The people Of Avoyelles as well
as the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict should feel proud of their
choice at the last Congressional
election in having selected Hon.
James B. Aswell as their Repre-
sentative and the time will soon
be at hand when he will again ap-
pear before the voters Of this
parish soliciting their support for
his return to seat for which he
is we'll fitted and so justly de
serving.
The Enterprise makes this as
sertion that this District has never
before selected a man more active
and more vigorous than the Hon.
James. B. Aswell; man who has
always devoted his whole time and
attention to his District doing al
ways everything for the best in
terest of his constituents ard ever
ready to serve them at the first
call.
AS fitting example we may re
call his noble work during the
severe overflow of 1913 when the
whole section of lower Red river
and Bayou DIES GLASSES was devas
tated by a food never before
equalled. DR.. Aswell secured from
the Government provisions for the
people, feed for their horses and
planting seed tor the smaller
farmers. AS soon as he heard Of
these existing conditions he hurried
here at his own expense in order
to assist in giving the necessary
and needed relief to our people:
Look back and see whether or not
any other Congressman from this
District has ever done this9 He
has furthermore, since the very
day he assumed the duties of his
Office, given his personal attention
to every request made by each in
dividual citizen, working constant
ly and at all times to supply each
with seeds and literature bearing
upon each mans business or pro-
fession. He paid Avoyelles high
honor when he appointed one of
her most excellent sons to the
position of Democratic page in the
House of Representatives; he has
worked faithfully and impartially
to establish Rural Routes for the
Country people; he has secured
appropriations for Federal build
ings in the larger cities of his
/ District; all this certainly speaks
we'll for him and naturally entities
him him to just reward from
those to whom he has served so
well.
! DIR. Aswell may again boast
with pride over and above any
other man of his District, his ex-
ceIIent standing with the present
administration which enables him
to secure the needs of his people.
AS a proof of hiss inc rity and
desire to serve his people we may
point out the fact that only a few
months ago he refused the distin-
i guished position Of Superinten-
ideut Of Public Education Of the

The San Antonio Express, one
of the greatest of Southern good
roads opponents. tells as follows
what Texas is doing to provide a
system of good roads:
During the month of April
highway Improvement bonds were
authorized by popular elections in
six counties of Texas, amounting
in the aggregate to $3.50, 500.
This makes a total of So, 346, 500
in bonds voted by the taxpayers
of Texas during the first four
months of the year in behalf of
the good roads movement.
Here is direct and impressive
evidence of the holds the good
roads movement has taken upon
the people throughout the state,
and it is gratifying to note that
the prevailing idea is not only for
better highways, constructed on
scientific principles under skillful
direction, but to make the i'm
pfeVements thorough and perma-
nent.
This means an end of the waste
full methods heretofore employed
in temporary makeshifts that en-
tailed so much expense for repairs
when any effort ut all was made
for maintenance.
