Gueydan.

To judge from the amount OF lum-
Der being hauled from the yards OF
Gueydan, farmers must be improving
and providing more c~onvenienees for
the home and comforts their stock.
A right move in the right direction!
And when every farmer can erect a
warehouse at home he will soon save
the cost Of erection in what now goes
out for storage and loss from sacks
being cut by rats, etc. When one
thinks of the thousands Of dollars
swept up from the warehouse floors
which rightly belong to the farmer,
but now 60 to the mills and ware
house owners, it is time some thought
was turned in this direction. 1t is
not the dollars M makes that make
him rich, but what he sayes. Now,
il every renter could only see that
the rent he now pays would soon pay
for q home, he wouldn't feel that SO
much Of his labor goes to some one
else, with so little in return.
Let US figure q moment on 1000
bags Of rice: 200 for water rent at
So, $500; 400 bags for land rent at
So, $1,000; you now have 400 bags
left. After deducting $500 for ex-
penses you have $500 left to meet all
living expenses. Where are we at?
If we pay 1900 rent why not put it
where by and by we will see some
thing for our labor. All can't own
large farms, But small farms, well
titled, should be the rule. Then
there will be care taken to improve
the soil instead Of taking from it all
one can, then try another while that
rests. Pay taxes and keep up all ex-
penses and have nothing in return !;
rather crawfish farming.-E. Nc. in

A Mess of Wires.

"We took occasion, last week to
call attention to the unsatisfactory
condition of the telephone service OF
this city and we had hoped that it
would be remedied and corrected.
Such is not the case. It is as lad as
ever. Complaints have come to us
from all directions. The moment
connection is made with any number,
there is a gabber of voices and tan
gled conversations that can leave no
doubt about the wires being crossed
ct many points.
Yesterday morning, we were the
unwilling participants in an import
ant conversation between two leading
attorneys Of the city, hearing every
word that passed, until we cut the
conversation by replacing the re-
ceiver on the phone. We believe
the main trouble with the service lies
with tangled wires and bad insula.
ton. We are not disposed to be un-
reasonable, but it seems to us that
ample time has been given, If the
company had engaged a sufficient
force, to rectify all the troubles in
the system"
The above sounds for the world as
tho written about Abbeville's tele-
phone service. But it is not. It is
just a healthy kick from the Baton
Rouge Advocate. VIZ do not think
MI. Thomas, the local manager here
Ia to blame, for we know personally
that he tries to remedy any evil COM
planned Of. We have seen him climb
ing the poles, in a cold rain with a
biting breeze blowing trying to locate
trouble among the wires. The fault
seems TO Us to lay in the faulty con-
~struction Of the plant. and as the SER
vice is constantly growing the trouble
increases with every new wire, that is
strung. When the electric light sys-
tenn gets in operation we can safely
look for more trouble. Now that the
company knows what the trouble is,
it is their business to locate the
cause and remove it.
