INCOWSIDERATE DENUNCLAT TON.

Nearly every statement made by
Jno. NJ. Parker since the beginning
Of the state campaign has been
disproven. Yet this wolf in Sleeps
clothing is going UP and down the
state yelling Reform. Reform.-Mon
roe NeWs-Star.
Softly, brother, softly. There is
general public knowledge of the fact
that Mr.. Parker journeyed to Natchi-
toches a few weeks ago in response
10 a banter from one of the guberna-
toriaI candidates, DR.. AsWell to-wit
IT, 4a ststs 2at,s eo ne@nSn Of 5%
tain Monroe confab and the candl-
dacy Of the doctor aforesaid, not one
of which statements has been dis
proved or authoritatively denied to
date. Mr.. Parker doubtless wears
sleeps wool clothing in season, but
he isn't a wolf if he goes about yell
ing, for wolves can't yell; and his
reputation is that Of a hlgh-toned
gentleman, a fearless and public
spirited citizen, a man whose word is
as good as his bond with ali VINO
know him. It isn't going to benefit
the cause of any candidate, faction
or party to misrepresent or abuse
such men.
The Chief doesn't believe John NJ.
Parker capable of knowingly making
a misstatement or OF malignlng any
Body, and it questions the ability OF
the esteemed NeWs-Star to estab-
fish even a small fraction of the
sweeping charge it has made against
IN in the heat Of partisan adyo-
cacy and resentment.

a Fine Piece of Work,

One of the biggest pieces Of work
in the line Of machinery repairs ever
undertaken in Donaldsonyille was
handled here Tuesday, Aug, 20, when
the steamer Bob Blanks landed at tn
local wharf with a loose crank. The
breakdown vas of a serious nature
and it was necessary that repairs
be made at once If the steamer were
to proceed on her voyage. Capt
Joseph Constantin Of the Ascension
Machine Works was summoned and
Immediately undertook the work OF
repairing the crank, and with the as
distance and under the supervision
Of his foreman, A. c. Hartrampf, com
Dleted the job successfully in re
markably short time The magnitude
Of the work may be grasped when it
IS said that the crank weighed about
5000 pounds and fit a shaft 8 inches
in diameter, the engine being lS'x7
stroke. The crank had to be taken off
heated to t, red heat and shainked
ON.
Commenting on this job, the Pic
ayune of Aug. 81, in it's "Jackstatfs'
column, says:
The steamer Bob Blanks on he1
recent trip down broke a crank shaft
and had to stop for repairs at Don
aldsonville. There Captain Carter en-
saged the leading machine shop Of tht
place to dc the work, and, much t.
his surprise and qualification, il Wa
accomplished i'll just six and
half hours, the job having been su
pervised by Foreman Arthur Har
trampf, who, the captain thinks, mus
be an expert in his line. -

THE CASE WE'LL PROVED.


In his 5000 word speech at Baton
Rouge Governor Sanders cited rec
ords and figures galore to prove that
his administration had been an i'm
proyeynrnl over those of his prede-
cessors and that he has fulfilled his
platform pledges az Aeqar1ly as it was
possible to do.
Judge Thos. Lewis Of st. Landry,
Representative L. e. Thomas OF
Caddo, and REPRESENTATIVE j. S. Al
Nnson Of Liacola also quote records
and figures to demonstrate thai lile
governor has failed to keep any Of
his prediction premises and that
his administration is the most ex.
travasanl I'D costly the state has
had since the aayg Of reconstruc'
ton
Judging by TIE facts and figures

orable disputants.- for they are all
honorable men '-bota sides of the
case seem TO be we'll proved.
