That Cow O. Mime

That COW O mine which was welcome
friend at her morning and night calls Is now
to be Pittied, having to be staked all the
time in the hot, scorchng sun from morn
till night. Who would ever dream that her
fate was so near, when looking at our vast
prairies few years back.
1t is really burden to those having stock
and no pastures to put them in. One has
TO wade knee deep in the grass to stake his
COW or horse, and he mnst start carly in
order to give his animal a chance to fill up
before it is too hot; and again he must keep
them in close confinement during the heat
of the day. Considering our free and in
dependent country ali this seems quite
strange for the time being. The time might
eventually come to that stage, but really it
looks too early yet for this country. Could
not the stock law be amended little to
ease up on those having no way to keep
their stock except at the end of rope!
Suppose one would get his stock
on vacant lots with some to herd them in dav
time and pen them up at night; how would
that do? would it interfere with the pros
Perity of the town? or would it not relieve
those who are deprived of pastures and
are dependent on little milk for their
little ones. Let us hope that there will be
leniency towards the poorer class.

pafinG the minutes, arranging accounts, etc.
Is deferred until Tuesday, and ON Weclnes
day morning s'copy'' is furnished the ofaicia
journal without fail, which any fairrnindee
person will readily concetle gives ample time
tor publication on the subsequent Saturday
However on the occasion referred to the
| secretary completed the minutes by Tuesday
noon, and personal convenience and not per-
sonal preference, allowed The Gazette the
.'copy" for that afternoon. This done tina,
both journals might be accommodated,
without prejudice, or that any inconvenience
might result to any party interested. 1t may
be necessary here to explain that The Ga
zette, or any other journal for that matter,
has the privilege of examining the i:ial
record and taking therefrom copy of the
Police Jury proceedings. This would very
often prove disagreeabie and exceedingly
inconvenient to the clerk, who is response
bic for the safekeeping of the parochial ar
-chives- The contention of the Advertiser
that it has preference by reason of cons
tract to print the official proceedings is not
conceded and that there was any unusual
'tdetay" in the transmission of the proceed
ings is emphatically denied, as the .tcopy''
was pl aced in the hands of the editor at g
O'Clock Wednesday NOR ming by the secretary
and what is further the editor lost page 2 of
the copy and requested and obtained from
the secretary duplicate thereof. If the
Official journal receives copy of the pro-
ceedings on Wednesday morning, as has
been the case all along during the present
management of the Advertiser and for tina t
matter a practice followed by the secretary
since his installation in 1888, there certainly
can be no valid grounds for complaint. The
contention of the Advertiser to be served
first is extremely puerile and animated by
personal pique as is evidenced from the fact
that the complaint is based upon no other
ground than that of precedence.
The proceedings will be given whenever
practicable Wednesday morning, and
while the Advertiser will be accorded fair
and honorable treatment SO far as lies in
the power of the secretary, yet in justice to
all an impartial attitude will be maintained
as to the conflicting interests of the respec-
tive journals. The Gazette is entitled to
and shall certainly receive due consideration
in its efforts to advance the general interests
of the community. No doubt the Advertiser
will graciously accord the secretary some
little latitude in the matter of personal con-
venience as long as it COMFORTS with a fair
and reasonable allowance of time for publ
cation of the official proceedings.

Solid improvements.

Mr.. Martial Billaud, one of our
most successful and enterprising SUI
gar planters, has just completed the
sinking of a very deep well on his
sugar plantation near Broussardville.
The object in view was the testing
of the water supply to be obtained
there. The purpose of Mr.. Billaud
being the establishment of a sugar
refinery upon his place next year, if
sufficient water was found easy of
access A short time since the
Planters Well Co., of New Orleans,
Mr.. Paul Tauzet being in charge,
undertook the contract of boring
the well, and after 8 days labor
succeeded in obtaining a depth of
3oI feet and II inches, from which
large flow of the purest water was
obtained. The we'll is inches in
diameter and ~ inch pipe pump
tested $50 gallons per minute. The
volume of water in the we'll in
creased rather than diminished dur
ing the test, lasting "a hours. Rock
bottom was reached, and the water
issues clear and cold. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Billaud intends sink
ing several additional wells on his
plantation, SO we'll pleased is he
with the results of his experiment.
Messrs- Billaud, Estorge & Co..
of Broussardville, are erecting
large ginnery near the depot in that
town, and Mr.. c. w. George, of
New Iberia, the contractor, prom
ises to complete the same by Sep
TENDER I. Such enterprises as these
deserve the highest praise as exhib-
iting the energetic and progressive
spirit of the promoters. The real
prosperity of Lafayette parish lie,
it is now clearly evident, not in
ephemeral and spasmodic efforts to
Establish doubtful railroad connec-
tions, but it lies in the steady and
normal development of the material
resources of the country, such as
indicated in the two instances above
recited. as we'll as certain industries
wherein the people can contribute !
and reap some of the advantages of
their operation, as for instance !

The Advertiser VS.. The Secretary
of The Police Jury.

Editor Lafayette Gazette:
| The Lafayette Advertiser, in its last issue,
proceeds in rather pompous and bombastic
| style to arraign the Secretary of the Police
| Jury because he Gin utter disregard of his
duty, delays giving us the Police Jury pro-
ceedings owing to the fact that his personal
| friends in the Office of The Gazette have to
| be served frst'' etc. Now, so far as anv
| threats or efforts at bluff contained in the ar
ticle is concerned, they are as tssoun,liue
brass and tinkling cymbal'' and deserve no
consideration whatever. If the Advertiser
| has any rights that have been violated, or if
that journal has suffered any pecuniary loss
| owing to the 'sutter disregard of duty'' on
, the part of the clerk it is most respectfully
suggested that the Police Jury, and the
courts, if necessary, provide ample recourse
in the premises. The Advertiser should
not sleep upon its rights.
A smile of incredulity Involuntary passes
over ones countenance as the able editorial
repertoire proceeds to unburden its az
grieved spirit in the following pathatic Ian
guage: eve are really shocked that SO ut
terly conscientious person, should allow
his personal liking to override his plain Off
cial duty" This is truly the hardest hit
of all. Shocked yes, shocked The pc
culiarly sensitive temperament of the Jour
nal is admitted, and it must be confessed
by the conscientious secretary that he
had no intention whatever to disturb the
evenly balanced complacency or composure
as the case may be, of the worthy organ.
Everybody knows from the experience of re-
cent events in this parish and town that the
Advertiser has been shrewdly conducted
with an eye single to 'sbusiness,' and when
such sentimental gush is expressed it must
certainly be taken with grain of salt. But
this self-sacrifcing public servant very art
fully tunes "hddle' and plays Gig the
keynote of which is the popular chord In
truth the entire matter is narrowed down to )
a matter of personal pique, as between the
Advertiser and The Gazette. But inasmuch
as this article might drift into quite an ex-
tended discussion of the issues involved, |
without interest benefit to the general |
public, the writer deems it proper to con-
clude the entire matter, by making a state-
nent Of the facts, in the case, in order to cor
rect any msapPr ebension which might ex-
'st as to any injustice or hardship alleged
TO have been perpetrated upon The Adver-
tiser. Had these facts been stated by that
Journal no reply would have been necessary

THE OPPOR TUW/TY HERE.

Millions of dollars are invested in
United States bonds at per cent.
interest, per annnm; because they
afford a safe guarantee of protec-
ton to the original investment.
IF some of these investors felt that
they could place their money in en-
terprises with reasonable assurance
of safety to the money so placed, with
prospects of from 80 to $50 per cent.
profit, they would in all probability
be glad to embrace the opportunity.
But they must know that such op-
Portunity exists, and the people who
have knowledge of such, if they wish
to see them utilized, should devise
some means to make that knowledge
Known to those holding the money
The Gazette has commended time
and again that, not one but many
opportunities for the profitable en-
PIoyment of money exist right here
IN Lafayette. For instance, let us
take one opportunity in the shape
OF central sugar refinery. Would
1T prove a safe investment Yes,
because the cane crop"is sure crop.
Would it pay9 Yes, instances are
many where the capitalization was
eQualed by one seasons output.
Would the erection and operation
of one in or near this town paw !?
Yes, because the possible acreage
would be more than sufficient to
make it pay.
Let us take a glance at the situa-
6on. Within a radius of a couple
OF miles of Creighton's switch-a
mile from town. half dozen plan
tiers will sell some 5000 tons of cane
