Fighting in the ph;IiupiHes,

Mrs. G.. e. Bouligny, wife OF the
well-kaown local photographer, is in
receipt of letter from her son, Parke
White. who is serving an enlistment
in the United States army as private
in Troop K of the 18th Cavalry, at
present stationed at Jolo, Philippine
Islands. Private Whites letter is
dated an. IS, 1905, and contains the
following interesting description of an
attack on rebel fort in the vicinity
of Jolo:
stAfter being twenty seven days in
the field, kicking and lighting and
starving, / have come back alive and
without any bullet holes in my skin. [
am sorry to say, however, that we lost
two of our comrades and had one
wounded. after a long, hard fight with
nary at o'clock a. N. We started for
the front with six pieces OF the 18th
Battery, two companies of infantry,
fifty marines and four troops of cav
airy under command of Major Scoot.
At 8 o'clock the same morning we
opened fire on the fort with the artil
lery and at O'Clock in the afternoon
we ceased firing and the cavalry made
a dash to enter the fort. We had to
cut through two big bamboo fences to
get at the wall. As we were coming
up one Of K troops priyates, William
O'Neal, got a bullet through the head
and was instantly killed, and while We
were cutting through the fence our sec
ond lieuten ant, j. w. Jewell. was shot
in the stomach and died in short
while from the effects of the wound.
AT the same time our corporal, whose
name is Morris, was shot through the
arm. At dusk we captured the fort
and found we had killed about two
hundred and fifty .niggers' in kind
of trench. When our lieutenant was
shotI was at his side and helped carry
him back of the firing line. Later We
buried both the officer and the private
al the same time.
sstOur troop was in the most exposed
position during the engagement and
the major said he considered US the
bravest troop on the grounds. We had
three prisoners to bring in; one tried
to get away and we had to kill him.
Out of the two hundred and fifty killed
in the fort, there were one hundred
and fifty women and children. After
dark we had to make lltters to carry
the. dead and wounded into camp,
about four miles further up in the
jungle. By the way, there were three
officers and four priyates wounded in
the other companies.
II felt kind Of strange when the first
few shots came along, but after a
while / did not mind it so much. y

Splendid Ticket Framed IN the
Only WAY.


The voters Of D0naldsonVille as
| sembled in open meeting at the
courthouse Thursday night and Sc
lected a corps of officers to direct the
destinies of the town for the ensuing
two years. The gathering was 2
representative one from all points OF
view, and the degree of interest mani
tested and harmony attained was
sufficient to prove beyond the shadow
of doubt that the mass meeting
method Of nomin ating candidates tor
municipal Offices is far and away the
best that has ever been tried in Don
aldsonville.
The ticket placed in the field is all
til at could be desired. It is composed
Of men who have the best interests OF
the community at heart and who Will
devote their utmost endeavor to adj
ministering the affairs of the town in
an honest and straightforward man
ner. The nominees stand pledged to
do all in their power toward securing
an extension of the Waterworks and
electric light systems, improving the
streets and sidewalks, aiding the
school board in its effort to erect a
new and modern high school building,
and promoting the advancement and
material we'll being Of the community
. i. II Nv.
tration conducted by such sterling
citizen and capable business man as
Charles Maurin, aided by his col
leagues of the council and the other
town officers, there is every reason to
believe that an era Of progress il in
store for Donaldsonville which is sure
to result in increased development and
prosperity.
Apart from the fact that the ticket
selected Thursday night is composed
Of such excellent material and IN
doubtedly represents the choice Of a
vast majority OF the voters OF Dom
aldsonville, The Chief is particularly
pleased at the result of the mass meet
ing, for the reason that this paper was
the first to advocate the selection OF
municipal officers in this manner and
urged upon the voters the manifold
advantages of an open mass-meeting
as compared to a primary election.
We feel assured that all who attended
the meeting are more than satisfied
with the result attained and will agree
with The Chief IN its assertion that no
better or more harmonious method
of framing ticket could have been
determined upon. There was no
.slate,n no cut-and dried arrange
ments, no domination by Clique OF
politicians. Every voter in attend
ance had a voice in the proceedings
and was enabled to do whatever in his
estimation seemed best calculated to
promote the up-building and advance
ment of the town and to exercise the
sovereign right Of an American citizen
ID choosing the officers entrusted with
the administratio Of the affairs of the
community Ia which he lives. The re-
suit cannot fail to be satisfactory.

Official Printing Prices.


The Chief has no reason for seeking
to evade any issue, past or present,
connected with the awards of the local
public printing contracts, and the
Daily Times manifestly miseonstrues
our attitude when it assumes the con-
trary. We have always been opposed
to cutthroat competition and in favor
Of the payment of fair prices for all
kinds of public printing, and there is
nothing inconsistent with this position
in our bid Of S4S for publishing the
| proceedings Of the school board for
the remainder of 1905.
For a number of years, when The
Chief had no local competitor and
could exact any price within reason
| for such work, it printed the school
| board s minutes and official notices
| for $50 a year, and that was the long
established rate for the service until d
| few years ago when partisan Demo
err attic board, without the slightest JUS
LITIGATION except the desire to increase
the income Of partisan Democra attic
| newspaper by donation from the
public school fund, awarded the print
ing to the favored organ at double the
former price, and that without giving
The Chief chance to submit bid.
By Offering to execute this contract
during eleven months of the current
year for S4s We simply sought to re-
store the previous rate for the work,
and fair, and at the same time save
TO the school fund the surplus OF
approximately $50 which was being
paid yearly to the official journal.
That we succeeded in this purpose is
to the credit and advantage of the
school board, which will have few I'M
friendly critics besides the disgruntled
Times because Of its action in award
ing the printing eontract to the lowest
and best bidder.
We have already briefly explained
the reasons that led to our bid of last
July TO do the police jury's printing a
year for $500. Information reached US
from source that we had every rea-
son to regard as authentic and relia-
Bile, that in pursuance Of its aVowed
intention TO inaugurate a paroehial add
ministration on strictly business and
economical lines, the police jury would
insist upon reduction in the parish
printers compens alton $500 a year
and this information was accompanied
by the positive declaration that the
police jury was pledged to award the
printing contract to the lowest bidder.
Under these circumstances we deemed
il useless to submit bid at the current
rate, and fixed upon $500 as Offering a
fair compensation for the amount Of
work to be performed, besides enabling
the police jury to carry its Wanted
policy into effect by giving out the
printing contract on purely business
principles and saving 500 year for
the parish treasury.
Our bid of $500 was not as low bv
s50 as the figure The II mes had
previously offered to accept for the
work when The Chief enjoyed the favor
