The law of Iowa compels the owners
OF all hedges along the public highway
to keep them trimmed. In many in
stances in this county the law has not
been obeyed and the hedges have grown
up high along the roadside, which causes
the snow to drift in the winter time and
makes the roads much muddier after
rains. 1t is the duty of supervisors in
each township to serve notice on the
owners of such hedges to keep them
trimmed. These notices will be served
soon after the first Of January, as re-

mas UGH as my candidacy has
been made public with my con-
sent, I deem it necessary to give
this notice. In order that no
IN misunderstanding may arise as
to the motive prompting my
withdrawal, I will say that per-
sonal reasons only compel it.
1t will be appreciated by the
general public that unforeseen
conditions have forced me to be-
come the editor of The Lafayette
Gazette, and a sentiment of deli
cacy, under the circumstances,
force me to withdraw from the
race. Other reasons. coupled
with these, make it impossible
for me to remain a candidate.
In stating my withdrawal I will
take occasion to thank the many
friends who proffered their sup
port to me, for whom I will ever
retain a grateful feeling.
It would be proper, however,
to say in conclusion, that my

it would make but little differ
ence. He criticised the records
of some of his political oppo-
nents. He said he had always
been friend of public educa-
ton and he could prove this by
substantial assistance rendered
by him to the schools. He said
it was not true that he had tried
to deprive any citizen of the
right to vote, but on the con-
trary he had done all in his
power to have poll tax payments
promptly made. His statement
that he would send certified
list of poll tax payments to all
voting precincts on the 10Th of
January. although he had been
advised that such action on his
part was not compulsory, met
with loud approval. The sheriff
amused the audience by refer

which the machine" had been
run in the short space of fifteen
minutes, saying it had to be sent
to New Orleans for repairs.
DR.. G. A. Martin, candidate
for coroner, held the audience in
a happy mood for half an hour.
His frank statements, made in a
perfectly natural manner, won
for him the sympathy of his
hearers. The doctor will no
doubt make many friends
throughout the parish by his
stirring talks. He paid we'll
deserved tribute to Sheriff Brous-
sard, and advised his friends to
vote for him.
The Sontag Military Band and
the Abbeville Concert Band
played sweet and inspiring music
for the occasion. The latter
organization, under the leader
ship of Prof. H. w. Pate, came
to Lafayette to express their
friendship to Sheriff Broussard
and were welcomed in our midst
in a hospitable manner. They
were the guests of Sheriff Brous-
sard during the day and they
participated in an enjoyable ban

sheriff at the Crescent News

The campaign for parochial
officers to be chosen at the pri-
mary on Jan. 10, 1908, took a
very lively turn last Sunday at
the meeting of democrats held
at the court house and called to
ratify the candidacy of those
constituting the BrOussard-
Scranton ticket. The court room
was packed and scores remained
downstairs unable to gain ad-
mittance. In the audience were
many ladies whose presence lent
an air Of grace to the assembly.
The men in attendance were repre-
sentative democrats, as a whole,
who had come to hear dispas-
sionate discussion of the issues,
some of them fictitious, which
have disturbed the peace of the
local body polite for the past
few weeks.
District Attorney William
Campbell called the meeting to
order, and Hon. Adrien A. Liable
was chosen chairman.
The chairman introduced as
the first speaker, Judge G. De-
baillon. Judge Debaillon depre-
Gated the use of personal abuse
and vituperation in the discus
sions incident to political cam
paigns. He briefly referred to
State issues and said he was
personally opposed to the main
tenance of the patronage placed
in the hands of the governor of
the State. He explained lucidly
the poll tax law, and said it
should be obeyed under penalty.
He regretted the arousing of the
passions of the people relative to
the poll tax. His remarks were
frequently applauded.
District Attorney Campbell
was the next speaker. His Wig
orous remarks were we'll re-
ceived. He followed the same
line of discussion begun by
Judge Debaillon and carefully
expounded the poll tax law, and
arraigned the Parish Executive
Committee for their notification
of the law. He did not wish to
see any innocent citizen render
himself criminally liable, and,
therefore, as the representative
of the State, deemed it his duty
to give public expression to his
views. The statement of the
speaker to the effect that he was
in favor of the poll tax law and
that he voted against the amend
ment proposing its repeal,
brought forth great applause.
He told the audience of the Sc
we're penalties following a viola
ton of the poll tax law and he
personally defended his course
in parish politics, denying
strenuously the rumors that he
had been caught in a drag-net"
by a combination. The forceful
talk of the District Attorney
was favorably received by the
audience.
Judge Julian Mouton spoke
next. He humorously described
local conditions and ridiculed
the bugaboos raised by the op-
ponents of the Broussard- Scran-
ton faction. The speaker adorned
his remarks with homely fables,
the applicability of which
seemed to have been readily I'M
derstood. He made an earnest
appeal to the democrats not to
desert the party which had

PROF. JAMES Ii. ASWELL.
Our Next State superintendent
Of Education.

ouf Next state superintendent
of Education.
Although nearly one month
has elapsed since President
James B. Aswell, of the Indus
trial Institute at RustOn, was
finally persuaded to announce
his candidacy for the Office Of
State Superintendent of Public
Education, and although the
primary method of nomination
is the one which invites the
largest number of candidates
for all Offices, it is neverthe-
less a fact that, not only no
other candidate has been pre-
sented since that time. but even
the one candidate that had an
nounced himself has withdrawn
from the race. This remarkable
singleness of popular opinion
means one thing-it means two
things; first, that Prof. Aswell is
recognized over all the State as
being prominently the man to
direct the movement that is now
being waged for the education of
all the beopLe, and, seranA, that the
cause of education has become
so dear to the great heart of the
people that they now choose not
to middle their school affairs
with partisan politics. They do
not ask, is the candidate on one
ticket or on another ticket; all
they want to know is, is he quail
fed in mind and heart, in exper-
fence, in singleness of purpose,
in sincerity, in purity of life,
and in a self-denying zeal for the
welfare of mankind. Knowing a
man to be thus qualified, they do
not look about for any other
champion, but, leaving aside all
partisan differences, all factions
and parties unite upon the one
man that is known to be fit for
this high Office; indeed the
highest Office, in many respects.

A MEXICAN SENTENCE.
American Must Serve Two Years in
the Mexican Army.

Duncan Garrett, who is well known
in this city, has been sentenced to serva
two years in the Mexican army for
mayhem. Several weeks ago at Can
anea he became involved in a fight with
a Mexican, and during the fight bit off
one of the Mexican'S ears. He was ar
rested and thrown into Jail, and for
weeks was held there without being
given any hearing. His brothers and
friends tried in every manner to get
him an early hearing but without avail.
Last week his case was called up be-
fore the local commissario and he re-
ceived the above sentence. At last ac-
counts he had not been taken from
Cananea to the army, but it is expected
he will be taken within a short time.
An effort is now being made by his
relatives and friends to have the United
States consul take up the case and if
possible have the sentence committed
to a cash fine of some sort in order that
he can stand a show of getting out
