J State Superintendent Of Pub
lie Education Harris and DIR.
Singletary of Baton Rouge, men,
bers of the Southern University
Board were here last Tuesday
looking over a proposed site for
the location of the University
near New iberia. We under
stand q site was offered them near
| Orange Grove Plantation on the
opposite side of the Teche.
There is considerable rivalry at
present among the larger towns
of the State for the University
since it is to be removed from
New Orleans and unless New he
ria offers a large bonus the
school will be given to some other
community. We have been in
formed that a great deal of mon
ey has been raised among the
colored people hereabouts, which
will be submitted to the Board
at the proper time.
