GIVES THANKS TO SUPPORT,
ERS.

In a communication Hon. Henry
Estorge Of st. Landry parish and
recent candidate for Treasurer OF
Louisiana, Notwithstanding his
defeat, requested of us to extend
his thanks and appreciation to the
voters Of the Third District for
the loyal support he received dur
ing the Democratic primary. Mr..
Estorge carried this district over
his opponent by 1921 and had ne
made a more thorough canvas OF
the Northern part of the State
would have been the Democratic
nominee. In other words had the
count given him $500 more ne
would have been elected to the
honorable position of State Treas,
urer. As a token of the esteem in
which he is held in his home Par

THE SENATORSHIP.

Last Sunday the New Orleans
papers, in glaring headlines, an
nounced the entry into the race
for the seat in the Senate now oc-
cupied by Hon. E. j. Gay, the
names Of Ex-Governor Jared Y.
Sanders and Hon. Donaldson CAT
ferry. These two gentlemen are
well known to the voters of Lou
isiana and once the campaign is
under full sway no doubt much
mud-slinging will again be In
dulged in by their ardent advO-
Gates throughout the State.
Within the past month the friends
of Hon. Edwin Broussard of this
City, a brother of the late Sena-
tor Robt. F. Broussard have been
diligently at work endeavOring to
have him throw his hat into the
arena also, and unless we are mis-
taken, Iberia s own son and fell
low-citizen, who possesses all OF
the qualifications to fit him for
that high and exalted position IS
seriously considering laying his
claims before the electorate of the
State. While we do not wish to
convey the impression that Mr..
Broussard is better qualified than
either of the other two gentlemen
who have announced, on the
other hand we know that his
record would be just as brilliant,
and Louisiana 5 interests would'be
represented in the council of the
Nation equally as well as any
other citizen in Louisiana. If
Mr.. Broussard should condescend
to offer his services to the people
of Louisiana, we have no hesitancy
in stating that no better selection
could be made and we feel GER
tain his candidacy will also meet
with the general appreciation Of
the citizens Of this commonwealth.

BEE KEEPER S ASSOCIATION

The Iberia Beekeeper' s AssOcia-
ton was formed at a recent meet
ing of those interested in bee keep
ing within our Parish. Mr.. E. c.
Davis, of the Extension Depart
ment of the Louisiana State Uni
versity with headquarters i'm Ba-
ton Rouge, addressed the as
semblage which promises to be
one of the most interesting bodies
gathered together in the common
cause of bettering conditions in
our Parish.
Mr.. Davis outlined the objects
of the Association which will pro-
mote beekeeping by education, CO.
operation and other efficient
means Of interesting the good
folks of this community in pro-
ducing honey both for home use
and the market.
According to Mr.. Davis, honey
is used for sweetening bap' S
cake and other foo;lstuffs; in fact,
he said, eighty per cent of the
bakers use immense quantities OF
honey and that Iberia was situated
geographically to furnish the mar
kets with large quantities. He
said that the finest grade Of honey
was the white honey Of Louisiana
and that states in the North and
East are especially DESTROYS of Sc
curing much of it.
He advocated Shipping honey in
can containers, two Of which
usually are Grated together and
that the Association could ship in
carload lots to distributing points
and receive therefor top prices.
At the election Of officers G. Q,
Pharr was elected president; S. F.
Hale. vice-president; Camille Pro
vost Of Jeanerette, second vice
president, and Frank Noel, Man
ager of the New Iberia Chamber
of Commerce, was elected secre-
tary and treasurer pro TEN.
Luke l.. Bertrand, Reverend H
n. Brown. L. R. lilly and Mrs. 5
F. Hale addressed the members OF
the Association on different
phases of bee keeping.
Another conference of the body
will be held within a short time
according to Secretary Noel, and
notices will be in the New Iberia
papers in advance.
The new Iberia Chamber OF
Commerce is interesting itself i'll
all phases of agricultural and
farm life for the betterment Of the
entire community. according tc
Mr.. Noel, and it is the intention
of the local chamber to secure
practical assistance from. other
sources.

NEW IBERIA TO HAVE REGU.
LAR TRANSFER SERVICE.

Beginning March LIST, the Teche
Transfer Co., a corporation or
ganized at Jcanerette, in charge
If NJ T. j. Feight, a progressive
citizen Of our sister town, will be-
Gin regular two-hour schedule;
carrying passengers from New
Iberia as far down the Teche as
Morgan City. From what we
learn the Company will have four
large motor buses on the road at
all times for the accommodation
of the public, in fact the service
will he operated just as was the
Trolley line between here and
Jeanerette some years ago. Pas
sengers will be picked up all
along the route, no matter at what
distance they wish to ride. A
line of this kind should be pay
ing investment from the start
and it will in a great measure
bring business to New Iberia.
| With model roads and a good line
of motor buses, a transfer service
such as this corporation intends to
i inaugurate between New Iberia
and our neighboring towns should
be financial success from its In
cipiency. We feel assured prop
erty owners residing along the
model road between the points
+. above mentioned will lend every
encouragement possible to assure
the promoters a success from the
start. 1t will also be great con
vience to the travelling salesmel
who make the territory between
here and Morgan City, affordine
accommodations they do not ge
by using the railroads. New Ibe
ria has been needing just such al
undertaking for several month
and our people owe much to tn
enterprising citizens of Jeanerett
for promoting such an enterprise

THE. ROAD TO THE SEA.

While it is not our intention to
detract from the canal in the least,
as an asset to New iberia, still the
more we give thought to the con-
struction of public road to the
sea as per profiles made some years
ago by the efforts of DIR. W.
F Carstens, through Avery Is
land. the more we are impressed
with its practical feasibility as an
early solution to the road build
ING problem. There are many
others in this community who are
beginning to become advocates OF
the road because in the first place
the work could be done in half the
time it would take to finish the
drainage canal. The road to the
sea would afford quicker trans
portation Of shells for road build
mo purposes and we would have no
trouble in procuring fifteen or
even twenty army trucks with
which to do the hauling. With
the conditions now prevailing,
when so much demand is made for
gravel in the entire South the
most logical solution to the prob
lem of road building is to substi-
tute clam shells. We all know
that these shells make the best
kind of a foundation for high
ways. and even some Of the fore
most road builders in the State are
strong proponents Of shell road
building, under existing clrcum-
stances. Our citizens should bear
this in mind that no matter what
amount of taxes is voted for road
building, at least slXty-flve per
cent has to be expended for rail
road transportation if we are to
buy and use gravel exclusively.
This money that is to be expended
for railroad freight would build,
not only the road to the sea, but
do even more than that finish the
incomplete waterway which IS
now growing up with brush and
willow trees.
With a good shell road to and
through Avery Island line OF
ears could be run to and fro bring
ing in sea food, such as fish and
oysters, making New Iberia the
open market for the cheapest food
on earth. If highway is built
to the salt waters all of the tour
lists sent through New Iberia over
the Old Spanish Trail route, as
well as the Pershing Way will
then stop over in New Iberia to
take advantage of the opportun-
ity to get a dip in real salt water
on the Bay. 1t would not be MANY
months if we had such an outlet
to the sea when capitalists would
erect nice hotel near the beach
and New iberia would get a great
amount of advertising through its
accomplishment.
The gravel pit owners are hold
ing it up to such an exhorbitant
price that it takes millions, in
stead Of thousands to build high
ways in the State of Louisiana
The truth of the matter is thai
they cannot now supply the de
mand. With conditions like thi
holding this important work IL
allegiance if we hope to improv
road conditions in this Parish
this year, we believe, the mos
practical thing to do is to prepar
for shell road construction.

Earthquake in Italy

PISA, Sept. Am earth
quake occurred at 1855 o'clock
this morning. 1t caused some
damage in Pisa and in the neigh
borhood of Spezia, Viareggio,
Massacarrara, Avezzano and
Vigneta.
The earthquake shock here
was preceded by deep rumblings
and followed by vertical and
horizontal earth tremors which
lasted for thirteen seconds.
The population, terror strick-
en-, fled from their homes, the
women and children shouting
and weeping. The squares of
the city soon were filled but a
majority of the people fled to the
fields.
Persons who happened to be
in Cathedral Square in Pisa said
they saw the famous leaning
tower perceptibly oscillate.

bELINGTON'S PICNIC
THE BIGGEST EVER

The streets of Belington were
khronged with a crowd OF prob
ably 1000 people Monday to JOIN
in the picnic and home coming
day. At least 500 automobiles
were parked in various parts OF
the city. The street parade
came off on time, headed by
|Mavor L. L. Bennett, followed
|bv hundreds of members of the
ii. O. @. M, /. o. O. F., M. W. A:
and w. O. w. A number OF
floats were in evidence-the
road machinery of the district,
the Murray Lumber Co.'S trucks
IND scores of automobiles, led
by the Beverly band. The pa,
rade led to the park where well
lflled baskets were unpacked and
the pangs of hunger were sat
listed. The number of baskets
in evidence was proof that the
community idea had been pop
ular with the people.

in charge of chairman j. A:

Judge E. F. Morgan, Judge W.
B. Kittle, Chambers Wilson, j.

ready to answer with stirring
selection The Nestorville choir
gave some very fine numbers In
singing under the leadership OF
A. C. Wilson. "Chame" demon
strated that he could sing as
well as sell goods.
The Mcdaniel children were
also full of the spirit of song
and made a wonderful hit.
Many of the people were loatf
to leave the shades of the NAPLES
and fingered until the shadows
began to lengthen. The cloud;
| looked threatening for a while
and storms broke in other sec
lions but Belington basked al
day in beautiful weather. Mo-
an accident during the day in al
the vast throng, not an arrest OF
even an echo Of disorder. The
day began with the spirit Of
good will and the twilight
shades left the same spirit per
vading every atmosphere.
