DEATH OF PROSPERE
ROMERO.

On Monday, June 10Th, the
venerable Mr.. Prospere Romero
a lifelong citizen of the Fifth
Ward Of iberia Parish succumbed
after an illness of a few weeks,
surrounded by devoted members
of his large family. Mr.. Romero
was preceded to the grave by his
wife some two years ago, and
since that regrettable occurrence,
which deprived him of a help
meet, his health began to fail him.
For many years Mr.. Romero rep
resented his Ward as member
of the Police Jury, and often
times his suggestions and advice
relative to Parish affairs resulted
in the adoption of road work that
saved money for the Parish. In
redeeming the Parish from Ne
gro domination such as we had
previous to 1884, there was no
one who took a more prominant
part than the venerable gentle
man whose death we chronicle.
Deceased leaves to mourn his de-
mise five sons and four married
daughters, Messrs. Antoine,
Prospere, Jr., Leonard, Clement
and Felias J. and Mesdames Lastie
Romero, Adeline Dore, Alice
Romero and Arthur Landry. A
short while before his death, Mr..
Romero effected a settlement with
all of his heirs, subdividing his
estate to the satisfaction of all Of
his children. His funeral was
conducted from the Catholic
church in st. Martin parish Oh
Wednesday afternoon in the pres
ence Of hundreds of sympathetic
relatives and friends

LAKE DAUTERIVE OIL AND
DRILLING co.

Another corporation has just
been formed by business men In
New Iberia and Loreauville to be
known as the Lake Dauterive OIL
and Drilling Company, capitalized
at $10000O.0O The company has
possession of the mineral rights
of some twenty-nine hundred
acres of land, situated around
Lake Dauterive and in the vi
entity of the progressive little
village of Loreauyille. 1t is said
parafine in large quantities exist
in that section that surpass the
proven oil fields nearer New fbe-
ria and it is the intention Of this
newly organized corporation to
drill as many wells as their cap
ital will permit as soon as all OF
the stock has been placed. From
what we learn there is much de-
mand for the stock from distant
points in Louisiana and it be-
hooves all Iberians who have
capital to invest to interest them
selves in this enterprise before all
of the stock is subscribed. The
fact that this is a drilling corpora.
ton organized especially to de.
velop the resources Of the Parish
makes it encumbent upon every
citizen who can spare the price OF
a share to encourage the enter
prise. The officers are as follows:
Lazard King, president; DR.. Guy
A. Shaw, vice-president; John E.
secretary and John ID.
Valet, treasurer.

A PLEA FOR MORE FAC
TORIES.

Now that the City election ant
War Registration have been dis
posed of and the Red Cross drive
about accomplished, it occurs Il
us that some thought should be
given to improve local commercial
and industrial conditions.
The question Of expanding
local business and providing en-
ployment for our laboring men
and women must be solved if the
community is to grow and pros
per. The local merchant will
find a healthy increase in his
business when every one in the
community is occupied at some
work but in order to bring about
such a condition opportunity for
work is essential. More factories
and the operation of some now
established here to full working
capacity will provide the want.
The discovery Of oil here has
already done much good, in the
way of giving employment to
many persons and the fact that
some of our local people having
participated in the large sums OF
money distributed locally for OPP
tions and other purposes. The
good oil prospects and generally
promising crops have created
better feeling among those hay
ing capital to invest more freeiT
than has been the case hereto
fore and we should like to see oEr
local people direct their attention
to the matter Of encouraging the
location of manufacturing enter
prises in New liberia. While cap
ital is always the prime necessity
in any business enterprise never
theless the support and co-opera-
ton of every one interested local
ly will produce good results III
the direction indicated.
The location of the paper mill
here, which is now nearing com |
pletion, is the direct result Of
the cooperation Of the business
men of New Iberia, through the
efforts of Mr.. Bernard, Secretary |
of the local Chamber Of Com
merce. This accomplishment alone
is worth a thousand fold its cost |
in money and personal effort put
forth.
The trite saying that eff you
continue striking nail on the
head you will surely DIVE it
through" carries much weight
with us and we should like to see
the New Iberia Chamber Of Com
merce put on renewed activity in
the direction of inauguratirg a
strong campaign for new indus
tries for the community. Some
result is bound to follow such
efforts.

SLACKERS TO BE ARRESTED

This week Sheriff Landry and
District Attorney Vuillemot spent
a couple of days in New Orleans
together with other officers of
the State, called there to consult
with the United States Districy
Attorney for the purpose of get
ing instructions relative to the
arrest of slackers in the different
parishes of Louisiana. 1t is true
in this Parish there were a few
of our people living in distam
places from Post Offices who reg
istered after the general registra
ton day, this being permissible
under the law relative to registra-
ton. We don't think there
is one single case of any one who
failed to register, unless it be
through ignorance only. If any
one is found who has not regis
tered they will be arrested by the
Sheriff and sent to New Orleans
to be tried by the United States
Court. The date of the drawing
has not as yet been set by Con-
gress and each Parish will have
its own Exemption Board who
will have plenipotentiary powers
to exempt all whom they think
should be free of the draft under
the law. In this Parish the Elk
emption Board consists Of Clerk
of Court j. A. Gonsoulin, DIR. E.
S. Fulton and Sheriff Landry.

field county. During the discussion
it developed that quite number of
counties throughout the State have
tried the system and have decided to
do away with it, and let the magis-
trates and constablcs enforce the law.
Really, this is question for people
to think about. l believe the rural
policemen in our county costs us
$27O0 per year. So far as / know
there is no pressing demand from our
county to do away with them.
Ihe insurance question was one of
the biggest questions TO be settled by
this legislature, and think the mat
ter is virtually settlec. A series of
measures have already passed the
house on the insurance question, and
will pass the senate. The governor
will sign these measures, and l think
| can safely predict that the old line
fire companies will in thirty days
again be doing business in the State.
All this troble was caused by radical,
headlong, drastic legislation one year
ago. There is such thing as pass
ing reasonable and sane laws, which
will benefit the people, and there is
another such thing as passing laws
which do the people more harm than
good. This series of insurance acts
is not absolutely perfect, but they will
greatly relieve the situation. l have
given this matter considerable
thought, and l am certainly glad that
the question is settled for the pres
ent, and the laws may be improved
on from year to yea-.
The State highway commission
measure for the Improvement of the
roads, and bringing our State into
line to receive Federal aid is the next
big question before us this week. We
must do something in order to get
the benefit of the government funds,
and it will have to be done at this
session. This is too big a subject for
me to undertake to go into it in a
letter. The house has passed the gen
eral State appropriation bill, and sent
it to the senate. We put the knife
to many proposed appropriations, and
even with all that taxes are going
to be eight mills instead of six and
a half as last year. This is largely
due to the State deficit of 100000 90
arising from last year. The last leg
islatlon just went ahead and made
eXtravagant appropriations, and the
taxes were insufficient to meet the
appropriations, and of course the re-
suit was big deficit
