$4,000 Miles.

Some three years ago DR.. J. w.
X. Shaw received the first Auto
mobile, through the agency Of X.
S. Mahon, brought to an owner in
this city. The "horseless carri-
age" was tested under varying
conditions and with all the draw
backs of unfavorable country
roads, and summing up all the
little tricks of the machine itself,
DR.. Shaw has found it to be a
practical conveyance. 1t has
served him faithfully in fair and
foul weather, over good and bad
roads.
The Doctor has found a great
diversity for his mind in studying
the mechanical features of the
machine and has thoroughly mas
tered them. The faithful engine
has stood at his door for three
years, day and night, ready to
answer emergency calls or those
of pleasure and recreation.
This week, in conversation with
the Doctor, he made the statement
that he had worn out set of
wheels and was now riding his
second SET; that he had worn out
two odometers; that the last re,
cordilg instrument indicated that
the auto had travelled $4,000
miles since in his possession.
This travel means an average of
12 miles per day tor every day of
the past three years.

A little short paragraph, in the
columns of the Morgan City Re-
view, of only three lines, means a
great deal to the travelling public.
1t reads as follows:
"Southern Pacific divers are
here examining the piers of the
railroad bridge"
A structure, like the Berwick
Bay bridge, spanning a running
stream, 80 feet IN depth, is one
that should be given most critical
examination at short intervals of
tine. The So Pa. Co, undoubtedly
understands this necessity and are
prompt in detecting any weakness.
es that may develop from time to
time, and will promptly reinforce
such by new material where there
is bare suspicion Of its necessity.
We note with pleasure this work
of inspection.

One of the most interesting we'd
dings of recent years i'll the Capi-
tai City, was that of this afternoon
when Miss Sue Devall Chamber
lain. of West Baton Rouge, and
DR.. Henry King, of New Iberia
were married at the Episcopal
Church. The wedding was So!eIi-
niZed at 1870 o'clock in the pres
ence of large gathering OF

ticiating, assisted by Rev. {. Z.

For Good Roads.

This week we had a call from
Mr.. Eugene Darby, who reports
that the st. Martinville road,
about q miles above this place,
is in very bad condition, the result
of the accumulation of both rain
and rice irrigating water upon the
public thoroughfare. He states
that this matter has been called
to the attention of the Police Jury;
that he had their promise that it
would be looked into; but there it
seems to have rested.
He further indicates that the
condition of that road operates as
barrier to this towns being a mar
ket for the present cotton crop of
Little Fausse Pointe, as it would
be impossible for loaded teams
to pull through the bog holes.
1t, also, prevents loads of supplies
provisions, lumber, etc.-being
hauled from this place out into
the country district where needed,
forcing the planter to make his
purchases elsewhere to his disad'
vantage in both price and haul.
This matter is within the juris
dictiOn of the members of the Pc
lice Jury of the 9th ward and we
trust that they will take steps to
see that abuses, if any, are abated;
that drains are properly opened,
and that the necessary repairs are
made promptly in order that both
the farmers and the people of this
town may realize every advantage
of the highway to which they are
entitled.

The New Iberia Gulf Canal.

In our issue OF last week we
made mention of what was beng
done on this very important work.
In gathering our information we
got a couple of matters slightly
wrong. We should have said that
Mr.. Leon Lemaire Was president
of the Canal Board. In the other
instance the proposed Advisory
Board is to be composed of seven,
instead of five members.
The books of organizing this
Advisory Board is going on, and
it's complement of members will
probably be secured before we go
to press
One regretabie fact is, that this
board will have so little time left
them in which to accomplish very
much of the great undertaking.
They cannot possibly have a long
er tenure than next June-nine
months. In next June new
council will be chosen to take
charge of the city affairs for four
years under the new city charter.
This new council Will become the
Board of Commissioners for the
Canal and they will certainly have
the privilege of appointing their
Advisory Board, should they deem
one necessary. Should the pres
ent council be re elected they may
reappoint the Advisory Board now
being organized. Otherwise this
Advisory Board will have an ex-
istance of but nine mOnths-tOO
short period in whole to accom-
pllsh a great deal.

The weather of last week was
very wet. Heavy rains fell in
this section every day till its close.
In consequence the rice and cot
ton farmers were very much de
pressed. The rice was rapidly be-
coming over ripe and could not be
harvested, and the farmer seemed
to have but little to his taste 9th
er than figuring his daily losses.
So with the cotton planter; he
noted the constant falling of the
young forms and bolls. The dawn
of this week brought new hopes.
Things are drying up rapidly and
the farmers generally are very
busy-we hope getting rich.
