Elfclllcn'S DaN,

F'iremen's day was fittingly
celebrated on the 18th. The
three companies composing the
Lafayette department paraded
through the streets of the town
and concluded the days celebra-
ton by smoker in Falk's Hall.
The cooperation of the excellent
Breaux Bridge Band and the
fire department of that town
added greatly to the success of
the exercises. The Lafayette
hremen appreciate keenly the
of their confrere from
Breaux Bridge. At the conclu-
sion of the celebration at the hall
the Sontag Band and the visiting
musicians treated the people of
the town to some unusually fine

VICTORY
For the Advocates nf t,.
Special Threc-NIilI
School Tax,
BROUSSARO IS THE BANNER POLL.
\ Decisive Majority Both in
Votes and Valuation.

The cause of public education
in Lafayette parish has won an
other great victory. The pro.
position to levy three-Iniu tax
Tor SIX years for school purposes
has been carried by handsome
majority. In some of the wards
there was considerable Opposi-
ton, but this was more than
overcome by the popularity of
the measure in other wards.
Altogether, it was a signal vic
tory. The vote shows that the
people of Lafayette parish are
almost unanimous on this uues-
ton. Many Of the votes regis
tered against the tax. should
not be accepted as an expression
lnlmical to public education, for
there are good men who voted
in the negative because thew
believed that school taxes should
be carried separately by wards.
1t Is safe to say that no con-
siderable umber voted against
the tax because they are opposed
to the improvement of the
schools. The apparent lack
Of unanimity is explained by a
difference of opinion as to the ]
advisa bility of making the tax
parish or a ward measure.
The Gazette believes that this
fact will be shown by the t
support which all O
friends Of the cause will now
rive to the authorities to make
his movement productive of the a
argest possible results. t,

Will give concert in the auditO
rum OF the Industrial Institute
In which number of his pupils
will participate. Prof. Sontao
has worked hard to develop the
musical talent of this cOmmu
nifty, and though he has TAUGHT
music here a comparatively
short time those who know his
ability as teacher will not be
surprised at the great progress
made by his pupils. He has de-
clded to give an annual concert
thus affording to the public an
opportunity to enjoy an enter
tainment of unquestioned merit
and to see that Lafayette pos
sesses its share of musical
talent which only needs compe-
tent instruction to make itself
known. The selection of the fol- |
lowing program and the degree
OF preparation necessary to it's
on the stage have
great deal labor on the
part of both teacher and pupils:

SENATOR TILLNIAN
Lectures Before the Cha ,lta ,uu,ua
at New Iberia.

Several residents of LAFAYETTE
went to New Iberia last Monday
to hear SanatOr Tillman's lecture.
The South Carolinian is one of
the most unique characters in
the United States. That he is a
man of brains and force is shown
by his continued leadership of
south Carolina politics. While
the extent of his influence in the
United States Senate is problem
atlcal, he is "a factor there. He
would be factor anywhere.
His talk at New Iberia-he saws
he does not lecture but simply
talks-was, in many respects,
an extraordinary deliverancc.
'l1llman is like no one else. He
is well named 'Pitchfork.' FL
Suratlvely speaking he uses that
instrument with rigid impair
tiallty IN his discussions of men
ana measures. He is blunt, pen
etrating, herhaps coarse, and to
extremely chaste years he may
be little bit vulgar. His voice
rings with sincerity, his ges-
lures are strenuous, his opinions
clean-cut. Whatever he NAV be.
he is no hypOcrite. He spoke on
the race question at New Iberia.
HIS views on the negro coincide {
with those of a great majority of {.
Southern people who have not
studied the question in the !,
Books and who are guided by
practical experience rather than
~ hne-spun theories. He does
lot agree with leading educators G
II the South who see a solution
L the problem in Booker Wash
ngton'S plan of industrial educa tt
ION. he believes that political b.
nd social equality is the goal of sc
'ashingtOn and his crowd. He d;
Ills the North to keep its long sc
ankee nose out of the South's
uSlneSS. He would maintain
he supremacy of the white race re
the South by law or by force. M
ld believes the South should be m;
I'D and defiant. If the South III
uSt choose between a curtail-
ent of its representation and a ,
turn to negro suffrage, he Wi
'uld welcome the former as a on,
'ser evil. Tillman is not a va,
eat orator, though he is elo- d,,
ent at times. But there is ,,.,
netting in his manner of ;no
eaking which convinces the
tener that there is force. sin \
'1ty, character and determi- wal
ton behind it. Yer.
