pairing catalogue and list of prizes.
The Advertiser was awarded printing
the catalogue and the other printing

Mr.. NJ NJ. Mills will paint a dozen

an exhibition hall in the shape of a
Grek cross. Steps will be taken to
provide ample stalls. booths, etc, and
also light and water from the town

portions and very complicated at the

sixth ward was divided; Mr.. Boulan-
ger said the eighth ward was opposed
to five mills; Mr.. Comeaux said the
seventh ward would carry; DR.. Toll
son said only four had refused to sign
the petition in the third ward. Dr..
Martin said he found many in Lafa-
Mr.. f. G. Voorhies contended for a
three mill tax although he had signed
for five mills. The town and parish
should stand united in the cause of
education and if the three mill tax
proved insufficient, the people could
demand Of the City Council and Po-
lie Jury money enough to extend the
term. He contended for harmony
and unity of action and the three mill
proposition would bring about these
happy results. President Tolson con-
cluded with a brief but forcible pre-
sentation of the proposition of the
Board, every member of which was
actuated by sincere desire to serve
the best interest Of the people and
administer the school affairs as eco
nomically as possible. Mr. F. V.
Mouton spoke in favor of a three mill
tax also.
At the conclusion of the public
meeting the Board held an executive
session and on motion Of Mr.. Hutch
inson resolved to maintain the propo-
sitjon for a five mill tax. as no less
rate would provide sufficient revenue
for the schools.

II the s. ~.
Pursuant to your special instruc-
tions We very carefully and thorough
ly investigated the matters relating
to B. c. CaldwelPs management of the
affairs of that institution and while
cling Auditor on these matters sent
here by the Governor and handed
to us.
notwithstanding the most dill
gent scrutiny of MIR. Caldweil's con-
duct we were unable to find any facts
that amounted even to a suspicion Of
anything more culpable on his part
than loose management of the busi-
ness affairs of the boarding club, and
this looseness was, we are entirely
convinced, more the result OF his in
adequate clerical assistance than the
want Of business ability. Mr.. Cald-
well deserves the everlasting praise
and gratitude of the people of Louis
lana for the magnificent work that he
did in building up the Normal School
to its present greatness and IN the
cause ce odrc"ticr generally"

$16,048.OO
Over plus s3,621.31.

The above statement does not in
clude any part of the revenue OF
$4,000 from rent of the school land,
nor any part of the fines imposed by
the District Court, nor of the fee OF
s1.OO per family imposed for inciden-
tai expenses.
Mr.. r. H. Broussard called atten-
tiop to the fact that railroad, tele-
graph and telephone assessments
figured in the corporation of Lafa-
yette. while as a matter of justice
they should be apportioned to the
respectiye wards through which the
lines run. Much private property
was assessed the same way. Mr..
Caffery replied that while this was the
law, it was notably true that the town
assessment was much higher relative
ly than country property.
Mayor Martin discussed the propo-
sition in a broad spirit. contending
that the Board must have sufficient
revenue. declaring his purpose to sup
mort either five mill tax or three as
might be determined. He thought it
best If possible to put the three mill
proposition and next year vote anoth-
er tax if necessary, or depend upon
increased appropriations from the
City Council and Police Jury. DR..
Martin argued that while ne was per-
fectly willing to vote the five mill tax
and pledged himself in advance. yet
he thought that the three mill propo'
sition should be put rather than 1eop'
ardize the measure. In answer to Dr.
Martin Mr.. Thos. Hutchinson said the
second ward would carry the tax
without trouble; Mr.. Breaux said the

WILL MAINTAIN FIVE
MILL PROPOSITION.
Conference Between School Board and
Citizens to Discuss Question of
School Tax.
SUBSTITUTION OF THREE MILLS
INSTEAD OF FIVE ADVOCATED.
Board Decides Three Mills Not Suffi-
cient, and Will Ask for Five
Mill Tax.

MONDAY evening last, pursuant 10
announcement, the Parish School
Board held a conference at the High
School with a number of taxpayers
for the purpose of determining wheth-
er to change the proposition for five
mill school tax to a three mill tax, in
order to conciliate certain citizens
who favored the lower rate Dr. Tol-
son, president of the Board, called the
meeting to order and asked Supt.
Wright to explain the object in view.
Mr.. Wright briefly stated that the
Board had come 10 the conclusion
that In order TO run the schools a
nii:e months session K would be nee
essary To ask the people to vo1e Z
five mill tax for maintenance. The
situation which confronted the Board
was such that unless the revenue
could be found the schools must close
with a very short season. A state
ment of receipts and disbursements
based upon actual resources and ei-
penses of school administration had
been published and this showed that a
five mill tax was necessary to run the
schools 1t was now up to any oppo-
could serve the purpose.
Mr.. C. d. Caffery was called upon
and contended for three mill tax,
basing his argument upon the propo-
sition that each ward should under
the lazy constitute a school district
and provide it's own revenues. MIR.
yaffery declared his friendship for
the schools, but many honestly diff
fered with the Board as to the pro-
posed levy of five mill tax. He ar
gued at length upon the figures sub
mitted in Supt. Wright's statement,
and in support of his position pro-
duced the following statement:
1. Share of Sd ward in
State apportionment ISIS 100000
2. mill tax on Corpora'n 10000
3. mill tax on Sd ward. 1.269.3l
4. Share of Sd ward in
amount appropriated by
Police Jury ..... 10000
5. Poll taxes for Sd ward,
including town. .......... 1,40O.00
6. Appropriation from City
Council .......... 100000
$19,66931

schools of the Sd ward

{. D. Martin Dead.

Mr.. Edward Martin, former resident
of Worcester County, died at his home,
1912 st. Paul Street. Baltimore, of
Bright's disease, early Tuesday morn
ing.
Mr. Martin was born in Snow Hill in
1856. He was son of the late Edward
d. Martin, prominent lawyer of this
town. After graduating at st. Johns
College, Annapolis. in 1874, Mr.. Martin
went to Homecoming and took the prin-
cipalship of the academy at that place.
He remained there only short time.
Returning to Worcester County. he &C.
copied the principalship of Berlin Acad-
envy which he held for number of years
and was considered one of the best in
structors on the Eastern Shore of Mary
land, the school attaining reputation
not confined to the county. While teach
ing in Berlin, Mr.. Martin studied law
under the instruction of Upshur & Pur-
nell. Upon his admission to the bar he
stopped teaching and entered into part
nership with Calvin b. Taylor for the
practice of his profession, the firm be-
ing styled Martin & Taylor. When the
Hon. Ephraim X. Wilson was elected a
senator of the United States he selected
Mr.. Martain to be his private secretary
and the deceased remained with Senator
Wilson until the latter's death.
Mr.. Martin married Miss Mamie S.
Wilson. daughter of Senator Wilson,
who died three years after their mar
riage leaving one son, Wilson Upshur
Martin, who survives his father.
Up to the time of his death and for a
number of years previous to it. Mr..
Martin was chief of the Judicial Depart
ment of the Fidelity Trust Company of
Baltimore City. of which Ex-Governor
Warfield is the president.
Mr.. Martin was in Snow Hill only a
few weeks ago attending the funeral of
his sister, Mrs. Zadok P. Wharton. His
health was then ina very precarious
state. II was noticed that he was very
much effected and seemed to realize
that the time was not far distant when
he would join his beloved sister on the
other side. He spent several weeks
this summer at Ocean City and was
temporarily benefited by his sojourn
there but nothing could bring perma-
nent relief and death was not unex-
pected.
The remains of Mr.. Martin were
brought to Snow Hill from Baltimore on
Wednesday and inferred in the Presby-
terrain Cemetery the same day. Funeral
services were held at the grave.
