GENEVIEYE ORPHANAGE
Beautiful and substantial Structure Ded-
icated with Appropriate Ceremony.

The Genevieve Orphanage, recently
completed, was dedicated Sunday after
noon with appropriate ceremony. There
was in attendance a large concourse OF
citizens, including many ladies, all oi
whom were welcomed heartily.
The programme comprised musical
numbers, vocal and instrumental, and
addresses by Hon. ]. d. Wilkinson
Hon. Z. H. Randolph, Mr.. Levi Cooper,
Mr.. S. B. Hicks and by Mrs. John Shut
tleworth, who is an indefatigable worker
and is earnestly concerned in this noble
institution. Her address was a gem and
received the most fattering commenda-
ton.
In his discourse Mr. Wilkinson re-
vealed the statement, which was some
what staggering to the audience, that
the State of Louisiana during the past
ten years had expended $2,437,ooo for
the prosecution and conviction OF Grim
inals and the pitiful sum of $4,000 for
the reformation and the care of the Or
phans who have been thrown upon the
State as public wards. This is an indict-
ment which reflects the blackest of dis
credit and which can not be defended
Mr., Randolph paid an eloquent tribute
to those who had made possible the
Genevieve Orphanage, the home of the
motherless and fatherless
Mr.. Levi Cooper, vice president, pre-
sented an outline of what had been
done
Mr.. Hicks, president, detailed much
valuable and highly priced information
concerning the orphanage.
One of the hapbiest of men in attend
ance was Ike Barron, one of the direc-
tors, whose whole soul is in the orphan
age and its success.
Delicious punch and ice cold water
was served by Mrs. Frost and Mrs.
Pugh
The Genevieve Orphanage was found
ed by Rev. w. S. Penick. 1t has been
aided generously by Mrs. Edward ia
cobs, who was at the dedication
The building was constructed by the
Carson Brothers. 1t is complete in all
its requirements 1t is a model of con-
venience.
The invocation was by Rev. T. K
Smith, and the benediction by Rev. Fl.
A. Sumrell
The participants in the musical pro-
gramme were Miss Ella Weaver, Miss
Susie LeRosen, Miss Lurline Graham
Mrs. Walter Crowder, Mrs. Kate James
lee, Mrs. Sam Meyer, Mrs. John Slat-
terry, Messrs. Ernest Reams, Edwin
Crawford, A. J. Frantz, Karl Mccoy
and Lawrence McFarlin.
An effort is being directed towards
an annual appropriation for
the Genevieve Orphanage. In this eff
fort there must be no such word as fail.

WORSE THAN BLIND TIGERS
Judge Burns Scores Sale of Intoxicating
Bitters in Washington.

New Era (Franklington, La.): Judge
Burns in his charge to the grand jury
last week gave special stress to the illicit
sale of bitters used as intoxicants by
druggists in some towns of the parish.
This practice has been going on for
some time, and it is well that the Judge
called attention to it. There are many
brands of patent medicines used almost
entirely as beverage, and the drug
gists who sell these so-ca1led medicines
are doing the community in which they
reside a great injustice That people
get drunk on these patent medicines is
a well known fact, and as the Judge
well said, the druggist who deals in
these subterfuges is worse in the eyes
of the law than the real blind tiger The
blind tiger in Franklinton no longer has
such sway as of yore, but from the
empty bottles to be found scattered over
town, somebody is evidently doing a
thriving business along this line

THE PRINTING BILL
Common Sense, Fairness and Economy
Dictates It's Defeat

A printing bill submitted by Hon. F
c. Claiborne is pending in the House ot
Representatives. 1t has been endorsed
by the Press Association, but this is nc
good reason why it should be enacted
into law As has been said by the Sen
tinel, the Claiborne bill, should it be-
come a law, would give to the police
juries and city councils the right to
select their own official journals at rates
fixed in the law How the Press Asso-
citation could advocate and demand the
restoration of the law that was made
infamous and damnable through the ma.
ture of its carrying out, is more than
we can understand. 1t places too much
absolute power i'll the hands of the
police jurors and councilmen, and proves
veritable weapon in the hands of the
bosses who control these boards and
dictate their action. Through the law
now to be restored more dirty, con-
|temptible, partisan and conscienceless
things were done, in the way of subsi-
dizing and controlling newspapers, than
any honest man would ever believe in a
thousand years. Under it only one
newspaper has any possible chance to
secure the printing, and that is the one
which is willing to sell itself body and
soul to the bosses. who will agree to
secure the contract for it, provided it
will consent to become the mouth-piece
or organ of the little coterie of die
tators which bloom and flourish in ev-
cry parish"
Just such a printing law as we should
have. 1t is fair and compels honest
competition and honest dealing. 1t
works in the interest of the people, and
if some alleged newspaper men see fit
TO disgrace the business by doing the
printing on cut throat basis then the
conscientious, though turned down bid
der, has lost nothing, simply because he
did not have it. We have had dirt and
Infamous trickery enough over the pub
ic printing contract, let an earnest eff
fort be made to suppress it from this
lime on, and in order that this may be
accomplished we sincerely hope a suffi-
.ient number of honest hearted and
fairminded senator's and representatives
will be found to vote against Mr. Clai-
borne's new bill to kill it.
An of which is endorsed heartily by
the Caucasian. Let there be competi-
ton. Indeed, common sense, fairness
and economy dictate the defeat of the
bill, regardless of its endorsement by
the Press Association, which, being hui
man, is fallible, and in this instance is
amenable to unqualified criticism.
Why should parish or a municipality
be compelled to pay fifty cents per inch
for its printing when through competi-
ton it can be done for less by news
papers well established and possessing
character and responsibility.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Corn and cotton Benefited by Rains
Which Extended som BEST Teas
to the Atlantic and som the Mlio to
the Gulf of4Iexico.

New Orleans Bcayune: The past
week has been decidedly favorable pc
riod for the growing crops. During the
closing days of the previous week and
the opening days of the period now
considered, practically the whole South
received an abundance of moisture in
the shape of successive heavy rains
which not only put an effectual end to
the previous drouth, but saturated the
soil sufficiently to permit of a reason
able period of fair warm weather with
out injury.
In the cotton sections the rains ex-
Itended from Western Texas to the At
lantic coast and from the Ohio river to
| the Gulf of Mexico While some few
people who never are pleased with any
| thing complain that there has been
rather too much rain, the general yer
dict has been that the rains were in ev-
| cry respect beneficial nither too much
nor too little. In every part of the
South the reports indicate that the crop
| has been immensely benefited. as the
fields everywhere had been we'll worked
and were free of grass, and were, there
fore III position to profit fully from
the rains In the western part of the
belt the reports are the most glowing
Cotton is up everywhere and growing
vigorously, even if a trifie later than last
year. In the central belt the crop is
more backward, but it has been doing
well since the rains, although owing to
the boil weevil scare and the damage to
early paintings by the frost of April,
the acreage is not apt to show any inn
provement over last year. In the east
ern belt the crop has been much bene-
fitted by the rains, but it is from ten
days to two weeks late.
Corn has experienced about as much
benefit from the recent rains as has cot
ton While the corn crop suffered a
good deal from the drouth it is not be-
lieved that it was cut down sufficiently
to make any material shrinkage in the
ultimate yield A good corn crop is now
almost as important and essential to the
South as a good cotton CROP hence it is
gratifying to know that the present
prospect is for a good yield.
Rice has undoubtedly benefited from
the recent rains, but the drouth of the
spring and other causes have undoubt-
edly contributed to a reduction in the
acreage in the prairie section of this
and the neighboring State. The river
crop has Jared better, as good acreage
was planted, and continuance of high
water in the river has made irrigation
Easy.
The sugar cane crop has been inn
nensely benefited by the rains, even
some of the plant cane supposed to
have been irreparably injured showing
signs of life and vigor. As the fields
are generally in high state of culti-
vation, the crop is now making rapid
progress, and all that is needed to give
is the impetus that is desired is warm
Weather and plenty of sunshine. Every
portion Of the sugar belt received All
abundance of rain within the past ten
lays, and sentiment is again very cheer
ful among producers.
