THE RICE MARKET.

Demand for the week has been
of goodly proportions quite in ex-
cess of equal period last year.
Prices are well sustained and on
some sorts an item higher. Spot
stocks are not large, considerable
liues being booked to arrive.
Advice from the South note i'm
proved enquiry on the Atlantic
Coast. AT New Orleans market
is active, aud higher for Japan
styles. Demand is on legitimate
lines for distribution North aud
West. In the Interior South west
Louisiana and Texas under active
demand prices have advanced.
Delay in transportation has re-
suited from scarcity of cars, and
the interruption to business is quite
serious.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note quiet conditions.
Markets seems to be in the dold-
runs buyers only taking for needs.

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

New Iberia, Nov. 20, 1908.
Editor Enterprise:
What has become of the water
works system which cost the tax
payers Of New Iberia such a large
sunni They seem to be Of no more
use than a blow pipe or squirt gun
with which small boys amuse them
selves. Those who were. present
at the fire on Charles street, East
End, last Thursday, had consider
able to say on the subject. When
the hose was attached to the fire.
plug, had there been auy force in
the Power House, the burning
building could have been easily
saved, but the force was hardly
equal to throwing water on the
first story. When asked why
there was no pressure, one reply
was, 1.-THE steam was down in the
boilers" another said, 1.-THE pipes
at the bayou are badly clogged."
What are the officials doing to al.
low such state Of affairsi just
now, almost every cistern in town
is empty, and cold weather neces-
states good fires; a spark upon
our roofs, dry as dust, may ignite
and burn half the town. The sitn.
alton is too serious to pass over,
lives aud property are in the
hauds Of the Water Commission
ers Just now. Who will see to it
that they perform their duty.

PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Although we called attention last
week to the unprotected condition of
our city with respect to an efficient
fire department, yet we feel compelled
to again call attention Of our city faith
ers to the subject. Two more fires are
added to the list of losses consequent
upon the absence of some systemised
department for quenching the flames.
The residences of Mrs. l.. A. Brown
and Mrs LOurd were this week entirely
consumed by fire, which might have
been saved if an ordinary system OF
protection was in vogue. at Is
claimed that the city's finances will
not justify the expense of paid de-
partment, perhaps not on all extended
scale, but surely there might be pro-
vision made for the payment of two
men to be on duty, one for the day,
one for the night, who could be al
ways ready to respond with the hose
carriage at any given point. A
good horse for this purpose is neces-
sary, the appropriation for which we
understand was made sometime ago,
with the small paid department, al
ways on duty with telephone COM
munication to any point of the city it
would be easy to reach a fire and the
citizens would readily give their as
sistance to the paid men for anything
needed, the main point is to get the
hose and carriage to the place where
needed and the people will do the
rest. Two men can be secured at
a very low salary and a good horse
can be obtained for one hundred and
fifty dollars. Lop off some of the super
numery positions and apply the salar-
les to this much needed object. Let
our people insist on better protection
from fire and do not desist until the
matter is accomplished.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC UTILITIES.

The movement for a competing Rail
road aud Nasigabio Drainage Canal
grows apace. Our citizens are rapid
" signing the petition that will
cause the Town Council TO issue call
for election, TO pass upon the PROPOSE
ton TO levy a three mill tax to as
sist in the construction of the above
named public utilities. Every inter
est Of our city demands that these en-
terprises be pushed to finish and
that without DELAY No one should
fail TO accord his support to both pro-
positions, or endeavor to support one
at the expense of the other. They are
Siamese twin propositions and cannot
be separated without the greatest dan
ger to both. They are necessary to
the prosperity of this community,
which has too long been at the mercy
of monopolistic corporations which
has killed off all movements tending
to the expansion of our industries and
commerce With the two great OBJ
iects accomplished New Iberia will
forge ahead in all directions and
along all lines. We shall be in touch
with the great west through the new
Railroad. we shall have other outlets
and inlets for our commerce. We
shall see new impetus given to our
entire section by,reason our new rail
road connections. Our canal will
give us the best of drainage and the
commerce it will develop WIZ be OF
immense value of nature that only
time can reveal. Then let every pa
triotic citizen at once interest himself
in making certainty OF the
great plans that are certain to rebound
TO our advantage and profit. Let no
small prejudices creep in to divert or
sidetrack the important matter, but
with determination to win, join
all forces together, labor in common
interest and the great work is accom-
plished.

HEAVY EXPORTS,

The exports of the United States
during the month of October, just
reported by the United States
Bureau of Statistics, were $780,
1859, or SIG, O42, 63l more than
for the same month of last year.
This is the biggest total of exports
for any month except only October,
1900. This is mainly due to the
cotton exports, for while the crop
was late, the better price of the
staple and strong demand for it
abroad has sent up the figures.
The Northern press just now is
calling attention to the fact that
the cotton exports are yielding this
country some two million or more
a day and preventing what would
otherwise be dull season COM
mercialIy. The South has again
come to the rescue of the country
and stimulated its business

LETTER FROM r. c. SEALY.

LETTER FROM K. G. SEALY.
Ruston, La, Nov. 16, 1903.
Editor Enterprise.
Dear Sir: - After an extended
trip on the s. P. and T. P. Rail
roads, covering many portions OF
North Louisiana, | thought would
give you the Impressions made on
NE by the voters Of the towns in
the section that is claimed to he the
home of Judge Blanchard. Among
the railroad employees l find four
fifths Of them pronouncedly for
the gallant old veteran, Jastremski !;
the high officials Of the roads may
vote for Blanchard. At the towns
of Cheneyville, Lecompte, Alexan-
dria, Pollock, Monroe, Ruston, Ar
cadia, the sentiment is all one way,
for General Jastremskl; indeed, to
judge from the expressions one
hears on all sides, he will sweep
this part of the country. | have
been absent from New Iberia two
weeks, and during that time have
been particular to aud out how the
popular pulse beats, and it is all
for the General, and gaining every
day-so pronounced is this prefer
ence that l wonder that Judge
Blanchard will continue his can
vass. Now what / have written is
exactly as | find the situation in
the places | have visited.
Yours truly,
r. G. SEALY

SCHOOL NOTES.

There will be no school on Thurs
day and Friday for next week on ac-
count of Thanksgiving.
The pupils of the public schools
have been asked to contribute money
for Thanksgiving fund to be distri-
buted among the poor people of New
Iberia by the Ladies Aid Society.
Some of our people will remember the
generous contributions made by the
school children year ago. If YOU
wish to help the Ladies' Aid in this
matter send your donation to school
next Monday mroning.
Next week will close the third
month of our school term.
The educational value of examina-
lions is two-s sided an intellectual and
a moral value
If there were no such day of reckon
ing, the pupil would be apt to feel
that the DAYS work, when done is done
with. Even the final cram is by no
means an unmitigated evil. and a
student. not strictly reviewing but for
the first time. just on the eve of the ex
animation. with unslept eyes, and
head bandaged with wet towels, view
ing the subject, is learning valuable
intellectual lesson-the ability to
get up subject no short notice.
1t is an ability that will serve him
we'll in after life. For the true stud
ent, on the other hand. this final pre-
paration will have value as much
greater as is his preparation. The
readiness for the occasion. the COM
mand of ones resources. the ability
to meet the crisis when it comes, is
good preparation for life. James Seth.
Tests afford pupils tangible and
reliable measure of their progress
an important assistance. Emerson E.
White.
School examinations have been held
and pust necessarily exist wherever
there is systematic instruction. Fried
rich Paulsen, University of Berlin.
An examination is a means of test
ing the students attainment in that
which has gone before; it is also a
means Of testing his power for that
which is to come. 1t also protects
our schools against waste of time.
President Hadley of Yale College.
Except for the thousand and one
tricks by which the pupils may
smuggle in assistance. the examina
ton paper is fair means of testing
through its numerous questions. the
compass Of the students knowledge,
his power of presentation, and his
ability to marshall his thoughts rapid
ly. The danger of u prejudiced judge
ment, based upon the pupils person
ailty, which so often turns the bal
ance for or against him in moral
work, is here avoided
Examinations are necessary evils,
we cannot return to the system of in
dividual preference and patronage,
but it is well to understand that evil
results are unavoidable. Paulsen,
Berlin.
We all remember the fable of the
choice between the doors. OH the one
hand, "Who chooses me shall get |
what he deserves, on the other hand,
Who chooses me hazards all he has. -
The certificate system attracts those |
who could 60 by the first door; the
system calls to those who
are willing to venture the latter.
We all know the two types Of students
and their relative merits.
Schools which insist on examina-
tons think that they get better
class of students by that means than
thew would by any other. President |
Hadley of Yale.

AN ALARM OF FIRE.

An ash heap, pile of rubbish and
two or three piano boxes. all in a
great pile and ON fire in the alley in
the rear of the Red Gross pharmacy
aud the q. p. Bliss store, caused an
alarm of fire to be turned into the de-
partment this afternoon at about 30
O'Clock. The fire did not amount 10
anything although had it caught in
the night serious damage might have
resulted.
The alarm gave the fire boys oppor-
tunity for run and they took good
advantage of it. The run they made
was record breaker and no fire, what
ever it might have been, would have
had much show with the department
boys there so quickly.
