THE RESULTS OF BE TIER
ROADS.

During the past month the streets
of Lafayette have been crowded
with vehicles from the various
wards of the parish. From all &C
counts the local commercial houses
have transacted an unusually large
volume of busir ess. One of the
reasons for this increase in the
towns trade is the improved condi-
ton Of the public roads. The pres
ent system of working the roads is
UNNECESSARILY better than the one
formerly employed.
Were it not that the public high
ways are in good shape it would be
we'll nigh impossible for tie
hundreds of farmers living at re
mote points to come to town to DIS
pose of their cane and cotton and
enjoy the advantages afforded by
the local market. Never before
have our streets contained so large
a number Of wagons with their loads
of cotton, cane, com, etc.
This is as it should be. l.afay-
cite is naturally the trading point OF
the people living within a wide
scope of country. The road
should not be permitted to again
become impossible and we are
pleased to say there is no reason tc
believe that they will ever be in the
disgraceful condition Of few years
past.
The Gazette believes that the adj
yancement Of this town has beer
greatly hampered by bad roads we
remember the time when 1t was alb
solutely impossible for c''"ntr,
people to reach this town.
We were, constrained to write
these lines on this trit. subject by
desire to impress the people of tn
town particularly with the necess't.
Of having good roads. 1t is we'll t
cali their attention to matter witt
which their prosperity is so closet
connected.

the good prices prevailing, offered
every possible inducement to bring
out cotton rapidly.
A crop Of 1o,ooo,ooo bales, if
that figure were actually possible,
will barely suffice to meet actual
consumptive requirements, on the
basis OF Mr.. ElIison's reduced con-
sumption estimates, leaving cnerai
stocks in the same condition as a,
the close of last season, when it was
admitted that perfect cotton fam
inc prevailed.
No matter from what point Of
view the cotton outlook may be
| considered, the indications point
unmlst akably TO continuance OF a
relatively high range Of prices unit
another crop makes more liberal
supply of cotton certainty. The
general belief is that the higher
price of raw cotton will curtail the
consumption Of cotton goods, and
consequently, the mill takings O.
raw cotton. While this is
plausible deduction, it should no
be forgotten that the increased cos
of cotton cloth to consumers pc
capita will not be very considerable

His selection to hIl the position

The Rice Com bine.

Gueydan News.
The Crowley Signal Is perched
high alongside the driver in the
band wagon of the rice combine,
and above the din and flourish of
trumpets, above the stunning noise
of the bass drum and the rattle of
wheels as the ponderous vehicle
sweeps BY, the shrill voice of the
Signal, the only keeper of the true
faith in the combine, is heard howl
ing at US common mortals to ''stop
bowling" and to 'tget in line"
.sAll the worlds a show
In this case the audience is in
New York, but makes no sign of
approval, for the Crowley News
tells Us that only $4,000 had been
paid In a few days back. This cor
poration was organized to buy
sacks of rough rice, and to our
knowledge they have not vet bought
single sack. 1t is true Mr..
Gustave jain has lent his name to
the concern, but it remains to be
seen whether Jahn's prestige in
business will suffer or whether he
will succeed in making those OBJ
dura:e prospective subscribers from
New York put up the money.
In the mean time the farmer who
has been holding his rice from week
to week is becoming very impatient
One by one they are breaking awa>
and selling on the outside. lne
combine may possibly star hr,l"s
after the bulk of the cr',;' will h ,vs
been disposed.
The sooner the promoters Of tx
Rice Distributing CO. acknowledge
that they could not accomplish thei
object, the sooner all the mills he
gin to buy rice, and the sooner al
concerned take active steps toward
increasing the demand for GU
staple, the better it will be for al
interested in the rice industry.

Attorney General Hicks has decided
that the revenue taxes must be paid
on 1egacies of ten thousand dollars and
on this account a great deal of

Judges in the State. A short time ago

that the 1egacies were not taxable and
on this account it was thought that
large rebates would be made to some of
the local estates. However, under the
ruling of Attorney General Hicks the
legacy tax must be collected.
