JOE TERRELL KILLED.

On Monday last cablegram
reached New Iberia to the effect
that Mr.. Joe Terrell, a young son
of Mrs. P. Terrell had died from
internal injuries received through
the explosion of boiler in a SUI
gar factory at Preston, Cuba,
where he had only few months
ago accepted employment. Full
particulars of his death has not
reach his parents as yet, though
the message stated that he had
fingered seven hours after the
fatal accident that cost him his
life. The tragic news cast a
gloom of sadness over the people
of this community. Joe was an
exemplary young gentleman and
one and all expressed deep grief
over the misfortune that befell
the young man. From what we
could ascertain, the remains will
be embalmed and brought to Miss
issippi City, Miss. to be inferred
in the family vault. He leaves
a heart broken mother and several
brothers and sisters to mourn him.
Among them are Mr.. James Ter
rell, New Orleans; Eddie Terrell,
Avery Island; Steve Of this City.
Mrs. M. S. Pittman of Oregon
Misses Molly, Katie and Sue of
New Iberia. The Enterprise ex-
tends its heartfelt sympathy to
the bereaved members of the fam
ily.

SUPERINTENDENT OF EDU-
CATION.

1t will be noticed by perusal OF
the minutes of the Parish School
Board which appears in another
column that the members of the
Board of Directors chose Nh.
Lloyd G. Porter as successor t.
the late l.. R. Tilly. Mr.. Porter
had been filling the responsible po-
Bition of assistant Superintendent
of Education for the past fifteen
months, and, with his experisae
as a teacher in our City Schools,
he is well suited to fill the office.
Under his supervision, we sincere
ly believe the schools of the Par
ish could not be in better hands.
Mr.. Porter is an enthusiastic
trained educator, and from the i'm
preston we have formed through
the teachers in this Parish, his ap-
pointment also meets with their
approval.

few producers who gave any
thought to that part Of their added

where at present, it costs the
farmer at least seven dollars per

if we had good roads he could
transport two and One-half tons
for the same money for the same
distance in one-half of the time

it seems to have been proven that
such is true, it surely should be the

After routine business there was
much discussion on subjects of
vital interest to thel community,
among them was the discussion on
a canal from the village to Lake
Dauterive; the opinion prevails
that this can be accomplished with
little effort on the part of all
parties who are interested in hav-
ing the canal built.
A telephone system for the vii
lage was also taken up and the
subject was well thought out and
discussed and we feel assured that
it will be put in by parties who
feel the need of and necessity OF
a phone system.
Good roads came in for its share
of the discussion and the entire
organization is heartily in accord
with any effort that will tend to
assist and promote the completion
of good roads for the entire Par
ish the membership of the organ
ization realize that without good
roads we are at the mercy of the
elements with no redress save,
walking or floating from one point
to another.
The discussion brought out the
fact that, the high cost Of living
could be very materially reduced
if the entire country had good
roads to lesson the cost Of trans
portation.
Transportation enters largely
into the cost of production and
was thought that there were too
