Deputy Sheriff Piker left with Drom-

Williams family consists of his wife

1t is not known what the boy did

A later account in the New Orleans
Picayune gives the following:
"Sim, 10-year-old son of Williams,
was in the Dromgoole store Monday
morning, and is declared to have mis-
behaved. The merchant corrected
the boy, who is alleged to have offered
Insulting remarks. 1t is charged that
Dromgoole cursed the child and kicked

''In the afternoon Williams, unarmed,
went to the store to inquire about the

and Williams caught Dromgoole's arm
and struck him. After struggle Drom-

behind the counter. Williams in the
meantime had jumped off the store
gallery. Dromgoole fired three times,
all shots taking effect, before VIII
lliams seized the merchant and pulled
him to the ground. He was beating
Dromgoole when the latter fired the

EDWARD PERCY CHARGES MAY
BE RENEWED

The charges against Edward M. Per-
cy, Alphonse Percy, ,Jr, and Manuel
Trigot, the three young men honorably
discharged by United States Commits
sioner Arthur H. Browne a few days
ago, are renewed, we regret to note
from city papers. Rudolfo Perez, con-
sui general of Panama, and Attorney ].
Marshall Quintero, have called on Com.
missioner Browne for the purpose of
swearing to an affidavit against the
men. 1t was stated that extradition
papers for the removal of the accused
to Panama had been received since the
release of the three men and that Con-
sui General Perez was ready to charge
them with having circulated counter
| felt money to the amount of $4,000.
Charges to this effect were drawn up
in the office of the commissioner, but
the latter, after consultation with Dis
trict Attorney Walter Guion, decided
to defer action in the matter. In the
new affidavit the accused are specifi
cally charged with having, on May 81
1918, at Colon, Panama, uttered as
true, with intent to defraud one Wong
Lam, 600 bills of the denomination Of
! S. each. When the case was called fol
trial before Commissioner Browne las
week the accused were discharged, a.
lno further news in the matter had beer
heard from the Panama authorities.

HOW TO BUILD UP
OR TEAR DOWN
THIS COMMUNITY,
BY J. o. LEWIS.
HELP YOURSELF BY HELPING
YOUR TOWN.

The attitude you maintain toward
your home town-its business men
and it's institutions-is reflected in the
success or failure of the same.
The success and happiness of every
citizen in any community lie in the in
terest he takes in that community and
the good work he can do to assist in
it's upbuilding. Everything you do to
help in the advancement of your own
community you do just that much to-
ward your own personal success. No
man can live and prosper unto himself
alone, for you are interdependent, and,
realizing this, as good citizens, you
should unite and pull together for the
common good, and, doing this, you will
prosper as a community and as indi-
viduals.
No town can stand still 1t must
either go forward or decline, and it is
up to you to say which it will be.
Some towns hustle and grow-that
is. the people hustle and the town
grows. They get the habit of boosting
until every citizen becomes booster
and rpetty soon it's reputation spreads
and it becomes known far and wide as
good town, while others lapse into
a state of innocuous desuetude-an
easy rock along manner-that soon
classes that particular place as dead
one.
If you are knocking and complaining
stop it. Nothing hurts a town more
If you cannot say something good DOM
say anything, and, above all, dom
knock. If you are not booster be
come one.
The success of the retail merchant
depends on the patronage of his home
people, the home jobber is largely de
pendent on the patronage of his home
retailer, the banks are dependent like
wise on the success of all, while the
success and happiness of the people
depend on the success of the business
men.
Now, one of the greatest injuries
you can do your home town or commu
nity-to the business men who are de
pendent on your patronage-is to orde
your goods from mail order houses O
patronize merchants in other towns
Every dime sent from your communit,
to a mail order house is removed en-
tirely from local circulation. Its prin
cipal and interest are both gone
whereas the money spent with tn
home merchant goes Immediately int
circulation and in due course come
back to you.
Thousands of dollars annually ar
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1913-08-16

being sent to mail order houses from
this community, thus depriving home
merchants of their rightful patronage.
And yet, no matter how much the
home merchant is dependent on the
patronage Of his home people, he is
supposed to give and to aid in every
work undertaken for the material bet
etrment of the town, and he does, be-
ing often coerced into giving by the
demands of his customers, fearing to
offend them because of the fear of loss
of their patronage.
Unlike your home merchant, mail Or
der houses pay no taxes or privilege
license to do business in your commu-
nifty. Neither do they contribute to
your churches, schools, public roads,
charities or anything else, and, above
all, they give no employment to any
one in your family or home town.
You want your schools kept up, your
churches supported, your streets kept
in repair, your town properly policed
and protected by good fire fighting
equipment, etc. In other words, you
want your town to prosper be well
run and the people to be happy and
contented. Yet if you are sending
your money to other institutions in
other cities and towns you are defeat
ing the very object for which you
strive
Now, this town building is a serious
matter-a great big proposition-anG
| if you are not treating tits business
men fairly you are not treating your
self fairly. You are undermining the
ver9 Foundation of your well being.

Take the
Binders
OF

A lot of storekeepers are going
around with binders on. They only
half see things, and usually it Is the
wrong half that they see. 1t Is like
this with the parcel post. Some
merchants can only see the good it
is going to do the mail order houses.
They don't see its possibilities for
themselves.
THE PARCEL POST GIVES THE
SMALL DEALER A FINE FIELD
WITHIN HIS OWN TERRITORY.
In his zone no outsider can COM
pete with him, as far as cost of ship
ping and quickness of delivery are
concerned. The parcel post places
the local business man within touch
of bigger buying public than he
ever dreamed OF in other days. The
purchasers of his goods are only
waiting to be told his address.
