An unfortunate accident be
fell Mr.. Clifford Todd last Satur
de- afternoon which cost him his
life and east a gloom over this
community. From what we could
learn it seems at about five o'clock
that afternoon the young man
took mp his revolver and at
tempted to clean it when it was
discharged and the bullet pene-
tratcd and went through his in
tcstines. Physicians were rushed
to the home Of Mr.. Moran where
he was living at the time and
thew accompanied him to Lafay-
cite for further surgical treat
ment. Despite the surgical at
tention he received, on Monday
morning he succumbed from the
wounds. After his death. the
remains We're taken to Franklin.
his native home for intcrment.
Mr.. Todd came to New iberia
some fifteen months ago and re-
sided with his relative. Mr.. Moran
and while here made many friends
among our young people. He had
reached the age Of only twenty
one years and his family have TIE
svGnathy of large circle of
friends throughout the Attkapas

The storm which crossed the
Caribbean sea on Wednesday
night did but little damage this
side of New Orleans. In Miss
Georgia and Alabama ac-
cording to the newspaper reports
the crops suffered material dam

several heavy downfalls of rain
which. instead Of doing harm will
nave a tendency to benefit the !
cane to a large extent. In fact !
some parts of the Parish can stand |
half dozen more heavy down.

'nough. 1t is fortunate that we
laye had no heavy winds in this
ectiOn. more especially because
he corn is so tall and green that
would not take much of wind

MIR. Luke L. Bertrand of the
Bertrand Lumber Company pur-
chased this week for their factory,
eight wood working machines for
the manufacture of sash, door and
blinds. These machines will be
removed from the old dismantled
plant Of the Iberia Cypress Com
pany and be installed in the Ber-
trand mill as soon as the build
ing is remodelled for their recep-
ton. This Company proposes to
20 extensively into the making Of
sash. door and blinds and New
Iberia will be in position to boast
of having another large industry
which will give employment to a
great number of skilled mechanics.
AS it is to-day. the only industry
we have that employees more
than one dozen men is the big
mill Of the P. L. Renoudet Lum-.
Der Company. The loss of the!
Iberia Cypress Company which
was shortly followed by the Ge-
bert Shinele Mill discontinuine
operations threw q large number
Of our people out Of employment.
The only industry of that kind
We now have is the Renoudet
mill and the scarcity of timber is
such that it does not operate as
steadily as the MANAGEMENT of
that industry would like to see.
We hope when Mr.. Bertrand does
get his sash. door and blind fac
torv in full operation that our
people will give it such ENCOURAGE
ment that the owners will he able |
TO operate the mill steadily the
whole wear round.

I The annoyance of certain
lOafers, both white and black who
lounge around the Parish prison
at all hours Of the day and night
has caused Sheriff Landry to have
erected around the prison a wire
fence that will keep them off at
a distance unless they get orders
to 90 into the Jail yard on some
good excuse, acceptable to the of
ficers. Mr.. Landry did well in
taking this prccaution because it
was a very easy matter to slip
tools into the jail by which those
who wished to escape could easily
do so. When prisoners are in
carccrated therein, no one without
a GOOD reason should be allowed
permission to hang around the
windows to talk to the prisoners.
The easier it is made for some of
the chronic law breakers when
they enter the jail. the less they
care for the punishment that is
being imposed upon them. It is
very noticeable from the records
that most Of what is generally
termed petty infractions Of the
Law is hein" done by the very
same class Of people. Confinc-
ment behind the bars does not
seem 70 have any effect upon them
and Mr. Landry seems to be de-
tcrmined to take some of the lib
critics from some Of those who are
sentenced to serve sentences at
every session Of the District
Court.

All Other Measures Sub
mitted to Arkansas Vot-
ers Apparently Go Thru.

Little Rock, Nov. S.-With about
two-thirds of the state reported, it
is evident a majority OF about $4,000
was rolled up in Arkansas for both
the national and state Democratic
tickets, and that the proposal to sub
stitute local option for statewide
prohibition has been defeated. Par
tial returns from 60 OF Is counties in
the state show a vote of 16,S27 for
and 1885 against the amendment
The same precincts gave 2S,5S7 for
and 12,754 against the amendment
providing for radical changes in the
primary laws with object of eliminat-
ing frauds in elections. The proposed
amendment to increase the limit that
may be voted for school tax purposes
has been adopted. The vote SO far
reported shows PUTT for and 13,34S
against. ~
The act to increase the powers OF
the initiative and referendum and
limit authority of legislature and the
supreme court probably has been de-
feated. The vote so far reported
shows 1904 for and 20.535 against
The act intended to facilitate build
ing good roads vote shows 24,501 for
and 1921 against.

CAR ACCIDENT
Not Yet Determined How
Many Died When Car
Plunged from Bridge.

Boston, Nov. 8.-A special investi-
cation will be ordered to determine
responsibility for the wreck last night
Of crowded passenger car of the
Boston Elevated Street Railway COM
pany, which plunged through an open
drawbridge shortly before midnight
at Fort Point channel, just outside the
south station terminal. The number
of dead today wa san object of con-
lecture, the lists generally being
agreed that 80 or 40 persons were kill
ed either by the crash or from drown
ing after the coach was submerged.
Twelve Persons Saved.
Twelve persons who were passen-
gers nthe car were rescued by fire
boats and tugs, after the accident be-
came known. One man, Thomas J..
Cannon, died after he was taken from
the water. Two bodies were found
with graphing irons, but the recovery
OF other bodies was delayed because
they were under the wreckage.
The first assistant draw tender,
Timothy ]. Shea, who was in charge
of the bridge, disputed the statement
OF the motorman that there were no
lights at the draw. Shea said the u.s.
ual red signal lights were on the gate.
He was not sure, he said, whether the
arc lamp on the bridge was lighted.

campaign, in a statement issued to-
day, said:
In 1912 the Socialist party polled
100000 votes. In this election the re-
turns show that we have polled about
100000. While this gain is not as
great as we had hoped for, wask
satisfied with the general result. ' we
believe we have elected about 30
members of legislatures in 81 states
In Minneapolis we elected our candi-
date for mayor, Thomas H. Van Lear
We expected to elect seven or eight
congressman but apparently we have
elected none"
