McEnsrr Meruorinl Project.

A few of the friends Of the late Senator
Samuel Douglas McEnery met recently to
consider how properly to honor the mem
CRY of that most worthy son of Louisiana.
Chas. A. Farwell. prominent business
man of New Orleans, was made chairman
OF the meeting and charged with the duty
of appealing to the people of the state
for funds wherewith to purchase a lot in
the Metairie cemetery and to erect over
Senator McEnefy's remains a stone in
scribed with suitable record of his ser
vices; it being felt that the most unselfsh
way TO accomplish this purpose was by
popular subscription.
Both those who are moved by sense
of duty and those who esteem it a privi-
lege are invited to contribute to the fund.

Columbia finished grinding at 4;30 o'clock
Wednesday morning, and the last strike
of sugar was let out of the pan at $50
in the afternoon Of the same day. The
campaign was smooth and uneventful,
not a single hour having been lost on ac-
count of breakdowns or accidents of any
kind during the entire So days of grinding.
The river pump operated to furnish wa
ter to the Houmas Central factory of the
Miles Planting Company, at Burnside, was
completely destroyed by fire about ESQ
o'clock Thursday afternoon, The blaze
originated when pipe leading from the
oil supply tank was opened to investigate
some obstruction in the flow of oil
to the burners. and as the building was
saturated with the inflammable fluid the
flames spread with amazing rapidity and
had soon consumed the entire structure.
A new pump has been secured and is be-
ing rugged up, and it is hoped that the
unfortunate destruction of The old pump
will cause only few days delay in grind
ing operations at Houmas Central. Tie
mill will probably terminate the season
about the latter part of next week.

A GREAT COMPLIMENT TO LOUISIANA.
President Taft on Monday last nomi-
mated Associate Justice Edward D. White
of Louisiana to be chief justice of the
United States supreme court to fill the va
cancy resulting from the death of the late
Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller.
In thus comforting distinction upon Lou
isiana and one of her most eminent and
talented citizens, MIR. Taft has broken two
presidents. this being the first time a
president of the United States has ap-
pointed chief justice whose political
faith is different from his own. and the
first time an associate justice has been
promoted to the chief justiceship.
The act is one which stamps President
Taft as "a man truly great" He has dis
regarded party lines and political expedi-
ency in making the most important APP
pointment which can fall to the lot of the
official head of this government, he has
given renewed evidence of the sincerity of
his belief that the judiciary should be
lifted above politics and partisanship.
and he has exhibited acumen and fairness
IN choosing for the presiding itdssee eef the
country's highest court a jurist of such
eminent qualifications, deserving worth
and distinguished service as Judge White.
Two nominations for associate justices
were made at the same time the name of
Judge White was sent to the senate for
chief justice. the selections being Judge
Willis Van Devanter of Wyoming and
Judge Joseph B. Lamar OF Georgia. The
latter. like Judge White, is a Democrat

Investigating Service Over Bayou LafOurche
Branch Road.

hranch Road.
Hon. Shelby Taylor, of Crowley, mem
Der of the Louisiana Railroad Commission
from the third district, passed through
Donaldsonville Thursday evening en- route
to Thibodau1, where he went to inyesti-
gate complaint concerning the character
of the service furnished by the Texas and
Pacific Railroad over its branch line from
Donaldsonville to Thibodaux. This mat
ter has long been subject of unfavorable
comment on the part of the travelling pub
lie, and an investigation is badly needed
by someone competent to take action
looking to betterment of the conditions
which have prevailed practically since the
construction of the branch road. While
the service at all times is nothing to brag
about, at this season of the year it is par
ticuiarly poor, owing to the fact that the
trains operated over the branch are of the
mixed variety and are called upon to do
great deal of switching at many of the
plantations between this city and the
Thibodaux terminus. The result is that
the train scheduled to leave here at 1910
D. H. ordinarily arrives at Thibadaax at
about or o'clock. three to five hours
being consumed in making the run of 80
miles. This condition should not be per-
mitted to continue. and if MIR. Taylor
wishes to earn the everlasting gratitude
