DREAMS OF WEALTH
OF GRADENICO KIN
GO OA-GLIMMERINC
NO FORTUNE LEFT THEM RY
CANON OF PARISH OF
SAN MARCO

Dreams of fortunes which have come
to st. Landry relatives Of the Gradient
go family have been based on nothing
substantial.
The state department advises Repre-.
sentative Lazaro that It's agents have
made an investigation of the report
that part of the large fortune of
Giuseppe Gradenigo is to be divided
among his kin in the United States
These agents find that Giuseppe Gra-
denigo, who was canon of the parish
of San Marco, died October 8, 1888. He
left will providing that one-third of
his estate was to go to the poor of
Venice, one-third to the parish of San
Marco and the remainder was to be
used for the celebration, of masses. 1t
was established without doubt by the
state departments agents that no part
of the Gradenigo fortune was set aside
for persons in the United States.
The various reports which have been
In circulation concerning this Italian
fortune have caused several of the
Louisiana representatives to receive
numerous appeals TO resistance in Sc
curing portions of the legacy.

FIRE COMP ANY
ENJOYS SPREAD

After the regular business meeting
of the Hope Hook and Ladder Com.
pany Thursday night the members Of
the company were treated to Dutch
lunch provided by the merchants OF
Landry Street.
At the business meeting commit
tee was appointed to go before the
city council and endeayor to obtain a
small increase in the appropriation SO
that the company viz be able to do a
little better for the truck drivers.
The present pay of the drivers is
$55 per month. This amount is too
small and the men deserve an in
crease in salary. They are required
to be at the fire station at all hours
and have no spare time to supplement
their wages by other work. 1t is to
be hoped that the council can lind a
way to aid these men.

NEGROES REFUSE TO
RETURN TO SOUTH
Are Satisfied in North Writes Dene-
chaud from Chicago to Louisi-
ana Farmers

n T. + + ~
Louisiana farmers are not going te
get the number of negroes from Chi
cago that they expected for theil
farms.
/ That, is substance, is the gist OF
la letter received Saturday from Jus
tin f. Denechaud, Of the state agri.
cultural department, who went to the
Windy City, accompanied by 3. F,
Dickinson, prominent sugar planter, to-
bring back to this state negroes who
were dissatisfied with their working
conditions and who spined" for life
back on the farm.
However, Mr.. Denechaud says, just
the opposite exists, and that the Chi
cago negroes are not dissatisfied, but
are getting good wages and are not
willing to come back to Louisiana.
eve have not given up hope of get
ting some families for Louisiana
farms, he wrote, but not many can
be secured from this place under ex-
listing conditions. Il also believe that
returning negroes will not be easily
handled, for here they ride in street
cars with white people, patronize thea
ters and restaurants and other places
on an equality with whites, and when
they return South. these privileges
will no longer be theirs. Therefore
our farmers must not have too high
hopes of getting needed farm work
ers from this section.
Mr. Deneehaud and the other mem
bers of the committee visited the sec
tfon where the race riots were staged
They found conditions easy, and no
signs of the reported panic and fear.
Negroes are considered desirable Ia
borers in Chicago, writes Mr.. Dene- |
cbaud. 4and all negroes can secure
at good wages in ChIca- /
ga and the surrounding section The
packing plants are today employing
large numbers of negroes, and these |
negroes ar ESQ far meeting with 20 /

Louisiana Cotton Prospect About
372,751 RaIes-compare With
5s7,7f7 Bales Raised on Last
Years Estimation

Mr.. Dennee, Field Agent for the
United States Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, reports that about 1900, 900
acres planted in cotton in Louisiana
this year and st. Landry has about
$4,000 acres of the fleecy staple
The present indication shows that
the cotton crop will be far short Of
the ten-year average.
Attention at this time is being TO-
cused on the cotton crop. There is a
breathless interest in the ultimate out
turn and the burden of reports from
over all Louisiana continues decidedly
pessimistic.
August is usually dry and hot
month but this season the rainfall was
more than usual and frequent, result
ing in further substantial deteriora-
tfon of the crop. According to John
s. Dennee, field agent for the United
State Bureau of Crop estimates, the
condition on August 25. which is the
date marking the close of the third
condition period for cotton, was the
lowest in ten years, the previous low
record being 4S, recorded on August
%, 1909.
On an average date of August rs
the Bureau of Crop Estimates, from
the reports Of its correspondents and
agents, place Louisiana cotton condi-
ton at A per cent Of normal against
52 one month ago, So one year ago.

worked for what believe the welfare
of our people, and when the unsoiicit-
ed call comes so powerfully from every
section of the state, every class of in
dustry, business, agriculture and pro-

must be put aside, and my service and
any ability / possess cheerfuly given
