The Al Bartlett Film Company,
located at 217-1S Rhode building,
Atlanta, Ga, are the first people to
make a special feature moving pic
ture without single white man to
appear in the whole picture.
Their first production is called "A
Cow Puncher's Mistake" with
such lends in the cast as Tillie
johnson, Edward Dorsey, /. w.
James, Alfred Gramma and l..
Janaux and forty others. 1t is
the intention of this firm to make
regular releases every week as soon
as it is found out how this one will
take. Should the project prove a
success then of course, a regular
stock company of colored players
will be organized. The heads of
the Bartlett Film Company say
ttey have felt the proper demand
for Negro pictures for some time
and now present the first release

Hon. Edward N. Pugh called atten-

had sounded the keynote for flood

that the Mississippi river is a national
highway, and the government should
take charge of and administer that
highway.
On motion of r. N. Sims, a vote

Death of Miss Marie Flandry.

1t was with profound sorrow that
the many friends here of Miss Marie
FIandry received the sad tidings of
her untimely demise, which occurred
at $3.50 o'clock last Sunday afternoon
at the home of her brother, L. A.
Flandry, Jr., in Labadieville, where
she had been residing for several
months. Miss Flandry, who was an
exceptionally prepossessing and ac-
complished young woman, was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Elan
dry, of this city, and for some time
was employed as an operator in the
local exchange of the Cumberland
Telephone Company. Of gentle and
lovable disposition, ever willing to
be of service and to do kindness,
she endeared herself to her assoei-
ates and all who had the pleasure of
knowing her, and deep indeed is the
grief occasioned by her passing away
at SO youthful an age-twenty-five
years--in the very bloom of her
young womanhood and at a time
when life was at its brightest and
promised so much of happiness and
pleasure.
Funeral services were held in the
T4abadieville Catholic church at 8
o'clock Monday forenoon and inter-
ment was made in the family tomb
in the Plattenville Catholic cemetery,
the obsequies being largely attended
and of a most impressive nature.
Rev. Father Ravoire, Of Labadieyille,
officiated at the church and grave,
and the floWer-covered casket was
borne to its last resting place by ten
young ladies, members of the So
eiety of the Children of Mary, of
which organization deceased had
been a faithful member throughout
Ter life.
Besides her devoted parents, Miss
Elandry leaves to mourn her loss
hree brothers. L. A., Fred. and
Henry FIaniry. The warm heart of
he community beats in sympathy
With these afflicted ones in their
treat grief.

A RIGHTEOUS RESULT.

Charges of criminal libel were pre-
ferred on the complaint of DR.. w.
r. Dodson, director of the state ex-
pertinent station at Baton Rouge,
against E. o. Bruner, commissioner
of agriculture and immigration, and
J. E. Halligan, former chief chemist
at the state experiment station.
The prosecution was based on ale
cations that Messrs. Bruner and Hal
ligan had grossly impEgned the char
acter Of DR.. Dodson by statements
that he was incompetent and dis
honest; that he padded his accounts
and was guilty Of grating: and that
he appropriated to himself half of the
salary of 500 a month allotted on
the payrolls to a certain employee
of the experiment station.
The cases were brought to trial in

THE DONALDsONVILLE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE.

The organization of the Donaldson
vile Chamber of Commerce, which
was effected on the 2Sth ultimo as
fully reported elsewhere in today
Chief, will mark a most important
epoch in the history Of this commu-
nifty if our people give the movement
the cooperation and support it's char
acter and objects deserve.
fhe officers are first-class, the
board of directors Representative and
the possibilities of the organization
almost unlimited. What is needed
now is money to carry OIL the work
of advertising the resources and ad-
vantages of the city and parish and
attracting the population, capital and
industries essential to the develop
ment of these natural and latent re-
sources.
A fund Of $4,000 is proposed as a
reasonable sum for the first years
operations of the chamber, and it is
believed such beneficial results can
be accomplished with this amount as
to convince even the most skeptical
and pessimistic that the organization
is an invaluable acquisition and the
best paying public service proposition
extant.
Every business and property inter-
est should come to the front and sub
scribe literally to the Chamber of
Commerce fund without waiting, to
be approached. Community cooper
alton is what we need, and if it ism t
now We will be open to the
charge Of having fallen into rut of
inertia and encouragement and be-
ing too short-sighted and INDECENT to
help ourselves out of it.

local drayman, to sprinkle the two
paved streets, Railroad avenue and
Mississippi street, every morning and
afternoon, provided the use of the

free of charge. AS compensation for
his services, Mr.. Landry is securing
from business men and residents of
these two thoroughfares weekly con-
tributions of cash in small amounts.
The dust has always been particularly
disagreeable along the paved Streets,
and two sprinkIings a day will do
much to abate the nuisance and add
to the comfort and physical well-be-
ing of those living in the neighbor-
hood. n
