AN OBJECT In VIEW,

You seldom find a saving fam
lily paying rent.
A family paying rent has no
special incentive to save, but the
family that buys a home has a
special object to save Tor. They
at once realize that it is much
more important to save their mon
ey and pay for their home than
to waste it foolishly, and if they
have borrowed money from this
Association they can pay it back
in easy monthly payments.
It is all in the plan.
Call on our Secretary.

IS IT WORTH THE PRICE?

While we are most emphatlcal-
" opposed to prohibition i'll eltn-
err the Parish or the City OF New
Iberia. we oftcntimes wonder II
the revenue derived for the
mowers that be. is sufficient to
warrant the further licensing OF
a larger number of liquor houses,
especially when there is such a
stroup inclination on the part 81
some engaged in that line OF oc-
cupation to violate the laws OF
ihc State and City tiftN-two sun
DAYS in each year. Was the
crime committed Dv Whlskey-
,razcd negro at .lcanerette last
Sunday evening due to Sunday
law violation, or did the villain
procure his whiskey the day
previous. when it was Legitimate
% make the sale, even tho he
appeared at the bar showing evil
dcuce Of intoXication. This is q
question TO be considered not only
~ the citizens. but the officials
who have the enforcement of the
laws in hand in Jeanerette. New
Iberia. Loreauville and other
parts of the Parish. Is not the
life of one white man worth more
to the community than all of the
licenses that will henceforth be
collected while the traffic is at
the disposal of the public. Does
it not cost more to Police the
Parish and punish the violatOrs
of crime when dives are scat
tered broadcast? Is it a wise
policy to issue licenses to an al.
ditional number who might wish
to engage in that line of occupa-
ton? We do not advise the an
nuIlment of any ones license
who is at present engaged in tho
sale of liquor, but we implore
both, the Police Jurors and off
Gals of New iberia, Jeanerettt
and Loreauville to take positive
stand and refuse to issue licenses
for a larger number than is a!
present engaged in the business
even tho they have the endorse
ment by petition, from the citi
zens residing in the different
wards where they wish to open
no matter at what price the Ii
cense is fixed. The business b"
ing legitimatized by law, we hav.
no criticism to cast upon any one
who has a few hundred dollars tt
invest in fixtures and bar. bnt
we do see the necessity for keep
ing each section of the Parish
free from more of these establish
ments where liquor can be
bought. There are a thousand
and one reasons why the number
should not be increased and i
remains with the Police Jury ant
City Councils to checkmate thu
evil under any and all circum
stances. A saloon when decent,
managed by white men can be
tolerated, but the promiscuou'
licensing of negro brothels is
bound to result disastrous for thu
community and the sooner per
mits are refused for an addition
al number the better for ali con
cerned.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN
TON

As foresrrn. the Constitutional
Convention which assembled III
Baton Rouge last Monday select
ed its officers and perfected or
eanization without the least irlc-
ton. With Ex-Governor Newton
G. Blanchard Of Caddo as char
man McsSrs. Butler Of Tcrre-
bonnie and Thcard Of Orleans,
vice chairmcn and the venerable
clerk of the House Of Representa-
tive Robt S. Landry as Secre-
fairy: the Convention immediate
" set TO work to devise ways and
means TO redeem the credit OF the
State and to establish sound H.
nancial policy which will serv"
for all times. Governor Hall
who has been untiring in his Ell
forts to provide for the payment
of $11 900, 100000 bonded indebt-
edness maturing next january,
was present at the opening SEES
sion and in a carefully prepared
message offered suggestions and
advise which are of untold aid TO
the committees who are now
busy preparing the bill for the
consideration and action OF the
Convention. This task, ardous
and tedious has been rendered
less tiresome by the perfect u"
, derstanding and harmony pre-
vailing in the committee who
have agreed to submit the rec om
mendation to refund the maturing
, debt by the issuance OF serial
bonds bearing four and One-haLt
per cent interest and running Tor
period of fifty years, and pro.
vidinp or their retirement at the
option of the Board Of Llqulda-
ton. whenever funds becom"
available for that purpose. n
further recommendation Is that.
should it become necessary, the
Board should be vested with au-
,l,y to dispose the bonds ct
less than par. A wise provision
and one which will permit the
| ready sale Of securities which at
| this time are hard to place in any
of the money centers.
Another subject embraced III
the call for the Convention relates
to the laws regulating the affairs
of the New Orleans Sewerage and
Water Board. In the consldera-
ticn of this, matters have not
gone so smoothly with the com
mittee. The proposition to pay
the President pro tempOre an an
nual salary of 100000 brought
forth strong protest and, led by
Mr. Farrar of New Orleans, OPP
position has developed which will
be carried on until final DISPOSE
ton Of the pending bill. AS this
pertains more especially to New
Orleans. we Of the country will
be- but interested spectators and
await the outcome.
While these two subjects were
considered the only reasons for
the Convention. other bills have
been introduced which are well
worthy of consideration. Mr..
Patterson of St. Mary would
have an organicHw which would
exclude all trusts from the State !:
while Mr.. Hart of New Orleans
seeks to cancel "A articles of the
present constitution relating to
the Judiciary and in their stead
enact one article which would
empower the Legislature to de-
termine the number and kind of
Courts which should dispense
Justice in this State. This last
two have many meritorious fea-
lures. and if within the province
of the Convention, should be Civ

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE.

The fourth Quarterly Confer
ence of the Methodist Church
(South) at this place was held
last Monday, November 10th,
Rev. J. !. Hoffpauir presiding.
The business Of the organization
was discussed and reports from
the Preacher in charge, Rev. AL
bert s. Lutz were read, as to the
State of the church. Number of
Sunday Schools, Epworth Leagues
and other societies all found in
active operation. The finances of
the church are in good condition
considering the nnfavorable sea-
son that has pervaded this section
most of the year. Board Of
Trustees made report for the
year, showing values of church
properties, Parsonages, money
expended for improvements, in
snrance and incidentals. The
church membership has increased,
The Sunday School under the
able leadership and superintend-
ence of Hon. Henry N. Pharr, has
maintained its standard of ex-
cellence and efficiency. One fea-
ture Of a recent session of the
Sunday School was the raising by
the pupils and teachers Of $1,000
for the support Of the Orphanage
at Ruston, La, in charge of Rev.
Robt. Vaughn, late pastor here.
On the whole the outlook for
Methodism in this locality is very
encouraging, which is a stimulus
to continued exertion and de-
velopment.

ALPHONSE VIATOR KILLED
BY A NEGRO

On Sunday evening last the
residents }of this community
were greatly excited when word
was brought from .)canerettc
that Mr.. Alphonse Viator, Jr.,
a conductor Of the Trolley line
had been killed by a whlskey-
crazcd negro who had also slain
a step-son about eighteen years
of ace, after which the murderer
was shot to pieces by officers who
were endeavoring to get him to
give himself up to the law. When
the news was first made known
here it was to the effect that Mr..
Viator had been shot while eject
ING an insulting negro from the
cars. Su'ch proved to be untrue,
which developed the next morn
ing. however dozens of our cltl-
zens boarded the Trolley ears
bound for Jeanerette, hearing thai
the negro was at bay and defylnS
any one to come near the cabin
in which he was concealed. When
the ear reached the extreme end
of the line at Jeanerettc, Mr..
Viator, as was his practice while
WAITING for schedule time, made
it habit to visit clstern which
was in the rear of an old black
smith shop to quench his thirst
and had lust taken a drink OF
water when he heard a negro
woman scream for help and the
report of a shot GUN at almost the
same time. The unfortunate
young man thinking he could be
of assistance and prevent crime,
if none had vet been committed,
jumped the fence dividing the
negro cabin from the yard wher"
he stood, and walked up to the
front door when he received a
lead of buckshot, seventeen IN
number, mortally wounding hun.
BY that time officers were OH tn"
scene and a fusillade of shots was
kept up by the negro and officers
who were trying to overtake the
villain. No more shots coming
from the cabin the officers then
felt certain the negro was wound
ed after which he expired in d
few minutes. In the meantime
preparations were made to bring
Mr.. Viator to a hospital at Pat
terson which was done, but the
trip was useless as he expired
thirty six hours thereafter. Ills
remains were brought to New
Iberia on Tuesday morning and
laid out at his home in East End
where he and his young wife had
taken up their residence. The
funeral was held from the Cath
Ollie church the same afternoon
at five o'clock in the presence of
hundreds of sympathetic friends
and relatives. Deceased leaves
to mourn his demise besides his
young widow and child, mother,
father and several brothers and
sisters, who have the sympathy
of the community. The esteem
in which he was held by the whole
community was visible from the
number of beautiful floral
wreaths sent to the home by his
friends and the officers of tho
Southwestern Traction & Power
Company. During the hours OF
the funeral General Manager Of
the Company, Mr.. Crosby had all
OF the ears to cease operation
and they did not resume schedule
until seven O clock p. NJ.
