greater than the entire registration two
years ago, This increase is shown in the
number OF registrations in some Of the
more populous precincts. The intention of
the charter Is that precinct shall contain
approximately $50 voters, and the present
divisions were established with that idea.
There Is now scarcely a precinct in the

Reader, did you ever attend a

gatherings generally for some
good cause, where one spends a

delightful mite meetings will be
given on All Halloween evening,

The depot is doing a ttremen-
dous business this year in freights
and tickets. One Of the clerks
said on Tuesday that it is surpris-
ing to see the amount Of goods of
various kinds which are being
daily shipped from New Iberia.
This keeps him busy about two
hours every day, and he frequent
ly makes out as many as forty
bills of lading per day. He said
that a great deal Of this goes to
Abbevi.le and other points on the
Abbeville Branch, and, too, that a
great deal is shipped mp the Ar
naudyille Branch Road. This is
largely due to the fact that seve.
raj of our wholesale houses send
out drummers all over this section.
Jeanerette and LOreauville are two
heavy purchasers from New Iberia
but most of the goods for these
points are freighted in carts and
wagons, which leave here daily
carrying big loads.

Gen. F. +. Myles, who developed
the Avery salt mines and who is
now developing the salt mines on
Weeks Island, was in Jeanerette
Wednesday, accompanied by his
engineer, Mr.. J. Fl. Hazlehurst
Gen. Miles interviewed a number
of our prominent citizens on the
question of rapid transit for Jean
erette. He is going to build troll
ley rail road from st. Mar,inville
to Morgan City. He says he don't
want any bonus or help; all that
he asks from the citizens and the
police jury is a right of way over
our public highway. Gen. MyIes
says his company have all the
money they need to build and ope.
rate the road and that construc.
tion will be begun just as soon as
the right of way is secured. In ad'
diti0n to the regular passenger
traffic and a tourist or pleasure
train that will be run, freight and
express will be handled.
Gen. Myles project met with
universal approval from our ciu
zens, and everybody hopes to see
the road built at once. Our police
jury, it seems to us should grant
the right of way unhesitatingly.
Besides the great convenience of
travel and the handling Of freight,
the road would be a great adver-
tisement to this rich and fertile
country, and would attract live
business people to come and settle
on the beautiful Teche.
Jean.rette is the most centrally
located town on the projected
road and her business men should
rise to the occasion and offer such
advantages and substantial in
ducements that will secure the 10.
cation of the power plant for the
line at this place. Now is the time
to act.-Jeanerette Coast Herald.

Present
Improvements
Which are Being Made
Throughout. the
Towp. Commissioner French
Gives the IBERIAN
An Idea of What is Going
On.

Noticing quite great many OF
new walks being made, and know
ing that the corporation has just
purchased a road machine, the
lBERIAN called on Commissioner
French for some details O. the
work in progress.
Mr.. French said that Schillinger
payements are being put down on
the Suberblelle and Fontelleu prop
critics on Main street, and this will
give continuous schillinger walk
from Mr.. Verrlel's property to the
Goguenhelm Building. Main street
is being rapidly paved with this
concrete. As soon as this piece of
work shall have been completed, it
ls the intention of the commissioners
to have quite good deal of the
same class of pavement done on the
opposite side of the street, but Nh.
French would not state IN what To-
calities.
A good walk has just been finished
from Centre street to Bank AveLue
on the east SIDE of Charles street,
and now 1t is being built up Bank
Avenue from Charles to St. Peter
ard down St. Peter to Ann street.
This will give residents in all that
section a chance to reach all other
portions of town in any and all
kinds of weather.
A new walk is also being made on
the Charles street side Of the syEa-
gogue property.
Another walk il being made on
the Washington street side of DR..
Persons property, corner Washing
ton and Weeks streets.
The town has just purchased q
road machiue which will be put to
work on Hopkins street from the
Bayou to LOurd's Lane. This ma
chine will require six mules to pull
it, but will do the daily work of
from IL to Is men, at much less
cost.
Duperier Ave. haa been graded
from the Bayou to the city limits.
and new bridge made whic is the
entire width of the street.
These are about all the improve
ments now being made. When
these shall have been completed, we
presume others will be begun.

Sheriff
Henderson
Fires Hot Shot into the Po-
lice Jury,
For the Low Salaries Paid to
Justices
OF the Peace, Claiming This
Encourages Crime.

On Wednesday last, Sheriff
George Henderson in an interview
with the Iberian, scored the PO-
lice Jury for their act few weeks
ago, Of fixing the salaries of the
justices of the peace throughout
the parish at very low rates. We
give what Mr.. Henderson says be-
low:
Since the Police Jury fixed the
salaries of the justices of the peace
about two months ago, there has
been nothing done in criminal mat
ters outside of the 9th, and Sth,
wards. The salaries then fixed by
that body, are S. per month for all
the wards excepting the 9Th, and
Sth, where they are Sl2 and $40
respectively.
For this So per month the police
Jury makes the justices OF the
peace deliver prisoners here at
their own cost. The result of this
is that they are not doing so and
it matters not of what crime a
man may be guilty he now goes
unmolested.
The system prior to this salary
law was to pay the justices OF the
peace according to their work.
This salary law was passed to re-
duce the parish expenses, but it
has acted as a boomrang. Through
investigation proved that the high
est the parish ever paid the JUS
tices was about $50 in any one
month, while now they are paid
$15S every month. OF course, the
justices were allowed fees from
their clients. They were SATISFIED
and yet no one was robbed; we
had no complaints.
The present system works a
hardship against the Justices. For,
instance, one justice in the 9th,
ward lives fifteen miles from town.!
another in the LIST, ward lives IL
miles from town. Wouldn't it pay
these two handsomely to bring in
two or three prisoners each per
month lose their time, furnish their
own vehicles, feed their horses ana
themselves here for $5 month!
l think this law is an incentive
to crime. The upshot Of the whole
business is that the justices VIII
hold their Offices, draw their sti-
pends monthly and do absolutely
nothing. Yet the expense OF their
salaries has been greatly increased

Pald Hi. Debt.

When Joe Chamberlain entered the
house of commons, he was anxious to
try his oratorical powers. A certain
leading politician, who was plotting a
bill through the house, was approached
by one of Mr.. Chamberlain's friends.
who said:
"Chamberlain would like to speak on
the bill. Can you give him a chance1"
We'll, you know, | think it would
not do. He's new member, and no.

Time went on. Chamberlain gained
ground-hecame q power in parlia-

contrary, had made Il series of blunders
which had imperiled his position. An
election was imminent Forgetting his
previous record, lie thought that il he

A Historic Die.

On the desk of the secretary of one
of the oldest copper manufacturing
firms in this city is steel die which
has served as a paperweight for 3j
years, and the coins struck off by it arc
now, for the most part, in the hands OF
collectors. This die was used for strik.
ing copper tokens which symbolized
the contest between President Andrew
Jackson and the old United States bank
of Philadelphia in 1882. The engraving
on the die represents President Jack
son. sword in hand and apparently
standing in Il money chest. Around the
central figure is stamped Jackson's ex-
preston, Il take the responsibility"
which arose out of his controversies
With the bank
When this die was made, the prede.
cessors OF the present company not
only manufactured copper Wire, but
also made n special feature of copper
coins, chiefly for South American coun.
tries and for private business firms
which made practice of issuing their
own copper coins to be redeemed by
them afterward. During the civil war
and just preceding it many private COR
.porations issued tokens which circu-
lated as pennies, and some of them ara.
