Harry Glaspar, the colored man
who was cut while lying asleep in the
door of his cabin on the Wallis place,
during the night of the Goth inst, is
still alive, with cash nearly three
inches long in his skull through which
portions of his brain have oozed. He
can not recover, and it is remarkable
that he has fingered to this time. An,
imatiun is almost entirely suspended,
and the patient is in a constant state
of delirium when not under the influ-
enee of opiates. We have heard of
no further developments relative to
this case. After being cut, Glaspar
was able to say Henry did it; | saw
him run away" 1t was this, in con-
nection with the threats he had been
heard to make against Glaspar, which
led to the arrest of Henry Thomas.
In the grass near Glaspar's cabin was
seen the impression caused by the
body of the miscreant who had lain in
wait for q favorable opportunity to
wreak Il cowardly vengeance upon his
sleeping victim.

A serious charge is pending against
David White of the second ward, it
being no less than an alleged attempt
to poison Peter BATHS. Peter nearly
petered out from the dose of poison
which he swallowed, but he is better
now and will recover.

for the completion of the wharf by the

that he will be on time.

Old Jupiter Pluvius has been lib
eral with his favors this week, having
sent one or more showers every day,
with several steady rainfalls of many
hours duration by way of monotony.
The relief to the crops was timely, as
the extended drouth was causing con-
siderable uneasiness among planters.

On Thursday preliminary examina-
ton of two cases was made by Parish
Judge Maher. In the matter of the
State as. n. H. Wilson and David
Reed, Inspector and Assistant Inspec-
tor of Weights and Measures, charged
with extortion and oppression in Of
fee, Reed was discharged and Wilson
sent before the District Court.
The charge against Celestin Landry
of committing rape upon his own
daughter was partially examined and
the case continued for further hear
ing. Accused solemuly declared his
innocence, averring that the offense
had been committed by some other
person, who sought immunity by
charging it upon him. DR.. Claverie,
who attended the girl in his profess
sional capacity, testified that the al
legged crime had not been consumma-
ted, though there was ample evidence
of an attempt. The girl has wholly
recovered, the report of her death
published in a local journal last week
being conspicuously inexact."
A horse stealing case from the
eighth ward had been also fixed for
examination, but owing to an over
sight on the part of the Clerk, who
omitted to summon the accused, the
examination was postponed.
Sugar planters aud others informed
relative to the sugar producing capac-
ity of Ascension, one of the banner
parishes of the State, will be surprised
and amused by the solemn statement
of a paper published here that the
crop of this parish last season was
1866 hogsheads, making it the niuth
on the list in the order of production.
The crops of Messrs. Burnside and
Kenner alone exceeded these figures.
In 1856 the crop of Ascension was
lisa hhds. sugar and $3.50 bbls.
molasses, making it the third parish
in point of sugar production, and the
first in molasses. Assumption took
the lead in sugar, st. Mary being sec
ond, with Ascension only 126 hhds.
behind her and 1923 bbls. of molasses
ahead. We have not the figures for
last season at hand, but the crop was
greater than that of the previous
year and Ascension again held third
place. Having partially recovered
from the effects of velhow, St. Mary
resumed her ancient position at the
head of the list, Assumption making
Il good second, with Ascension closely
following. This year we have hopes
that our parish will forge up to second
place, as the acreage of cane has been
increased and the staple is generally
in prime condition.

In all country towns, and especially
those situated within such easy reach
of a great commercial centre and sup
ply depot as is Donaldsonville, the
class of persons known as drum
mers p" are regarded with little favor
by the local merchants and business
men, for the reason that they are be-
lieved to divert considerable trade
from home establishments. This pre-
judice, if We may Sc term it, found
expression here in the imposition by
the Town Council of license tax of
$25 upon drummers pursuing their
business within the corporate limits,
and there is no doubt that among
large and influential class of citizens
the impost is regarded with favor.
But to this, like all other questions,
there are two sides, and the follow
ing communication tersely presents
one of them:
NEW ORLEANS, July "a, 1917.
Editor of DonaIdsonville CHIEF:
Dear Sii'-I am a New Orleans drummer,
representing one of the largest firms i'll our
city. | visit your town every sixty days for
the purpose of selling some goods to my
customers there. On my last visit there my
stable bill with Mr.. Mitchell was $50, and
my hotel and incidental expenses were SIS.
Since then heard that your Town Council
or your Police jury had determined to charge
every drummer a license of SIS for the priv
iIege of offering their services to their pat
rons. The merchants, hotel keepers, stables
and bar rooms are going to be the only suf-
fercrs the drlmmers will only stop in your
town to get lunch or dinner. and instead
of leaving So there, they will only leave
about 81 So You can travel all through
Texas and all Western, southern or Eastern
cities and you will never hear of such a thing.
Hoping you will give his place III your
valuable paper. remain, yours truly,
ONLY a DRUMMER.

Our neighbor at the corner, Mr..
Chris. Kline, will accept our thanks
for courtesies extended--one of these
in the shape of peach grown in his

flavor was ne plus ultra. Some of the
peaches plucked from Mr.. kline's
trees weighed uine ounces each.

Rev. C. w. Hilton and family left
here on Thursday of last week to take
mp their residence for the summer,
and chaps Longer, a the fave I tie sea-
side resort, Biloxi, Miss. Mr.. Hilton
has long been afflicted with a chronic
nervous affection, accompanied by
partial paralysis, and felt his strength
gradually deserving him, until he be-
came so feeble as to be scarcely more
than able to walk about town. His
medical adviser directed change of
air, and the delightful sea breezes of
Biloxi were naturally suggested. May
they prove panacea for the bodily
ills of the afflicted pastor whose con-
gregatien and other friends here
would be reioiced to learn of his res
toration to health and strength.

The official proceedings of the Po-
lice Jury at the adjourned meeting of
Tuesday last, appear elsewhere in to-
days CHIEF. The road and levee or
dinances proposed at the previous
session were adopted with several
slight amendments, and levee syndics
and road masters selected to carry
out the provisions of the enactments.
AS matter of general interest, and
for the concise information of our
readers, we shall next week publish
these ordinances as amended. After
the transaction of other routine bust
ness the Jury adjourned to next regu-
lar meeting day, which is the first
Monday of October.

The match game of base ball I" for
silver cup" came off between the
Excelsiors of Donaldsonville and a
club accompanying the colored excur-
sionists from New Orleans to this
place, Saturday before last. AS in
the previous instance, the home boys
whacked their city competitors in
artistic style, the score standing 20
to IL in the game of six innings. 1t
may be remarked incidentally, how
ever, that the silver cup advertised
as a prize on the posters of the ex
cursionists was left to the imagination
of the victors, and didn't put in any
more substantial appearance.
