/ its business In the state, however,
only one company has qualified to do
business in the state, and the others
are engaged in controversy with the
insurance department as to the proper
Interpretation of the rules of super
vision.
Commissioner Henry has ruled that
inter-insurance concerns must not
only furnish him with statements
showing the volume and character of
their business in Mississippi, but must
also submit reports on the volume
and character of business in other
states. The companies have thus far
with one exception, refused to COM
ply with this requirement, and Com
missioner Henry is Standing pat"
awaiting developments.
While no steps with this end in
view have been taken, it is expected
that the inter-insurance companies
now barred from operating in Missis-
sippi will institute mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel Commissioner
Henry to issue them license. If this
course is taken it will ultimately bring
squarely before the supreme court the
constitutionality of the inter-insur-
ance law, a test that the insurance
department is very anxious to secure.
II the inter-insurance concerns
maintain passive attitude, Commits
sioner Henry will take the initiative
and start proceedings to test the con-
stitutionality of the new statutes. 1t
is thus apparent that, in any event,
the new law must run the gauntlet
through the courts.
One of the strongest and most active
opponents of the inter-insurance sys-
tenn is Col. H. M. Street, the venera-
bic speaker of the lower house of the
legislature and defeated the initial
passage of the bill by refusing to at
tach his signature thereto, contending
that the measure was not properly
before the legislature, as it had not
been specifically recommended by the
governor. The inter-insurance advo-
Gates then had to commence their
work all over again, secured a guber-

TRIED ON CHARGE OF
SHORT WEIGHING BUTTER


New York, June 23.-Loton Horton,
president, and Benjamin s. Halsey,
vice-president of big milk and cream
cry company which controls large
part of the trade in New York and ad-
jacent cities will be given hearing
today on the charge of selling short
weight packages of butter. The ac-
cused men pleaded not guilty.
The men were arrested on warrants
issued on application of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Elder, who presented an
affidavit sworn to by Lee J. Mills, a
weigher in the Bureau of Weights and
Measures. Mills alleges that on May
16 he purchased a package of butter
supposed to contain two pounds from
the company and discovered it was
three and one half ounces below
weight.
Horton, HaIsey and the corporation
itself, which is one of the largest dis
tributors of dairy products in the city,
are accused of "wilfully and unlaw-
fully" defrauding him and of misrep-
resenting the quantity of butter which
ne purchased. Mills says the butter
was in a pasteboard container that
weighed three and one-half ounces,
and that the cover of the box was its
heaviest part. The cover weighed two
ounces, he says.
In preliminary hearing held last
month the dairy men said the butter
was put in the boxes without being
weighed. Halsey said the company
was not guilty of fraud, as the boxes
contained no statement of the guam
tity of butter they were supposed to
contain.
Under the law the defendants, on
conviction, may be sentenced to one
year in prison and fined $500 for each
offense.

but he bore this great misfortune to him
self and his Pensioners with heroic forth
tude, and Immediately went to work to
repair the disaster. With the valuable
assistance of his generous Pensioners he
rebuilt the church on the site where it
/ formerly stood, then set about to raise
funds with which to pay the cost. But
the destruction of the church did not
cause cessation Of religious services in
that parish: from the time that the edifice
was blown down to the time of its re-
construction, a period of several weeks,
mass was said and the other services of
the church were conducted in the school
house adjourning the church. and these
were always attended by the faithful.
The people of Smoke Bend are devoted
to their church and always take a deep
interest in its welfare. They have taken
hold of the fair which opened today with
the same energy which characterized their
efforts in the past and are determined
that it shall be a success. The Catholic
ladies of Smoke Bend, to whose efforts the
magnificent success of the church fairs at
that place in the past have in a large
measure been due, have been working as
sidiously for some time past making prep
arations for the event They have made
the usual canvass, soliciting contributions

other articles usually sold at fairs, and
have met with flattering success. The
various booths have been decorated with
the same neatness and taste as in the
past, and the charming matrons and the
attractive bellies of Smoke Bend viii be in
charge OF these booths and tables, dis
pensing delicious refreshments to the
patrons of the fair with deft hands and in
a most graceful manner, while the men
will give every assistance in their power
to make the affair success. The whole
of Smoke Bend will turn out on the occa-
sion and contribute his and her mite to
the success of the event, while large
delegation from Donaldsonville will also
be on hand to assist their neighbors
Father Gardes is an active. energetic
and hard-working man, beloved by all his
parishioners and popular even beyond the
confines of his own parish The purpose
for which he is giving this fair is a very
deserving one, which fact is fully ap-
preciated by everyone. and it is needless
to predict that it win prove gratifying
financial success and that the amount Of
funds realized will go long way towards
the church debt.

Smoke Bend Fair.

The three days fair, given for the bene-
fit of the Smoke Bend Catholic church,
will open on the church grounds at 5
o'clock this evening and will continue un-
til Monday night. The fair is given for
the purpose of raising funds with which
to pay the cost of rebuilding the church
which was blown down by the storm last
September. The church, which was a
small wooden structure. was completely
demolished by the storm, and it became
necessary to reconstruct the edifce from
bottom to top. The great disaster coming
as did so closely upon the caving in of
the leVee at that point, which neeessitated
the building of another levee and the
moving of the church fully 800 feet at
considerable expense, might have daunted

Joint Meeting of Fred N. Ogden Camp. U
c. v. and Bullion Chapter, U. D. c.

~
A very enthusiastic meeting of Fred N
Ogden Camp No. 247, u. C. ", was held
in Settoon Hall at Gonzales on Saturday
the 3rd inst. The majority of the veterans
of the camp were present and several Wis
itors from other camps were in attendance.
The meeting was called to order by
Commander Sylvanie Gautreau, who called
upon Representative Jos. Gonzales to pre-
side. Mr.. Gonzales payed a glowing tri-
butte to the heroes of the south" He
made an appeal to the voters to give their
earnest support to the Butler amendment
providing an additional taxation of one
fifth of mill for the purpose of supple
menting the appropriation already made
pensioning the old soldiers. He also com
plimented Mrs. Anna Bullion Babin, state
organizer, upon the great amount of work
aud good she has accomplished and the
interest she has aroused among the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
Delegates to the state convention to be
held at Opelousas Sept. %. 20 and 80 were
nominated and elected as follows: Louis
Guedry, w. P. Dixon and P. H. Fairbanks,
delegates; Misses Geneva Brown and Alma
Leblanc, maids of honor; Miss Beatrice
Gonzales, sponsor, and Mrs. Anna Bullion
Babin, chaperon.
Music was furnished by the Gonzales
Silver Cornet Band and very interesting
program was carried out, as follows:

Mrs. Babin delivered a most interesting
address to the old veterans and the
daughters of Bullion Chapter This was
the beginning of an active campaign Mrs.
Babin will make throughout the state to-
wards organizing and melting an increase
of interest among the daughters. She
made an earnest appeal to the daughters
to rally to the great work that is being
DONE
Resolutions were offered by Commander
Gautreau as follows:

Marketing Our Corn cron.

According to Government statistics.
Louisiana sold last year more than TO-
100000 bushels of corn, the most of which
went to Texas. This year Texas makes a
large corn crop. and, therefore, Louisiana
corn will have to find another market
There are reasons to believe that all other
| states are increasing their output of this
cereal, and if Louisiana has corn to sell it
will have to 60 to Europe The demands
Of the European market are more exaeting
than those of neighboring states. While
a large amount of corn was shipped to
Texas in the ear, such corn will have to be
shelled if it is to be exported. The foreign
market is not open to unshelled corn. It
seems, therefore. matter of great inn
portance that every community which
will have corn to be placed on the general
market should be provided with corn
shelter. There are reasons to believe that
unless a great many shelters are installed
IN different sections of the state there will
be serious inconvenience and congestion
in the handling of corn. 1t is needless to
say that, before installing shelter. one
should know approximately how much
corn he win be able to control Farmers
must not expect to be able to dispose of
their unshucked or unsheIled corn except
in supplying the local market. For the
export trade, New Orleans will receive
only shelled corn. The better the grade.
the cleaner and brighter the corn, the
more free from weevils, and the better
the price will be.
One Of the greatest needs of the Louisi-
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1910-09-17

ana corn grower today is to create a mar.
ket for Louisiana corn. Such corn is nov
an unknown quantity in the foreign mar
ket. What must be done is to put a good
article on the market and in sufficient
quantities to command the respect of ex-
porters and foreign buyers. In order that
this may be done successfully, it is OF
greater Importance to make name for
Louisiana corn than it is to get one or two
cents more per bushel
While we urge the creation of market
for Louisiana corn, we are not of the
opinion that the best use to be made of
our crop is selling it as a cash crop We
believe, rather, that just as much corn
should be retained at home as can profit
ably be used in feeding live stock, chiefly
beef cattle and hogs. Used in this way,
corn will bring much larger returns than if
placed on the market at so cents or SIS
cents per busheL-Dept. Agricultural Ex-
