IN VERY FEW DAYS.
Banks of Parish Join In
Pushing Sales Above
Parish Quota.
'lihe banks of St. Tammany parish
are not only on a sound financal
tooting, as shown by their state
/ments, but they have behind them
the bnusiness sense and energy that
noables them to make this excellent
showing. The first Lberty Loan
-was taken up by them and puidhed to
a valuable ahd successful subscrip
tion. But there were some who
'thought it would not be such an easy
matter to place the second loan, be
es use the liberal contribution to the
trat would use up surplus money.
St. Tammany parish was represent
.ed at the Liberty Loan convention
reeently at New Orleans, by E. G.
Davis, president of the Covington
.snk & Trust Company; B. J. Do
morgue, president of the St. Tam
:any Bank & Trust Company, of
.ovington; P. A. Blandhard, cashier
ef the Madisonville Bank, and E. A.
preritt, cashier of the Slidell Bank.
It was generally considered that the
abak would take an active part in
seeng that the loan was liberally
s-bsrifhed to, and the result of the
work of the (banks here shows that
V' tle same progress was made in
*.der sections the loan is already
largely over-subscribed.
Mr. E. J. Domergue was appoint
ad chairman of the Liberty Loan
SCommittee of this district, and the
Slergy Prith which this committee
{worked has enabled it to make the
statement that the quota allotted to
$t. Tammany parish has been over
.Maberibed $5,000. Our quota was
'-laed at $125,000 and $130,000
' as raised in two or three days.

JURY BRINGS IN
VERDICT FOR
LACROIX IN
CONTEST
Case Takes Up Entire Time
Of Four Days In
the Trial.
JURY FINDS VERDICT
IN 45 MINUTES.
Case Fought Hard By Both
Sides and Will Be
Appealed.
The oontested election case came
up Friday of last week. The jury
panel was ezlaausted and some delay
was occasioned in summoning more
jurymen. Court wpe adi rurned
from Saturday until Tuesday morn
ing and occupied the entire time up
to Thursday about 4 p. m, when the
jury brought in a unanimous verdict
for Lacroix.
Judge Reid, of Amite City, and A.
S. Burns were counsel for plaintis,
and A. D. Schwarts, F. J. Heluta
and J. Monroe Simmons ,were eoun
sel for defense.
This case grew out of the election
for mayor of the town -o Covlngton,
in June, 1917. the candidates being
-Rdbt. L. Aubert, on the Citizen's
ticket, and P. J. Lacroix on the Reg
ular ticket, who was seeking re
election. Preceding the election the
Citizen's League brought suit to
purge the rolls, twenty-two names
being submitted as not entitled to
registration as legal voters. The
canes came up before Judge Carter
and eleven names were stricken from
the rolls and eleven were decided to
be entitled to registration and the
privilege of voting. The election
carried for Lacroix by three votes,
the vote being 164 to 167. Judge
Read was then employed to contest
the election on the ground that a
number of votes east were 'illegal
and that several spoilt ballots were
counted that should not have been.
Judge Carter ded=ded the case
should be tried by jury. The origi
nal venire • was soon eilhausted.
Eight jurymen were obtained from
it, but one became ill and was ex
cused. The Judge then ordered a
list of fifteen jurors drawn by the
sheriff and the clerk of court, and
that none of them ,be taken from
residents of Covington. because of
the publicity the matter had receiv
ed here and the difficulty of obtain
Ing Jurors ;who had not formed an
opinion or who had not taken part
in the election. At the time the
new Jury list was drawn there were
no challenges left.
Tuesday morning a full jury we,
dbtained and the case proceeded.
There were a large number of wit
nesses summoned and their exami
nation consumed the day.
An important ruling of the Court
was made in the matter of contest
ing the votes of A. Gu+ol, Alfred
Rhody and Wade Burm, whom the
judge had decided were qualified
were qualified voters, in the suit of
the Citizen's League to have them
purged from the rolls, and which suit
was appealed to the Supreme Court
and is now pending. Defendants
exception of res Jrdicata in these
canes was sustained by the Court,
who decided they could not be at
tacked in this scit, as their status
had already been attacked in this
court. .
Plaintiff attacked the vote of C.
A. R. Fisher and Jos. Federico on
the ground that they were not nat
uralized citizens, but the jaudge rul
ed, on enceptibn, that these votes
should have been challenged at the
time of voting or that a suit must be
instituted to have the sames rpurged
from he roils. Defendant oounsel
read a deacsion of the Supreme Court
eupporting this position, although a
previous decision from the same
court seemed in conflict. The later
decision was accepted.
In the case of E. J. Memory it was
proven that he was not of age, both
by his own testimony and his birth
certificate.
Edward Abadl!e's vote was con
tested by plaintiffR on the ground
that he had been convicted of a
felony. The law declaring-that any
one convicted of a felony and not
subsequently pardoned with the res
toration of the right of franchise,
was not entitled to vote was read
to the Jury. Defendant counsel
argued that the suspension of sen
tence gave this right. This was de
nied by plaintiff's counsel and by the
Court.
Mr. lamar, E. G. DelCorral, W.
S.chumacher, Moris ILoyd, were de
clared by planttiff to be nonresidents,
having removed permanently from
Covington beforethe election. De
fendant claimed t as they had not
been absent six 'inaths, ander the
law they still hal the right to vote.
PlaintiLff maintain$. that here was
evident intention ofl a s·-change of
domei'e and that they farther show
ed this intention r n'ot having re
turned to Co -

MANDEVILLE
NEWS LETTER

flying straws indicate the direction
of the wind, so does the bubbling en
thusiasm now iprevailing, point to a
splendid showing from Mandeville at
the Parish F~aifto Tbe held next week.
The outlook in the Ibeginning was
rather discouarging 'but that ener
getic band of women of the local
Progressive Union, persistently ham
mered away, as only women can
when tlhey will, at the project until
results are so ghaping themselves as
to justify the prediction that the
Mandeville or fourth 'ard exhibit
will be a very good one, placing
Mandeville in the foreground where
it naturall 'belongs, and earning for
the above mentioned ladies the
crowning glory of a labor well and
faithfully done.
It is to be remembered that all
exhibits, irrespective of quantity and
quality, are to be delivered at the
W. P. U. hall on Monday, October
22, fro 3 to 5 p. m., wherey com

fear of loss or spoiling of exhibits
for they will be well cared for and

October 17th, the day set for reg
istration of women, was a big da.
in St. Tammany parish, and the re
saults show that no one hereafter
may question their patriotism or
their willingness for voluntary ser
vice in aid of the Government. They
are backing the President in this
-war, and they are doing it with
cheerfulnes and whole-heartedness.
The sdhool houses were used for
registration quarters and teachers
assisted in the reg.ptration, the1i
schools being closed on that day.
The streets of the verlous towns
were thronged with women beat on
doing their patriotic duty of serving
the country, and the occasion was
especiaily enjoyed by rutal regis
trants, who enjoyed the epportuaity
of mingling with their town friends
and neighbors in friendly discussion
of the events ef fte day and the ob
Jects of regstratied.
The women ouand keen pleasure
in the fact that no deputy sheriffs
were needed to keep order and that
they would carry out systematically
and without a hitch the immense
job that had beean given' them by
Uncle Sam.
Ninety per cent of the women reg

The permission to g+oup ages, be

was taken advatage of by some, and
those. who expected to refer to reg

some dear and particu.lar friend may
be disappointed.
In erder to accommodate those
who were not abl to register on the
17th, any woman in the thirty- two

Owing to the controver t between

to dai re safe deliveries of garmeats''
and diminish the cost of the wooL "
The following letter from the '

New Orleans, Oct. 15, (1517.
My Dear Mrs. Salmen:-In ai in
terview with Mr. Stier since I saw
you Thursday, we asked it we might'
retain your section as one of our
,branches, but his impression was
that you would have to join the Cov
ington branch, just stipulating that
your work was to be for the Navy.
The wool you are already Working
up, however, belongs to the Na.y
Comforts Committee, of Slidell, so it
you have any special appeals from
say Blidbl boys you ean send your
garments to us with their nasmes snd
ship addresses and we will see tha '
they to as you wish. Of course, thibs
permission only applies to the wool
we were already working; in the
future all must go through hike Red
Cross chapters. If yon desire to
send the garments already inished
to your Slidell boys yourselves just
kindly send us a report of what you
have fnished that 'we may keep otr
wool books straight.
With great regrets that we ," '
not keep you as one of our branche,.
I am,
Very truly yours,
mLAMANOR . MOSS,

Thre Slidell League feels very much
complimented in that it was the only *
branch for which the above request
