J. L. Rusca are to the effect that the attendance a: each of the Institutions is unusually large end tlie prospects altogether promising.At the Donaldsonville High School the work of the session was inaugurated under the most favorable auspices, and the enrollment of pupils was perhaps the largest recorded on any opening day in the history or the institution. There were no formal ceremonies, but in addition to the customary morning exercises as conducted throughout the session brief talks were made by Supt. Rusca and Principal W. H. Miller, outlining the work it is hoped to accomplish during I he scholastic year and urging the students to co-operate in making the current session the most fruitful and successful the high school has ever had.The attendance to date is 462, divided by grades as follows: First92, second 5X, third 63, fourth 37, fifth 32, sixth 39. seventh 33, eighth 35, ninth 18, tenth 26, eleventh 15, special 9. The domestic science course, which is being offered for the first time this session, promises to prove one of tlie most popular in the curriculum. The op-oaing week of the session rinds forty-nine girls enrolled in this department, and the number will doubtless be materially increased as te work progresses and its value becomes apparent.Tli5 teaching corps of the various schools throughout the parish is constituted as follows:Donaldsonville High School—W. H. Miller, principal, mathematics; S. J. Durand, assistant principal, science; James Gray, commercial department; Miss Clara Stuart, music and art; Miss Elizabeth Butt, English and history; Miss Mary Edwards, domestic science; Miss Maude Womack, fifth grade; Miss Isabel Folse, fourth grade; Miss Freda Singer, third grade; Miss Jeanpe Landry, second grade; Misses Dora Kaffie and Annie Laurie Pujos, first grade.Gonzales High School — Charles Broussard, principal; G.

With elaborate and interesting ceremonies, conducted under the joint direction of Commodore Crawford H. Ellis, from ■ manager of the United FruitCompany, and the New Orleans Asso-sh ensign was lowered from the peak of the beautiful steamship “Cartago,” while a band played “Auld Lang Syne/* and the stars aud stripes of the United States was raised instead to the inspiring -strains .of Star Spangled Banner.”Appropriate prefatory addresses were made by Mr. Ellis, L. E. Bentley, representing Collector of the Port Murphy J. Foster; Mayor Martin Behrman, J. D. Hardin, president of the New Orleans Board of Trade; Edgar B. Stern, acting president of the New Orleans Association of Commerce, and Ernest \f. Loeb, president o! the Board of Fort Commissioners, after which the officers of the vessel were presented with their victorious in American licenses.Immediately following the raising of the new flag a salute of twenty-one guns was fired by a battery of c.;e Washington Artillery, and all the steam whistles in the harbor tooted their loudest in honor of the auspicious and momentous incident.As fast as the vessels of the United Fruit fleet reach United States ■orts their registers and flags will be changed.

Candidates will have until Oct. 30 to file written notification with the cJiaUman of the Democratic, committee of theirthe primary, and tie deposits to be required of the respective aspirants will be for justice of the peace, and $10 for school board member. The committee will hold another meeting here Sunday, Oct.

But the borer did not cease from troubling. Then the method was tried of leaving the trash unburned, but raking it to tfio headlands and plowing it under before the- next crop was planted. The result was more satisfactory. The reason for the reduction of infestation was traced, and the answer was simple, even io the layman. The There is a parasite which attacks the borer. The burning of the refuse from the cane destroyed the parasites as well as the borer moths, and when the new cane e;.me up the borer did not have as many enemies to defend himself against, and throve belter in consequence.-The tests in progress are along the line of developing more parasites. These destroy the borer, but do not damage the cane. Mr. Holloway will not only have some developments to announce at the end of the crop, with regard to the parasites under cultivation and observation, but will pursue the quest for still more powerful parasites.Porto Rilt; o has followed the para-site plan for several years, with excel fent results, and has scoured the l.nitt-d Btates, West Indies and even South America for beneficial insects. T ouisiana has begun a hunt In Arizona for a species tha; conveys promise, and has been informed that formidable borer and moth destroyers of may bo found in the Rio Grande val-all ley. After the sugar season Mr. l.oUoway will invade that section, establishing himself at Brownsville, Tox., whero ho hopes to recruit his parasitical legion. He also planned a similar expedition to Cuba, but the foreign war has made Uncle Sam draw in his puree strings, and science may have to wait for “flush-er” times. However, the work already in hand is expected to prove valuable.Mr. Holloway do with a similar campaign in conOak Grove Agricultural High SchoolL. S. Bolin, principal; W. M.

Such an occasion ought to bring out the best there is In any parish or state, for it is only by comparing the best results with moderate or mediocre effort that we arrive at a standard, or know how much can really be accomplished. The fair idea comes out of the “Harvest Home” festivals of other lands, but has a totally different object in modern times. The “Harvest Home” was merely a period of rejoicing that the harvests were safely passed and the grain secured for the long winter which was to follow.nection with the corn weevil. Indeclare those candidates without op position to be the nominees of the party.A vacancy in the office of justice of the peace of the first justice ward was caused by the resignation of Lan-Iry LeBlancwhich Louisiana is also- deeply interested.
