DIVERSIFYING INDUSTRIES in
THE SOUTH.

1.-THE Galveston News in recent
issue refers editorially to the graft
fying growth of the creamery indus
try in the state of Texas. Texas but
ter not only meets a ready sale at
home, but it is finding a ready mar
ket in other states in competition
with the Northern product, as it is
of just as good quality as the best
made in the West.
"Texas, like the rest of the South,
has been accustomed to depend upon
the North and West for it's butter
supply, when no sound reason ex-
listed why much of the butter used
could not be made at home. Texas
will have to continue to use good
deal of outside butter for long time
to come, as the state has a lar e
population, which is rapidly growing,
but the fact that the number of
creameries is increasing and that all
are successful holds out the hope
that in time the Lone Star State will
come close to supplying all its own
needs.
Texas has now about seventy
creameries, and their success is sure
to lead to the Inauguration of many
more, as the state has the cows,
the food crops, suitable climate and
a big population to be supplied. Texas
example might we. be followed by
Louisiana and other Southern states.
Some beginnings have already been
made, but there should be many
creameries scattered through this
entire section, as there is no reason
in the world why as good butter
should not be made in this state as
anywhere else in the world.
''It is in building up of such in
dustries throughout the South that
this section is to look for the proper
diversification from the single-crop
policy, which has kept the section
backward for so long. Truck farm
ing, stock raising, poultry breeding,
diarying, fruit growing and many
other similar industries offer the
Southern farmer medium for di-
versifying his production. The most
prosperous agricultural districts are
those in which industry is most di-
versified.-Picayune.

WALL STREET AND THE
FARMER.

The railroad managers and other
Eastern financiers have been utter
ing notes of alarm, based upon the
assumption that our food supply was
not sufficient, or IN few years
would not be sufficient, to meet the
demands of the American people,
urging upon the farmers the duty of
working harder and more intelligent
ly, and recruiting their arnks from
the idle men of the city, thus re-
lieving the world of the threatened
panic.
All very good in its way. There
is room on the farms of America for
more laborers and more farmers.
There is much untitled land in
America, which can well be devoted
to raising food supplies. Above all
there is room everywhere for better
agriculture-that is, for intensive
farming, for preservation of the soil,
and therefore for larger crops per
man and per acre.
This intensive farming means ex-

MISS JENKINS LAUGHS.

The Times-Democrat of Tuesday
says:
Although the parents of Olivia
Jenkins, living in Covington, have
beeen notified by the New Orleans
authorities of the arrest of their
daughter Sunday, while in the wait
ing room of the Terminal Depot by
Miss Bonnabel of the Travellers Aid
Society, they have not yet come for
her, and the irl is still In the House
of Good Shepherd.
Miss Jenkins, who 1t was thought
ran away from her home in Coving-
ton with A. M. Harrison, married
man, denies this emphatically. She
said she left home independently and
had 500 to defray her expenses.
She laughed at the newspaper stories
written about her alleged escapade.
especially the reference to her as
fifteen-year-old girl. She says she
is twenty years old, and she looked
1t, being nearly six feet tall.
Since leaving home Miss jenkins
says she went to Slidell on visit.
She said she was homeward bound
when detained here by the local au-
thorities, who received instructions
from Covington to apprehend the
girl. Miss Jenkins says she spent
two days In the Mississippi House I'm
Canal street and meta man there.
but said the man was not Harrison.
She denies being abducted.

PASSAGE OF BILL ASSURED.

Baton Rouge, La. Aug. 1.-THE
Worlds Panama Exposition tax bill
proposing an amendment to the Con-
stitution, SO that tax may be levied
and collected to guarantee a bond
issue by the company of $500, 900,
will in all human probability be a
legislative enactment by Friday
night.
This was assured tonight shortly
after O'Clock, when the House OF
Representatives met, received the
bill from the Senate, the same having
been passed by that body this morn
ing, and advanced it to a first read
ing without objection. The bill was
referred to the House Committee on
ways and means, ]. C. Henriques. OF
Orleans, acting chairman, and that
committee, meeting Immediately
after the adjournment, reported the
bill favorably.

GRAFTON.
SUITS INVOLVING TITLES OF
PUBLIC LANDS.
Included as one of the objects OF
this call, desire to all your atten-
tion that it is necessary that such
will authorize and direct the attorney
general of the state to take part in
legislation should be enacted that
and assist in all cases involving the
title of public lands in this State,
whether the title of su n public lands
be in the name of the state or in
that of some political subdivision.
Legislation along this line is abso-
lutely necessary in order that the
interest of the state may be protected
and safeguarded.
SO-CALLED LOCKER BILL.
Act No. I'll of 1910, better known
as the locker bill, was found, after
adjournment to contain a defective
enactment clause, which, in the
opinion of great many lawyers,
render same unconstitutional. At
the earnest request of number of
citizens l have included that subject
matter in this call in order that the
defect might be corrected
EXPENSES OF THIS SESSION.
1t will be necessary for you to con-
slider the question of the expenses of
this extraordinary session and to
make provision for the payment
thereof. The Panama Exposition
Company has very generously offered
to pay the expenses of this extra
ordianry session, but the acceptance
of such an offer, in my opinion,
would not be consonant with the dig
nifty of the sovereign state. = I, there
fore, recommend that you make pro-
visions by which the expenses of this
session shall be paid by the State OF
louisiana
Under the provisions of article 81
of the Constitution appropriation
bills must reach the governor five
full days before the adjournment.
L " pdoO oil dppl opi I0GlOA AL tlC GA
penshs of this session will, therefore,
necessitate the prolonging of the ses-
sion until the full five days have
expired.
l would, therefore, suggest that
instead of appropriating for the full
ten days session sum sufficient to
run the General Assembly for six
days be borrowed from the fiscal
agents, and that the Gen raj Assem-
bly, adjourn sine die on the sixth
day.
l have estimated that it would
cost the sum of $12,500 under the
most economic disbursements to run
the session for ten days. and that it
would cot $4,000 to run it for six
days. If we were to borrow $4,000
from the fiscal agents, the interest
on same, at per cent per annum
for two years, would be $3.50. This
would save four days session, which
would cost $4,000, making net
saving to the state of $4,000.
In accordance with the Constitu-
tion a list of appo; ntments made
since the last session will be submit
ted to the Senate for its considera-
ton. Respectfully,
J. Y. SANDERS, Governor

FLORENCE
NIGHTINGALE
IS DEAD
Passes Quietly Away and
Will Be Buried UnOs-
tentati0usly, AS
Desired.

London, Aug. 14.-Florence Night
ingale, the famous nurse of the
Crimean war, and the only woman
who ever received the Order of Merit
died yesterday afternoon at her Lon
don home. Although She had been
an invalid for long time, rarely
leaving her home, where she passed
the time in half redundant posi-
tion, under the constant care of a
physician, her death was somewhat
unexpected. A week ago she was
quite sick, but then improved, and on
Friday was cheerful. During the
night alarming symptoms developed,
and she gradually sank until
o'clock Saturday afternoon, when an
attack of heart failure brought the
end.
Her funeral will be as quiet as
possible in accordance with her
wishes.
During recent years, owing to her
feebleness and advanced age, Miss
Nightingale had received but few
visitors. On May IL last she cele-
brated her ninetieth birthday, and
was the recipient of congratulatory
AlSood60 Ii Olu hluS uGOTkc.
In 1908 she received the freedom
of the city of London. King Edward
bestowed upon her the Order of
Merit, the most exclusive distinction
in the gift of the British sovereign.
The membership of the order is limit
ed to twenty-four, and it includes
such men as Lord Roberts, Lord
Wellesley, Field Marshal Kitchener,
James Bryce, Prince Yamagata and
Admiral Togo.
There is a strong feeling among
the general public, and particularly
among the military men, in favor OF
public memorial for Miss Nightin-
gale. There is little doubt, however
that her expressed wishes in this
connection will be taken into con-
sideration.
Not even the death of royal per-
sonage could have called forth more
universal expressions of regret and
tributes of affection than appear in
the English papers.

TEXT OF GOVERNOR SANDERS
MESSAGE TO LEGISLATURE.

Baton Rouge, La, Aug. 15.-The
following is the full text of Governor
Sanders message to the Legislature:
State of Louisiana, Executive De-
partment, Baton Rouge, August Is,
1910. To the Honorable Members
OF the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the State of Louisiana:
Gentlemen-Pursua to the Pro-
visions of the Constitution, which
confers upon the chief executive the
authority, upon extraordinary occa-
sions, to convene the General Assem-
bly,, and in conformity with resolu
tions adopted by the Worlds Panama
Exposition Company and indorsed by
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
the New Orleans Board of Trade, the
New Orleans Progressive Union, the
New Orleans Live Stock Exchange,
the Louisiana Sugar and Rice Ex-
change, the Wholesale Grocers' AS
SO iaton of New Orleans, the Mer-
camille Club of New Orleans and the
Contractors and Dealers Exchange
of New Orleans, urging upon me to
call the General Assembly in extra
ordinary session, in order that an
amendment might be submitted to
the people of the state levying an
additional tax upon thee city of New
Orleans SO that sum equal $780,
600 mioht be raised for exposition
purposes, | have deemed it expedi-
ent and proper to call at this time
an extraordinary session of the Gen.
eral Assembly in order that any con-
stitutional amendment submitted to
L. f1~ hotr ar a
lection at the coming general e1ec-
tion in November may have sixty
days promulgation, as required by
the Constitution.
THE PANAMA EXPOSITION TAX.
If the proposed amendment to the
Constitution, adopted at the regular
lines, it is the opinion of the execu-
session, is supplemented along these
tive committee of the Panama Expo
sition Company that New Orleans
will secure the exposition.
This Is a matter of vital import
ance to the people not only of New
Orleans, but of the whole state, and l
earnetiy recommend that you submit
to the people, for their ratification
or rejection at the next general elec-
tion, an amendment to the Constitu-
tion which will meet the require
ments as outlined above.
AID TO INDUSTRIAL OR MANU-
FEATURING PLANTS.
At the earnest request of a delega-
tion of representative citizens from
the city Of Shreveport have seen fit
to inlude as one of the obcjects to be
considered at this session proposal
to amend article 270 of the Consti-
tuition, so as to authorize municipali-
ties, wards and parishes to vote
special taxes in aid of industrial Or
manufacturing plants or enterprises,
and such enabling laws as may be
necessary to carry out the purposes
of such article as amended. Political
subdivisions, under our Constitution
have the right to vote taxes for pub
lie improvements and for bonuses to
railroads. If community desires
to tax itself for the purposes of build
ing up and encouraging manufacture

reason who they should not be given

All those sections which have
made money in this industry have
done so by thoroughly organizing
and placing the business under a
management that is capable of keep
ing in touch with the markets, hand
ling in large quantities, and with dig
nifty and power enough to command
the cooperation of railroads. and the
the attention of the buyers. We
must know what to ship, when to
ship and in what kind of packages
to ship. The small organizations
have served their purpose in starting
the ball rolling, but for complete
success We need parish organiza-
tion that will handle all that is raised
in n/quantities large enough to give

and corn and cotton and meat, then
some of this price absorbed by the
distributing agents must go to the
farmer to encourage him in increas-
ing his production.
When the farmer gets his share

farm products, there will not be much

Meeting Will Be Held at Abita Springs Saturday,
August 27 and There Will Be Present the Leading Peo-
pie of the Parish Among the Farmers Professional
and Businessmen. Everyone is Invited The
Progressive Union Will Attend in Body.

1t is realized that St. Tammany
parish is at disadvantage in the
trucking business by having numer-
Gus small organizations scattered
throughout the parish. The interest
that is being taken in the matter mas
developed by reason of the fact that
it has been demonstrated by practi-
cal experience that this parish is
adapted in high degree to the rails
ing of vegetables of all kinds at a
profit. That part of the problem has
been settled beyond controversy.
The only question before the farmers
now is the business proposition of
how to reach the best markets and
realize the best results for the labor
performed.

This is the most important move

27, 1910, for the purpose of organiz-
ing parish association.
The meeting will be held in the
