THE JEANERETTE FAIR.

As stated several times in this
paper .Jeanerette is making ex-
tensige preparations for its Fair
which promises to be the best
of its kind eser held in this Sec
ton. Every section of this
Parish ought to be represented
there for it is probable that it
will be the one great attraction
in the fair line in the Southern
pat of the State.
10 give an idea of what has
already been secured for the
Fair the following taken from a
letter from Mr.. L. A. Greven-
berg, Secretary Of the Fair AS
sociation is reproduced:
"We have been very fortunate
to secure for the Fair a first
class list of exhibits in all the
several departments, i. e., Agri-
culture, Stock, Poultry, Wood
working, Machinery, the ladies
department, etc.
"Both the large buildings
erected will be filled and in ad-
ditlon to this we have secured
two large water proof tents 50
xIoo to accommodate any ex-
hibits for which we may not
have room in the buildings.
We will have an exhibit from
two music houses in N. O. and
several exhibits of pot plants
and flowers from N. O. horti-
culturlsts, besides the exhibits
of amateur plant and flower
growers of this section.
can exhibit of queen bees in
glass hives, showing the pro-
cess OF honey making from the
beginning to its bottled state.
"The Acadian Homespun
workers of the Teche, above
New Iberia, will also be on hand
with their looms in full opera
ton.
"Indian basket makers of
Charenton, La, will have
number of their men and women
at the Fair making these baskets
which is a very interesting sight
to those who have never had
the opportunity to witness their
handlwork.
"The exhibits of cattle and
live stock promise to number
many, and this show will be
worth any body's money.
"Our program of both run
ming and harness races will be
the very best.
owe will have baseball
game every day OF the Fair.

The RLAoUEMINE LOCKS.

New Orleans, Aug. 2o.-A
statement to the effect that an
accident had occurred to the
Plaquemine Locks of such Sc
rlouS nature that it was feared
the project would have TO be
abandoned, IS vigorously denied
by the United States engineers
in charge of the work.
The Donaldsonville Times in
recent issue stated that the
! parting of the massive iron
gates, due to a settling of the
concrete foundations, had cast
serious damper on the further
progress of construction.
At the office of the engineers
in the customhouse to-day, it
was declared that the character
OF the accident was not at all
OF serious nature and the fol-
lowing statement was given out
concerning the matter:
at is true that the settling OF
the foundations resulted in
crack in part of the work con-
structed, but it is not of such a
nature as to affect the undertak-
ing. Immediately after the ac-
cident, the engineers in charge
made careful survey of the in
jury and decided that it could
be easily repaired. This was
done by binding together the
broken parts with heavy bands
of steel, which has proven salts
factory in every way, and thu
work is progressing eadily,
without the slightest tear that
the mishap will cause any trou-
BILE.
at was due to the settling OF
the foundations, and did not
cause any great CONSERVATION
when it occurred. The engin-
eers saw at once there would be
no trouble IN remedying the
break and this they proceeded
to do without the smallest diff
Guilty. The abandonment OF
the project is the remotest pos
siblllty, and it is news to US to
learn that such thing was CEN
templated in any quarter"

THE CONDITION OF THE CROPS

Less rains, as whole, have
perhaps fallen in the sugar par
ishes this week than in the two
preceding ones, though this is
not to be taken to mean there
has been dearth of moisture,
for such was not the case, sew
sral excellent showers having
been noted during the week in
virtually the entire sugar region.
A holding out of high tempera
lures, combined with the show
cry weather prevailing, 60 to
make up ideal growing condi-
tions, and the cane seems to be
progressing almost by leaps and
bounds. Accordingly, as it ap
pears nothing can now head the
crop from giving an unusually
heavy return, our planters are
buslly engaging themselves com
pleting sugar house and general
plantation work preparatory to
rapid and safe harvest, there be-
ing but two months remaining
before the campaign will have
doubtless begun at number of
factories, though the greater part
of the planters will probably de-
eide on getting up steam not
until the last week in October,
unless we have unusually favor
able conditions for ripening the
cane the last half of September
Der and the first half OF October,
in which event we might count
on the majority OF mills to be-
gin operations close to the mid
die of October. Bearing in
mind, though, the disastrous
and unexpectedly early Novem-
Der freezes last grinding, and
the tremendous loss that would
result were such freeze to oc-
cur again this year about the
same time, what with so much
more cane for the mill, it will
not be surprising to find many
planters determined on the in
auguration of rolling the I4th
of October, disregardtul of the
sucrose content then not being
near SO good as it would likely
prove fortnight later.-Sugar

chance of winning out when he
comes before the people and
asks them for their votes the

Boys played joke at West

and a room had been provided
where ladies could leave their
babies, tagging them. The
boys changed the tags on babies,
after night, and some of the
tired mothers carried strange
babies home with them, only to
discover their mistake and be-
gin telephoning distractedly.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that the
the generally accepted limitation of hu-
man life is many years below the attain
ment possible with the advanced know
lege of which the race is now possessed.
The critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be between 80 and 60;
the proper care of the body during this
decade cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longevity.
Natures best helper after 30 is Electric
Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine that
revitalizes every organ of the body. Guar

THE COTTON SITUATION,

East Point, La, August 18th, 1907.
Hon. Harvie Jordan, Presi-
dant of the Southern Cotton
Association will soon visit
Louisiana to round up the affairs
of the Association and see where
we are at" 1t behooves every
man in the state whatever his
calling may be, to be up and
doing, if he expects to help to
keep up our prosperity, with
cotton in sight at I5c, and cot
ton seed demanding $50 per
ton If any man thinks he can
get Isc. for his cotton and $50,
for his seed, if the spinners and
mill men can buy them for 7 IL
per lb, $40 per ton, he had best
get guardian.
The opening gun was fired in
MarksviIIe, La, on the Sth, and
if the balance of the people will
emulate the good work done in
the Parish Of Avoyelles the cot
ton and cotton seed bears will
have to take trees, besides the
candidates for the House an4
Senate in Avoyelles pledged
themselves to support Bill to
prohibit Future Gambling in
Cotton and ETC., as has been and
is now practlced by the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, to
the most serious injury of the
State. While this looks like
politics it is not. 1t is business,
Georgia, Texas and all the
Southern States, except Louis
lana, Tennessee and Mississi ppi,
have enacted this law, and the
Southern Cotton Association
have been first and foremost In
demanding these reforms.
Louisiana has suffered more
from the future octopus than it
ever did from the old Louisiana
Lottery; If we expect to pros
per and maintain living prices
for our cotton and cotton sesd
we connot shut our eyes to the
skin gambling gambling game
practiced in the future business
OF the New Orleans Exchange.
~ 1t will take hard work and
some money to maintain this
Associatio~, and fight the Tro-
an Horse in our aempS. These
'Trojans' would heip'gs up, if
hey had bought cotton for 10,
md It was about to 60 for &c;
,r had they bought cotton seed
It $40 per ton, and it was about /
o go to Sc, fellow feeling
makes US all wondrous kind.
But if these "1'rojans' can buy
our cotton for 7c. and sell it for
SC. or our cotton seed for Sc,
ser ton and sell it for $50, they
will do it. They have tried it
before, and have many times
iucceeded on these and similar
ines.
Now | call upon the people
md the Press to strengthen our
ines by the time MIR. Jordan
lrrives, and lets give him
grand reception, and fire guns
n his honor, as Avoyelles Parish
las done, which will sound |
around the world.
