BAYOU LAFOURcHE RISING.
Back Water from Hymefia crevasse,
Pouring Into Bayou Through God
chaux Canal at Raceland, Causes
Rise of Several Feet in Past
Week.

AS a result of the flood water from
the Hymelia creVasse which is pour
ing into Bayou Lafourche through
the drainage and transportation can
ais entering that stream at it's low
er end, there has been rise Of
about six feet in the bayou at this
point during the past week, and the
water is coming up at the rate OF
half an inch every hour. Most of
he crevasse water is finding its way
into the Lafourche through the God
chaux canal at Raceland, which is a
waterway so feet wide, located forty
miles from this city.
Commenting on the rapid rise IN
the bayou from this source, Capt. V.
Maurin, president Of the Lafourche
Basin Levee Board, points out that
| the situation constitutes a justifica-
ZION of the action taken by that
board in ordering the closing OF the
| Cancienne canal on the west bank
| of the bayou in Assumption parish.
| This canal is 125 feet wide and IS
| only 20 miles from Donaldsonville,
and, as Capt Maurin points out, II
the Godchaux canal, SO feet in width
and 40 miles away, can empty suffl-
Gent water into Bayous4 Lafourche to
| cause a rise of six feet in less than
week at Donaldsonville, what would
nave been the result as regards the
stage of water in the bayou had the
| Cancienne canal, more than twice as
wide and half the distance away
been permitted to remain open. Al
the time the Cancienne canal was
closed, the back water from the Tor
ras crevasse was rising steadily, anG
d vast. volume of this water was
then finding its way into Bayou La
fourche through the canal.
i Capt. Maurin expresses the opinion
that the emptying of the aymells
liood water into Bayou Lalourcht
will cause that stream to overflow it,
banks in the lower Lafourche coun
try, resulting in the inundation Of !
large acreage of fertile land and I'M
! inense property loss. As is the cas-
N all along Bayou Lafourcle, the leyee
u on both banks have been cut dow
IN numerous places since the baao'
was damned at this city in 1903, AM
there is no measure of protection
against overflow, the possibility neQ
r. having been considered of suffi
sien1 water entering the bayou iron
crevasse on the river to cause tn
, former stream to reach a flood level
At this end Of the bayou tn
land is much higher than at tn,
lower end, and there is absolutel,
10 danger Of the water backing u
and reaching a stage high enough t
cause it to overflow

Death of Mrs. E. j. Duhon.

After an illness of four months,
Mrs. E. ]. Duhon, nee EvelineE Braud,
passed away at 1890 o'clock p. N.
yesterday at the home Of her broth
er, Rosemond Braud, in the fifth

years. The funeral took place this
morning, the remains being brought
TO Donaldsonville on the 1890 O'Clock

manager of the Alhambra plantation
IN Iberville parish, which position he
had filled with signal ability for
fourteen years. He is now cultiva-
ting a tract Of land for his own &C
count in the vicinity Of Port Allen,
and some weeks ago, when the back
water from the Torras creyasse
flooded his property. he and his
wife came to Ascension to visit Mrs.
Duhons brother, Rosemond Braud,
and it was at the latter's home near
Crevasse Settlement that the final
summons came to Mrs. Duhon shortly
after noon yesterday.
Besides her heart-broken husband
and brother, Mrs Duhon is survived
by four children, Messrs Emile, Paul
and Clarence and Miss Lena Duhon,
lie two first-named sons being mar
lied.
The sorrow zoccasioned by the I'M
! timely demise of this estimable
young woman is shared by a wide
circle of friends and acquaintance,
who unite in extending profound sym
pathy to the grief-stricken family.

3. j. Vega to Attend Democratic Ma
tionaI Convention.

The tragic death of Congressman
Robert G. Wickliffe will have the eff
feet of changing the complexion OF
the Louisiana delegation to the ma
tlonal convention Of the Democratic
garty to be held at Chicago next
3nonth Mr.. Wickliffe was one OF the
delegates to the convention from the
sixth district, and was supporter OF
Speaker Champ Clark. The alter
nate delegate for Mr.. Wickliffe is =.
j. Vega, of this city, who is support
ing Hon. Woodrow Wilson for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
After the election of delegates TO
The nominating convention by the
Democratic state convention IN Balon
rouge on the 4th inst. it was stated
that the Louisiana delegation stood
II for Clark and fer Wilson, but II
is now claimed that this was a ms
take, one of the delegates accredited 70
clark having subsequently been founo
10 be a Wilson supporter. II this IS
the case, the delegation would nave
stood / / for Clark and 8 fer wilson,
and now that the late Mr.. .W1ckilffe.
Il Clark adherent, is to be succeeded
by Mr.. Vega, a Wilson supporter, the
lineup will show tie, 70 to 10.
A despatch from Baton Rouge
appearing in yesterdays Picayune
stated that e. P. Major, Of New
Roads, Pointe Coupee parish, will at
tend the Democratic convention as
alternate for Congressman Wickliffe,
the assertion being made that Mr..
Mayor was elected as Mr.. Wlckliffe, $
alternate. This claim has caused
much surprise here, 1t being gen
orally understood that MIR. Vega had
been elected as alternate for Mr..
Wickliffe in the district caucus held
at Baton Rouge prior to the meeting
Of the state convention. Now that
Congressman Wickliffe has been re
| moved by death, Mr.. Vega has made
plans to attend the national conyen-
| ton in his stead. 1t is his under
/ standing that he was named alter
nate delegate for Mr.. Wickliffe, and
| this contention is said to be borne
out by the statements Of the Ascen-
sion delegates to the state convention
who participated in the sixth district
caucus.

Reunion at Mt. Pleasant.

There will be held on Wednesday,
July 31st, at Mt. Pleasant church,
near Ehrhardt, an educational rally
in the nature of a reunion of stu
dents and ex-students of Newberry
college. The reunion is but one of
several that are held annually in the
territory from which Newberry draws
patronage. Until this year this re-
union was included in the Orange
burg reunion, but it was decided last
year at Cameron that the boys Of
Bamberg, Ba-nwell, Hampton, Col
Teton and other adjacent counties
should hold a reunion. There is.a
great number of Newberry boys re-
siding in these counties, and great
day is expected.
The main object of the meeting is
to promote the cause of Christian
education, but feature Of the day
will be the meeting of old chums and
classmates, and the recalling Of col
lege experiences that have lain hid
den in the deep recesses Of the mind
only to be recalled through per-
sonal contact. Some of the fore.
most educators of the State will de-:
liver inspiring addresses. DR.. j..
Henry Harms, president of Newberry
College, will be present. Other,
names will be announced later.
Let all those who have ever at
tended Newberry college, all Of those
who have ever heard of Newberry
college, and all of those who are In.
terested in the cause of Christian
education come. A large picnic dim
ner, such as only the good ladies Of
Ehrhardt and vicinity know how
to prepare, will be served on the
grounds. Some stirring yells under
the leadership of "Big Fender" will
be given. We want the "make-good"
spirit of Newberry college to prevail.
The speaking will begin at IL a. m.
