Campbell was the same party who
murdered negro named Zeeke
W0odfall on the Sunnyside plan
tation in Point Coupee parish four
years ago. The sheriff thereupon
Informed the negro that he was
wanted In the latter parish for
murder and Campbell readily con-
fessed to having committed the
deed, detailing to the sheriff the

At the close of the evening each

Public Improvements.

We are glad to see that one of
our most intelligent citizens has
put himself on record as being in
favor of broad and comprehen-
sive system of public improve
ments. In communication pub
lished in the last issue of the Cla-
rion, a correspondent who signs
''Greedy," J" has squarely taken that
position-one that was quite pop
ular three years ago, but for some
reason had apparently been aban-
doned by most of its advocates of
that time. We agree entirely with
s'Greedy' that the proper thing
to do is to issue bonds and make
the needed improvements at once.
According to the assessed valua-
ton of the town, some sixty or
seventy thousand dollars worth
could be issued, and after paying
for the proposed sewerage system
Ito cost $50, ,000), some thirty or
forty thousand would be left for
sidewalks and street paving,
which, added to by the property
holders in the proportion of two
to one Gas in the matter of side
walks already built), would pro-
vide d fund Of some 100000 or
100000 for this purpose. This
is not quite all we need for the
purpose, but it would go a long
way toward making Opelousas the
most attractive town and the most
pleasant place of residence in the
State. Property of all kinds would
at once double in value, and the
investment would bring many ben
fits and advantages that are now
scarcely dreamed of. As to the
city hall project, that can be de-
ferred for ten years, or even in
definitely, for it is essentially a
move for the mere convenience of
q few, while the other is just as
emphatically and essentially a
measure for the benefit and ad-
vantage Of the many. "The great
est good to the greatest number
is safe guide to follow.

A Town Hall vs.. Sewerage.
"A town hall naturally appeals to

A town hall naturally appeals to
civic pride, but at a time when the
old town is being stirred up by
prospects of new railroads, with
real estate rising by leaps n d
bounds, and corner lots formerly
quoted in Hundreds" now selling
in the "thousands," the town hall
proposition gains more willing ears
and those who really doubt its ne
cessity are afraid of opposing it be-
cause they do not wish to be put
in the category of "mossbacks,'
or "kickers. But one thing is
positively undeniable, and that is
that proposition to build IL town
hall before the town is properly
watered, lighted and paved, and
above all, severed should be
promptly and emphatically turn
ed down by the Council. A town
hall while useful and ornamental, J,
is not necessity; water, light and
sewerage are.
There are many taxpayers In
this town who have been paying
the water tax for years, some even
within a short distance of the
tower, who have not yet re-
ceived water-when they ask for
relief they are politely told, the
revenues do not warrant it. On-
til such of our townspeople get re-
lief it is premature to talk of town
halls.
Bellevue street, one of the lead
ing streets of the town, upon
which the new hotel is to be erect
ed has paved sidewalks only to
Main street. 1t should be paved
to the Methodist church, and so
should Church street to the Epls-
copal church.
The most pressing wants that
confront Opelousas - infinitely
more so than town halls, hotels
and railroads, is-sewerage. Every
case of typhoid should be re-
minder of this fact to the people.
Next to sewerage in Importance,
both for health and as insurance
against fire is water. There should
be water plug at every street
corner, AID every morning during
dry SPELLS the town should have
an employee sprinkling the streets
with a hose and allaying h s
frightful dust, that besides being
an intolerable nuisance, is one OF
the vehicles for carrying disease
germs and particularly typhoid.
What must a capitalist prospect
i've investor or factory site hunter.
think of a town with a beautiful
town hall, streets electrically
lighted, magnificent Jail, good ho-
tel, palatial bars and ornate chur.
ches-but with dirty streets and
open sewers-fouIer than an Au-
gean stable-what can they think
How quickly will they be induced
to invest? They will think what
so many have thought and said OF
| New Orleans in the past, that de-
spite it's many confessed charms
Of climate, environment society
etc, that its filth was overpower'
ing and revolving, and this be-
came so great an estoppel to the
city's growth and prosperity, thai
the taxpayers finally decided on
fourteen million dollar sewerage
and drainage system-and from
the day the outside world saw she
was going to be godly by being
clean, prosperity commenced. :
