NEGRO ATTEMPTS TO
KILL HIS MISTRESS
Joe Thomas Enters DIR. Ban
mans Home In Search Of
Mistress.

A negro by the name of Joe
Thomas entered the home OF DIR.
Bauman in search of Lessie
Walker, DIR. Bauman's cook.
The negro became very angry at
the woman and started for her,
Whereupon Lessie Walker made
a break for one of the bed rooms,
Thomas keeping close behind.
Upon entering the bed chamber
the black made a search for the
gun, and finding the weapo,l was
about to shoot at the woman
when plucky little Mrs. eddie
Durio, who was the only one in
the home, except the two qulrrel-
ing blacks, stepped into the room
and warned Thomas to leave or
she would shoot him. Thomas
was not aware that any one be-
sides himself and his mistress
was in the house and was conse-
quently taken by complete sur
prise. He made a hurry get-a-
way from the room.
The officers were notified and
at present the bold black is now
drawing three square meals a
day from the Parish and is a star
boarder at the Parish Hotel.
Thomas is thought to be a
dangerous character; many be-
lieve that he is one OF The
notorious chicken thieves who
have been operating in this city
for a number of months.
The negro was angry at the
woman and went to the Bauman
home fully resolved to take her
life, and so informed Lessie
Walker, whereupon she began a
retreat, with Thomas in the back.
Had Mrs. Durio not come on the
scene the woman would no doubt
be a corpse.

school in Opelousas, and this
amount requires a good, substan-
tial and fire-proof building. This
Mr.. Thompson proposed to his
friends here and, the necessary
number of voters gladly gave
their signatures to a petition
which the well known Superin-
tendent of Public Schools of this
parish circulated, calling for an
election to vote on the five mill
tax referred to above. The tax
was passed by a big majority
and the taxpayers of this city
had taken the initiative step on
the road to true progressiveness.
It is the hope of Caldwell
brothers to complete this elegant
building within the next eight
months. The school children,
however, will be able to start
the school year of 1914-15 in a
brand new building.
In LnlS Du1IQlng, on the ground
floor will be the finest auditorium
in this section. 1t will be large
enough to accommodate an i'm
mense crowd and at the same
time be very roomy;;.. it will be
two stories in height, whilst the.
stage will be as large as a reg
ular theatre.
Opelousas will be proud of it's
school building when it will have
been completed, and at the same
time will owe Superintendent
Thompson and those who so ably
assisted him in passing this tax
! debt of gratitude, which it will
never be able to pay.

RECORD CROPS DUE
IN OLD ST. LANDRY
Farmers In Every Portion or
This Parish Confident OF
Good Year.

The biggest crop this parish
has placed on the market for
many years is promised for this
fall. The farmers from every
quarter in St. Landry are conf
/ dent to bring to town the largest
crop seen in this section, since
the appearance of the boil wee
| vii.
| The cotton crop is indeed plea
SAINT to look at, and makes the
farmers wear smile which hard
luck alone could possibly erase.
1t is almost certain that that
splendid moneyed crop will once
more be king in st. Landry
Complaints of the terrible boil
weevils are few, though there
are millions in places, but ais d
general rule the cotton is better
in this parish than it has been
since 1904, when st. Landry
raised more Of this staple than
any other parish in the state.
The farmers feel assured that
they will once more be on their
feet.
The corn crop, which has fall
en- short for the last few years,
is surprising the expectation Of
those who claim to know some
thing Of this sereal. Nearly
every farmer around this vicini-
ty will say that he has a much
bigger crop than he had last
year or several years previous.
Rice, which up to this season.
was not reckoned with as a large
crop will be at the top this year.
Along the Union Irrigation's
Canal thousands Of acres OF land
are covered with this splendid
food crop and there is no doubt
that this crop will bring millions
of dollars to this coun
try. For miles a III q
miles between Washington,
Plaisanee and LaWtell can be
seen the beautiful green rice,
which was planted on lands
which We're heretofore bringing
very little to the farmers. but
which will be source Of great
delight when harvesting season
will be upon them.
The season has been an ideal
one so far; it seems as though
Providence had His eye upon the
farmers of st. Landry and was
desirous to see them prosper,
who have been hard hit for the
last eight years. The rains were
not too numerous, W hilst { the
crop did not suffer very much
from the usual summer dry spell.
With the three principle crops
Of this parish in splendid condi-
tion, the farmers. as well as the
people residing in the towns IN
St. Landry, have very little cause
to worry. With q good crop
comes money in this section and
that is what is so much needed.
It is hoped that the good crops
will In reality come, taking an
abundance of the ever loved
dough with it.

Mr.. McClelIand Is
Now Proud Father

Mr.. Audebert McClelland, the
popular manager of the Opelou-
sas Motor Car Company, is now
the happiest man in his own lit
tie world. He is now the father
of a big girl, who was born on
last Friday, the 11th.
This girl is the first child re-
sulting from the happy union of
Mr.. McClelland and Miss Minnie
Durio, several years ago; there
is, indeed, reasons why Mr.. Nc
Clelland should be 50 proud, and
we congratulate him upon his
good fortune.

DIR. LAzARO PAYS ST.
LANDRY SHORT
VISIT.
Seventh District Congressman
Makes A Flying Trip
to His Home.

DR.. Ladislas Lazaro, thepopu.
lar Seventh Louisiana District
Congressman, was in this parish
for a few days during the week.
He made a flying trip to his
Southern home for the purpose
of renewing contracts with his
tenants, on his various planta-
tions in this and Evangeline par
isnes.
Whilst in st. Landry DR.. La
FARO did not have much time to
devote to his friends, by going as
usual to visit them, but he had
chats over the phone from his
country home with several per-
sons in Opelousas, thereby dis
playing that he has not forgot
ten those who helped him SO
much in fulfilling the ambition
of his youth.
Congressman Lazaro seems
well pleased with his new home,
and is still resolved to fight hard
for the right of his people in
dear old Dixie. . He has made
a noble fight to preserve rice
from the free list and also
fought strenuously for the sugar
interest. He has helped to keep
rice from being a dead industry
in this state and he worked in
cessantly with other Louisianians
not to let sugar go on the free
list. He is a scrapper and no
doubt intends to keep on scrap
ping.
Those who had the pleasure Of
seeing the Seventh District Con-
gressman say that Doc" is the
same kind, afable and friendly
man he was when only a country
Doctor in Grand Prairie.

0PELOUsAS CONQUERS
EUNICE Once MORE
Three Hundred Fans from
Here Go to Eunice to
Witness Battle.

The Opelousas and Eunlce
teams met once more on the
baseball diamond, on last Sun.
day, but this time the battle was
fought in Eunice. Some three
hundred fans from here went
over to Eunice on the Frisco
excursion to take in the game
and witness their idols cop the
battle with great ease.
Opelousas with her imported
PLAYERS went to Eunice and met
that team, which has but one or
two home boys in uniforms and
ran away with the game from
the beginning. Eunice had an
tlcipated beating Opelousas; con-
sequently the manager secured
the aid of several supposed to
be professionals" to play against
the local aggregation, but with
all of this Opelousas was an easy
victor. 1t was the biggest
farce of the season and Eunice
would have done better had it
used the same team, which
fought a fierce battle with Ope-
lousas on the local diamond a
few weeks ago. This battle
necessarily declares the Parish
championship in favor of the
0pelousas team.
With the score of 8 to 8 in
their favor the Opelousas boys
walked off the field triumphant
"; it was the third consecu-
tive game that the local team
had copped from her ancient
rival.
This must be said of the game,
however, that never before were
the Opelousas boys treated in
such a grand manner, in Eunice,
as they were on last Sunday.
Never before have the two teams
played with such a friendly feel
ing existing among the players
of both sides, and though Ope-
lousas defeated Eunice the Eu-
nice boys did not bear any hard
feelings against the local play
ers.
Tom Casey did the pitching
for the local team, whilst Casey
Myers went in the box for the
Eunice boys, and for the first
time in the history of baseball
the 0pelousas boys slammed him
out Of the box. Myers is a good
pitcher; in fact he is considered
one of the best amateur pitchers
in the state and for Opelousas to
knock such a man out of the
box must necessarily mean that
this city has one Of the best anna
teur teams that ever donned an
Opelousas uniform. Casey has
pitched many a game and was |
very seldom defeated; often
times he would have won his
game had his mates played good |
ball, but this time the sIuggers, /
who represented the Opelousas
team, got on to his balls and, |
soon made them go in all direc-
tons, in the outield.
The whole team was the star;
every man took care of his posi-
ton in fine form and did the
work which was expected from
him at the bat. There were no
particular stars.
Manager Loeb is preparing to
have games with all the best
teams in this state and will en-
deayor to have most of these
staged on the Opelousas dia-
mond. Tomorrow the Opelou-
sas team will return from Alex
andria, where they went to
tackle that team, and a game
with the strong Lake Charles club
Will take place at Comeau's Park.
a spirited contest is expected
and the fans should turn out en-
masse to witness the local boys
taSe the scalp Of the visitors.

UNCLE SAM SUPREME

The United States supreme court has rendered the country a splendid service in settling for all time the question of suprema cy between the federal and the state governments in the matter of the pure food law. The na- tion has a pure food law. and the states, or at least a good many, have also pure food laws and sometimes these come in conflict. The state wants to en force it's own mandates, and Tn doing so frequent conflicts arose but the supreme court, in a re- cent decision, has upheld the federal act as the supreme law of the land, on the grounds that congress has acted, and it's act must reach all the way to the consumer. Some of the states went into the courts to test the question, with the results as indi- cated. This decision will clarify matters, and enable those who have the enforcement of pure food laws to see clearly their duties, as well as their limita- tions, to. the end that conflict may be avoided.
