defeated there was disappoin:
ment even among some of the
members of the opposition as well
as among that of the Democrats.
The manner in which the Party
fight was made resulted in the
IcOmpiete humiliation of the
Democratic candidates throu2 he, t
the Parish. In fact they carried
EVERY Ward but that of the Sixth
which elected Mr.. Landry Sheriff ;
j. A. Gonsoulin, Clerk of Court F.;
,Hick Fremin, Assessor; DR.. E. S.
Fulton, Coroner; Jolice Jurors of
this Ward-Messrs. Fritz Eietlein,
and A. A. Theriot. Mr.. Erath be-
ing elected as Democrat. These
gentlemen as well as the other
officials elect will no doubt all do
their best to represent the entire
people as their predecessors did,
who will shortly retire from
Ioffice. From what we learn, Mr..
Landry will have as his assist
ants in the Office, Messrs. Albert
iBroussard and Vic NJ. Aubry,
both Of whom will make excellent
officials. There is no doubt Tony
will make iberia a splendid
Sheriff and he has reason to feel
proud Of the large vote given him
by the citizens of the Parish,
many of whom were Democrats.
Our Representatives. elect are
Mr.. L. A. Moresi of Jeanerette,
the present encumbent. and Police
Juror Leon J. Landry. Both of
them are men of integrity.
The Democratic candidate for
the State Senate, Hon. Ventress

Mr.. Smith carried st. Martin

lost Lafayette and iberia which

a distinct loss to iberia as we will

closed one of the hottest contest
that was ever recorded in Iberi;
Parish. and the Progressive Part,
insofar as iberia Parish is con
cerned, could not have been more
victorious under the circumstan
'ces. Despite the hard fight Of tn,
Democrats only two members Of
its Party were victorious, Messrs
Victor Erath as member Of the
Police Jury and Mr.. N. J. Do
mingue as Marshal OF the City
Court, Hon. J. S. Power having
no opposition pitted against him
for the office Of Judge.
The weather being exceedingly
fine there was no excuse for any
one to absent themselves from the
polls, and with but few exceptions
every qualified voter presented
himself at the booth to make his
selection. For several weeks
past it was generally understood
that the leaders Of both sides
were bent upon inducing the vot-
ers to stamp the emblem solely,
and in this they succeeded re-
markably well as there were but
few scratch tickets polled in any
of the Wards outside of New he
ria and when the votes were
counted throughout the Parish,
Mr.. P. "A. Landry, the Progressive
candidate for Sheriff had defeated
the present encumbent, Mr.. Geo.
Henderson, some four hundred
and sixty votes. It was land
slide. In New Iberia where it
was expected that Mr.. Hender-
son would get not less than one
hundred and fifty more than his
he only carried the
City by thirteen. In some of the
precincts of New iberia ebony"
also came out a few ahead. To
some of the leaders, this was
but insofar as the Par
ish was concerned there were but
few who could not see at a glance !,
over the situation that there was !
no way to change the sentiment in

A PROSPECTIVE INDUSTRY,

some months ago, we stated
these columns that Mr.. \. c. Bel
marc. the secretary Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce was in tOuc.
with Paper Pulp Company fror
Pennsylvania and furnishing Their
data and information relative t,
Bagasse and other raw mat"ria
with view Of interesting thes'
people and getting them to locate
a Paper Pulp Plant here at New
Iberia.
On Monday of this week, Mr.
Nj. w. Marsden and Mr.. ". 6
Garsed, representing this com
pany, paid our City a visit, 1ol
the purpose of making a persona
investigation of conditions. These
gentlemen looked over >evera
sites and properties and after
wards met in the Office Of the
Chamber Of Commerce, OIL City
Commissioners and several a.eln-
bers of the Board of our Chamber
and discussed their plans for the
building here Of one Of the larg-
est industries we have ever had.
We learn that these gentlemen
are not only well impressed with
the advantages of New Iberia as
the best point in Louisiana for
such an industry, having as it
does, s.. ,ndid water and rail ia
cilities, but they were especially
impressed with the abundant
supply of raw material within a
twenty mile radius from this
noint, supply unequaled at any
other point. The object of
these men is to operate a plant
here for twelve months in the
year, and we understand that
during the first year at least $50
men will be employed. This
company is now operating sew
eral mills making paper and other
products from cotton stalks. A
sample of the finest silk made
from stalks by this company was
exhibited and occasioned much
surprise.
1t was Mr.. Marsden's emphatic
opinion that the Paper Industry
of the East must shift to the
South. where a new and ever in !
creasing supply is produced ev-i
cry year.
We understand that these gen.
'emen are willing to enter into a
very liberal contract with the
various cane mills of this section,
and we have no doubt that our
planters will do this as it will |,
bring them a certain sure rev.
enue.
There is enough raw and waste
produce in the vicinity of New Il
aeria to supply the largest paper
mill in the country and this is an ;
industry we should have had long 4,
ago. We are indeed eratified I
hat this is almost certainty Il
md by the Fall this plant should I
,e in readiness. Paper is getting II
carcer every day and the price G
S almost prohibitive and every q
Indication that it will remain at y
high figure, hence a plant here I
where there is such an abundance +
# raw product. very reasonable +
abor and excellent transporta-
ion facilities should be a finan. r
ial success from the start. These =
entlemen made a favorable i'm. =,
ression here and before leaving :,
fr. Marsden stated to Mr.. Der. :,
ard that he was well satisfied - =,
nth conditions and he would re. :.
urn here in the near future. ;.
