DRINK THE CAUSE OF
YOUNG MANS DEATH
j. B. Richard, Crazed By
Whiskey, Slashes Throat
on Sunday Evening.

Crazed by drinking too much
whiskey, j. B. Richardl 80 years
old son of Eugene Richard, a
WeH-to-do farmer living near
Lewisburg, on Sunday evening
slashed his throat with a razor,
dying almost instantly.
Young Richard had to come to
town on Sunday morning with
his father and mother. When it
came time to return to the coun-
try the parents, not seeing the
young man concluded that he
had decided to remain for the
Opelousas-G Garden City ball game.
Being crazed with the whis-
key young Richard arrived at
his fathers home Sunday even
ing at 5 o'clock, having gone to
LeWisburg by train. He imn1e-
diately showed signs of excessive
drinking when he arrived at his
fathers and being in a rage as
it were he grapped razor and
slashed his throat, cutting two
deep wounds, dying in a few
minutes thereafter.
When Mr.. Richard was inter-
viewed during the week the old
gentleman said: Yes. if the Of
fcers in Opelousas would do
their duty my boy would not lie
in his grave the victim of his
own hands. Why do people
make laws if they are not to be
enforced? Had the saloons been
closed on Sunday, as they should
be, my son would be living to-
day. =
It is said that young Richard
often drank, but this time the
whiskey put him in a terrible
rage and it is said upon arriving
at his home he asked for a pistol
but the mother fearing for the
worse cautiously hid the weapon,
whereupon the young man
reached for the razor, which
caused his death.
Young Richard was buried in
the Catholic cemetery in this city
on Monday.

.SOLONs TO DISCUSS
FLOOD PREVENTION
Atchafalaya Basin Associa-
ton Will Hold Important
Meeting at Melville.

The Atchafalaya Basin Asso-
citation will hold an important
meeting at Melville this (Satur-
day. afternoon at 2::30. Because
the association will deal mostly
with flood prevention topics, it
is expected that a large number
of citizens of this and adjoining
parishes will attend the meeting.
The object of the associa-
ton is to formulate protective
measures against overfioWs in
the Atchafalaya Basin and more
particularly to conduct a cam
paign to influence the Mississippi
River Commission to take over
the control of the Atchafalaya
Basin.
In the minds Of those who have
visited that territory lying be-
tween Grand Lake and the Gulf,
one very practical way Of reliev-
ing the flood level in the Grand
Lake vicinity, which would ma
terially affect the upper Atchafa-
laya, would be by constructing
three canals; one at Chareton,
one at Jeanerette and the other
at New Iberia. This would
greatly relieve the present stu
alton.
These canals would not only
act as spillways but intersecting
the intercoastal canal. and being
navigable, would be of two-fold
advantage to the Atchafalaya
Basin country.
The association urges that del
egates from every section of this
parish, as we'll as nearby parish.

There were several hundred
members from various sections
of Southwest Louisiana, excur.
sions being operated from diff

the initiatory ceremonies were
begun a sermon was delivered
Sunday evening by Rev. Father
Brooks of Grand Coteau, after
which the Knights of Columbus
and the candidates marched in

streets, headed by the Lafayette
brass band.

COMMENCEMENT TO Be
HELD THIS EVENING
st. Charles College Finishes
Seventy-Sixth Year Most
Successfully.

St. Charles College will hold
its commencement exercises this
Saturday evening at 7 o'clock
in the College Auditorium. Sew
eral hundred invitation have
been sent to admirers of the ven
erable institution from points in
every state in the South.
The commencement exercises
will close one of the most sue
cessful years ever enjoyed by
the Grand Coteau institution.
The graduating class. the men,
bers of which will receive their
diplomas Sunday, June 21st. at
10 a. M, represents some of the
most distinguished families of
the state.
st. Charles holds the distinc-
ton of being one of the best in
stitutions of learning in the
South, having turned out men in
every step of life, from success
full farmers to Governors and
United States Senators.
Rev. Father M. A. Grace. pres
ident of St. Charles, who is liked
by the entire community, has
every assurance of a most sue
cessful year during the coming
session of 1914-15. Indications
are that there will be close to
two hundred students when the
much dreaded month Ito school
boys) of September rolls by.
Old st. Charles will once more
be gay and the little village
known as the Athens of st. Lam
dry will be as lively as II 1t were
a large city, when the old boys,
who number among the most
prominent citizens of Louisiana,
will assemble in the College Hall
Sunday afternoon to hold a meet
ing of the Alumni Association,
as well as to renew the ties OF
friendship which has existed
among them for time immemo-
rial. Truly indeed st. Charles
will be the most popular place in
the parish, when the Honorary
President of the Association NJ.
A. Grace will welcome the old
students back to their dear OLD
College.

INITIATION HAS
BEEN POSTPONED
Knights Of Columbus Will
Not Hold Initiation Sun
day as Proposed.

All plans had been arranged
for a standardization to be held
in this city by the Knights of
Columbus tomorrow Sunday,
but st. Charles College. follow
ing a rule established last year,
which is never to be broken, will
hold a reunion of the old boys,
unconsciously knocked the initi-
alton in the head.
It was deemed best by the To-
cal members to postpone the in
itiation until the first Sunday in
July, as a great number of the
members belong to the ST.
Charles A lu mni Association
which will hold it's annual meet
ing tomorrow. On account of
the organization of the Vile
Platte council next Sunday the
the first Sunday in July was
deemed most advisable.
The Alumni Association meet
at Grand Coteau tomorrow bids
fair to excel the meeting held
last year. Reports from the
College have it that the old boys
will number several hundred, as
the gorgeous time had by those
participating in the Jubilee cere-
monies last year, has spread far
and wide over the state.
It is expected that several OF
the most prominent citizens of
this city, who werein years gone
by happy students of the vener-
able institution, will journey to
the scene of their dear old Col
lege days.

CROPS IN ST. LAM
DRY ARE PROMISING
Cotton to Be the Best in
Years Whilst Corn Will
Exceed All Records.

Reports from various sections
of the parish are to the effect
that a bumper crop is expected
this Fall. Boil weevils are only
visible in sections, close to the
woods, whilst in other sections
bugs have injured the cotton
crop to some extent, but taking
all in all, it is said that the. cot
ton crop is even more promising
than last year and if the Fall
season is in any way favorable
st. Landry will roll up a big out
put of cotton.
The corn crop is the best seen
in this parish and it is expected
that all records will be broken.
Farmers in st. Landry have re-
allied that corn is a more i'm
portant factor than it has here
tofore been recognized, the con-
sequence Of which there has
been a large increase in acreage.
The only backward crop thus
far is rice. On account OF the
lack of water earlier in the sea-
son several thousand acres of
land which were cultivated in
rice last year were either planted
in other crops or lay idle. But
considering the bad start the
rice crop in this parish is excel
lent and the farmers who have
planted this crop expect to real
ize a nice sum Of money during
the harvesting season.

It is thought that Opelousas

year this railroad company ex-
pended over $48, 900 in publish

GRAND JURY CALLED
TO CONVENE MONDAY
Rumored that Sunday Law
Violation Is to Be
Investigated.

The jury commissioners met
in this city on Thursday morn
ing and drew up the jury venire
for the grand jury to serve for
the next six months. The jury
has been called to convene in
this city on next Monday.
It is generally rumored over
the streets that the grand jury
has been called to convene for
the purpose of investigating re-
ported violations of the Sunday
law in various sections of the
parish. Whether there is any
truth in this statement or not
could not be learned.
1t is a known fact, however,
that early in the year Sheriff
Swords warned all saloon-keep-
ers in st. Landry that unless
they keep tight on Sunday he
would prosecute them. The Ope-
lousas on-keepers it is said
have been regarding this warn
ing and there has been only a
few violations, if any, since the
first of the year.
The saloon keepers in this city,
however, complain of the fact
that in other sections of the par
ish saloons operate by means of
the back door. If they are to be
kept closed up, some are of the
opinion, that the law should also
be enforced in other sections.
There are no serious cases
coming up before this session of
the grand jury, only afeW minor
cases will be looked into by the
jurors.

POLITICS BEGIN TO
STIR IN OPELOUSAs
]. 5. Powers, Candidate for
r. R. Commission, Feels
Way in st. Landry.

With the congressional prirna-
ries not far distant, Hon. J. S.
Powers, twice mayor of the city
Of New iberia, and an avowed
candidate for Shelby Taylor's s
job, as railroad commissioner,
spent a few days in this parish,
in an endeavor to feel his way.
Mr.. Powers has been a travel
ing salesman for a number OF
years, having this parish in his
territory and is consequently no
stranger in Opelousas, as well as
in st. Landry. Mr.. Taylor's op-
ponent expressed the belief,
whilst in Opelousas, that he
would have even chances in this
parish, which went heavily in
favor of Taylor some six years
ago.
Politics is beginning to stir in
old st. Landry and it is expected
that within the next thirty days
the candidates for congress and
railroad commissioners will be
making stump speeches in every
voting precinct in the once ena-
pire parish of Louisiana.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
SEEKS COOPERATION
Representatives of Railroad
Speak on Advertising
This Section.

Mr.. C. A. Maui, special adver-
tising agent Of the Southern Pa
cific railroad, accompanied by w.
Il. Stakelum, Division Passenger
agent Of the same company, paid
a visit to this city on Wednesday
morning, holding an informal
meeting at the Elks Home.
The object of the meeting.
which was attended by business
men of this city, was to promote
interest between the business
people and the railroad company
in carrying on large advertising
campaigns.
The railroad company realizes
the fact that every farmer
brought along its line
means better business
and more prosperity gener-
ally. By advantageously adver-
tising the undeveloped resources
Of Louisiana it is the opinion OF
Mr.. Maui that this state would
soon be peopled with scientific
farmers, who would cultivate
the lands in such a way that
farming in this section would
soon become the best paying
business.
In order to induce farmers
from other states in the Unior
to settle in Louisiana education
and drainage is in dire need
With the young farming genera
tion well educated, with the low
lands in Louisiana scientifficall,
drained, so as to take care of th'
excessive rainfalls, this stat
would no doubt offer great in

tiers.

night. The public had been in

prominent citizens was in the
Elk Home when the celebrating
begun.
Mr.. E. K. Eastman, who de-
livered the patriotic address won
unbounded praise from the lips
of his felloWmen. This speech
was pronounced by all present
as the best address delivered Id
Elk Hall since the erection of the
new home.
In arising Mr.. Eastman said:
Il feel that the committee that
selected me to deliver a patriotic
address to you on this occasion
of the Elk's Flag Day owe You
an apology. Their only excuse
doubtless is, that those better
fitted by training and experience,
and we have many such in the
membership of our lodge, shirked
the duty. That is also my sole
excuse for undertaking the task.
