NOTHING DEFINITE.
But Indications are Promising.
Gen. Miles, Gov. nogg and
Party Have Left,
But Took Options on Several
Large Tracts.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Gov:
Hogg, J. ". Swayne, and J. N.
Bruck, who spent week here
investigating the Oil fields at
Anse La Butte and near terri
tory left the latter part of last
week. Their Investigations have
convinced them that the Anse
La Butte field possesses great
possibilities, while Mr.. Bruck,
and oil expert from Boston pro-
nounces the Anse La Butte oil of
a very superior quality as a
lubricant. Mr.. j. C. Nickerson,
our wide-awake real estate agent,
accompanied the party in their
drives over the oil territory, and
besides showing them many
courtesies, was of much assist
ance to. them in their inyestiga-
tions.
Only one purchase outright
was made and that by Mr.. Bruck
of 100 arpents near Anse La
Butte. The others Of the party.
have taken an option on some
large tracts, which, if purchased
will run up into thousands of
dollars.
The advent of these gentlemen
into the local field, should they
close their options, viii be of
vast Importance, and the possf
bility Of their so doing, is more
than 3 probability. They have
taken steps towards the forma-
tion of a large company to con-
troll and develop their holdings
in the Crowley, Jennings, Beau
mont and Sour. Lake fields, and
expect to include Anse La Butte.
No further action will likely be
taken by the party just at pre-
sent. The expenditure of such a
large sum as is contemplated
here, requires careful attention
and haste is hardly to be ex-
pected. Gen. Miles will return
some time in January, when the
deal may be expected to be
closed or some definite decision
reached.

Messrs. Grow Girard and j. j.
Mouton attended the meeting of
the State Central Committee in
New Orleans on the 18th in re-
gard to a rehearing of the Lafa
yette case, but Mr.. Girard
decided to withdraw the request,
and so the case was not brought
before the committee. While
there Mr.. Girard was engaged
to represent the Rees- Broussard
faction of ST. Martin parish, who
made charges of wholesale
frauds in the primary election
lately held in that parish. The
So. Martin case was referred to
the executive. committee with
plenary powers to act,

The Broussard. Scranton Mass
meeting.

A large and representative
audience was present at the
political meeting held last Sun
day in the interest of the Brous'
sard Scranton faction.
The capacity of the court
house was taxed to it's utmost to
accommodate the throng of people
hailing from every section of the
parish, and the presence of many
ladies added grace to the occa-
sion.
Eloquent and spirited address.
es were delivered by Judge
Debaillon, Judge Julian Mouton,
Hon. VIM. Campbell, Sheriff
! Broussard and DR.. G. A. Martin,
candidate for coroner, whose
happy-go-lucky style of discuss
ing politics completely capti-
vated his hearers. The remarks
of the various speakers often
times aroused the enthusiasm Of
the audience to the highest pitch,
and every reference made to
education and public schools was
warmly applauded.
!; The manly candor Of Mr..
Campbell in publishing the fact
that he approved the pon-tax
qualification for suffrage and had
voted against it's repeal, because
the money raised by this means
went to- othe support Of the pub
lie schools, elected tremendous
applause. and the audience like
wise manifested genuine appro-
baton Of the statement made by
Sheriff Broussard that he had
given practical proof Of his earn
est interest in the education of
the children Of his native parish
by always subscribing literally
Of his hard earned money to-
ward the building Of school
houses and for the advancement
of education
The excellent music rendered
by the S0ntag Military Band and
the brass band of Abbeville came
in for a full share of apprecia-
ton, the voluntary and gratui-
tous services of the visiting band
being a graceful compliment to
Sheriff Broussard.
The veteran Adrien Liable was
selected chairman of the meet
ing and the following gentlemen
acted as vice-pmsidents: Jean
Begnaud, Lewis Wilmington,
Charles Harrington, Harrison
Theal. B. P. Landry, Darmas
Landry, NJ Billeaud, Sr., Heb
rard Ginouard, Antheal Bernard,
II. Simoneaux, V. Kilchrist, E.
Trahan, A. D. Verrot, S. ].

Card of Thanks.

The ladies' Of the Jewish Aid
Society desire to thank the peo-
pie of Lafayette for their ganer-

delightful music.

Sound and Timely Advice.

To The Advertiser:
All friends Of education will
undoubtedly take the hint con-
tanned in the timely commentsof
The Advertiser upon the un-
friendly action of the member of
the Police Jury from the 3rd.
ward in advocating a reduction
in the parish rate of taxation, on
the ground that the current ex
penses of the parish should be
curtailed BY CUTTING DOWN THE
YEARLY APPROPRIATION FOR
SCHOOLS.
This extraordinary PROPOSE
tion to reduce the appropria-
tions for schools in the face of
i the knowledge that more school
funds are needed now than ever
before, is without justification in
reason, and unquestionably
shows the danger to the public
welfare that is involved in elevat-
ing to positions Of power, indivi-
duals who habitually use the in
fluence OF their Official position
to obstruct public progress by
antagonizing all measures rea-
sonably calculated to be of gen
eral benefit to the community.
Persons who favor decreasing
the efficiency of our public school
system are clearly out of joint
with the times, and we may rest
assured that the higher interests
of mankind will be advanced with
greater certainty by placing in
control of government, men
known to be in harmony with the
progress and spirit Of the age.
|. The Advertiser is advising the
people wisely in insisting that
! more vigilance and discrimina.
ton in the selection of men for
| public Office" should be exer'
/, cised, and there are healthy in.
dications that this advice will not
go unheeded in the approaching
election, by many who are now
doing some hard thinking on this
subject.
