WILLIAMS NOMINATED

Jackson, Miss.-Complete
returns show that John SHARP
Williams has secured the nomin-
alton for Senator over Gov.
Vardaman as indicated in the
late dispatches last night. He
Will therefore very probably
succeed Senator II. d. Money
whose term expires March 2
1911.
The Primary was characteriz-
ed by more general interest, and
that, too, national interest, than
any previous election in the his
tory of the State. The national
interest has been aroused by the
peculiar issue which Gov. Vards-
man has injected into the cam
vass-that IS to say, the old
negro issue under a new garb,
which is expressed in the Cover
nor's platform as "the repeal of
the fifteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United
States and the modification of
the fourteenth"
On this issue Gov. Vardaman
Staked his chances for election,
believing that the time was ripe
and propitious for advocating
the question and for arousing
the North TO a realization of the
fact that the crucial moment has
come, and now is the accepted |
time for agitating the question
in the North. On this issue
Mr.. Williams, the minority
leader of the Democratic party,
and a national figure in Con
gres, fatty refused TO NEE, the
Governor, urging that the time
Was not ripe for such an cx-
olosion and that the South
would suffer from it.
1t would appear that the peo-
Die of the State, regardless of
heir political affiliations and re-
,ardless of their sphere in life,
lave sustained him.

About twenty minutes afterward, Petit
pain came up behind Sanders and struck
him vicious blow with half of friedrich
| which he held in his hand. Al he was IN the
act of striking, someone uttered an excla,
nation of warning, and Sanders, in turn
ing around, received the full force Of the
blow on his mouth, and, while staggering
and falling backward from the severity of
the blow, Sanders drew his pistol and
fired once. The ball struck Petitpain in
the side, and, glancing on rib, passed
under his Skin aroun his body, making a
painful. but not dangerous wound.
Sanders did not shoot again, but CONT
nued OH the defensive
SANDERS went away. The facts in the
case show that there was no need for him
to go; but he was young, his father wac
dead, and there was no one there to ad-
wise him correctly. However, he volun-
tsrily returned for trial at the first term
of court after he had been informed
against by the district attorney.
"The verdict Of the jury met with uni
versal approval here.
''After his trial, the Sheriff, A. G.
Frere; the clerk of court, F. P. Peret;
Mr.. Gallery, Mr. Foster and myself, and
others, signed a statement generating
Mr.. Sanders from all blame in this natter
ITO my knowledge the difficulty has
not been mentioned against Mr.. Sanders
in the parish of st. Mary, and, as proof
thereof, shortly after he had reached the
age Of majority, and when this matter
was fresh in the minds of the people Of
the parish, Mr.. Sanders was elected by
them to represent st. Mary in
The State Legislature. The peo-
pie of our parish knew then, and know
now, that the law Justified this action"

The Limit Of Life.

are unanimous in the conclusion that the
the generally accepted limitation of hui
man life is many years below the attain

duration, seems to be between so and go;
the proper care of the body during this
decade cannot be too strongly urged; care

iNTERCOASTAL CANAL.

1t is now regarded as almos
certain that the Intercoasta
Canal will not come near New
Iberia or eanerctte but will gt
where intended and located b,
act of congress making the ap
preparation.
According to the act making
the appropriation the Inter
coastal canal must pass through
Franklin. At one time it was
reported that it would be i'm
possible to get the right of way
through that place but it is IN
derstood now that this has been
provided and that there are now
no obstacles to the canal at that
place.
When it was regarded as i'm
possible for the canal to go
through the route as set forth it
appeared that some other route
would have to be selected apd
New iberia and Jeanerette were
competitors for the canal. Ii
was stated at the time that there
was doubt if the appropriation
could be used under the act for
this new route and it is reported
now that Senator Foster has
taken the matter up with the
idea in view that the act must
be followed.
Whether this has been the in
depreciation of the department
that has the work in charge is
not officially announced but it
lis understood that it is of the
|opinion that the canal must use
the Franklin route unless abe
next Legislature will consent to
+ change. To effect this would
mean fight for the change by
those sections which want the
tanal. Whether New iberia
will make that fight if it is pos
bible to bring the matter up
gain is question, but at the
iesting OF the Police Jury yes
trday it was minated that a
urvsy of proposed routes was
OF necessary at this time and
be matter was dropped without
DISCUSSION.

CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENT

Another Main Street building
is about to be erected here. Bids
are asked for by Mr.. Alexis
VOORHEES, for the construction oil
a two story brick building to go
on the plot purchased from Mr..
W. J. u'te, opposite the City
Hall, a plot about 80 by $50
feet.
Mr.. VOORHEES, has been fgur-
ing for some time with reference
to the building of this structure
and the plans are now ready for
the contractors to figure upon.
According to these the structure
will be a desirable addition to
the Main Street architecture.
1t will help to fill in the only
vacant spot near the center OF
City.
1t is understood that plans
are underway for a modern
fraternal society building to be
erected by the Woodmen of the
World. As yet these plans are
not ready for discussion but
within a few DAYS it is proba bic
that tbs details of the plan by
which the structure is to be
built will be made known.
1t will be remembered that
some since the Woodmen de-
cided to take up the matter OF
modern structure
hat might serve as a meeting
place for the many organiza
ions that have no home of their
'wn. The original plan was to
make this structure of which
he City might be proud and it

,ointed at that time has come

The label stares the user in the

The label stares the user in the
face and it it impresses itself on
the user in lasting manner.
That an industry does this is
amply proved by little inves-
tigation. Take for instance the
the case of New iberia. There
are towns and hundreds of peo-
pie in them who today would
not know that New Iberia ex-
lists were it not that some of the
articles made here are growing
popular there. The labels on
these goods point out to the
users that the manufacturing
point is New Iberia and those
very labels are doing more good
than advertisements in many
other ways.
To find out just how widely
one of our industries is advcrtis
ing the City, Mr.. c. P. Moss,
the President and Manager of
the N ew Iberia Extract Of Tia
basco Pepper Co., was req csted
to furnish a list of towns AID
cities where the goods bearing
its label are sold. Mr.. Moss
replied that he could not do
that for he did not know all the
towns and points to which the
labasco Sauce and the Club
Catsup had been sent from the
distributing centers but he kind
y furnished the following list of
3 points from which checks
had been received within
Peoria, ILL.,; Bloomington H.;
Chicago, ILL.,; Springfield, ILL.,;

This is an argument used {
merely to show how much ben
fit might be derived from the ,
Establishment of other enter

VALUE OF A LOCAL INDUSTRY,

One of the greatest adver,is-
ing cards for City is the pos
session of an industry whose
goods ere distributed wide
spread, all bearing the label that
contains the name of the city is
made more familiar to the con-
sumers than by any other
method that could be suggested.

CANDIDATES.

1t is reported this moring tina,
Mr.. Alcee Girard of Loreauville
will enter the race for the Clerk
ship OF the Parish against Hon.
J. G. Leblanc the present hold
er of the position. This will no
doubt be an interesting contest.
Another announcement is
that of MIR. ohn Durocher of
eanerette for the Shrievalty,
now held by the invincible
George Henderson. Mr.. Du-
rocher is not very we'll known
in this section but he Is at pres
ent Mayor of Jeanerette. 1t is
conceded that he will have to
make an. extraordinary fight to
come anywhere near up to the
mark. Representative R. F.
Broussard has taken up his can
dldacy which may give him
some strength.
Ex Assessor Leonard S.
trere is announced as candi-
date for the Assessorship in op-
position to L. Armance De-
rouen of the Petite Anse sec
ton. This promises also to be
a warm fight.
There is a likelihood that
Mr.. Anthony Muller will be
candidate for the District Attor-
neyship in opposition to the
present incumbent, Mr.. Edwin
