NEW PLAYHoUsEs GOING UP.
Grand Theatre Co. Building in Houma
and to Build in Thibodaux.

The Grand Theatre Co, Inc. of
this city, is putting up a magnificent
new theatre in Houma. The new
structure is located in Main street.
on the site sadjoining the Bank of
Terrebonne, and is Of the latest APP
proved architecture. It will be large
and commodious and will be pro-
vided with thoroughly modern equip
ment. The stage will be large
enough tosaccommodate any travelling
theatrical company that may be book
ed for that city, with ample room
for the setting of standard scenery.
A large number of Workmen are en-
ployed On the job, and every effort
IS being made to complete construc-
tion within as little delay as possible.
While the Houma playhouse is be-
ing constructed the Grand Co. is
negotiating for the putting up of a
similar building in Thibodaux, as ev-
.idenced by the following interesting
article taken from a recent issue Of
the Commercial III ournal published in
that town:
sWell-founded reports are to the
effect that the local moving picture
house is endeavoring to get a cen
trail location with side and near exits
with view of eventually building a
playhouse that will be both an orna-
|ment to this community and a me-
dunn to accommodate their growing
business. It would appear that the
business having grown to such pro.
portions and its success having been
assured that new building when the
present lease expires is the right
thing. The hope is entertained by
many that in view OF the fact that
travel to this section has increased
tremendously with the building OF
gravel roads that modern theatre
capable Of staging the largest pro.
|ductions travelling, should be con.
sidered. Combined with movie
house a theatre should Fill a want in
| this community. Good theatrical at.
fractions, playing hereaonce and twice
a week, either going into or coming
out of New Orleans should find goos
patronage here at this time, and
would not interfere with the present
business because the screen snow
}could be operated tosWithin hall

| We trust the local company will con
slider the proposition and that if pos
sible we will have the pleasure o1
having combined moVie-house ane

coUNTERFEITERs AT WORK.
Bogus Issue of 1919 War Savings
Stamps Discovered.

Counterfeiters have found new
field of activity. According to re-
ports from the Treasury Depart
ments counterfeits have been dis
covered in this years issue of war
savings stamps. Departments of the
government are at work trying to

for the distribution of the fake re-
productions Of the little securities.
M. B. Wellborn, governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, has
notified all banks in the district of
the discovery. Silas w. Davis, gov
ernment director of the War Loan
Reorganization, the agency having
charge of the sale of thrift and war
savings stamps in this district, has
warned his agents to be on the look
| out for the counterfeit stamps. The
| Georgia Bankers Association has also
taken the matter up, requesting mem
lbers to guard against taking stamps
that are not genuine
Banks and stamp agents and post
masters are requested to hold any
iparties presenting the counterfeit
stamps and to communicate at once

CIGAR FACTORY COMING.
Large Concern Seeks Location Here
Offers Employment. to ! so Girls

Phil. D. Mayer, proprietor of
Mayors Cigar Factory of New Or
leans, manufacturer of the famous
FL Cubo and Magnolia Cigars, spent
the day in town last Monday, looking
over the situation with a view Of es-
tablishing a cigar factory here.
While in the city he was entertained
by Joseph N. Gisclard and M. F.
Bloomenstiel, local promoters of the
enterprise. They took Mr.. Mayer
over the town and showed him build
ings which might be available for the
location Of the proposed factory and
otherwise gave him every informa-
ton desired The visitor was most
favorabiy impressed with Donald
sonvllle and its surroundings and de-
i'clared this to be an excellent place
for the opening of a branch of his
firms business. He declared how
lever that at least $50 women and
|girls would be needed in the factory
and that if the services Of these can
be obtained, the enterprise will be
launched without delay. The. con-
cern offers to teach the cigar-mak
ling trade to the girls and to pay
them good wages while they ,re
learning, and assures them perma-
Inent employment. 5
In an sd which appears elsewhere in
this issue of the Chief Mr.. Mayer an
,nounces that he wants $50 girls for
work IN his factory, and it's sincerely
/ to be hoped that he will receive a suf-
ficient number Of applicants for posi-
{tions to justify him in launching the
enterprise. The work of cigar-nnaking
lis light, clean and honorable and pays
well, and all those who wish to learn
the trade, with the added inducement
OF receiving good wages while learn
ling should not hesitate to answer the
advertisement and send in their names
to the firm
Donaldsonville is very much in
need of factories, with weekly OF
tsemi-monthly -,av-roIls, and concern
(which offers to locate in our, midst
land furnish employment to not less
i than 150 persons at the very start
ishould be given every encourage.
|ment possible. Mr.. Mayer askes fol
no financial assistance; nor for guar
antees of any kind at the hands Oh
Jour people. He simply wants helI
lin the way Of employees to whom he
Iotfers good wages.
4 A large building will be rented
for housing the factory temporarily
and as soon as conditions justify, 8
site will be acquired and a large
modern brick structure will be erect
led.
1t is an excellent opportunity
which is knocking at our city's door
and every effort should be made t,

SEEK ARMS IN
TERRITORY OF
ARKANSAS RIOT

HELENA, Ark, Oct. 3.-Federal
troops from Camp Pike and local
possemen and state officers on riot
duty at Elaine, where race dis
turbances have occurred intermit-
tently since Thursday, resulting in
IS known deaths, early today pre-
pared to resume a search for arms
and ammunition secreted by ne
grces in that locality.
The race trouble, late reports in
Dictated, was fomented by agitators
who had aroused the negroes to
participate in an organized upris-
int; and the authorities were deter
mined to prevent further trouble
by obtaining possession Of all fire
arms in the hands of negroes in
the district.
TIC accomplish their purpose, they
sent parties of men through the ne
gro quarter searching houses and
outbuildings, where gun caches/were
suspected. An announcement Nmade
at military headquarters in Elaine
sain that about $50 rifles had been
taken from negroes who had been
arrested or at the homes of negroes
searched by troops.
Wholesale arrests of negroes have
been made, according to officials
who announced today 285 prisoners
had been taken to date. Of that
number 225 were under guard by
federal troops at Elaine and sixty
had been brought here.
The known white dead in con-
nection with the fighting remained
at five, including one soldier, Cor
poral Luther Earles, whose father
lives in SALISBURY, w. Va. Five
white men have been wounded
Eleven negroes are known to have
been killed and officials said that
number. probably would be in
creased when outlying spots where
slirmishes took place have been
searched.
The feeling prevailed among Off
ciais here today that the worst of
the trouble was over.
