ding st. John plantation, WAS car
ried after hot aud vigorous CAM
paign.
The town ofSt. Martinville, with
the exception of five citizens, WAC
unanimous for the canal. The
five citizens who were fighting The

ters to oppose the canal which wns
for their own good.
The people Of st. Martiuville
felt that they wanted the canal
and went to work with the deter
miuation of winning, and every
thing possible was made to make

manned on The grounds all the day,
and nearly the whole town was
there. as by proclamation of the
Mayor. the day WAS made a legal
holiday aud every body was on
hand to bel p the canal enthusiasm,
business was entirely suspended.
At night when the information
was made public that The canal

the streets aud headed by the
Breaux Bridge Military Baud,
made the grandest display ever
witnessed in st. MarlinvllIe. The
air WAS full of music, yells Of joy.
laughter and fire work.
Every body joined III this grand
demonstration, aud it was u plea
Ing sight to see the entire popula-
tlOu, men, women and children ex-
pressing their joy and pleasure
and follow the procession.
We have reason to congratulate
ourselves Oh this victory, every

They Feel We Are Right.

We publish in this issue, arti-
clrs from the Thibodaux CONNER
cial-Journal, the Ibervills Sentinel
aud the Assumption Pioneer, 70
that our people can Judge of the
feeling and disposition of those
who have been having the benefit
Of all the money paid by the ell
tire Atchafalaya district for levee
protection.
They say Wa are jealous, selfish
aud ignorant of the real condition
of the affairs of the district. That
il the LafOurche dam is ordered
removed large amount of money
will have to be spent to rebuild
the lsvees on Bayou Lafourche.
We should like to ask these un-
selfish people who have had pro-
lection at our expense for nine
teen years. why should the La
fourche levees be build in prefer
ence to our protection? We are
not to be considered by the un-
selfish people on the other side
who for nineteen long have mono-
polized all the protection agains,
overflow at our expense, and now
that we demand our rights they
have the courage, the audacity to
say We are jealous and selfish.
Unfortunately for us, we have
been too patient; we waited, ex-
pecting that there was right, JUS
tico and unseltishness on the 9th
er side, we expected that some day.
the distinguished Atchafalaya
board would one day feel in their
heart, that in justice this west
side of the Atchafalaya was emit
tied to some protection, but We
have waited in vain.
The parishes of St. Martin, Ibe-
ria and st. Mary have paid
nearly one million do lars to
said levee board aud have waited
nineteen wears. and during these
long years not nickel WAS spent
for our protection, no: a spade of
dirt WAS moved to protect rs, not
u drop of water stopped from ill.,
undating our lands, and when we
raise voice of protest, we are im-
pudsntly told We are jealous and
selfish.
Patience with us has ceased to
be a virtue. we have declared war,
and W.T. are going to fight our right
to a finish.
We have the promise of Cover
nor Sanders that we would get JUS
tice AMI "ur ri ghts would he pro.
tected; We expect nothing more
than justice and our right. Wo
have faith in Governor Sanders
PROMISES, aud we feel that he will
use his authority in seeing that we
are given justice and our rights.
The present board will not do
that. and the only recourse is to
demand their removal and that We
be given good strong representa-
ton on the board.
The Governor has promised thai
he will order special published
meeting of the board, (none of
those little private family meet
ing) in order that the people of
this side. in the presence of the
Governor, can come their and sub
NIT their claims and them demand
for the protection they have paid
their money aud for which
they have a right to expect fair

SUDDEN DEATH NEAR CATO
Thomas Paris, One of County's Best Citi-
 zens, Expires Suddenly.

Cato, May P. - Special. - Thomas Paris, one of the best known citizens of the county, died at his home one mile north of here this morning at 9:3o o'clock. He had been ill only since yester- day when he was seized while at work in his field with an attack of appendicitis.
 MT. Paris was born in York county, South Carolina, January IS 1850, and came to this county in November, 1871. He was married at his native home in 1877. He has for many years been regarded as one of the County's most intel ligent and substantial citizens, and while he has never held any pub lie office other than a township or local position, he has at all times taken an active interest in politics.
 MT. Paris is survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Harriet l.. Paris, of Cato, who is 82 years old.

Little Rock, May 22.-Going right down the line to save the state S7oo 900 OH the appropriations made, Governor Donaghey is to- day comforting with the University of Arkansas board to see what can be saved there. Governor Doua- ghey has not the least idea as to what will be cut off, President Tillman being relied upon to tell what can be dispensed with with out affecting the school materially.
 It has been decided, though, the state will save the cost an adjutant geueral for the state guard, Gov ernor Donaghey being of the opinion that the state does not need an adjutant general and as sistant at the same time.

TO ABANDON GAS WELL.
Promoters Will Start New We'll in Hope
 of Getting Strong Flow.

Plumerville, May 22.-Aban- doning all hope ot ever getting the string of tools out of the way so the we'll could be sunk deeper, the promoters of the gas well at Plumerville have quit work upon the 2,oIS foot hole in disgust. Fully SIO, 900 has been spent in prospecting there and when the we'll was nearing the place where the drillers expected to find a ready flow of gas, troubles began to come, and the old set of tools got in the way and all efforts to fish them out failed and the drill would not pass them, so the well must be abandoned. When about 1000 feet down small flow of gas was struck, and it has since grown stronger, so the we'll will probably be shot as last hope, and this may produce enough gas to gener- ate steam to operate the drill for the new we'll which is to be started within short distance of the old one. Col. John B. Jones, who is one of the leaders in the company, stated yesterday afternoon his faith in the gas proposition was as firm as ever and he was willing to invest his last dollar in sinking holes in Conway looking for the natural fuel, as he is confident it is there.
