SUCCESSFUL. BEGINNING OF A PROMISING En-
TERPRIsE.
Mr.. Waterhouse was engaged Yesterday
laving off the Richmond Woolen-Alills
building. As before stated, the location
is on the north side of Bacon's Quarter
branch, five and half squares north from
the freight depot of the Fredericksburg
Railroad Company. The building will be
only one story high. but will be 146 by 146
feet. Six feet OF the sides Will be Of brick,
and six feet above them OF glass doors or
windows. The pitch OF the story will be
about thirteen feet, and, as will be seen,
will be amply lighted and aired. The floor
will be laid with Portland cement Build
ings of this character for woolen-mills are
now much in favor both in this country
and in Europe, as they give the machinery
solid standing. and in them ii is easy to
supervise the workmen, and there is no
running up and down steps.
There will be room for the employment
OF 125 operatives, though that number can
hardly be set to work in the beginning.
All, however, will be our own people with
the exception OF such experts as are neccS-
sary to the successful Inauguration Of the
enterprise. The operatives will be mostly
women and boys. A good part OF the ma
chinery will be bought in Europe, and will
be of the most improved pattern.
Mr.. Waterhouse expects that the mills
will get TO work in a few months. and he
proposes to exhibit at the Fair specimens OF
what the mills will be able to do IN making
ladies' shawls and blankets, though that
will probably not be the general line OF
their manufactures. II Is likely that they
will find more profit in heavier fabrics.
The fact that in a few weeks this enter
prise was gotten up and the necessary
$50, 900 subscribed shows that our people
are alive to the desirability Of diversfying
their industries, and that when a project
is started Alright it is apt to receive public
support.
The City Hall, the census, and the
woollen-mills are good beginnings for 1883.
The union depot and uptown hotel will
come along In due time. We are already
as well off as most southern cities; but as
some Of our contemporaries have remarked,
we do not think enough OF our adyan-
tages- we do not brag enough.

HON. EDWARD I. LEWIS.
Democratic Candidate for Congress from
the Sixth District.
Estate Central Express.l

Estate Central Express.l
The nomination Of Hon. E. Il. Lewis,
Of st. Landry, by the Democratic Con-
yention in the Sixth District is particu-
larly gratifying to the people in this
section, to whom he is we'll known and
by whom he is held in high estimation,
for his long and faithful service tes the
party, and by whom be is admired for
his eminent talents.
Mr.. Lewis comes of a stock who have
given the State some OF the ablest men
who have figured in her past history
and who in the field, the forum and in
the Judiciary, have contributed to the
glory OF the commonwealth.
Edward I. Lewis is a son of the late
w. B. Lewis, who for several terms
was Judge of the District in which Rap
ides parish was embraced and who was
a man Of great talents and of profound
legal attainments. The grandfather Of
Edward r. Lewis, the Hon. Seth Lewis
was appointed to position in the State
judiciary by Gen. Claiborne soon after
the admission of Louisiana to the
Union. Mr.. Lewis served with distinc-
ton i'll the Confederate army and at
the close of the war in 1865 enteredsup-
on the practice of law in this town.
He was elected to the State Legisla-
ture from this parish in 1866 and served
through one term.
He removed to Opelousas in st. Lam
dry parish in 1867 where he has since
resided.
A sound lawyer, and a man thoroug-
" identified and acquainted with the
interests of the State, possessed of
much experience in legislative bodies,
and above all a of unquestionable
honesty and integrity, Mr.. Lewis will
take rank in the next Congress with
Gibson, Ellis, Blanchard. Jonas and
King, who have done SO much to main
tain the reputation of our State and to
uphold the best interests Of the people,
We congratulate the Democracy of the
Sixth District on the happy nomination
they have made, and while he was chO-
sen over several able competitors we
assert our belief that the Convention
could not have made better selection,
or one that the people will more hearth.
" endorse. His election is an assured
fact as there will he no opposition that
is worthy of notice.
