Sheriff Lacoste, assisted by

evening six white men charged
with the killing OF the negro,
Antoine Dominique, at Carancro
last Saturday night. Following
are the names of the men, all Of
whom are reputable farmers and
citizens of that section of the
parish: Therence Gudroz, An
tonic Congues, Henry Breaux
and his son, Gabriel Breaux;
Pierre Guilbeaux and Hypolite
Sicily. All are men of family
except the last.
The arrests were made on at
hdavits charging the men with
the murder of the negro, and
all were placed in the Parish Jail
to await trial. Several of the
prisoners protested their limo

seemingly confident that no

BUYS LOT FOR THE SCHOOLS.

here was special meeting
of the Board of Education this
morning at which action was
taken which will add much to
the efficiency of the schools of
the city in the future. There
we're present President Rand
and Messrs. Poirson, Bouvier,
Farmer, Cammack and Decourt,
with Superintendent Ellis.
The particular business for
which the meeting was called
was to take action toward the
purchase of the piece of proper
ty on St. Peter Street adjoining
the High School from Mr..
Jules Dupuy. 1t will be re-
membered that last spring it
was stated that this lot was re-
garded as a necessity if it should |
be determined to build a high
school suitable to the needs of
the city. 1t would add enough
ground to the Boards property
to enable it when the time
comes to erect proper build
lug and still leave sufficient
ground for yards.
The present yard room of
the High School is very limited.
1t IS not anywhere near ade-
quate to the needs of the school
and the addition of the new !
premises will Immediately give
relief. Besides it is possible {
that the building on the prem t
SEES can be utilized so as to give t
DOM for two or perhaps three G
new and needed class rooms. i
All these facts were discussed i
It the meeting of the board and 4
was decided to authorize the $
purchase of the property, the Il
'rlce being $4,000. 1t is prob .
BILE that possession of the prop
rty will be taken at once and =,
hat changes will be made in the "
yelling to accommodate the 81
lasses. i.

London, Nov. 27.-The
splnners of Lancashire ridicule
the movement started by the
Southern Cotton Association to
hold and market the staple.
The mere fact that capital of
only 100000 is proposed is
regarded as absurd. With such
a sum 1t would be impossible,
say the splnners of Lancashire,
to conduct a cornering move
ment with any reasonable hope
OF success. Sully, they say,
burned his fingers badly in his
cornerlng attemps when condi-
tons were more favorable to the
scheme titan they are at present.
All the same, further parti-
,ulars of the associations plans
re awaited with interest. But
'n4the facts at present avaiIab
10 alarm is lett. One leading
plnner goes so far as to declare
hat the attempt is foredoomed
o failure.

New Orleans Nov. IA.
a result of the recent transfer o
the John R. Gheens plantation
and timber land holdings II
Latourche parish to c. r. Ash
a Duluth lumberman, represent
ing considerable capital from
the North, an announcement
was made yesterday that Mr..
Ash and associates would build
a railroad into New Orleans
through the tracts from Morgan
City. This will be about 100
miles IN length, and will pass
through a territory which is re-
ported to be as fertile and pro-
ductlve as any in the State.
/ he route of the line is said
to be down Black Bayou from
Morgan City, through Terre-
boune parish to Latourche, and
thence through Jefferson parish
to this city. 1t was stated here
that last week there had been an
expert lumberman employed to
make an estimate of the value
of the timber in the Gheens
tracts. These comprise about
$4,000 acres, $500 OF which are
under cultivation. The land is |
'or the most part thickly cover
I'd with fine old cypress trees,
md it is said when these are
cleared there is no finer agricul-
ural country in the South.

Bayou Teche at its bend above The

more than five miles.
AT meeting Of the Board of

bring to and through it the waters
from the Atchafalaya aud Red

above are at a high stage.
Major ker recommended that the
canal be cut large enough to be
used for commercial advantage in
the future. He would rec ,mmend
that it be at least 100 feet wide at
the bottom and six feet in depth.
This would necessitate a right of
way of about 400 feet in width.
Representative Broussard favor

that certain portions of the right

all of the people affected would

RED RIVER WANTS ALL THE
BUSINESS.

New Orleans, Nov. 40
President William Edenborn, of
the Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Company, who was
here yesterday, said that a
definite traffic arrangement had
been entered inferred into be-
tween his Company and the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas
Railroad System, whereby that
System would handle business
into New Orleans from its lines
now terminating at Shreveport.
An effort is also being made by
Mr.. Edenborn to make similar
arrangements with the Santa Fe
System and with the Kansas
City Southern Railroad, where
by vast quantities of freight
from the Northwest will be
handled into and through this
port.
Mr.. Edenborn would make
no definite announcement re-
gardlng these arrangements ex-
cept IN the case of the Missouri
and Texas, with which system
he said the traffic agreement had
been entered into. Regarding
the Santa Fe and the Kansas
City Southern, Mr.. Edenborn
said:

have these lines turn their trait

see the Santa Fe, the Kansas
City Southern and the Missouri.

Mr.. Edenborn later declined
o say if the negotiations with q
he Santa Fe and the Kansas |
lily Southern were completed,
n at what point the Santa Fe
would connect with the Louis
ana. Mr.. Edenbofn's previous +
tatement regarding the traffic

HIGH LICENSE.

There is persistent rnmor that
at the next meeting Of the Police
Jury an attempt will be made to
reconsider the vote whereby the
LIQUOR license was placed at $1,000.
1t is to be devoutly hoped that the
movement will not carry and that
the license will remain at the price
fixed.
Nearly all or at least a large
proportion of the Parishes III the
State have declared for high Ii
censes. There would seem to be no
reason why Iberia should declare
itself for low license.
Practically the only persons in
the Parish who are interested in
low licenses are the few saloon
keepers who think they cannot af-
ford to pay the high rate. The
people themselves do not care
whether the saloon keeper pays
high or low license. They know,
however that the higher the liceuse
the fewer dives there are aud for I
that reason are generally in favor
of the high rate.
4 The dive, where liquor is dis !
posed of at small prices is an evil. {
1t is not wanted by the resident q
of the country district any more
than ii is wanted in the cities. 1t
is more productive OF harm I
