EDGARD HIGH SCHOOL

! The athletic meet of last Sun
day proved to be very interesting
and enjoyable one for the large
crowd in attendance. The teams
from LaPlace, accompanied by a
number of their friends and teach
ers, spent the entire day with us.
The first and principal game of
the day took place at eleven
O'Clock, when our boys played the
team from LaPiace at basketball.
The Edgard team easily outclas-
sed the visitors at all stages of the
game and defeated them by the
decisive score of Is too.
Two games at tug of war fol,
lowed, both being captured by
the visitors who had an advan-
tage over our boys of 40 pounds
by weight. The teams from both
schools then assembled in the au-
ditorium where they were served
a lunch daintily prepared by a
number of our patrons and pupils.
The features of the afternoon
consisted of two games of New
comb. The first was played be-
tween our girls and the team from
LaPlace. and although we lost the
game we were delightfully."- sur
prised at the creditable showing
made by our team considering the
small amount of practice before
the game.
The last event of the day was a
game between LaP Place and Ever
green, the former winning by a
score of 6 to 5.
Through the kindness of Mr..
Caire, who donated the hard oil
and Mr.. Nagel who applied the
same for us to the laboratory ta-
BILE and case lately installed the
appearance of our science room is
greatly improved.

Columbia Plantation.

A drive through its fields, q
visit through its refinery, and one
leaves Columbia plantation
with the happy knowledge that he
has been ON one of the finest
sugar estates in Louisiana.
Second to rome" he may well
say. This beautiful hacienda,
known far and wide in ante-bel-
lum days as the Marmillion plan
tation, is situated in this parish,
within five minutes walk of the
thriving little burg of Edgard.
| On my arrival there | met that
genial gentleman, Mr.. J. B. C.
Graugnard, under whose direction
Columbia, has grown and pros
pered. It was in the early nineties
that he took charge. Columbia
then was far from what it is to-
Gay, the sugar house was anti
fquated and Mr.. Graugnard was
confronted with enough Difficult
ties to make the average man
throw up his hands in despair.
Not so with him.
| He realized his task from the
beginning and set to work to
accomplish his purpose. The
result Of his unquestioned ability
and untiring energy is magni-
ficent sugar estate: fields in
perfect condition and a refinery
which is the pride of it's owners.
Messrs. Caire and Graugnard,
and the admiration of all who
visit it.
! After a hearty welcome, Mr..
Craugnard gave me carte blanche
to go and find out all / wished to
know about his sugar jewel" !"
and collected some quite interest
ing data. In the field | met Mr..
George Webre, the field Marshall.
Mr.. Webre was very busy. but
not too much so to courteously
answer my questions. He is well
versed in all the inricacies of
cane culture.
Mr.. Webre's able assistant is
Mr., Anicet Roussel. The cane
crop on Columbia was devastated
by the Hymelia crevasse. hence
| the quantity of cane set down for
seed.
On my return from the field,
| visited the refinery, a marvel of
up-to-dateness and cleanliness.
That well known gentleman. Mr..
Stanley P. Haydel. of Edgard,
is chief engineer here, and the
admirable condition of every piece
|of machinery reflects great credit
upon his ability. An Improvement
this year is a new dynamo and a
new 9-foot vacuum pan. Messrs.
Placide Barre and Victor Wagues-
pack are the assistant engineers.
Columbia is equipped with a
Krajewski crusher and a 6 roller
Reading Mill. The crushing capa-
city is 1000 tons. The Deming sys-
tenn ofsuper-heat Qualification and

double effects of 16O, 900 gallons

demands in the way of a program, The
result is company OF star singers and
musicians and program of the best
Hawaiian and most popular English
and American ballads for presentation
at the Opera House tomorrow night
The hula dance performed by Miss
Anchila in Australia with beautiful
scenic effect typical of Hawaii, accom-,
panied by the sweet strains of the
mandolins and guitars, created much
enthusiasm and the quaint way In
which the performance was rendered
brought forth well deserved applause
In this respect the Daily Mail Of
Brisbane said: "The entertainment Ii
indeed something refined, unique ant
novel, and decidedly charming"
These singers have been appreciated
wherever they have appeared and i

modate the crowd that is always an
xious to hear the raptuously beauti
full music rendered by the Kaai com
