mates of the road.
The prospects for the construc-

this city, there is every reason
to believe that the Eunice. Lafa-

The Cotton CrOp.

The indications are that the cotton
crop in this parish will fall consider
ably short OF what it was last year.
Mr.. Corona of the Lafayette Com
press and Storage Co., being well
posted man on cotton conditions in
the parish. a reporter requested him
to give his opinion. He stated that
estimating 800 pounds to a bale the
yield would be somewhere in the
neighbOrhood of 5000 bales as
against 2S.O00 last year, He further
stated that up to date they had GIN
ned only IS Der cent. as many bales
this year as they had by this time last
year, which is in itself an Indication
that the crop is from 30 to 35 per cent
short.
Asked as to the price they were pay
ing for cotton, he said lOl with the
seed, and 81 without the seed.

The daily sessions of the In.

Two sessions are held daily

are that all in attendance will
derive much benefit.
Wednesday morning DR.. Steph-
ems addressed the teachers on
the work of teachers particularly
with reference to their relation
to the people of the community
in which they teach. His talk
was quite helpful and was much
appreciated by the teachers.

team to Crowley last Saturday
and had a pleasant day of it.
The Institute team won the
game with the Crowley High
School by il score of IL to5. 1t
is expected that the Crowley
crowd will soon come here to try
to make it back. They have a
good team. Everything points
to great contest next spring
for the Biossat Cup No. 2 FOR the
best Track Team work. They
beat our team in foot ball last
week and that makes them as.
pire to take the Biossat cup: but
some things don't follow other
things at all.

The Institute Farm is contem-
plating the purchase of two or
three more good cows and also

the line of farm economy.
All the students are now be-
ginning to think how good a
Thanksgiving turkey tastes.
Mr.. Denry Spell of the second

Line Being Located With View
to Low Grade and no Cur
vature. People Along
Route Enthusiastic.

Vice President and General Mana
ger Clark OF the Eunice. Lafayette and
Abbeville Railroad and Chief Engi-
neer l.. F. Lonnbladh and his assis-
tant. Geo. x. KoOntz, spent yester-
day in the city. In answer to request
for news OF the road. Mr.. Clark
stated that surveying party
under Mr.. Lonnbladh and his assis-
tant, Mr.. Koontz, with twelve men
started Nov. and were working to-
wards Abbeville. They were now camp.
ed about three miles south of Eunice
and will move camp nearer to Church
Point. They will have the line run
into Church Point by Wednesday or
Thursday next. He further stated
that the people all along the proposed
line were manifesting great deal of
enthusiasm for the road which was
very gratifying. The people of
Church Point were especially

handle the business of the territory
and want another road. AS to ter
minals, he said that they had in a
general way looked into the subject at
Abbeville, Lafayette and Eunice, but
! that nothing definite had been de-
cided on. AS to the location of the
line, it was being located with the OBJ
ject of getting low grade line with
practically no curvature. The work
was being gone through with in the
most thorough manner with a view of
obtaining a first class location. That
was about ali that could be given out
at present. Mr.. Clark left last even
ing for Opelousas and Messrs. Lonn-
bladh and Koontz returned last night
to camp. They expect the surveying
party to reach Lafayette in about two
weeks and IL three weeks more expect
to have the line run to Abbeville.

salary and fees of an Office, in con-
sideration of the plaintiffs using his
influence to elect the defendant to such
Office, is void: and Leonard, Judge,
in deciding the case. said:
1T is undoubtedly void, as con-
trary to public policy. 1t was in
terms a promise to use not only per-
sonal effort, but personal influence,
among the voters of Storey County to
secure defendants election. Its in
tiuence upon plaintiff was the same as
though defendant had promised to
give him definite sum of money in
case of election. Success would bring
reward, while defeat would result, not
only in loss of coveted profits, but
time and labor as we'll. BY it plain
titf's love of gain was stimulated, and
great temptation placed before him
to promote his own interest regardless
of public good. This arrangement
may have induced him to influence ten
men, or hundred, to vote for de-
fendant in opposition to pre-conceived
political principles, and fixed ideas of
right and duty: and too, when they have
preferred his opponent as an incum-
bent of the Office. Such a contract
cannot be upheld. Its tendency was
to corrupt the people upon whose in
tegrity and intelligence the safety of
the State and Nation depends-to
lead voters to work for individual in
terest rather than the public welfare.

She began work this week. talk

typewriting, under the direct.
ion of Miss George, as head of
the Department of Stenography

new Remington typewriters
have been put into commission
and all the old ones have been

DR.. Stephens went to Crowley
early Monday morning to de-
liver the opening address at the
Crowley Fair. and returned to
the Institute the same day.
He reports having visited the
new South school building,
which is not yet entirely COM
plete, but which promises to
be very excellent structure.
1t is brick building of eight
classrooms, with cloak rooms
for each classroom. and will be
heated by hot air. It's cost will
be only about fifteen thousand
dollars. He also reports that
the Fair is a great success and
speaks we'll for the progressive
ness of the Acadia people and
the agricultural developement
of the surrounding country.
The special social entertain
ment held in the Girls Gymnas-

such as fortune telling, plays
and games, etc.
Sometimes at the end of the
month student who has done
too poorly in his studies has to
be put back into Il lower class;
but it also occasionally happens
that student who has done par
well is put up into

both ways and some there BE-
