A Contrast

Daily Ibezian.
We cannot but admire the little
band of men of Broassardville CON-
posed of p. b. Roy, his son A. J.
Roy, NJ. Billaud and the firm of
Estorge & Billaud, also v. Broussard
who determined to do something
for their town ard vicinity, came
together in meeting, and then and
there in the short time of three
quarters of an hour bound themsel-
YES to raise $780, 900 to build a
Central factory of $50 tons capacity
every "a hours, and contracted with
c. w. George to build same. When
it is taken into consideration that
Broussardville is very small place,
in fact the business there is done i'm
four mercantile establishments:
besides one drug store and one bar
room, and one Catholic Church
without pastor 1--WE hope the good
Bishop will see his. way clear at no
remote date to give these enterpris-
ing people priest to minister to
their spiritual wants). 1t is won
derful achievement; these gentlemen
are the kind to make successful any
enterprise they may father. Here
in New Iberia we have a population
of very near 5000 and we have
been trying or making believe to try
for the last ten years to get enough
capitaf to build a central factory
but up to date nothing has ever been

terests of a central factoryp Can't
we induce these gentlemen to put

For the past few days the very

When even a move of this kind is
made, it is alwaystadvisable to let
matters take a gradual course. We
do not believe in specializing on
theory. The refinery agitation last
week was one of too mature bloom.
Conclusions was made at haste, and
at the slightest s'hitch" every thing
was dropped as carelessly as *'hot
potato" Why not again renew the
subject, Mr.. Capitalists 1t may
be probable, that success may follow
at the next attempt7 With cotton
at it's present prices, we cannot but
see misery and hard times ahead.
The majority of small planters are
more or less indebted or mortgaged.
Sugar is our only resource; our only
expedient; and unless action is taken
by our people, we fear the next
"Coxey move" will originate on this
side of the bayou.
