State Aid for Good Roads.

President Adolphe Meter Of the
police jury is in receipt Of the follows
ing communications:
ssNew Orleans. La, Feb. q. 1913.
Hon Adolphe Meter. President 20
lice Jury, Parish Of Ascension
'Dear sir:-The police jury OF
Ascension parish has had some cor
respondence with this department in
connection with applying for state
aid under Act No. 40 Of 1910.
st has been decided to apportlon
on Aug. /, 1913, the funds available
to the parishes that have qualified
by that date, and the purpose OF TINS
letter is to inform you of this fact
so your parish may lose no time III
getting in line for state aid.
"The principal requirements to
qualify are as follows:
al Is your parish financially able
to meet it's portion Of the cost OF
construction of the proposed high
ways?
"2. Mention the location and char
acter of the contemplated highways.
"3. In order to expedite matters,
forward to this department certi-
fled copy of resolution passed by
your police jury, requesting that sur.
veys Of the proposed highways be
made, and stating that your police
jury agrees to pay all expenses in
connection with the surveys, except
the salary Of the engineer in charge.
1T will be necessary for a repre-
sentative from this department to go
over the proposed line, and as there
are many parishes applying, it will
take some time to inspect all the pro-
posed projects, therefore you are re.
quested to forward all this informa-
ton as soon as you can.
"The department is anxious to CO.
operate with you in improving the
roads in your parish, and I assure
you we will do all we can. However,
should you fail to qualify before Aug.
i, 1913, your parish will have to wait
one year before it can expect to
receive any monetary aid from the
department.
Again, requesting you to lose no
time in Wihis connection, l am.
- "Yours respectfully,
t. t.W. e. ATKINSON,
State Highway Engineer"

Crop. Comment.

Another week Of perfect weather
mas been granted US, and much has
been done toward recovering some of
the time lost during the extended
wet spell. Flowing, ditching and
planting are proceeding apace under
the influence of the benign atmos-
pheric conditions now prevailing, and
at the rate of progress established
during the past fortnight it will not
be long before the planters will have
caught up with their delayed work.
In general, naught but the best
reports are heard concerning the
quality of the seed, and as the cane
put down in the fall has come up SUI
flciently to mark the rows and indi-
cate a fine stand, there is a feeling
OF contentment with the prospects for
good crop at the outset OF it's
growth. A large acreage will be cul-
tIVated, and everybody is counting
strong on bumper yield to effset
IN some measure the disastrous ex-
perences of the past two years.
However, in the sugar belt as
everywhere else, life is just one
damned thing after anotheri'' Now
that the weather man is at last on
MS good behavior, and the river is
falling, and the turn in the long
lane Of trial and tribulation seems
at hand, there is still grave cause for
concern-and that is, what is con-
gress going to do with the sugar tar

Death OF Mrs. Robert C. Chapman.
Widow Robert Craig Chapman, nee
| Louise Droege, a native and lifelong
| resident of Ascension parish, died
at $50 o'clock Monday night at her
nome in Port Barrow, aged fifty-three
years, ten months and fourteen days.
Mrs. Chapman's death was sudden,
resulting from a stroke of apoplexy
which seized her about o'clock as
she was bending over to wipe up
some milk that had been spilled on
the floor. She became unconscious
Immediately and did not regain the
power of speech, passing from gentle
s1umber into eternal rest some three
hours kter without the least tremor
or sign Of pain to mark the transit
ton From life to death. Funeral SER
vices were held at the Catholic
church at 4:30 O'Clock Tuesday aft
ernoon, Rev. Joseph Monteillard Of
ficiating, and interment was made in
the Catholic cemetery.
Mrs. Chapman was a woman Of no.
Bile character, kindly disposition and
gracious Manners true Christian
in every sense of the word No one
was more willing than she to aid
the suffering, cheer the Responding,
sustain the weak and throw the man
tie of charity and forhearance over
the frailties and foibles Of the less
fortunate Of Gods children, and
when sickness and death came to
her, as it comes to all, neighbors
and friends wed with each other in
acts Of loving kindness and express
sions Of comforting sympathy to those
SO sore1y bereaved by her untimely
passing away.
The immediate relatives left to
mourn her loss are sister, Miss
Katie Droege, of Cincinnati, and five
chilRen, namely: George Chapman,
engineer of the steamer Virgie; Rob-
ert Chapman, a machinist, of San
Francisco; Fred. Chapman, fireman
on the government steamer Hyacinth;
Thos. @. Chapman, a sterling young
citizen of Port Barrow, and Miss
Theresa Chapman, also of Port Bar.
row.
Words can not console the grief
stricken children and sister, but there
IS solace in the thought that their
precious one will never more suffer
pain or sorrow, but has gone to that
beautiful home beyond the skies,
free from the corroding cares
and troubles of earth, the good and
true are reunited latter Iife's fitful

ditiona1 10 cents per cubic yard for
some $500 yards of earth handled in
constructing an emergency wing from
the old levee to the new embanhment
at Southside, was read. Mr.. Martin
moved that the request be turned
down, and Mr. Viering seconded the
motion, but it was finally decided to
go further into the matter before TAX
ing action and Mr.. Martin consented
to withdraw his motion.
In accordance with authority given
him at a previous meeting, President
SWartz stated he would contract for
a dredge to cost about SCI, 900, to be
used by the board in building levees.
The machine will be of the most i'm
proved type, adapted to both orange
peel and drag line buckets, and will
be one of the largest and finest
levee-building dredges in use in this
section. The contract price does not
include an electric plant, tracks and
drag-line buckets, which will cost
something like $4,000, bringing the
total cost of the machine up to $685.
600. A barge will be secured later.
Other matters were discussed, after
which the board made an inspection
of the Bayou Lafourche dam. Seep-
age water is pouring through the
big barrier in large volume, and the
board is anything but satisfied with
the existing condition of the embank-
-ment Varinns- plans for strengthen
ing it have been outlined by the State
Board of Engineers, but as yet moth
ing has been done toward putting any
Of them into execution

PRIMARIES FOR POSTMASTER.

With the advent of the Wilson ad-
ministratton, Democratic sentiment
throughout the country is yeering
strongly in the direction Of the selec-
lion of federal officers, So far as
may be possible, through the medium
OF Democratic primaries.
This is III lineCWith Mr.. Wilson s
Oft expressed wish that the great
body Of the people shall rule in the
conduct of pubic affairs and in the
selection OF their public servants.
So strong has this sentiment be-
come that it recently found voice in
the Introduction Of q bill in the fed
elal congress which directs the selec-
ticn Of postmasters through primaries.
Pending the passage of this com
pulsory bill many cities have already,
by common consent, SO acted in the
selection of their postmasters. Mer-
ldian, Mississippi, recently led off
with a spirited preferential primary,
and ether cities throughout the south
are rapidly following suit.
Coming nearer home and in our
own congressional district, we find
Plaquemine and New Roads both
moving strongly in favor of the pri-
mary system.
This is both Democratic and pop
ular.
