SERIOUS ACCIDENT At
TAL|SHEEK ON SUNDAY
Party In Auto Plunge In
to Hole Filled With
Water.

A party composed of Burdett Russ,
W. W. Pope, Miss Mary Donham,
Miss Sallie Haley. Mrs. Donham and
her II year old son, all of Slidell,
had a close call from death Sunday
when they were driving a car at a
lively rate of speed, and plunged
into a pit that was filled with water.
Russ was driving the car on the
Talisheek pike, and at point where
the new road leads from the old
one, a large hole had been dug.
He was almost to the pit before he
became aware of the fact that it
was not just an ordinary place in
the road, filled with water, and be.
fore he could stop the car, it plune-
ed into the pit and rolled over three
times. All we're badly shaken up.
Five we're knocked unconscious, but
Mrs, Donham and her son were
soon revived. Misses Mary Don
ham and Sallie Haley were taken
to the Touro Infrmary, at New Or
leans for treatment.

this week who are here to inspect

Tuesday morning and it was the
first visit for most of them to the

that they were given an agreeable
surprise to find such a hustline

most modern paper mill plants in
the country. The party is headed
by Col. Geo. R. Wright, President Of

PLAN To DOUBLE CAPACITY 0F
PAPER MILL IN NEAR FUTURE

| To HEAR JN0. PARKER
Says He Wants Constitu.
tional Convention And
Short Ballot
The weather man did his utmost
to break up the Parker meeting on
last Saturday night, but despite the
heaviest downpour of rain for sever
al months. a crowd estimated to
have been between 200 and 300 as.
sembled at the Y. NJ {. A. to hear
the Progressive candidate for Gov
ernor, discuss the issue of the cam
paign. And the address of Mr.. Park
er, is said to have been the cleanest
cut confined to the issues than any
he has made during the campaign
Dr.. E. A. Pierce introduced MIR.
Parker in few we'll chosen words.
Mr.. Parker stated that the reason
he was Progressive was because
the Democratic party gave no pro-
lection to the farmers and planters.
He compared labor conditions in
this country with those in foreign
lands, and showed what he believed
to be impossible for the growers Of
rice, sugar, cotton, grain. etc.. to
meet the prices of foreign countries.
He then stated that the only RENE
dy was to have a protective tariff.
and that this, the Democrats had
failed to do. For these reasons
he said, he joined the Progressive
party.
SHORT BALLOT WANTED
Mr.. Parker stated that he was in
favor Of a short ballot, in other
words, he approved of having the
people elect the governor of the
state, and that the chief executive
was then to appoint all the state
officers, from Secretary of state to
the Commissioner of Agriculture.
WANTS CONSTITUTION.
AL CONVENTION
He dwelt at some lengths on the
necessity of having constitutional
convention, and gave the manner
in which he would like to have the
delegates selected, their vocation
and the number. He favors Is
delegates to be selected from each
congressional district and at large
from the state.
USELESS OFFICES ABOLISHED
Mr.. Pleasant stated that if he
was elected governor, that he would
do all in his power to have many
of what he termed, as useless Offices
abolished, and, in that way. he ex-
pected to save the tax payers of
the state, many thousands of dollars
each year. He also fayors the
+ fixing of a salary for the sheriffs
throughout the state, and to not per-
init them to any fees. He compared
, the salary of the school teachers to
f the game wardens, and the impot-
, lance of each to their community.
MUCH ENTHUSIASM
The meeting is said to have been
. very enthusiastic, and that Mr.
Parker was delighted with the re-
;, ception he received in this city
/, During his address he did not in
. dulge into personalities as has beer
his custom, and the only name
mentioned was that of Robert Ew
= ing, whom he termed as the "Bi,
