AscENsIoN's VOTERS.
Registration Rolls Show Nearly 24OO
Democratic Electors.

Clerk of Court j. S. Barman, who
is ex-officio registrar of voters, has
completed the revision of the registra-
ton rolls of the parish, and informs
The Chief that the total number of
registered Democratic voters in AS
cension is 1887 This does not mean,
however, that the voting strength of
the parish is anything like the figure
named, since some several hundred
eligible electors will not be able to
cast ballot through having failed to
pay their poll tax in 1914 and 1915.
The sheriff's records show that 1856
citizens fulfilled this qualification in
1914 and 1898 last year. It is the
general opinion among well-informed
observers that the total vote in next
Tuesdays Democratic primary will
not exceed 1900.
Following is a tabulated statement
of registered voters and poll taxes
paid in the various wards for the year
1915:

INJURED IN River ACCIDENT.
George Whiteman's Leg Broken in
Three Places Last Saturday.

The following news item from the
Times-Picayune of Tuesday OCCASION
ed deep regret among the numerous
friends in this community of the I'M
fortunate victim of the painful acci-
dent therein reported, all of whom
unite in rendering sincere sympathy
to the estimable young man:
George w. Whiteman, son of Capt.
III. C. Whiteman, both of this city,
whose leg was broken last Saturday
when the towboat Mccartney, of which
he was in charge, struck the Alabama
Great Southern Railroad bridge at
Eutaw, Ala, on the Warrior river, and
sank, was brought to this city and
placed in the Touro Infrmary. Mr..
Whiteman had his right leg broken in
three places between the knee and an
kle.
''The accident occurred Saturday
afternoon. Young Whiteman, when
he saw the boat, which was towing
two barges Of coal, had become I'M
near the bridge where
the current was very strong, went to
the head of the barges SO he could
place fender between the barge and
the pier of the railroad bridge. He
succeeded in placing the fender, but
when he attempted to get out of the
way he tripped and fell on the cross
chains. When the barge hit, the
heavy head back of the barge crash
ed and part of it fell on him. The
barge was SO badly damaged that it
sank shortly afterwards.
"Dr. Moore, of Eutaw, Ala, band
aged the broken leg and that evening
Whiteman was placed on a train for
New Orleans"

SATURDAY, JANUARY %, 1916
PLEADS FOR PROHIBITION.
Lecturer Attacks Liquor Forces and
Urges Abolition of Saloon.

One of the largest crowds which
has ever packed the court room in the
local courthouse assembled Thursday
night to hear Rev. Sam. Small, the
famous evangelist and lecturer, point
out the evils and iniquities of the
liquor traffic and plead for national
prohibition. Every seat was occu-
pied and all the available standing
room was pre-empted, and the fact
that scarcely a single person depart
ed from the room during the hour and
three-quarters that DR.. Small spoke
constitutes as eulogistic comment as
could be made concerning his power
as master of assemblies and the
forcefulness and eloquence of his
discourse. Much had been expected
of DIR. Small, and it is not stretching
the truth in the least to say that the
fullest anticipations of all his audi
tors appeared to be realized.
i The plea that the liquor interests
pay the taxes of the nation, the ex-
cuse that if you let liquor alone it
will let you alone, the cutlery against
interference with personal liberty,
the assertion that prohibition doesn't
prohibit all these and other argu-
ments advanced by the liquor inter-
ests were given a thorough airing by
DR.. Small. He covered the ground
completely; not point advanced by
the 8wets" was left unanswered, and
his remarks throughout were followed
with the closest attention and inter-
est by the audience.
Mayor Walter Lemana served as
chairman of the meeting and intro
duced DR.. Small.

CLOSES TWO BIG DEALS.
L. J. Echeverria Buys $4,000 Worth
of Hides, Furs and Tallow.

Comparatively few people are
aware of the extent to which the
business of buying hides, furs, wool,
tallow, ETC., has been developed by L.
j. Echeverria, of this city. During the
past week, for instance, Mr. Eche-
verria closed deals for the purchase
of 10000 muskrat and 220 coon
skins, / l 900 pounds of hides, and two
tons of tallow,. the total amount of
money involved in these transactions
being approximately $4,000. The fur
pelts were bought from trappers in
the back Vacherie section, and the
hides and tallow from butchers in
Donaldsonville and the surrounding
country.
The prices paid by Mr.. Echeverria
topped those offered by buyers from
New Orleans, Baton Rouge and other
places, and it is indeed feather in
the cap of the local man that he should
have successfully negotiated both of
these big deals in the face of such
active competition on the part of
other dealers.
Through Mr.. Eeheverria's activiAaG
and investments Donaldsonville is
attaining prominence as fur and
hide market, and the butchers and
trappers are coming to realize that
they can get as high prices and as
liberal treatment from Mr.. Eche-
verria as from any buyer operating in
this territory.

Bible Class Banquet at Vacherie.

Bible Class Banquet at Vacherie.
An interesting social-religious event
planned for the near future by our
neighbors at Vacherie is a Bible class
banquet to be held Friday night, Feb.
A.. o.. B. Webb, of New Orleans,
division passenger agent of the Texas
&. Pacific Railroad, will be the guest
of honor, and other Sunday School
workers from Burton and nearby
communities are expected to attend.
The ladies of Vacherie will be hos
tesses to the men on this occasion,
and will serve nice luncheon, and it
is believed the event will result in
enlisting large number of the men
there in an organized mems Bible
class. Mr.. Webb ranks as one OF the
best Bible class speakers in the state,
and is on special commission from
the State Sunday School Association
to enlist the men of Louisiana in Sun
day School work.
A big part of the agony will be over
after next Tuesday.

r NEED or OUR SCHOOLS.

The Chief gave up seven and a half
columns of space in its last weeks
issue to the publication of State SUI
pervisor Charles F. Trudeau's ex-
haustive report of the condition of
the rural public schools of this par
ish as it appeared to him after a
painstaking inspection, and every cit
izen and resident of Ascension who
feels a particle Of interest and pride
in these schools ought to give this re-
port careful perusal and resolve to
take some active part in the work OF
bringing about a. change for the bet
ter in the situation therein depicted.
The picture painted by Mr.. Trudeau
is a decidedly unsatisfactory one, and
it is evident that the main trouble with
our school system is the lack Of ade-
quate means for it's proper mainte-
nance and improvement.
Means for repairing this deficiency
in revenues must be devised if the
public schools of Ascension are to be
put on parity with those of the more
progressive parishes of the state, and
the subject should receive the earnest
attention and cooperative efforts OF
our educational authorities and the
people generally.
While the present may not be re-
garded as favorable time for sug
costing increased taxation in any
form or for any purpose, still the VI
tai Importance of an efficient and up
to-date system of public education in
its relation to all the best interests of
the community demands that no
means should be regarded as too dras-
tic and no sacrifice too great to rem
edy the shortcomings of the system
aAd supply the needs of the common
schools. ~
If no other effective method of rails
ing the indispensable larger revenues
can be devised than the levy of spe-
cial tax, then steps should be taken to
authorize such an impost.
At all events, the matter is one call
ing for immediate agitation and con-
sideration, since no parish and no
people can afford to be negligent and
Indifferent when the problem of pro-
viding sufficient and proper facilities
for educating the rising generation is

RESCUES SEVENTY-TWO
FROM SINKING SHIP

Baltimore, Nov. 2s.--The Norwe-
gian steamer Borghill. which arrived
at quarantine today from Oran. AL
giers brought seventy-two ship
wrecked persons from the American
schooner Georgtetta, which sailed
from New Bedford. Mass. November
IL for the Cape Verde Islands.
Among them were two small children
whose mother had died on the voy-
age. The Borghill, which had lost
part OF her foretopmast was detained
for fumigation.
The Borghil reached the Georgt-
eta last Saturday two hundred and
forty miles east Of Bermuda. The
schooner was dlsmasted and her
decks awash. Her fifty-six passengers
and sixteen members OF the crew were
taken aboard the Borgill after an all
day fight with heavy sea. The
schooner later was fired % prevent
her becoming a menace 10 navigation.
Captain Christensen of the Borg
hill said hts foretopmast was carried
away In a storm some time ago and
had never been replaced.
