Pretty Slick, But 1t Failed.

CONNIE lie cochon de Bazus, on

Such was the result OF pretty
slick little game that was made
Monday by the outside politicians.
better qualified as the bursted
ring, in order to capture the pa
IRISH treasuryship which is now
held by Mr.. J. G. Bienvenu.
1t appears that under the new
law the parish treasurer is ap-
pointed for only two years and
when a move was made to have
Mr.. J. o. Bourdier appointed to
that Office. President ]. L. Du-
crest asked for few minutes re-
cess in order to seek legal advise,
aud during his absence the jury
illegally appointed a president
protein, and elected Mr.. j. o.
BOurdier treasurer.
When President Ducrest return
ed to the meeting he rightly re-
monstrated and objected to such
Illegal proceeding, which was an
insult to the presiding officer. and
when the meeting was recalled to
order BY the President of the jury
a motion was legally made to re-
appoint Mr.. ]. c. Bienvenu trea-
surer, which resulted in his reap
poinsment. Resweber, Kidder and
Ducrest voted for, Bourque, Lar
son and Pellerin voting against,
making tie, President Ducrest
voted as President, e!ectiDg Bien-
yenu.
There was quite an amount OF
iubilatiou 10 the camp Of Bour-
der for G. while, as they thought
that that little illegal trick would
stand, but when their enterprisine
and shrewd candidate was defeated
their Joyous faces of few minutes
before were transformed to look
quite differently.

the Juniors of that town who had
been defeated here some time ago,
it being agreed that the two Ju-
nior clubs were to cross bats, but
when they got to Abbevills. they
discovered the fact that the Ahbe-
vile Juniors wanted to play two
men, and professionals. which our
boys objected to, ard as the Able
vile boys insisted upon playing
the two professionals, even when
barred ont BY the umpire, the st.
Martin Juniors left the field, they
had agreed to play the Junior
club, but not with club reinfor-
ced by professional men.
The boys say they met some
very nice people in Abbeville who
treateu them very nicely, but the
club failed to trsat them in the
same manner az 'ths Abbeville
boys we're treated here.
1t was agreed besweeA them that
the visited town paid the expenses
of the visitors, the st. Martin boys
paid the expenses Of the Abbeville

would have strong Independent
faction forming in the state to OPP

creasing to enormous proportions.
The first move of q serious ma
ture in this direction comes from
st. Francisville, Parish of East
Feliciana. and at the heed of this
move we find men of the highest
standard in the political affairs of
the State.

adopted az follows:

Exaggerated Reports.

Some people and some planters
often make exaggerated reports OF
the condition of crops, In the dill
ferent localities, which very often,
have a demorslizing effect upon
the market of these crops, and
have tendency Ia keep the price
down.
Some people some time have
some interest in having such mis-
leading reports made in order TO
keep the market in weak state,
which always result against the
planter.
Some reports have been made
from tbs3ennings section, which
caused Messrs. A. Conrad q Sons
fo.write to The Times Democrat
IA fcllows:
- ST. Mart;nyiile. La. July 30, 1902.
y the editor Of The TImes-Democrst:
We notice a speeia. ia your paper OF
the 30th instant. stating thar the rice
crop at Jennings was greatly improved
by the late showers and that the yield
would be from eight to ten sacks. We
want 10 say that The one who wrote IL
cau4ot be rice planter. because We are
planters, and We had all the water that
our rice needed, and it lid not suffer for
want u anything We are harvesting
Just new and getting twelve sacks from
our best rice, which was planted in
February and March. and expect 70 get
seven sacks from our May rice. which
will make and harvest about eight to
ten sacks. This il what We expect from
$500 acres. IL Jennings can stand a
dr0uih Of about ninety DAYS with salt
water In her rivers aud make a crop
from eight p ten sacks, the planters on
the Teche might do well to get together
and go 10 Jennings to raise rics. We
don't see why some people that don't
know anything about the rice croD. want
write about it, Leave this matter 10 a
planter and he will not hurt his market.
A. CONRAD & SONS.
The Messrs. Conrad have as fine
o crop to look upon as there is in
thie section, aud if their best rice
ia yielding only twelve sacks to
the acre. it is not reasonable to f.
CURE that the fine looking rice of
other farmers will go much be-
yond this yield, and we may con-
sequeDtiy look for much shorter
crop than was expected from the
the fine appearance of the crop.
Harvesting is in full blast now,
and 10 the course of few days
when threshing will be general,
we will be able to obtain accurate
~ the yield of this section.
From all lnnlcatIons, We beiIeve
We can safely say that the yield
will not be as large as it was last
year.
In view of this fact, and the real
shortage in the crop of the Grow
ley section and Texas. the rice
should command a firm price, aud
the planters should not be too
quick in rushing their crops to
the market. They had better ship
or sell in small lots if market is
firm or hold on to it for good
prices which are sure to come, a
short crop always means good

CRACK AMATEUR MINSTRELS.
High Praise for David Ovens Clever
Work at Saco.

David Owen, resident manager of the
Augusta Opera house and one of the
cleverest men in amateur theatricalS
hereaboutS took part in a minstrel
production which was given in Saco
under the auspices of the Unitarian
church, by Mr.. and Mrs. L. j. Roden-
baugh, who are well known in this city.
Mr.. Owen was one of the end men and
one each of the two nights scored the
biggest sort of hit.
The Biddeford Record had this to
say of Mr.. Ovens acting:
David owen of Augusta. who is man
ager of the Opera house in the Capital
city, was the next end man to ''crack"
a few for the benefit of the audience.
David. in the words of the interlocu-
tor. is all right, and made favorable
impression. on this his first appearance
before local audience. He is rated as
one of the best amateur minstrel men
in the state and is thoroughly at home
before the footlights. He sprung n
number about his mother-in-law. and
concluded with the story about the
Englishman who was In Bar Harbor
| last summer
Nothing in this country would COM
| pare in size with that raised in Eng
| land. Finally David. who was kind Of
| a -of-al l-work about the hosiery,
got mad and one day found a swapping
| turtle which he placed in the bed of
the man from across the pond. Late
| that evening. there was a terrible com
motion in the room and David rushed
to the apartment to find the turtle
stuck fast to the Englishman's big toe.
What the devil is that?" shouted
John Bull.
Nothing but a Biddeford bed bug.
Have YOU got 'em twice as large in
| England?" asked David as he left the
| room.
| David Owen sang ANY Old Place
Can Hang My Hat" which was one of
the hits of the evening. He was obliged
| to respond to an encore.
In its report of the performance the
| Biddeford Journal said:
| David owens solo. amy Old Place
| Where I Hang My Hat" was one of
| the best things ever seen on the local
stage and was up in the line of profess
sional work.
