Judge r. w. Elliott rendered his
decision in the Peck case last
Saturday, after having taken it I'M
der advisement two weeks ago. Mr..
Peck loses the case and will appeal
to the Court of Appeal. The rea-
son assigned by the court to refuse
the writ of mandamus applied for is
that Mr.. Peck not having had qua
lifted fully. was not properly
equipped. to resort IT, such harsh
measure. The court took occasion
to say that the council had no
authority in law to take away the
tax-collectorship from the consta-
BILE. Judge Elliott did not give a
written Judgment, but read from
notes. This disposes of the matter
until the Court of Appeal shall pass
upon it sometime this fall.

A Graded School.

The question of establishing a
good graded public school IN the
town has for some time occupied
the thoughts of many progressive
citizens and is now a subject of con-
siderable discussion. So far there
seems to be no dispute as to the
need of such an institution and its
advocates have fair sailing until
they reach the highway of How
with Its by-paths. While several
methods have been proposed it is
not the purpose now to consider
them or pass in review their respec-
tive merits but simply to add a word
of encouragement to an enterprise
SO intimately connected with the
prosperity of the town IN whatever
light viewed.
Lafayette cannot afford to lag
now that she has set SO quick pace
in the educational world by securing
the Industrial School and the en-
ployment of competent profess
sional superintendent of schools.
"Excelsior" should be upon the lips
of every person having the welfare
of the community at heart. Good
work has already been done but let
all remember the twentieth century
opens up glorious vistas IN every
department of life and none more
transcendental than in educational
advancement.
If Lafayette can provide a $50,
electric light plant, $4,000 Jail
for criminals and thousands of dol
lars yearly for other purposes does
it seem any way unreasonable that
few thousand dollars should be
expended in providing a suitable
site and buildings for the mainte
nance of a good graded school? Is
it not an imperative duty of the
town to provide for the actual
needs, and comforts of hundreds of
children, future citizens or GRIM
inals, patriots or felons as they may
be nodded? Let US have the school
by all means whatever the cost or
the methods employed to accom-
plish the end.

Mayor Caffery and the entire
City Council will visit Crowley next
Monday to investigate the methods
of that progressive town and in par
ticular, the circumstances attending
the establishment of the new market
house. This is good move and
should be practiced by individuals
as we'll as municipal corporations,
for the result must be broadening
of views and profiting by the sue
cesses as we'll as by the failures of
others. Columbus did the same
and the world knowns the fame he
got and the good he accomplished.
May the gods propitiate the sseas. "

Question Answered,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine IN the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers' never thought of
using anything else for Indigestion
or Biliousness. Doctors we're scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration or
Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the sys-
tenn and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few
doses Of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Get Green's Prize AL

Burglars Made a Raid.

Tuesday night burglars gave an
exhibition of the most daring and
reckless work in Lafayette. They
entered and ransacked several stores
located in one of the Main streets
Of the town. They began at one
end and were not satisfied till they
got to the other, where, probably,
the reception accorded them by
one Of our citizens put a sudden
termination to their depredations.
Luckily their footing was of little
benefit to them, about ten dollars in
all having been stolen.
Gardebled's drug store and the
Lafayette Clothing House were the
first victims; then they came up the
street and broke into Alex Della
houssaye's store and the Lafayette
Drug Company's establishment.
They then visited Tanners. De-
manade's, the Post Office, where
they tailed to break in, and Cum
ningham's. At the last named
place, they received a quietus to
their before uninterrupted robbing.
Ed Higginbotham, who lives in the
rooms adjoining the store. was
awakened by the noise made by
the burglars, and taking pistol he
stepped to the sidewalk. One of the
burglars was evidently keeping guard
for as soon as Mr.. Higginbotham
came out of his room, he leveled
his pistol on him and almost stimuli
taneously shots were exchanged.
Hearing the shooting those in the
store escaped and were fired on by
Mr.. Higginbotham as they ran
away, but it is not supposed that
any Of the shots took effect.
Not clue has been found as to
the identity of the guilty persons

Good Roads Convention.

President Billeaud has in con
formity to a resolution of the Police
July called a Good Roads Conven-
ton to be held at the courthouse,
Thursday August I, at ten o'clock
At this meeting Hon. G. G.. Brown
will preside and it is proposed to
organize a parish association to act
in harmony with the State organiza-
ton and secure uniformity and sys-
tenn In the matter of working public
roads. Reports will be received
from the various wards as to
methods adopted, mileage graded,
and actual condition of roads in
general. Distinguished speakers
have been invited and practical ad-
dresses in French and English will
be made.
The transcendent importance of
good roads need not here be en-
phasized and The Gazette only de-
sires to impress the necessity of
unity of action among the people
in order that the best and most last
ing benefits may be obtained. The
senseless policy SO long pursued
in many parishes, allowing each
ward to work independently and
without regard to what plan adjoin-
ming wards were pursuing has run
its natural course and come to its
timely end. Throwing in a few
shades of earth here and there and
patiently waiting for the evapora-
ton of water in the mud holes may
now very properly be called an
tiquated if not obsolete methods of
maintaining public highways.
