Meeting Of Sugar Planters.

Pursuant to call, q meeting OF
sugar planters and other citizens
of Franklin and vicinity was held
this 23rd day Of April, 1918, ct the
Court House In franklin, La,
with Mr.. S. T. McCardell, ST., as
chairman, and John G. Lewis, as
secretary.
Mr.. McCardell, who had called
the meeting, stated as its object
the raising of funds for the guard
ing of the Mississippi levees. He
informed the meeting that the
levees were in the best of condi.
ton, and that, in his opinion,
they ought to stand the strain to
which they are sure to be subject.
ed. At the same time he thought
they should be vigilantly guarded,
and that to do this, funds, i'm.
mediately available, should be
provided. He thought that from
$500 to 500 would answer for the
present. The Police Jury, he
said. had appropriated an amount
not to exceed $500. conditionally
on the other parishes interested
appropriating IN equal amount.
This not being now available, and
the need for money being urgent,
subscriptions from those present
were asked, and, in q few nom.
ents, the sum of $500 was raised.
There was considerable discuss
sion as to the Police Jury appro-
priation, and q motion was finally
made, by Mr.. w. A. C'Niell, that
the president of the Police Jury
be asked to call . special meeting
of that body, for the purpose, if
possible, of getting It in better
shape. This motion was carried
and the secretary instructed to ask
that the meeting be called, he, in
turn, to notify all interested par.
ties of the time and place. Mr..
Frost, the President of the Police
Jury, who was present, stated
that he did not think q larger sum
than 800 would be contributed
unless the other parishes increased
their appropriations. Il they did
he was authorized to equal such
appropriations, provided the total
did not exceed $500. He offered
to turn over 500, but is not in
favor of calling another special
meeting, as one had already been
held for this identical purpose.
His offer was declined, the amount
being considered entirely made.

FRANKLIN, La, April Gath, 1918.
Mr.. John c. Lewis, Franklin, La.
DEAR SIR:-I have your favor
of the 23rd, relative to the meet.
ing of that date held by a number
of sugar planters at which q re-
solution was passed asking that
special meeting Of the Police Jury
be called at once for the purpose,
if possible, of having it's appro.
priation for guard duty on the
Mississippi levees increased to
$500 and making it Immediately
available.
Replying, I beg to say that a
special meeting of the Police Jury,
a copy of the minutes of which /
attach, was held April 10th, and
the matter of appropriating funds
for the purpose of guarding and
patrolling the levees of the Missis.
sippi was discussed fully and the
Police Jury at that meeting stated
exactly what it proposed to do.
Mr.. S. T. McCardell was present
at that meeting and is fully in
formed as to it's proceedings. He
also presided, l believe, at the
planters meeting of April 23rd,
and was in q position to explain
clearly to the others present, the
position taken by the Police Jury.
At the planters meeting, as you
know, and in accordance with the
action of the Police Jury, l offered
to turn over to these gentlemen
500, to be followed by further
amounts, if like amounts were
donated by the other parishes
interested. This offer was refused
and q special meeting of the Po-
lice Jury demanded. In view of
the fact that the Police Jury has
already taken action and has
clearly defined its position, and
as the water conditions. in so far
as they affect the Parish of St.
Mary, have not materially
changed since such action was
taken, l must respectfully decline
to call another special meeting of
the Police Jury.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) CHAs. N. FROST.

or faint. hearted. It is true that

great odds, but 1t is equally true
that great battles for principles

The hasty action of the National

unrighteousness and utter injus.
tice Of an act sought to be done
under the forms of law to q great

We feel that the appeal will not
be made in vain. We hope, ct

with undue haste as q prejudiced
mind acts; that it will study con-
siderately the right and the wrong
Of the question presented, and
will give . full and complete
hearing to those vitality affected
before rendering judgment. We
believe that the Senate will do
this; and II 1t does, We are conf.

Just think-three weddings next week!
1t seems TO me that it's just weddings, we'd
dings, weddings, nowadays.
Well, the first is on Monday afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock, when Miss Ellen, or Nell,
Fletcher, as she is known to us all, will be
married to Lionel Smith Gordon, of Dublin,
Ireland
This will be of International interest, too.
The details for the wedding were necessarily
kept in the background until the marriage
at the White House was over, but there has,
nevertheless, been much pre-nuptial enter
tanning for the daughter of the Senator from
Florida
The Senate will adjourn for the wedding
which takes place in All Souls Church, as
the House did for the wedding of the Presi
dents daughter. The bridegroom is the son
of Sir Lionel Smith-Gordon, of Alderholt
Lodge, Salisbury, England.
Crosby Noyes and John William Thompson
on Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock in ST.
Thomas Church. And the other is that of
Helen Huntington Downing and Lieut..
Com. Hugo Osterhaus, u. S. N, on Thurs
day, at 4:3O o'clock.
Just think, three afternoon weddings in
one week!
Do you know that the little daughters of
the Postmaster General and Mrs. Burleson
are clever seamstresses? They wore the
most becoming and beautiful frocks to the
White House wedding which they had made
themselves.
Another particularly interesting debutate
will be Ethel Rose, daughter OF Dr. and Mrs.
Wycllffe Rose. Dr. Rose is head of the
Carnegie Sanitary Commission and he is a
prominent scientist. Ethel is making her
debut in the new way" which is becoming
more popular all the time. She does not
want to be entirely out of things, and yet she
wants to finish her college course at VaSsar.
When she comes home at Christmas she
will make debut at a large reception which
her mother will give and then she will re-
turn to school,

Hughes, of the Supreme Court, and Mrs.

will be a big tea, when all the returning
women of the Congressional set will meet
1t is the finest place in the world for woman
to meet her new colleagues. There will be
flowers and music and everything to make It
pretty.
The biggest thing on the program is, OF
course, the reception in honor OF the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson on December II at
$50 o'clock, and there will be dances for
the daughters of the members during the
winter, and nice teas with interesting pro-
grams every Friday, and everything else to
make one want to join. In fact Susan, |

of Senators and Congessmen can afford not
to belong.
Among the charming things planned for
the winter which want you to attend IS the
series of musical talks, in the drawing rooms
of prominent hostesses and extending over
several weeks Laura Harlan, daughter of
the late Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court and Mrs. John M. Harlan, has carried
the arrangement to success, and Mrs. Henry
F. Dimock will give the use of her large ball
room for the first musicale. DR.. Harold RAN

tory of Music, originated the delightful
method of explaining the work of musicians

course; even the most fowery account in
them was not an exaggeration. There were
flowers by the ton. Orchids OF every kind
and hue were just scattered about like they
we're daisies; then there were so many An
nunciation lilies that wonder if there are
any more left anywhere for any other bride.
And talk about American Beauty roses! The

not quite make up my mind which was the
sweetest perfume, that of the lilies or the
roses. On Thanksgiving Day all these flowers
were sent to the various hospitals, by spe-
cial request of the bride. Oh, she was so
pretty! Her complexion is so pretty any way,
and she was particularly radiant as she
marched up the aisle with the President
saw SO many folks at the wedding that
you know! General and Mrs. Wood came in
about the same time that | did. Mrs. Wood is
quite recovered from her recent illness, and
the general was able to walk with but .

The little Daniels boys we're there with
the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Dam

place, they wandered off to inspect things,
Josephus becoming deeply interested in the
uniforms Of the foreign diplomats, and when
the time for the ceremony came they were
off in another part Of the room from their
parents. They had got rather far back, and
it was impossible for them to see much, il
anything, and one of the male guests lifted
tine youngest one up so he could see, but the
other two were not so fortunate. During the
reception some one asked Josephus how he
liked the wedding, and he said that he could
not see thing, but it sounded fine, and if
you really wanted to know about it, ask his
brother, who was the lucky member of the
family and got lift in life at one of the
