This admonition to Pearl, or
Cindy, or Lucy, is no stranger in
| the average negro cabin these
nights since several negro farni-
I lies have met death at the hands
of what is believed to be a cult
| of religious fanatics.
The scare in 0pelousas and
surroundings has been aug
mented by the receipt by some
negroes of letters telling them
that OpeIousas was the next seat
Of operation for the bloody cult.
One negro, prominent ia
church circles, was told In d let
ter that he had eaten enough
chicken, and had had a merry
time all of his life, and now he
was to be sent to Abrahan's
bosom VIA the ak route.
There is not a negro cabin III
this section that is not securely
bolted ais soon as the shades Of
night make it possible for the
murderous work Of the Bloody
Sacrifice.
The Bloody Sacrifice as
the negroes call it, is supposed
to be guilty of the killing Of 26
people in the space of the past
two years. The cult is supposed
is attributed to religious
fanaticism, in which the sacri-
ficing of human beings is q part
of the teachings. They have So
far operated in Lafayette, Cal
casieu and Acadia parishes. and.
IN every instance the victims
meet death by the same means:
they are first Drained with an Ak
while asleep, and laid on Il bed
crossWise and face down.
Police officer Plais Horn, who
has been investigating the al
legged presence of agents of the.
Bloody sSacrifice' here, treats
the matter lightly as to any
thing indicating that they would
operate here. He attributes the
present fright among our negroes
to the superstition of the race.
But there are few negroes on
the streets at night these days.

acreage Of rice they will plant
this spring, q large percentage
of members Of the Southern Rice
Growers Association have re-
neWed contracts with the Asso-
ciation for the sale of their rice.
Many new members are being

more rice will be controlled by it
then in 1911.
An active campaign for addi-
tional membership will be started
this week in Louisiana and will
continue until all the rice par
ishes are thoroughly canvassed.
A similar campaign will be prose
cuted in Texas and Arkansas.
Meetings will be held at every
point in the three states where
rice farmers can be reached.
The following meetings have
been announced:
Jennings, Feb. 8. at the Asso-
citation Office, 2 p. m.
Lake Arthur, Feb. 5, at the
Country Club, 2 p. m.

These, IN substance, are Jne
words of Mr.. L. Austin Fonte-
not, who landed in the first pri-
mary as a member of the Legis-
lature from this parish.
Mr.. Fontenot was an AsWell
and Sanders supporter, and was
elected by a large m j ori t Y
simply because the p e o p ! e
thought he was the right man
for the place.
But while he goes there with on
Goo-Goo strings tied to him, he
is in favor of giving the winners
free hand to try all of the re
forms" they offered the people
in their platform and in pre-elec-
ton declarations, and if there is
any mistake made, hold them re-
sponsible for it.
Mr.. Fontenot is in accord with
the seemingly adopted plan of
the opposition to the League to
do nothing that will obstruct the
free passage of any Of the
League measures constituting
that organization S platform a nd
rostrum utterances. This inter-
ference could be made possible
by the fact that although Judge
Hall was elected Governor, the
League failed to elect the Lieu
tenant Governor and a majority
of the General Assembly, and If
the oppositian was minded to do
so, the Governor could do very
little, as he would be but mere
fgure-head.
But it has been determined, it
seems, to give Judge Hall full
swing, and if he at any time
tWelches, = to make him do that
which his hackers have promised
the people he would do.
Mr.. Fontenot's idea is a cor
rect one, = said Major A. 2. Ste
Wart, who is in the second race
for Representative from this
Parish, and I will heartily sec
ond him if sent to the Legisla-
ture. The people have divided
tn ell preferences by electing
Judge. Hall as Governor, and q
Legislature, I am told, by the
rules of politics adverse to him,
but which, / understand, will not
only refrain from obstructing
League legislation, but will aid
and force such legislation. | am
with the majority that will dc
the very best in our power to the
end that Judge Hall will be sup
ported in the passage Of the
measures embraced in his plat
form. Like Mr.. Fontenot, ! am
for harmony. Z
Prof. w. j.. Boudreau, another
Of the candidates for the Legis-
lature, has a strong card in an.
other column, fully defining his
position.
Messrs. M. H. Thompson anc
A. III. Garland, League candi-
dates for the Legislature, are
naturally for the League plat.
form; so that any two of The
four gentlemen who are candi
dates for the Legislature from
this parish are pledged to carry
out the reforms demanded bs
League, and which the League
could not give but for the de
termination of the opposition II
the League that the League shall
carry out its platform.
Perhaps a trial of the League
reforms is surer Of realization b.
having an anti-Hall Legislature
than they would be with a Legis
lature in political harmony witt
the Governor.
As it is Governor Hall cam
control the Legislature, which il
against him and is bent on see

something to eat / would not put
him in jail. He promised to do
so, and I gave him 25c, out Of
my own pocket to get something
Ito eat with. He left quietly and
| that was the end of the incident.
There were several prominent
and reliable men present at the
time and they will all bear me
out as to the truthfulness and
correctness of the above. Mr..
Custer Taylor, himself, If he can
remember the facts, will have to
admit that the above is nothing
more than the absolute truth.
If it were not for the fact that

always tried to perform my duty
