question, and announced his opposition
to withdrawing legal-tender notes and
silver certificates from circulation, or the
stopping of the coinage OF silver. He an
nounced that has opposition TO the Blair
Dill was chiefly based on the fact that
matters OF education were OF local state
concernment only. Texas can educate her
children without taxation II we can ever
have rational management of her re-
sources. His advice To the laboring class
was to use wisely the ballot-box, refrain
ing from violence and lawlessness. That
II the agricultural masses would exert
their strength and take more interest In
pubic affairs, and could receive the
help OF patriotic lawyers who saw the
public danger, all would be well.
He said that should he listen to the
voluntary advice OF some newspaper men
that he would not be found addressing
the people but that he saw no reason
why his aspirations for seat In the
senate should seal his lips; rather they
should be opened that ye may know what
manner Of man In times like these seeks

Work the Roads.

Of the road-overseers to the urgent
necessity Of having the roads work.
ed before it is time for work to be-
gin in the fields. We hear consid-
cradle complaint from different sec
lions throughout the parish about
the bad condition Of the roads
which if attended to now could be
remedied without much time Of lost,
whereas if left alone for several
months it will take considerable
time and work to put them in order.
Especially is this true of the roads
leading from here to Lafayette and
New Iberia. They are in a horrible
condition and no more fitting oppor.
tunity for their repair than the pres.
ent will eve present itself. The
Iberia road at its eastern extremity
is closed, we are Informed, and the
Police Jury should take proper steps
towards opening it, and having it
properly designated as the route is
in dispute. The road from here to
Bartels has been thoroughly worked
and put in turnpike order. Messrs.
Hank Ewing and James Huff, the
energetic and efficient overseers, Of
this road deserve much praise for
their effective manner in which their
duties have been discharged.

The Bridge at Perry's Bridge.

Quite a stir has been visible OF
late in this sleepy little burg. In
fact it may be said that the historic
spot is enjoying-tbanks to the be.
nevolcnce Of our generous Police
Jury--a boom such as never was
known in the long annals of its
troubled existence. After many
years Of anxious, eager longing, the
town is to have a bridge, and be
restored to the proud prestige it
held in ante bellum days.
At first a modest foating bridge
was deemed sufficient 70: the traffic
and convenience Of this aspiring
town, but as the project grew in
favor the wants and imagination of
the projectors waxed in vigor, until
nothing short Of a draw.bridge will
now satisfy their cravings.
This draw-bridge project has as.
sumed proportions that are dear to
the heart of every Perry's Bridger
and they cherish it with a fervor
that is akin 10 idolatry. The bridge
itself | am informed is to be a won
derful production such as the eye Of
mortal mar hath ne'er beheld. This
architectural hybrid will be a cross
between q steamboat stage plank
and a log.carrier in a saw mill, and.
is intended to be quite easy in its
workings, but of this part no one is
positive.
1t may prove a success, Or it may
be q failure, not q total one posi-
bly,, but partially as is the AbbevilIe
bridge. One such bridge in the
parish is enough, in the way Of ex-
penses for repairs.
The floating bridge is known to
he practicable ; the continuance pro
posed to be erected in its stead is 50
only on paper. Bridge building Isl
science aud this parish is not so rich
as To be able to furnish funds for ex.
perimental purposes.
Gaining a foothold in the afec-
tons of our Police Jury the seduc-
tive project is slowly feeling its
power and developing its appetite.
A floating bridge, donated to the
parish free Of expense was the tempt.
ing bait covering the hook which
the Police Jury has swallowed at
one gulp. An appropriation OF $3.50
and all the iron work Of the old Alb
beville bridge strikes me as rather
an extravagant expression of graft
tude on the part of /our Parish "a.
theirs. The question naturally pre-,
sents itself If this gift ~ to be as
expensive to keep in order az the
elegant %rattletrap put up at Able
vile, by the King BriGge Company
would it not be a measure of public
policy to decline it with thanks 2"
The money donated by the Police
jury to aid in constructing this
bridge would open up and bridge the
highly essential road lately traced
from the Cove to town via Guidry's
and everybody knows tina: would be
a success.
Let the Police Jury give US this
road and if the bridge is failure,
we will have something reliable to
fall back on.
