QUESTION OF SUPERVISION
Important Matter to be Decided
 at School Election.
Annual Meetings Occur May I5-No Con test Anticipated in Conway
 Special District.

An important question is to be decided by the electors ot Faulk- ner county at the annual school elections which will be held on the third Saturday in next month, May IS, the decision as to whether or not the county shall adopt the system of county supervision of schools in accordance with an act passed by the legislature of 1907.
 This act provides for the election of a county superintendent of schools i'll the same manner and for the same term as other county officials, with the following proviso, which is copied from the act:
 That before any county shall be authorized to elect county superintendent the question of For County Supervision, and
 Against County Supervision shall be submitted 10 the qualified elect ors at the annual school meeting I'held on the 3rd Saturday in May in the years preceding those in which the general state and coun- ty elections are held and if major ity of the electors voting on such question i'll said election vote for county supervision the said county shall elect county superintendent as provided by this act.
 The act did not become law until May 27, 1907, too late for the question to be submitted that year, and 1909, of course, IS the first year preceding year in which a general election is held, and is therefore the first opportunity the voters have of deciding the super vision question In an opinion rendered Friday Attorney General Norwood holds that when super

 Duties of-Superintendent.
 Space does not permit thorough digest of the law concerning the duties of the county superintendent, but copy of this law is in the hands of each school director and may be examined by anyone who so desires. It provides, in brief, that the superintendent shall super sede the county examiner and per form all the duties heretofore per formed by that officer, and numer- ous others, among which are tbe following: He shall keep an ac- count with each school district, as to its revenues. disbursements, contracts, etc. and no contracts for charts, maps, globes, etc, shall be made without his approval; he shall furnish plans and specified tions for new buildings, subject to approval of directors; he shall re- ceive monthly reports from all teachers as to their work; he shall cooperate with directors in order to secure as nearly uniform text books as possible throughout the county, and prepare a course ot study for his county and aid teach CTS in putting it i'll operation; he shall maintain an office at the county seat, where bis records ana papers are to be kept, and remain in said office on the second and fourth Saturdays in each month; he shall devote his entire time to the performance of his duties and shall visit each school in the coun- ty at least once during each school year and as often thereafter as prac- ticable, remaining not less than three hours upon his first visit; he shall hold district institutes for teachers; he shall hold normal institute from the first Monday in April to the regular quarterly ex, animation in June. It is provided that his supervision shall not ex- tend to cities and towns that have provided for the supervision of their schools. His compensation shall be the same as that of the county judge and shall be paid from the fees required of teachers examined, the balance to be made up out of the county general school fund.
 No Contest in Conway.
 Secretary s. E. Anderson of the Conway school board today posted notices of the election to be held in this city May IS. The two di- rectors whose terms expire are A. I. Witt and s. E. Anderson. These gentlemen, it is understood, have consented to serve another term, and it is generally under stood that there will be no oppo- sition to them. The present mem bership of the board have made a splendid record in building the new school building and supervis- ing the school work, and the gen eral impression seems to be that the board should be kept intact, not only as a recognition of the services they have rendered the district, but in order that all de- of the new building may be closed up by board familiar with the contract, etc, under which it was constructed.
 It is also thought that there will be scarcely a vote against the sev- en- mill tax this year. as it was carried practically unanimously at the last election.

The Cane Crop.

From every quarter Of the sugar

is that done to the sugar houses, as
that can be measured by the cost O.

is yet a reasonable time ahead Of us
Much work can be done in forty or
fifty days and cane grinding should be
postponed to the latest practicable

In the cane fields the chief and
striking damage is that done to d "A
which instead Of bending to the storm
snapped off. To what extent the
damage to it may reach is yet to be
seen. Senator Provost Of iberia par
ish in a hurricane in 1879. which
affected his purple canes similarly,
swapping their tops off, found them
to work reasonably well and to make
open-kettle sugar satisfactorily, as
was his method at that time.
All other canes in the country were
blown down, but this is not necessa-
rily any serious disaster, and may
diminish their sugar yield but little
if any. 1t is perhaps premature to
make an estimate of our probable
final results, but if done we shall say
that our expected sugar crop of $780,
900 long tons would be reduced 10
per cent to 315,OOO tons, and this fall

EXPRESS APPRECIATION.
Farmers Present o. B. Hopkins Watch
Charm in Appreciation for
Making Corn Market.

At the beginning of the harvest sea-
son when the price Of corn was in
doubt and the farmers were uncertain
as to what their corn would bring
them, Mr.. o. B. Hopkins, manager Of
the Vordenbaumen Lumber Company,
entered the field as a buyer of corn
and placed the price at a dollar a
barrel. This determined the price for
corn and assured the farmers a profit
able return for their product.
This move of Mr.. Hopkins has been
greatly appreciated by the farmers,
and in token of this a committee
representing the farmers of this par
ish called on Mr.. Hopkins at the
Vordenbaumen Lumber Company's Of
flee Saturday afternoon and presented
him with a very handsome watch
charm upon which was engraved,
From the farmers of Lafayette, COM
plimentary to o. B. Hopkins for open
ing corn market. 1909" The money
for the charm was raised by cOntribu-
tlons of five cents from about two
hundred and fifty farmers. Some
wanted to give much more, but the
committee insisted on accepting only
five cents, as the token was simply
for an expression of the appreciation
of the farmers.
The presentation was made by
Messrs. F. Siadous, Sim Boudreaux
and Felix Nugent, and a number of
farmers were present. Messrs. Siad-
Gus and Nugent made brief and ap-
propriate presentation talks, express
ing the spirit that actuated the farm
ers in giving the charm to Mr.. Hop
kins, and then gave him a card with
hand-painted ear of corn, crop of
1909, on one side, and on the other
the following.
Sept 25, 1909.
Mr. Oren Hopkins.
This humble committee, voicing the
sentiments of the agricultural popu-
lation of Lafayette parish, comes to
you to recognize the good you did to
the community by establishing corn
market at liberal price of one dollar
per barrel, thus enabling the farmers
to sell the surplus of their record
breaking crop of that staple to settle
their or a good part of their indebted
ness, cotton being a failure and an
other storm succeeding the one we
had last year, eliminating to dis
aster to our farmers.
Then we come to o-offer you COM
plimentary token of a small value,
but expressing the highest gratitude
of the donators and of many others.
Motion made by F. Siadous and Sec
onded by all the signers, of which will
leave you list. Keep with the farm
ers, Mr.. Hopkins. because they wish
you success.
