OQlllOn BrOuSSarQ OflQSo re-
ported that the joint committee
would meet in Lafayette July Is,
to let contract for an iron bridge.
The Jury added Capt J. c. Buch-
anan and F. G.. MoutOn to the
parish committee, then decided
that the whole Jury would meet
on that date to consider the bids.
Mr.. Connolly reported having
sold old lumber from the Caren-
Gro bridge for $40 which amount
he had turned over to the Treas
urer.
The Jury accepted the report
of Messrs. Saul BrOussard and
Connolly as to the completion
and acceptance of the Lafayette
part of the CarencrO bridge, and
authorized Mr.. Connolly to brace
the bridge as a precaution
against high water.
Mr.. Breaux reported that a
number of citizens wished to
donate a road in 9Th ward, but
no action was taken.
Mr.. Boudreaux of the special
committee on court house and
Jail repairs, handed in bills for
work done.
Ludovic Billeaud was appointed
road overseer third ward; and
Norbert Simon west part End
ward, and Valentine Duhon east
part.
w. A. LeRosen, of The Lafa-
yette Advertiser, here appeared
before the Jury and stated a
plan he had for advertising the
parish and town of Lafayette,
requesting the Jury to donate
5000 to assist in the work pro-
vided they believed that the plan
was meritorious, and if carried
out, would result to the advant-
age and benefit of the parish.
The matter was taken under
advisement to be acted on at the
evening session.
The Jury then discussed the
advisability of meeting Friday
as a Board of Reviewers, which
they decided to do. It was prob
ably an oversight that they did
not postpone meeting as review.
ers until the date of meeting
could be advertised so that in
terested parties could appear be-
fore them to make complaints
should they wish to do so.
Mr.. Breaux asked that Chas.
Alleman, Ignace Montet, Jean
Gyat, Dole Duhon and Odillon
Broussard be appointed to lay
out a road in the 9Th ward from
SEVERN Duhon's to a point near
Onezime Trahan's, which was
done.
Mr.. Spell brought up the
drainage question and after q
discussion of all phases, an ap-
preparation of 5000 yearly was
made for each ward and $500
additional for wards l, 2. 4 and
6 for one year. The increase in
the four wards is necessitated
by the extra amount of low lands
in those wards, making it more
expensive to drain the roads
properly.
As soon as the Jury con-
vened for the afternoon ses-
sion, a committee from the
School Board consisting of DR..
N. p. Moss, Mr.. Delhomme and
Supt. Alleman requested an ad-
vance of $1,000 on the sum ap-
propr,ated for the schools. The
Jury declared themselves per-

POLICE JURY NOTES
II. Bi1leaud Jr. Elected President
and Resolution Ratifying Acts
of First Meeting Passed.
Considerable Attention Given the
Public R0ads.-Contract Made
With Sheriff Lacoste at $Soo0.-
Cement Walk Around
Court House Square.

Court House Square.
The Police Jury met promptly
at ten o'clock Thursday morning
with all present. Immediately
upon assemb bling the election of
q president was taken up as at
their initial meeting June II, no
president had been elected. l..
G. Breaux and M. Billeaud, Jr.,
were placed in nomination and
Mr.. Billeaud was elected on a
rising vote by one majority. Mr..
Breaux's name was submitted
first, the vote standing as follows:
For Breaux: Connolly, Mouton,
BOudreaux, Breaux.
For Billeaud: Landry, Theall,
Lacy. Spell, Billeaud.
The legality of the acts of the
Jury at it's first meeting, owing
to the failure to elect a president
and thus actually become an
organized body capable of acting,
being brought into question,
President Billeaud stated that he
had gotten advice on the subject
from his lawyer who had stated
it as his opinion that the acts
were legal. However, to remove
all doubts, the Jury passed q
resolution confirming the acts of
their first meeting.
Before proceeding to business
the minutes of the previous
meeting were corrected in some
minor details.
Reports of special committees
were called for, and the first to
report was the one appointed to
find out amount of additional
work now imposed on the Treas
urer and recommend adequate
rec0mpense. Chairman Billeaud
stated that in the opinion of the
committee an increase of 500
be granted and the Treasurer
required TO- keep special book
showing all amounts and for
what expended, so that an in
vestigation of the books could be
readily made and the sum on
hand ascertained at any moment.
Treasurer Martin, who was
present, objected to doing the
increased work for $1OO ad-
ditiOnal and refused to do 1T for
less than $500 salary, as to carry
out the plan would involve keep
ing separate books for every
fund greatly increasing his
already heavy work. Mr.. Bill
leauds's idea was q good one and
the Jury very properly granted
the $500 salary asked by Treas
urer Martin.
Assessor Martin submitted
the parish road tax assessment
amounting to $6169. Mr.. Boud-
reaux raised the question as
to the liability of the town vehi-
cles to the road tax. After some
discussion it was decided to con.
suit the Jury's attorney as to
whether the Assessor ought to
include them in his assessment.
President Billeaud asked for the
corporation assessment rolls.
Mr.. Martin stated that the city
VAS having: . house to house
assessment made and the rolls
would Hos be ready for several
davs. The parish roll was ac-
ceptsd.
The jury committee on the

August Is.
Sheriff LacOste appeared be-
fore the Jury and asked for
contract like one previously had
with Sheriff BrOussard, except
ing that instead of $4,000 the
amount should be $500, one
hundred dollars less. The con
tract was made without a dis
senting voice.
At the meeting June II a
majority of the Jury refused to
make a contract with Sheriff
Lacoste at $4,000 a year, giving as
a reason that the amount was
excessive, as had been demon
strated to the satisfaction of
some of them by an investigation
of the actual expense of the office.
Sheriff Lacoste stated that he
had petition from members of
the City Council and others ask
ing that the Jury give 8 feet all
around the square for the pur-
pose of widening the street.
They were also addressed at
their meeting on Friday by
Mayor Caffery on the same sub
ject, but declined, consenting
only to take up the matter again
at their meeting on the 18th.
Mr.. Billeaud of the committee
on moving city buildings from
the square asked for further
time which was granted.
Two bids for constructing
cement walks about the court
house square were opened. Pla-
eide Breaux offered to do the
work according to specifications
at 10 cents a square foot and pay
the parish 500 for bricks and
cement in present walk. A. E.
Massicot's bid was 14t cents per
square foot and him to have the
old bricks and cement.
NJ. Breaux was awarded the
contract, the work to be received
Nov. 1.
Chas. A. Boudreaux, L. G.
Breaux and Valery Boudreaux
were appointed committee to
see about a bridge in Mr..
Breaux's ward and report at
next meeting.
Mr.. LeRosen's request for the
Jury to assist in advertising the
parish was taken up. All the
members expressed themselves
favorably, and were willing to
give $3.50, but doubted their
right under the law. Judge G.
H. Mouton was called and asked
for his opinion. He stated that
in his opinion the Jury had no
right whatever to appropriate
money for such a purpose. Mr..
LeROsen then withdrew his re-
quest.
A number of gentlemen from
the 5th ward with Mr.. A. Olivier
as spokesman presented a petit
ton asking for repair of the road
passing by Mr.. Olivier's place
and leading to Broussardville.
Messrs. Mouton, Landry and
Connolly were appointed to in
vestigate.
Mr.. Theall was appointed to
find out how wide a road be-
longed to the parish from Leo
Decou's to p. Savoie's. The
road is at present only Is feet
wide.
Miss Annie Bell was appointed
beneficiary at the State Normal
from June to October l. and
$85 appropriated to defray her
expenses.

SIDNEY J. CATTS A
 WINNER IN THE FIFTH
High-tOned Campaign of the LoWndeS County Man Has Won Him Many VOtes--Strong
 in the Various Counties.

ter. The farmer wa3 on his knees plead ing that he might be spared long enough 90 cast one vote before he died that did not have the name of a Hefiin on it.'' In Chambers I repeated that rurnor and I found that all over the county hum dreds of voters are making that prayer. Many of the best business men and the farmers and factory people are working to have Mir Catts nominated.
 At Five Points. Tn Chambers county several substan- tial people came to greet the man, who Is to represent them in Congress. At La fayette the home of MT. Heflin gave as cordial reception to my friend as was ever accorded anyone.
 One thing was evident to my friend, and that was that Chambers so greatly enjoys the jokes of Tom, that they do not care to send him out of the State.
 At Lanett
 In Chambers county, we found an au- dience of some 300, who enlivened by a splendid brass band, gave the speaker a greeting such as they used to accord to the lamented Thompson. Catt's speech caught the crowd. No jokes, but solid business was what impressed them.
 Your correspondent in his speeches in behalf of his friend has shown the neces- sity of. sending a thorough going busi- ness man to Congress. One of Mir lief iins friends said that no man would get more fun out of going to Congress than our Secretary of State. He admits that if the people of this district were seek ing a man -
 To Have Fun
 or to make fun for others that I too would vote for the sweet singer of Chambers" but since the people want man who can render service and not have and make fun he recommends MT. Catts. Over and over I asked the people among whom the joker has spent his life, if they would select him because of his business qualifications and to a man they have said no
 In the language of MT. Catts: If Tom gets to Congress he may have some fun. but he certainly is not getting much fun out of the present race"
 The balance of this week will be spent in Fillmore, Coosa and Autauga counties.
 The Majorities
 Are hard to count until the votes are cast, but my belief is that Sidney J. Catts will be the winner, getting 1000 votes in Chambers county and 1,50o in Randolph, and leading every candidate in each of the other counties.

 It does not, as yet at least, go to the extent that where a mans business or his products are boycotted the associa- tion will turn in and attempt to stem the tide by furnishing him with goods or workmen or otherwise operate in a material sense.

The attorneys for the l Anti Boycott Association argued that as the Kellogg Company was engaged in supplying switchboards to the telephone and electric lighting companies in all parts of the country, 1t was therefore en- gagged in interstate commerce and a blow such as contemplated by the Teamsters' Union would be interference in inter- state commerce and by invoking the law in this instance. broke the strike and the boycott
