The deleg of Ascension teach
ers who attended the state teachers
convention at Alexandria Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week re-
turned to Donaldsonville en- the early
e. and 2. train Sunday morning. and
reported having enjoyed the trip to
the utmost and having been delight
fully entertained by the hospitable
people Of the Rapides metropolis. AS
cension had the honor of capturing
the banner offered to the parish whose
delegation covered the greatest num-
Der of miles in going to and returning
from the convention city, the thirty
eight teachers who went from this
parish having traversed little over
Il, 900 miles. The banner offered to the
parish sending the largest percentage
Of teachers in proportion TO the num-
Der employed was awarded to Webster,
Ascension having been q very close
second with thirty eight out Of forty
four teachers in attendance. Prof.
D. B. ShoWa1ter, Ascension's efficient
superintendent of education, was
unanimously reelected treasurer OF
the association, position he has
filled with marked ability for the past
several years. The banner captured
by the Ascension deleg alton is on ex-
hibition in one of the show windows
Of Comstock's stationery store in

pleasure in congratulating the school
board, the parish superintendent, the
teachers and the people of Ascension
generally on the splendid showing
made by this parish at the state con-
vention, and trusts hat there will be
no let-up in the effort to keep Aseen-
sion always in the front rank Of the
banner winning parishes Of the state.
r. N. Sims will leave next Monday
for Havana, Cuba, where he goes in
the interest of the Rice Association OF
America and the Texas and Louisi-
ana Rice Millers and Distributors
Association with the object Of urging
the passage of bill before the Cuban
congress providing for the admission
OF American rice into the island under
reduced tariff. Mr.. Sims made a
previous visit to the Cuban capital
some time ago with a similar pur-
pose in view, having remained in
Havana from the beginning of January
to the middle Of March. He was ac-
companied bye. @. Duson, Of Crowley,
and although action on the rice bill
was deferred by reason Of the adjourn
ment Of congress, the gentlemen were
quite confident that il the measure had
been brought to a vote it would have
been passed by handsome majority.
Mr.. Sims is probably better yersed the
conditions and needs of the Louisiana
and Texas rice industry than any other
man in either state, and the associa-
tions which have secured him to rep
resent them in the vital matter of Gu
ban legislation governing rice imports
into that country could have made no
better or wiser choice. Mr.. Sims has
been granted a leave of absence for
sixty days from his duties as a mem
Der of the board Of control of the
Louisiana state penitentiary, in order
tn at he might be at liberty to devote as
much time as is necess airy for the ac-
comphshment Of the purpose which is
taking him to Cuba.

The Democratic Committee will
meet in a few days to fix the time
and manner Of nominating a can
didate for State Senator from this,
the 18th Senatorial District, to be
voted for at the November cleo
ton 1905. In canvassing the dis
trict l ind the Democratic voters
are much interested in the election
Of United States Senators to sue
coed Senators Blackburn and Nc
Creary, both Of whose successors
will be elected during the term OF
office to which | aspire, and a
number of voters have requested
that | define my position, and
recognizing that the Democrats OF
this district have a right to know
how the vote Of their Senator will
be cast in these elections by the
General Assembly OF the State, as
we'll as on other questions that
may come before the body.
After a canvass of this district
| am convinced that majority OF
the Democrats desire the return OF
Senators J. c. S. Blackburn and
J. B. McCreary to the Senate OF
the United States, each to succeed
himself, and it being my desire
that there shall be no misunder-
standing Of my position on the
subject, / take this mode of pub
licly announcing that | will, if
nominated and elected State Sen
ator from this district, vote for
Senators Blackburn and McCreary,
