The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1913-09-06

Oct. 10, II and u, and from the in
terest manifested it promises to be
a glorious success and to become a
permanent annual institution.
Mayor Walter Lemann appeared be-
fore the finance committee of the
police jury Wednesday and secured
the consent Of that body to recon-
mend an appropriation of $100 in aid
Of the fair. The police juries of st.
James, IberviIle, Assumption and La
fourche parishes will be asked to
budget similar appropriations, since
it is the intention to make the fair
an inter-parochial event in the full
est sense, and to have the exhibits
constitute a representative showing
of the resources and possibilities Of
this entire section of the statea from
an agricultural, industrial, CONNER
cial and educational standpoint. Pre-
miums will be awarded to the best
individual exhibit from each parish,
and to the best exhibits from all the
parishes.
There will be races and other
attractions each day of the fair, and
reduced rates will be offered on all
railroads.

Experiment Station for Donaldson
VILE

Much interest is manifested here
in the introduction of a bill in the
national house of representatives by
Congressman Lewis L. Morgan, of
this district, providing for an appro.
priation of $4,000 for the establish.
ment of an agricultural experiment
station at this city. The project
has the enthusiastic endorsement of
the Chamber of Commerce and citi-
zens generally, and a strong effort
will be made to secure favorable ac-
ton by congress on Mr.. Morgan's
measure.
In this connection it is pointed
out that Donaldsonville's accessible
1ty by water and rail renders it an
ideal location for an experimental
station which would afford the peo-
pie of large section practicable IA
cilities for familiarizing themselves
with Investigation Of crops and
scientific methods of cultivation.
Two of Ascension's bordering par
lshes, st. James and Assumptions, are
comprised within the limits of the
second and third congressional dis
tricts, respectively, and as Donald
sonville is SO situated as to be cas-
lily accessible to the farmers within
an extensive area of these districts,
their representatives in congress,
Messrs. Garland Dupre and Robert
F. Broussard, will be asked to CO.
operate with Congressman Morgan in
securing the passage of his bill.
Another point in Donaldsonville's
favor is that the land in this vicin-
ity is of an exceptionally rich and
fertile character, admirably adapted
to raising all of the many and varied
crops produced in Louisiana. Cane,
corn, cotton, rice and forage crops
of all kinds are in cultivation
throughout this section, while vege-
tables, fruits and berries are grown
on an extensive scale and with
profit.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1913-09-06
THE THIRD LOUISIANA
DISTRICT.

There is promise Of an extremely
interesting political contest in the
third congressional district of this
state next year, when a successor
to the present representative, Con
gresham Robert T. Broussard, is to
be elected.
The third district, where more SUI
gar is produced than in any otner
equal area in the United States, has
long been regarded as Mr.. Brous-
sard's personal political preserve and
reservation, so to speak, and as long
as he chose to be content with serV-
ing it's people in the lower house OF
congress. it was useless for anyone
else to apply for the job.
At the expiration Of his present
term, however, "Cousan Bob" as
the popular congressman is familiar
~ called, will be promoted to a seat
in the United States senate, leaving
an open field for such other third dis
trict citizens as may be possessed OF
the laudable ambition to represent
'tthe sugar-bowl Of Louisiana" IN con-
gress.
Several prominent Democrats are
accredited with this desire, first and
foremost among them being Hon.
Henri L. Gueydan of Vermllion par.
ish, who has announced that he VIII
abandon his erstWhile candidacy Tor
a place in the diplomatic service and
run for congress. Mr.. Gueydan IS
eminentIy deserving OF consideration
at the hands of the third district
Democracy, having demonstrated his
political fealty and his ability, high
character and forceful personality IN
various official and civic capacities
through a long term OF years.
The Republicans Of the third dis
trict are on the qui vive also, and
Chairman Jules Godchaux of their
district committee has issued a state
ment and appeal to the people in
behalf of the Republican party and
Eugene A. Pharr, who is said to nave
consented to accept the Republican
candidacy in 1914. Mr. Pharr is one
of the sons of the late Capt. John
N. Pharr, the sturdy old steamboat
man and planter who gave Gov. Eos
ter a neck-and-neck race for the gov
ernorship in 1896. The young man
is well educated, able and alert; fill
ed with civic pride and youthful am
bition. He and his family have large
property interests in the heart Of the
sugar region of the state, and he
could be relied upon to work early
and late, in season and out, for the
protection of sugar, rice and the
other industries of Louisiana.
In connection with the undeniable
personal merits of their. candidate,
the Republicans will naturally ring
the changes on the anomalous politi-
cal conditions with which the peo-
pie Of Louisiana generally and the
third district particularly are likely
to be confronted next year, and
strong appeal will be made for sup
port of the party that stands for the
protection Of American industries, in
Guiding sugar, rice, lumber and the
rest, as against the party that would
strike these Industries down, even to
the point of ruin and extinction.
Manifestly, there's going to be a
good deal doing in the third Loulsl-
ana district IN 1914.

Big Sale at kessler Bros.

Kessler Bros, of Belle Rose, who
operate one of the largest and best
stocked stores on Bayou Lafourche,
have issued posters advertising a
grand bargain sale to be held at

ginning Monday morning. The bar
gains offered challenge attention, and
every item quoted is a story of bet
ter goods for less money. That 81
worth of merchandise can be bought

FIRE AND At TEMPTED ARSON
Office of Standard Oil Company De.
stroyed in Early Morning Blaze
Attempt Made to Set Fire II
Building on Premises Of c. Mint.
ter-No Clue to cuIprit.


Fire at 4:30 o'clock Tuesday morn.
ing destroyed the one-story office
and storehouse of the STANDARD on
Company at the corner of st. Pat
rick and Division streets, together
with four barrels of coal Oil and d
quantity of gasoline, lubrieating oils
axle grease and other by-products.
that were stored within the building.
The local agent of the company was
preparing to leave on his regular trip.
with the tank-Wagon, and after go
ing into the office for certain sup.
plies had placed his lantern On the
floor and was in the act of filling
his wagon from a storage tank III
the yard when he noticed that the.
interior Of the office was in flames.
He hurriedly drove his team into
the street out Of danger, and then
returned to rescue a mule from the
stable on the premises and to close
the valve on the supply tank. By
the time the alarm was sounded and
the fire department reached the
scene the burning building was q.
mass of flames, and the firemen's
efforts were devoted to saving the.
stable on one side and a large dwell
ing, owned by Judge H. O. Maher. on
the other.
Coineident with the sounding of
the alarm for this blaze, discovery
was made of an attempt to set fire
to a warehouse on the premises of
G. Winter, in Railroad avenue. IS
five-gallon can of coal oil was found
near the building-Which is situated
in the center of the block, between
Mr.. Winters confectionery and ba-#
ker shop-and along side was a small
tin can which had evidently been
used to throw the oil from the larger
receptacle on to the side Of the
warehouse. The WhiteWashed wall
of the latter structure Wsas bespatter..
ed with oil for a distance of several
feet from the ground, and sack fill
ed with loose hay was lying nearby.
When the fire alarm was sounded
Mr.. Winters son and employees Of
mis- bakery, who were at work, ran
through the warehouse on their way
to the sidewalk and the presumpfion
is they scared away the Would-De m
eendiarist. There is no clue tome
identity of the culprit. A reward y
offered for his arrest by Mr.. Winter.

EXTRA SESSION OF THE GENER.
AL ASSEMBLY CALLED.

Governor Hall has issued a proc,
lamation, dated August rs, conVen
ing the ganeral assembly Of Loulsl
ana in extra gession for twelve days
from Sept. s to Sept. 10, and naming
the following four subjects for con.
sideration and action:
l. To adopt such legislation as
may be required to make provision
for the bonded debt of the state, ma.
turing Jan. [, 1914 and to call a con
stitutional convention if deemed nee
essary for that purpose.
2. To make provision for the re-
construction and enlargement Of the
State Training Institute, and within
the discretion of the general assem-
bly,, for its removal and re-establish-
ment upon more eligible site.
g. To make provision for the pay
ment of the mileage and her diem of
tie members of the general assembly
for attendance upon the extraordi-
nary session, Of the other expenses
OF said session, and of the cost OF
the constitutional convention, includ-
ing all expenses Of the election OF
the members and their mileage and
per diem.
4. To make provision for the filling
of vacancies in the United States sen
ate pending an election for that pur-
pose.
It is regarded as practically certain
that constitutional convention will
be called, as affording the only
means by which provision can be
made for the redemption and refund
ing of the bonded debt of the state.
The size of the convention and the
basis of representation are matters
to be determined by the general as
sembly. In view of the few subjects
to be handled and the necessity for
prompt action thereon, it would seem
desirable that the convention shall
not be a large body and that its
deliberations be confined to the few
est number of constitutional changes
possible, embracing only those Of
prime Importance and immediate ne
cessity.
The designation of the limits with
in which the constitutional conven-
ton may act is also a function OF. the
general assembly, and if the assem-
bly, declares that only that part Of
the state constitution appertaining to
the states bonded debt may be con-
sidered by the convention, the limita-
ton will be obligatory upon the lat
ter body
In like manner the general assem-
bly, IS restricted in extraordinary SEES
sion to legislation on such subjects as
are specified in the governors proc
lamation.

Sample Car of Gravel Received.

A sample carload OF gravel from
the pits of the Tioga Gravel Com
pany, near Alexandria, has been re,
eeived by the police jury and will be
used in constructing a section OF
graveled roadway at the lower end
of st. Patrick street. contiguous to
the Texas and Pacific freight de-
pot. This piece of street has always
been particularly difficult to main
tain IN good condition, and as con-
siderable heavy hauling is done over
it at all seasons OF the year, it will
afford practical test of the merits
OF the Tioga gravel in the construc-
ton of permanent, hard-surfaced high
ways. The sample shipment furnish
ed by the Tioga Company for DEM
onstration purposes is sufficient for
the building of about 80 feet of road
way.
