ed that sentiment III the city,
while it will probably sustain
even more rigorous regulation,
possibly to the extent OF reduc-
ton of the number of saloons,
in residence districts, is opposed
to prohibition there on both bus
mess and moral grounds. Com
plctc suppression Of the licensed
saloon would. il is realized, not
only deprive the municipality OF
several hundred thousand dollars
annually in licenses, much OF IT
already pledged FOR years to
come. but throw on the market
and dcprcciatc in value n great
quantity Of now valuable ana
highly assessed real estate. More

continue their efforts to extend

will take the form Of charging the

OPPORTUNITY.

A trip through this State shows
that the corn crop of last season
will not be a circumstance to the
one that will be produced the com
ing year. On every side the corn
fields are now beginning to Look
green and in few weeks the
stalks will be far on their way to
ward making what will probably
be the largest corn crop in the
history of the South.
iberia and st. Martin parishes
will have "a particularly large
crop of this valuable cereal. On
every side there are fields on then
way, all of them started bright
and early. and the consequence
will be that if the weather is fay
orable our crop will be ready for
the harvest in line to take advant-
age Of the highest spot prices IN
the market just as the supply o.
the old has given out.
With this immense crop coming,
il would seem that this is the OPP
porlunity for some cnterprIslng
people with money to make New
Iberia the center Of the gram
y fde of the South. This is the
poiat to which most of the crop
will gravitatc if offered the least
bit of encouragement and to have
it all centered here will mean the
addition Of many dollars TO the
bank accounts.
But it will not come unless
there il some provision made for
handling the grain. II is true
that several hundred ears were
handled here last season, but this
coming season thousands Of ears
can be brought this way instead
of hundreds if there are facilities
for handling it.
What is needed is a big elevator
and its accessories, a shelter OF
sufficient capacity, one that can
do the work quickly and without
creating a nuisance.
II only needs such encourage
ment MS this to make Of New he
ria the grain center ct the State,
Just as Crowley has been made the
rice center of the wet rice fields.
Ii is question whether one
plant could begin to handle the
crop that will be coming IN with
in the next five months. Most
likely il will tax the capacity OF
several plants land elevators to
handle all Of the crop that en-
be brought this way and while It
is possible that one or two small
plants will be erected, it would be
better il the Board Of Trade or
some other organization would get
TO work and influence capital to
invest in proper sized plants and
then TO see to it that the corn is
brought here.
There is not any too much time
in which TO get up the right kind
Of plant and the matter should
be taken in and at once that
there shall be NO, , &c : :, it,s1e\Jl-
urc: One hing --.ia u Tlt:1at
q that unless the business 'le''
,.o. torother here and provide for
handling the corn crops, some
other point along the lines OF
railrond will be in the field bid
ing for the business and New he
ria win be badly left.
This is the opportunity and It
should not be neglected.

Gave Poison to End Mans Agony.

Budapest, Hungary, Jan. 27.-A
sensational murder charge, involv-
ing the ever intricate problem
as to the right Of a doctor to kill an
lncurablc patient, is absorbing pub
lie attention here. The victim had
endured appalling suffering for ten
years, and his malady being with
out remedy, and probably likely to
entail many more years of torture,
the doctor administered poison with
the full consent of the family, who
were assembled at the bedside Of the
patient. \ nurse maid had been lis
telling at the door, and on her cvi-
denre DR.. Fekcte found himself to
be charged with the capital offensc
The case is without precedent in
the courts here, but with public ODin-
ion wholly in favor OF the prisoner,
II is not likely that he will be Sc
Eerely punished.

FARMERS CAN MORTGAGE CROP.

Can Now Get Credit.

Columbia, Jan. 29.-The Hydrick
bill to require that crops be up and
growing at the time Of the execution
Of mortgage thereon, in order to
make the mortgage. valid. provok ed
a long debate and a hard fight in the
House Of Representatives. There
were able speeches on both sides of
the question. Its advocates urged
that It's passage was necessary In or
der to make effective the repeal of
the lien law last session, and that
unless the giving Of mortgages on
crops before they were up was pro-
hibited, that this method would be
substituted for the lien law and the
repeal of that law be made Of no
effect. 1t was either question of
carrying out the policy of the Gene
raj Assembly inaugurated last session
Oh OF renunciaiion. they urged.
The opponents OF the bin urged
that 1t would be a serious blow to
the business interests Of the State to
take away from the farmer the right
to mortgage his crop before 1t Is
actually up and growing, and that it
would wipe out the credit Of the
poor farmer.
Arguments were along the same
line as those DUNG the past num-
Der OF sessions, when the repeal Of
the lien law has been under consid-
Grafton. By vote OF 60 to ~ the
bill was killed.
