Women Applaud Speaker.

Then the question of votes for women
was interjected into the discussion by
Emmett L. Adams. The women applauded
the sentiments enthusiastically. r. S.
Therin, the chairman, ruled that the
question as to whether the suffrage hoped
for would give votes to both sexes or
only to men was a subsidiary one and
not pertinent to the general topic OF the
evening
Charles w. Darr, who next secured the
floor, renewed the discussion of woman
suffrage, speaking in opposition to 1t.
Miss Harriet Sifton, recently from Lon
don, and Mrs. Barbour, Miss Gillette and
Mrs. Belva Lockwood spoke for the dele
CATION of suffragettes. Their ultimatum
was that they would not uphold the
movement for District suffrage unless 1t
included votes for women. The discus
sion waxed warm and spirited as other
speakers gave their views. Just when
several were trying to secure the floor
at the same time, John Colpoys moved
an adjournment and the chairman an
nounced that the vote, Immediately put,
was in favor of the motion

WOODWARD & LOTHROP'
WILL GET MORE SPACE
Equitable Building Association
Disposes of Present Site
for New Building.

Woodward & Lothrop have arranged
for additional space and the Equitable
Cooperative Building Association will
secure new home as the result of an
agreement, unique in the history
of business transactions and GER
tainly in real estate deals. According
to the terms of the agreement, which
will soon be ratified by the directors OF
the building association, the structure at
1908 F street, now owned and occupied
by the building association, will become
the property of Woodward & Lothrop
as soon as a building suitable for the
uses of the association is erected.
beginning has already been made to
secure the new home, as the property
913-1o street, adjoining the Columbia
National Bank, has been purchased by
Woodward & Lothrop from DR.. E. M.
Gallaudet. The ground, which is i'm
proved by a three-story building, has
frontage of 40 feet and depth of 113
feet to thirty-foot alley. The price
paid was $3.50 a square foot, or total
of $4,000.
1t is proposed to erect on this site
building which will be planned ex-
clusively for the use of the association,
and with the ample width and lofty roof
the interior Will be one OF dignity as
we'll as of great convenience to the
patrons of the association. 1t is the in
tention to build without delay.
Demands of Developing Business.
Though their establishment now covers
nearly the entire square bounded by F,
G, 10th and 18th streets. Woodward &
Lothrop have realized for a long time
that additional space, to provide for
growing business. must be acquired. The
only part of the square which Is not
owned by the firm is the southeast cor
yer having fifty feet on F street and one
hundred feet on 10th street. or this the
Equitable Building Association owned
thirty-three and two-thirds feet on f
street and twenty-five feet on 10th street.
Such. however. has been the demand
for space that for some years the base
ment of the Equitable building has been
occupied by one of the sections of the
establishment of Woodward & Lothrop.
and the building which stands on the 10th
street portion of the property or the
Equitable Building Association, is also
used in the same connection.
Under these circumstances MessrSS
Woodward Lothrop proposed to the
Equitable to select other property on +
street and erect thereon an up-to-date
building suitable for the uses of the asso-
citation and to give such property in ex-
change for the property which the asso-
citation is now occupying. The associa-
ton did not want. to move 1t was con-
tent where it was.

Abbeville has perfected the orgar
ization of aboard of Trade, why car
Thibodaux not do the same? Why
not resuscitate the local Progressive

but inactive. The membershipshould

dustries. Let the aim be the i'm.
provement of the town and securing
of paying and labor employing in.
dustries, correctly run, by compe-
tent and experienced people on a
business basis in business like
manner.
There is also talk of the organ
ization Of a Civic League with
school i'm provement and local i'm
provements in view, to be known
as the mothers club. This
should work in unison with the
business league and should not
let itself be interfered by politics.
Organizations such as this are ab
solutely necessary in every COM
munity, and Thibodaux is not i'm
mune, if present conditions count
for anything. The bead should
be local people and people who
have the correct interest in the
town.
There is much good that could
be done by ladies civic organ
ization, more than can be pointed
out just now. Over a year ago
an attempt was made toorganize.
in fact we believe organization
had been perfected, but some
one advised it's dissolution and
it was dissolved on the ground
that the time was not-o opportuna
Is it not possible that the same
opposition could say to day that
it is too late !? 1t is never too late
to do good and any association,
with civic pride as its aim is me-
yer too late in organizing, al
though it can not be organized
too soon.

Big Suit
Against Parish
Mr.. Wisner brings suit against parish for
One Hundred Thousand Dollars dam
ages for slander OF title.
In response to numerous inquiries made
since our last issue we find it necessary
to give the matter prominence.
Suit is consequence of action of Police
Jury threatening to sue for recovery OF
lands said to have been given to parish
years back.

Owing TO numerous inquiries
made upon US by all mails and other
wise we ask our readers to pardon
US for giving brief resume of the
one hundred thousand dollar suit
now pending against the Parish of
Lafourche. 1t seems that years
back the Parish Of Lafourche was
given lands either by the State or
the United States on condition that
the land would be drained and up
on complying with other condi-
tions.
The Police Jury after, investi-
eating the matter and consulting
with Messrs. Wisner & Dresser
and other land owners agreed
that the suit would be dropped
and the Parish would release any
and allrightsi it might have in the
land,if the property owners back
of the forty arpent line would
agree to SO dig a drain canal as
TO benefit the lands in front of
the forty arpent line. The mat.
ter was reported to the Police
Jury and was approved by it in
a resolution to that effect. At
the n,.At meeting the question
was again brought up and it was
decided that the parish could not
conpromisc it's land in that man
ner and counsel was accordingly
EN- lloyed to recover the lands.
Anticipating the suit Mr.. Wisner
fled suit against The parish for
SANDER of title in that be had
prepared to float, bonds TO the
amount of three million dollars
to invest in these lands aud fuy-
thes lhat is would prevent the
lands from being sold, and check
the flow of immigration headed
this way. What the parish's de
fense will be remains to be seen.
The quession-has created mnch>
talk and interest throughout the
parish. The answer of the pa
rish is eagerly awaited, as is she

ery of lands.

Rather large and enthusiastic crowd to
watch the one sided and listless game
last Saturday afternoon.

The Guion Academy, the local
public school, opened the. basket
ball season here last Saturday after
noon, when they matched strength
with the boys team from Labadie-
Vile public school. The game was
lacking in thrilling plays, save the
ones contributed by the locals, who
were afforded an ample opportuni-
ty to get a good practice and Timber
ing up in this their initial game
this season. go
The game was one sided from be-
ginning to end and in that respect
lacked in interest. While the crowd
was enthusiastic, ,itnever warmed up
to the pitch that it could and would
have warmed up to had the contest
been anything like close game.
The visitors were simply outclassed
at every turn, and the locals showed
their superiority from every stand
point and had the Labadieville boys
at their mercy. The score at the
final was Thibodaux 80 Labadie-
Vile 2,

This town was shocked last Sat
urday morning and Friday night
on learning the sad news of the
death of Peter Landry of Napo-
leonville, who came to his death
in rather tragic manner. From
allreports it seems that Pete
Landry, as he was ia miliarly
known, engaged in conversation
with Charles Triche, one time
sheriff of Assumption and now
deputy under Sheriff Aucoin, ON
the street in Ma poleonvilfe. What
the first words were the bystan-
ders do not know, but the conver
sation between the two soon be.
came heated. Words led to an
ger and Mr.. Triche's son, Mr..
Charles Triche Jr., who was stan
ding near by talking to friends
observed that his father and de-
ceased were struggling for the
possession of gun and he went
to the assistance Of his father.
When Triche reached the scene
two reports of gun were heard,
evidently fired by young Triche,
and Landry was seen to fall NOR
tally wounded. The idea seems
to be that as the son ran towards
the com batants he fired, and
that his Shots were effective. It
seems to be the opinion that he
had a revolver on his person. A
coroner's jury returned a verdict
charging that Landry came tohis
death from a gun shot wound,
fired from a weapon in the hands
of young Triche.
The real cause Of the trou BILE
is not known, but tits thought to
have grown out of political differ
ences, as the deceased and the
older Triche had been followers
Of opposing factions and it is
known that they were not over
friendly since the last primary
election.

Races On
aidgshs|d Sunday,
Last Sunday program Of four races, two
best heats out OF three, was offered on

Plantation being just on edge OF corpo-
rate limits large crowd from Town WAS
attracted to the scene


Last sunday afternoon program
OF races was offered on straight
track on Ridgefeld Plantation, in
which number OF local horses, as
well as outside horses participated.
| There were four matched races, two
best.heats out OF three on a hall
mile course. The horses were in fine
trim and the weather was very favo-
rable for the occasion.
Fhe crowd attracted was rather
large, considering the fact that there
are very few conveniences offered
spectators, all being forced to stand
unless driving out in automobile or
buggy. Many people from town
were present Mr.. Charles Riviere
making numerous trips taking peo-
pie out in mis- gasoline buggy. 1t
is hoped that by having occasional
races at this place that sufficient in-
terest will be stirred among the To-
Cal horsemen and local sports to
warrant their converting the cid
Tetreau race track, now owned by
Mr.. Emile P. Lefort, into q mod
ern and up to date race course
and base ball park with all mo-
dern conveniences.
The races were as follows:

The grinding season in this
section is about on and in tbs
next few days will be in full blast.
A mum Der of plantations have
started In this week by cutting
cane and some few will start the
mills to morrow. By next week
almost every factory in the pa
rish, if not every one, will be oper
ating. The grinding season
should run until the holidays, if
not longer as the cropi is a bill lar
ger than last year and about on
an average with the best year.
Weather conditions throughout
the year have been very favora-
ole to the crop and the yield is
expected to be as good as could
be expected. So FAR there have
been no definite reportsand none
were expected as the season is
yet in its infancy.
If conditions ARE as good as
they are painted there should be
much money put in circulation
after grinding, making the pros
poets for the next year far bet
ter than they have been. in mum
ber of years. While labor is not
as abundant as it might be, help
was by no means as difficult to
secure as in previous years and
most of the places seem to be
well supplied with field hands,
without the necessity of having
to import as large mum bers from
other sections as heretofore.
