BLACK JACK ISRAEL, THE
BOSS OF PLAQl E’.IINI
15V FRED C. WILLI VMS
Plaquemine, Louisiana, is situated
in Iberville parish, at the point wh re
the great government lock; connect,
the bayou that bears the name of i *
city with the mighty Mississippi riv e
This fact gives Plaquemine an advan
tage from the standpoint of watei -
way transportation, because Plat in -
mine bayou connects with Grand lake.
La Feuche bayou, Byrick bay, througl
Maimillion and Vermillion rivers th
great Tish bayou, connecting up ai
of the rich plantations both sugar and
rice, as well as cotton, and the rich
wooded section producing s ort teal,
and box. pine, spruce gum, p st oak
i live oak and the beautiful droopirg
cypress. From the limbs of these v.t
rious trees dangle long streamers of
gray moss, which in the moonlight, .
viewed from the deck of thp small
bayou steamers, os seen in the batons
skillfully sculled by a native, gave the
writer an impression of fairy land,
decked in its streamers of spangled |
I silver, Such is the country of the cen
1 tral figure of this story whom it i
i difficult to describe as the good point
of Joseph Israel of Plaquemine, Loui.—
; iana, are many and perhaps sonu
i might thing elusive.
He is hotel owner, saloon keeper,
I politician, laborer, agent and philan
thropist. He is a small man in
| stature, standing five and one half
i inches in height and weighing about
one hundred and five pounds. Ho hu.~
a soft, yet penetrating voice, sharp
nose, thin lips, rounded chin, small
forehead, small piercing black eye.-,
which have the peculiar habit of nor
' rowing to slits when Jack is studying
! a new advantage and twinkling bright
| ly when anything amusing is said
And as to his complexion, anyom
I who has seen him would say he is
I white, but if you ask Jack as t*
j what he is racially, he will alway
answer “black,” meaning that he
an American Negro, and he empha
; sizes the black, hence the name Mia i
Jack, which he accepts readily a* d •
without comment.
Every plantation owner, every log
ger, every swamper, every fishing
boat owner, every oyster dredger, * .
ery steamboat man, in search of laboi
always applies to “Black Jack.” Ev
ery man seeking help, sympathy
charity or a job applies to "Black
Jack.” He supplies the employe!
and makes nothing but verbal con
tracts, the main specification being
fair treatment and fair pay to th*
men. He is often called up* n to s* -
tie disagreements and grievan cs, * .
or imaginary, between both employe!
and employee.
In the little town where he re idis
and at the saloon which he operates,
during the course of a day, week,
month or year, he is visited 'oy rner
from every walk of life, and Solom t
like he gives out his decisions in ;
fair justice-loving manner.
He distributes his charity in :i
unostentatious way and claims nr
credit for doing so; and when called
a good man by some aged man oi
woman, whom he has helped or from
some appreciative man, who througl
Jack’s political “pull” is freed from
the courts, he will answer in that
inimitable way peculiar to himself:
“That’s nothing; anybody can do that
who has a mind to do so.”
Turning to me after pushing a : u
from the door who had ordered
third drink in less than fifteen min
utes, which is one of Jack’- most
stringent rules, as he never allows a
man to drink enough to get drunk in
his place, he said in his quaint and
yet most earnest manner: "If tha*
fellow had been a water-man 1 would
; have allowed him three drinks, a- it
J would take that much to get the damp
out of him, but as he is only a day
laborer, two was enough,” and the
men go away cursing him on!* to
come back the next day to thank h:m.
He sits quietly back and scan hi
paper, and now ami then cast ; :
quick glance to the bar, that eon*
n.ay violate his rules, while awaiting
the no::t visitor, wvich is never 1 ng,
for “B.a.-k Jack” directs the destiny
of many men and women in the com
munities along ihis great island wa
ter way, and s ome da) v. hen he s
missed from his usual seat in his cor
ner, by the old style desk, and the
word is whispered that Black Jack is
no more, all Plaijuemine will mourn
