ROSE P|T0N0F IN
BIGGEST WATER
RACE IN HISTORY
Arranges Amazing Match With
Harry Elionsky To Be Held
Of Boston in June. :
By Tad

IN OSTON, Jan. 31.-Rose Pitonof,
~ Boston's champion girl swim
mer of the world, will meet
Harry Elionsky, of New London, in
what is likely to be the greatest en-
durance swim on record in June next
in Boston Harbor.
Miss Pitonofs father, Eli Pitonof
has deposited with the sporting edi.
tor of Hearst's Boston American a
! check for $50, covering similar for
felt made on behalf of Elionsky, who
! had previously accepted Miss Pito-
nof's challenge to the world for such
race.
Under the terms made by Pitonof,
| each of the contestants must deposit
$3.50 more at least. ten days before
the date of the race. The contest will
therefore be a $500 match affair-a
$1,000 match. The date of the race
will be fixed before June /.
The terms call for battle to An
ish-such swimming contest as was
never held before in the world.
The contestants must swim back
and forth between Charlestovn
bridge and Boston Light until one or
the other is forced to quit.
WHEN one gives up the other-if re
or she goes as far as the one who
surrenders has gone-will become the
champion and will win the money.
To swim from Charlestown bridge
to Boston Light once is an amazing
water stunt. Few have done It To
go to the Light. turn a buoy and re-
turn has been considered a we'll nigh
impossible feat. To continue further
over the same course seems super
human. If it can be done, it seems
likely that Miss Rose Pitonof and
Harry Elionsky are among the few
who can do 1t.
1t will be a test of sheer endurance
The last one out of the water is to
win, under the conditions described
above.
THESE are the arrangements made
by Miss Pitonof's father, and are
of course, subject to acceptance in
detail by Elionsky Originally Pit
onof, whose daughter is considered
the champion woman swimmer of the
world, issued a challenge ard offerei
world, issued a challenge for the
championship and offered to bet from
$500 to $1,000 side. Arthur B. Nc
Ginley, of New London, acting Tor
Elionsky, accepted, making $500 the
figure.

 The rescue was made in a rough sea through brilliant and daring sea. manship on the part of the Whit Star crew. The battleship's cry for assistance was caught by the wireless operator on the Olympic, who was only about ten miles distant The steamer rushed forward at full speed, while her crew made ready for their work. Volunteers were called for and double the number necessary to man the lifeboats responded.

A CURE FOR PISTOL ToTlNe.

The True Democrat: In the crimes
and casualties the year 1913 develops,
the pistol toter occupies his usually
prominent place Also, the newspapers
will be telling us that pistol toting
should be prohibited.
In order that this wanton waste of
life may be avoided, it will be noted,
however, that few, if any, will tell you
how to stop the crime, and neither the
peace officers or deputies from the
sheriff's Office nor the good citizens be
relieved of this cowardly business.
Let the courts simply make rule
and instruct all officers or reliable cit
liens to arrest any one carrying con-
cealed weapons, except those author
lied to carry concealed weapons, re-
CARELESS of color or occupation, and
allow the party or parties making the
arrest $1OO, or $500 if found guilty
and convicted. | think this will reduce
the pistol toting to minimum.
Then let the courts make a rule that
no fines will be imposed, but that a
jail sentence awaits every man who is
convicted Of the crime. When man
knows that good stiff jail sentence
is coming to him if he is found carry
ing a pistol he will leave the weapon
at home. We have all seen what a
Jail sentence does for the get-rich-
quick game man-it simply puts him,
with his companions, the wire tappers,
out Of business. They are willing to
pay fine, but are afraid Of hard pub.
lie work on the streets or penal farm
This, think, is the only way to put
Mr.. Pistol Toter out of business.
E. J. G.
| P. S.-The deputies or citizens not
enforcing the law should be dealt with
the same as the pistol toter-fne OF
Imprisonment.

SAY. FELLOW CITIZENS!

Let's all can that CUFF about poor old
Donaldsonville being dull and look around
for chance to do something to brighten
her up.
The town is just as well located and the
land of the region about us is just as fer
tile and productive as ever.
A broken bank and period of depres-
sion in the sugar industry are great mis-
fortunes, of course, and it is natural their
i'll effects should be felt for a time, but
these are by no means insurmountable
obstacles.
Lots of other communities have overz
come bigger drawbacks and misfortunes.
What's the matter with bully old Dom
jacksonville doing likewise?
Take it from us, the very determine
ton to do the thing will half turn the
trick
Hard times and most of the other af-
flictions of which we complain are largely
a condition of mind, so let's cultivate the
cheerful spirit and hitch it to a resolve to
talk and work for the upbuilding of the
| burg
That kind of team work will rival the
| faith that moves mountains
| vile Chief
The foregoing applies with equal
force to st. Francisville, as the condi.
tons in this parish are practically the
same as those existing in Ascension
The only difference is that the latter
parish is suffering on account of the
cane industry, while the boil weevil
is responsible for the great slump in
our cotton growing.
However great the encouragement,
there is no use in stopping. The great.
er an obstacle in a mans way the
harder he should strive to overcome
it. 1t is true that the world owes every
man LIVING, but it is up to the man
to collect it. If every man in com.
munity would suddenly turn booster
such great strides would be made that
few would be able to recognize the
place in a very short while. Suppose
some of you knockers turn boosters
for while.

This unfortunate Brother has been
great sufferer for a long time, and
while he knew that his case was a
hopeless one, and that sooner or later
he had to surrender his young and
promising life to Him who gave it, he
looked for the end with the greatest
composure and resignation, for he was
ready to meet his God, face to face.
Permit us, therefore, to drop SYM
pathetic tear upon this new made

soul of this great sufferer. Let us not
