To Erect More Sidewalks.

The city council has advertised
for bids for the construction of
several more bleks OF cement
sidewalks. This work will bring
the amount of mics of sidewalks
to nearly three.
A few weeks ago the contract
for constructing slnree miles of
walks was granted to hJessrs.
DeJersey & Naffand it expected
that the contractos will start on
the work within short time: if
they are successful again it will
not be long befoh the city will
have four additional miles of ce-
ment sidewalks.
The bid of Daersey & Naff
was the lowest eve. received by
this city for this work, it being
about one dollar pc. running foot
together with the alrbing.

LAzARO CERTAIN OF
BEING VICTORIUS
st. Landry Man Spends A
Few Days in Opelousas
Viewing Situation.

DR.. Ladislas Lazaro, during
his stay in Opelousas. a few
days this week, expressed conf
dence of being victorious at the
polls on Thursday August 9th,
when he will be a candidate for
reelection. The st. Landry man
has been spending a great deal
of his time in the western par
ish of the Seventh District,
where he reports conditions are
favorable to him.
Speaking to friends at the La
Combe Hotel on Tuesday DR..
Lazaro said I have never been
more confident of being re-elec-
ted than I am at present. After
making a tour of my district |
find that the majority of the
voters are satisfied with my rec
ord and believe. that / should be
reelected.
In the old Calcasieu parishes
DR.. Lazaro claims that his
friends are doing effective work
and it will be no surprise to him,
he says, if he carries every par
ish in the district.
DR.. Lazaro has as his oppo-
nent Hon. Aladdin Vincent, Of
Lake Charles. and both candi-
dates have been very busy dur
ing the past two or three weeks
in the interest of their candi-
.dacy. They are not carrying
however, mud-slinging cam
paign; on the contrary it is said
that this is the cleanest cam
paign ever Waged in this neck Of
the woods.
St. Landry's distinguished son
after spending a few days in this
city, talking over the situation
with his friends, left for other
points in the district; he ex-
poets to see practically every
voter in the Seventh by Thurs
day, August 9th, the day of the
election.

Caught In War Zone.

Mr.. Aldophus Sandoz, an old
resident Of this city, is reported
to be within the European war
zone. Mr.. sandoz LETT here
early in the summer for SWitzer-
land as his ultimate destination,
but en- route he was to visit va
rious places in England, France
and Germany. It is said that
the last time he was heard from
he was so-journeying in Germany.
No fear, however is entertained
for his safety, as assurances
come from across the big pond
that Americans will all be cared
for during this brotherly warfare
which may mean the changing of
the European map.

tions of the state are complain
ing that they are paying an un-
fair proportion of the state tax
es and it has long been deemed
necessary to revise the system
of taxation or assessments in
this state; there are several
ideas suggested along this line,
but the people seem to be divided
and the majority really do not
know exactly what is necessary
to adjust Louisiana's system OF
taxation.
Governor Hall has been advo-
eating his tax reform and it is
reported that, whilst he is meet
ing with approval in various sec
tions of the state, he is also
meeting with bitter opposition
in other portions of Louisiana.
1t is thought that the special
session of the state legislature
will not be called until February,
at which time it is expected that
the tax reform measures will be
discussed in it's every angle.

LEGISLATURE NOT TO
MEET TILL SPRING
Thought That Gov. Hall
Will Call special Session
IN February.

It is most probable that the
special session of the legislature
will not be called for by Cover
nor Hall until next February.
At a conference in New Orleans
several Of the Governors coun-
try and city followers advised
him that it would be best to post
pone the special session until the
late winter or next spring.
It was at first proposed to hold
a special session OF the legisla-
ture to pass on tax reform legis-
Iation SO that the amendments
could be placed before the vot-
ers at the polls at the November
election, together with seven
teen other constitutional amend
ments. This idea was given up
at the conference held in the
Crescent City last Monday even
ing, as being unWise, since the
majority of the voters through
out the state would not be suf-
ficiently Informed on these par
ticular reform amendments to
vote intelligently.

i'm The INTEREST
Of COTTON FARMERS
Business People Urge That
Farmers Be Careful With
Their Crop.

The business people of Opel
onsas last week announced that
an attempt was being made to
secure cotton buyer for this
city, whose duty it would be to
offer top market prices to the
farmers of this section, at the
same time forcing the market at
other towns in this portion of the
state to go up. This week these
people would give out the follow
ing suggestions to farmers and
ginners:
I. A farmer should pick his
cotton carefully one day and have
a place to spread it out, in order
to leave the morning dew fall on
it, after which the sun would dry
it. In this way it is claimed the
bloom will retain its brightness.
2. Farmers should see that the
gin, where their cotton is brought
should be of modern make, as it
is claimed that better results can
be obtained by going to up-to-
date gins.
3. They should see that every
bale ginned is weighed and
marked by the ginner; it is claim
ed that this is absolutely neces-
sary, for if the cotton should
catch the rain buyers would have
to estimate the loss on account Of
being wet and to be sure these
buyers would not stick themselves
in. Il the ginner's weight is on
/ the bale then the farmer gets
paid for his cotton according te
the ginner's weight. Farmers

PARISH SCHOOLS TO
open next MONTH
21st Of September Chosen
as Day For Opening of
Public Schools.

The parish school board has
chosen September 21st as the day
for the opening Of the public
schools in ST. Landry for the
1914-15 session. All schools,
whether high or graded, will be
thrown open on that date and
several thousand pupils will be
enrolled.
In Opelousas the school child
ren will have one of the finest
institutions of it's kind in the
state. The new st. Landry High
School building has been pro-
nounced not only by local people.
but by travellers, the most beau
tiful in Louisiana. With modern
up-to-date Accommodations, such
as steam heat, vacuum cleaners
and sanitary closets the Opel
ousas school building is up to the
notch.
It is expected that close to six
hundred pupils will be enrolled
in the local school, every indica-
ton pointing that Professor Pres
cott will have the most successful
year of his career, as principal of
the Opelousas High School. The
Eunice. Grand Prairie, Washing
ton and Melville high schools
have been arranged for a large
enrolment and it is thought that
st. Landry will be given the
best there is to get in the way of
a public school education.

and within forty eight hours the
burglar was in the hands of the
Beaumont officials.
On Wednesday morning Of
last week, the morning of the
robbery at the Lacombe Hotel,
Mrs. Remy Wallior sent a little
negro boy to close the windows
of a nearby empty cabin. When
the little negro arrived at the
cabin Valliere pushed a gun into
his face and compelled him to re-
main quiet until he dressed and
the negro boy was left dumb
founded as Valliere made his get
away. Running to the Wallior
home the black youth told Mrs.
Wallior the whole incident,
whereupon she rang up Mayor
Loeb, who in turn communi-
Gated with the sheriff's Office,
after which he notified Mr.. Horn.
Mr.. Horn left with the little
negro on chase for Valliere but
as soon as the burglar reeog-
nized the approaching negro boy
he broke out in a run, Whereup-
on Mr.. Horn fired away at him
with no result, excepting that
the fugitive dropped a suitcase,
which contained several things
presumed to have been stolen.
Mrs. Wallior again rang up
Mayor Loeb, whereupon Mr.. Me
ginley was sent to assist Officer
Horn, but the negro had already
made safe his escape.
Valliere will not be brought to
Opelousas to face the charges Of
burglary as the Beaumont police
assured the local officials that
the negro would get the limit of
the law in Texas, for horse steal
ing, which is twenty years.
