lie New Eighth District Organization.
We are informed by Mr.. A. w.
Newlin, of New Orleans, secre-
tary of the State Executive Com
mittee, that the Congressional
committees of the various Con-
gressional Districts out of which
the new Eighth Congressional
District was formed, will be
authorized and requested to meet
at Alexandria or some central
point, at once, and order a pr-
mary election for the nomination
of a Congressman in the new
Congressional district, composed
of the parishes of Avoyelles,
Grant, Rapides, Natchitoches,
Winn, Sabine, LaSalle a n d
Vernon.
At the same time members of
the executive committee for the
newly created district are to be
ordered elected and in that way
the party machinery for the dis
trict is to be put under Roadway.
This is an important matter in
which there is a great deal of in
terest not only in the new dis
trict, but throughout the State.
1t is hoped that all of the COM
mittees concerned in the districts
out of which the new district was
carved, will act in a prompt man.
ner, as the time is very short in
which to straighten out the tan
gle caused by the creation of the
new district.
Capt. C. H. Teal, chairman of
the Seventh Congressional dis
trict, being the most centrally
located, has issued a call for the
members of the various Congress
sional committees concerned to
meet in the city of Alexandria at
3 p. M, on Monday, July q,
to arrange all of the neces-
sary details to put the party ma
chinery in operation. In view of
the shortness of the time in which
action is to be taken, it is hoped
that persons interested will make
use of the telegraph and tele-
phone in notifying the members
of the various committees to be
present, either in person or by
proxy. The formal notice for
the committees to assemble in
Alexandria will be found among
the advertisements in this issue
of the Chronicle.

The prospect for good crops in
Grant parish is said to be better

There is some complaint of too

crop prospects are very good.

Geography of Presidents.
1t has been about sixty-four
years since Virginia was the
mother of a president, but she
is going to take up again her old
occupation of furnishing the
country with its chief executive.
For Woodrow Wilson will be
elected in November. 1t is so
written in the book Of political
destiny.
In a way Mr.. Wilson is a COM
posite citizen; for, besides his
native State. he has lived in
North Carolina, Georgia and
New Jersey. That he was a
good citizen everywhere is proved
by the fact that each of these
States is laying partial claim to
him as a son. But Virginia hav-
ing horned" him will write him
in her list of president-sons.
Her roster runs: Washington,
Jefferson. Madison, Monroe, Har-
rison, Tyler and Taylor.
The geographical origin of our
presidents is interesting as a
study of sections and their vary
ing influences on publicquestions.
During the formative period of
the republic it was Virginia and
Massachusetts, that contributed
the chief official to the govern
ment. 1t was not until the sew
enth president that the election
got away from these two sections.
Next to Virginia Ohio has been
the presidential mother with the
largest number of sons. Her
list numbers six: Grant, Hayes,
Garfield, the second Harrison,
Mckinley and Taft.
North Carolina and New York
have each given three presidents.
Those from the former were
Jackson, Polk and johnson. AL
though born in North Carolina,
it is a strange coincidence that
each of these men had become
Tennesseeans and went to Wash
ington from this State.
New York's contributions are
Van Buren,, Fillmore and Roose-
welt; Fillmore falling heir to the
unexpired term Of his chief,
Zachary Taylor.
New England, claiming to be
the intellectual hub of the coun-
try, has produced only four chief
officials, all told. Of these, Mas
sachusetts gave the elder and the
younger Adams; New Hamp-
shire gave Franklin Pierce. and
Vermont Chester A. Arthur.
New Jersey is represented by
Grover Cleveland, Pennsylvania
by James Buchanan, and Ken
lucky by Abraham Lincoln.
These are the geographical
bearings" of the men who have
served the country as chief ex-
ecutives. In November t h e
choice will again lie between
Virginia and Ohio as the next
mother" and, as was said
above, Woodrow Wilson will be
Virginia's eighth son at the head
of the government. Commercial
Appeal.

There are Reformers and Reformers.

Representative I. 0. Hart ia
vors the Chronicle with a letter
this week, and gives us the pleas
ing information that the so-called
''ringsters" in the Louisiana Sen
ate saved the Pineville asylum
for the insane from being cut out
of a badly needed 500, 600 appro-
priation. Mr.. Hart has found
out that it isn't every man that
bowls for reform" that is a re-
former from patriotic motives.
About nine out of ten professed
reformers would not know a re-
form if they met it in the road.
The term Ring is always ap-
piled to the crowd that gets elect
ed. And so friend Hart is now
in the Ring, and has been acting
and voting with the Ring. Well,
joy go with him; he is a pretty
good sort of a fellow, and we be-
lieve he is made out of the right
kind of stuff. We have stood
right here and seen about a doz-
en- Rings come and go, and they
are all pretty much the same.

tertainers. particularly Kate Eenore ana
Sam Williams, and the Shillings are
thrilling sharpshooters.
The headline feature for the coming
week WIN be Mcintyre and Heath, the
most famous blackface character actors
that have ever appeared on any stage.
For thirty years these men have APP
reared before the public, and, except for
two years, while the stars OF big mu-
steal extrava ganza. they have been in Va
riety Ministries and vaudeville.
