Lafourche 8 LabadieviIle

Lafourcte drove up the bayou
last Sunday to cross bats with
!abadieville in their own back
yard. The game started out in
terestingly, but our boys were
far superior and had things
their own way until the ninth in
ming, when Knobloch who had
pitched wonderful ball let up for
a while to allow the fielders prac-
tice, and seven runs were total
led in that inning, but no more.
Lafourche having eight runs to it's
credit the game was still theirs.
Had it not been for the batting
fest that Sid. allowed in the last
round of the contest the home
boys would have had shut out
to their credit. AS it is, the
game was for them, but the cre-
dit would have been all the great
er if it had been nine goose eggs
instead of making all runs in one
inning. The locals batted fast,
good and strong and were in the
game at every stage playing all q.
round and credit being due all.
Next Sunday Latourche will
meet Jeanerette at Dantin's Park.

Trowbridge and Niver bond
floaters, last week brought a party
of seventy northern and western
capitalists in a special train to
Louisiana. They took them over
the Southern Pacific Railroad to
Raceland. Lockport, Houma, Crow
ley and Abbeville. The object OF
the trip was to show them the
lands being reclaimed in these dill
ferent places by the proper system
of drainage. The territory between
Raceland and Lockport was
thoroughly inspected and the eyes
OF the visitors were opened, whe n
they were shown actual facts, and
the possibilities Of this sectl; on.
The corn people saw corn grow ng
superior to that in the corn states
of the union, and they were convinced
that two and three crops could be
made here where only one could
be made north. The transportation
facilities, by use Of canals and ba-
yous, also impressed the visitors
very favorably.
The bond floaters have no hesi-
fancy in saying now that any bonds
that land companies desire to float
in this section can easily be floated,
as the facts brought home to the
visiting capitalists have opened
their eyes to the future as well as
the possibilities of this section of
the globe.

Our prediction of months ago is
rapidly coming to be stern facts.
The prohibitionists are going to car
~ their fight into the next Legisla-
ture. There will be a world OF bills
introduced preventing the sale OF
liquor or the issuance OF licenses
therefor, after the first OF January
next, in any town or city OF less
than three hundred thousand in
habitants. In this manner New
Orleans will be eliminated from pro
hibiticn and will probably support
the bill as business matter, for
cling all the liquor to be sold in
New Orleans or shipped out from
that city. A bill to this effect will
be introduced by our good friend,
Hon. Robert Roberts Jr., of Min
den La, who by the way would
make an ideal and tip top candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, and for
whom we would like to vote if he
does not run on prohibition tic
ket.
After this bill is enacted into
law, We reiterate what We said be-
fore, the prohibitionists will have
won their fight, for the country be-
ing deprived of enjoying the sale of
liquor will be pitted against the
city and a constitutional amend
ment will be introduced in the
General Assembly of 1912 making
the sale of liquor anywhere in the
State of Louisiana, contrary to law.
This will be New Orleans punish
ment, il her representatives sup
port any bill making the sale OF
liquor against the law, outside OF
New Orleans. Unless this scheme
is nipped in the bud prohibition
will be with US next year.
