1t is safe to say there is not an
idle carpenter in Lafayette. This
speaks we'll for Lafayette and is
quite at variance with the statement
made recently by correspondent
of the Weekly Iberian. The cor
respondent, strange to say, has
found extraordinary signs of prog
ress at Cade, Broussard, Burke
and other places, but could not
see anything going on in Lafayette.
The fact is that many substantial
buildings are being erected in Lafa-
yetre at the present time and that
it was necessary to send to the ad-
joining towns for carpenters. The
unfrlendliness of the Iberian for
this town is proverbial, although we
are sure Brother Weeks is we'll
treated when he comes here in the
interest of his journal.

Registration.

In another column appears the
notice Of Registrar Martin. Mr..
Martin is acting in accordance with
the instructions from Attorney Cen
eral Guion, who in a letter on the
subject has expressed the following
opinion: "My opinion is that YOU
should open your registration Office
for the purpose of registering all
voters who desire to take part in
the election to be held in Novem-
Der. l think that Section az of
Act No. 100 of 1898 bears out the
construction that the office should
be open during sixty days before
each election, and in view of the
fact that the registration Offices
throughout the State must close
thirty days before each election, it
will be necessary for you to open
your Office ninety days before the
election of November"

THE CENSUS
For this District Nearly Com
pleted-A Few EnulnerataDrs
Still at Work.

MI. Cleeg, census supervisor for
this district, and his assistants, Mr..
Ralph Elliott and Miss Lizzie Bally,
are still very busy. Nearly ali
the enumerators have completed
their work. Mr.. Clegg is satisfied
with the work of the enumerators
and is confident that enumeration
in this district is thorough and re-
liable. Mr.. Clegg was fortunate in
securing efficient men in all the
wards and towns. The returns are
of character which shows that the
enumerators were not only able to
do the work, but were conscientious
and painstaking. The enumerators
of this parish, who were among the
first to get'through, have no doubt
taken census which will furnish
authentic information concerning
the prog ess made by Lafayette in
the last decade in the increase of
population and the advancement of
agricultural and other industrial
pursuits.
In two or three wards, where the
census taking was delayed by sick
ness or other causes, the enumera-
tors are still WORKING

THE NE W Orleans MOI.


Last Wednesday night all the law
less men and boys Of New Orleans
seemed to have congregated to do
all the harm in their power. The
account of their ugly work published
in the New Orleans papers sur
passes. in barbarity and cowardice,
almost anything that we have ever
read or heard about, not even ex-
cepting the fendish acts of the
Chinese Boxers. Surely all the
murderers, hoodlums and scoun-
drels of the CITY were in that dis
reputable crowd No doubt the
dastardly killing of the two police
men was enoug h to- STIR the blood Of
all men and no punishment could
demon, Charles. But we do not see
how all the negroes of New Orleans
can be held responsible for the
criminal act of one member of that
race.
Judging from the newspaper &C
counts, which are doubtless true,
the mob did not consider the ques.
ton of guilt, but was bent on kill
ing as many negroes as it could.
Fortunately the towards were poor
marksmen and many of the shots
proved Ineffective. The accidental
wounding of several white persons
shows the reckless and lrrespon-
slble character of the mob. Such
little regard for human life has sell
tries. 1t reminds one of the reign
of terror in Paris and of the Arme-
Man butcheries.
1t is but fair to state that the good
people of New Orleans were not in
sympathy with it. The New Orleans
papers have denounced the dis
graceful affair in the strongest
terms. The Daily States, which is
always the champion of the rights
of the white man. closes an editorial
as follows:
mob. The guilty negro was out of its reach
and there was no negro they could reach in
any measure responsible for the murder of
Day and Lamb. With a meanness as low
and contemplate that of ignorant negroes
themselves. they were inspired pretend
to be inspired by race hatred against the
negro We presume they imagined they
were initiating the language of gentlemen
when they hovled .sDown with the niegers!''
But there thousands of good, honest and
industrious negroes in this city; indeed, the
large majority of negroes such. and
every gentleman will eek TO protect them in
their rights of property. liberty and life. 1t
is only the lowest and meanest class Of
whites who cry out for or a raid on
the negroes indiscriminately.
The members of this mob have done
several things which they may congratulate
themselves on. They have put foul dis
grace on New Orleans; they have perhaps
rendered the negotiation of our bonds more
difficult; they have disgraced humanity; they
have disgraced the white people; they have
as far they could, disgraced the Demo-
cratic administration, and they have es-
tablished this: That hereafter, when some
lousy scullion ventures to say negro is as
good white man, every chlvaIrous gen.
tleman, instead of mauling him in his mouth,
will be impelled to say. eyes, and some
negroes are better than some white men in
New Orleans.''

HUNTERS CANAL.
One of the Largest in the C:Ossn-
try-Ten Thousand Acres
Planted in Rice.

Mr.. II. M. burke, Sheriff BrOus-
sArd, Judge o. c. Mouton and the
writer drove to Hunters rice canal
last Tuesday. The roads, covering
distance of twenty-five miles, were
in good condition a part of the way.
In the third, eighth and a portion
of the second wards of Lafayette
parish the roads we're found to he
splendid. From a point beyond
DR.. Lvons's home until the canal
was reached bog holes were not
lacking. The water from the canal
flooded portions of the road in Yer
million and at one time an enforced
bath seemed to be one of the i'm.
mediate possibilities of the future
Had it not been for the kindly as
sistance of a trio of negro labolers
and pair of mules three of the
party would have been compelled to
take a very unwelcome bath.
The home of Mr. CANNED, part
owner and manager of the canal,
was reached a: about 10 O'Clock.
Mr.. CANNED is not only q very en-.
terprising business man but is a
thoroughly hospitable gentleman
and extended every courtesy to the
party.
Hunters canal is one of the
largest rice irrigating plants in the
United States and perhaps in the
world. 1t is nearly twenty miles
long and about 400 feet wide. Al
though only a year old and in Sec
ton of country where the rice cul-
ture is in its infancy the canal will
irrigate this season over 10,
acres of land. This area is incon-
ceivably large when it is considered
that year ago most of the land
now planted in rice was not in Gull
tivation. If the enterprise is as sue
cessful as it is hoped it is expected
that next year 20. 900 acres will be
supplied with water. Mr.. CANNED,
who is rice planter of experience,
has every reason to hope for !
bountiful crop this season. All in
point to large yield and
to good market.
The construction Of the canal has
added greatly to the price to the
adjoining lands, which have more
than quadrupled in value. Most of
these lands were not adapted to the
cultivation of cotton nor cane and
were either planted in corn or not
used at all. An effort will be made
to run one of the laterals several
miles into the second ward of La
fayette parish. The citizens of that
section are very favcrably impressed
with the idea.
Hunters canal has transformed
thousands of acres of prairie land
into rice fields. A large area of
country heretofore unproductive
will now yield sustenance to thous-
ands of families aud handsome re-
turns to the capitalists who have in
vested their money in the enter
Prise.
