MOVEMENT FOR MORE
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

Owing to the crowded condition
of the public schools in the City
of New Iberia at the present time
and also the fact that practically
one hundred white children were
denied the privilege of a public
school education because Of lack
Of room, Superintendent R. w.
Frame and Mr.. Eugene Guillot
have been engaged this week in
procuring signatures to the follow
ing petition for a tax to be pre-
scented to the School Board of the
Parish at their next session.
These gentlemen appeared before
the ladies of the Civic League on
November 9th and discussed the
necessity of more buildings which
met the hearty approval Of the
League. According to the state
ment Of Supt. Frame there is in
round numbers one thousand
white children in attendance at
the public schools which is a good
showing and those that are de-
prived Of free schools should be
taken care of at an early date.
So far the petition for a tax is
meeting with welcome and en-
dorsement on all sides, not a
single tax payer whom has been
approached for their signature
but what readily signed the petit
tion to vote two mill tax for
fifteen years. Here follows the
petition:
eve, the undersigned citizens
and taxpayers Of the Sixth Ward
of Iberia Parish. do respectfully
petition that. after all legal de-
lays. an election be ordered to
record the vote of such citizens
and taxpayers for the purpose of
voting two (2) mills upon the as
sessable property Of such ward |
for period of fifteen (15) years, !
for the purpose of building and /
aquipping modern brick school
building upon the site of the pres
mt Julia Street frame building,
md for the further purpose Of !,
purchasing a site for and building
md equipping . modern two room
rick school building to be l0cat-
d at a central point on the east
ide Of Bayou Teche in the corp
rate limits Of New iberia.

siderable surprise was created here
today when Sheriff F'ike served a
warrant on Mrs A. L. James, wild
ow Of Jordan james, charging her
with the murder of her husband, on
July |, 1911, The grand jury

turned the indictment for murder
In the first degree, alleging that Mr.,

known means at the hands Of Mrs,
James,
On the morning of July 2, Jordan
James was found dead at Spring
creek, which runs In front Of the
James mill, six miles from this city.
AS the old man was feeble 1t was
supposed at that time that he had
fallen face downward In the water
as he leaned over to Oct a drink.
Il was his custom to walk to the
creek every morning. No investl-
cation was made, and apparently
no friends of the family thought
anything wrong until the arrest Of

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inilamed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube Is inhamed
you have a rumbline sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t Is en-
tirely closed, deafness Is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
Its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever, nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inAamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case Of deafness [caus-
ed by catarrhl that cannot be cured
