Official Journal of Washington Parish and the Town of Franklinton. VOLUME 3. WAN;;T.ON I JI, EI T FRANKLINTON, LA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1913. NUMBER 47 Morgan Home tor a Few Days. Congressman Lewis L. Morgan arrived in Covington Monday evening having been called from Washington on important mat ters connected with the suit of the parish involving the right to collect taxes on the Shore Line of the New Orleans Great North ern Railroad Company. amount ing to the sum of $30,000. The fact that Mr. Morgan was at torney for the parish before he was elected to Congress put him in possession of important infor mation that made his presence desirable. This information has made plain certain points un der discussion, and the parish is now ready to proceed with the case at once, and after the trans action of some business in hand Mr. Morgan will leave for Wash ington, probably on Monday. where he will pay tribute to the memory of the late Hon. Robert C. Wickliffe, February 23, in an address before the House. Mr. Morgan has made many friends while in Washing ton, and bids fair to become ong of the members of the House` He has been made a member of several important committees and is interesting himself in leg islation that will benefit the peo ple. Among the bills that he hast in preparation is one for the es I tabligbment of a bureau of mar kets in the Department of Agri culture. This measure is one of great importance to the farmer e and would make it much easier for him to market his produce and to realize a fair profit, as iti would cut out a lot of middle-men. b One of the secrets of Mr Mor gan's popularity is his scrupu- a lousshonesbty and fairness, and r this trait of his character has called forth favorable comment in a Collier's Weekly, in regard to r <s his recent vote in seating a mem ber of congress. in which he h sacrificed his natural inclination to party support, to his sense of justice and right. It is this trait of honesty that has won him so many friends here in hishome parish, and people here were so a glad to see hin that it was almost impossible to get a few momencs conversation with him.-St.Tam many Farmer. a Why Do You Scratcht Boyaline Totter Ointment will stop f' that ihohing or your money back. 50c. 60e.

The development to-day at Mer t ryville, while not of a sensational n nature, were of such a charac ter as to make it plain that the citizens of that place intended to take things in their own hands. The union headquarters were Svery quietly visited this morning f shortly after 11:30 o'clock, the effects of the Brotherhood of Timber Workers being gotten together and carefully packed and shipped to DeRidder, with the message that the business men and citizens of that place did not propose to stand for any more labor disturbances, intimi dation of men and coercion in an effort to shut down the big plant of the American Lumber Com pany, which refuses to unionize its forces by recognizing the brotherhood. H. 0. Lawrence and John Hill, two men who have t recently appeared at Merryville, were told to leave town immedi ately and not to return. Law rence has been conducting the soup kitchenl which the strikers have been maintaining in a tent for a number of months. There H wag no violence. The thirty or a forty men who took part in the t I movement were the leading citi- e zens of Merryville. They acted ° quietly and orderly, but firmly, 2 and with a fixed determinination s to put a stop to the conditions a which have demoralized business in that section for a number of * D months. Every piece of the tent I and all the contents were care- I: fully handled, and nota nickel's g worth of damage done. When I U the stuff was gotten together it v I was billed to its owner at De Rid- s der, where Hill and Lawrence a are reported to have gone, A a telephone message from Merry ville to-night was to the effect ( that all was quiet, and that no ~ further trouble was expected. E A special from DeRidder says: ( "Intense feeling exists h~ere over the attitude of the citizens of ' Merryville in making certain ) union men leave the city. Over " 200 men have recently come here v from Ludington, owing to the closing of the big mill at that 2 place. It is said that some of 2 the members of the Brotherhood I of Timber Workers have been " trying to get a number of men to a join a crowd to go to Merryville V to resent the actiozn of the citi- 1 zens' committee." it You Can Do It Per 35..

No immediate addi tional treshet is looked for and no other break. At Beulah the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad is Preparing to close the break as soon as the river is within its banks again, and a new levee may be ready there by the time the late rise comes. But becouse the situation has imoroved is no reason why there should be any cessation of activi; ty or any delay in the work done. Not a man should be taken from the levees, but the work should be rushed to completion and pro tection, whether the river talls now or not. We realize that much of the recent trouble and losses was due to delay, if not neglect carelessness, to a policy of procrastination, to not keeping the work well ahead of the flood. It is small excuse in such disas ters to explain afterwards that the high water was not expected as early as it came. A second mistake of this kind would be a crime. When the presentfresh et first started down the Ohio but little attention was paid to it. When the water rose in the Mis sissippi higher than was expect ed, and especially when the Beulah break accured, there was a rush for the levees, feverish activity prevailed and a large force of men was put at work. They should be kept at work un til. the levees are completed, whatever the flood prospects ahead may be. A $1.00 Bucket Fine Coffee for 75 cents. Robert Babington, Ltd. Mrs. Robert C.
