The Mexican Situation

Despite che kept US out of war, the
democratic prediction slogan which
won the votes of the women in the
Suffrage" states and returned Wilson
to the White House for four years
more-the Mexican situation is becom-
ing more and more tense each day and
there is no question in the minds of the
thinking people that this country is on
the verge Of volcanic eruption that
viii embroil this country in actual
war with Mexico. The following from
the State Journal of Nov Is is the
opinion of Major Sharp, one of the men
who was at the front during the late
unpleasantness with our Mexican
neighbors:
That the situation on the Mexican
border IS bad, and that the Kansas
troops may regard themselves only as
on an indeterminate furlcugh, is taken
for granted by Major Sharp. Condi-
tions there during the stay Of the Kar-
sas guardsmen were worse than the
press reports indicated, according to
Major Sharp and other officers who have
returned. Major Sharp, said the town
Of Eagle Pass, where the Kansas troops
were encamped, was in danger when
the troops arrived there, and that only
the presence the soldiers saved 1t
People who had lived there for years
were afraid to allow their families to
go on the streets after sundown, and
with lson. The Mexicans owned the
town and the sidewalks and they ex-
pected and received a clear right Of
way When we left, life and property
were safe The Mexicans would give
an American at least half of the walk,
said the major.
That the national guardsmen viii be
called on to return to the border, and
that when they do there viii be some
thing doing, is Major Sharp's firm
/ opinion.
No one can tell when the summons
viii come again, but it viii come as
surely as tomorrow S sun viii rise, and
we viii cross the border-no, not cross
It. AS one negro soldier expressed It,
we viii pick up the border and take it
with US, the returning guardsman be-
| lieyes."

FIRE FIGHTERS AT FAIR.
Thrilling Demonstration with Five
Story Drill Tower.

Louis Pujol, chief of the New Or
leans fire department, visited Dom
aldsonville Wednesday for the pur-
pose Of consulting with the officials
of the South Louisiana Fair respect
ing the demonstration which will be
given at the fair Thursday and Fri
day, Oct. 5 and 6, by a detachment of
New Orleans fremen. Chief Pujol de-
cided to bring to Donaldsonville the
big five-story tower which was used
at the recent fremen's celebration in
New Orleans, where some $4,000
spectators witnessed the thrilling
work of the fre-fighters.
The tower will be placed on the fair
grounds and demonstrations given
both Thursday afternoon and Thurs
day night in honor of New Orleans
day. A demonstration will also be Civ
en- Friday afternoon for the special
benefit of the thousands of school
children wha1will attend from the
surrounding parishes.
On ea of these occasions, with
the aid Of a body of seventeen we'll
trained members of the New Orleans
fire department, there will be demon
strations in pumping, life saving and
rescue work, such as bringing an I'M
conscious woman down the ladder
from the fifth story of the tower by
use of the life line and with scaling
ladders. Jumping from the fifth
story of burning house into a life
net will also be wildly portrayed.
Another interesting demonstration
will be the work done by a first aid
crew in bringing an unconscious per-
son baa3A to life after being rescued.
The SRr management is elated ever
the results of the conference with
Chief Pujol, as his decision to bring
the great tower to Donaldsonville
and give this unique and thrilling
demonstration means the attracting
of many visitors to the fair in addi-
ton to the large numbers already ex-
pected,

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

A noted British commander, on the
eve of memorable naval combat
many wears ago, admonished his gal
liant followers that England expects
every man to do his duty Inspired
by the timely sentiment, every man
did his duty. and a famous victory
was achieved. So at this time we may
exclaim that not only every man,
but every woman and child OF TINS
community as well, is expected to
perform a duty fraught with I'M
portance in its bearing upon the gen.
eral welfare.
The duty of the hour is to con-
tribute a share toward the success OF
the South Louisiana Fair which is TO
open at Donaldsonville on Thursday

his sister, Mrs. Frank Ruiz, in Brusly

the fatiguing trip. Next morning,
however, he was attacked by faint

A most successful affair was the
dance given Friday of last week at
the schoolhouse, arranged by the eff
fcient teachers of the Elise Memorial
School, Misses Roy, del'Hommer and
Anna Leblanc. A large number of
patrons and friends of the school
were present, and everybody had a
very enjoyable time. The refresh

Blanc and Mrs. L. Schuster was liber-
ally patronized, SO that nearly $50
helped to swell the piano fund, and d
good instrument for the school is now
assured.

Cured at the Germania ramp shortly
after dark. Joe Daggs, an old darkey
in the employ Of G. B. Reuss, was sit
ting at the end of the plantation rail
road track, near the ramp, facing the
gravel road, to watch the Fords go
by. Suddenly machine that was
not {. Ford, but large car owned by
VI. Levy of Napoleonville, and driven
by his negro chauffeur, came down
the road alta lively speed. Reaching
the ramp, the driver evidently lost
control of the wheel, as the car swerv-
ed suddenly to the right and knocked
the darkey off his observation post,
the front wheels shooting over the
car-track into a fence, with the old
man lying under the car between the
track and front wheels Fortunately
the high bank of the old railroad
prevented the rear wheels from going
over also, SO that the machine could
not move further. It was first thought
the darkey was seriously injured, but
DR.. Allen Of White Castle, who was
hastily summoned, found that he
had escaped with two broken ribs and
a dislocated hip, besides a few minor
bruises. The occupants of the car
got only good shaking-up, and after
getting the car back on the road
were able to continue their trip
home. The old darkey is doing
nicely now, but says he will watch the
cars go by from the top of the levee
next time he is able to go out.
