CHANGED HIS MIND

Mr.. Fred w. Crockett has evidently changed
his mind as to the relationship of the dual rail
road interests in this locality with the o. s. l..
company. When Mr.. Wells was here and made
his Howery speech he close friend of Hon.
p l.. Williams, attorney general for the Short
Line, and was, according to reports, extended the
glad hand by all o. s. l.. officials According to
reports he was almost a CO partner with Simon
Hamburger. and the affair took on the appearance
of a collision with the Short Line interests. Now
the scene has changed and Mr.. Crockett unhitches
Mr.. Wells from the Short Line caravan, and lays
his inability to come through at their door Well
there are four points in the controversy and we
can answer but two First, there attempted
collision between the l.. r. T. Co and the Short
We don't know. Second, there, and is there
collision between the l.. /. T. Co., and the Short
Line? We don't know, and are free to say we
have heard either party say sweet things about
the other Third, has Wells made good. We say
No! Fourth, has the l.. r. T. Co.. made good +?
Yes everybody's saying it, Yes!

National prosperity originates on the farm.
The farmer Is the dynamic force. This is the rea-
son the farmer is alluded to the backbone of
the country" The welfare of the farmer is insep-
arabic from the welfare of the nation, and OF each
individual citizen of the nation. A failure of any
of our staple crops is felt throughout the world.
The shock OF failure, however Is felt more at home
than abroad; it is felt more at the point or sec
tion Of failure than by the country at large; it is
felt still more by the individual farmer who has
failed and who takes his all to pay his debts.-D.

Quarterly Conference Held.

r. The Fourth Quarterly Conference
Of Zion M. e. Church. held last ey-
ening, was one of interest. Mr.. Ray
mond L. Mowbray was presented to
the District Superintendent as a
candidate for local preachers Ii
cense, having been duly Endorsed by
the Official Board of the church for
this office. DR.. Stephenson gave
him a thorough examination on the
discipline Of the church. and re-
quested DR.. Wyatt to examine him
on doctrine. He passed the ex-
animation with credit, and was IL
censed by the Conference to preach.
Action was also taken commend
ing him to the Wilmington Annual
Conference for admission, on trial.
The report of the pastor showed
encouraging progress. Eight. had
been received into full membership
and 3S on probation during the
quarter. Tender words were spok-
en- by the pastor concerning the late
Sewell T. Milbourne, Esq, Mrs. Su-
sic Phillips and Mrs. Matte Horney.
The church has made good fl
nancial showing and the salary has
been paid with a good degree of
promptness. The pastor was cor
daily invited to return for the
third year.

Bull Moose PARTY Slow Pau

Is the Bull Moose party in Mary
land financially bankrupt? This, at
least, is the natural and fair In
ference in view of the fact that adj
vertising accounts incurred during
the Presidential campaign, accepted
in good faith by the county press.
upon the order of the National Com
mitteeman, the ostensible head of
the party in the State, remain un-
paid. And, furthermore, all state
ments and requests for payment are
utterly ignored, without the usual
business courtesy of a reply to com
munications, indicating that not
only is the party embarrassed IL
nancially, but that its affairs are In
the hands of incompetent and unre-
liable managers.-Chestertown En-
terprise.

YACHT CLUB ACTIVE.
Preparations Being Made For Ar
nual Regatta Many Improve
ments to be Made. &

| That the Cambridge Yacht Glib
will not lag in the matter OF MAX.
ing its annual regatta one of tht
most attractive features in yachtipe
circles next season is shown by the
| determination of the Board of Coy
errors to start actively at work On
| short time upon elaborate plahs
for the regatta next summer. III
IS the intention of the Board Of Coy
errors to have a Water Carnival
this year in connection with tne
races so that the spectators may
be entertained every moment from
the start until the finish. A nuIh-
Der Of the racing events, 1t Is elk
pected, will be held upon COURSES

view of the public, instead of Rs

ing them up and down the river, out

The Board of Governors, too. at
the meeting last Thursday evening,
took decided action to strictly en-
force the House Rules and to Pre-
vent any conduct that Is disorderiy.
or infringement by members upon
the rights and privileges of 9TH
members. The impression existe
among the Board of Governors, too,i
that there can be, except during the
summer months, when the Regatta
Committee is very busy, no COED
reason for keeping the house open
until the small hours of the MORN
Ing. 4
A number of improvements are
contemplated to the interior and
exterior of the building during the
Spring and Summer months, and It
Is felt certain that, without excep-
tion, all members will be proud OF
the appearance of the buildings.
Some changes in the grounds are
also contemplated, and it is the
belief OF the officials that no Yacht
Club in the State will have as at
tractive quarters as those of the
local Club.

Missionary Notes.

A returned missionary in telling of the
conditions in China, says. there is no home
life in China except among the Christian
Chinese. In the heather home you will find
no bath tub nor tooth brush. but you. will
find an ancestral hall, a family god.and a
kitchen god. At the end Of the year they
burn these gods and send them up to give
an account of the conduct Of the family.
Then three days they are without a god and
then they can do anything they want to.
In a Christian home you find a large
room with a large lamp, a enter table with
q Bible, hymn book and sometimes. maya
zines on it. In this room all the family as
semble in a social way. In a heather home
the girls cannot visit or their characters
will be questioned.
A heather Chinese lady visiting a
Christian Chinese lady, after noting the
cleanliness of the home, exclaimed, my,
you are clean enough to killl' The Chinese
as a nation know very little of sanitation,
therefore it is essential for the mission
schools to teach it. 80

FATHERLESS

There seems to be a number of what
one maybe able to:tarm "fatherless fathers, =
in this city. Whether it is the fault of the
parents or net it is the truth, however, that
there are a number Of young boys running
along the streets at all hours of the night.
A boy in short trousers will accomplish moth
ing by hanging" around town in the day
time, much less at night. His place is at
home, in bed.
How fathers and mothers can allow
their children to associate in bad company is
beyond understanding. Why they do not
correct them when they find that their child
rem have done wrong is another incompre-
fhensible thing.
If the word father signifies one that
leaves his child do anything, no matter
whether it is right or wrong, it is sad but
true then, but Opelousas must have many
of them.

FARMERS UNION.

On account of the fact that the Clarion
did not publish an account Of the meeting
which was held at the Courthouse on Satur-
day, November lst, at which meeting Mr..
Duckworth made an excellent talk in favor
of the Farmers Union, the idea has gotten
abroad that the Clarion is either against the
Farmers Union, or does not care to help out
the farmers Of St. Landry.
Whilst the editor of the Clarion admits
that it was a little neglect on his part, it
must be understood that in the issue Of last
week there was very little space, and on ac-
count of being so thoroughly occupied with
other business the editor unintentionally
neglected to write a news article concern
ing this meeting.
This paper is heartily in favor of help
ing out the farmers as much as is possible,
and whenever it can do ANYTHING in the way
of assisting them we will tender our services
to them.
We hope. however, that the misleading
rumor which has been brought to the ears
of the Farmers Union people, will no longer
exist and that the members of this order
will hereafter and as long as the present
editor and manager will have anything to
do with the Clarion feel assured this paper
will always advocate the cause of the tillers
of the soil.
The Clarion is not against the Farmers
Union, because it is convinced that the
farmers in this section have been greatly
benefited by this organization.

Thibodeaux if he had not seen
one of the parties with a fish,
thereby intimating to the court
that they were fishing. He GER
tainly did, and the hounds must
have run that fish through the
stands where it evidently met its
fate at the hands of one of the
many unerring marksmen. The
poor fish was doomed anyway,
as it would certainly have been
run to death by the dogs.
The trial went on, however,
and ten were acquitted, and the
one who had the $40 license was
convicted and fined. $3.50 and
costs, totaling. $685. 90 for the
fiasco.
The graveman of the District
Attorney was that the sheriff
would get half the fines and
stated to Mr.. Thibodeaux that
he and I would perhaps divide.
That was kind of him indeed,
but that should not have made
him fail to prosecute. It is the
law, and had nothing to do with
the case, and the School Board
lost one hundred and twenty-five
dollars. | had nothing to gain
politically, as nine of the accused
are in his district and only two
in mine.
I do not criticize the court, but
I want the people Of this parish
to lay the blame where it be-
longs, and to feel that the game
of this parish can be deprecated
on by the people of other par
ishes who live 40 and so miles
away. A $500 license allows all
to hunt in the State, and a Soc
license in each parish and that is
all that is required. Parties can
not get a Soc license in but. one
parish, and that is the one in
which he resides.
This is simply the history Of
the case, and I leave it to the
public. Respectfully,
M. +. SWORDS.

Moves to krotz Springs.

The writer last week appreciated a call
from one of its old friends, George Matthias.
who informs me that he has moved from
Melville, where he resided for many years,
to Krotz Springs, the new town which is
fast springing up in the big woods, where
the Frisco crosses the Atchafalaya river.
Mr.. Matthias has opened a hotel in the
village and is prepared to entertain all Wis
itors to the new health and pleasure resort.
He tells us that the hunting and fishing is
fine, while the water of the famous deep
well is unsurpassed for both drinking and
medicinal purposes. The jewellers at Krotz
Springs hope to have their community in
.corporated as a village some time next year.
The railroad compan will erect a handsome
station soon, and at present there lisa large
force Of men at work repairing and rebuild
ing the many railroad ~trestles on each side
of the river. A postofice has been estab-
lished some time, while four stores are now
in operation. The United States Express
Company handles all light shipments into
and from the settlement. During the re-
markably high water of 1912, when much
country in the alluvial region was inundated.
Krotz Springs stood high and dry. Further
levee protection is now being afforded the
settlement by the extension of the big en-
bankments.
The soil in the entire surrounding coun-
try is just about the finest in the world,
from an agricultural standpoint, and the
vast open range affords finest free pastur-
age for inn1merable cattle.
AS remarked above, the fishing is splen-
did and Isaak Waltons are not confined to
the river in order to operate the barbed
hook, but can also seek the fnny tribe in
numerous bayous nearby where cats, buff
falos, COOS, perch and other scaly denizens
of the deep abide.
The writer wishes Mr.. Matthias much
success in his new home. X. K. X.

PAY NoIlRs Poll IAM NoWss

Pay your poll tax now! If you can't
do it now, pay it before December 31st, it
YOU care to vote. All men above twenty
one and under sixty years of age are re-
quested by Deputy Sheriff, A. L. Andrus,
to pay their poll tax as soon as possible, in
order to avoid the rush, when the last day
comes. Remember that all the voters IN
st. Landry can not pay their poll tax on the
same day. 1t requires. some time to col
lect all the poll taxes, and consequently the
sooner one pays his the better it is for him
and the deputy sheriff, as well.
The Congressional election will be here
next year, and it is to be hoped that every
citizen in political St. Landry will want to
vote, but unlesshis polltax is paid ne will
not have a voice as to- whom should be
chosen to represent the Seventh Congress
sional District of Louisiana at Washington,
ID. C. 55zs
Every year there are men who have
failed to pay their poll tax for the simple
reason because they waited until the last
moment, when there were scores OF people
waiting in line, ahead of them, to pay their
taxes. Naturally those who did not sue
coed to get their receipt before the time ap-
pointed by law feel disappointed because
they are refused a white mans privilege
the right to vote.
Be sure to pay your poll tax this week,
this month or any time you can, just 80 II
is as soon as you can, provided that you dc
not get there too late.

las 1T ALL.

The Eunice Star, whilst commenting on
an article which appeared in the Clarion of
November LIST, with reference to Captain
Stewart and Hon. Leon Haas, hints at the
fact that since Opelousas has all the repre-
sentatiyes from st. Landry in both houses
at Baton Rouge, this city has grabbed the
whole pie" Pei haps that is true, and still
it is doubtful. II the Eunice Star thinks
that people who represent this parish are
not competent enough to hold these posi-
tons. why does it not get some "moressc com
petent men, to run for these various posi-
tons?
