THIRD DISTRICT PROGRESSIVES
NOMINATE JUDGE MARTIN.

A very lively Progressive conven
ton was held at New Iberia last Sat
urlay for the purpose of nominating
a candidate of the new party for con,
gresham from the third Louisiana
district Large delegations were in
attendance from all the eight parish
es, and the supporters Of the -four
spirants-Judge Whitmell P. Martin
Of Lafourche, Sheriff Wilson T. Pc
ternan of ST. Mary, e. S. Broussard
of Iberia and Senator t. J. Liable OF
st. Martin-stuck by their respective
favorites through 11S ballots and un-
til after O'Clock Sunday morning,
when Judge Martin was declared the
nominee Oh the 10th ballot, recelV-
ing two mora votes than Mr.. Bfous-
Sard.
Eugene A. Pharr Of Iberia was
made temporary chairman of the con-
vention and Cleft Girard of Lafa-
yette temporary secretary. After the
report of the committee on creden-
tials had been adopted, permanent
organization was effected by the cleo
ton Of Hon. w. E. Howell Of La
fourche as chairman, Cleft Girard as
secretary, Gladson Allen of st, Mary
and Ralph Oliver of Vermilion as
assistant secretaries.
The first ballot, emitting fractional
votes, showed 81 for Broussard, IL
for Liable, IS for Martin and % for
Peterman, and there was little fluc-
tuation from these figures until
Senator Liable withdrew his name on
the ninety fifth ballot. Twelve Of
his votes went to Mr.. Broussard, and
the struggle continued until the
11Sth ballot, when Sheriff Peterman's
friends gave up the, fight and
swing of St. Martin votes gave
Judge Martin the nomination.
Two attempts were made during
the protracted session to stampede
the convention to Eugene A. Pharr,
but the movement was checked by
the emphatic announcement of Mr..
Pharr that under no circumstances
would he consent to such "a plan Or
accept nomination.
Notwithstanding the stubborn and
exciting character of the contest, all
the defeated candidates concurred in
the result and pledged their active
and loyal support to their successful
antagonist
Judge Martin is a gentleman of I'm
blemished reputation and fine ablli-
ties, who will do honor to his dis
trict and state if elected to con-
gress. With such admirable candi
dates as Judge Martin and Senator
Henri L. Gueydan to choose from,
the people of the third district can
we'll afford to choose between
them solely from political and party
considerations. If majority believe
that the principles of the Progress
sive party, which include clear-cut
declaration in favor of the reasonable
protection Of domestic industries
through the operations of the tariff,
are more conducive to the prosperity
and progress of the district, state and
country than are the policies of the
Democratic party as professed and
practiced by the present administra
ton, then personal interest and pa
triotism alike should impel them to
vote for the Progressive candidate
for congressman. If they hold the |
contrary belief they should vote for
Gueydan.
That's all there is to it. |
Free American citizens need do no
more than vote their honest convic-
tions; they should be ashamed to do
less.

Conference of Secretaries of Truck
Growers Associations.

What promises to be a most i'm
portant gathering will be held here
today when the secretaries of a
Citations in this section meet for the
purpose of exchanging ideas and TAX
ing preliminary steps toward perfect
ing a permanent organization.
Secretary Walter Lemann of the
local organization has received re-
plies from large number of the
secretaries, who have expressed their
intention of attending the confer
ence, and all are united in declaring
tie movement will be productive OF
good results.
One of the officers in replying to
the call for the meeting writes:
This effort on your part is certain
" very commendable. We can see
no other way Of making a real sue
cess of the truck business unless the
various associations will cooperate,
particularly in the shipping and mar
ketlng Of the product Another
writes: eve should have uniform
grading and packing rules and have
one marketing agency in the north
representing Us in all markets; this
would prevent us from shipping to
the same market" Still another
says: eve need cooperation not
only among farmers, but the co-opera
ton OF farmers with merchants, and
the cooperation of the country with
town and vice-versa. Such an organi-
cation as you contemplate will put
us in closer touch and naturally de-
Velop country and town.
In addition to the secretaries of
the truck growers organizations from
number of the parishes, there will
be in attendance at the conference
Messrs. R. R. Claridge and E. P.
Gueymard of the Texas & Pacific
agricultural and immigration depart
nents, and w. E. Ellis Of the Amer
lean Refrigerator Transit Co., who
viii assist in perfecting an organiza-
ton.
The conference will be purely a
business one and the entire time
VIII be taken up in discussing the
best plan of organization. It has
been pointed out that by co-opera-
ton all of these various organiza-
tons will be able to command the
highest price for their products. The
shipping to one market at the same
time of the same products and thus
glrtting the market will be avoided,
and by the establishment of a uni
form package and uniform products,
The building up of the truck indus
try in this southern portion of the
state on firm and lasting basis
is assured.
The Chief extends it's good wishes
to those attending the conference

Old Furnaceman Found
Dead at Cornwall Furnace
Special to The Telegraph

Lebanon, Pa, May 2.-Joseph Nc
Avoy, a former furnaceman of Corn
wall, this county, was found dead this
morning in an old shack within a
stones throw of Burd Coleman fur
mace, under most pathetic circum-
stances. In his younger days McAvoy
worked steadily at the place, but about
fifteen years ago he became too feeble
to continue. Having horror of the
county almshouse, he took to the road
as tramp, and as such wandered over
all parts of the American continent.
Sickness finally overcame him and he
then returned to his native heath. For
two weeks pass he fingered around
Cornwall, subsisting on the remnants
of workingmen' dinner pals. This
morning when one of the kind-hearted
furnacemen went to the shack to leave
some food for the old man he found
him lying on the floor dead. Coroner
John j. Light pronounced it a case of
apopleXy.

SAYS SULPHUR
DRIVES ECZEMA
FROM THE SKIN.
Use like cold cream to instantly
stop itching and clear
the skin.

Sulphur. says renowned dermatol-
ogist, just common bold-sulphur made
into q thick cream will soothe and
heal the skin when irritated and
broken out with Eczema or any form
of eruption. The moment it is applied
all itching ceases and after two or
three applications the Eczema disap-
pears, leaving the skin clear and
smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get
from any good pharmacy an ounce of
bold-sulphur cream and apply it to tho
irritated parts the same as you would
any cold cream.
For many years common bold-Sul.
phur has occupied secure position in
the practice of dermatology and cuta-
neous affections by reason OF it's para
site-destroying property. 1t is not only
parasiticidal, but also antipruritic,
antiseptic and remarkably healing in
all irritable and inflammatory condi-
tions of the skin. While not always
effecting permanent cure 1t never
fails to instantly subdue the angry
itching and irritation and heal the Ec-
zema right up and it is often years
later before any eruption again ap-
pears on the skin. This is published
