Robert C. Ingcrsoll.-It is beautiful
to give one day to the ldeal-to have
one day apart: one day for generous
deeds. for good will. for glances: one
day to forget the shadows. the rains.
the storms OF life; to remember the
sunshine. the happiness OF youth and
health. one day to forget the briars
and thorns of the winding path. 20
remember the fruits and the flowers: I:
one day to feel the brotherhood of
man: one day to get acquainted with
children. to remember the old. the
unfortunate and the imprisoned; one
day In which to forget yourself and
think lovingly OF others: one day for
the family. for the fireside, for wife
and children. for the love and laugh
ter. the Joy and rapture OF home: one
day I'm which bonds and stocks and
deeds and notes and interest and mort
cages and all kinds of business and
trade are forgotten accounts and all
stores. shops and factories. office and
banks. ledgers. accounts and lawsuits
are cast aside. put away and locked
up and the weary heart and brain are
given a voyage to fairyland. Let us
hope that such day is prophecy
OF what all days win be.

McGehee but a. man of some foibles,
weaknesses, tempers, prejudices as
everybody has that shows kinship
with mankind, but through all of his
actions ran a nobility of purpose, a
desire for the best in all human en-
deavor, that raised him above his own
idiosyncracies to the height of
grand manhood. He was loyal
friend, a frank foe. He temporized
never. He gave of his best to earth

built by increased taxation. Debt
with proper effort to pay is no dis
grace. With right thinking people
debt is an incentive to work hard
ed and make the most of every OPP
31rtunity that presents itself. While
it is highly desirable to pay cash
for everything, debt is often justifia-
BILE unnecessary, and nearly every
great industrial enterprise is built
and maintained on more or less
credit.
The idea of letting each ward take
its own road is impracticable, except
in cases where the parish as a unit
refuses to act; then it is sometimes
necessary.
West Feliciana needs good roads
and bridges; they are a crying ne
cessity. With them she would soon
come into her own; without them
she goes on the down grade, and
nothing can save her.

IN RE THE ABOVE.

The foregoing is published, not
that we indorse a single sentiment
which the article contains, but be-
cause The True Democrat is The
only medium through which the peo-
pie of this parish may make public
heir views upon public questions.
We believe at all times in present
ing the ideas of our citizens to our
subscribers.
We are sorry to see Mr.. Gilmore,
who has received so much honor at
the hands of the people of West
Feliciana Parish, pursue a course an-
tagonistic to the better interests of
the parish and her favored sons, dur
ing the past five years. He is a man
Of some good ideas and capable OF
producing good results when his ef-
forts are directed in the right direc-
ton, but at the present time we are
forced, by his words and actions, to
the conclusion that he is entirely ont
of harmony with the views of ma
jority of our people.
The present system of roads and
bridges has been in vogue long
enough "a mere matter of one hun
bred and twenty-five years. to prove
it's inadequacy, and the road system
of the parish is in worse shape than
it has ever been. Clearly, it is time
for action, immediate and specific.
Unless good roads are constructed
and bridges built over the principal
streams, settlers will never be N
duced to locate in our parish. We
know of several instances where peo-
pie have come here, selected locations,
agreed on the price, and then baked
over our miserable roads. We also
know of plantations for sale today,
be cause of bad roads. Furthermore,
others will leave as soon as the 0p-
portunity presents itself, unless i'm
provement is made.
The lands of West Feliciana are
as fertile as can be found anywhere.
With the improvements surrounding
them that surround northern and
western lands they would command
just as high a price. When a man
seeks location he takes notice OF
he accessibility to market; if the
roads are bad, he seeks farther. 1t
has been demonstrated time and
again that the bad roads of the par
| ish have been the only stumbling
block in the way of securing desira-
BILE immigrants.
| Mr.. Gilmore's expression fancy
roads and bridges" is amusing. What
is wanted and what is contemplated
| is a system of roads and bridges that
will allow free communication in all
parts of the parish, regardless of the
condition Of the weather or the stage
of water in the creeks There Is a
way to secure these things without
the unnecessary expenditure of a
single dollar and there Is no necessi'
u ty of intimating graft until rea'
son for it appears.
The assessments and rate of taxa
ton on West Feliciana lands are not
too high. When we take into consid
GRAFTON the vast benefits to be de
rived by a slight increase in this di
rection for the building of roads and
bridges they appear very low.
If we wait until the parish has the
actual cash in hand to pay out f0l
. building roads and bridges, they will
never be built. They can only bt

Walter Holsted, of Baton Rouge,
killed himself last Thursday night.
He was out of work and in ill health
and in a fit of dependency shot
himself. When he returned to his
home that night he told his wife
that he had letter to write. 1t
proved to be his last letter to her,
for at one o'clock in the morning his
wife was awakened by a pistol shot
On the back gallery. Death was al
most instantaneous.
Mrs. Holstead was formerly Miss

with her in her bereavement. She
