On the morning Of the sale Of the
Bigstaff addition Mr.. R. A G hiles
informed Judge Robert H. Winn and
others that in consideration of the
name 'Mary Chiles," his mothers
name, he would start a fund to pur-
chase the Bigstaff residence and adj
joining lots to be used for hos
pita land with assurance of the title
he started the fund with $4,000.
Fifty persons subscribed to the fund
500 each, aggregating a fund of
$1,000, and the property was pur-
chased for the sum of $1,000. Later
the parties back of this movement
purchased of Thomas Mccormick
four 50-foot lots for $500. The en-
tire property it will be seen was
purchased at a cost of 81, 100. Mr..
Chiles then gave an additional 3d.
500, making his gift to this fund,
$4,000, to which was added another
$4,000 from Mr.. Robert Fl. Stock
ton, a former citizen Of Mt. Ster-
ling, and who, during his many
years of residence had not forgot
ten the love of his childhood, and
made the handsome gift. Mr.. Stock
ton was left an orphan of IL years
in 1853 when an epidemic of chol-
era. took away his parents. An uncle
took the 12-year-o old lad away from
Kentucky to his home in st. Louis,
Mo-, where he grew, developed and
prosperod and the $4,000 is just a
token of the real love he has for this
people. Mr.. Stockton is now pres
ident Of the Majestic Stove and
Range Co., of st. Louis, and is one
of the richest men in his adopted
state. Wealthy and generous, kind
and loving when an opportunity
came that he could do good for suf-
fering humanity he did not let it
pass. Our people appreciate the gift
and the motive that prompted it. The
local chapter Red Cross gave an
other $4,000 and from others too
modest to allow their names made
public, gave until $4,000 had
been raised. A Few more hundred
dollars are needed in order to make
the final touches and these amounts

Farm Tariff Bill
Passed by House

Over protests Of defiant minor
ity the House last night adopted the
Fordney Emergency Tariff Bill by
a vote Of 1876 to SO. The vote was
taken at S:45 o'clock after eight
hours Of debate.
It was evident long before the vote
was taken that supporters Of the
measure, designed to protect some
twenty-odd farm products for ten
months period, had the situation
Awell in hand. But Representative
Henry T. Rainey, Democrat. Illinois,
leading the opposition, opened Bit
ter attack which increased in inten-
sity as the debate wore on.
Paragraph by paragraph he as
sailed the measure, while the Re-
publicans with loud roars Of "noes,"
sent his proposed amendments down
to defeat. A few Republicans sup
ported him in his attack but score
of his own party turned from their
traditional stand against a high
tariff to Join the majority.
Opposition speakers charged that
the measure would send the cost Of
living higher, and branded it as a
class legislation. Defenders Of the
bill, on the other hand, sad it would
save the agricultural industry.

the proposed election, scheduled
TO take the sense of the voters last
Wednesday. This is regretted by

hoped that sentiment will vet be
cryStalized to vote a small tax

For many years a number of the

selected was one easily drained

section looked upon the PROPOSE

dorsed the acreage tax, it was the
intention of the people of New
Iberia to build commercial
canal through Petite Bayou that
would have not only drained thou

now almost unfit for use, but re-
claimed many acres that would
have enriched that entire section.

Every year for more than a
quarter of century the Unsec-
tartan Aid Society Of New liberia
has undertaken to assist the poor
and needy, as appeals for succor
have been made known to them.
This Society is now asking our
generous citizens, who can afford
to make donations. either il
money, or the equivalent in dis
carded clothing. or eatables, SO
that they can distribute the same
among the distressed people while
they are badly in need of it. 1t
is useless for us to undertake to
recall some of the work Of this
noble band Of women who have
devoted the greater part of their
lives to this Society. All of our
people are familiar with the charit-
able work done in New iberia by
its members. At no time have
they ever put over a house to

ing to leave this matter solely TO
the generous-hearted citizens
themselves. 1t is the intention
to distribute baskets of edibles to
the poor in the shape of provi-
sions, clothing and toys for the
children during the Yuletide sea-
son, if the citizens will voluntar-
lily send in subscriptions in the
very near future. 1t behooves
those who can afford to send in
money to do so as early as posi-

has the distribution in charge will
be guided accordingly.

The extreme cold weather last
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
completely killed the bud of the
sugar cane crop and it means that
unless the planters and farmers
Immediately windrow, they will
suffer some heavy losses. If warm

crop is not windrowed it will
more than likely mean sour cane.
The farmers generally have not
made much Roadway in getting
