FOR CONGRESS. To the Voters of the Seventh Congressional District of Louisiana: I respectfully announce my candidacy for re-election as the Representative from the Seventh Congressional District of Louisiana. In the Sixtieth Congress of the United States, subject to the action of the I)emo cratic Primary to be held September 6, 1906. A. P. PUJO. LAND GRABBERS SEEM TO BE AFTER BLOOD MONEY. Although the many settlers in the State of Louisiana who acquired their land, their home, with McEnery Scrip and Confederate warrants won out in the Legislature and prevented one of the most shameless and disgraceful land grabs of modern times, it seems that the pirates who schemed to rob them at first don't intend to give up their nefarious purpose, and as they can't very well get the land, are at a fresh game to either make the set tlers default or exact from them blood money in the way of a com promise. A firm titled J. W. Freilsen & Co. is at the head of the sharks, and has taken steps to prevent the settlers from making their tender within one year, as provided by the Toomer law, which law defeated this same com pany's proposition to have the settlers declared by the Legislature usurpers and the land they occupied State land, and the State take their (Freil sen & Co's.) tender of $1.50 per acre as the first tender for 113,000 acres of land bought by McEnery Scrip and Confederate Warrants in this State. To do this, this firm has gone into Court, and the slow wheel of justice is depended on to worry out the poor settlers and force them to a compro mise. To meet this move, the settlers are organizing in the parishes having these lands, and we believe every parish in the State is involved. It is the purpose to fight these vampires, and to at least make them put up a bond of say $10 per acre, of, $1000,000 in all. It is felt that it is not pos sible that the law will favor these people to the extent of permittiug them to harass honest farmers and make faithful housewives lie on un easy pillows for years without them selves having to take any responsi bilities or undergo any risks. St. Landry parish is deeply involved in this controversy, having 8,830.26 acres of land paid with McEnery Scrip, and 2,324.45 acres with soldiers' war rants, with% her borders. Many of the settlers, no doubt, are unaware that the title to their homes is in question, and it would be prudent for them to begin an investigation, es pecially as they have but one year to in'which to make a tender to the State for their lands, after which it will be forfeited. Under the circum stances it would be the part of cau tion for our people to co-operate with the people of other parishes in this matter. Steps should be taken to procure from the State land office a complete list of the McEnery Scrip land in this parish. Over in Calcasieu parish one of the Representatives, Mr. Toomer, is quoted as saying: "The land office has agreed, at my request, to get up a list showing the names of all original entries with Mc Enery scrip, with the numbers and description of the lands so entered. When this is received here I will try and get the Police Jury to have these printed in circular form and in the official journal, so that the Calcasieu farmers and land owners can see just where they stand with regard to this. There are lots of people in this parish whose lands were originally covered by this McEnery scrip, who do not know it. I expect this list will be finished in about ten days, and after that I will try and have it ready for distribution just as soon as possible." The feeling against these heartless speculators is growing more intense1 all over the country, and it is not do ing the State of Louisiana any good at all, this fact that unscrupulous land grabbers are permitted to turn the whole State topsy-turvey. Some States have remedies for this species of cattle. Substantial "Argument." Opelousas, La., July 24th. 1906. Mr. Editor.-Herewith find my check for ten dollars payable to the Mayor of Opelousas. Be so kind as to turn over the same to him with in struction that he apply it towards paying the taxes of some of the de- i serving poor in this community, who I may not be able to meet the pro- 1 poed tax for sewerage and paved streets. 1 If some of the wealthy real estate t owners who are urging as opposition t to the taxes the inability of the poor people to pay the same will imitate my example, they will at once solve the problem. It will only take a few dollars to relieve the deserving poor from the payment of these taxes. I stated last evening I would pay my share of the tax, and I now pro pose to do so,-not for one year, but will annually contribute a similar amount towards relieving those poorer than myself--widows pre ferred. I pay a very small tax, but thank God, I am no mossback, and am always willing to help push the car of progress in this town and parish, -and that too without first inquiring "where do I come in?" Yours truly, GILBERT L. DUPRE. The best way to satisfy yourself that the plans of the proposed sewer age system embraces the entire old town is to go and see the map your self, in the Mayor's office. This map was made in 1902, and since then portions of the then old town have been built up, which we understand will be taken in also. At that time material for sewerage was over 20 per cent higher than it is now, and it was estimated that a system accord ing to those plans would cost $29, 000. Now with.the reduction of the price of material, and with the sur plus over the calculation, it can be considered an assured fact that even the then unsettled portions of town will have the system. The Board of Aldermen met last Monday evening and pledged itself to the extension and enlargement of all public utilities, redeemed the last waterworks and electric light coupon, and introduced a resolution to reduce the corporation tax to seven mills at the next regular' meeting, which is on Tuesday, August 7th. The law re quires that such action can only be taken at a regular meeting. Thus the tax will be 30 mills, instead of 41 mills (including the Colorado South ern tax of five mills,) and with the sewerage and paving tax will be 35 mills, 6 mills less than the present rate. The reductions are: State tax 1 mill, parish 2 mills, municipal 3 mills, water works and electric lights 5 mills, total 11 mills. Photo buttons, 25 cents up, at Carter's.

Of course there was "no political significance" in the popular Congressman's trip here-he came over to see "the boys," that's all. Candidate for Governor? Why, he is running for Congress right now, and he can't very well be a candidate for both offices at the same time. However, he is looking in fine health -in trim to run for almost anything. How the wealth of the South is growing may be estimated from the fact that the value of the cotton crop for the past five years exceeded by nearly $400,000,000 the entire pro duction of gold and silver in the world during that time. And this way only one of the great crops of this mighty republic. It is pleasing to know that the South has long since recover ed from the devastation of the civil war and was never so prosperous in all its history as right now.-Farmer indianapolis Indiana.
