FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE
CELEBRATE AT WELSH,
Largest Crowd Ever Assembled In
The City. Celebration a Grand
Success.
Conservative judges estimate that
not less than four thousand people
were at Sportsmen's Park enjoying
the celebration last Thursday The
recent rains had permitted the greater
portion of the planters to shut down
their pumps for a few days, and this
fact together with the additional ones
that the day itself was ideal, and the
Welsh celebration had been thorough
lv advertised brought out the largest
crowd that has vet assembled to par
ticipate in the splendid celebrations
that have come to be an annual event
in this city. While practically every
body in Welsh and the surrounding
territory were at the celebration the
crowd was by no means limited to the
home people, for despite the fact that
celeBirations were held at Jennings,
Lake Arthur, Flton ani Lake Charles,
strong delegations from these as well
as all of the other towns of the parish
of Jeff Davis were here and took part
in the events of the day. Aside from
those who came in buggies. wagons
and by train, there were more than
sixty automobiles on the ground,
which speaks well for the celebration
and the prosperity of the community
as well.
Promptly at 11 o'clock, Hon. L G.
Lewis, Mlavor of Welsh, delivered a1
short address of welcome to the as
semble throng, welctiping them to
the city and its hospitalities. i
Dr, B. J. LaCour also addressed
the assembly in 1 rench, which he
speaks fluently extended to all a hearty
welcome.
Hon. John W. Lewisr of Opelousas,
the principal orator of the day, de
livered a splendid address, and inci
dentally complimented Welsh. and
indicated that lie had advanced, his
knowledge of geography by comiun 1
here. In this connection he said that i
heretofore, while he had often heard I
of Welsh he had always looked upou
is siimplv as a spot on. the map, but
when greeted by an audience which, lhe
declared could not number less tman
four thousand, he realized that Welsh
was one of the coming towns of South
west Louisiana.
Many complements were given the
Welsb. Band for the excpllent music
they furnished, one gentlemen,. who
comes from the extreme northern part i
of. the parish asserting that the excell
ent music, and splendid shade of. the
park, in themselves were a suficient
compensation for the long trip made
to attend the celebration..
Two ball games were played, which
resulted most satisfactory for Welsh.
The first game between, Lake Charles
and Roanoke, in which Roanoke won.
The second game was between the win
nee tand the Welsh team and resulted
in a decided victory for the home team
Two very commendable features of
the day were the absence of the annoy
ing fire cracker, which so often causes
accidents and annovance on tnese
occasions, and also the almost abso
lute absence of drunkeness and rowd y
ismt there being to our knowledge no
arrests or occasion for them during
the entire day. Welsh and her citizens
may well feel proud of the celebration
of July Fourth, 1912, from every
point of view.
The festivities of the day were closed
hv the iug dance hIeld at the Globe
Warehouse, where the vorth andti
beauty of Welsh and neighhoring
towns, trlpped through the fleeting
hours to happy strains of music fur
nished by the Lake Charles Orchestra
RICE ASSOCIATION IN

The Second Annual Convention of
the Southern Rice Growers' associa

lit that lhad come to the rice g.rowers

organisation of the rice planters.
Mr. Larkic,. seeretary of the Beau
mont Chamber of Commeree delivered,
a ringing address in which he laid
slecial stress upon the great value
that the Souther'n IIce Growers' As-
sociation had been to the rice growers.
He recalled the time two years ago,.
when rice was selling at from L.25 to
$2.00 per barrell and the gloom ofi
dispair prevaded the rice belt.. A con.
ferance was held: and the Southern
Rice Growers Association was organ
ized, zwd had since become a potent
factor in bringing about the prosperity
that exists in the rioe belt today.
The association, said the speaker,.
has been the means ofr bringing a iuil
lion dollars added revenue to the rice
farmers of Beaumont alone andtherice
industry has profited to the extenit of
tea million dollars by reaso' of the
stable marked and advanced orices
received for rice. And, this has been
accomplished without materially in
creasing the price of the cereal to the
consumer,
