State Board Of Education.

In the iberia rarish school squab-
Bile, II the facts brought out at the
hearing sustain the letter of State
Superintendent Harris, the State
Board of Education will probably re-
move Superintendent Valet, of Ib-
eria Parish, and direct the election Of
some other man, on the grounds that
Mr.. Dupuy and Mr.. Valet eliminated
themselves from the race when they
resigned. There is apparently little
doubt of the right Of the State Board
of Education to remove a parish sup
erintendent of education. -.

PROHIBITION FIGHT IN texas
Drys and Vets Arrayed at the

MUST SUBMIT TO VOTE OF PEOPLE
Submission Proposition in Legisla-

By Each Side in Lone Star
State

Austin, Tex.-Respective commit
tees in both the senate and house of
the Texas legislature have both
brought In majority and minority
report on the prohibition submission
proposition and the hght over the is-I
sakI al
ration Of Governor Campbell.
Both sides announce that they are.
eager for the fray. The pros have
a strong lobby here headed by a
number of Methodist preachers, and
they are going into the scrap in
dead earnest. The antis are work
ing not so much in the open, but
apparently are equally as effective.
They held caucus of the house
membership and it develops that they
have enough votes to defeat the
proposition in the house and have
something over proportionate third
in the senate, having twelve votes in
the senate and forty-seven in the
house out of a senate membership Of
thirty-one and house membersh
of l28 when it requires two-thirds
vote Of both houses to submit the
proposition to a vote of the people,
The pros are in , the hopes of
whipping the membership into line
on the ground that submission is a
Democratic platform demand, was
ordered by the people in Democratic
primaries and must be given to the
people to vote on. The fight prom
ises to be the bitterest ever pulled
off in a Texas legislature and es-
pecially as the pros are introducing
all kinds of bills into both houses to
use as clubs on the antis to force
them into line for submission, prom
ising them that if they will submit
the prosition that they will let the
rest of the legislation alone. The antis
figure, however, that If they can.
defeat submission they win gain some
support from the pro crowd for
defeat Of some of the measures, such
as statutory prohibition, which some
of those now supporting submission
are opposed to. In short, the antis
figure out that they must fight every
thing. and they are going in With
tHe1r B1e6ves rolled we'll up.

BUSINESS is GOOD.
Spring Orders Placed in Fairly Lib.
eral Quantities.

New York.-Changes in the gen.
eral business situation are largely
favorable. Spring orders are being
placed in fairly liberal quantities at
the larger eastern centers, and tray
cling salesmen are sending in conser-
vatively optimistic reports. In va
rious lines the prospect of tariff re-
vision tends to develop a certain de-
gree of hesitancy in making large
future commitments. Exceptions to
quite general rules of slow but steady
improvement are furnished by cities
in the cotton belt where trade is still
backward and where confidence as
regards the future is not so marked
but in the Industrial centers things
are certainly improving.

and the pastors are now encouraging
1t. The laymen by their good work
in securing contributions for benefi-

nearly come up to the standard set in

a year. and after trying several Hen
ry county physicians without success,
Mrs. May brought her daughter to this
city. She had been at the institution
about two weeks.
Talked With Physicians.
DR.. Bramkamp stated today that no

found that death was due to consump-
ton, although the coroner states neigh
bors had suspicioned something more
serious. The coroner talked with sew
eral physicians and learned OF their
suspicious.
In discussing the case DR.. Bram-
kamp stated that the institution had
no medical properties which would
make it suitable place. 1t is said
that the place has rather poor rep.
utation among the medical fraternity.
Mrs L. w. Hazlitt herself is not look
ed upon with favor by the local physi-
clans, and, in fact, has no license.
