WINDROWING AT ORANGE
GROVE.
Editor Enterprise:

Editor Enterprise:
The reading Of last weeks wind
rowing written by our neighbor-
ing sugar houses induces us to
include ourselves in publishing an
account of our successful cutting.
Following an order on Monday,
November 9th, relative to clos
ing the mill at moon, the boys Of
Orange Grove and in fact We can
say all i. e.. from chemist to cane
weigher and engineer to car
coupler. joined in mutual re-
Spouse to the movement. Delight
ed with an opportunity of show
ing their good employer, Mr.. II.
n. Pharr, an example of the in
terest they have always taken in
the welfare Of the factory; after
dinner, Under the leadership OF
chief engineer, Frank Smith, they
marched in a body to the field
with a spirit that was no more
than just to the cause. Here they
were met by Mr. F. l.. Mudd and
were armed for the fray. 1t was
not long before the overseer had
become aware that old Jack Frost
was meeting with a sad defeat at
the hands of the Olivier warriors
and by Saturday, he happily real
lied that they had completely
shattered all plans of future at
tacks. The results of our wind
rowing naturally were greatly
beneficial and considered from
my point Of view. based on the
reliable information I have very
discretely obtained from those
concerned. l can say without fear
of contradiction that in a day or
two we will be on the safe side.
The reason for this assertion. is
that the planters, learning by eX-
perience have very obediently
complied with the first warning Of
windrowing and thereby were not
caught mapping. Also l may ada
that with the succeeding frost we
are now having, places us in po-
sition to say that if any damage
is done. it will be comparatively
small. Banishing all further fears
of the future we cap conclude
with the assurance of the farmers
for a prosperous season.

and Eastern; w. C. Dufour, gen
eral attorney of the Frisco at
New Orleans; Ivy 7. Preston, Sec
rotary of several Frisco corpora
tons; Jules M. Burguieres and >.
II. Elliot, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Frisco lines
of Louisiana and Texas. Mr..
Winchell was made president;
Mr.. Elliott, vice president and
Mr.. Preston, secretary. MIR. Du-
four stated that he has been notl-
fed to finish all legal preliminar-
les as soon as possible so as to get
the work under way with all
speed. The construction will be
supremely difficult, as a good part
of the line is to be built through
the Atchafalaya swamp. Thls
line will however, compete with
the Lafayette cutoff OF the
Southern Pacific from Lafayette
to Baton Rouge, which cuts out
about $50 miles in the transcOn-
tinental hauling as compared with
having to pass through New Dr.
leans to get to the West.
This line has, however, nothing
to do with the project to build a
line on the east bank of the Miss
issippi, from the Ohio river cross
ings to New Orleans. utilizing the
pragmentary lines Of the New Or
leans. Mobile and Chicago lines
as a nucleus. This is the line
which will connect through other
lines to Chicago and st. Louis
and will be built from Beaumont,
Miss. to New Orleans to gain an
entrance to this city.
The east bank line will give the
Yoakum properties access to New
Orleans through the southeast and
also from the Central Freight AS
ISOLATION territory and will assist
greatly in developing the plans OF
Yoakum to make New Orleans n
greater import point.
The west bank line from Mem
phis to Port Barre is designed to
get a more even break on the bus
mess to and from Mexico, and the
Southwest as well as from all
parts of Louisiana and Texas by
a shorter line and via its own
rails. Otherwise the Frisco would
have to work in conjunction with
the Rock Island from Memphis to
Little Rock and thence to Eunicc,
which was very round-at out and
far too great in mileage, or with
the Iron Mountain to Alexandra
from Memphis and thence to
Eunice or Kinder. where connec-
tons with the Frisco lines were
made. This, of course, meant a
big division in revenues with con-
slant complaint on account of the
handling delays by other lines.
The Memphis-Port Barre con-
nection with the Welch lines. i. e.,
the New Iberia and Northern and
the New iberia St. Mary and
Eastern opens up new territory
for the Yoakum lines which it is
predicted will be prolific.

ACTUAL STARVATION.
Facts About Indigestion and its
Relief That Should Interest

Although Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia are so prevalent. most peo-
pie do not thoroughly understand
their cause and cure. There is no
reason why most people should
not eat anything they desire-if
they will only chew it carefully
and thoroughly. Many actually
starve themselves into sickness
through fear Of eating every good
looking. good-smelling, and good
tasting food. because it does not
agree with them.
The best thing to do is to fit
yourself to digest any good food.
We believe We can relieve Dys.
pepsia. We are so confident 70
this fact that we guarantee and
promise to supply the medicine
free Ct all cost to every one who
will use it. who. is not perfectly
satisfied with the resulth which it
produces. We exact no promises,
and put no one under any Obliga.

INTERESTING MEETING.

uc NlVlC AcdSuc VI ANcW luz

profitable meeting ON Monday

ident Of the Board of Health was
scheduled to address the mem.
bers on the best methods of help
ing in q cleaning-up crusade in
New iberia, but, at the last mo-
ment he was called off upon pro-
fessional business. However, the
other speaker of the day. Prof. L..
A. Valet gave the meeting quite
an exhaustive and practical talk
upon the formation of Junior
Leagues in the public schools Of
New iberia.
Plans were formulated by
which meetings between teach
ers, pupils and officers of the
Civic League, should take place
within the next few days, in or
der to put the Junior Leagues on
practical basis. which would ed
ncate the young people of New
Iberia in the sanitary laws and
the love of the decorative which
will show good results in the
schools and in New Iberia. gen.
orally. This is one of the objects.
of the Civic League, to be worked
for in conjunction with the in
stallation of sewerage and other
important improvements in our
City.
While the League has quite a
good membership. it is DESTROYS
that every man and woman in
New Iberia, having the welfare Of
the City. at heart. should join this
good movement which is bound to
benefit US, as it has benefited
other places all over the country.

Co.. Elmira, N. Y. Ct
Mr.. w. S. Patterson, a prom
inent citizen of high character.
and who has been engaged in sew
eral political movements in New
Orleans. but always refusing to
accept any public office or emolu
ment, has written somewhat
singular letter, which has been
made public in an unusual way,
and as it is connected with the
present gubernatorial campaign,
is of some public interest.
The letter in question is adj
dressed to Mr.. Michel, stating that
he. Mr.. Parkerson, Endorsed Mi
chefs candidacy on condition that
he. Mr.. Parkerson, was not bound
to vote for Michel. That was a
most singular Endorsement, which
was intended to have no actual
meaning, but was for show.
Now, Mr.. Parkerson in the let
ter to Michel. announces that he
has withdrawn that Endorsement
because of Mr.. Michel's land mr.
chases.
But evidently Mr.. Patterson
wanted his letter to be made pub
lie. and to insure it's publicity he
sent copy of the letter to Mr..
Robert Ewing. the most outspoken
and bitter political enemy of Mi
chel, and it was published in the
States and is published in this
mornings Picayune.
Except that it is an expression
of Mr. Parkerson's well-known
eccentricities. it can attract little
attention. But it was surely Al
singular sort Of Endorsement Of
Mr.. Michel's gubernatorial candi-
dacy, that it was expressly condi-
toned that it committed the in
dorser to nothing. It is difficult
to see how the withdrawal Of such
an Endorsement can deprive Mr.. |
Michel Of single vote, not even
