STORY OF 4 SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains OF disease is the worst form
OF slavery. George d. Williams, Of Man
chester. Mich, tells how such a slave was
made free. He says. my wife has been
so helpless for i've years that she
not turn over in bed alone. After using
two bottles Of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to do her
own work" This supreme remedy for fe-
male diseases quickly cures nervousness.
sleeplessness. melancholy, headache.
backache. fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine Is a God
send to weak, sickly' rundown people.
Every bottle guaranteed Only ~ cents.

Sensational Developments Yesterday

NEW YORK. September 25-To-day's
developments on the New York Cotton
Exchange were of a sensational nature.

recorded. Shorts looked for a change FOR

perlenced were 20 be met with and the

A NEW DOLLAR.

Within the next few days there
will be struck at the United States
Mint in Philadelphia the most
unique and significant coin ISSUED
IN modern times. 1t is the Lafay-
cite Dollar authorized by Congress
in aid of the Lafayette monument.
This coin. which is a legal tender
dollar, bears upon It's face in baS-
relief double medallion Of the
heads Of NashingtOn and Lafay-
cite, and upon its reverse a mlnla-
ture reproduction Of the equestrian
statue of Lafayette used for the
monument. The inscription on The
dollar explains its purpose (struck
in cOmmemOratiOn Of monument
erected by school youth Of United
States to General Lafayette, Paris,
France, 1900.
The Lafayette Dollar thus serves
not only to aid the memorial work
but forms a new and beautiful tie
between the two great republics OF
Europe and America, and there
fore the coin must be regarded as
an international emblem. 1t con
stitutcs a most desirable souvenir
and mOmcntO Of the Children 5
Monument to the ''Knight Of Lib
erty," the Universal Exposition Of
1900 at Paris, and the opening Of
the twentieth century. The ,iml-
ted number issued will make these
coins extremely rare and i'll very
great demand. For each 1900 Of
our population there is ratio Of
but one Lafayette Dollar.

NEW IBERIA'S INTEREST.

There is a great deal, just now,
being said in the country press OF
tbis section about railroad build
inc. We hear these reports com
inc from all sides and our citizens
will do well to keep an eye Oh AL
these movements and try ana get
the best advantage possible from
apv such work i'll this section.
The following clipping is taken
from the Morgan CRY Review,
and was published under the cap
ton of "Another Railroad
From the Houma Courier of last
week we extract the following, and
hone it is true. One thing is fact:
That the owners of the land men
toned have been in Morgan City two
or three different times:
morgan City, IF recent reports
nrove true, will soon grow up to Its
pame It is said that the firm OF town
boomers. who built up Port Arthur,
Taxas have become interested In
making a port of Morgan City and to
carry out this project railroad VIII
he built from St. Louis to Morgan City.
The part,es referred to have bought
g., the State thousands OF acres OF
nra;rie land in St. Mary and lerre-
horne which they intend to dram,
5;u;de into lots and sell, when the
Norgan CITY boom begins. These pro
;ectors il ia said, are in earnest, ana
boye the millions back OF them to
make the scheme success.
The above may have no connec-
ton with what follows. If it has
not, and both cases prove TO be
true. then it means that this sec
tions means to be pretty thorough
" deve'o Ded, as far as transpor-
tation is concerned. We clip the
following from the Crowley Signal
of recent date:
f. Kennedy, who is connected with
the proposed new railroad that Will
run from Alexandria to New Orleans
will be here next week. Some time
ago Mr.. Kennedy was in Crowley and
he stated at that time that he would
return later and in all probability
would begin work on the road from
this end of the line. Talk OF this road
has been INDUCED in for long time,
and it is hoped some such action as
Mr.. Kennedy promises will be taken.
There is no question as to the advan-
tage of such a road, and once 1t is be-
gun and our people assured of its com.
pletion they will give their hearty
support to the project.
