Preparations are under way
for big race meeting of the ff-

will be the last meeting before
September unless there be a spe-
cial occasion arranged.
The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company has arranged for ex-
cursions to this city from four
points OF the compass. They
will come from Lake Charles,
Washington, Houma and Ma
poleonville with stops at all in
termediate stations.
The horses will be here in
full force. There will be races
at Franklin on the preceding
Sunday and from there the
horses will come direct to this
city. 1t is stated that some
new animals will be seen on this
and that some fast
ones will be here from far dis
tant points.
The track is being kept in
first class condition and it will
be even betters than it was on
the last occasion. The rains
have improved it and if there is
not too much wet weather be-
tween this and the day of the
aces it will be faster than usual.

GUARD KILLED NVlCT.

1t appears that there was a
killing on Hope Plantation the
latter part of last week, although
the facts of the case did not
leak out till today when the
Coroner filed the report of the
inquest with the Parish Clerk.
According to the evidence
in the case one of the convicts
named Smith attacked fore
man named Robert Perry with
a hoe. To save himself, Per-
ry drew his revolver and shot
the convict.
The convicts in the field tes-
tilted that there were no pro-
voking circumstances and that
the convict who attacked Perry
had his hoe raised in the air
ready to brain Perry when the
latter shot. The convict died
shortly afterwards.

OWENS LINE PROSPECT.

Mr.. w. A. Owen came into
the city for the first time
since the CITY voted to give
the two mill tax for his
railroad, and he expressed him.
self as we'll pleased at the vote
in favor of his line. 1t was an
evidence, he said, of the appre-
citation of the people that rail-
roads will be the making of this
country. incidentally he said
that he hoped that all the roads
projected would be built here.
In relation to the New Or
leans, Crowley and Western
Railroad, which road he repre-
sents, Mr.. Owen said that all he
could say was that it would be
built. He said that he was con-
fdent that the line would be in
operation in the time specified,
in fact he was positive of it.
1t was gathered from the
brief statement of Mr.. Owen
that except for preIiminaries OF
a certain nature he was ready to
begin the construction of the
New Orleans, Crowley n d
Western Railroad.
The people of New Iberia
have an intense interest in the
road represented by Mr.. Owen.
They have voted it a tax of
$4,000 and are anxious that
the line be built. 1t is felt that
every line that can be in
duced to reach New Iberia
means just SO much more pros
perity here and if another fax
were proposed for another road
the opinion is that it would be
voted without opposition.
Therefore the statement by
Mr.. Owen that the road will be
built, meets with much approval
and the time intervening be-
tween now and the actual con-
struction seems only a tedious
wait.
Later when the full particu-
lars of the line are known, its
connections, its terminals at
both ends, it is probable that
the people will be better pleased
that they voted the tax.
Mr.. Owen only stopped over
here for a few hours. He had
been in Crowley last night and
1rove here from Jeanerette this
morning. 1t was reported from
Jennings that he was in that
:ity on Tuesday morning.

LOOKING FOR LAND.

That this part of the country
is becoming known in the North
is more and more evident every
day. In the opinion OF many
it would only require little ad-
vertising in proper manner to
bring immigrants here in large
numbers. A large real estate
concern of Chicago has written
to Parish Clerk ]. G. Leblanc
asking for information about the
lands for sale here. Apparently
this firm thinks it would be pos :
sible to colonize large tract of
land in this section. Here is
the letter of inquiry received
this morning:
]. G. Leblanc:
Dear Sir:-Will you kindly
advise US if there are any large
tracts OF land in your county
that can be had at a reasonable
figure, either as an investment
or suitable for colonization pur-
poses, and especially in reference
to swampy tracts that could be
drained and made into good
farm land. If SO will you kind
ly give US any information you
may have in reference to same,
lacatlon, owners name, address
and price per acre that it could
probably be purchased for, and
all other information that would
be available. Also are you in
position to assist us in securing
such a tract ard furthermore to

SALOONS OPEN SUNDAY.

No less than five saloons
were wide open Sunday in
defiance of the provisions of
the Sunday law and Sheriff
Henderson is preparing aff-
davlts to be presened against the
proprletors in the City Court.
1t is the opinion that the
saloon keepers intend to re-
main open every Sunday till
the Criminal branch OF the
Court of holds its next session
in November. Meantime it is
also stated that afidavits will be
made every time the law is brok-
en- and that each saloon keeper
will have to answer as MANY
charges as times the offense is
committed.
There was an effort made to
have the first violation of the
law punished peremptoriIy
few weeks ago, but no action
has been taken either to call the
Grand Jury or to hold a SESSION
of the Criminal branch of the
Court. The cases Therefore will
come up at the regular session
of the Criminal court and until
then it is presumed that the
saloons will remain open.

may be bought.
1t was decided to meet again
when the information sought is

there should be no more delay
than is necessary and the feeling
was that the city will have light
and water in very short time if
the terms can be satisfactorily
arranged.

MAIN STREET PLOT DIVIDED.

The property known as the

Street and Iberia has been ap-
portioned, and the deeds are
now of record. This property,
it will be remembered was in liti-
CATION for some time but a few
months since the Court finally
awarded it to Mrs. Annette
Fontelieu Roberts. I
Prior to the division an ex-
change was effected with Mr..
Chas. Gougenhiem whereby
strip at the rear of the property !
was obtained in lieu of an addi-
ton to the property of MIR.

Main and Iberia Streets. This
addition will make Mr.. Gou-
genheim's lot $50 foot deep.
In the apportionme - ~

Burke & Burke are awarded the
next lot of 81 feet and Mrs.
Roberts has 81 feet. In Iberia

SO feet. Then comes similar
lot awarded to Burke & Burke
and ashan ahaan ni;oal5ng oli5ynge is a plot granted

Roberts also has a SO feet plot.
In the deed OF exchange Mr..
Gougenheim agrees to sell to
the owner of the plot adjoining
his property one half of the wall
of the building now occupying
the premises. This is in the
event that Messrs. Weeks &
Weeks wish to build.
Quite recently the old and
time worn buildings that adorned
the plot were torn down and ii
was supposed that new buildingi
were to be erected. 1t is nos

FIX THE ROADS.

These are the days when pre-.
paration should be made for the
heavy traffic that is to come on
the country roads when the
crops are harvested. There are
unoccupied moments now, while
the cane, and the corn, and the
cotton is growing, in which
much might be done to make
the roads over which so much is
to be carted, solid and lasting.
One of the greatest hindrances
to a large profit is the bad roads.
A good thoroughfare means
double the loads at one hauling
with the same amount of power.
AS a matter of economy, then
it would seem that the planter
take all the necessary steps to
provide the smooth thoroughfare
for his teams.
1t is true that the road ques-
ton here is different from that
where there is plenty of rock,
but the problem is one that
can be solved nevertheless.
There is plenty of timber of
small growth unfit for lum Der,
yet good enough for the cor
duroy road that can be made
nearly smooth with little
trouble. This kind of road
probably stands the wear of
heavy traffic as well as any other
in this part of the country.
Miles of it might be constructed
by the planters between times
while waiting for their crops to
mature.
An absurdly mall amount of
money was provided for the roads
of this Parish last year. Only
SIG per mile was the amount set
aside in this ward. In the north
eren states where rock is plent-
iful and material always at hand
more than this amount is provi-
ed. According to Government
report just received from Wash
ington, there was set aside an
average of more than $64 per
mile in the the State of Delaware
last year. With that much used
here for roads better conditions
might prevail.
In some parts of New Jersey
the prosperous farmers have even
gone so far as to macadamize
their roads. 1t is true that the
first cost was great, but the con-
ditions that prevail after the
work is done are such as to cause
the people of the section to rec
ommend their neighbors to do
likewise.
In Connecticut enormous
prices have been paid to keep
the roads in first class condition
but the last man to grumble Is
the farmer, for he knows that
whatever the weather, he can get
his goods to market. In one
year nearly one-half of the en-
tire return from crop was ex-
pended by the farmers OF one
section to macadamize the road
eading to the town Of Stanford.
That was seven years ago. To
lay the road is in first class con-
iition and hard at all seasons.
The road that a heavy cane
art, loaded, can run over in the
vettest season, is the one that
will pay the best to- construct
,ut il this cannot be afforded then
he planter should use the cor
luroy road till he can pay for the
,ther.

Some time since the attention
OF the people was drawn to <she
fact that there is on the planta-
ton of Mr.. Jules Muller al
artesian we'll that was reportec
to have a good flow. This
morning Mr.. Muller broughi
to the ENTERPRIsE-LEADER Of
fice a jug of the water and also
a bottle that had been standing
for eleven days.
Both samples appeared to be
excellent in quality and free
from deleterious matter; still the
water Is hard and probably con-
talns magnesia or other chemi-
Gals.
Mr.. Muller states that the
flow from the we'll is 300 gal
Ions minute from the six-inch
well that runs down only $50
feet. This flow is steady, and
no doubt could b~ increased If a
pipe o! larger dimensions we're
put down. Still flow of 800
gallons per minute means near
ly 100000 gallons per day, and
that would be sufficient for the
present drinking capacity of the
City.
1t is said that the place where
the water runs out is higher
than this City, so that the City
could probably be supplied by
gravity.
Mr.. Muller's place is s-~aoul-
tour miles from the City line,
and he is now supplying all the
neighbors with water. In case
nothing better turns up in the |
way of a supply, it pigl =
