The SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY LOCATES
BALLAST BURNING PLANT HERE.
Industry Will Employ Many Men Here Chamber of
Commerce Deserves Credit For Plant.

New Iberia has landed another very
important industry.
For over half a year Mr.. C. A
Barnes, local agent of the Southern
Pacific Company, and President H. w
Carver of the New Iberia Chamber Of
Commerce, together with several 9TH
er gentlemen connected with the local
Commerce organization, have been
working on the officials of the Rail
Road Company to locate one of their
ballast burning plants in this city.
The Chamber of Commerce has
sent its representatives to the Hous-
ton offices of the Southern Pacific
and has also brought the railroad off
cials here repeatedly in the interests
of this big proposition.
After various set-backs, complica-
tions and reversals that would have
disheartened less determined indiv-
iduals, the local enthusiasts have at
last seen their efforts crowned with
success, and the deal consummated.
The Southern Pacific represented
by Mr.. ]. H. r. Parsons, Vice Pres
ident and General Manager, last Fri
day, January 18th, completed the
purchase of an eighty acre tract of
land from Mr.. L. L. Mathews, lying
about three miles below town, extend
ing back from the Company's tracks,
just beyond the lands of the late r.
F. Broussard.
The soil here for a depth of eight
or more feet is what is known as
"Gumbo," being very hard and gum
my. When burnt it makes the very
finest quality of railroad ballast, and
is already in extensive use in the far
western states.
The railroad company will furnish
the land, and put in the necessary
spur tracks throughout the tract, but
the actual work of ballast burning
will be done on contract by Messrs.
Butler Brothers, of Texas.
From the New Iberia pits ballast
will be burnt for all of the Louisiana
trackage, totalling approximately
four hundred miles.
In burning the ballast layer of
coal or Ignite is laid down" then a
layer of the "Gumbo" then more fuel,
and so on. Fire is then lighted, and
the mass is left to burn for thirty or
forty days, when the ballast is ready
for use on the roadbeds. For every
three cars Of ballast made one car
of coal or Ignite is required, making

suming way he states that what he
did was done because he believes in
New iberia, and because he is a mem
Der Of the Chamber Of Commerce, and
as such is pledged to do all in his
power at all times to further the in
terests Of this city. Mr.. Barnes
gives all credit to the Chamber of
Commerce, which no doubt is correct,
for it was as member Of the Board of
Directors that he did this work.
Many times the question is asked,
''What is the Chamber Of Commerce
doing ?" Well, this IS one OF the
many things. They all require time,
and the public never knows until it is
all accomplished.

that the moral. iaw-abiding citizens
OF Scurry county. as well as else

Let II be remembered, as William
pitt has said, that. Where law ends
tyranny begins" The Constitution
and laws OF our country propose to
guarantee to each and every citizen
the security OF life. property and the
pursuit OF happiness. But, under pres
ent conditions. these rights sacred TO
every good citizen. are not and can
not be adequately guaranteed to our
people. Hon. II. NJ. Daugherty. At
torney general OF the U. S., has well
said that. "Our safety and happiness
lies in obedience to law by every man
woman and child within the domain
OF our Republic. and no one can un-
dermine respect for law without be-
ing. to that extent, an enemy to law
and orderly government"
II is both pity and shame that
we find among us, in this so-calied
advanced age OF civilization and re-
flnem emit many people. both men and
women. who pose as being patriotic
Jaw abiding citizens. and In favor OF
enforcing our laws against theft. rob-

this, then. az matter of fact. he is
not law abiding citizen. he is not

Attorney General again where he says

Judge Noble said the other evening
while on his way home he met three
or four young Anglo Saxon's who
were trying to match scrap. One OF
them. who seemed more anxious than
the others and upon inquiry by the
Judge. said he was little cod under
the collar and wanted to "warmup",
and was making fast preparations
along that line. The Judge warned
them about pulling off scraps and
told them that they had better LAY

replied that he was from the North
