EN THUSIASTIC ANTI-DIVISION RALLY
AT ROANOKE.
Well Known Speakers Address an Ap
preciative Audience, Many Jennings
and Welsh Citizens Present.
The first, and possibly the only anti
division public speaking of the cam
paigne was held at Roanoke, Tuesday
evening. The school auditorium was
camfortably filled. There being sev
eral representatives from Jennings, a
goodly delegation from Welsh, and a
large percentage of the voting popula
tlon of Roanoke present. The meet
ing was opened by Mr. Booze.
The first speaker of the evening was
Dr. John H. Cooper, of Welsh, who
in his usual pleasing manner answer
ed a number of tihe allegations res
pecting the merits of division, that
are being made by the divisionists.
Further the Doctor dwelt at length on
the history of the division movement.
and the part that Welsh has played
in the same in the past, showing that I'
the present attitude of Welshbis entire
ly consistent with her past record.
Mr. Chas. Carr was the next speak
er. He produced a neatly colored
map showing the several proposed
parishes, and showed up the fallacy
of the oft repeated assertion that the
division is a "fair division, and a
and square division'' Mr. Carr
presented strong and telling
argument against the proposed
dismuemberment of tie parish.
Mr. W. B. Gabbert, who, from his
intimate knowledge of the working of
schools in this section of the parish,
is perhaps better informed on that
line than ally other individual, de
monstrated most clearly that a divis
ion of the parish would work serious
detriment to the etfficiency of the schools
of the parish.
Hon. L. E. Robinson, the last speak
er of the evening, by his wit, wisdom
and oratory won rounds of applause
from all present, not excepting the
division friends from Jennnings. Mr.
Robinson made the statement that he
came to this country a republican,
and had never entered a democratic
primary, hence could not be accused
of seeking political prelerment or the
emoluments of office in the preseut
campaign. te showed up as au~o
lutely false a number of asserltios
made or reputed to have been made
by the divisionists in their campaign
ing. He further presented a convinc
ing array of argument, facts and fig
ures showing that division would be
a most serious detriment to the tax
pavers of the parish, as well as a ser
ious inconvenieuce to a large part of
the inhabitants of the parish, who
would of, necessity oe serious5y in
conveuienceL in having to go to a
town on tle parisun ouundi' to attend
court duties.
In conclusion we believe that it is
a safe bet that after hearing both sides
of the question Itoanoke will give a
big majority against divison.

;ICE PLANTERS OLD ENTHUSIASTIC
MEETING.
Central Selling Agency Highly In
dorsed.-l)elegate Elected to
Crowley Meeting.
Pursuant to a call, issued by Pres.
W. B. Gabbert, a meeting of the rice
planters and others interested In the
rice industry, was held in the Audi
torium here Tuesday. About fifty
planters were present, and the pro
posed central selling agency was
thoroughly discussed, and heartily
endorsed by all present. The matter
of electing a delegate to the Crowley
meeting, to be held on the 5th inst.,
for the purpose of perfecting the pro
posed association, was taken up. Mr.
Gabbert was nominated, but after
thanking those preeent for the court
esy shown him, withdrew his name,
saying that he believed a more
capable man for the position
could be found. Mr. L. E. Robinson
was then nominated and unanimously
elected. He is one of the thirty-three
delegates provided for in the recent
meeting held at Beaumont, of which
Louisiana gets seventeen, Texas elev
en, Arkansas three and Mississippi
two.
The rice interests of this section,
feel sanguine of the success of the new
movement, feeling assured that the
rough rice market can quickly be put
upon a firm basis, if the farmers will
do their part toward the project. It
was shown that practically the same
movement had put the fruit growers
of California, and the bean and pota
to growers on an independent paying
basis, and it is believed it will prove
equally effective with the rice growers.
Early Frost and Ice.
This section of the state was visit
ed by an unusually early frost and
freeze this year. The weather turned
cold the latter part of last week with
the result that there was considerable
frost and nearly a sixteenth of an inch
of ice formed both Friday and Satur
day nights. While this early frost
has nipped vegetation to some extent
it has done no narticular damage,
either to fall gardens or pasture.
