Those of our people who atten-
dpd the Jeanerrtte FAIR were not
very much impressed with the
roads IN Iberia parish, they are
nothing to compared with the
roads of St. Martin, aud there can
be no excuse for any progressive
parish or community to have such
mud holes rs thoss nsar Segura,
and the deep one almost in the
town of New Iberia, near the big
saw mill, especially when there
WAS a Fair in Jeanerette and the
bad hole could have been repaired
for less than five dollars. Those
who passed in those bad mud holes
were not complimentary in their
remarks.

A freight train was put on this
branch this week. running from
New Iberia to Arnaudvills, which
relieves the passenger of the
freight service and permits its
running Oh schedule tune. 1t is
reported that When cane hauling
will commence, two freight trains
will run on the branch, ono leav-
ing Arnaudville and one leaving
New Iberia every morning. 1t will
require the service of two trains
to handle the large can crop of
this year, as with the email crop
of last season, the railroad service
was very bad. and caused a good
deal of loss and inconvinience to
the planters. This season tho crop
is much larger and thsre are sew
eral more switches and dsrricks
which means more work for the
trains.

rendered a decision to the effect
that tho school board had no right,
whatever, under the law, to dis
pose of the timber lands in this
parish. This opinion is, or ought
to he. of record in the parish
archives. Since the State has un-
dertaken to recover on the great
quantities Of public lands illegally
disposed of in the various parishes.
the inference is natural that a
great upheaval will soon take
place, by reason of which the State
may come into it's own.
While all leases and sales Of
these public lands are illegal, &C.
cording to the decision of the Su-
preme Court, still they have been
made and could be uDmade -
some parishes have benefited to q
fair extent BY them, among them,
lberville, who has, at the present
time. an experienced, fair minded
and just timber man As president
of the school board, in the person
of Mr.. Joe. Wilbert, whose work
has. up to date, been done strictly
in the interest of The people. Be-
ing acquainted with the timber
business 10 all its various phases,
he has, very properly, held all con-
tractors, notwithstanding the ille-
gality of the contracts, down to
the letter and spirit Of them, espe-
cially in the way of proper mea-
surements, etc, and through this
medium has secured moro money
for the school fund than Was ever
realized from these sources before
This shows how conscientiously
and carefully be guards the sacred
rights of his constituents. for
which he is entitled to, and should
receive, their gratitude and ap.
probation.

School Board Has No Right
UNDER THE LAW TO SELL TIMBER

Philip H. Gilbert, Dis
trict Attorney of the 9th Judicial
District, Chas. L. Workman aud
Sam A. Leblanc, of Napoleonville,
in the parish of Assumption, ell
tered SUIT against the +. b Will
liams Lumber Company, of Pat
terson, 81. Mary parish, for the
sum of $4,000 for denuding Ger
tain sections of said parish of va
liable timber, claiming the RICH,
to have done so by purchase made
by him from the Board of School
Directors, OF said parish of As
sumption. on the 9Th day of De-
csmbsr, 1899. This sale, the petit
ton of the plaintiff. the sovereign
State of Louisiana, declares was
and is absolutely null aud void,
for tho reason that said board of
school directors was absolutely
without any authority in law to
mako said sale. That no pretsnse,
whatever, was made Of complying
with the requirements of the acts
of Congress covering such things,
nor with the laws of tho State of
Louisiana passed in pursuance of
said acts of Congress-" The petit
ton goes on at some length and
shows specifically how the law has
been ignored and the utter lack of
authority Of the school board to
have made such sale. 1t shows
also that not ono cent of tho mo-
uey derived from these sales was
deposited to the credit of the
State, as the law requires, and va
rious other lachs aud loops which
are clearly manifest in the wholly
illegal proceeding.
As it WAS in the parish of As
sumption, 80 has it beer in almos,
every parish in the State. In do
zens of instances the school boards,
in ignorance of the law aud over-
estimating their powers and au-
thority, have disposed Of timber
lands. and getting fair prices for
them, others letting them 60 for a
mere song, being duped and de-
csived into believing,by the would
be purchasers, 40 to their value.
Not very long ago a suit was ell
tered against a lumber company
doing business in the parish of
Lsfourche, to recover timber lands,
which had been sold to the com
pany by the school board, under
the belief that it had a perfect
right to make such sale. The mat
ter was taken into the district
court, from which it wont to the
Supreme Court on appeal, aud
that tribunal decided that the
school board had no earthly right
to 80 dispose of said lands. This,
to an ordinary layman, would
seem to settle it, and, possibly,
does. to great extent, but still,
in defiance of this, the traffic and
trade has been carried on, and the
parties who took the risk will
doubtless pay for their temerity
in good, round sums of money.

DAIRYING IN THE SOUTH

Messrs. Editors: Dairying is grow
ing in popularity among the farmers
OF the Southern States. They are
learning that the dairy COW can do
1or the cotton grower of the South
what she has done for the wheat
grower in the North, i. e.. increase
the fertility of the soil in addition
to making most satisfactory returns
for labor and money expended for
feed.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has been giving particu
lar attention to this question in the
Southern States the past few years
and a great service has been rem
dered. A great impetus has been
given to the dairy movement until
now there are thousands of influen
tlal dairymen singing the praises of
the dairy cow and demonstrating by
actual experiments that dairying is
the salvation of that section of the
country.
Certain politicians, in order to Gre
ate an issue by which they might
retain office, have greatly retarded
the development Of the dairy indus
try in the cotton-growing States by
creating the impression there that
the interests of the cotton grower
are opposed to those of the dairy
man. 1t has been brought about in
this way: Cottonseed oil is used in
the manufacture of some kinds Of
oleomargarine. This has been used
to prejudice the cotton producer
against any and all kinds of legisla-
ton which in any way regulates or
restricts the sale of oleomargarine
A careful estimate, compiled from
Government reports, shows that
through the sale of cottonseed oil
which was used in the manufacture
OF oleomargarine last year, the cot
ton growers Of the South actually re-
ceived one and one-half cents for
every acre planted to cotton!
For every dollars worth of cotton.
seed oil used last year in making
oleomargarine, s107 worth of butter
was produced in these same cotton
growing States.
These are facts which every cot
ton producer should consider before
lending his support to any movement
which is intended to retard the
growth and development Of the dairy
industry in the South.
