BOY ACCIDENTLY SHOT.

One of those accidents that are
striki exhibits of the danger oil
allowing small boys to handle
firearms occurred this pl,rning
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Oneal
Arceneaux, at Derouen. As a re.
suit the four year old son is ser.
iously if not fatally wounded.
Early this morning the eight
year old son of the house made
up his mind that he would go out
in the fields and ut a few birds
for his grandmother of whom he
is very fond. As in every house
hold in the country, the shot gun
was handy and he concluded to
take this with him.
Taking it from its accustomed
place he carried it to the kitchen
where his smaller brother watched
him prepare it for the hunt with
envious eyes. Like all children
he was anxious to see if the cart
ridges fitted and whether they
were the right ones for the birds
that he intended to get and in
some way, no one knows Just how
the one of the cartridges was dis
charged.
The younger boy at that time
stood close to the muzzle of the
gun and the contents penetrated
his hip, inficting wound the re-
suit Aof which cannot be foretold.
DR.. Warren G. Young was tele-
phoned for and Immediately went
to the home at Derouen where he
did all iii his power to relieve the
baby. When seen. upol his re-
turn this noon he reported that the
condition of the little one was
critical.
Mr.. Arceneaux is one of the
popular planters of that section
and the entire neighborhood SYM
pathized with him in his trouble
It is hoped that the little one will
recover for he has always been a
favorite with the people there
lbouts.

Mr.. WilkinsOnstands out in
bold relief" says his champion.
It's a good attitude. He has tried
several poses, but the bold re-
lief attitude is theone that seems
to take best, and he will no doubt
stick to it to the end. But think
of the relief it will be to MIR. Viii
kinson when the campaign is over
and the votes are counted and he
turns with solemn face to his So
lacIng friend, Don Gallery, and
asks if the play is over, while Don
assures him that it surely is, and
that neither of them can see where
he is at. Perhaps they may con-
slider that the bold relief business
was played little too strong, and
that it would have been more prof
table, if not more becoming, il

have agreed to plant and cultivate
one acre each, in tomatoes and put
up a canning factory to can this
product for the market, and any
other vegetables and fruits. This
is but the inception of factory
that is destined to grow into larger
proportions and stimulate the
tendency Of truck farming in
North Louisiana. Such enter

New Orleans. La. Jan. THE
Tebault furniture house in ROYAL
street, near Iberville, burned to-
day.
Other buildings in the neighbor-
hood were damaged and the loss
amounted to about $3.50, 1000. The
Me ormick Trunk Co., was dam
aged to extent of about $4,000.
just how the fire started no one
knows as yet, but it had gained
so much Roadway before the de-
partment arrived that there was
no hope of saving the furniture
house. The department for seve-
raj districts was called out to
quell the flames and the firemen
confined their-efforts to saving the
adjacent property as much as pos
slble. That the fire did not do
more damage was due to the ef-
forts OF the department in this III.
rection.

Word had been received from

Word had been received from
the next Governor, the Hon. J. Y.
Sanders that he will be in New
Iberia on the night of January
23d, at which time he will speak
at the Elks Theater to the largest
crowd that can be housed in the
big structure.
1t will be remembered that Gov
lernor Sanders was to have spoken
here some time in December, but
the special session of the Legisla-
ture interfered with the program.
Early in the campaign the dates
were made for his speeches and
those that were made for January
stood so that hope was almost Civ
EN- up for his appearance here.
Still there was a strong plea made
to him to come here if he could
so arrange it and the news that he
has been able to give New Iberia
the 23d is particularly pleasing.
There was meeting of the
Sanders Campaign Committee last
night when the matter of registra-
ton was considered. The COM
motion that is being made in other
parishes over the registration
evidently is not needed here for
the following letter was addressed
to the registration authorities here
by the Committee:
ITO the Register and Clerk of
Registration, New iberia La:
Dear Sirs-The Sanders Cam
pa;gn Committee has no challenges
to make with reference to the reg
lstration Of any citizen of iberia

only be the result of training.
In the Hopkinsville raid many
people noticed the man who SEEM
ed to be in command. He had a
perfect military bearing and gave
every indication of having had
military training. He wore a
long-tail coat, but no one recogn-
lied him. lie is believed to be

management was brought up.
Mr. Dallas said that the City
faced a serious situation. He had
learned that the City was about
to be sued for Indebtedness Great
led by the Water Works Board
which it could not meet. Al
together there were bills out
Of $l.7S751. which the
plant could not meet. Those to
whom the money was due held the
City responsible.
There appeared to be some
question as to whether the City
is responsible under the charter
for these debts. 1t was stated
that under the charter it was re-
sponsible il the Council had au-
thorized the contraction Of the m
debtedness but it had not
Mr.. Cammaek, Attorney AMI
Secretary for the Council, said
that the Charter provided that
the Water Board was authorized
to contract Indebtedness for run |
ming expenses but for nothing
more unless authorized by the
Council.
Il was stated that the City was
doing nothing now but paying out |
money for the plant. 1t was

bonds and certificates. 1t had /

The Herald at last succeeded In
smoking" out the Democrat on the
George West proposition. Dave had
declared that he would ignore West,
that he was not fit to be senator and
1t was disgrace for the Democrats
to nominate him, but few days ago
1t was arranged that the Democrat
was to come out the last few days for
West because Charley Hughes. the
great corporation attorney, might need
MS vote. And Hughes has the dough.
lie is down as giving the largest cen
trlbution to the Democratic national
campaign fund. He is financing the
state Democracy; he is seeing the cor
porations provide a Pullman palace
train for the candidates of his partv

rldes rough shod over his enemies.
Inc black flag" of Durango was at

nell as a blind. The black flag,
even intimated that Hughes was a tool
that could not be trusted, but Hughes
KNOWS his men and the value of
money. George West has been a
hughes supporter from the start, West
does not hobnob with the common
people. His training is of another

the salary was in sight and he needed
