The Houma Conrier in an able
article last week showed very
clearly that the assessment in the
parish of Terrebonne is Just &C.
cording to the present value OF
property. 1t is absolutely ridicu-
lous to compare the value of pro-
perty in the country to-day, to
what it was before the war, and
the examples published by the
Courier shows the vast difference
that exists between the value of
property in anelebllum times and
what it is worth to-day. The fol-
lowing will give fair idea of the.
the present value of property in
the country:
The first plantation, Ardoyne,
is recognized as one of the largest
and most valuable plantations in
Terrebonne. In 1859 Mr.. A. A.
Williams bought Ardoyne from
j. j. Hanna and paid $4,000 for
it. In 1887 it was sold by the
State Nat. Bank to Mr.. j. d.
Shaffer for the sum of S47, $50.
Woodlawn plantation was sold
in 1865 to W. R., T. NJ. e. G. w.
Cage for S15O,OOO, and in 1888 it
was purchased from Mrs. S. C.
Pugh, by Mr.. H. w. Barton for
$4,000.
Aragon was bought at public
auction by Col. j. r. Bisland in
1853 for 100000. It was sold
this year to Mr.. C. B. Maginnis
of New Orleans for $4,000.
Front Lawn was bought by DR..
T. +. Robertson in 1859 for &c.,
362 cash. In 1887 it was sold to
MIR. Alfred Boudreaux by W. W.
Pugh of New Orleans for $4,000

"A Central Refinery.

We learn from good sources
that capitalists from New Orleans
are contemplating the erection of
a central refinery in this town.
There is certainly no better To-
cation for such an industry as
this town, having as we have,
transportation facilities by rail
and water. The surrounding of
this town is large, and most, if
not all our lands are well adapta-
BILE for the cultivation of the SUI
gar cane.
We are told that over 400 acres
of cane could be had this year
with prospect of over 1000 the
coming year. This, be believe, is
as good an inducement for the
establishment of a central refinery
as can be offered by any other
section.
We believe if our citizens would
take an interest in this matter and
present to t he promoters of this
enterprise, our resources in their
real light, they would not hesitate
an instant in selecting this point
for the location of the refinery.
Since writing the above we
have learned that Mr.. Charles
Hernandez, cotton factor and COM
mission merchant of New Orleans,
who spent few days in town WIS.,
iting customers and friends, dis
cussed the refinery project with
our citizens, and is very favorably
impressed with the resources and
advantages that this place offers
to such an important industry.

OUR BANK.

A bank in st. Martinville is an
institution our citizens will appre-
ciate, as its want has long been
felt by every one of our people
who have had any money transac-
ton either with home or outside
people. 1t is an institution which
is indispensable in a commercial
centre of any consequence.
For the last few years our bust
ness men understood that they
could not transact satisfactorily
their increasing business without
assistance and aid of bank, and
were consequently forced to 60 to
New Iberia for their banking tran
sactions; some time at great ex-
pense and INCONVENIENCE without
saything anything about DELAYS.
Yet the banks of New Iberia were
OF immense help and benefit to
our people even with these incon-
venlences. But now that we have
a bank of our own. in our town
our business men will have much
greater bank facilities. and we
trust that every one of them will
avail OF it and also help the insti-
tuition by making their deposits in
said bank and make their pay
ments in such manner as will be-
neht our bank. The bank will
need the people as we'll as the

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE RECoUNTING NONSENSE.
New York Post.7


Massachusetts still maintains the old
system of preserving the ballots for some
time after an election and allowing re-
count whenever it is demanded. This
process is now going on, at Speaker Bar
rett' $ insistenee, in the Seventh Congress
ional District. A number of petty vari-
ations from the first count have been
brought to light, but there is no Iikeli-
hood of any change in the result of the
election. The system is altogether
wrong. In the first place, there is never
any certainty that the second count is
nearer accuracy than the first, and it is
always possible that third count might
result in an entirely different set of
figures. In the second place, there
is always a chance that the bal
lots may be tempered with between the
first count and the second, and new
danger of fraud is thus introduced In
the third place, the preservation of the
ballots and the opportunity for demand
ing recount leaves the issue of any
close election uncertain for long time,
and prevents that ready acceptance Of
the result, which is SO desirable. An
election is held to elect-not to afford
various sets of men chance to count
over ballots number of times.
