Parish Seat Is Unsettled.

Jennings.-A second primary will
be necessary to decide which town is
to be parish seat of Jefferson Davis
parish. The returns received show
that Jennings and WEIGH ran almost
neck and neck for the coveted honor,
while Lake Arthur received slightly
over 200 votes. This means that ,Jer.
nings and Welsh will enter the second
race. Never before has SO much in.
terest been manifested here in all
election. The entire parish was scorr.
ed, and probably every qualified vot-
err of the fifteen precincts cast his bal"
lot for the place of his choice.

ThibOdauX.-Who and how many
members constitute the board of cleo.

is the question which has been pre-
scented to the attorney generals office
to answer. Since the new. act of 1912
abolishing the registrars office or

this vacancy has been left untitled.
The clerk of court is now required to
