Opening of Grinding Season Delayed

Owing to the decidedly unfayor-
able weather which HIS prevailed
for the past week, the opening OF
the grinding campaign has been de-
layed and none of the mills in this
locality will begin operations until
the latter part of the month. In
stead of the clear skies and low
temperatures which are naturally to
be expected at this season of the
year, there have been almost daily
showers since the beginning Of Octo-
Der, and the thermometer readings
recorded by Weather Observer w.
D. Park have been more suited to
midsummer than early autumn. An
immediate need of the sugar plant.
ers is a spell of clc@r, dry weather
to check the growth of the cane
and cause it to ripen, and unless
these conditions are Forthcoming
very shortly it seems ordained that
the inception of the crushing sea-
son will find the crop sadly deficient
in sucrosc content.
The Belle Alliance factory, which
had been scheduled to begin grind
ing las, Tuesday, has delayed its
start week in order to give the cane
a chance to rlpen, and will probably
get under way next Tuesday,the 18th,
The Evan Hall factory in this par
ish will open the campaign on the
| 18th inst.

Inc Secleta Italiana de M. B. Conte
al Iorlno, an organization composed
or large number of the leading
Italian citizens of this section, met
saturday, Oct l, at it's hall in
William street and elected officers
ior the ensuing year. In view of the
Iact that two factions have been
tlghtlng for, control of the society,
and that some trouble occurred among
the members on the occasion of the
annual parade and fair four weeks
ago, Messrs. C. DiCristina and Paolo
Montelepre, Of New Orleans, were
invited to attend the meeting and
act as arbitrators Of the election AS
result OF the presence and influ-
ence OF these gentlemen, the cleo
ton passed off quietly and peacefully,
although the balloting was spirited
and some three hours were con-
sumed in discussion
The following officers were named :
Vlncenzo MARSHA, president; Rocco
Savoja, first vice PRESIDENT; Giuseppe
Giufre, second vice PRESIDENT; Vim
cenzo Lupo, financial secretary;
Bruno Savoja, corresponding secre-
tary; Paul Fontano, treasurer; Vim

vadore Mistretta.
The vote for president was So to
50, and that for the other officers
was equally close, a tie resulting in
several instances. Bernard Mistretta,
a well-known storekeeper of Donald
+sonville, whose place OF business is at
the corner of Houmas and Charles
streets, was the candidate for presi-
dent who opposed Vincenzo MARSHA.
AS precautionary measure, Police
men l.. J. Echeverria and Ernest Dali
feres had been detailed by Mayor
Maurin to wait outside the hall of
the society while the election was be-
ing carried on, but no disturbance
was created and the officers were
not called upon to exercise their au-
