NEW INSURANCE LAWS.

Legislation at the recent SEES
sion of the Legislature was very
prolific as regards insurance
matters. About a dozen or
more new laws on the subject
were passed, and the man who
attempts to reconcile or COM
bine them, will have task OF
no small magnitude.
The following are the more
important measures:
I. Requiring life insurance
companies to make an annual
distribution of dividends or
over-payments to its policy
holders.
Z. Prohibiting life insurance
companies from forteitlng poll
cies after three years premiums
have been paid.
3, Requiring life insurance
companies to give thirty days
notice to the policy holder by
mail before the premium be
comes due.
4. Prohibiting life insurance
companies from issuing policies
or using applications in connec-
ton with the issuance of poll
cies that made the agent of the
company the agent of the assur-
ed. and requiring the life lnsur-
ance policy to contain the entire
contract between the assured
and the company, and making
the answers OF the assured IN
his application representations,
and not warrantles.
E. Making it mlsdemeanor
to use estimates or illustrations
disappearing the terms of
the policies issued by life insur-
ance companies.
The Legislature also passed
the uniform law on the subject
of regulating fraternal insurance
societies, which was recommend
ed by the National Fraternal
Congress and has been adopted
by Tennessee and Ohio. This
law requires associations here
after organized to collect the
rate OF insurance laid down by
the National Fraternal Con
gress.
The State also has a law re-
quiring companies organized
under the laws of this State to
have fully paid up capital, and
to deposit 100000 with the
State Treasurer.
Another law requires indus
trial life, or ten-cent week
companies, to make deposit of
from 81, 900 to $1,000 with the
State Treasurer.
Another law which exempts
the assets of Louisiana life in
surance companies from taxation
except their capital stock.
Another law gives to Loui-
siana policy holders of foreign
company the same rights and
privileges as the policy holders
of the companies in the State
where it has its domicile.
The license tax on life insur-
ance companies has been reduc-
ed from seven and one-half
mills to six mills.
All OF the laws that have been
passed tends towards the encour-
agcment and assistance of the
organization OF local life insur-
ance companies the establish
ment of which was urged some
time ago by the ENTERPRISE
LEADER.

THE POLITICAL POT.

Ddtoh NouSC, Juil ~ III
most interesting political gossip
going the rounds at the Capitol
and which had been talked of
some days before the adjourn
ment of the Legislature, is the
probable announcement of MIR.
Paul M. Lambremont as a can
didate for Lieutenant Governor.
There was some talk at the be
ginning of the Legislature of
Mr.. Lambremont being a can
didate for auditor, and his name
is still suggested whenever the
prospective candidates for this
office are under discussion, but
it is now suspected that MIR.
Lambremont will not be in the
race for auditor, but that he will
be candidate for the second
place on the ticket. His name
is now the only one that is
prominently connected with the
race for Lieutenant Governor.
In the gubernatorlaI gossip,
other names besides those of
Mr.. J. Y. Sanders and Repre-
sentative Robert Broussard are
brought prominently forward.
Among those discussed are For
mer Lieutenant Governor AL
bert Estopinal.
Mr.. ]. B. Aswcll, State SUI
perintendent of Education, made
additional friends during the
session OF the Legislature.
General Icon astremskl is
being more prominently men
toned than before the Leglsla-
ture, and Attorney General
Walter Guion is also in the list
of possible candidates, if gossip
counts for aught. There is also
talk OF taking Judge Breaux as
a compromise candidate if the
fight proves close.
Ofth State offices, the list of
probable candidates for State
auditor is more generally dis
cussed.
1t is generally considered now
that Mr.. J. M. Smith, State
treasurer will be candidate, and
that the Speaker Joe Hyams
will also be candidate.
For State treasurer the most
talked of possibilities present
are Captain o. B. Steele, of
Baton Rouge, who was in the
last race; w. N. Mcfarland,
chief clerk in the treasurer's Of
f1ce, and ex-State Treasurer
Fournet, of St. Martin, parish.
The race in the third railroad
district for railroad commits
sioner will be lively very soon.
There will be flock OF candi-
dates for the position now held
by w. l.. Foster, of Shrcve-
port.
Political gossip has already
brought forward five candidates,
several of whpm have finally
announced the. nselves as candi-
dates for the domination.
Among the candidates are w.
l.. Foster, who seeks reelection;
Harrison Stewart, Tensas; Hy.
Hunsieker, Cfddo; J. J. Mere
dith, Caldwell; DIR. Harvey,
Dillon, Sabine.

TO SUPPLY LIGHT METERS.

The Board OF water works
and electrlc-light Commissioners
met Monday night and authoriz-
ed the manager to purchase met
ers for the electric light plant, and
it was stated that possibly these
may be on hand and in place
within three weeks. 1t appear
ed that several concerns were
satisfied that the Commission
had the power to purchase I'M
der the terms of the Charter, and
that they were ready to furnish
the meters on the terms offered
by the Commission.
All the members of the Com
mission were present with the
exception of Mr.. Jerry Taylor,
who is out of the city. Mayor
Laughlin presided, and Mr.
Jules Dreyfus, the newly elect
ed member, was present for the
first time.
Manager Dupuy reported
that the profits of the plant for
June were $56S.4I or $4,000,
greater than for June of last
year.
Manager Dupuy reported
that he had received bids from
three concerns for supplying the
meters needed for the plant.
He advised the purchasing OF
the Westinghouse meters from
the Interstate Company at New
Orleans, the agents for West
inghouse.
This concern had offered to
supply the meters for a cash
payment of $500 upon receipt
of the meters, $3.50 before the
end of the year and $3.50 to
be paid in the summer of next
year. The Comp any asked that
an estimate be made of the prof
its of the plant for the year end
ing March 80, OF, so as to
show whether its revenues
would exceed the expenses by
the amount of the bill for the
meters as required by the terms
of the Charter.
Mr.. Dupuy had prepared
such a statement. 1t showed
that already this year since April
the profits had been April $23o,
March Qoss due to breakdown
$28I, May Sass, June 1868,
July $500, and taking these fig
ures as basis for the estimated
profits OF the balance of the
year he figured that it would be
$3,S44.5o
1t was considered that these
figures justified the making OF a
contract for the meters. There
was enough money on hand to
make the first payment and the
other payments could be made
as provided by the Company.
Upon motion of Mr.. Drey-
fus, the manager was authorized
to forward the estimated income
statement to the Company and
to make the purchase of the
meters upon the terms offered.
The question of rates for the
system when the meters arrive
was = also considered. 1t was
suggested that minimum rate
for lamps be fixed. If thisis done
the income of the plant cannot
TALL below a certain point, unless
the service is cut out entirely.
Mr.. Levy moved that COM
mittee on rates be appointed,
carried and Messrs. Levy,
Guillot and Reynolds were ap-
pointed.

FRANCHISE FOR TROLLEY.


nesday evening and granted to
Mr.. w. p. Conery franchise
for trolley line through the
streets of the city.
Mr.. Conery deposited a certi-
fed check for $500 with the
City Clerk, and the first part of
the program that will probably
result in a network of trolley
lines in this section was accom-
plished.
The franchise sets fortL. that
to Mr.. Conery or assigns, is
granted for term of twenty
five years years the right to CON
struct tracks and operate rail
road by electricity or other
power except steam through
Main street and St. Peters from
one end of the city to the other,
and also through such of the
cross streets as may be necessary
at either end of the city.
One of the provisions is that
the roadbed must be paved with
the same material as the street
and the track kept flush with
the surface of the street so as to
obstruct the traffic as little as
possible. Another is that MIR.
Conery or his assigns must con-
struct within the city of New
iberia or within a mile of the
corporate limits of the city, his
power house. Still another pro-
vision is that he or his assigns
shall sprinkle the streets along
which the trolley runs whenever
necessary.
The franchise was granted
with the agreement that Mr..
Conery should make a cash pay
ment of $500 within twenty-four
hours of the granting of the
franchise, that he shall pay $I66-
2-3 every month for three
months, and that at the end of
four months he shall deposit
$4,000 making $4,000 in all.
II he fails to build the road he
is to forfeit the money, and if
he builds the the road within
fifteen months, he is to have the
money returned to him.
Mr.. Conery did not wait the
twenty-four hours before max
ing the first payment, but be-
fore the council adjourned he
turned over to City Clerk Voor-
HES, a certified check on the
Cosmopolitan Bank & Trust
Co. of New Orleans for $500,
and he received the receipt for
the same from the Mayor and
City Clerk together with a GER
tilted copy of the franchise that
was granted.
Ii is understood that Mr..
Conery will GO Immediately to
New York, where it is expected |
that he will be able to secure
the money with which to build
the road. While it is known
that it requires time to procure
large amounts hike the one ne
cessary to construct this line, it
is believed that Mr.. Conery has
that he will get the
funds, and that there will be
quicker work than is provided
for in the franchise.
1t is understood that the line
vii be built first to Franklin
twill be extended to St.
then to Lafayette

USE ALL THE INCHES.


With proper management q farm
or plantation Of any size from two
acres mp TO 900 is better than a
store for revenue. With improper
management it is burden.
The trouble with a great many
owners of country places is that
there is too rnuch trusting to luck.
They do not plan their course
ahead nor do they make any at
tempt to work their land on scien-
tifc principles. A large part of
their property is idle large part of
the year and dividends cannot be
expected from something that is
not working. The man who keeps
a big store does not expect to reap
a profit if he covers half of his
stock up for six months Of the year
and does not keep turning over his
goods. Neither can the planter or
farmer expect a surplus if he does
not keep his land working for him
all the time.
In this climate there is no reason
why land should not be working
every day of the year. 1t is here we
have the advantage over the frozen
north. It may be necessary for us
to give the land a rest once in a
while but we can arrange those
rests so that there is work of a GER
tain kind going on in the soil while
it is getting ready for use again.
To be thoro ughly posted in the
matter of handling our property
we should keep posted all along the
line. We can do this only by read
ing of the experience or listening
to the advice of others. No. one
man has ever discovered all there
is to know about any one subject.
The astronomer places on his chart
first the stars discovered by 9th
ers before he attempts to find new
constellation. The electrician learns
all that other pioneers in the field
have discovered before he dabbles
with the currents. The manufac-
turer of cotton goods finds out all
the processes Of old established
mills before he attempts to operate
his mill.
On the same principle, the planter
or farmer should study the work
of others in his line before he
mekes up his mind that he knows
all about the subject. Then he
will be prepared to make the full
est use of his property and his
profits will be large in proportion
to the knowledge he has gained.
There are gardeners who make
good livings from two acres OF
ground. There are gardeners also
who cannot make living from
ten acres. The difference IS thst
the one is thoroughly acquainted
with the art Of making his land
work all the time while the other
knows little beyond the first prin-
ciples.
One of the principle ways OF be-
coming acquainted with the nse OF
epils, is to read the experience of
others in the ENTERPRISE. An
other way is to belong to an insti-
trte or club of agriculturists where
the objects are the discussion OF
topics relating to the farm and gar
den. In some of the Northern
States these organizations are
found in every community. Here
they have not yet gained foothold
and the time is ripe for such an
ipstitutiop

Before using Postum Food Coffee
my wife and l were prejudiced agains,

afflicted with black spots before tho

quency and at last we came to sus-
pect that possibly coffee was the cause
Of them.
1--WE therefore determined to give up
the old coffee and use Postum for
awhile, to see if 1t would help her. The
result was more than satisfactory. In
a very short time, only long enough to
get the coffee poison out of her sys-
tenn, and give the Postum a chance to
build up her strength she began and
continued to improve rapidly Several
weeks have elapsed since she has had
an attack of blind spells or faintness.
and her other nervous troubles have
disappeared.
81 had been greatly troubled from a
sluggish feeling of depression that
made me very miserable. and when l
saw how Postum had helped the wife,
1 determined to see what it would do
for me- So 1 quit the old kind of cof-
fee and began the use of Postum and
from that day to this have been en-
tirely free from the old depression,
sluggishness and dependency.
"Our little S-year-old daughter had
grown quite cross and peevish, and we
put her, also. on the Postum diet. 1t
has made such change in her that
the teacher of the school which she
attends remarked upon it without
knowing the cause till we told her.
1--WE have an been made brighter
and stronger, mentally. and physically.
and life seems actually more worth
living, since we quit coffee and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee"
