Reserve Refinery Rebuilt.

The big Godchaux sugar factory at
Reserve, in st. John parish, which was
destroyed by fire durtng the month of
April last, has been completely re-
built and began grinding operations
two weeks ago The new factory,
with the exception of the floors, is
entirely of steel and is one of the
largest and most modernly equipped
of any structures of its kind in the
south. All of the iron work connected
with the, building was under the SUI
pervision of A. J. Schroeder, the we'll
known, energetic and progressive iron
worker of this city, who devoted all
of his time, skill and attention to the
job for the past six months. He took
charge on April Is and the house was
completed and in operation on October
%. All of the new sheet metal works,
including tanks. troughs, ETC., was
done by Mr.. Schroeder on the grounds.
Owing to the conditions which pre-
vailed, the rebuilding of the large
modern factory was accomplished in a
remarkably short time. This was due
in large measure to the great skill
and energy with which Mr. Schroeder
handled the work.
Edward Godchaux, one of the pro-
gfeSSlNe and huSti1ng owners, and
resident manager of the big place,
to whose exceptionally good manage
mcnt is due the splendid success en-
loyed by the plantation and factory
in the past, was on hand continually
during the work OF rebuilding the
house aud was very active in his con
slant attention to every phase and
detail of the undertaking and showed
great familiarity with every branch
OF the work. To his indomitable
energy is due in a large measure the
Tact that the rebuilding of the fac
tory was accomplished with expedition
and without hitch or delay. When
the factory was set in motion on
October %, it ran as nicely and as
smoothly as clock to the delight of
the owners, manager and superintend-
ent Of construction.

Sixty White Men from This Parish to
Entrain for Camn StenhenS Mnndayl

+" HIle NAeI HIS 10
Entrain for Camp Stephens Monday
The local draft board has received
instructions from the Adjutant Gen
eral to send IS white selectmen to
Camp Stephens, South Carolina, next
Monday. The examination of the men
was begun by the local medical exam
iners Thursday morning, and has been
in progress every day since. AS the
time before entrainment is very short,
those who have been accepted for gen
eral military service were given their
notice Immediately to report at the
courthouse tomorrow, prepared to de-
part for the camp. The men will leave
on The 5 AS "a IN. train Of the Texas
& Pacific Railway, and will go by way
81 New Orleans They will arrive at
their destination Wednesday,
This will be the first movement of
draftmen from this parish since the
outbreak of influenza in the army
camps five weeks ago. At the time of
the appearance of the disease, the
examination OF the registrants of Sep
TENDER II last, had begun and was
well under way, and the draft boards
throughout the country were under Or
ders to send large numbers OF select
men to the various camps at once,
but the outbreak of the terrible dis
ease caused the army authorities to
recall and cancel all such orders. The
disease having been stamped out the
movement of men to the training
camps has been ordered resumed and
will no doubt go on without Interrupt
ton until the full quota named by
the war department for the month OF
November has been sent to camp.

LADY BLANCHE ARUNDEL.

Lady Blanche Arundel was the wife of Lord Arundel. of Wardour, and is celebrated for her heroic defense of Wardour Castle, in Wiltshire, Eng land. She was summoned to sur render the castle early in May, 1643, by Sir Edward Hungerford, com mander of the parliamentary forces, at the head of about 1,300 men. Lady Arendel refused to surrender, despite the fact that the castle contained only 25 fighting men, and she brave ly resisted the onslaughts of the hos tile forces, her maid-servants taking the places of the men as they fell. After a siege of six days, however, the brave noblewoman was forced to give up the fight, after making sti- pulations that the lives of her rela- tives be spared, Lady Arundel and her two children were taken prisoners to Shaftsbury. She died in October, 1649, and lies buried beside her hus- band at Wardour Castle. He had preceded her in death by three years, having died of wounds received in the battle of Lansdown.

LADY ABERDEEN IS GREETED BY CROWD

Lord Aberdeen, former viceroy and lieutenant of Ireland, who spoke at the High school Saturday, expressed confidence that home rule must come to Ireland. He said to a newspaperman after his address. 1T made up my mind 30 years ago that it must come, and I am more certain than ever today that it will, I'may not live to see it, but it is bound to come. :"
 Lady Aberdeen, who accompanied her husband to this city, spoke along the lines of the child saving move ment. During their stay in Bridge port Lord and Lady Aberdeen were entertained by Judge and Mrs. Morris B. Beardsley.
