SUGAR PLANTERS TO
HANDLE OWN CROP
Planters Will Try To Get
Along Without the AM
erican Sugar Trust.

Sugar planters throughout Lou
isiana on Tuesday signifed their
willingness to handle their own
product, refine and market it.
thus to aid Gov. Luther E. Hall
in his fight against the American
Sugar refinery. sugar trust, =
which recently closed its giant
mill in New Orleans because of
a business depression, it was an
nounced.
Some time ago when it was
made known that Governor Hall
would fight the sugar trust they
threatened to close the refinery.
Activity on the part of the gov
ernor and sugar planters, it is
claimed, brought about the clos
ing of the refinery earlier this
year than ever before. The
sugar barons deny this, claiming
that there is no market for their
output.
A move is on foot to ask re-
ceivership for the sugar trust,
which would allow the state te
use the refinery in New Orleans
for the benefit of the planters.

To Give Halloween Party.

The Daughters of Isabella of
this city are preparing to give a
Halloween Party on Saturday
night, October 81. An admission
fee of twenty-five cents will be
charged.
The Daughters Of Isabella are
very charitable in this community
having practically exhausted all
their funds by means of aims
giving. The party on Saturday
night will be given in order that
their good work can continue
around the Christmas holidays,
at which time many of the poor
people of this city are unable to
obtain the necessities Of life.
For the occasion the Daughters
will secure the services of clair
yoyant from the East so that
those attending the party will
have an opportunity to find out
what the future has in store for
them. Many other modes of
amusements will be afforded and
a gay time to all attending is as
sured.
The Knights of Columbus are
being urged to take an active
part in bringing about the sue
cess of the Halloween Party, as

Cane Cutting Is In Full
Blast.

Farmers around Opelousas have
been, cutting their cane for the
past week or ten days and have
been shipping them to various
points along the Southern Pacific.
The cane crop in ST. Landry is
considered very good. as the
weather for this crop was not SO
favorable during the growing
season. However there are
many farmers in this neighbor-
hood who have raised more than
their own supply and are now
shipping their surplus.
While prices are not as good
as the farmers thought cane
would demand there is no parti-
euIar kick about the amount of
money received for the staple.

Thc attorneys for the prose
cution in the famous Walters
Dunbar kidnapping case
were granted a re-hearing by
the Louisiana supreme court in
a decision handed down on last
Wednesday.
1t viii be remembered that in
the early summer Hon. Edward
B. Dubuisson, representing the
accused, argued before the
judges of the supreme court that
act No. 291 of the legislature of
1910 was unconstitutional, as it
failed to amend and re-enact act
No. o6 OF 1910. The supreme
court decided that the act was
unconstitutional, Whereupon
W7.cc.,,tt1--~.s was de facto free but
the attorneys for the prosecu-
ton appealed to the supreme
conrt for a re-hearing.
The granting of the re-hear-
ing to the prosecuting attorneys
means that the Dunbar attorneys
will have another opportunity to
prove that the act under which
William C. Walters was indicted
and convicted for the kidnapping
Of little Bobbie Dunbar is con-
stitutional.

fident that he will in the end be

The contest for city judge
which will come off in February
1916, promises to be as l4e,2.ss
fought as the memorable fight Of
1912. Judge Gus e. Dupre has tbs
distinction of being the Ilrst te
announce as a candidate for the
position and a few days after,
ward, it is reported, Judge Ar
thur Simon made it known to his
friends that he would once more
be a candidate for the office now
being held by City Juege E. S.
Kerr.
Mr.. Dupre told a representa-
tive of the Clarion during the
week that he was out to make a
hard fight. L have been a Demo-
crat all my life and | think that
the old boys with WHOM i have
been connected in politics al my
life should in turn do something
for me. y
Judge Simon gave Mr.. Kerr
the tightest race of his life last
election, being defeated by only
three votes, and his friends now
think that with a concerted fight
he will be able to show up to
greater advantage.
When interviewed during the
week, Judge Kerr said: I am
not a candidate for reelection to
the office of City Judge but I
appreciate very much the loyal
support and cooperation of my
friends accorded me in the past,
and I feel that I have lived up to
the trust by faithfully and i'm
partially discharging and per-
forming the duties incumbent
upon me during my tenure of
office and will continue to do SO
until my successor is inducted
into office.
I desire to say further that [
will not hesitate to tell my friends
what | intend to do and will be
found in the thickest part Of the
fight with my friends, notWith-
standing the fact that | do not
expect to be candidate for any
office.
Although the election is prac-
tically two years hence consider
able interest is being manifested
and it is expected that in the
Spring of 1916 cid Opelousas, as
well as st. Landry parish, will
be all aglow with politics.

EUNICE TO AID
OPELOUSAS CREAMERY
Other Towns in st. Landry
Showing Interest in
Opelousas Project.

1t is reliably reported that
Eunice is preparing to assure
Opelousas over one hundred
mich cows, from which mich
will be secured for the proposed
Opelousas creamery, and SINH
lar reports come from various
sections of st. Landry.
Garland and surrounding coun-
try, it is expected, will furnish
considerable milk fat to the
creamery here; west of Opelou-
sas around Mallet, Prairie Ronde
and Plaquemine Point a great
deal Of milk fat will be secured
there, as well as other portions
of St. Landry, in the neighbor-
hood of Port Barre, LeonVille
and Washington.
Mr.. J. w. Lyman is working
strenuously in the interest of the
creamery, endeavoring to obtain
the cooperation of the progress
i've farmers residing around Eu-
nice. He firmly believes that
Eunice can aid greatly IN the
success of the proposed cream
cry, and as the enterprise would
be of great benefit to Eunice, as
we'll as Opelousas, the popular
president of the Eunice Pro-
gressive League is getting the
owners of milch cows in his sec
tion vitally interested in the
project.
President Mornhinveg OF the
local Progressive League is still
as optimistic as ever over the
the creamery proposition which
he started sometime, ago. All
those who have taken the lead
in this movement feel confident
that this is one enterprise which
will be a a source of revenue to
the farmers Of st, Landry par

The Lead.

The Opelousas High School
assumed the lead in the Clarion
contest this week, being ahead
Of Melville by a bare thousand.
Eunice showed a good increase,
although it fell back to third
place.
Melville was unable to send in
its vote for the counting this
week, whilst Opelousas, sent in
a large batch ons Wednesday af-
ternoon.
Miss Lorena Hidalgo, who is
working for Opelousas, is re-
sponsibIe for the splendid show
ing this week of the local high
school. She is out fighting for
the Soule scholarship and is very
enthusiastic over the showing
made by Opelousas this week.
Professor Perrault reported
that he was perfectly satisfied
with the showing of his school,
as it had showed its competitors
that Melville had to be reckoned
with before the four hundred
dollar Kingsbury piano would be
awarded.
Reports from every school in
the contest are very favorable,
