We havo been favored by w. e.
Sa tterfield with the net results of
the sale of six acres of cane to
Messrs. Oxnard & Sprague, propri-
etors Of the Adeline central sugar
refinery Of St. Mary parish. These
six acres were some of Mr.. Satter-
fields poorest cane and yielded him
ninety-nine tons. the net proceeds of
which amounted to S414,68 or near
IL SO per acre paid for promptly
upon delivery. This is a short les
son that the numerous small farmers
around New Iberia ought to commit
to memory. Even if they have to
haul longer distance than Mr.. Sat.
terield, cane planting would yield
the handsome returns when sold to
large concerns like the Adeline
refinery, and besides it would he an
indncement to capital to erect a re-
fnery at this point than which, there
is no more favorable location

The New Orleans States takes
and very correctly, we believe. a
gloomy view of the labor strike in
that city. 1t says:
The parade Of the negro teamsters
yesterday who are on a strike, al
ried the mind of hundreds Of citi-
zens back to the darkest epoch in
the history Of Louisiana-the days
of reconstruction when an unsuccess-
full attempt was made to place the
white people Of the State under the
domination of the same class oil igno-
rant, insolent and vicious negroes
who last evening swarmed down
Camp street behind a fife and drum.
Public indignation was aroused ny
the TACT that sandwiehed among the
darkies were a number of the lower
class CT whites, so low indeed that
they were ever more contemplate
and degraded then their husky COM
panions. The parade would have
been a perfect counterpart of those
witnessed here seventeen or eighteen
years ago, had it not been for the
fact that one important feature was
lacking. The bnrly negro General
Barber with his mongrel staff Of
blacks and whites were missing at
the head Of the bowling procession.
What do the decent and self respect
ing white workmen think of the de.
monstration of yesterday.

The Iberia Building Association is

one of the growing institutions Of

investor in good need by providing
him with q necessary sum of ready
cash on short notice. Its stock can
be realized on in a few minutes

cash value which is far enough in
advance of the actual payments to
amount to a very fair interest on the
investment. The stock in Series
A, will mature easily in eight years
from the start of the series, each
share being worth 1924 now.
The Association has 100 share
