CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS.

The School Board has received
two of the four transfers ordered
aud the other two will be here be-
fore long. These transfers are to
be used in carrying the children
from the old Murphy School dis
trict to Jesnerette and to Patout-
vile, the other two will be used TO
bring children to this City two
schools having been closed. This
is the first move in the general
plan to consolidate out the smaller
schools and give the children the
opportunity of attending graded
schools where they may have better
advantages aud progress faster in
their studies. 1t is proposed fin
ally to consolidate all the children
of the Parish into central schools ,
which shall be graded. The pres
sent movement is in the nature If
trial and if ii proves a success
he transfer service will be in
reased.

AS THE NEwSBOY SEES 1T.

1t seems TO be a hard matter for
the candidate to work up much in
terest among the people. Our par
Ish candidates have been doing
some hard work and as vet the
campaign has been moving along
smooth enough. In the State cam
paign 1t has been a little different.
Wilkinson made a raid into north
Louisiana, charging and insinuat-
ing all manner Of things about an
other candidate for governor. He
seemed to think it a great crime be-
cause the friends of another candi-
dare owned the Shreveport Times.
He made a great fuss about it and
then went ont aud had other papers
publish If ut the rate of five cents
line. However, the Shreveport
Times successfully routed the
colonel and all his forces by ask
ing them what was the plural for
mud" To say the least of it, it
seems that Wilkinson did himself
more harm than good the time
has passed to pitch campaign on
such low plane, and no one can
expect to build himself up on the
downfall of another, especially
when he tries to bring it about u

1t was stated that all that this

about and leave notices, all the

ABOVE THE AVERAGE.

The last week of dry hot wealth
er has done much good to the crops
that are being harvested as well
as those that are still 10 formative
process. The rains of the previous
week had interfered somewhat with
the harvesting of rice but they did
an immense amount Of good to the
growing cane which had been held
back somewhat by the lack of
moisture. But when the present
dry spell came it found the cane
aud the corn rejuvenated as it were
and ready to take on rapid growth
The rice planters grew busy again
and ever since have been threshing
out the heaviest yield hereabouts
for several years.
1t is now a settled fact that the
cane crop of this section will be the
heaviest in the history of the pro-
duct. Or if not the heaviest, then
1t will rank so near the top weld
that there will be much of profit
for the grower, provided the Trust
does not force low prices again as
usual at the cutting season. The
rice grower in harvesting finds the
yield at least one third better than
last year and prices to date are in
his favor, owing to the smaller
yield elsewhere.
Taking it all in all the crops
this year will bring much money
into the section and planters and
farmers will have one of the most
prosperous seasons. There is but
little danger now of any interfer
ence with the result by reason Of
the weather and already the pros
pect is having its influence felt in
The conduct Of trade affairs. The 9
planter feels at liberty to spend
more freely in advance Of the re.
nrns and gradually there will be !;
,etterment in trade conditions here :,
rom this cause aloae. Years like i,
his are the kind that make this b
tction feel that it is the one spot =
where returns can be had for labor :
invested.

WHY ATTORNEY GENERAL UUION
DOES NOT FIGHT THE TRUST.

Attorney General Waite
Gulon, was distinguished visi
tor to the City Thursday. II,
is candidate for reelection anc
came here to scquaint his many
friends OF that fact personally
During the day he renewed his
acquaintance with many and
was introduced to many more
OF the leading citizens.
Mr.. Guion says he has no
particular platform except to en-
force the laws of the State as
best he can with the equipment
of his office provided by the
legislature. This he said was
not adequate when it came to
taking up the violation OF the
Trust laws.
In order to use his office to
enforce these laws he said that
1t would be necessary for the
legislature to provide funds with
which to gather evidence and
unless he could get the evidence
1t was useless to prosecute.
The legislature, he said, had
provided funds only to pay the
expenses of conducting his of
flee. In fact it had cut the ap
preparation down 50 that there
was hardly sufficient to pay the
expenses OF the court in the
cases in which he was forced TO
appear on behalf of the State.
Thus his hands were tied so far
as prosecutions for violations or
the Trust laws. He could not
get the evidence unless he could |
have the funds with which TO |
employ men to hunt it up. He
had been anxious to look into
reported trust law violations
out was powerless for this very
'eason.
Mr.. Guion said it had been
that the trust laws were
'eing violated bv the cotton
eed oil men but he could not
end out men to get the evil
|ence and he was forced to let
he same 60 by default. 1t was
lot the fault of his office but of
he legislature in not providing
he necessary funds. '
He cited the fact that the Il.
&. Government provides a fund c
Or the procuring of evidence by t
s Attorney General and he t
bought the State Legislature a
1ould do the same for its At !
'rney Generals office. G
Mr.. Guien will continue his n

BURGLARY.

At least two families OF New
Iberia have clear enough con.
science to allow them to sIeer
soundly no matter what hap
pens. Some bold, bad burg
lar entered their rooms during
Thursday night and carefully
removed such valuable as nigh,
be handy to carry and easy to
convey into coin.
Genial Frank Patin is one OF
the mourners and so is his next
door nelghbor, Mr.. Jos. Hughes.
Both suffered alike from this
bold, bad burglar and instead
OF wearing his usual smile and a
diamond stud today Mr.. Patin
has donned trown that over
hangs his shirt trent.
Just when this bold, bad
burglar invaded these sleepy
homes is not known. There
wasn't a hint of his presence last
night when the lights were
turned off, but this morning
when Mr.. Patin awoke he
found his trousers gone. OF
course ne suspected something,
but it was not till he found the
part of his wardrobe
stuffed under the front steps
that he realized the full extent
Of his loss. There was $40 20
n his off side pocket and it was
vas gone. His valuable papers
md documents usually kept in
lis pocket book were scattered
over the yard and these he re-
owed.
But the greatest blow OF all
vas the discovery that his dia-
nond stud, the one that has
GIFTED up Main Street when
he l6-candle power electric !
'ere out, was missing. That
'as heart breaker and the a
:rvices of the guardians of the '
eace have been called upon to
unit the pold, bad burglar
own. {
In MIR. Hughes house the d
me bold, bad burglar took
lr. Hughes gold watch and "
lain and relieved his pants G
some SI3 or sI4. There
ere some other things taken at "
Oh place, but most OF the +
