Outside OF Parish, So 90 Per Annum

drainage board has to be fully per-
fected In order to drain a certain
strip of land near the Island. This
particular section of highway is
always in a bad condition and
without first-class drainage it
would be utterly useless to place
any gravel upon it. The members
Of the Chamber of Commerce then
called upon Engineer Frantz who
is making survey of the Dol
cambre highway which will De
submitted to the State Engineers.
Mr.. Frantz displayed the map
and stated that the weather had
so interfered with his work that
Z '~orld take several days yet be-
fore it could be finished This
highway is to be built under the
supervision of the State Deparf-
ment who have agreed to donate
one-half Of its cost. As soon as
the, map is completed, the State
authorities will get busy on the
highway. We understand with
the State s appropriation there
will be upwards Of $100,000.00 for
its. construction and probably
100000 can be reserved as a
maintenance fund.

PUBLIC ROADS.

At the meeting of the Police
Jury last Wednesday appeared a
strong committee, members of the
New Iberia Chamber of Com
merce. These gentlemen were IN
search of information concerning
the gravel highways to be con-
structed over the main roads of
the Parish. They were very
cordially received by the members
of the Jury and President A. a.
Theriot explained the true con-
ditions and the reasons for the
apparent delay, so far. in connec-
ton with the work. The real
reason for the delay since all of
the bonds have been sold is the
fact that some Of the Board Of
Road Supervisors having the
work in charge have been unable
to get gravel. Secretary Basin
stated that the owners of the
gravel pits even failed to answer
communications demanding ship
ments. This is a deplorable con-
dition. and one that will work a
hardship upon our country citi-
zens who must have highways to
enable them to haul their produ ITS
to the market. Insofar as the
Sixth Ward Board Of Road Super
visors is concerned the Board had
started on some Of the roads and
after spending CONSIDERABLE
sum. grading and draining theI
highway leading from New Ibe-
ria on Center Street had to dis
charge their hands because of the
inclement weather and shortage
Of road material. President
Theriot of the Police Jury has
invited them to meet In New fbe-
ria this afternoon with the mem
bers of the Chamber Of Commerce
to see if it is not within their
province to send some one to the
gravel pits to maize future pur-
chases. Tt is thought that only
in this way can they get the ma
terial to proceed with the work.
The question Of building the high
way to Delcambre was also dis
eussed in detail and the members
Of the Chamber of Commerce are
more than anxious to see this par
ticular piece of road completed,
so that the trade Of Jefferson Is
land, and Salt Mine could be d.
verified to New iberia instead of
Abbeville where it is now going.
One of the reasons given for the.
delav of this road is because :.

ARMENIAN RELIEF.

On Wednesday Of this week al
jackson, Miss. occurred a con.
ference made up of Louisianians
and Mississippians. with a sprink-
ling of delegates from Chicago
and other points in the East for
the purpose Of taking steps to put
on drive in this country to raise
$3.50, 900, 100000 for the poor suffer
ing humanity in Armenia. The
Enterprise was represented at the
conference by Mr.. Jules E. Dupuy
who returned home on Thursday
night. Our reporter informed us
that there were about sixty dele-
gates present and that the meei-
ing was a great succ ess. Mr..
Chas. II. Currens and Mr.. Brock
enshire addressed the audience
which was intersperced with pie
ture slides showing the true con-
ditions in that war ravished
country. Thousands upon thou
sands Of people actually starving
to death and the loss Of life this
very winter will run into the mil
lions. The drive and the money
realized will be in charge of some
of the most representative Amer
leans and it behooves those who

munity to give freely to this wor-
thy cause.

SO many of the voters of the
Parish being of the opinion that
in choosing a Senator that they
have the prerogative of voting
for one candidate, even though
two is to be elected, we are again
calling attention to the State
primary law, which makes it en-
cumbent upon every voter to cast
a ballot for two, for the reason
that two must be chosen out from
the three candidates in the run
ming. The District is entitled to
two representatives in the higher
branch of the General Assembly
and two must be elected. The
gentlemen aspiring to the posi-
tons of trust are our own fellow
citizen Judge Ventress j. Smith,
Mr.. J. L. Domengeaux, of Lafay-
cite and Mr.. E. T.. Simmons of st.
Martin. The two latter were men,
bers Of the Senate during the
last two sittings Of that law-mak-
ing Body. The voters of Iberia
Parish should bend every effort
to see that Judge Smith secure
the full vote of the Parish. We
are entitled to representation in
that Body and as both Of the other
parishes had representation dur
ing the preceding term. it is time
now that either Lafayette or st.
Martin give Iberia representa-
ton.

I Pardon or Parole for
Last of Rawlings Boys
Is Sought by Attorney

What may be the last chapter in
the famous Rawlings case, which
created a great sensation a dozen
years ago when a father and three
sons, together with a negro, were
charged with the murder of the two
Carter children at Valdosta, was
written Monday morning in the gov
errors office when John r. Cooper,
of Maon, appeared before Governor
Dorsey to ask for a pardon or parole
for Milton Rawlings, who is SERVING
a life sentence.
The elder Rawlings was hanged
for the crime and with him the ne
gro charged with participating in
the murder. Three Rawlings boys
were sentenced to life terms in the
penitentiary. Two have been par
doned. Milton Rawlings S, the last
one of the four. He has appealed
several tines for executive clemency,
but has never obtained it.
Attorney Cooper in his argumen;
to Governor Dorsey Monday mornin@
made the statement that the appeal
in the present instance is not op-
posed, but, on the contrary, is sup
ported by several parties who had
heretofore opposed executive clemen-
CIV for any of the Rawlings boys.
THE governors decision in the case
will be announced later,

Drinks Corn at Dance;
Thinks Himself Blind
When Lights Go Out

Many Atlantians are reported to
have signed the pledge since the
wood alcohol scare swept the coun-
try, but none swore off under more
startling circumstances than did a
certain welI-known young man dur
ing holiday week.
Attending a dance, he had fortified
himself with number of drinks, it
is said and also "sat OUT several
dances in the gentleman's dressing
room, where he again imbibed. He
was not sure of the quality of the
liquor, but decided to take a chance"
praying that it was free from the
blind DEATH
Shortly thereafter he was pranc-
ing around the ballroom floor, when
some practical joker turned out the
lights. And then, above the laughter
and the calls for light, there rose
terrible voice.
My God! I'm blind! I'm blind!'
A SILVER of horror struck every
heart while the voice walled on, I'm
blind! I'm blind!'
And when the lights came on again
and the young Albanian was discov-
cred groveling on his hands and knees
in the middle of the floor lot of
people roared with laughter and a
lot of people kidded him, but he did
not smile himself. Instead, with
lifted hand, be took an oath:
"Never again."

GAMBLER OPPOSED
TO SCRAPPING OF
ABBA. RAILROAD

That the scrapping of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railroad is
not to be conceived as remote pos
sibility, owing to the fact that there
is a great public interest involved,
was the opinion expressed Monday by
Charles Murphey Gambler, chairman
Of the railroad commission, in dis
cusston of the recent disclosures that
a movement was on foot by certain
dissatisfied bond holders of the
property. ~
AS Chairman Gambler explained,
there are only two ways by which
authority can be obtained to scrap
a railroad. One is by a surrender of
charter granted by the legislature
and the other is by a court order
The railroad commission of Georgia
is not authorized by the legislature
to surrender railroad charters and
authorize dismantling of railroad
property. The courts have author
ity to foreclose mortgages on rail
roads and order such property sold
either with or without the proviso
that operation must continue
In the case Of the Atlanta, Biz
mingham and Atlantic railroad, Chair
maa Gambler does not believe any
court would scrap it, because he does
not believe e would be possible to
make to an court a showing to JUS
tify such procedure.
1.-THE discussion in the newspapers
of the probability or possibility of
dismantling and junking of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road" said Mr.. Gambler, sis unwise
and calculated to work great harm
to the numerous towns and communi-
ties served by the road. Such spec
ulat1ons will deter or entirely pre-
vent ne N investments and develop
ments, Id will tend to arrest the
growth industrial enterprises al
ready established.
MORE
"Dismantling and discontinuanCe
Of the business of a common carrier
IS possible, under due process of law
and under the proper jurisdiction, but
in this case I cannot think such is
remotely probable. Creditors such as
bond holders have their rights anr
remedies, as they ought to have, but
in enforcing them no court, in the
exercise of a wise discretion, is going
to disregard the fact that credits
were extended with full knowledge of
the fact that the physical properties
involved had been dedicated to the
public use and that the public there
fore has a vital interest and force
fui voice in their operation or final
disposition.
81 cannot for a moment entertain
the thought that any court is going
to direct the abandonment of 900
miles of railroad dedicated to the
public use except under an extreme
emergency or absolutely unavofd-
able circums tances. The court will
be bound to consider public as we'll
as private interests, especially when
private interests involved themselves

SENATOR MOSES IS
ANXIOUS To PROBE:
PRIMARIES IN SOUTH

Senator George H. Moses, of New
Hampshire, author of the senate res
olution providing for a joint COM
mittee of the house and senate to in
vestigate election laws of the sew
eral states for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether any Of them restrict
the suffrage of citizens in violation
of the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution, was in Atlanta
Saturday as a member of the joint
committee investigating salaries paid
the men in the different branches Of
the postal service,
Senator Moses was asked. to dis
cuss his resolution and readily con-
scented. He said it was not the pur-
pose of the proposed tuvesttgat ton=to
bring about federal interference in
state elections, but it was contem-
plated that election laws in certain
states-the southern states, for ex
ampIe-might have a bearing upon
the number Of representatives in the
national house apportioned to those
states, and upon the number of rep
resentatives their votes in the cleo
toral college.
Southern senator's led by Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, are plan
ming a fight to the finish against the
moses resolution. They look upon
it as another attempt in new dis
guise to bring about federal inter
ference in state elections in the
south. Senator Smith is member
of the subcommittee of the judiciary
committee to which the resolution
was referred. He will fight it there
and at every other turn. All of the
southern senators are very much
opposed to it. Hence the views of
Senator Moses as to what are the
purposes of his proposed investiga-
ton of state election laws are mat
ter of interest not only here but in
other southern states

MAN IN FEDERAL
PEN HERE WOOED
'"NNTyWUN7'W

NEW YORK. Richard F.
member of a prominent "
family, Yale graduate, ,apA
about town." could furnish SON
teresting copy for the women's mn
azines, if he, in his cell in an "A
Ianta (Ga.) Jail could be induced To
write on the subject: "a Wife, How
to Pick Her, Woo Her and Win Her" Z
This is apparent from the detailS1
Of the annulment suit filed by Mrs
Irene Price, pretty, %, and dish
stoned, and from her statements
regard to the man she married.
Mrs. Price gives seven reg
for not wanting her marrial
count.
The first four reasons-fQ
ious wives whom Price fd
divorce before he married
was a widow; No. 2 was AIN
No. 3, a stenographer, and "
Violinist.
The fifth reason--Price told 49,
was an unsophisticated girl just
out of a convent when Price met
her and wooed her, while he was
50 years old in years, but much
younger in ardor and appearance.
The sixth reason-Price told her
that he was a fiction writer and
$4,000 was to be her yearly allot-
ment for pin money. The only fic-
ton he wrote, Mrs. Price says, was,
his letters to her, while the money
he gave her wouldn't buy many pins.
The seventh reason-Price is now
serving a sentence in Atlanta Ca,
for defrauding the government;
served sentences on BlackwelPs ls-
land, and another at Sing Sing.
