circle of relatives and Friends in
this community. just at what
hour he breathed his last, is not

not receiving a reply, she went to
his hed and discovered his life was

1848, and reared two sons and
two daughters, who survive him.
Reaching manhood he took up the
vocation of steamboatman and
soon won place with the South
ern Pacific Steamship lines as
master of one of their boats ply
ing between Morgan City and St.
Martinsville. He was engaged in
the steamboat, business for more
than thirty years. Some years
ago he resigned his position and
conducted a small mercantile store.
Later on his health became SO I'M.
paired that he followed other pur-
suits and at the time of his death
was employed by the City to SUI
perintend the CITY bridge. He
was lifelong member Of the
Knights of Pythias Order of New

Ralph Landry and Mrs. L. J. Har-
gis Of Galveston, Texas. The fu-
neral will be held from st. Pet

We are pleased to announce
that Road District No. Z in charge
of Messrs. Lionel Delcambre,
Homer Landry, Albert Delcambre,
Marcel Derouen and E. A. Nell
benny have commenced the con.
struction of the highway leading
from Salt Mine railroad branch
to the Village of Delcambre be-
yond Jefferson's Island. Some
excellent ditching and grading
has already been finished and it is
reported the road will be in per-
feet shape to receive the gravel
when it reaches its destination.
This Board has purchased large
tractor and ditcher which meets
every want of the Board in road
construction. This highway is one
of great importance to that sec.
ton Of the country and we hope
nothing will deter, or interfere
with its completion during the
next sixty days. This particular
stretch Of road has been in a de-
plorable condition for the entire
past winter, and aside from the
inconvenience and cost in wear
and tear to the users Of the road
there has been times when it was
impossible for the residents OF
that section to reach the Parish
seat. No highway should be a.
lowed to get into such shape that
the country people cannot come 10
the Court House to transact bust
ness and it is a consolation to
know that the country property
holders in that vicinity will soon
have as good a highway as they
could wish for. considering the
amount Of money to be expended.

MOST REMARKABLE
PUBLISHED STATEMENT.

One Of the most remarkable frank
published political statements we ever
saw, appeared last Sunday in the
Nashville Tennessean, giving the
status of political conditions in thir-
teen counties in Middle and East
Tennessee, covered last week by Gov
Roberts in his speaking tour. The ar
ticle was written by Charles B.
Forbes and was given from the "view-
point of "the man on the street" look
ing at actual conditions.
1t was frankly stated that in sew
eral counties Roberts had fight on
his hands-but in no instance is there
any probability of loss by Governor
Cox, while it is claimed that Hard
ing's speech in Chattanooga cost him
at least thousand votes. Harding's
attacks on Wilson were bitterly re-
sented and his patronizing air toward
the South turned the stomachs of
some who heard him. In Hamilton
county the labor vote threatened loss
to Roberts but is very largely in ia
vor of Cox.
In the town of Franklin alone nine
ty negro women registered and seven
ty-five in Pulaski-but in Pulaski
alone 800 white women have register
ed and there is strong effort to get
the women in the rural districts to go
to the polls.
In many counties there is still oppo-
sition to the Roberts tax law and to
suffrage-but with all that it is said
that Col. Taylor has done himself no
good at the places where he spoke,
for opposition to the tax law is prac-
tically the only charge Taylor has to
make against Roberts, which charge
is failing in effect since the state tax
rate was fixed at 26 cents. Mr.. Forbes
closes his article as follows:
Summing it all up, Cox will lead
Roberts with substantial figure in
Middle Tennessee. Roberts will not
get the full Democratic vote, but
neither will it go to Taylor. Many
Republicans who indorse Roberts tax
law and order record, will vote for
him. This is especially true in the
cities. 1t is one Of the strong cards
of his campaign.
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1920-10-29
STILL AFTER
PRESIDENT WILSON

Grant Matthews, clerk of the West
Tennessee Federal court, and y 1ady
from Chicago, were the Republicans
who enlightened the political heath
ems" in this neck of the woods dast
Friday, an unlucky day, we hope-for
them.
Official business prevented us from
attending the speaking, but we did
not grieve about that, for we mere ac-
quainted with the character of speech
made by Grant Matthews, since he in
suited every possible Democrat by a
speech made in Carroll county several
years ago.
1t seems from what we heard of
the speaking, that it is the mission of
Matthews to continue to caricature,
misrepresent and villify President
Wilson and to designate as "asses"
the experts who accompanied the
President on his trips to France to
represent this country at the YER
sailles peace table-for instance, Mr..
Matthews said the visit of the Presi-
dent to- Europe reminded him of the
visit of the Queen of Sheba to King
Solomon. The queen carried her
camels and asses-and President Will
son left his camels at home. Such
speeches as that of Grant Matthews
are calculated to breed disrespect for
the Chief Executive of this nation.
Matthews is a gifted man and might
put his talents to much more legiti-
mate use than delivering supposed
lronical and sarcastic TRADES against
the president and his wife-desiguat-
ing the President as Woody" and the
league Of nations as the "leg o. moth
ng." One who heard him at Decatur
vile on the same date tells us that
MS speech there was of the same
'haracter-and some thought he
made a fine speech and that his un- |
sentlemanly references to president |
we're funny. If President Wilson had
lied during the illness by which he
vas stricken, such orators as Grant
Matthews would have had no material
m which to make their splendid
peeches"-unless, indeed, they had
Mr.. Wilson beyond the
rave.
