A STRIKING CONTRAST.
AbbeVlIle MeFldlOnaI Tells How OpeIousas IS
Ahead Of New Iberia In Enterprise.

Here is mother one, showing that
the liberal advertising Of the OpeIou-
sas merchants is attracting attention
all over the State. This one is from
the Abbeyille Meridional:
Lack of support in the matter Of
advertising by the merchants and
business mel Of New iberia has
caused the suspension Of The DAILY
Enterprise-Leader, Of that town. It
was d most excellent paper and en-
ployed its best efforts in prometi &
the best interests of the community,

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
The Livingston Times Notes the Enterprise Of
Opslsusas Merchants
The Livingston Times Of last week

The Livingston 1lmes OF last week
says:
We note the st Landry Clarion is
carrying several full page advertise
ments for the merchants of 0pelousas.
This shows that the merchants Of
that live little city have awakened to
the fact that there is no investment
that pays so well as newspaper adver-
Using. The fact that they advertise
so extensively show that the town
of Opelousas is a live town and
reaping a double benefit thereby.
The great mail order houses do not
undersell the average country mer-
chants, but they get his trade away
from him by letting all the people
know what they sell and the price at
which they sell it. If the good mer-
chants Of 0pelousas keep at it in the
way they are now advertising there
will spring up in that town q number
of firms with a worldwide reputation
and Shears and SaWbuck will not have
to furnish the necessities Of the
Advertise and the people
will buy your goods, but if you are
selling ever 50 cheap and the people
don't know it, they will continue to
send il to the merchant WHO'S telling
them about his goods. It pays to

HEARST TO RETURN TO
The DEMOCRATIC
FOLD.
And the Democratic Organiza-
ton of New York Seems Anx-
iOus to Harmonic Matters.

New York, Dec. 5.-William r.
Hearst, who read himself out Of the
Democratic party shortly after his
defeat for Governor in 1906. is to be
welcomed back into the party fold
again should he choose to come. This
report came with almost stunning eff
feet recently to some leaders in Tam
many Hall, who heard that this was
q part Of the plan for the rejuvina-
ton Of the party in this State.
According to the report that has
reached these Tammany leaders, the
local branch Of the Democratic
league, the organization for which
provision was made at the Saratoga
conference, is considering the adj
visibility Of entering into negotia-
tions with q view Of gaining the sup
port of the Civic Alliance leaders in
their effort to purify the Democratic
party and harmonic its factions.
On the other hand, it is said that
Hears himself, who still has political
ambitions to crafty, is not ayerse
to winning back his party regularity.
A large vote polIed BY the Civic
Alliance leaders as a mayoralty can-
didate in the last municipal cam
paign, after Tammany Hall has as
serted that after his successive de-
feats when running for mayor and
Governor Hearst was 9'down and out
politically, is supposed to have had
. good deal to do with the desire on
the part Of certain Democrats to Of
fer the fatted calf to the Civic ALI
anee prodigal.
This feeling is shared in a measure
by upstate Democrats. In the Sara
toga conference movement the lead
ing members are men who broke
away from the Democratic machine
under Chairman Corners, after the
nomination Of Hearst for Governor in
1906.

new COTTON GIN in
YENTION TOT Be GREAT
IMPROVEMENT

New York, Dec. A recently-in-
vented cotton gin. which, its promo
tiers claim, will revolutionize the cot
ton industry Of the United States,
win be given a thorough trial in this
city next week. The new continuance
is of English invention, and is said to
have been in use in Egypt and in
India for some time. It differs from
the American gin in that it combs
the staple from the seed instead Of
cutting it as is done by the sharp
saws Of the cid Whitney machine.
S. L. MCGOWAN Of this city, who
has had much experience as a cotton
planter in Alabama, said yesterday
that he has made arrangements to
have a test of the new gin in the
basement of the Office building in
Wall street. MCGOWAN declares the
combing process will make a saving
in ginning as to increase the value of
the crop to the planter fully two to
five cents a pound, and hal this means
an annual increase in the wealth of
the cotton States Of at least $780,
100000. The gin at present in use,
he says, not only cuts the staple, but
also wastes much Of it by reducing
the lint to such fine particles that it
is blown away like dust.
Mr.. MCGOWAN also says that he will
experiment il the same basement in
Wall street with a cotton picker,
which, he asserts, has at last been
made practicable.

him from upstairs;
