The HERALD's London, correspondent
writes -
The annals Of the British navy ana
army are replete with thrilling instances
of men who since August 4, 1914. have
looked death in tia face and come out
unscathed.
Hidden away in the dry official ian
guage of n report on British sub
marines cruise is a story of experiences
stirring the soul of any man. 1t is an
account of how the little slip was hunted,
and hunted vigorously, and of what the
crew went through more than one hun
dred feet below the waves,
The submarine coming to the surfsce
in the course of her voyage in the North
Sea sighted number Of fast craft in
cluding several destroyers, near her. So
close were the hunters that the submarine
had to dive at the greatest speed. In
endearoring TO straishten ont the COM
mander found that his helm had jammed.
Barely had this discovery been made
than a violent explosion, apparently
caused by depth charge from one Of the
surface craft shook the vessel. The con

4An unfortunate accident took
place last Sunday afternoon when
a negro boy was horribly mangled
by an east bound passenger train
near the Tower House west Of the
Southern Pacific depot. The boy s
leg was almost lacerated to a pulp
besides suffered other injuries.
Despite the medical attention CIV
en-, he expired several hours after
the deplorable accident. Until the
Southern Pacific establishes gates
on the crossings above the depot
these accidents will continue as
therefore,. With so MANY trains
going each way every half hour
there is no doubt other accidents
will continue to occur on those two
crossings. Gates should be erected
at both places as we stated several
times within the past three years.
With SO many women and chill
dren crossing the tracks in that
and so many trains COM
ing in and out to the depot it is
surprising that more accidents
does not occur at these points.

Dur attention was called this
week to the Objectionable practice
OF certain people splitting on the
sidewalks contrary to the City
Ordinances. Expectoration is
conducive to spreading germs Of
many kinds and with so many
people suffering from colds and
influenza more attention should
De given to the enforcement of the
ordinances relative thereto. The
practice is one that is detestib!e
and 1t would be well for the Off
GERS to remind those who persist
IN expectorating on the sidewalks
that 1T Just as easy to step to the
curb and spit in the streets as it
Is to cover the sidewalks with dis
ease breeding germs. We have
no desire to have any one fined or
imprisoned for this offense unless
they persist in violating the law.
On the other hand there is moth
ing more disgusting than to walk
up, and down the streets every
morning and see persons who
should know better, expectorat-
ing on Ne sidewalks, irrespective
OF its consequences.

man who disappeared from her
bone here about fifteen days aga
with disarranged mind as a
consequence Of the Influenza was
found drowned last Sunday even
ing. Her remains had drifted as
far down the Teche as the Liette-
meyer place and from what We
could learn negro boy discov-
cred it while crossing the stream
in "a small boat. At first he
thought the remains was that Of
dead hog and took his paddle
and raised it partly out Of the
water. When he discovered it
was that of a human being he i'm
mediately made it known and the
remains were taken out and
brought to the Broussard Under
taking Co. for burial. The fol-
lowing day the unfortunate wo-
man was given a church burial
which was overfowingly attended
by the colored population. The
woman bore an excellent reputas
ton and leaves number Of chill
dren to mourn her.

the New iberia mcr

While the New iberia mcr-
chants are suffering from dull bus
mess owing to the bad roads IN
the Parish it seems in other towns
where there are gravel highways
leading to them there is marked
difference. Only last week four
New Iberia clerks were called TO
Thibodaux to help out in an im-
mense sale which took place there
recently. The employees were
withdrawn temporarily from the
Speciality Store and sent to the
above point to help out the firm
of Heyman, Lewald & Co. All Of
this is due to the many miles Of
gravel roads leading to Thibo-
daux. The more unpleasant the
weather the greater the amount Of
business is done there because II
is during the inclement weather
that the farmers go to town to
make their purchases. Good
roads mean more business and bet
ter opportunities and convenien-
ces to get to a trading center and
we certainly hope a decided
change will soon take place in our
Parish. The roads are needed
by everybody and every citizen
who resides in the rural sections
ought now. since the roads are in
their present shape, realize the
great advantage of having a gravel
road leading to the place where ne
has to travel TO the Parish seat.

Prof. Lloyd Porter the former
principal Of the Live Oak School
assumed new functions in connec-
| ton with educational work in this
Parish on February LIST when he
accepted the position as assistant
Superintendent of Education uu-
der Supt. i. R. lilly. With these
two offices filled by enthusiastic
school directors there is no doubt
that the public schools of the Par
ish will soon have larger attend
ance. We understand that it is
the intention Of the Assistant to
organize boys and girls corn. hog
and canning clubs throughout the
Parish. A great deal OF efficient
work along these lines that would
be of everlasting benefit to the
minds of the young people is soon
to be the propaganda Of the School
Board, and in that way every dol
lar spent through the channels OF
the School Board will soon be in
evidence in every part OF the Par
ish. In the northern portion Of
the State and even in some Of the
Southern parishes it is wonderful
the amount of interest the young
people take in agriculture. Lit
erature will be put in every school
house and every means undertake
en- to impress the young minds IN
everything that appertains to the
unbuilding of their respective
reighborhoods.

teats III this City on Wednesday
afternoon, February 18th. At

building from the ground up un-
til he reaches the top of the L. s.

After several pOstponements, d
farewell reception and shower
was held at the Methodist Parse
mage on Wednesday evening, III
honor Of Rev. Martin Hebert and
family. A pleasing feature Of the
" shower" was the areoplane raid
in which numerous bombs in the
shape of bundles were dropped.
Original and humorous rhymes
describing the packages were
read by Miss Louise Taylor after
a short farewell speech by Mr..
Brown. Rev. Hebert has been ap-
pointed by the Louisiana Confer
ence to serve Abbeville in connec-
ton with his French mission work
and will live in Abbeville. 1t is
with regret their friends give
them up. Their admirable quail
ties have gained favor and their
good influence will long be felt in
this community where they have
lived for several years. The best
wishes of a host Of friends go with
them to their new home.

Thursday and Friday were
the first DAYS for several weeks III
which we did not have heavy
downpour Of rain. Our natives
now look forward to a change in
the weather. at least, it is due us
anyway. With the very inclement
weather Of the past there are but
few of our farmers that are not
as much as fifty days behind with
their work. The ground is SO sat
urated with water that it will
take at least month more be-
fore many Of them will be in po-
sition to do their blowing. To
some the situation is critical, but
others look on the bright side and
say that the set back will do but
little harm. AS long as the seed
cane is not affected from the water
there is bright prospects for as
large a cane crop in 1919 as the
past year. Some Of the sugar re-
fineries are still pegging away
working under great disadvant-
ages owing to the bad roads and
serious rains but despite that con-
dition everything around the mills
is moving along nicely.
