1t must not be overlooked that
Lafayette is one of the three
smallest parishes in the State,
and that it is quite a distinction
for it to stand tenth on the list.
It is certainly worthy Of note
that in number Of farms it ex
ceeds Calcasieu, VermiliOn and
other big parishes. 1t proves
that the land here is pretty
equally divided and that people
who work the soil own their
homes. It is most healthy
condition, and one which is to be
envied by every progressive
community. Small landowners
are the mainstay Of the country,
while the ownership of great
tracts of land has tendency to
create the two extremes in So
ciety-the very rich and the
very poOr-a condition which is
always deplorable. Large planta-
tons are not only not conducive
to the prosperity of the people,
but they are a serious obstacle
in the way of the material and
intellectual development of COM
munities.
But Lafayette not only fares
we'll in the number of farms.
Despite its comparatively di-
minutive area it is the fifteenth
parish in values of land and i'm
provements Except buildings),
this item reaching the sum of
50, S51 900.
In live stock values Lafayette
has reason to be proud of its
record. The following figures
show the ten HIGHEST marshes.

lAfAYETTE'S SHOWING.
Not Large in Area, but
Among the First in
Wealth and Industry.

After Orleans and st. John
Lafayette is the smallest parish
in the State. Though poor in
area it is rich in the things
which make up solid wealth.
In proportion to area this par
ish has the largest number of
farms in the State. OF the sixty
parishes in Louisiana it is tenth
on the list. In this respect it is
far ahead of parishes which have
two and three times it's area.
The following figures, showing
the ten parishes which contain
the greatest proportion of farms,
are taken from bulletin No. 227
of the twelfth census, a copy of
which has been sent to The 6 a
zette by the census bureau:

POLICE JURY.
Regular Meeting--E Election
for School Tax Ordered
in First Ward
Other Important
Business.

The Police Jury met last
Thursday with all the members
present.
A committee of citizens from
the various wards of the parish
headed by Judge Julian MOutOn.
Col. @. A. Breaux, Alex Del
hOmme, ST., G. G. Brown, A.
Judice and others waited upon
the Jury and urged increased
appropriations for the public
schools. The object Of the
movement was to secure an ap-
preparation of eight thousand
dollars perannum for the schools.
The Jury while not pledging any
definite amount adopted resolu
ton responsive to the petition,
promising to make as large an
appropriation as will be consis-
tent with proper administers
ton of the public business. The
amount allowed would be COM
mensurate with the ability of
the Jury to grant.
Agreeable to a petition of tax
payers of the first ward the Jury
ordered a special election Dec 1,
to take the sense of the citizens
on the question of levying
special tax Of Il mills on the dol
lar to be applied for school pur-
poses in that ward.
On petition of the citizens of
the 4th ward the Jury took &C
ton looking to the reOpening of
the public road on the property
of Mr.. Alb. Laurent, abandoned
at last meeting. 1t appears
that contrary to representations
made before the Jury the road is
of great public utility and its
abandonment has inflicted much
hardship upon the people directly
interested. Mr.. Laurent has
consented to reopen the road
until such time as the Jury shall
definitely ascertain it's exact
status.
The following committee was
appointed to estimate the prob
able expenses Of the parish for
1908 and to effect a settlement
with the treasurer: Messrs.
Liable. Mouton, Buchanan, Whit
tington and Greig
The treasurer's reports showed
balances: special road fund,
S1O92. IS: general fund, $192.47.
After approval of accounts the
Jury adjourned.

The Grand Jury made the fol

IN hipheSt pariSheS:

In considering Lafayette's
status in the foregoing column,
the reader must not forget that
there are sixty parishes in the
State and that Lafayette is, in
size, one of the baby parishes
but fine, lusty, virile infant it
is.
Lafayette makes a good show
ing in value of products not fed
to live Stock'-$1,4 400, 472-
seventeenth in the race.
In expenditures for labor it is
way down-No. 80. It pays for
labor only $4,000. AS strange
as this may seem, it is a good
sign. 1t is explained by the large
number of small farms, worked
in most cases. by their owners.
This system is UNNECESSARILY
better than the one which pre-
walls in the sugar parishes.
ST. Mary has 1S4, 1876 acres in
farms All this land is divided
into 600 farms. Lafayette has
1874, 921 acres in farms. It's
number of farms is 3,OSS.

Mr.. Alcide JUDGE was chosen
chairman.
The following gentlemen were
appointed on committee to ap-
pear before the Police Jury, then
in session at the courthouse:
Alcide Judice, NJ. Billeaud, ST.,
J. o. Broussard, G. G. Brown,
Julian Mouton, Gus A. Breaux.
Messrs. Breaux, Mouton and
JUDGE, acted as spokesman for
the com mittee, and stated briefly
the sense and object of the
meeting. The speakers made
forceful appeals to the Jury to in
crease the school appropriation.
The Jury assured the COM
mittee that it would do all in it's
power to give more money for
educational purposes. President
Billeaud and Mr.. F. G. Mouton
spoke on behalf of the Jury. Mr..
Mouton said the Jury had al
ways done all it could for the
schools and could be depended
upon to always do it's best, but
he would like to know what the
City Council of the town of La
fayette was doing for the schools.
He said that SO far the Council
had done nothing.
After appearing before the
Jury the committee held another
meeting in the City hall, where
permanent organization to pro-
mote the cause of public educa-
ton was effected with Alcide
Judice as president and L. j.
Allenan as secretary. The
name CT the Organiza ton will be
the Educational Association of
Lafayette Parish.' It's object
is to work for public education.
1t will meet on the day that the
Police Jury will hold it's next
regular session.
Before adjourning Mr.. Ale
man made some pertinent re-
marks and Mr.. Judice made one
of his characteristic talks. Mr..
Judice said a lot of good things
and it is a pity there were not
more people present to hear
what he said. Mr.. JUDGE has a
way peculiarly his own to dis
cusS the need of improved school
facilities. He gives powerful
reasons for vigorous and con-
certed action on the part of the
people. The committee could
not have selected a better man
to serve as president. He not
only believes in talking for
schools, but he is intensely in
earnest. He believes in doing
things. He is an advocate of
the strenuous life-not in the
prosecution of war like Roose-
Welt, but in the arts of peace.
| The city hall meeting was one
of the finest demonstrations
ever made in this parish for
better educational facilities. 1t
is evidence of the most conclusive
kind that the cause of education
in Lafayette parish is making

FIVE NEGROES DO THE JOB
Victim is Covered With Pair OF Re-
VOlvers-Police
News.

George Hushman, who lives at
Fifth avenue and Seventh street, hid
experience with highwaymen last
Saturday night that he will not soon
forget. Incidentally he was relieved
of his watch and Go cents in cash.
He was going home near midnight,
when at Eighth street and Fifth ave
nue. he saw standing on the sidewalk
before him a party of five negroes.
Thinking of no harm he walked on
and the bunch parted, as he supposed
to let him pass. As he did SO he was
grabbed by the shoulder from behind.
Turning to the right he looked into
the muzzle of a revolver.
Not relishing the sight he turned
the other way only to feel the cold
barrel of another gun against his left
temple. Under the circumstances he
thought it best to capitulate.
After going through his clothing
the five .scampered away in the dark
ness and have not been captured.
The watch was gold filled and worth
about $50.
Other Police News.
Arthur Parks reported last evening
that his bicycle had been stolen from
the corner of Seventh avenue and
Fcurteenth-and-a-h street. The
machine was later found in the same
locality.
There was trouble in Shantyboat
town in the west end of the city last
night and shortly after midnight the
patrol wagon was called to the vi
cinity of the abattoir where Ed Full
Ter, Ed Gillapp and Fred Foster were
separated from melee and brought
to the station. They furnished Sc
curity to appear this evening for
trial.
Robert Kane, of Black Hawk, re
ported last evening that his horse and
cart had disappeared from where the
outfit had been hitched at Ninth
street and Eleventh avenue. Nothing
being heard of the matter today the
presumption was that the property
George w. Simpson was fined SIS
by Magistrate Johnson this afternoon
for a breach of the peace, the com
planning witness being Mabel Orr.
