Jersey Powder Mills Work
Overtime Since War Began


PENNSGROVE. Nov. 16.-The Du-
Pont smokeless powder plant, at Car
ney's Point, where nearly all the men
of this section are employed, never
WAS so rushed with orders as at
present. Six months ago the force
was reduced to 300 and not a ham
mer was used in new buildings or
repairs. But the war in Europe
changed things; 500 men are en-
ployed. carpenters are working night
and day. additional chemists and
civil engineers have been put to work
and families who never before took
boarders have been compelled to ac-
commodate them. The fortnightly
payroll has been increased from $10,
600 TO $4,000 and since the last pay
day many more hands have been
employed

Auto Accident.

What could have been a terri
BILE automobile accident hap
pened on last Saturday evening,
when DR.. Bailey's car, crashed
into a telephone post on corner
of Main and Landry streets. A
number Of young boys and girls
were riding in the big car, COM
ing down Main street; Mr.. Willis
Roy. with a party of friends,
was turning from Landry into
Main, going north when he saw
the inevitable. The other car in
an attempt to avoid the wreck of
two automobiles, went into the
curbing, being stopped only by
the big telephone post, after
slightly bruising the Roy car.
The wrecked car got out with
a broken wheel, a smashed radia-
tor, and the engine was slightly
Jared. The automobilists, how
ever, were none the worse for
their experience. as not a single
one sustained the least injury.

OPELOUSAS TO PLAY
. EUNICF THREE GAMES
Two st. Landry Rivals Will
Again Battle for the
State Title.

Manager Charles Dejean an
nounced during the week that
he had closed up with Manager
&c. C. Porter of the Eunice club
for three games, to be played in
Eunice and Opelousas. Inc first
game of the series will be staged
in Eunice tomorrow Sunday
evening when the Dejean aggre-
cation will journey, with several
hundred fans on a special Frisco
train, for the western St, Ian
dry town.
Both Eunice and OpeIousas
are strong contenders for the
state championship. in fact
among rhe many DaseDati Tans
of this section of tho s-cstn the
title will be decided by the three
games, which will be played on
three consecutive Sundays. Eu-
nice, as we'll as Opelousas has
gone up against the strong
est teams in the state, practical
ly everytime coming ou6 Vlctorl-
Gus. The two teams, which are
bitterly fighting for the state
honor, have played three games
againsfone another, Eanies TAX
ing the first, Opelousas Wallop-
ing Eunlce in the second, whilst
the third ended in a forfeited
game to Opelousas. 1t there
fore leaves the two teams about
equal in games won, thus far.
It is expected that both teams
will have new players during the
series and it is said that the man
ayers will stake up one hundred
dollars forfeit that the game will
go nine innings. A disinterest-
ed umpire will be secured and it
is thought that there will be no
trouble at all during the three
games.
The managers of both teams
have realized that it takes Ope-
lousas to draw a crowd in Eu-
nice, whilst it takes Eunice to
swell the crowd to one thousand
persons in Opelousas. Conse-
quently it is to the advantage of
both teams that their friendly re-
lations be resumed.

Bordelon's Garage Secures
New Mechanic.

Mr.. Martin Bordelon, owner
of the Bordelon's Garage, se-
cured the employment of Mr..
Jack Nissly, an expert mechanic,
who had been connected with
the Union Irrigation Co. for the
last three years. Mr.. Nissly will
take complete charge Of the me-
chanical department of the Bor-
delon's Garage.
The new mechanic has had
wide experience in Northern and
Western garages and comes to
Opelousas with the best of rec
ommendation, not only as
splendid mechanic, but as al
good man. He has already
made countless friends through
out the parish and Mr.. Borde-
Ion expects to vastly increase his
trade with the assistance OF Mr..
| Nissly.

Fourth of July Fire.

Being convinced that the peo-
pie of Opelousas needed some ex-
citement on the Fourth OF July
and realizing that no effort on
the part Of the citizens Of this
city was made to celebrate this
national holiday the all wise
Creator started the excitement
by allowing a fire to start out.
Of course the fire WASH t much,
thanks to the luck this city has
been enjoying for number OF
years, but there was some ex-
citement anyway. To tap the
climax the firemen did not show
up for quite awhile and many a
person was afraid that the fire
might spread before the fire
truck might arrive.
BY the time the fremen had
arrived and succeeded in placing
the flames under control, two
stables, belonging to B. Bennett
and Judge Estilette, were burned.

LOCALS TAKE Two
FROM ST. MARTIN
Visitors Are Easy Picking
for Manager Dejean's
Ball Players.

Playing a pretty game on Sat-
urday and staging a farce on
Sunday, was the record of the
st. Martinville and Opelousas
teams. The st. Martin boys
were outclassed, but they play
ed pluckily and held Opelousas
down to one score on Saturday,
whilst they failed to cross the
pan. The two Dejeans on the
local team won the game, Mana
ger Dejean getting a tWo-bag-
ger in centerfield and was
brought in with Leo Dejean's
hit to right field. This was the
only time that Opelousas could
score, though the home boys
threatened to swamp the visitors
with several scores, but the st.
Martin boys would come to. the
rescue of their pitcher by play
ing good ball.
Sundays game was played be-
fore a very small crowd and the
exhibition was not very good to
be sure. Tom Casey hurled for
.Opelousas, whilst Delahoussaye
took care Of the mound for the
visitors. Casey was in pretty
good shape and encouraged the
visitors by allowing them to get
two runners across the plate,
whilst his team mates had piled
up nine and were tired making
any more.
Boudreau pitched a pretty
game for Opelousas on Saturday,
though he is not the pitcher that
Casey is, allowing but a few
hits, and having the visitors at
his mercy during the whole time.
Opelousas leaves to play Eu-
nice tomorrow evening. The
special Frisco train, which will
convey the ball team and sever
al hundred fans to Eunice, de-
parts here at one o'clock Sunday
afternoon. The fare will be 85
cents.

ESTORGE WILL SEEK
POSITION ON BOARD
Ex-Clerk Will Be Candidate
For Member of Board of
Equalization.

Hon. Henry E. Estorge an
nounced during the week that he
would submit his name to the
voters Of the Seventh Congress
sional District as a candidate for
member Of the Board of Eqailiza-
ton from this district. The
election is to come off at the same
time as the congressional elec-
ton. Mr.. Estorge served as
clerk of court of st. Lar dry par
ish for several years; he was
elected member of the Board of
Equalization from this district in
1906 and served in that capacity
for four years after which he
did notrun.
Since the redistricting of the
Seventh District is left without a
member and Mr.. Estorge was
urged by his fr ends to make the
race. The territory which Mr..
Estorge will have to cover during
his campaign will be st. Landry,
Evangeline, Calcasieu, jeff
Davis, Allen, Beauregard and
Cameron parishes.
Mr.. Estorge expects to make
his official announcement during
the next few days, after which
he will wait to see if he has any
opponents, when he will no doubt
begin to canvass the district for
votes. Thus far, however, no
one has been mentioned in oppo-
sition to the Opelousas man.

necessity of accomplishing the
work several years ago and he is
to be congratulatedin in accomplish
ing such a work, without it hav-
ing cost anything to the church.
At different intervals Mr.. Guidry
would send word to few mem
bers of the congregation to come
with their teams, wagons and
necessary tools, and to the ladies
Of the town he would call for so
many dinners for the workers.
Everybody responded and mich
work was done.
To-day a crowd Of about eighty
men were at work during the
whole day; as usual, the ladies of
the town sent something to keep
the soul and body of these men
together and Father Roger
furnished the refreshments.
The work done to-day was in
front of the convent building.
and now we doubt very much if
there is one convent building in
the whole state in as fine a loca-
ton or in a more beautiful site
than the Church Point convent.
Over six hundred loads of dirt
given by our distinguished sena-
tor, Hon. Homer Barousse, were
hauled to-day, practically COM
pleting the work.

JUDGE GIVES SALOON
MEN MINIMUM fine
Warns Violators That Next
Time They viii Receive
Heavy Fines.

Judge B. H. Pavy, before pass
ing sentence on the saloon men
men indicted for violating the
Sunday law, stated, in the pres
ence of a large crowd that he
would be lenient on the violators
for this time, but that the next
time they would be indicted for
breach Of the law they could
expect the maximum of the law
and then "some!!'
The Judge laid the blame, not
SO much on the saloon keepers,
as upon the municipal and parish
officers. He realized the fact
that many saloon keepers violat-
ed the Sunday law, simply be-
cause their neighbors had been
disobeying the laws, without
being apprehended.
In imposing the minimum fine
on the indicted saloonmen Judge
Pavy stated: Il do not want you
to think that this is a license to
keep open on Sunday. I only
want to be lenient on you this
time, but watch out for the man
who will stand before me again
for violating the Sunday law. /
will surely fine him $3.50 and then
some more. 4"
All Sunday law violators
pleaded guilty and paid their
fines, promising the Judge that
it would be the last time they
appeared before him for keeping
open on Sundays.

COUNCIL TO ASSIST
ENTERTAIN FARMERS
City Fathers Appropriate.
Money for Farmers Con-
vention.

The city council on last Tues
day appropriated fifty dollars
for the entertainment of the
farmers, during the Farmers
Union convention, which will be
held in this city on July 28th,
10Th and 3Oth.
The Progressive League en-
deavored to have the police jury
appropriate one hundred dollars
towards the same cause, but the
jurors turned a deaf ear to the
pleadings of those who would
like to see the convention made
one of the greatest successes
ever pulled off in Opelousas.
However the jurors had very
good excuse, claiming that their
contingent fund was depleted.
Opelousas is making extensive
preparations for the entertain-
ment of the several hundred vis-
iting farmers and it is expected
that the historic old city will
show these sturday tillers of the
soil the time of their lives, when
they appear here for the reunion
of farmers from every section Of
the state.

Subscriptions Increased

The subscription which the
members of Gordan Chapter
have been endeavoring to swell
for the erection of the Mouton
confederate monument in this
city was greatly increased when
the Legislature passed the Fon-
tenot appropriation bill of one
thousand dollars.
The old vets are proud of the
fight of the St. Landry delega-
tion headed by Representative
| L. Austin Fontenot, for the pur-
pose of securing five thousand
dollars for the monument. The
appropriation was curtailed to
one thousand dollars, however,
and the old confederates are sat
Iisfed with what they were
given.
The Daughters of the Confed-
eracy are still working with a
| view of obtaining enough money
for the monument and they ex-
pressed confidence during the
week that it would not be many
months before the monument
would be in the course of con.
struction.

To the DemOratic Voters
of the 9TH Congress
siOnal District.

In submitting my name to you
for reelection to Congress in the
next Democratic Primary Elec.
ton, I do so in the firm convic-
ton that the office to which / as
pire again belongs to the people
within the limits of said district.
The right and responsibility Of
selecting the nominee of the
Democratic Party at the primary
election to be held this fall be-
longs absolutely to the individ-
ual voter, and not to any partic-
ular man or set of men. The let
ter and spirit of the Primary
Election Law, under which the
selection of a nominee is to be
made, contemplate the recogni.
ton of no faction in the political
party holding the election, but
on the contrary, specifically rec
ognizes the right of the indiyid-
ual voter to choose such candi-
date as he may prefer for the
position.
Further, it is also the true
principle of both the Constitu-
ton Of the State and the Pri-
mary Law that every white man
should have the right to vote,
whether he be registered under
Section Five, under the property
qualification, or under the educa-
tional qualification.
In asking the people of the 7th
District to re-elect me to Con
gress, | deem it my duty to give
a brief report of my work since
the beginning of my term.
will not discuss my record prior
to my election to Congress, as
that was thoroughly discussed in
the last campaign and approved
by a large majority of the voters
of the District.
have adhered to the platform
On which I was elected to Con-
gress. I have always tried to

conscience after carefully weigh
ing the merits of each measure,

Hon. Ladislas Lazaro, member
/ to the House of Representatives
from the Seventh Louisiana Dis
trict, was in Opelousas a few
/ days this week, renewing old
acquaintances and at the same
! time attending to a little private
I business.
! Mr. Lazaro expects to be back
lin St Landry sometime next
month to open up his campaign
/ for reelection. He has already
announced that he would take
the stump in behalf of his re-
election.
The St. Landry man, who has
so ably represented his consti-
tuents in Congress for the last
two years, feels proud of the
support his friends throughout
the Seventh District have been
offering him. During his short
stay in Congress DR.. Lazaro has
done more for his district than
any other Congressman; it gen.
orally takes several years, as is
we'll known, for a newly elected
member to make himself known
among the other congressman,
but Representative Lazaro, no
sooner did he appear in Washing
ton, Immediately made hosts of
friends and was soon able to
fight for his peoples rights,
which the Congressional records
will show he did in a most sue
cessful and honorable manner.
1t was largely through his untir-
ling efforts that the Democrats
did not put rice, which is one of
the principle crops in the Seventh
District, on the free list. He
has been the most faithful friend
to the laborer in Congress, as is
we'll known by the laboring class;
every measure by which the
jlaboring may be benefited DIR.
Lazaro votes could be found on
the right side, whilst he always
fought, with all his might and
vim, any bills by which the
laborer might be injured.
That DR.. Lazaro will make a
whirlwind campaign is apparent
from reports all over the district.
| His constituents realize that DIR.
Lazaro places duty before poll
tics, as evidenced from the fact
| that this is the first time he has
appeared in the district in several
months, having to remain at his
post in Congress; he does not pro-
pose to fire the first gun of his
campaign before Congress adj
journs. His friends have assur-
ed him that they would take care
of his political fences, whilst he
took care of the interest of the
voters of the Seventh District, in
the halls of Congress.
4 DIR. Lazaro expressed conf
dence Of being successful at the
poles in September; he does not
have any belief in the Bull Moose
party, being confident that the
white democrats of Southwest
Louisiana, who fought SO des-
Iperately for White Supremacy
will allow themselves to fall away
from the party they have been
born and reared in.
