time.
The Louisian Confederate V<
terans as »em bled in con vention
ui Opelousas last Wednesday
Thuisday and Friday, winding
up Saturday morning. The peo
of that progressive town showed
the wearers of the gray an excel
lent lime, as is always the case
with alt conventions lu-ld in that
hospitable community.Much rou
tine business was transactedand
the veterans were of course ad-!
dressed by His Excellency and
he told them how much his ad
ministiution was doing for them
and how much more it had doHe
than past administrations; but
there are undoubtedly some who
must have thought that with thei
increased resources and assess-1*
ments of the sjate that still
much more could have been done,
were it not for the fact that poli
ticans can only see first the nec
essity for paying political obliga-1
tions and therefore waste money
that could be given the vaterans
by creating useless offices and in
creasing salaries, and only giving
them compliments.
General Thomas Shaffer of St.
Mary was again re-elected Com
mander of the Louisiana Division
of the Veternas. This distin
guished gentleman, high princi
pled and with the love of state at
heart, is the first in the history
of the association to be re-elec
ted to this office two consecutive
terms. The high honor thus
paid him by his comrades was
well deserved and the benefit
they will reap with such a grand
old head is bound to redound to
the good of the organization. Mr.
B. F. Richardson of New Orleans
was also re-elected by the Sons
of Confederate Veterans, who
were also assembled in conven
tion at the same place to wield
its destinies for another year.
The delegates from this camp were.
Mesers. L. J. Trosclair, Franklin
Aucoin, J. Paulin Ledet and Mr.
smith, of Houma.Mr. Aucoin is en
thused over the reception and verv
high in the praises and gave us the
full details, which we regret space
forbids us from inserting. The
homes of the people were thrown
open, champagne flowed like water
and there was a regular old time
welcome for all. Opelousas and its
people will ever be remembered by
him and his companions.

Big Fire.
A sudden and disastrous
came very uear wiping out
fire
the
Times Democrat office in New
Orleans last Tfc ursday night. It
was after midnight and the night
force had no little trouble in es
caping from the burning buil
ding. The loss is not total how
ever, and the old Times Demo
crat can continue roasting the
«administration. The Picayune
extended all courtesies and

it« unfortunate brother and neigh
bor. The fact is last Friday's
Times Democrat was the Pica
yune with a Times Democrat
headline. Just naturally a fellow
feeling. We rejoice that the fire
was notas injurious as it could
have been and regret deeply that
the Times Democrat should have
been so inconvenienced., besides
losing quite a bit.

I, Anatole J. Braud, President, and I, Kleber J. Braud, Cashier of the above nam?d bank,
do solemnly svvyar that the foregoing statement is true and correct to the best of our knowledge
and belief.
Sworn to and subscribed before me, the undersigned authority, this 1st day of Oct, 1910.
CHAS. j. COULON, Notary Public.
In offering the very Hlrong foregoing statement, we feel that the tirst duty of a well managed bank is to ita
Depositors—the business of this bank is conducted along these lines, which is iu truth, SECUK1TY and CON SEK \ ATISM
Vafctv is considered before profits.
We feel'justified in asking for your lousiness, assuring you always, courteous treatment and satisfactory service.
No business too small not to receive due attention.
Aswell Is
Getting Hot
Ex Superintendent loses patience at the
unfairness with which he has been trea
ted and gets weary with the Governor.
Wires him to ascertain the reason for the
report being delayed and up to this
writing fee has received no satisfaction.
If the administration was not ready to
substantiate its charges, it might have
held them back and if iiow they are un
founded they should be made to pay
poualty.
Ex-Superintendent Aswell has
at last lost patience at the manner
in which the Governor has been
treating him. The administration)
as is already known, has seen fit to
allow charges and insinuations to
fill the air against a gentleman,
questioning his honesty and are
loathe to make public the facts up
on which they base their state
ments,
For several months has this mat-
ter been dragging,so much so that it
has kept Mr. Aswell in a very un
enviable position to be charged
with dishonesty und not to be able to
know just wherethe charge is found
ed. The least that could have
been done would have been
to let him know. He now de
mands in a wire to the Governor
that the report be given to the press.
Of course there is another excuse,
for the Governor has a special store
piled to the ceiling with excuses
for any such occasion-and for fail
ing to carry out pre-electien promi
ses.
Archie is now in Virginia, but
where was he before and why
should the Governor hold any re
port in his hands so long ? If the
people are not entitled to know facts
of this nature, after they have been
compiled, who is ? Why should
the Governor take his time about
such a serious matter ? bureyhe
would not make politics out of it ?
He is no politician. So there are
people who spent their vacations
criticising him and he does not care.
but he dees sit up and take notice
and he may soon take a longer va
cation than he had anticipated, a
vacation from public life. The ad»
ministration has not been square
with Mr. Aswell and while we are
not Aswell boosters by any means,
we believe in the square deal and
fair play—give every man a fair
chance and take advantage of m
one.

junction «vith the Hiawatha Con-'

were more invitations issued
and while the Hiawatha Band
rendered good music, it was a

the dancers here prefer string

Organization controlled by men who have

—says Democrats were right in giving
aid to Republicans in Tennessee.
Senator Robert L. Owen, Demo
cratic Senator from Oklahoma,
pounded some pretty hot Democra
tic doctrine last week in St. Louis,
according to press reports. He is
anxious to organize a club of un
desirables in tke party and rule out
of its ranks a number of men, nam
ing four.Boss Murphy of Tammany,
New York,Roger Sullivan of Illinois
Governor Patterson of Tennessee,
Mayor andDahlman of Omaha, can
didate for Governor of Nebraska.
Going on further he says : "How
can the Democratic party expect to
win if it does win a temporary vic
tory; how does it expect to make
progress with such men in charge
of its organizotion ? The Democra
tic party must be purged of its un
desirables, he continued, before it
can expect to make headway. The
tariff is not the first problem which
confronts this country. The first
is to have honest, patriotic men
in authority, and without them
nothing can be accomplished. The
tariff cannot be revised for the bene

FREE BRIDGES
TRET
G
Northern capital most emphatically ob
jects to being held up for toll on bridges
that should be free.
Nurtliern capitalists looking for invest'
ments in Lafourche, make above state
ment and say it retards progress
This must have been a sore statement to
the moss backs who believe in toll
bridges but principally to private in
terests who are retarding the parish for
their special benefit
A despatch to the Picayune last Satur
day from Lockport con tians good argu
ment for free bridges and is in keeping
with the statements we have bean repea
tedly making iu our light for free bridges
Visitors, people who come here with a
view of investing and heto)iug us build up
the parish, give expression to the objec
tion to toll bridges and stamp the relic of
barbarism as un progressive and as unfa
vorable to devolopment., and to capital
taht hud all other conditions favorable,
but emphatically object to excessive canal
tolls and "to being held up by unreason
able and arbitrary charges for passing
where PUBLIC HIGHWAYS SHOULD
EXlST"--in other words bridges being
public highways should be free.
The article, which speaks for itself
and
goes to demonstrate the fact that intelli
gent people can not conscientiously hold
out for toll bridges against free bridge»
for the public good and that it is purely
selfish and monetary views, çreedfor easy
money that prevents free bridges in La
fourche in that toll bridge interests have
the public officials of this parish in their
grasp and theydare not stand for the pub
lie good.The article reads:
"A party of Northern people spent part of
this week in Lockport and vicinity, look
ing over reclaimed lands with a view of
purchasing or making report to other in
dividuals and corporations, who contem
plate buying land here. The party was
composed of L)r. and Mrs. W. J. Ititchie,
of Youngstown, Ohio; T. P. Nesbit, a
real estate man of Chicago. 111., and W.
S. Williams, of Chicago. In his capacity
of confidential adviser of bonding com
panies, Mr. Williams visits different sec
tions of the United States in which these
compauies contemplate investing. Mr.
Williams visited the model farm at Smith
port plantation and the Fay port planta
tion, which three years ago was a wilder
ness of wild grass, but which how con
tains fields of sugar cane, which will pro
duce fifty tons to the acre, and the tlacç
i prarie, whero he reported seeing

coaditlo ' nS) and the ease with which for
merly supposed waste places can be trans
formed into productive farms and planta
t tions. The unfavorable conditions, com
mented on by Mr. Williams are the exces
sive tolls charged by the owners of canals
through which it is necessary to pass in
order to reach the reclaimed sections of
the prairies, and for crossing public
bridges over the Bayou Lafourche. He
says that those things have a tendency to
frighten off capitalists, who find all other
| conditions favorable to investing large
sums of inohey in development work, but
who most emphatically object to being
heldup by unreasonable and arbitrary
charges for passing where public high
ways should exist.

not guilty, which is received
without demonstration.
Judge Martin warned audience which
packed the court room to refrain from
making any demoustration.
As was stated last wei'k in
these columns the selection of the
jury in the case of the State Vs.
Scott,charged with the murder of
Gus Adams took up the greater
portion of iheday. The jury was
composed as follows:-CamilleNa
quin, Emile Leonard. Willie
Brown, Sylvestre Boyer, Augus
tin M ay et, Anatole Borgne, E. J.
Richard, Dr. G. E. Trosclair, Tre
ville Guiiloit, Ernest Picou,Octave
Keller and Albert Poise, selected
in the order mentioned.
Dr. A. J. Meyer, Coroner of
the parish,was the first witness,
he described the wounds stating
there were six perforations in
the body caused by four pistol
nails. He was cross examined
on the effect pneumonia had on
an individual aud stated it weak
ened and caused loss of vitality.
He identified the ball taken from
Gus Adams body and was follow
ed by Deputy Clerk P.J. Aucoin,
who stated how it came into his
possession, completing the iden
tification: Andrew Braud saw
the accused and deceased ex
changing blowsand saw deceased
on top of accused aud saw Scott
as he was firing, and staled that
deceased was advancing on him,
he was succeeded on the stand
by Willie Anderso # n, colored, who
testified to the same. Armand
Bourgeois practically recited the
same story and added to it. He
was with Adams whem Scott met
him and Scott toid witness that
he had removed the dam in the
canal, he was coming from that
direction and witness and de
ceased were coming from the ba
you. Deceased and accused then
dared one another about closing
and opening the dam and de
ceased said that he would dig
pits along side of tbe tramway,
which was on Scott's land and
use the dirt, whether he needed
the dirt or not. They then mixed
blows and Scott got the worse,
deceased throwing him to the
ground and pounding him, until
Scott cried out enough and Bour
geois pulled him off. Scott then
got up and stood on the track and
cursed deceased, whereupen he
rushed on Scott to strike him
again, at which time Scott drew
his gun and fired as quickly as
he could. Luke Boudreaux then
testified that he was renting land
from Scott to make cross ties
and that deceased was his fore
man and had dammed canal to
llout ties at his express com
mand.
The defense then introduced
Drs. Stark and Klienpeter who
testified to the fact that pneu
monia as a rule weakened the
lungs and weakened a man gen
erally. Dr. Stark was also fami
liar with the scene of the crime
and stated that the place where
Scott's head had rested, while
his face was pounded, was either
a tree stump or rail, as il was
evident that there had been some
resistance; he had dressed his
face, in the sheriff's office, .when
he had surrended. Dr. Klien
peter had treated accused for
pneumonia two or three years
ago and since had been consulted
by him for short breathing.
Accused then took the stand
in his own behalf and stated that
he was agent for his mother, sis
ters and brothers, that he had
opened the dam which was inter
fering with work on his place
and that when he told Bourgeois
of it, Adams interfered and beat
him, placing his head against
the stump of a tree he pounded
his face into a jelly, getting up
fie cursed Scott and thinking he
would rush on him and beat him
again, he shot him four times,
or as many times as he had shots
and as quickly as a double action
revolver could be discharged.
This closed the evidence and
the District Attorney, H. M.
Bourg, opened for the state re -
viewing the evidence and was
followed by Mr. Howell of the
firm of Howell & Caillouet who
presented the facts and relied on
self defense in the case. Judge
Beattie of th« firm of Beattie
andßeattie followed reviewing the
evidence and quoting the law and
making reference to cases in point,
