Grader of Roads.

The grade is the most important fac
tor to be considered in the location OF
roads. The smoother the road surface
the less the grade should be. Whether
the road be constructed Of earth. stone
or gravel, steep grades should always
be avoided If possible. They become
covered at times with coatings Of Ice
or slippery soil. making them very diff
cult to ascend with loaded vehicles, as
well as dangerous to descsnd. They
allow water to rush down at such a
rate as to wash great gaps alongside
or to carry the surfacing material
away. AS the grade increases in steep
ness either the load has to be dimin'
ished In proportion or more horses OF
power attached.

ity. They will then surface or macad-
amize as much Of that road as their
time will permit. When the practical
bility of the movement has been thus
manifested, the mayor and commercial
examinations will unite in a call for
public meeting to organize an associa-
ton.
President Moore of the. National
Good Roads association says OF the
project:
"The south can have good roads If 1t
will, and the sooner the citizens get to-
gether and work along some well Or
ganized and practical line these results
will be reached the quicker. There is
nothing that will do more to increase
the value Of virgin lands and advance
the development of the rural districts
than well constructed public roads.
The Improvement Of the road system
will have q wonderful effect upon stim-
ulating the settlement OF people on
farms, and as these settlements are be-
ing made so will the value Of the land
increase.
wherever q city or town is found
possessing well made roadways lead
ing therefrom you will find the busi-
ness Of that point Is In prosperous
condition. Therefore the citizens OF
every town in the south will be pro-
noting their own interests If they give
this movement their moral and II nee
essary financial support
1T is hoped that every state, county,
city and town officer will give this SUBJ
tect Of better roads serious considera-
ton and then take the matter In hand
Immediately and show his constituents
that the movement for better roads
will receive his utmost consideration
and utmost cooperation.
1T is universally decided that good
roads are what we want. In order to
secure them we must pull together,
working systematically and on practi-
cal lines. This grand tour, planned by
the Southern Railway company, is
signal for action. If the states visit
ed are not alive to this and do not avail
themselves of the opportunity to secure
information rendered by the good roads
special train, no one will be at fault
except the citizens Of the states IN
which the exhibits are made"

writes, Sept. 10, 1901: II had been
suffering several years with cancer on
my face, which gave me great annoy
ance and unbearable itching. l was
using BalIard's Snow Liniment for a
sore leg, and through and accident, l
rubbed some of the liniment on the
cancer, and as il gave me almost in
slant relief. l decided to continue to
use the liniment op the cancer. In q
short time the CANCER came out, my
face healed up and there is not the
slightest scar left. Ihave implicit faith
in the merits of this preparation, and
it cannot be too highly recommended. "

Mardi Gras Celebration.

AS in most country towns the
couldn't getaway people got up
an impromptu celebration of their
own here and had lots of ''fun'
Along about 4 o'clock there was
considerable eXcitment on Main
street, and parties rushed to their
door to see what was the cause,
when a cavalcade of grostesque
maskers was seen coming down
the thoroughfare. 1t was made
up of horses, "tackies,' mules, bug
gieS and one lone OK. which was
hitched to small vehicle with a
piece of pasteboard attached to
either side bearing the inscription:
..Automo Bull" The whole thing
was burlesqne and reflected on
the present miserable condition
of the town to a great extent.
One mask er, riding betN cen the
vehicles, bore a banner on which
was inscribed, in large, black let
tcrs. these words: bad streets
are the best things to kill business.
Give us more water and more
crawtish.' A vehicle some dis
lance ahead of this, which pre-
sented most dilapidated appear
ance. carried placard on which
the assurance was given that ave
have seen better days, was clearly
traced. There were others, all of
which had some local significance.
A fairly good crowd participated
and made things decidedly lively
for awhile. Everybody entered
into the spirit Of the thing with
hearty, good will, and there was
no unto ward incident to mar the
general harmony. All were out
for fun and a good time and they
had it. Next time, we presume,
they will do better.

Death of Mrs. BurkArt,

Last Saturday morning, at 1925
O'Clock, the soul of Mrs. Annie
Moritz, wife of Capt. Cashier
Burkart, an old and respected
citizen of this town, left it's tene
ment of clay and winged it's fight
to its eternal rest in the glorious
realms above. She was 81 years.
II months and ) days old at the
time of her death and had been
i'll for five weeks prior to the sad
event. About two weeks ago she
had recovered sufficiently TO be
able to sit up and mcve about the
room, when a fire occurred in the
home of her nearest neighbor and
the shock she sustained from the
excitement again Frustrated her
and she never recovered from it
She was a kind-hearted, chart
table, Christian woman and was
loved and esteemed by all who
knew her. Where there was
sickness, sorrow or want, there
she was found ministering to the
afflicted, soothing the sorrow
stricken heart and playing the
role of the good Samaritan. Dis
tarce nor time nor weather made
no difference to her. Where a
friend or fellow creature was in
trouble or pain, there would she
go and linger until the aching
head or limbs had been eased or
until the burdened heart had been
relieved. Such as her are met
with now and then They are the
noblest of Gods creatures; angels
on earth; laboring in the interest
of humanity; doing the bidding of
the Master. Surely of such must
be the kingdom of heaven She
leaves a devoted husband, five
daughters, two sons and seven
grandchildren to mourn her loss,
and to them, in this sad hour of
affliction, we extend our heartfelt
sympathy.

They Did Well.

The New Iberia fire company
came to Abbeville last Thursday
night, in response to a telegram,
to aid us to put out the fire. 1t
pumped the well dry on the square
in about two minutes. and then
hitched on to the bayou and
showed the town what little en-
CINE can do, and how little Able
Vile has done for herself. Able

There's nothing like bring pre-
pared to fight the fire king when
he raises his hideous head in a

are not nearly so well prepared as
they ought to be, still they gen
orally do good work with what
they have, when called upon
They are bold. willing, fearless
fire fighters and generally rush in
regardless Of circumstances. If our
people would do what they should
to encourage them, we could easily
have the best fire department in
the State.

A CANNING FACTORY.

Donaldsonville is not the larg-
est country town in the State, but
it ranks among the most wide
awake, progressive and enterpris
ing and is abreast of the times.
In all matters affecting the wei
fare and advancement of the
town the people act in harmony
and pull together in the same
direction, hence good results are
invariably attained When it is
considered necessary to start a
new enterprise public meeting
is called; all the business people
attend; the question is discussed
freely and openly, and the result
generally is that the matter is
settled then and there and IL
raDgements made to start the
wheels of progress in action, and
the object for which the meeting
was called is accomplished. This
was the result secured last week
when it was deemed advisable to
establish a canning factory.
Speaking on the subject, the Chief
said:
'!The Donaldson Canning Com
pany, Ltd, was finally organized
yesterday afternoon with a paid
up capital stock of $4,000. DR.
Sims was elected president, DR..
" NJ McGalliard, wee president,
and w. J. Leblanc temporary
secretary and treasurer. The plant
will be located between the rice
mill and the passenger depot and
is to be completed within three
months. In the meanwhile w. W.

cern, will make his headquarters
in II. n. Slator's office, Railroad
avenue 1t is prepared to contract
for tomatoes and will make trip
ont in the country section and will
be glad to meet anyone desiring
information"

this kind! If it will pay in Don

consequence in the state is fOrg

obtainable. Why shouldn't New
Iberia do the same things AL

10, TIE POOR NEGRO!

From the facts before us it
would appear that the negro
lot in the North, among the PEG.
pie who are supposed to love him
so dearly, is even more onerous
and CALLING than 1t is in the South,
and the negroes eyes are fast
being opened to this fact. A dis
patch from Indiana, Pa, on the
oath inst, said:
"Twenty negroes of Webrum,
the entire black population of the
town, were driven out yesterday
after their shacks had been pulled
down over their heads by the
whites. While residents had given
the negroes several days notice
to quit, but this, with subsequent
warnings, were ignored Yester-
day white mob gathered and,
armed with ropes and poles,
marched to the negro quarters
Rigging the tackle on the shacks
the mob tugged at the ropes and
soon had the structures in ruins.
After this assault the negroes
hastily gathered their belonging
and made for the railroad station
where they boarded a freight and
went to Vinton Vale. nearby
town. This is the end Of the race
war which broke out ten days ago.
