This town is at least several hundred years

And surely is due for a little speed burst.

The Donaldsonville chief., 1922-10-07

The very heavy rain which fell
here his morning and which was ap-
parenly general throughout this sec
ton, it is feared will have the effect
of materially reducing the very large
attendance of visitors which was ex-
pected here for the opening day of
the South Louisiana fair, tomorrow.
The roads leading to Donaldsonville
from all directions which heretofore
were in fair condition, were flooded
by the heavy rainfall and at points
where new levees are in course of
construction Immediately below this
ctiy, in St. James, and in 1berville,
may become impossible and prevent
the coming of large number of peo-
pie who had planned to visit the Fair
City tomorrow.
This is, exceedingly unfortunate,
as all preparations have been compile
ted and the stage is all set
for the formal grand opening to-
morrow at II o'clock a. m.
Promptly at that hour, Mayor Joseph
N. Gisclard will deliver an address
of welcome and will be followed by
Mayor Andrew McShane of New Or
leans, who will officially open the ex-
position.
The buildings and grounds are all
in frst-class condition and every
effort has been made by the manage
ment to please and satisfy the ex-
hibitors and to make the visitors
comfortable.
The exhibits of swine, cattle, prize
poultry, flowers, agricultural and
manufacturers products, high school
art, automobiles, etc, will be more
numerous and varied than ever before
and are expected to attract the at
tention and please the many visitors
who are expected here for the event
The better babies contest, will as
usual, attract keen interest, and the
United States cruiser Birmingham and
the navy seaplanes which will be here
on October 13 to IS, will no doubt
come in for their full share of at
tention.
The free attractions which will be
offered every day and night will con
sist of balloon ascensions, parachute
drops. Marvellous Melville, former

Beauties Of the Mississippi by night

nesday, October, II, when the steamer
Capitol, largest stern wheel excursion
steamer on inland waters, makes its
appearance at Dona1dsonvillc for one
Moonlight excursion dance. On its
way to New Orleans, the Capitol will
stop here and give amusement lovers
the terat Of the year. The big boat
is by far the most beautiful craft
afloat and together with it's excellent
entertaining facilities will be the most
unique and enjoyable event to be rec
orded in the amusement annals Of the
city. A ballroom which is oriental
in design and presided over by the
kings of syncopation, will! give all
Presidents of the city an opportunity of
disporting themselves at will in terp~
sichorem pleasures. The Capitol's
famous ten-piece Syncopating Band
of st. Louis, acclaimed the best Jazz
orchestra in the middle west, will
perform in the big dancing pavilion
throughout the evening. In addition
to the lure of the large ballroom,
those boarding the Capitol will find
hundreds of lounging chairs and rock.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Revenue for 1922 Pensions Wiped
Out By Three Quarterly Payments.

The Confederate veterans of the
state of Louisiana, and widows Of
veterans who are on the pen
sion list, will receive only three
quarterly payments of 500 each,
or total of 1910 instead of
$3.50 this year, according to the in
formation conveyed in a letter from
the state auditor which accompanied
the checks to cover the third quarter,
|sent out October /. This the auditor
states is due to the fact that there
was considerable increase in the
number of pensioners from January
l, 1921 to July !, 1922.
The letter reads as follows:
TO CONFEDERATE PENSIONERS.
Baton Rouge, La. Oct. /. 1922.
At meeting of the State Board of Liqui
dntion held September S. 1922, reports
were received from the state auditor and
State Pension Board showing that the entire
revenues for pensions for 1922 had been more
than wiped out by the payments made dur"
ing the first thrce-quarters of the year, in
clud;ng checks sent out October J..
The amount available for pensions in 1929
under the three-quarter mill tax is $l,125.e
600 at the outside. A balance of 1912, ,000
was left from 1921. This gives total OF
$l ,39i 900 Tor payment OF Confederate pen
sions during the present year. Checks drawn
to the Confederate pensioners the rolls
for the first three-auarters of 1922 total
$1.406,292. This creates a small deficit and
leaves nothing for the balance Of the year
The State Board Of Liquidation unanimous
ly resolved to recommend that the checks
for the third quarter of 1922 be sent out
as contemplated and to advise that no fur
ther payments of pensions be made in 1922
In 1920 a total of $965.099.S2 was paid
for pensions. In 1921 the tota! was 81
PSI, ,973.62. AS shown. already there ha@
been expended in 1922. for the first three
quarters, $1,406,292.GO. The list of pen,
soners has increased from 5221 on January
l. 1921, to 1904 on July ], 1922. On tho
basis of the payments for three quarters
of 1922, the Confederate pensioners will re
| ceive $270 for the year. at the rate Oi
$22.50 per month. The revenues ~ tb,
state do not permit greater payments.
The assertion of the Board OF LiquidatiGl
against further pension payments for 1922
was taken with greater reluctance and Ia.
gret and only because lack of money &
| make additional payments made this i'm
perative
| In view of the financial situation, tha
State Board Of Pensions. at special meeting
held September s. 1922, decided that n.
additional names should be placed on tbs
pension rolls at this time

Barrow New Cane Specialist.

CD. Gouaux, who has been serv-
ing as sugar cane specialist in the ex-
tension department of the Louisiana
State University for several years, has
resigned his position to accept en-
ployment with a large planting COM
pany in Florida, where sugar cane
experiments will be conducted on
some of the cutover lands. Mr..
Gouaux's work will be continued by
D. N. Barrow, formerly in charge of
the extension schools of the state.
1t is felt that Mr.. Barrow is eminent
" qualified to fill this position, being
a graduate of the Louisiana State
University, and for fifteen years as
slstant director Of the experiment sta
ton of that institution, and five years
assistant director of Calhoun expert
ment station. Mr.. Barrow also work
ed for three years at the Audubon
sugar station at New Orleans. All
sugar cane experiments that are now
being conducted throughout the state
will be taken care of by Mr.. Barrow.
Attorneys representing the state Of
Mississippi and representing the va
rious railroads involved in the $4O,-
100000 anti-merger suit, which has
been on trial at Meridian, Miss, for
several weeks, have been given thirty
days in which to prepare and submit
their briefs to the chancellor before
whom the case is on trial. It is ex-
pected that it will be three months
before the chancellor's decision is
handed down. The suit has been
pending nine years; having been filed
by Attorney General Ross Collins
in 1918.

"YOUR BEST FRIEND
Wonderful Picture to Be Shown a
the Grand Next Tuesday.

Reviewed at the Stanton Theatre,
Philadelphia, where it was shown to
| a fastidious crowd that taxed the ca
pacity of that spacious house, "Your
Best Friend" brought tears to eyes OF
every one who looked on, and when
! the final flash faded away into fms
there wasn't dry handkerchief in
the house.
There was no exaggeration of moth
er in this picture, for in the hands OF
Vera Gordon, that earthly angel rep
resented every ideal and every con-
ception of the character all love so
dearly. She was true to life, anxious,
sometimes perplexed, at other times
plain, and again there were times
when she was so real, so good, so
Ilovable that she seemed to step off
the screen into real life and plant a
cheering kiss on your quivering lips,
quivering because of the treatment
Ito which she had been SO unjustly
subjected by an ambitious, but negli-
gent son, a daughter-in-law who was
Igenuine, but could not understand,
land "ritzie" mother who saw the
light of day but too late.
"Your Best Friend" is a human
document, for there is nothing that
happens in this feature that does not
Itranspire in real life. You know
every character. You identify every
move. If you liked Vera Gordon in
"Humoresque" you will idolize her
in this production. There have been
mothers and then some, but the
mother that Vera Gordon portrays
lis the one that is making life the
cheerful thing it really is. Harry
Rapf can justly boast about this pro-
lduction, for his production is monu-
ment memorial of the dearest thing
in the world.
Scenically, it is simple with most
of the sets interiors. It is cleverly
produced, and the story, written
about mother.
| Don't fail to see the picture at the
Grand Theatre next Tuesday.
The twenty-sixth annual conven-
Ition of the Grain Dealers National
