Christmas week passed of
without anything extraordinar,
occurring in our little communit,
with only a few violations Of tn
City's laws. In one instance Pc
lice Officer Garcia Miguel wa
compelled to shoot a negro known
as "Terrance" who was disturb
ing the peace at the corner o
Iberia and Washington Streets OF
Tuesday night. From account!
given us the negro when arrested
attempted to take the officers clu'
away and Mr.. M;g1ez pulled his
revolver and shot the negro Il
the calf of the leg inticting only
a flesh wound which was very
fortunate for him. When sobe'
the negro is said to be very
peaceable, but under the Influence
of liquor as happens frequently
he is very insolent and gets in
many scrapes with his associates

Attention is directed to the
announcement in another column
of the meeting of Congressman
Joseph Ransdell, candidate for
the position of United States Sen
ator in opposition to the present
encumbent, Murphy j. Foster for
the 1913 term. The meeting will
be held on the night of January
10th at the Elks Theatre and
from all indications promises to
be one of the biggest outpourings
of the people ever congregated
into that large building as Mr..
Ransdell is exceedingly popular
in this section considering that
his home is in the northern part
of the State. Many Iberians feel
that he is justly entitled to the
promotion he is seeking, first be-
cause Southwestern Louisiana is
bound to be honored with a Sena-
tor, all the other candidates COM
ing fom this section and other
than that. Congressman Ransdell
untiring efforts in behalf Of the
whole State, particularly his in
terest in the waterways will af-
ford much good should be elected.

Never in the history of the
Parish Of iberia during politi-
,al campaign for State and local
office, have the masses taken such
little interest in the selection of
officers. The candidates for the
ocal Offices themselves have put
little ginger into the campaign
and recognize, justly so, the
light Of each voter to differ with
hem in the selection Of candi-
lates for the different positions.
Take for instance the responsible
position of Sheriff. which here
;ofore has been one of bitterness
between the rival candidates
eeking the honors, there has not
,een up to the present time 4
cintilla Of hard feeling exhibit
d since they have announced
themselves. The general impress
ion prevailing in New iberia, in
act. through the Parish is that
10Th Sheriff Henderson and J.
iabi Leblanc will be elected in
he first primary. There is no
loubt but were the fight not so
me sided as it appears to be to
many, the good feeling would not
'e Of long duration.
