PARISH SEAT SHOULD
Be LOCATED IN CENTER
Will Save Thousands of Miles Travel
to the People of the Parish

One of the principle reasons adj
vanced by orr good friends, the Jen-
nings parish divisionsts for the
division of the parish was, that the
court house ought to be in reach Of
the people, This was q point well
taken and should be of sufficient
weight in itself, to induce any fair
minded man to vote for locating the
parish seat in the center Of the parish,
and we believe when the average man
comes to see just what it means in the
matter of saving miles of travel by SO
locating it instead Of locating the seat
of government ever on the Mermentau
he will vote for locating the parish
capitol in Welsh, the center of the
parish. In order to bring this matter
clearly before the voters we wish to
present few facts and figures relative
to the number of miles farther the
people OF the parish would have to
travel should the parish seat be locat-
ed at Jennings instead of Welsh.
AS the distance between Welsh and
Jennings is II miles, it is evident that
every man living on the west side of a
line drawn north and south through
the center of Welsh, would have to
travel II miles further in going and
II miles further in returning from the
parish seat if it were located at Jen.
nings, than he would have tc
travel, we're it located at Welsh a
total of 90 miles would be added tt
the distance any man living anywhere
vest of the Welsh meridian would
have to travel in making a trip to TIT
parish seat, if it were located at Jen
nings, over aud above what it would
be necessary for him to travel if thu

Welsh CAUSE STRENGTHENED

Was Not in Accord With Wishes of
People so Made Room for Another
as Editor of Elton Progress

Relative to the comment made in the
JOURNAL at the head of an article re-
printed from the Elton Progress, en-.
titled, "This will settle it," Mr.. c.. M.
Marshall, who has resigned his DO.
sitlon as editor of that newsv little
paper, makes the following statement
In the Jennings paper.

Editor Times-Record:
"My attention was called today to
an article appearing in the columns
Of the Rice Belt Journal of Welsh and

Read, the editor of the aforesaid
journal, has stated that | am IN.
equivocal(v for Welsh. When Mr.,
Read undertakes to prove that he OF
others, the management the Progress
included, that they have ever heard
me declare for Welsh, they will fnd
that they have been barking up the
wrong tree
We are pleased to learn Mr.. Mar
shall's actual position on the parish
seat question. AS his name stood a
the head of the editorial columns O
the Progress, and as the article il
question:, was published as though
eliminating from the editor of the paper
containing it, and was not credited tx
any other source, we are sure we ar
excusable for atGributing SO meritori
Gus an article to the facile pen of thu
editor.
We can but commend Mr.. Marshal
for resigning his position as editor o
the Progress, for it is an assured fac
that o. local newspaper cannot fulfi
it's mission of good in the communit
if it's policy, and that of its editor ar
not in harmony with the best interest

Inform the voters also that the
grand juries and petit juries are paid
mileage ard per diem; that the bigger
the parish the more mileage aud cost
to the taxpayers, the more incon-
venience to the gentlemen whoever
they be.
Will not the location of the parish
seat at the extreme edge of smaller
parish work similar hardship on the
people that more centrally located
parish seat worked in larger one?
If so, why locate the parish seat at
Jennings, which is q miles from the

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT
LOCATION or PARISH SEAT
Views Expressed by Men of Other
Parts, With Comment.

The Jennings Times Record savss
in its issue of August 26:
"The people realize that the general
welfare OF all concerned can best be
guaranteed by naming as the parish
seat a town that is easier Of access to
a majority Of the residents than is
any other contestant for the parish
seat"
There is no doubt about the truth Of
this assertion, and a single glance at
the map of Jefferson Davis parish on
this page will convince even the most
earnest jennings advocate that
WELSH, located in the exact geo.
graphical center of the parish, is far
more accessible to a greater portion
OF t b parish t h an Jennings,
lOcaten in the extreme eastern
edge OF the parish, can possibly be.
Welsh has identically the same rail-
road Accommodations that Jennings
has, and in addition is within easv
driving distance of every pat of the
parish except Topsy, while Jennings
is SO far to one side that the residents
of large portion of the parish would
be unable to drive there and transact
| business and return the same day.
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1912-08-30

The Jennings Times-Record saws,
in speaking OF the recent registrations:
Hundreds of names are being
placed on the tregistration) rolls in
the western part of the parish, who
are ABSOLUTELY INCAPACIATED
for the use of the elective franchise"
As we see it this assertion can have
but one meaning, and that is, JEN-
NINGS thinks the people of the west
ern part of the parish are too ignorant
to vote intelligently. We are of the
opinion that Jennings is mistaken.
and will fnd that at least vs. per cent
of them know that it will be to the
advantage of the people of the parish
as whole to locate the parish seat
in the center, rather than on the ex-
IRENE eastern border.

Mr.. Modisette is an intelligent man

be questioned, even by his enemies,
should he have any. much less by his

ship team with outfelders like
Murphy, Lord, Oldring, Hartzel
and Strunk. But if Maggart
shows his true form in the big
brush, he will be playing regu-
lar berth in the outfeld with
Lord and Oldring.
His hitting is superior to that
of Murphy, Strunk and Hartzel,
and he is a better base runner
than outfelder in Connie Mack's
team of champions.
For the past two seasons he
has been the most sensational
base runner in the Coast league.
All catchers found it next to inn
possible to throw him out at sec
ond or third. Like Ty Cobb,
Maggy likes to "hit the dirt"
sliding on all occasions, whether
it is necessary or not. He says he
does this to keep in practice and
1t feelS more natural tor him to
slide than to go into a base stand
ing up. He frequently slides into
first base.
Maggart is the best product of
the Coast league on the bases,
and he should be among the lead
ers in the American league next
season. His only fault is his dis
position to sulk, and when he
played with Oakland, Harry
.Wolverton found it necessary to
suspend him last year.
With a manager like Connie
Mack, Maggart should become
star in any company. The coast
league has never sent a more
promising player to the major
