The Same Trouble.

The following item from the
Opelousas Clarion will go to show
that Lafayette is not the only town
that is meeting with difficulties in
trying to secure system of water
works and electric lights. Our
neighbors in Opelousas have already
encountered several obstacles in
their efforts to procure these much
needed improvements. The Clar-
ion says:
Again there is a hitch in the
erection of our waterworks and
electric lights system. There must
be some evil spirit working against
OpelOusas and her interests. This
is the second time that she actually
contracted for waterworks, and yet
it now seems that a third contract
with another party will be neces-
sary.
The hitch this time is that Mr..
B. F. Rounds, the successful bidder
for the contract, has not yet APP
peared to furnish his bond although
the thirty days given him in which
to do so have expired. But this
will only cause delay, as the people
are determined to have waterworks.

few minutes he would have been
allowed to enter the other booth
which was provided with an official
stamp; that using said pencil rub
Der in the absence of the official
stamp caused no injury to plaintiffs,
nor did it deprive any one of his
right to vote, and the voice of the
people was heard.
"Respondents further aver:
That they have been Informed and
therefore charge that the object
and purpose of the officers in pro-
curing two instead of only one
booth was because there is only
one voting precinct established by
law in said town of Lafayette; that
with only one precinct where the
registration showed a large increase
of voters, the time required with
only one booth night not be suffi
cient, especially with an Industrious
population the most of whom could
only give but limited time to
exercise their suffrage, to receive
all the votes, and thus some would
be deprived of this most inestima
bic Prerogative; the object in view
was in favor. of full expression of
the popular will; that this arrange
ment secured the exercise of the
right of suffrage to all, caused no
injury to plaintiffs or any voter,
but on the contrary better secured
the rights of the people.
"Respondents further aver: That
they have been elected at said cleo
ton by the people legally voting,
returned as such according to law
and duly commissioned and quail
fed.
"Wherefore, premises considered,
respondents respectfully pray that
plaintiffs demand be hence rejected
with costs; and that the illegal
votes cast for said plaintiffs as
above stated be rejected and your
respondents declared duly elected
and quoted in the possession of
their Offices of Mayor and Council
men respectively, at costs of plain
tiffs."

Conquered - WashingtOn's Nine
Win by Three Points.

The game of base ball played last Sunday
evening at the Oak Avenue Park, between
the Washington team and the Dixies of La
fayette, was exciting and interesting con-
test from start to finish, the result being
doubtful until the last man was called out
by the umpire.
In spite of the costly errors made by the
Dixies, victory seemed to be theirs in the
ninth inning, but the score was tied only.
The tenth inning played decided the game
in favor of Washington.
Considerable excitement prevailed during
the tenth inning. the rooters and grand
stand cheering encouraging the boys to
win. The visitors, however, could not be
downed.
About 200 people were in attendance
among whom were number OF ladies
showing decided interest in the game. The
players and the score follow:

Croquet is once more becoming
quite popular in Carencro.
The long, shady lane north east
of town affords delightful driving
and is without doubt one of the
finest roads in the country. This
road was graded and improved by
Mr.. Sicily who has proven himself
an expert in that line of work. He
has no superior anywhere. Taken
as whole the sixth ward has ex
cellent roads.
Work has commenced on the
plant of the Carencro Union Gin
merry Co. The outfit will be COM
pletely overhauled and improved.
-Four new 7o-saw gins will replace
the smaller ones formerly used,
greatly increasing the ginning ca
pacity. The cotton storage house
will be enlarged, giving plenty
room for the seed cotton. A large
substantial shed will be built, af-
fording shelter for some eighteen
wagons during bad weather.
1t is rumored that several of our

The Carencro Brass Band and

A number of ladies visited the

Vacant lots in Carencro are gen
