1t seems as though this parish,
and especially this city, will
never have one days rest ovor
politics. There is already con-
siderable talk about the coming
election for Mayor and members
of the Board of Aldermen, which
is sche luled to take place some
times in January, 1914.
One or two of the present
Board of Aldermen have already
made their intentions plain, and
have decided to run once more.
Whilst there are already two
contenders for the Mayors job.
The present encumbent, May
or E. L. Loeb, will be running
to succeed himself. whilst, it is
generally understood that DR..

on his record as Mayor, whilst

The Sa1suma Oranges A Money Maker.

Rosa, La, Sep. 4. 1915
There is not fruit grown in South
West Louisiana, to day, which is near
the equal of the Satsuma oranges as
amoney maker.
| have visited almost every Satsuma
orchard which | have heard of within
forty or fifty miles of this place, and
I have found all of the growers of
this most excellent fruit highly
enthused over the splendid success
which has crowned their labor.
One grower told me that his little
Satsuma orchard was paying him four
hundred times as well as his cotton
crop and he had one hundred and
fifty acres in cotton, and less than
one half acre in Satsuma orange
trees. Another with two hundred
acres in cotton, and less than one
sixteenth Of an acre in Satsuma
orange trees, said that if he had ten
acres in the Satsuma orange he would
not lose any sleep, if the bell Weevils
should eat his entire cotton crop for
he argued that if he had ten acres in
ten year old Satsuma trees he would
feel assured of a splendid income,
and some money to lay by for a rainy
day. Another said that his six year
trees planted twelve feet apart each
way had given him last season
$3.50 per tree.
Another said that his ten year old
trees planted ten feet apart each way
brought him over $500 worth of
oranges per tree last season.
], P. Goudeau, who took the first
premium here at the fair, has trees
twelve to fifteen years old planted
twelve feet apart each way which he
thinks will give him at least $500 to
$1,000 per tree this season.

ST. CHARLES COLLEGE
HAS OVER 100 BOYS
Grand Coteau College Opened Last Week With Over
100 Pupils From Every Portion Of The
State

st. Charles College, Grand
Coteau, on Wednesday of last
week opened up with over one
hundred students, who came
from every part of the state to
cast their lot with the eminent
Jesuit professors. There are
still more students coming in,
and by half-session, it is expect
ed that the number will have
swelled up to nearly one hundred
and fifty.
Grand Coteau, in the southern
portion of the parish, has the
best educational advantages of
any town in the state, outside of
New Orleans. With one College
for boys, two Converts for the
whites and one for the negro
girls that little village stands in
the foremost ranks of any educa-
tional centers in Louisiana.
With the College opening with
over one hundred students, and
the Sacred Heart Convent well
coming a large number of blush
ing young maidens, who arrived
in the sleepy village, on Friday,
Grand Coteau does not seem as
sleepy as it has been during the
past three months. In this little
town, of st. Landry, are educat-
ed young men and women who

Chachere Family the Is of August is
observed as the family reunion. On
this day all the members of the family

assemble at some appointed
place to celebrate.
This meeting commentaries the
anniversary Of their great grand
father Louis Chachere of France,
who came to America as an officer
with Bienville. The family is one of
the Oldest and the largest of the State.
One that had many noble men and
women in our front rank, and there
is still a large family in France and
many Of them are Noblemen, and
they can even trace their geneology
as far back as Louis VIII and XIV,
of whom they are defendants.
On the 25th day of August they
met at south Eunice woods and enjoy
ed themselves in true family style.
There were about two hundred and
seyenty-five members present, rep
senting Eunice, Opelousas, Crowley,
Vile Platte, Prudhomme, / o t. a,
Belview, Rayne, Lake Charles, Grand
Prarie, and New Orleans. Many moi

ing on account of Rail Road connect
ion being poor. The Crowley, Rayne
and Lake Charles people came on a
Special train.
In true remembrance of the old
custom, there was barbecue, coffee
lemonade, Of course bread and cakes
were plentiful.
After dinner President J. O.
Chachere called the family together
and after nice little talk th- follow
ing were elected officers for the en-
su ling year: Presiaen n t,
J. o. Chachere, reelected; Sr,.retary

being the two oldest members there
and Mr.. Lyons the oldest Batch and
Miss Carron the oldest "old Maid"
The Constant Chachere family was

the Board, with the exception Of
DR.. Shaw, will run for re-elec-

whilst it is rumored that Mr..

Sicily have not said whether or
not they would be willing to

is thought that they, too, will

There is no doubt that the
present administration has per-
formed it's duty. With heavy
odds against them they went
into office with a determination
of pulling the city out of debt.

another Meitz and Weiz Engine
For Plant.

The city on last Saturday pur-
chased for SIS, 600 worth of new
machinery for the already vastly
improved power plant, chief OF
which consist Of a new Meitz and
Weiz engine, a generator and
switch board.
The installation of the new
machinery will mean a saving of
over threee hundred dollars each
month more than the six hun
dred which the plant already
saves the city, every thirty days,
since the present administration
took charge of the affairs of the
city.
By using two oil engines the
old steam engine will be done
away with. As it is at present,
whenever there is need of more
power the plant has to have re-
course to the old steam engine,
which costs the city good price
10 operate, but as soon as the
other Meitz and Weiz engine will
have arrived, all this unnecessary
spending Of money will be ilimi-
mated.
Opelousas will then have one
of the most complete and up-to-
date power plants in the entire
state. Instead of being a heavy
burden on the city, it will great
ly assist it in getting it out OF
debt.

are destined to take a reading
role in the affairs of their state.
Both these institutions are fully
capable, and at the same the
same time are fully prepar-
ed to train the minds Of the sons
and daughters. not only of this
parish, but every parish in Lou
lsiana, for their struggle with
the outside world in after years.
Father Grace, the beloved
president of st. Charles, is very
optimistic over the prospect of a
splendid year, and he is deter
mined that the name of st Charles
will always rest upon the lips
OF the students, already enrolled,
as one of the greatest institutions
Louisiana ever had. He had
m d g up his mind to
make his College the College Of
the people of his state, and for
that reason he will make it pro-
gress with the progressive peo-
pie of Louisiana.
Homesickness is a thing of the
past with the boys, at present,
and they have already gotten
down to dard work, preparing
for the first monthly competi-
tons, which will soon be upon
them, and at the same time with
their eye on far away June.

RElORD ATTENDANCE
At HIGH SCHOOL
Local High School Opened Mon
day With Largest
Number Ever.

The st. Landry High School,
in this city, threw open its
nortals, on Monday last, to over
four hundred and fifty school
children. The first days at
tendance broke all previous rec
ords. and the school opened un-
der most favorable auspices.
Each day, since Monday, the
number has been increasing, and
Prot. Prescott feels confident
that the school will have a most
successful session.
The St. Landry High School is
the only public institution, for
the white children, in this city,
and many from the country take
advantage of the good school,
and are enrolled among the reg
ular and most industrious of the
students.
1t is expected that the Central
High School building will be COM
pleted within the next four or
five months, if the winter
months are not too severe, and,
then, the several hundred child
rem, who attend the high school
here, will be able to get plenty
of accommodation. The build
ing will be thoroughly fire-proof
and one of the finest in the state.
It will be able to accommodate
more than the present school
building and win be a living
monument to the city of Opelou-
sas.
It is not known at present if
the high school will be able to
run the necessary nine months,
but at the same time, it is hoped,
that Opelousas will be able to
raise sufficient funds to run its
school the necessary length of
time.

Hr. CoufYilliOn Thinks OpeIOusas Is q
Splendid Place.

Mr.. G. r. Courvillien, not Of
Avoylles parish, this time, but from
the cane growing country Of Iberia,
was in this city during the week,
representing the firm of Sims and
Giles, of Adeline, corn exporters.
He appointed Successfully, of this
city, as their representatives, and
departed on the o. Gee, Monday
evening, for Church Point and other
points on that railroad, with view
Of appointing agents. throughout
Acadia Parish.
Mr.. Courtvillion was at one time a
drummer, travelling through this
portion of the state. He was greatly
surprised at the prosperity of this city
despite the fact that the boil weav;;l
had infested this territory for the
last eight years. He said 4 used to
be drummer, and | remember when
Opelousas was a small town, doing a
world Of business in shipping Gotten
| thought that the cotton industry
here was on the bad, but am glad
to see that there is still good many
wagons adorning your streets, with
this splendid staple
0pelousas in his opinion is one of
the finest cities in this state.
Speaking on the tariff question,
he said: Though | am sugar cane
planter, myself, I am heartily in
favor Of free sugar. | think that
the country will prosper more, with
free sugar than it is now doing. It
will compel the farmers to diversity
his crop, and therefore enrich himself
and bis country"
The Sims and Giles mill at Adeline
has the capacity of 10000 bushels
per day. This firm will be able to
take care of all the corn which the
st. Landry farmers can send to them,
and they assure the corn planters
that they will pay top market prices
for this sereal.
St. Landry ought to be able to
furnish them with several thousand
bushels this year, as the corn crop
is much better, than for many years
past.

Judge Dupre Duly Elected
Representiye From st.
Landry.

Judge Gilbert L. Dupre was
duly elected the Representative
from this parish to succeed A. H.
Garland, who is now a resident
of the state of Montana, and is a
praticing attorney in his newly
adopted home state, on Tuesday,
Sept. 9th.
For some reason or other,
most probably as a joke, one per-
son voted for Henry Rabbit, a
negro. This was the only vote
cast against the Judge, in this
city, whilst the country went
solidly in his favor. 1t is
thought that it was good joke
to vote for the negro, but it is a
rather vile one to play, on such
an honorable and deserving citi-
zen as Judge Dupre.
Mr.. Dupre has already held
the office Of Judge Of the District
court for several years, and his
records are still there to show
that he performed his duty most
honorabIy. There is not the
least doubt that the newly elect
ed Representative will fight for
the rights of his parish. fearli-
lessly.
The Judge took the joke some
what seriously and he, indeed,
had reason to be offended, but it
is hoped that he will be made to
understand that it was not a
malicious act on the part of one
of the voters of this city.

Jumps" PREDICTIONS
ON The Big GAME

The Fans throughout the coun-
try,are fighting the Pennant
chances of Connie Mack and
tMugsy" McGraW.
The Giants are in great form
through the strength of their
mound artists and in a series of
seven games the Pitchers carry
the load.
McGraW is particularly well
entrenched behind the bat while
the Athletics are noticeably weak.
From the dope sheet the Giants
are 10 to 8 favorite.
The American League repre-
sentatives are managed by the
greatest strategist in either
league, never rabsled, always do
ing the unexpected, he is a dangs
erous man in any and OF every
crises.
He has built up the greatest
infeld ever known-not even ex-
cepting the Tinker to Evers to
chance" combination in the days
of Cub supremacy.
McGraw says He rather the
Cleveland team had won in the
American League,
He voices the mind of the
whole Polo Bunch.
IF you could see the cold ana
lytical Connie directing the play
of his team you would more
readily understand the fear he
inspires.
It requires nine innings to beat
him too and the question ever
remains-what will he do next? ?
When he beat the Cubs land
we may say He, advisably) the
records showed a slow conserva-
ton team, that worked for one
run, and depended on that to win,
that stole four bases and never
tried a spectacular stunt.
The Cubs feet, with their
wonderful infeld, this to be easy.
However the series was played
on altogether different lines.
The style of play was one OF
slam the ball on the nose and
run keep on running hit and
run-the cry was RUN-run
your head off.
What happened? The Cubs
were paralyzed-i it was a sight
for the gods every man on the
team had developed into q
| cobb. /" ;.
The result is history but il
proved that Connie Mack is n
eontrol-his team obeys--a n 9
for this reason "Umpo believes
that he viii win the requisite
games bo bring home the bacon,
even though McGraW is some
| General himself and with his
pitchers should win four out o1
five games.
From this angle it looks a
