Daniel c. Picard.

The following interesting item from
the Louisiana Pelican, a breezy little
magazine published by the pupils OF
the Louisiana State Asylum for the
Deaf and Dumb, will be read with in
terest by the many friends in this COM
munity of the talented young gentle
man to who it refers:
The most prominent of our gradu-
ates is Mr.. Daniel c. Picard, formerly
of Dutchtown, Ascension parish, but
now OF Atlanta. Georgia. After grad
uating from this school, he took
course in Gallaudet College and
finished with one of the finest records
ever passed by student of that only
college for the deaf in the world, grad
aating with the degree of Bachelor
Of Arts. He then went to the Massa-
Institute of Technology to
AXE a special course in chemistry.
and graduated with a record worthy
II any man who can hear. He is at
present doing a lucrative business of /
lis own, analyziug cotton seed for oil /
nils around Atlanta, Georgia.

The final report of the grand jury impaneled
at the pending term of district court was read,
particular attention being paid to that portion
of the document which stated that the court
house and the vault in the clerks office are in
need of repairs, that frepreof vault should be
placed in the treasurer's Office, and that the
grounds are sadly in need of attention and the
parish prisoners could be utilized to great adj
vantage in making them an attractive spot the
grand jury further declaring that as these recon-
mendations had been made before and no at
tention had been paid to them. they felt some
hesitancy in again making them for fear of Of
tending the police jury.
To this the committee courthouse repairs
offered the following reply. which was unani-
mously endorsed by the police jury: The police
jury, being public servants, have no fear of crit
eism and of being offended, and beg to acknowl.
edge receipt of the report. The chairman of this
committee L. w. Armitage, reports that he has
contracted for the construction of fireproof
vault in the parish treasurers Office at cost OF
$3.50, and the work will be begun as early as pos
sible. As regards the grounds surrounding the
courthouse, the sheriff, being the custodian Of
the courthouse should see about the orderly
things Whereabouts, and call upon the city Of
fcers and request the enforcement of the ordi-
nance prohibiting the roaming of stock at large.
The jury adjourned.

SULPHUR in Molasses.

Assurances have been given BY Sec
rotary Wilson of the department OF
agriculture thai the use of sulphur by
the Louisiana cane growers in the
Qualification of molasses will not be
| interfered with so far as the crop of
1908 is concerned. Mr.. Wilson ex-
plains that the board of consulting ex-
perts will not be able to finish its in
vestigation of the wholesomeness of
the present process for some months.
| He has therefore deemed it only fair
| to permit the marketing of the 1908
/ product under the conditions now
prevailing, which require that.the con-
tanners OF molasses and syrups so
treated shall be branded with the no.
tice that the product "contains sui
phur dioxide."
This arrangement will no doubt
prove entirely satisfactory to the
Louisiana planters and manufacturers,
who have manifested an admirable
spirit OF fairness throughout the in
Vestig alton. They have placed every
facility at the disposal of the experts
detailed to determine the effects of the
use OF the sulphur process and some
time ago were instrumental in securing
the actual test conducted by physicians
upon volunteers among the parish
prisoners. The honesty and manifest
good faith of the Louisianians have
evidently impressed Secretary Wilson
faVorably and his decision not to in
terfere with the marketing of the 1908
crop pending final settlement of the
question indicates his desire to deal
with the subject with equal fairness
and justice.
Incidentally it may be reasonably in
ferred from his action that the consult
ing experts have, after months of in
Vestigation, found no markedly dele
terious effects from the use of the mo.
lasses manufactured by the present
process, and it may therefore be con-
fdently hoped that its wholesomere ss,
which has been fairy we'll established
by the practical tests made and the ex.
perience of thousands of consumers,
will eventually be officially affirmed. |
