WORK PROGRESSING ON THE
TROLLEY.

The Main Street Of this City
was a scene of much activity all
the later part Of the week, due to
the hauling and deposting along
the thoroughfare of thousands OF
cross-ties to be used III the con-
struction of this important work.
Last Thursday morning the men,
bers of the Board of Trade were
called together at the Peoples
National Bank, their usual meet
ing place, to arrange for the pur-
chase of a site within the corpo
rate limits for the erection OF the
big Power Plant. 1t was the
sense Of those present that the
CITY Council should buy the EN-
mer brick yard property on lower
Main Street and offer it to the
Southwestern Traction and Pow
err Co. for the erection of their
Power House and car barns, if 1t
was acceptable to the promoters
of the line and we have it from ex-
cellent authority that the Council
will make the purchase if it will
insure the erection Of the Pant
within the City limits. From
what we were informed several
sites have been offered along the
route free of all costs by prop
erty holders below the City lin
it's, and the matter will be decided
upon the arrival here of Mr.. Jules
Godchaux of New Orleans, one of
the biggest stockholders in the en-
terprise. Now that we will be
connected up with Jeanerette by
Trolley it behooves the citizens of
New iberia to offer inducements
at once to the promoters to extend
the line direct to Delcambre
Erath and Abbeville which will
make New iberia the hub for this
entire section of the country, the
trade from those points IN one
year will more than compensate
us for the small tax to be gwen.
The farming classes in those see
tions mentioned will readily take
advantage of the quick transpor-
tation facilities at small cost ana
pour into this City to do their
shopping and it behooves all lbe-
rians to get together at once and
vote another additional tax for
the extension of the road to those
sections. A road to Dele ambre,
Erath and Abbeville will be just
as important to the welfare OF
New Iberia as connection with
and before the citizens
Of the towns further East make
bids to be connected by trolley, let
us close a contract with the pro-
motors to include the above places
in the proposed route, thus insur-
ing connection with the richest
agricultural section Of the State.
At the meeting Thursday night
of the City Council the corporate
limits was extended to the west
side Of the Liettemeyer property |
so as to give the use Of the public
road to that point without inter
ference by the Parish authorities,
it being contrary to law for a
trolley to operate on the public
highways of the Parish in the
State of Louisiana. The good cit
liens of New Iberia are at last
awakening to the value of enter
prises of this nature. and offering
every inducement to the gentle
pen connected with the corpora |
ton, which is a healthy condition |
and speaks volumes for our citi-

THE SECOND PRIMARY.

1t is to be regretted that the
Parish is forced to undergo the
necessity of second primary
for Sheriff, when the first came
SO near settling the question OF
the respective qualifications OF
the three aspirants. If Mr.. Hen
derson had received just four
teen votes more than he did, he
would have defeated both oppon-
ents, Notwithstanding the woo
rous and aggressive campaign
carried on by both, thus showing
how determined the people were
in giving their unqualified ap-
proval to the conduct that gov
erned the present incumbent IN
the administration of the Sheriff S
office. In order to belittle and
circumvent the will Of the voters
as manifested in the first pri-
mary. and in vain and useless eff
fort to stem the tide that has
been constantly rising in Mr..
Henderson's favor, false and
futile reports have been indus
triously circulated, through the
medium of the public press and
by active and envious enemies,
that some of the Sheriff. strong
supporters in past campaigns
have deserted him and joined the
ranks Of his opponents. These
reports are given circulation as
campaign trichery and in order to
bolster up a weak and tottering
cause, and in the desperate hope
that they may in some measure
keep their few remaining fol
lowers who are despairing and
crestfallen, from enrolling under
the Henderson banner as so many
have done since Mr.. DelahOussaye
has been eliminated from the
race. 4 u
No one knows better than the
Sheriff's opponents, who are d.
ligent in discriminating this team
paign DOPE" that more defec-
tions have come from the camp
of the enemy than from that of
the Sheriff. We do not take
these gentlemen seriously in their
methods of endeavoring to gath
er recruits. nor do we believe
that they take themselves seri-
ously, and our only purpose in
making reference to their claims,
is that some unwary voter may
give credance to their statements
and under that delusion join the
opposition. 4
Actuated by what we believe to
be the best interests and welfare
of the Parish, in earnestly and
energetically supporting Mr.. !
Henderson, AS we have done in
the. past, "The Enterprise bears
no malice to Mr.. Lassalle, we
know him to be an affable and
pleasant gentleman, and have al
ways valued his friendship and
appreciated his worth as citi-
zen, but we do not believe that |
he possesses the qualifications
which are demanded Of a Sheriff. !
We feel confident that the
citizenship Of Iberia will always
stand as one man in support Of a
public official who has admins
tered his office in a faithful and
fearless manner. who has respond
ed to every public call with readi-
ness and executed every duty in
> way that deserves praise and
commendation. As they showed /
their approval of the faithful and
manner in which Hon.
Gabi. Leblanc and his efficient
assistants have conducted the af- !;
Aairs of the Clerks Office, 50 vii;
hey by an overwhelming vote
register their approval of the,
management Of the Sheriff's of
ice under George Henderson, the
strong and courageous parochiai
,fieial. II ~(~
