LEWIS MAKES A
STATEMENT
(Continued from page 1)
$2.00 to get same carried into build
ings where booth was located. Said
booth was 75 yards from where wag
ons stop and I could not handle some
of the boxes myself and as help was
scarce 1 had to spay this or let it
alone. I also had to buy my own
lumber to fix up booth and all cloth
and decorations, also nails, ta'..s,
hammer, etc., and do all work. I
am not a rich man or I would not.
be on this- job, and as I was over
there with only a few dollars I just
did the best I could and have no
apologies to make on this score. I
have since been compljmented on my
feeiile efforts by some in spite of the
hammering of others.
Now, the reason all parties d:d
not share in the prizes as 'indivwdu
als was because I was not there on
the grounds every doy of the fair.
Why was I not theretli Every one
knows it costs money to stay in the
city of New Orleans. The exhibil.
were not judged all in one day as
our little fair was. The judgin4
was not finished till Saturday morn
ing, November 17, after the fair had
opened one week before, on the 10th.
To get justice to our exhibits I
should have 'been right at the bo,s)'
and when the judges called for each
article, if I had any in my booth,
take it up to the counter, have :t
judged and place same 'back where
it belonged in my booth. This kind
of business went on for. tour con
secutive days and I was not there.
Why? WhQ in the world is it that
will pull the money out of his pocktt
and stay in the city a week for a
thing so uncertain as prize winning
i a big fair, and a thing of public
interest, too? I did not have the
four dollars a day to spend hal I
wanted to-and it will cost that
MIuch to live in New Orleans.
Did any one come to me and say
that in case I needed money to make
our booth shine or to stay with it: to
call on them? No. I am out of
my own :pockets the sum of $21.00
on this exhibit and would have been
more, but Mr. Warner ordered sonme
other expenses paid, amounting to
$13.00. Now let the author of the
article place himself in my shoes
and think, 'what would you have
done? Let him also think how much
space he spent in advertising or talk
ing up this exhibit. Oh yes, after it
was all over it is easy to blame some
one, but let every one say to them
Aelves, what did you do to help it
along? The only thing I am sorry
for is the name it gave this parisb
and also that the 'ladies above men
tioned did not get to have their
splendid canned goods judged, for
they were fine. As for the balance,
I am not sorry, for I did all the bal
ance myself, and in that case I am
disappointed. Let those who live In
glass houses not throw stones. It
is a fact that it is easy to knock but
hard to do the very things that the
knocking is done over. I think th.
article was/hasty and not looked into
before hand. But let same be. As
for .the potato house, where is in
man who tried to get in same with
p:otatoes? I advertised that I would
be on hand on a certain week to
receive potatoes and no one cam?.
All farmers found out that they
could get good prices for their p3
tatoes and what was the use of using
the potato kiln. That is the reason
why no potatoes 'were placed in the
kiln. Did any one help to boost
this? No. I did. I have nothing
more to do or say than this. I have
done my duty as far as trying to get
the potatoes is concerned.
Let the author of this article try
to buy potatoes enough to ill the
kiln and see how he will come out.
Good Iprices will have to 'be paid to
'get them. Am I to blame for the
dry weather and the short crop?
No; complain to He who knows you.
On the 'whole I think as well as many
of my friends that this editorial
could have Ibeen left off or put in a
milder form. If this does not ex
plain my standpoint in the famous
inefficiency case, why I will better do
so in person.
I might say that the parishes mak
ing such a good show had spent any
where from $150 to $300 in getting
up the exhibit and in paying way of
agent to New Orleans to put up stuff
and make a good display. How
much did I have? Nothing. Even
at that, this parish had a better ex
hibit than East Baton Rouge, a par
ish in which our State capitol is lo
oated and one much richer agricul
turally than this parish. The man
using the hammer did not notice
this. Others did. "Do unto others
as you would have others do unto
you."
Mly resignation will be found in
another column.
IBest wishes to all.
CHAMBERLAIN'S TABLETS.
Chamberlain's 'ablets are intend
ed especially for stomach trouble:,
biliousness and constipation, and
have met with much success in the
treatment of those diseases. People
who have suffered for years with
stomach trouble and have been un
able to obtain any permanent relief,
have 'been completely cured by the
use of these tablets. Chamberlain's
Tablets are also of great value for
biliousness. Chronic constipat ion
may be permanently cured by tak
ing Chamberlain's Tablets and ob
serving the plain printed direct'ons
with each bottle.

The Navy Department has au
thorized the recruiting officer to fur
nish transportation, on request of a
postmaster, to an applicant for en
listment in the Navy. This trans
portation is from a man's home to
the Navy Recruiting Station, 730
Common Street, New Orleans, La.
A physical examination by a local
physician approved 'by the postmast
er is necessary.
If the applicant passes this phy
sician's examination successfully, the
Olled out and signed blank is to be
mailed to the Navy Recruiting Ot11
cer, by the postmaster, with the re
quest for transportation to New Or
leans.
It is hoped that furnishing trans
portation will entole many young
men to join the Navy who otherwise
would not be able to personally dea
a Navy Recruiting Officer.
This physical examination by a
local doctor is tentative. The final
acceptance examination is ggde only
at the Navy Recruiting Station, 730
Common street, New Orleans. Ap
plicants who fail in New Orleans will
