A delegation composed of Capt.
R. W. Allen, Messrs. E. j. Tras-
tour and A. A. Delahoussaye.
from Florian Cornay Camp U. G.
v. appeared before the Police
Jury at its session last Wednes-
day, and r, quested that body to
assist their Camp in sending
delegation to the State reunion of
Confederate Veterans, which will
be held at Monroe on Oct. /, and
g. Cart. h. w. Allen, comman-
der of the Camp. in the course of
his remarks, stated in effect, that
St. Mary parish furnished eight
hundred soldiers in the Coufede-
rate States army, and of that
number there are only forty living
mem bers of Florian Cornay
Camp; that they are old and poor;
that it i, pleasure to them to
meet annually with their comrades
of fifty years age. and talk over
with them their experiences in
and memories of war. H. = tied
that tn" local Camp wanted to
send a DELEGATE on to Monroe, out
that they could not send it without
assistance. And that NJ knew
not where to get assistance, ex-
cept from tbs, Police Jury of the
parish, and if the members of the
jury could see their way legally
to do go. he respectfully requests
them to grant that assistance. AS
soon as Capt. Allen ceased speak
ing, the Police Jury unanimously
adopted a resolution approprtat-
ing one hundred and fifty dollars
for the purpose of paying the ex.
penses of delegation from
Florian Oornay Camp to the re.
union of Confederate Veterans at
Monroe. This action of our Po-
lice Jury will meet with general
commendation. We can have
these old soldiers with us only a
little while longer. In their young
manhood they fought in war the
good fight for the cause of their
State, and in peace, during their
declining years, have kept the
faith of oyalty to her honor.

The Police Jury has passed an
ordinance calling an election of
the taxpayers of the First Ward
of the Parish Of ST. Mary to vote
on the proposition whether or not
to allow the Southwestern Trac-
ton and Power Company a 8 1-2
mills tax for the purpose of build
ING and maintaining and operat-
ing a trolley line through said
ward, connecting with lines in the
other wards down to Berwick.
The third and fourth wards have
already voted tax for that pur-
pose. We earnestly hope that the
taxpayers of the first ward will
also vote the tax and thereby give
the people of this section con.
tiruous trolley line from New
Iberia to Berwick. When we
consider the incalculabie benefits
which this trolley line will afford
the quick travel to ard from the
townsville cAeapness of travel,
and If freight charges on local
produce, and withal the great
convenience of travel in good and
bad weather, we cannot under-
stand why our taxpayers should
refuse to vote the small tax. We
fee! Confident that they will not.
There is another inducement
which should cause the taxpayers
in the fir! ward to support the
tax The S nth western fraction

Sunday, September 14,h, for the
championship of the State of

lrusas on Labor Day for the

the general opinion tnat they are

the record they have made this
season, having won "a games and
lost s.
Lutcher will have strong line
up, as will be seen by the way
they broke the mighty Tom
Casey's long string of victories,

JEW DAVID.
BY VIM. ID. S.


He was a citizen of the city down
on the Congaree. He was vendeY
of jewelry and a slick talker. He
wheedled Brother Jim in buying three
hundred dollars worth of watches and
table ware. In few years he had
lot of brass and black spoons. Af-
ter the war his son came up to try
his hand at the peddling business. Be-
with his buggy, and threw David out
in the road, also his trunk of jewelry
was scattered along the road down
to the mill. | heard a noise like thun-
der and ran out to see the cause. 1t
was his horse running over the bridge
with the buggy We headed off the
horse. And soon we heard the most
terrible )amentation up the road, and
saw David coming bare headed
saying at the top of his voice: Oh. [
am ruined, al! my jewelry is gone! My
horse has torn up the buggy, and
bursted up my trunk and lost all my
goods" | called up Miller Woods and
we quieted down the boy, got up the
half bushel measures and went to
picking up his jewelry. We found it
on the bridge and in the road up to
where the trunk was stove up. We
got him a new trunk out of the store
and packed his stuff into it. He lost
but few pieces, that fell through the
floor of the bridge. We soon had him
on the road again, ready to sell our
people rs carct gold watches and
sterling silver spoons.

TREATMENT GIVEN

in Upper Part of County.
w. Ray Powers, state veterinarian,
has made an inspection of the area in
the upper portion of the county and
lower Greenville county in which so
many horses have died recently. The
veterinarian has suggested in a more
minute form about the same treat
ment given by Mr.. w. p Harris in
The Advertiser Of last week.
The directions are as follows:
Medical treatment is unsatisfac-
tory and practically useless in the ma
Jority of cases, as the central ner-
Vous system has usually undergone
degenerative changes before the symp-
toms develop. When the animal is
noticed before the ability to swallow
is lost, purgative should be given
Immediately. One OF. and a half of
OF warm water is probably the most
satisfactory although three quarters
OF a pound or one pound of Epson
salts (well diluted or one at. to one
be given. 1t Will be noticed that these
are larger doses than ordinarily re-
commended for horses or mules. If
animals have difficulty in swallowing
or are unable to swallow, drenching
is not to be attempted, as the drugs
Will pass to the lungs and cause a fa-
tai attach Of pneumonia in the ma
jority Of cases. Cathartics administer
ed hypodermically are far safer and
OF quicker action than those mention
ed above and if veterinarians are
available, their services should be Sc
cured Immediately. Where veterina-
rians are not available it is possible
that the local physician will admins
ter such cathartics. Heart stimulants
narcotics, ETC., are also indicated at
various stages of disease, but their
administration should be left to the
veterinarian. Posassium iodide in one
and half dram doses should be Civ
EN- twice daily as soon as the animal
is able to swallow. All horses and
mules on the premises should be Civ

Prevention.
DO not feed moldy corn or fodder.
If necessary to feed corn of poor
quality, this should be shelled and
poured into water before feeding
Most of the damaged kernels will
float and can be skinned off. The
balance should be mixed with other
grain if possible. Careful supervision
of the feeding of horses and mules
will prevent this disease"
