There is an incident in the death
of Judge Tate and DR.. Afford
that is remarkable.
They had been close bosom
friends for seventy years, had
been workers together in temper
ance campaigns, and on every
subject that had for its object the
up.building Of the moral force of
the country and strange it is That
their lives should 60 out at al
most the same time,-only twelve
hours apart.
That the life of DR.. Afford
showed that he was fully aware
of the needs of his country to
make it great and prosperous,
was attested by his constant and
jealous advocacy Of the education
of it's boys and girls and he will
be rendered for the earnest and
strenuous efforts he made to in
still into the minds of the youth
of the country a love of knowl.
edge. He knows that no country
could be grea or happy without
education.
While not a politician in the
sence the word is generally
used. he took a deep interest in
all the public questions and in all
he showed an unapproachable
honesty Of purpose and consis-
tency in his beliefs. In 1888 he
was elected to the lower House of
the Legislature, and served dur
ing the term as chairman Of the
committee on Education. 1t was
during this term Of the Legisla
ture that there came before il a
question that created more eX-
element and aroused the political
elements of the state as it had not
been done since the days Of re
construction. 1t was the Louisi-
ana State Lottery Co., asking to
have their franchise renewed. It
was in vain that this we'll organ.
lied corporation tried all of it's
seduction and Establishments to
swerve him him from the path he
considered his duty or to compro.
mise him on his pronounced OPP.
position to gambling.
With this tern in the Legisla-
ture the only other office he held
was Superintendent of Education
for Washington Parish.
There was another trait in his
character that deserves mention.
In his long and intimate knowl,
edge Of the lives and habits of the
people, and the conditions on the
farm he saw how much drudgery,
how much unrequitted toll was
performed byLouisiana women on
the farm, and he deeply sympha-
thized with them and if he could
have been instrumental in re-
lieving them of their burdens he
would have considered it the
greatest achievement Of his life.
While he so highly appreciated
the happiness of congenial do
nestle life his own was unfortu
nate.
He was married on the 7th of
April to Miss Fannie Roberts to
whom he was deeply devoted.
