gone, but the results have been en-
tirely satisfactory. The general man
ager is a bonded officer and receives
a good salary and it is to his interest
to give the public the best service
of which he is capable, because the
people have the power to depose him
the moment he fails to measure up to
his obligations.
"Mr. Ashburner was chosen general

"Staunton's system Of one-man gov

EUNIcE, LAFAYETTE AND Able.
WILLIE RAILROAD.

The extension of the Franklin and
Abbeville railroad, known as the God
chaux road, from New Iberia to
Youngsville and Milton seems to be
An assured fact. and it Is a certain
fact that the building of the road will
curta!l the trade territory of this town
to a very considerable extent unless
we secure a road from Lafayette into
this territory, thus making access to
Lafayette as convenient and easy as
to other places.
A railroad from Eunice to Lafa-
yette, to Maurice and Youngsvllle
was projected two years ago, a COM
pany organized and a survey made.
The construction of this road will go
far towards offsetting any possible
bad results to the town from the God
chaux road, or the Welsh or Henshaw
roads. which after a time of Quietude,
are being revived, and it is the part
of wisdom for the people of Lafayette
to secure the building of this Eunice,
Lafayette and Abbeville railroad If
possible.
The construction Of the road is abb
solutely necessary to retain u trade
territory and also to place u mer-
chants in a position to secure equally
as favorable freight rates as those
of neighboring towns.
The way to induce capitalists to
build the road is to offer them in
ducements and as inducements are
best offered by a tax, a petition is be.
ing passed for signatures to call an
election to take the sense of the prop.
erty owners as to voting five mills in
aid of the Eunice, Lafayette and Alb
beville railroad.
The committee is meeting with ex-
not only furnish the necessary sigma
lures and it is to be hoped that the
citizens generally will realize the vi
tai necessity of building this road and
on tonly furnish the necessary sigma
lures to call the election, but also the
votes to carry it.

New System of City Government

The following from the New Or
leans States is interesting as showing
what the city of Staunton, Va, has
accomplished by ~inaugurating a sys-
tenn Of municipal management en4
tireIy different from the usual mayor
and city council way of the ordinary
small town:
"Staunton is justly famous as the
most progressive city in Virginia, yet
it has no city council or other govern
mental machinery. It's affairs are adj
minstered by one man, Mr.. Charles E.
Ashburner, who bears the title OF
general manager and who was recent
ly chosen to serve another year.
While it may be true that Staunton's
novel system of Of government may
be "undemocratic" the people are
highly pleased with what it has done
for their city, so well pleased in
fact that the powers of the general
manager, which were restricted while
the Office was regarded as tentative
and experimntal, have been increas-
ed.
"All the city departments, including
lights. streets, water, fire and public
Institutions have been placed under
hts control and the former s
pe%rintendents Of these depart
ments serve as assistants and
under his orders. And in view of the
fact that Mr.. Ashburner has been
given full power to hire and fire" he
gets excellent service out Of his sub.
odrinases. He run the city Of Staun-
ton as though 1t were a large business
corporation of which he is the execu.
tive head and from all accounts he
has made good.
I'm getting rid of the old cumber
some municipal system and concen'
trating power in one responsible man

farther than any other city has YET

Telephone Talk No. 8


Frequently when making a tele-
phone call the line is reported busy.
Do not understand this as a refusal to
give you connection, but the line call
ed is really in use. 1t is much easier
for the operator to give you
connection, which requires only
a simple motion of the arm n
hand, than for her to answer Zine
busy" This happens more frequently
on party lines, and it is to every one's
advantage in many respects to get d.
rect line service. The manager will
explain more fully.

Extremely high temperatures have
prevailed during the past weekand
first part of the month. Work has
been actively pushed and the final
cultivation has now been given to the
canes almost everywhere throughout
the sugar district and in some places
rain is desired to push the growth
ahead. The very hot weather has
been beneficial to the crop and the
outlook seems promising everywhere.
