Donaldsonville, La, June 20, 1913.
Editor Chief:
/ trust it will not be considered
presumptuous on my part to call the
attention of the voters of Ascension
parish TO the candidacy for congress
Of State Senator Chas. 3. Schwlng;
Of Iber0slle parish, Whic h was recent
" announced in the daily press re-
ports.
firmly believe it would be to the
interests Of the people Of this par
ish, as we'll as Of our neighboring
parishes, to send Senator Schwing to
Washington as our congressional rep
resentative, and / expect to give him
my vote in the primaries.
My reasons for supporting him are
as follows: ~
!. He is young, energetic, able and
ambitious.
2. He is progressive, persistent.
and courageous.
3. He is thoroughly cognizant Of
the needs of this Immediate section.
has been identified with every pro
gfessive movement that has beer

years, and
4. I am Of the opinion that he
would prove a 'go-getter" for us in

a CRAVE ACCUSATION.

Much surprise was caused in this
community by the information con
viewed in Baton Rouge news de-
spatch to the New Orleans Times
Picayune of Wednesday last to the
effect that the federal grand jury had
returned an indictment against Hon,
Henry C. Braud, of Burnside, for the
atterance of seditious and disloval
language, tending to show sympathy
with Germany and lack of fealty and
true allegiance to the government Of
the United States.
Mr.. Braud is q prominent citizen
of Ascension, whose public spirit and
active interest in matters appertain
ing to the welfare and progress OF,
the nation, state and parish have been
manifested continuously and con-
sistently during the forty-sevcn years
rof his residence in this community.
He was born in the parish of Iberville
and came to Ascension in 1871. For
nearly half century he has made
his home at Burnside, where he was
q trusted and faithful employee of
he late John Burnside, Oliver Beirne,
VIM. Porcher Miles and the latter's
ership and administration of the cele-
brated group of sugar plantations
forming a considerable area of the
lower portion of the fifth ward of
this parish.
Several terms as member OF the
police jury, two terms as representa-
tive in the general assembly, several
terms as postmaster at Burnside,
some time on the school board and
Pontchartrain levee board, which lat
ter place he still occupies, and many
years continuous membership IN
the local and state Democratic or.
carnations are comprised in Mr.
Braud's long and honorable record of
public service, and certainly cit
izen of such antecedents and stand
ing is entitled at least to the benefit
of the doubt and suspension OF
public opinion when he becomes the
object of such an accusation as dis.
loyalty to his native land In time OF
war, and enters a denial of guilt.
Judge Rufus E. Foster OF the Unl-
ted States district court fixed BOND
in the case at the nominal sum OF
$1,000, which was promptly furnish
ed by Mr.. Braud, conditioned upon
his appearance for trial at the next
term of court at Baton Rouge IN
February.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
the Chief sincerely hopes Mr.. Braud
will be able to clear himself complete
" of the grave imputation cast upon
him by this Indictment; but this ex-
preston of sympathy and goodwill
must not be construed as temperlng
our firm conviction that the time has
come when no man, of whatever
standing or degree of prominence,
can be permitted to indulge in dis
loyal or seditious talk without being
called severely to account and for
feiting the respect and esteem of all
!oyal citizens.

Worthy Family Rendered Destitute

Worthy Family Rendered Destitute.
The home of William Hurst on Ba-
you Conway in the seventh ward of
Ascension parish, near Brittany, was
completely destroyed by fire at about
o:4u O'Clock Thursday morning, to-
gether with it's entire contents. The
inmates of the dwelling, comprising
Mr.. and Mrs. Hurst and their eight
children, barely managed to escape
with their lives and were unable to
save any of their personal posses
sions or household belongings. AS
no insurance was carried and as Mr.. |
Hurst is without means. the family
IS in an unfortunate plight and has
been compelled to appeal to the
charitable public for assistance The |
origin of the fire is unknown.
Hon. William Polk, of Alexandria, /
was here Wednesday in the interest
Of John H. Overton's candidacy for
the United States senate, and drop
ped IN on the editor to speak a word |
~ two in behalf of his man. He SAYS
Mr.. Overton will visit Donaldsonville
n person later on, and will address
he people in both French and En-
gllsh. After calling on a number of
oeal political leaders and influential
.ltizens, Mr.. Polk stated that he
ound the sentiment toward the
)verton candidacy to be very FRIEND
y here, and he is confident the
sapides aspirant for the BroussardI
uccession will poll big yotel
throughout this section.

Quota by Wards.

The most intensive war finance
campaign that has yet been carried
on in Ascension is under way-the
great drive to dispose of war savings
stamps to the value of $477,740, rep
resenting a per capita apportionment
of $40 for every man, woman and
child in the parish. Those enrolled
to wage the good fight-from the
parish director down to the most OBJ
scure solicitor in the smallest pre-
cinct-have gone to work with de-
termination to achieve the goal and
make the undertaking brilliant sue
cess, and indications are that
Ascension will again "come through"
with the amount expected of her.
The first step toward the raising
of Donaldsonville's allotment, $751;.
500, will be taken tomorrow, when
every citizen of the community will
be expected to report at the high
school building between the hours of
Z a. m. and 8 p. m. for the purpose
Of pledging his or her respective
quota of the stamps. Announcement
to this effect is made in the form OF
a circular letter addressed by Jasmin
Tobias, ward commander, to each
person whose name appears on the as
sessment and registration rolls for
the third ward of the parish, en-
bracing the city Of Donaldsonville.
In 5furtherance of the movement,
Mayor E. K. Sims has issued a proc
lamation calling upon every citizen
to make this day of religious devo-
ton day Of patriotism as well.
"Let all respond willingly and pledge
their savings generously that our
sons and brothers and neighbors may
fight on equal terms with the blood
mad enemy that faces thenn,' says
the mayor. 1--WE who cannot GO. to
the front, but who must remain at
home, surrounded by our friends, en-
joying the COZ forts Of ftise, free from
all dangers, are unWdh my of the
name Of Americans If we should fail
in our duty now when the darkest
cloud of our history hangs over us. =

opening of the drive. A house-to-
house canvass will be made to reach
those who may fail to show up at the
schoolhouse tomorrow, and every per
son who can buy war savings stamps
and who does not subscribe to the
limit. of his or her means will be re-
garded as not doing his or her duty
to those who are shedding their blood
in France.
Meetings to inaugurate the drive
| IN the eighth ward will be held at the
| following places: Saturday, June %,
Lake school, 2 p. M; Galvez school, G
p. M; Oak Grove High School, 8 p.
m. Sunday, June %, Prairieville, 4

Director Sims gives notice that every
citizen of the respective communities
is expected to be present, as though
in obediece to military order.
By the beginning of next week the
drive will be on in full blast all over
the parish. As complete an enumera-
ton as possible has been made of the
population of every ward, and a
thorough canvass will be made in ali
sections with view to seeing that
every person does his or her full duty
in this drive by signing the pledge to
purchase stamps to the limit of their
resources.
AT the call of Mrs. Emma G. Puios,
chairman of the Ascension-St. James
Red Cross branch and member of the
war council for the w. S. S. drive,
a meeting of women of Donaldson
vile and vicinity was held in the Elks'
Home Thursday afternoon for the
purpose of enlisting their co-opera-
ton in the great stamp-sel1ing cam
paign. The objects of the drive and
the method of procedure were
thoroughly elucidated by Walter Lee
mann, who took occasion to paw :;
glowing tribute to the women 70,
their magnificent work in behalf Of
other patriotic causes, and to express
the opinion that they could be count
ed upon to render equally valuable
and effective service in the present
crusade. Much enthusiasm and in
terest were manifested by all present.
and the outcome of the meeting was
that each woman pledged herself to
pass the word along to at least five
other women of her acquaintance
and to practice and spread the cosnai
OF thrift and enonelny and the il.
vestment of savings in war szayi;,sse
stamps.

New Bank Declares Dividend.

At meeting of the board Of d.
rectors Of the Commercial and Saw
ings Bank, Friday afternoon, re-
port was submitted by Cashier Albert
Delery showing that the net earn
ings of the institution for the past
six months have aggregated per
cent. A semi-annual dividend of 3
per cent was declared, payable July
l. This is the first distribution of
profits made by the bank since its cs-
adjustment little over two years
ago, and indicates that as result Of
careful management and the exercise
OF excellent business judgment the
has now been placed upon
a paying basis and from this time on
may be expected to thrive and pros
per at an even faster rate than has
characterized its steady measure of
growth heretofore.

the real wonders were going on, in the
vertical virage, spirals and wing slips.
Spectacular as these seemed to be,
each had its use in the fighting game.
The ''vrille" is that dizzy head-first
tumble, and the chief thing is not to
do it but to undo it and come out Of
it. 1t has its uses too in deceiving the
enemy into the belief that the aviator
has been hit and is tumbling, then as
the enemy is off guard, attacking him
suddenly as the aviator comes out OF
his headlong dive. One of the flyers
made four vrilles as we watched.
ut is dangerous only when near
the ground" said the escort. High
in the air there is comparatively no
danger for there is plenty of time to
set your levers SO that you are sure
to come out of the vrille."
Others were doing the spiral, anothf
er form of read-f1rst dive except that
the car is always under control, where
as in the vrille the control is lost un-
til the aviator succeeds in emerging
from his fall. Often the machines
seemed to stop suddenly, turn over.
and then glide away in the opposite di-
rection right side up.
One of the best manoeuvers for es-
cape from a dangerous fight is the
vertical wing-slip, as it is the fastest
means of losing altitude and getting
below an unequal combat. When an
acrobatic maneuver misses or is badly
done it Is pancake" or "barrel."
There is as much lingo to the avia-
ton field as there is to the baseball
diamond.
Leaving the field we passed a Grip
pied aviator limping on crutches.
HE has had Fl crashes" said the
officer, (which is about the record.
But he goes back every time and he
is eager now to get in his machine
again. And that is the spirit of every
man here, to be ready for combat and
to beat the Boche."
