a;IOse or the Normal school.


The fall term of tie State Nor
NAL School closed Wednesday. We
venture 10 say no term of the insti-
tution has been more successful in
good work, and it is unfortunate
that 8 larger number of students
did not avail themselves of the ex-
cellent advantages furnished them
for receiving solid and beneficial
education. We had the pleasure of
witnessing . portion of the class
examinations, and were agreeably
surprised at the advancement in all
the classes. Those examinations
we heard were Prof. Harris physi-
cal geography class; Mrs. Pomeroy's
rhetoric class; Miss PEBBLES music
class; Mas Bnchanan's caIisthenic
exercises, and Miss Murdock's mod
ell department. Miss Murdock's
class of little folks have made
splendid progress, and the disci-
pline was excellent. They are a
credit TO themselves and to her.
Miss Buchanan's calisthenic drill
was mere thorough than any we
had heretofore witnessed, and all
went as smoothly as clock wsrk.
This exercise is not only very use
full but beautiful. The examiua-
lions of the classes of the other
three teachers named were very
thorough and highly satisfactory.
The student, without any special
preparation for the occasion, was
given q topic, or called upon the
foOr and closely questioned in the
work OF the respective branches.
Those who know say Miss PEBBLES
IL . very capable teacher, and this
must be the conclusion after wit
Messing her examinations and hear
lug those who have been under her
training, sing. The examination of
Prof. Harris class in physical geog-
raphy was very interesting, and
the enthusiasm of the students, in
this important branch of study, as
well a. their prompt and satisfac-
tory answers to questions, showed
that he is q teacher of high qualifi-
cations. Without intending to
praise one of these worthy teachers
above another, we will simply say
that Mrs. Pomeroy's rhetoric class
passed the finest examination we
have ever witnessed at the Normal.
This was due, not only to the abili-
ty of the teacher, but to the hard
work aud devotion of each and ev-
cry member OF the class. They all
did we'll, and both teacher and stu
dents can we'll feel proud of their
record on examination day.
The term social was held Tues
day night. 1t was one of the most
largely attended and successful
ones ever held in the new building.
There was literary contest, in
which Miss Gillams was pronounce
ed the victor, and was presented
with q book by Prof. Psmery. Miss
PEBBLES entertained the audience
with . song, and there was also
some fine singing by the students.
These, with promenading and talk
ing, occupied the evening in the
most pleasant manner.

they would, nevertheless, attain their
purpose by the suppression of large
Republican vote. In pursuance of
this plan, five of the parishes selected
in which the greatest violence and in
timIdation Were practiced, were East
and West Feliciana, which border up
on that portion OF Mississippi In which
murder and outrage SO prevailed dur
ing and preceding the election as SUBJ
sLantially TO prevent any Republican
vote; East Baton Rouge, which bor-
ders on the southern portion of East
Feliciana; MOrehouse, which adioias
the State OF Arkansas, and Ouachits,
which adjoins and lies directly south
of MOrehouse. The geographical po-
sition of these five parishes was well
suited to the purpose to be attained,
for it was easy for members of clubs
to be formed therein, and who usually
perpetrated their outrages with masked
faces, 10 pretend that they were com.
mitted by border ruffians from Miss
issippi and Arkansas, where like ONT
RACES had been perpetrated. The To-
cation OF these five parishes was not.
however, better suited TO the plan TO
be accomplished than was the great
dispropOrtion existing therein between

tiers. The former number but 5,134,
the latter 1924, q majority OF the
latter equal to more than one-third of
the entire majority OF the colored vo-
tiers ia fitty-seven parishes of the
State. The returns of votes actually
cast in these five parishes suggest that
the clubs 70 whom was assigned the
task of securing Democratic maiori-
ties therein, had performed this work
of Intimidation and violence effectual-

Coult- House.
Judge Settle, Republican candidate
for Governor OF North Carolina, wits

Democrats from addressing the citi-
zens of his native town, Charlotte.
Hon. Jouathan Norcross, Repuo-
lican nominee for Governor of Geor-
gia, was compelled to desist from
speaking at assmeeting iii Au
gusta, owing to the interruptions and
misconduct of Democratic rowdies.
A Republican club which raised IL
flag pole at Stony Hollow, New \ DIRK,
was attacked 10y Democrats, who
pulled the pole down. Several shots
were fred and stones freely used. A
few members of the club were hurt
one Democrat killed, another ser
iously SHOT, several Others injured
and two women shot in the face.
Democrats frequently insulted the
speakers and interrupted the proceed
ings of a Republican meeting ad
dressed by Mr.. Packard aud Others
at Clint0n, La.
Similar exhibitions of rOwdyisn
occurred at Bastrop and Monroe, ant
ut the latter place the meeting
grounds were sprinkled with cayenne
pepper to annoy and distress the au
dience and the speakers.

no reasonable doubt can be enter

The two wings of the Republican
party ia ST. James have nominated
parochial tickets, neither of which re-
feet any credit upon the sponsors or
the cause which they profess to serve.
We are pleased to learn that move

that can be supported and advocated
by Republicans without the humilia-

petent and mediocre officials upon the

We approve the suggestion of the
Bastrop Republican that the Repub-
lean State committee should have
Hon. VIM. NJ. Burwell's letter of ac-
ceptance printed in pamphlet form
aud circulated as campaign docu-
ment. 1t is replete with sound
and convincing argument why the
Republican party should he continued
in power, and why the policy of De-
macracy is entirely antagonistic to
the best interests of Louisiana and
the country generally.
