We want new parish, continued

take too much territory, for which
fact we are not responsible, but some
Of the leaders Of she anti-diyisionists
are. Now that we have won thai
we have demonstrated that the peo-
pie generally favor new parish-we
can afford to be nice and give back
some Of the territory over which %
much fuss and feathers has been
made
How can it Be done? Simple
enough. With the dipisionists ID

find no trouble in obtaining two

GAS MEETING POSTPONED.
BusehFyafsli Syndicate Not sssdY to Eaisr
into Negotiations Tor Pipe lIne.

Upon the advice Of Mayor Mouton,
Of Lafayette, the gas meeting to have
been held in the city Of Lafayette
Thursday Of this week was postponed.
Mayor Mouton explained to t h &
President, Mr.. ] oh h w. Lewis, and
the Secretary, Mr. Aaron Jacobs, of
the association formed here two
weeks ago for the purpose Of induc-
ing the pipe line to run from the Cad
do gas field into New Orleans to take
q course along the Southern Pacific
railroad and thereby touch 0pelensas,
Lafayette and other towns, that the
Busch-Everett Syndicate, who are at
the head Of the gas concern, has SO
far been unable to arrange With the
city of New Orleans TO enter that city,
and therefore are in no position to
enter into negotiations with our peo-
pie.
Hence the futiIity Of holding the
meeting as proposed.
It is proposed, however, for the
towns along the route to send the
necessary statistics to the secretary
at 0pelousas, so that should any ques-
tions pending a meeting be asked BY
the pipe line promoters, figures will
be at hand to furnish them. What
the promoters want to know is the
population Of the town, its manufae-
turers, and the totalcoal consumption
Of each town.
It is probable that a meeting of the
association will be called as soon as
5he gas people are ready to talk bus
ness.

Negroes Of Palmetto Can't
Stand Dryness Of Things

Deputy Sheriff EWell Swords hopes
that he h as effectually broken up
blind tiger traffic in Palmetto, & small
station on the Texas e Pacific line, ID
the Northern portion Of this parish.
Palmetto has been dry for sew
eral years. It was boozeIess before
st. Landry went dry, the fourth ward
Of the parish, in which it is located,
having voted local option some years
ago. Strange to say most of The viola
tions Of prohibition law since the.
drouth struck the parish have come
from the fourth ward It appears
that the denizens thereof had gotten
their hands in and become experts ID
the ar It of blindtigering before the
rest of the parish vas initiated. And,
TO say. the only dry ward
IN the parish went vet at the gen
eral election for parish prohibition.
For some time past the white peo-
pla of Palmetto have been aunoYed

cit traffic With vhiskey. The negroes
would give balls and g t gloriousIy
drunk, sometimes shoot up the town,
which IS not incorporated. il IS even
said that nude dances a Ia Salome

Deputy Sheriff Swords made ID his
mind, when informed of this state of
afairs, to break it up. H e went to-

LsEos Foreman MsCOy Duke the Victim and
James Alexandria The Murderer.
VICTIMS PISTOL IS USED.
Negro CFeeps Up to Whita man and Shoots
Him II Back--Duke Was Highly DesarV.
Ing Boy, Esteemed In the Community.

Using the victims pistol abstracted
from the pocket of his coat which he
had hung up in a tree, James Alexsn.
dria, black negro, Monday morning
stealthily crept up to the levee fore
man, Duke Mccoy, white, while at
work on a leyee camp two miles above
Melville, and shot him TO death.
The murder was absolutely unpro-
voked. tt ID said that the white man
had repremanded the negro the Sat
urday before, but there was no
thought that the black fend was
nursing murder in his heart on that
account.
Duke, who is about tWenty-three
years Of age, was foreman for d
levee camp for Hearn & Ryan, con-
tractors, at Bayou Latanache, near
Melville, just across the st. Landry
line in Pointe Coupee. The negro
Alexandria, aged about twenty years,
was d levee hand. Saturday The ne
gro and Duke had few words, but
Duke dismissed the matter from his
mind, the negro having returned to-
his work Monday
Monday Duke went to his work as
usual, taking along his pistol, as is
the custom with foremen working ne
groes. He left the pistol in his coat
pocket, hanging his coat in tree.
They had not been at work long when
the negro managed to secure the
pistol from his foreman's coat pocket,
and creeping up to the unsuspectine
man, deliberately shot him to death,
firing from the rear Of the man. The
murderer made the swamps, taking
along the pistol.
Duke was a young man of good
habits, who had BY his own efforts
worked himself up from d common
laborer to the position Of foreman. !
He was raised in the vicinity of Big
Cane, partially on the plantation Of
Sheriff Swords. His father now lives
in that section, and is himself leyee
foreman.
Hearn & Ryan, the contractors for
whom Duke was foreman, have offered
a reward Of 500 for the capture Of
the murderer.
The following description Of the
negro is furnished.
Age 20 years; black, white pock
marks on face; scar on left cheek, /
just above cheek hone; white spots
on two middle fingers of right hand,
of scalds; weight 1901
pounds; about 5 feet 8 inches; high
size Of shoe No. 8; when last seen
had on patent leather shoes, black
pants, steel gray shirt, black hat.
