FRACTIONAL FIGHT IN ST. JAMES.
Ticket Nominated to Oppose Candi-
dates of Regular Organization.

At meeting of voters of st. James
parish held last Sunday afternoon at
the courthouse in Convent, candl-
dates for parish officers to oppose
those of the regular Democratic or
ganization were nominated, and plans
adopted for a vigorous tight within
the party at the approaching Demo
cratic primary. It is stated that the
opposition is directed chiefly against
Sheriff Joseph B. Dornier, and IS
result of his having become a candi-
date for delegate to the constitu-
tional convention, when, according to
P. NJ. Lambremont, he had promised
the latter his support.
Charles L. Wright, vice president
and superintendent Of the Excelsior
Cypress Company, Of Timberton, was
made chairman of the meeting, with
Frank H. Lyman, superintendent and
manager of the Bowie Lumber Com
pany, at St. James, vice president, and
Representative Sigur Martin, secre-
tary.
Former Lieutenant Governor Lam
sbremont addressed the meeting, ad-
vocating a Democratic fight, and on
his motion it was resolved that the
campaign be made inside of the Dem
ocratic party and along Democratic
lines.
Louis LeBourgeois, who is also OPP
posed to Sheriff Dornier, declined to
make fight in the Democratic party.
He stated terseiy and forcefully that
the voters of St. James were missing
a valuable opportunity to ally them
selves with the Progressive cause.
The following ticket was chosen
to be voted for at the Democratic
primary election: Raymond Wag-
uespack, president of the police jury
of st. James, and prominent sugar
planter, for sheriff; Sigur Martin, for
clerk of court; J. Nash Smith, Of
Gramercy, for assessor, and DR.. Jonn
E. Lawton, surgeon of the Excelsior
Cypress Company, of Timberton, for
coroner. All nominations were made
by reclamation.
The chairman of the meeting was
authorized to appoint a committee
of twenty-five citizens to take charge
of and manage the campaign. He re-
ouested that citizens hold mass meet
ings in the different wards and make
sSelecLlOllS u GdIluludtCS i0- Foi1'S
jurors, justices of the peace, consta-
bles and members of the parish Dem
ocratic committee.
Mr.. Lambremont closed the meet
ing with strong and eloquent adj
dress. He took occasion to say to
his friends that he aspired to no po-
litieal Office and thanked the voters
of St. James fer the many hcnors
which they had conferred upon him
in the past, piedging his support at
all times for good government for his
home people.
The meeting adjourned to reassem-
Bile at st. James station, Aug. 20, to
ratify the action of the ward meetings
and to select two candidates for rep
resentatives.

Waggaman Notes.

An event of much interest to Wag-
gaman, and particularly to the mem
bers of the Ascension colony" here,
was the marriage on the 9th inst. Of
Ben. Marchand, an erstwhile Ascen-
sionite, to Miss Stella Dicharry, love
ly daughter of Sam. Dicharry,
formerly of Smoke Bend, but now Of
New Orleans. The ceremony took
place at ST. Johns Catholic church,
in Dryades street, at 7 o'clock in the
evening, after which they left for a
weeks stay at Vaudeville. They re-
turned to their home on Willswood
plantation, of which Mr. Marchand is
a valued employee, the night of the
18th. This happening to be the sec
ond time Mr.. Marchand ventures on
the matrimonial sea, his friends land
that means the whole community
turned out in force and INDUCED in
an old-tinfe "charivari' Although
taken by surprise, their hospitable
doors were thrown open, and he and
his gracious bride invited all in, where
dainty refreshments were served in
abundance and many good wishes and
congratulations extended the happy
pair.
Our constantly growing Ascension
colony" of Waggaman was increased
this week by the arrival of "Billee"
Hanson, who is now with the Export
Oil Co.
Mrs. Augustin Landry, of Donald

grandson, Aristide, spent very pleas

Bird Law Violators Arrested.

Stanley c. Arthur, ornithologist of
the State Conservation Commission.
came up from New Orleans last Sat-
urday evening, and the following day.
In company with r. Amedee Tete, Of
Iabadieville, conservation agent for
this territory, visited the Hohen
solms neighborhood in upper Ascen-
sion to investigate reported violations
OF the law for the protection of non
game birds. The conservation off
GERS were assisted by Karl Geist, JUS
tice of the peace of the first ward.
and 1T was ascertained that there has
been considerable shooting of cranes,
herons, snowy egrets and other non
game birds, which are said to be pres
ent in that section in larger numbers
this season than for many years past.
a fact that is held by Mr.. Arthur to
demonstrate the effectiveness and
practical value of the conservation
work in this state. An Italian. Joe
ISABELLA, and his son, Sam ISABELLA.
were found to have been the princi-
pal offenders in the slaughter of pro-
teeted birds, and charges were pre-
ferred against them by Mr.. Arthur.
Upon promising to come to Donald
sonville at the next term of court
and plead guilty, they were not taken
into custody. Warning was given to
various negroes and others in the
neighborhood that the regulations of
the conservation commission would
be strictly enforced, and it is expect
ed that the visit Of the officers will
have a good effect in preventing
further violations of the law.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Chief is not responsible for
views expressed by correspondents
Claims Injustice to Jefferson.

NkdlHIS Ah5HSSASC ~ eSlA - $500
Waggaman, La, Aug. Is, 1915.
Editor Chief:
1t is not often your paper goes OUT
of its way to render an unnecessary
stab at community, and can only
attribute it to the fact that you accept
at it's face value the stuff put out by a
couple of contemplate sheets doml-
ciled in New Orleans.
Your editorial of Sending Troops
Across the Border" not only does us
of Jefferson parish a grave injustice,
but contains at least one mlsstate-
ment: That of one of the deputy
sheriffs of Jefferson, with badge OF
office and regulation revolver, being
among those arrested in the Hyland
raid, and locked up in the Gretna Jail.
Why! the worst the Sheets above
referred to claimed was that coat
with badge and revolver had been
found in locker of said establish
ment. Of course these same sheets
do not call attention to the fact that,
Sts in number of rural communities.
It has been the custom for the sher-
iff to appoint without pay) number
of special deputies. Nor do they call
attention to the fact that number Of
these appointees of Sheriff Marrero' s.,
who are now aligned with his opposl-
ton, lack the proper sense of delicacy
that would require them to hand in
their commission and badge. You
can readily see that there are several
ways to account for the presence of
said 1badge" in that locker without
necessarily charging frame-up.
You also follow the lead of said
'sheets" in referring to the unfortu-
nate killing of Officer Bouchon, an oc-
currence deeply regretted by every
one in Jefferson; but unlike them, you
do not know the facts which led up
to that deplorahle tragedy. | have no
patience with those who persist in vio-
lating any law, be it Sunday law or
any other. But custom and usage
ameliorates, if it does not condone,
the exercise Of option in number OF
communities of Louisiana, as regards
the Sunday closing LAVE If it was not
deliberate attempt to penalize or
chastise these saloon keepers for hav-
ing been aligned with their opponents
in the election just held the Tuesday
previous, then why on earth had not
these Hall-made city of Gretna of
ficials enforced this Sunday law dur
ing the whole of their three-year ten
ure of office?
Jefferson parish is not worried
about her destiny. She will continue
to thrive and progress, in spite-of the
presence of a "few" of those arch
enemies Of any COMMUNICATIONS,
who when they find they cannot rule,
are cheerfully willing to ruin. 1t
hurt me to see the mouth-piece of my
old love, Ascension" deliberately
jumping on as fine a people and as
grand a parish as exists in this state,
not excepting Ascension.
Respectfully yours,
THEO. S. LANDRY.

THE PACKING PLANT.

No more valuable and important
business project has been suggested
or discussed in this section for many
years than that to establish packing
plant, and nothing can do more than
the successful carrying out of this
enterprise to encourage the raising OF
live stock in this part of the state.
With an adequate and up-to-date
establishment for the slaughtering Of
cattle, hogs and sheep, and for the
proper preparation, packing and ship
ping of the meat, a great incentive
would be furnished our landholders,
large and small, to go into the live
stock industry on an extended scale,
with the result that much land now
idle or comparatively unproductive
would be brought into profitable use
for pasturage and stock-food crops,
affording an additional source of in
come and profit that would be d;ffused
through all branches of trade and be
felt to some extent by all classes of
the community.
The progressive town of Napoleon
vile, located on Bayou Lafourche and
two great railway branch lines-the
Texas and Pacific and the Southern
Pacifc-has been designated as the
domicile of the proposed packing
plant, and meeting is to be held
there at o'clock this afternoon for
the purpose of effecting permanent
organization of the company that is
to found and conduct this important
enterprise.
1t should be the pleasure as it is
the duty of all our people to give the
fullest aid and encouragement to this
project, which promises to become a
leading factor in the future prosperi-
ty of this section.
