THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
VENTION.

New Iberia. La, Aug. ii, 10.
Editor Enterprise:
Whatever difference Of opinion
exists as to whether or not we
should vote for the Constitutional
Convention seems based Oh the
fear that the membership will not
be such as will do satisfactory
work. Nearly everyone agrees
that the State needs new constl-
tuition, but many are dissatisfied
with the personnel as thus Tar
chosen. In view, however, OF the
strong probability that conven-
ton will be held, it is the plain
duty Of the voters to send as dele
gates from Iberia, the men best
equipped for the work. We can
not vote to send any save the best
without being ourselves guilty OF
the offense which is charged
against others.
Senator Robert F Broussard, IN
endorsing the candidacy of Mr..
Porteus R. Burke for the conven-
ton, has called attention to his
high qualifications and has urged
his election upon this ground.
No more excellent reason could be
given.
While yet in his early twentles,
Mr.. Burke represented this Par
ish in the General Assembly of the
State. and though one Of the very
youngest, became one Of it's most
influential members. This was
due to his strong personality and
his great popularity among those
who know him. These qualities,
together with Mr.. Burke's con-
structive ability and ready re-
sourcefulness, fit him most excel
lently for membership in the con-
vention.
T. It is to be hoped that the voters
will rise to the Importance OF
electing the ablest men to repre-
sent them, and will send Mr..
Burke as a delegate from Iberia.
Respectfully,
EDWARD T. WEEKS.

THAT GYPSY CAMP.

Lovers of good music have a
rare treat in store. An orchestra
Of real musicians gypsies all OF
them has been discovered in our
midst, and have been thoroughly
drilled under the master hand of
Prof. Sheldon. This Orchestra
has been engaged by the engaging
band Of gypsies who will invade
our quiet town on Aug. 9th and
will make their first public APP
pearance at that time. 1t has
been whispered that the sOld
Oaken Bucket has been discov-
cred stored away in our midst,
and has been brought out and had
the moss rubbed off. and will take
its regular place in the well on
this occasion. One Of the young
est and fairest of the Gypsy
maidens will be on hand to ma
nipulate the bucket. and the nec-
tar that will come from the. well
hear the closets scrutiny Of the
Grape Juice politicians. Among
other things, so we are told, will
be an exhibition of the manufac-
ture Of yarn, like mother used to
make by one of the gypsies, and
right here we put in q claim for
enough to make just one pair Of
stockings. AL you young men
of 60 or thereabonts will know
what / mean. and will understand
the yearning we have to encase
our pedal extremities again in a
pair of stocking like mother used
to make. And Their again-did
you ever pay out your nickle, and
put your hand in the sack and
draw out the capital prize? We
have. And we propose again to
try our luck and see what we can
get. This Grab Bag is like get
ing married, and we know we got
the capital prize in that, and if
you don't believe it just ask our
wife. We fully expect that this
Gypsy Camp is going to cost us
a number Of Jitneys, and we
know that when we recover our
senses the next morning, we will
say that the time we spent from
6to 10 P. NJ. at the Gypsy Camp on
Friday, August 9th was we'll
spent. Here's to the Gypsies.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

The subjoined article was repro

this City who is familiar with
that country as we'll as Europe
and is deeply interested in the
final outcome of the great conflict
that is so detrimental to that
country at the present time:
"That battleship called the
Agamemnon should lombard a

is a remarkable coincidence. The
ship is called after the leader
of the Greeks in the siege of Troy,
the site Of which is within sound
of the guns of the great squadron

THE PARISH FAIR.

We are glad to notice the great
interest that is being manifested
by our people in the Live Stock
and Agricultural Fair that will
be held in New iberia, September
"a, 25 and .26. 1t shows that our
people are alive to the great I'M
portance of such a Fair to New
Iberia and Iberia Parish. The
fact is, we should have been hav-
ing Fairs here before, but we
can't start any earlier and the
first We are getting ready to hold,
looks now that it will be one OF
the1very best, if not the best ever
held naSouthwest Louisiana and
on account of certain features 1t
should sbe' zone Of the best ever
heidsairi the entire State. The fact
that there will Ibe no admission

make this Fair one Of exceptional

all the progress possible: The
Catalogue Committee is hard at
work getting the material in
shape and getting the necessary
Ads to pay for its publication.
Thus far, it is reported that fery
favorable responses are being
daily received from firms and
concerns in different parts of the
country asking for space reserva-
ton in the catalogue. In former
issue we published a notice to our
merchants and citizens, to the eff
feet that if they wanted Ad space
.reerved to make known their
wants early, as the Committee is
| in a hurry to get the catalogue
out.
Replies are coming in too, from
breeders and exhibitors from
numerous Parishes in the State as
we'll as those from our own Par
ish. Some Of the best livestock
in the State will be in the show,
thus affording our people an OPP
.portunity to see and compare our
stock with that of others from
other parts.
No matter what 1t is, our peo-
pile have, they should enter, it, and
compete for prizes, for we under
stand that liberal premiums will
be awarded. But even if no
premiums were won, an interest
! and spirit of emulation will be
awakened that is bound to re-
dound- to the welfare of our Par
ish. Then again, show is the
hest place on earth to sell what
you have, so let everybody get
ready and make the exhibit from
Iberia a large and creditable one.
Now is the time also for all our
citizens to join in and lend their
every effort, because the co-opera-

BONDED WAREHOUSES;
NEEDED IN THIS
COUNTRY.

It will be noted the hrst sale OF
500 barrels Of rice put upon the
market this week brought from
$3.41 to 1852 per barrel, despite
the fact that the crop is reported
short all through the rice grow
ing sections. 1t shows very con-
elusively that the minipulators OF
the rice buying market have an
understanding between them
selves to get the crop again this
season at their own figures, thus
depriving the grower of what is
honestly his, as a result Of his hon
est toll and money used IN max
ing this expensive crop. We're
our farmers and others interested
in his success to build bonded
warehouses; at convenient locations,
this important cereal could be
stored and a receipt given the
farmer which he could take to
the bank and borrow upon, until
better prices are offered. thus
condition would not prevail much
longer. AS long as the millers OF
this State have it within their
power to fix their own prices this
same unsatisfactory condition will
prevail and those who should be-
come Independent as it were from
their efforts, will continue in their
same old rut-dependent upon
whatsoever is backing them in
making their crop. The farmer
being in need of ready cash
under the present system all vie
with one another in making an
effort to sell their output first, in
stead Of withholding it until the
market is such that a fair margin
Of profit can be obtained. This
recalls to our mind few remarks
made bv one Of the speakers at a
recent Progressive meeting held
in New iberia some few days ago.
lin his TRADE upon the Democratic
party-if we are correctly in
formed-he said he prayed for a
continuance of the war with all
its destruction in order that the
farmers of Louisiana Ike in posi-
ton to get prices for their pro-
ducts that they would receive
were the opposing party in power.
If the effort this particular gentle
man is putting into the campaign
were devoted to- crushing the
monopolies in this State that is
weighing our farmers down, pos
sibly conditions would be a thou
sand fold better for the country.
We cannot conceive how any one
can stand before an intelligent
audience in this enlightened civ
ilization and make such illusions
to the European conflict being
necessary for our salvation. It
is organization the tiller of the
soil desires more than legislation
unless that legislation be. to
protect the farmer from the ma
nipulators of the market when
our crops are to be harvested
As the FARMER puts his whole
trust in what the politician tells
him-just so long will he remain
in the mire. Let those who have
his Interest 1T heart offer him
some protection when he is about
to gather his crop from the fields.
The European war does not help
mattefs one bit from our point Of
view, judging from the present
prices being paid for the cereal
and the farmers will never get
redress until they learn that it is
organization they want more than
anything else.
