la Hsr OMn.

The fourth civic organization
for the promotion Of the town Of
Opelousas was launched on Thurs
day night of last week, when d
number of young men met in
the banquette hall Of the Star
Hotel and took initial steps to
form a club composed of hugt-
ling young fellows. with the pur-
pose iii view of boosting things
up generally, and particularly
the location Of the Frisco round
house at this point, and the estab-
fishing of manufacturing enter
prises by local and foreign capi-
tai.
No name for the new organiza-
tion was selected, but this will
be done at a meeting to be held
in the, near future.
This organization is not anita
gonastic TO the three other bodies
of the like nature now existing
the Progressive League, the
Ladies' Civic League and the.
Louisiana Boosters Club but on
the contrary. will join issue with
them in all moves for the better
ment Of things il this section.
Many Of the members Of the new
club are hard working members
Of other kindred organizations.
The people Of Opelousas vel
come the new club among the
ranks of those who are now
striving TO make 0pelousas come
to her own.

20, yes, a great change has
come over the minds Of the pe0-
/ pie of Opelousas IN the last

hustling citizen of Opelousas.
I remember the time, s b hi 81
twenty years ago, when the lee
factory was in contemplation, Of
a prominent citizen, a merchant
here now, making the remark to
me: Why, an ice factory won
pay here. Who will buy iee,
when you can tie a rope to a Jug
of water and drop the JUG III q

ammonia from the ice? 8
We'll, continued the hastIing
citizen, the ice factory was es

months after it had begun oper

the jug of water in the well
standing on a street corner on d
hot summer day, pcrspiring, and
saying things that wouldn't look
well in print. What's the mat

Well, I have been waiting
here an hour for the ice wagon,
he replied, Wiping the perspira
tion from his brow, and looking
right vicious, for ice for break
fast, and there's no sign of 1t yet.
I'll just hitch up and go and get
a piece Of ice myself, and he
started for his house to hitch his
vehicle.
But look. { hailed to him,
why didn't you drop d jug of
water III your well last night
I thought you told me it " d
better than ice!
The man OF the jug didn l.e-
ply, but continued his way t0 his
home, hitched his buggy and
went for i dime = worth 81 M

Doctor Hatfield.

The Herald-Dispatch approves
with cordial emphasis the high and
impersonal character of DR.. Hat
fields vigorous campaign. we can
not commend too often the construo-
tive, the creative, the positive, the
solid1y evolutionary structure of his
political service, ana we cannot In
sist too often that this gives him
particularly in this year above all
others, a decided advantage over
Democratic opponent.
We give the above from the Kant
ington Herald-Dipatch, which paper
from the very start Of the campaign
has been one of the main boosters OF
DR.. Hatfield. 1t may be noted rel-
evantly or irrelevantly that the Her
ald-Dispatch. has been constant
and untiring supporter of the whis-
key interests of the State
We think that the circumstance is
peculiarly relevant. DR.. Hatfield
became the nominee because he was
advocated and pressed for nominal
ton by the whiskey forces Of the
State These interests are seeking
to control the state just as they are
now controlling such counties a.
Mcdowell and Fayette and Mingo.
Dr. Hatfield is for them an ideal
candidate. They trust him implic-
lily and perfectly Between the
whiskey organization and DR.. Hat
field there exists no misunderstAnd-
ing or conflict.
AS we see it, the feature OF this
campaign is whether the people Of
West Virginia wish to adopt for the
State the character government
that exists In Mcdowell county. DR..
Hatfield is not ono degree above
that system of government.
He stated in his campaign for
state senator that he would, be con-
trolled by the wishes Of his imme-
diate constituents. We reefr to o
speech made by him at Williamson,
In Mingo county. That he will hold
himself responsible to them now, az.
in the past, there is no sort Of
doubt
The political organization Of the.
whole section to which DR.. Hatfield
is responsive, is under the complete
domination of the whiskey crowd.
His nomination for governor was
procured through the efforts Of the
Denham-Highland wniskey crowd, OF
Harrison county His strongest
support comes from the Wheeling
lntelligencer and the Huntington
Herald Dispatch, both Of which pa
pers are paid advocates Of the whis-
key interests.
III The Tribune Is not lighting Ghe
republican State ticket. 1t does reg
ister it's protest against the election
OF DR. Hatfield, and asks the Inde-
pendent republicans of Fayettes
county to vote against him, despite
the fact that his name appears on
their ticket -Fayette Tribune. IRE
