people who will come here, bringing
with them their clannishness and all
the selfshness that it entails.
To day Pennsylvania is crying out
against the trouble breeding Hunga-
rians, who are a drag to the sections
in which they are congregated. New
York has surplus of Italians, and
if they have proven themselves de-
sirable acquisition, the home people
have failed to find it out. Whenever
these people have settled in any
numbers they have forced out of en-
ployment the native labor, by the
fact that they subsist on what an
American would starve.
AS we stated before we want i'm
migration in this section. We want
that kind of immigration that has
made the West what it is to-day. In
other words, we want the people
from the West; we want the people
from the crowded East, in short we
want that sort of immigration that
will come here and be of us
But we don't want the waits and
strays of the squalor-ridden districts

IT Pr Us.

The Morgan City Advocate re-
ports that Mr.. Jacques Lehman is
finding that the steam capaeitty 81
his e4apnipg 33ase;;33rry- is not sufficient
to meet the demands made upon it by
the large orders that are pouring in.
His first shipment was for Tyler,
Texas. New Orleans will receive
$50 cases; a carload is ordered for
Galveston, and 800 cases are billed
for California.
This reminds the writer Of an in
cident occurring in Houston, Texas,
about eighteen months ago. Seeing
pile of boxes canned vegetables in
front of grocery store, he noticed
the shippers brand read: 49,
Rienzi, Miss. - and the thought at
once occurred to him, if some far off
factory could can and ship those
goods to Texas, why could not south
west Louisiana, where the lands are
SO we'll adapted to the cultivation of
all kinds of vegetables? His curios-
ity being aroused, he started out to
ascertain, and did, where is, and
what kind of a place was Rienzi. 1t
is a small town of about 200 people
situated in the extreme northern part
of the State. This factory is oper-
ated by family of seven, who must
can many boxes to ship as far South
as Texas.
We learnt further that these peo-
pie had induced the small neigh
boring farmers to abandon cotton
and cultivate vegetables. Instead of
realizing about STA an acre as for
merly, they saw their lands bring
them over S35 an acre with less labor.
The result has been that the factory
people are making money, and the
farmers are making money. And
all are commended.
Now, there is no good reason I'M
der the sun why a factory right here
in Lafayette should not pay hand
some returns.
And we are going to have one, one
of these fine mornings.

PUBLIC ROADS.

Periodically the press of the State
discuss the question of roads in the
country.
This rs the time of year that the
discussion has begun in good ear
nest, And their worthy efforts seems
to be appreciated, and needed, in
some instances.
There can be no question as to
the value of good roads 1t bene-
fits the farmer as we'll as the mer-
chants, in fact everybody is conve-
nienced.
The present system of working
the public roads falls short of &C
comprising any lasting good. This,
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1893-04-01

however, is not due to the law under
which this system is operated, Blu,
rather to the intolerance of those
called out to do the work. Time and
again we have seen crowds of men
gathered to work, and after throw
ing few sPadesful of dirt in the
middle of the road, quit, and then
wonder when the rainy season sets
in why the roads are in such terrible
bad condition.
Convictions, we know, are prac-
ticably impossible now, but the law
is not altogether at fault.
Create a public sentiment in four
of good roads, and then the law
would be found adequate to bring
the chronic shirkers in line.

Deserted Towns.

There are twenty well built towns in Kan
sas without a single inhabitant to wakcn the
echoes of their deserted streets. Saratoga

fine business houses, yet there is nobody even

but they silent. Some of her dwelling

bales, and it would sell for S or 6
cents a pound; therefore as long as
it would find a ready sale, neither
high or low, is proof that there is
always a demand for all that is made,
consequently it lis not the over-pro-
duction that creates panics.
But why not make other crops in
abundance, and have cotton as a
surplus crop. There are enough
working people al, over the cotton
states that can double their crops
of corn, potatoes cane, ETC., in
few years in decreasing gradually
the cotton crop, until they will rea-
lie that the time, is up to work for
themselves and not for spectators.
Can any man pay 12H cents per
pound for sailed meat and make
one bale of cotton to every three
acres of land planted, and sell that
bale of cotton at cents and make
any progress ? Certainly not, Why
then not plant more grain, and raise
at home that neeat and all other ne
cessities, and w. happy, and work
for ones 'sen, sastead 81 having the
nose on the grindstone; from year

We have had plenty of time, since
almost thirty years; commencing
with cotton at $I25 bale and gra-
dually coming down to. the present
price of sz5, toshnd out that at the
latter price it is next to impossible
to make living. What we want is
a diversity of crops, we want
change Of some kind, then let us all
agree to reduce Gotten acreage in
crease corn and other products;
plant largely in canes, raise our own
supplies, more-vegetables, fruits,
etc., and no doubt we will find
change for the Better Let cotton
be sold at what it may, and stop
putting it at the head of our hopes
and dependence for living.
I hope to hear in the future
general cry of down with cotton and
up with more grain and house sup

Did you ever stop to think how
many men of more than average in
telligence are spending their lives
working in the shops, the factories,
in the cities, working from early till
late, barely earning enough to sup
port their families, seldom accumu-
lating enough to own a house, and
with prospects of any day being
thrown out of employment, not sure
from where to-morrow's bread shall
come, not knowing but that sickness
or death would rob their little ones
of the necessaries Of life, and leave
them at the mercy Of the cold world?
Did you ever stop to think that a

paying high rent, not facing a dirty,
narrow street, but on our beautiful
