Cotton Seed Convention in AIexandris
Sept. 4.
Editor CoJdr Chronicle:
Dear Sir:-At the request OF
the Louisiana Ginners' Associa-
ton, l have called a meeting of
the Ginners, Cotton Seed Pro-
ducers. Cotton Seed Buyers and
Crushers, to meet at the Bentley
Hotel, Alexandria, Thursday,
Sept. a. 1890 a. M. for the pur-
pose of discussing the price to
be charged for ginning and to
consider some plan of stabiliza-
ton of the Cotton Seed industry
for the season.
Alabama has already taken
such action; Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi are going to act on this
important matter at once. In
our opinion it will be best for all
concerned if we get together and
work out some good plan along
these lines.
Pleade do your best to be with
US. Yours truly,
HARRY D. WILSON,
Commissioner.

Grant Parish Pioneer Road Builder

0A""s nAASH aoHeeF R0d0 Duiidef.
The big majority cast in Road
District No. 8 two weeks ago for
an additional bond issue of $21O,-
600 shows how thoroughly alive
the people of Grant parish are to
the building of permanent roads.
The vote was 163 to % in num-
bers in favor Of the proposition,
and $771, 222 to $37, 1879 in values.
1t was not only a popular propo-
sition, but the big property own
ers voted for it almost without
exception, as witness the follow
ing instances: Mrs. c. E. P. Cal
houn, SIS, $50; j. H. McNeely.
$1S1, 036; C. H. Teal, $53, S34;
John Randolph, $4O,276; Bevely
Randolph, $24, 2l2; T. C. Bush,
$27, $50.
Trdnt parish was the f1rSt par
ish in the State to take advan-
tage of the new law under the
Saunders administration giving
state aid to the parishes voting
money for road building While
our experience was a little disap-
pointing over the dirt model
roads built at that time, owing
to the failure to provide main
tainance fund. and their deteri-
Grafton during the disturbed
conditions of the war. still our
people have seen enough to con-
vince them that the best and only
practical way to have good roads
is to build and keep them in re-
pair at public expense by voting
bonds.

Only a Half-Baked Investigation.


The Alexandria Town Talk of
last Saturday volunteers the
statement that the comments of
the Chronicle of the week pre-
vious, relative to the food pro-
vided for patients at the U. S.
Public Health Service Hospital at
Camp Beauregard not being of
sufficient variety and nourishing,
are without foundation, and ii
says we were misinformed.
Town Talk appears to have
made one-sided investigation
of the doctors and nurses and
lady dietician of this institution,
and passed by the patients alto
gether.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Lewis, who
spent 8 or 10 days at the hospi-
tai during the forty days their
son was there, interviewed most
all the patients in the institution.
We have shown them the Town
Talks, comments, and they say
the Chronicle is right in its stric-
lures and they stand by what
we said. They do not base their
conclusions on the complaint of
their invalid son, but on the COM
plant of three-fourths of the pa
tients in the hospital. They COM
planned of canned roasting ear
corn, green's and potatoes and
other coarse foods being served
entirely too frequent to be pala-
table, besides it was in most
cases only half cooked and indi-
gestible.
Like Town Talk, we dislike to
be a captious objector, but we be-
lieve the case to be entirely too
important to, be lightly passed
over. Let the patients of the
institution be seen. and if they
do not think a change could be
made to more palatable and
nourishing food, then we have
nothing further to say.
We have no fault to find with
the doctors and nurses. In fact,
we understand them to be skill
full and attentive and well liked
by the inmates, but the commits
sary and kitchen seems to need
honest and thorough attention.
Let them be in keeping with this
great institution and Alexandria
and the State will have some
thing to be proud of.
