Several fights were made before the legislature for the creation of a new parish. This continued, led by Jennings and opposed by every other section of the parish. This continued until in 1910, when other sections of Calcasieu having also developed, began to want to be separated, and the legislature submitted a proposition to the voters of the parish to divide Calcasieu into four, but not withstanding the proposition received a very substantial vote, the majority jeered against it.
