Just now there is a strong move
ment in the south toward the es-
establishment of parish and country
fairs. This is certainly an opportune
time for the organization of snch
institutions, for we have just had II
very disastrous demonstration of
the utter uselessness and waste of
a one crop system of agriculture,
and the Importance of diversity.
A strong fair association in any
community stimulates the interest
of planters and others in the rails
ing of cattle, hogs and various
farm products, by creating
healthy competition for the va
rious prizes Natchitoches parish
needs such an organization
and offers opportunities unsur-
passed by any community on earth.
With its varied soil, population,
climate and general intelligence,
there is no doubt but that this par
ish can produce range of pro-
duets which would surprise the
world, if we would but turn our at
tention to the development of its
resources. Let some one turn Sc
rious attention to the organization
of a fair association and great will
be his reward. -Ndtchitoches Times.

NAVAL FIGHT.

The long expected Naval Battle has
taken place with the result, that the
Russian fleet was practically destroyed
or captured. Togo, the japanese he
70 of dozen battles and of two wars,
has won one of the greatest battles of
history.
For several months his location has
been in doubt, but when the proper
moment arrived he was there to de-
fend the Straits.
While most Americans here sympa-
thized with Japan in this war, yet
nearly all of them have feeling of
pity for the Russians who were so
overwhelmingly defeated. The
reports show that about 1000
Russians were captured, and also
twenty two ships We're destroyed
or captured.
The loss of the Russians in killed
and wounded was enormous, while
that of the Japan was slight. 1t is
to be hoped that this will end the
war

LETTER TO r. S. MCMAHON,
NEW IBERIA.

Dear Sir: There are two sorts
of furniture. You know both; for
You sell 'em both. One sort looks
better than it is, aud the other is
better than it looks. There isn't
any other sort.
The same, two sorts of paint, ne
more; and we make 'em both-we
make tons of stuff that isn't worth
it's freight. Belongs to the bust
ness-have to. Belongs to your
business-yuu have to.
But this is aside. We put into
cans, with our name on, the very
best paint there is in the world:
Devoe lead -and-zinc. 1t takes few
er gallons than mixed paints, and
it wears twice as long as leadand-
oil.
Mr.. c. .. Brown, Columbia, S.
c., painted his house with Devoe
lead-and zinc. The painter, on
seeing the quaEtity sent to the
house, said there wasn't enough.
There were ten gallons left, when
the job was done.
Yours truly

OIL LINE TO NEW IBERIA.

Thurday last. Messrs. A. M. Mar
tin and J. P. Straughn Of Lafayette,
appeared before the Police Jury ask
ing right-of-way on public roads in
the parish for the great pipe line of
Carnes Bass and Benckenstein pipe
line and oil company. This company
has its lines at Lafayette and supplies
oil from its great wells in the Jen-
nings field--and it is now proposed to
extend the same to this town, it be-
ing the head of navigation and an
outlet to deep water. This company
is also piping its oil into Plaquemine,
La, on the Mississippi river and
therefore to all points by tank boats
by the river. The entrance of the
line here will greatly facilitate the
obtaining Of. fuel oil for our sugar
factories and rice pumping plants
along the bayou. The handling of
the oil ct this point will develop a
business that will soon assume i'm
mense proportions, and the projection
show good business sagacity in getting
y foot hold here. The laying Of the
pipe some two feet below the surface
will In no way interfere with the
rights Of any, and will bring employ
mont to an army If people for the
time being.
After Mr.. Martin and others had
addressed the jury, it unanimously
awarded the privileges asked for, and
thus signaliEed its business qualities
By allowing this great company to es-
tablish its station here, with such
restrictions only, as are consistent with
the public interests.
We congratulate orr citizens on
this auspicious event.

NEW OPERA HOUSE.

1t was reported, several days ago.
i'll an evening paper, that there was a
prospect of securing a new Opera
House. 1t is to be hoped, that this is
correct but nothing is heard of it at
present; AS no names were mentioned
it is exceedingly hard to confirm the
rumor Whether outside parties build
here or not. there is plenty of local
capital to erect building of this
kind. 1t is public necessity besides
would he good paying investment

the season an opera house pays we'll,

by the opening Of the the

A few more days can you bask in the

that world where you can sleep and

the refuse barrels. All good dogs go
there Tige, so you had better brace

CROP NOTES.

The past week has on the whole
been advantageous to our farmers and
planters. Some few showers have
fallen, but not OF such fullness as TO
retard the work. The hot sunny
weather evaporating the moisture al
most as rapidly as it falls. Much
good work has been done this week,
and large area of the crops that
were grassy has been cleaned out, and
put in good condition to grow.
Cane is looking we'll and is not
verv far behind usual crop. Cane
planters and factory owners are
pleased over the prospect which prom
Uses larger crop than last year, with
prices Just as remunerative. Cotton
is emerging from sickly existence;
the grass and wet weather giving 1t
quite a set back, but with favorable
weather from now on, it may make a
portion of a crop. The squirt i'll pri-
ces, make the farmer nurse carefully
the weak looking plant hoping it may
develop into stalwart fruit bearer.
Rice is looking well with stands
good, with the upward tendency of
prices Qua rice men think they see a
profit in their cereal this fall. We
hope so, for their devotion is worthy
of fair reward.
Corn is still being planted, and
some has been finished with its COM
pliment Of COW peas. the little fellows

OUR NEED OF SCHOOL FUNDS.

The great necessity OF more funds
for school purposes in this city, was
never more fully felt than at the pres
ent This is matter of vital inter
est 70 every citizen of New iberia.
It is a matter that should have your
attention and your support. Last
wears school term demonstrated be
yond doubt the lack of funds to
hire the necessary number OF teachers
to look after the enrolled pupils;
while the accommodations afforded by
the buildings were inadequate. Prof.
Ellis stated. a few days ago, that
many children had to be turned away
on account of the lack Of room. that
many Of the grades were crowded and
that it was impossible to take III
many of the little ones, who applied
for admission. This is the state OF
affairs at present and will be for
the coming school year unless
speedy arrangements are made to rem
edy it. Every child in this city and
state is supposed to enjoy the privi-
lege of free schools, but under the
present state of affairs many are de-
MED this right, solely on account of
the deplorable condition of the school
fund
Every citizen who has children of
school age, should be interested, per-
haps next year it may be your child
who will be unable to secure admis-
sion and you will be compelled to
send it to o private school or let it 60
one year without these benefits.
Some means can or should be devised
whereby every child of school age
can 10 to school. Life, even
with all the educational advantages
that can be had by boy or girl. is a
hard struggle, but when common
school education is denied them, a
crime has been committed that can
never be corrected. 1t is duty that
every one owes the community in
which they reside, to always take all
interest in a question OF this kind.
Are YOU interested enough to look in
to this matter:
In last weeks issue Of the Enter
prise, this subject was discussed as
we'll as means for raising more funds.
There is to be a meeting held at the
City Hall in short time to discuss
fully this matter and every person
in the city is urged to be present.
We want to wake you up, so you
can realize the condition of affairs. |
We call upon the citizens of New
Iberia to now come forward and help
in this important matter and we be-
lieve that our appeal will be needed.
Since writing the above Hon. X.
F. Broussard and Superintendent Ellis
have been appointed as committee
to prepare suitable resolutions to pre-
sent to the people, showing the needs
Of our schools and proposing a remedy
therefor. This is getting the matter
in tangible form, and if every man
will do his duty, New Iberia will
have ample accommodation for all the
to attend school.

rHr HOUSE, COMMITTEES.

1t appears that Speaker Cannon,
whose reelection is of course assured
and who Is said to be already at work
arranging the committees of the next
house of representatives, is likely to
find his task In this respect somewhat
perplexing. The craftsmanship of the
committee on appropriations is a matter
Of commanding Importance because
upon that committee will deyolve the
duty OF finding where a reduction in
public expenditures can practically be
effected. Mr. Cannon is In favor OF
economy and IL is expected that he will
appoint on that committee men in ac-
cord with his views. Next in import
ance Is the ways and means committee,
which has charge of all matters relating
20 revenue. The chairman OF this com
mittee in the lsst house was Representa-
| tive Payne of New York, who ii is said
is not very highly regarded by the
earnest supporter OF the protective
policy, Mr.. Payne is not a particularly
strong debater and according TO report
Mr.. Cannon wants a man at the head OF
this committee who will be able to de
fend the republican tarif position
against any democratic assault that may
be made upon IL. and the expectation is
that the democrats, under the leadership
OF their ablest man in the house, John
Sharp Williams, will avail themselves
OF every opportunity to attack the re
publican tariff policy.
AS now indicated, the choice for chair
man Of the appropriations committed
win probably be Mr.. Tswney Of Mime

THE MOST PROSPEROUS COUNTRIES.
Representative William Alden Smith
of Michigan, who during the past sum
mer visited Europe and investigated
economic conditions there, says that he
came back a stronger protectionist than
ever. His observations impressed him
with the fact that the protective tariff
countries are the most prosperous. There
is abundant evidence in support of this
view. 1t is an indisputable fact that
Germany and France, for example, are
more prosperous than free trade Eng
land. where at this time hundreds of
thousands of people in London and other
cities are out of employment and more
OF less dependent upon charity. Very
recently Mr. Chamberlain, the champion
of fiscal reform, has urged this fact in
support of the policy he advocates, and
last week the National Union of Conser-
vative associations. in meeting at New
! fiscal reforms based on the preferential
| treatment OF trade between the mother
| land and the colonies. 1t was a distinct
enunciation in favor Of policy OF pro-
| lection.
Those who are conversant with con-
ditions abroad will not be surprised at
the view expressed by the Michigan
congressman and it is astonishing that
there should be any one in this country,
knowing how greatly the policy of pro
: lection has promoted our Industrial
progress and prosperity, to seriously pro
pose abandonment Of that policy. The
object lesson of idleness and impover-
lshment in the United Kingdom, with its
free trade, should make an impression
upon the American people, who have all
the work they are willing to DO and are
| enjoying, as whole, unprecedented
prosperity

City experts. says the Lincoln

water pumping problem. and the public
may hear a great deal about economy
in purchasing and economy in opera
ton, while the watch dogs Of the treas
ury may be more than usual in evil
dence. That is precisely the condition
in Omaha, except that the watch dogs
are attached to the pumping station by
an endless chain that draws money out
Of the city treasury and empties it into

attorneys and the water commissioners.
Economy is an old watchword with
