Our New State Road.

The Martinsburg Evening Journal
quotes Division Engineer B. E. Gray
as saying that he believed the Sta e
Road Commission had reached a
virtual decision as to the road to Join
Martinsburg and Charles Town, and
that the route proposed would salts
fy all the factions in Jefferson county
which appeared at hearings before an
arbitration committee, supporting di-
vergent views.
If the commission shall be able in
its wisdom 10 satisfy al parties m
terested in this matter we will take of
our hat to il in admiration and awe. We
will say for it, however. hat il is giving
very careful consideration to the SUBJ
ject. and we have confidence that its
judgment will be in conformity with
the law and the principle OF the great
est good TO the greatest number.
The Journal also says that the use Of
concrete instead Of macadam or pene-
tration asphalt in the first links Of road
to be built in the State wide system in
this section by the State Road Com
mission was indicated as probable by
Division Engineer Gray, when he de-
clared the receding prices in concrete,
evidenced in the November bidding in
contracts and expected to continue
through the winter. made the concrete
road more economical from the stand
points OF cost Of laying, durability and
maintenance costs for this section

WELL KNOWN coLoREp MAN
DIED HERE LAST SUNDAY

Jules A. Perrodin, aged So years,
9 months and days, one of the best
known colored men of this section,
died at his farm, about five miles
southwest of this city last Sunday
morning and was buried at the Cath
Ole cemetery Monday morning.
The deceased was native of this
city but has resided on his farm for
more than quarter of a century.
Years ago he was trusted employe
of the old firm of ]. Meyers & Co.,
acting in the capacity of driver of the
firms wagon, hauling cotton from the
storeyards to the railroad station. It
is recalled, that the three-horse team
he used was always kept as slick and
fat as any team seen anywhere, thus
attesting his close attention to live
stock. He was highly esteemed by
his old employers and when he de.
cided to leave town and farm they
urged him to do so and rendered
whatever assistance they could in the
venture.

WORK ON STORE ADDITION
Is NEARING COMPLETION

Work on the new addition to George
Abdalla's store on Main street is rap
idly nearing completion. The brick
work is entirely finished and at pre-
sent the carpenters are putting on the
finishing touches in the interior.
When completed, this forty fott addi-
ton to this store will make it the
largest in the whole parish. 1t will
add greatly to the already large floor
space, which viii give room for many
new lines, as well as allow for in.
creased space for others.
Mr.. A. Abdalla, buyer for the Alb
dalla store, is in st. Louis at present
where he is purchasing the additional
lines and also filling out his present
stock. A letter to his father receiv-
ed Thursday, stated that conditions
in st. Louis are opportune for buying
and that he is securing some wonder
full merchandise at good prices. He
expects to return next week, when
he will give his attention to the rear
ranging of the store as the new stocks
arrive. A formal opening of the new
enlarged store will probably be held
after the middle Of August.

The two-game series of ball with
the Bunkie team was pulled off Sat
urday and Sunday before large
crowds of fans from here and the
neighboring town. The visitors had
a splendid lineup and played fast,
clean ball but when it came to MAX
ing scores, that was another question.
They were shut out both days, the
score Saturday being to 0, that of
Sunday to 0.
The game Saturday was so close
and interesting that the Bunkie fans
promised to change the situation the
next day and win the game. They
put another pitcher in the box Sun
dway and he showed up slightly bet
ter but the opelouseans got three
runs to the visitors goose-egg.
Many people from Bunkie motored
here Sunday morning for the game.

win, but the contest was so clean ana

that they had nohing but words Of

NONRESIDENT TAX LIST
PUBLISHED LAST WEEK

Sheriff and Tax-collector Thibo-

last Saturday the notice to non-resi-
dent and unknown owners of the prop

list is perhaps the largest ever print

five columns of newspaper space and
is set in very small type. The regular
list of delinquents will be printed
shorty and will run for six weeks be-
fore the property will be offered at
public auction by the sheriff to sat,
isfy the claims of state and parish
for unpaid taxes for the past year.

MAKE LONG. TRIP. IN
VERY SHORT TIME

The automobile has become SO
much a part of the ordinary daily
life that little thought is now given to
the many unusual and strenuous uses
to which it is constantly being put,
and to the very remarkable manner In
which it stands up under every Sc
we're test.
A party of Chicago business men
at luncheon in their club discussed
this matter, and as a result bet was
made on the question of crossing the
continent by motor car. L, B. Miller
manager of the Victor X-Ray corpora
tion. undertook to make the trip to
San Francisco inside of ten days
driving his standard Elgin SIX
coupe. equipped with Goodyear cord
tires. the same car he used in his
business every day. The distance OF
2.4S5 miles was made in seven days
from the time he left Chicago. The
trim was made without mechanical
trouble of any kind, and the Chicago
air was still in all the tires at the
end of the journey. 4
This is only another one OF the
miracles of the present that ordinarily
go unnoticed by reason OF the ready
acceptance Of the idea that anything
is possible with the automobile.

The locals will leave the end of the
week for Patterson where they have
a series matched with the Patterson
Greys, the same team that played
here several weeks ago, winning over
the locals in the second game, the
locals winning the first. Patterson,
it is claimed, won because a league
pitcher was rung in and he used the
emery ball." something outlawed in
many of the major leagues. This pit
cher was imported here for the oc-
casion, and now that he is not with
the Pattersonites the Opelouseans
expect to get revenge in the coming
series True they are going to play
on the enemy's grounds and that may
have some effect on the games.
The locals will be on the road off
and on for the next month, but will re-
turn here and play several schedul-
ed games with visiting teams While
out on the tour they expect, besides
Patterson, to play at Glenmora, Plaque

places where there are said to be
strong teams. Then, every now and
then. it is rumored that Lake Charles
viii finally conclude to come here some
date latter part of the present month
and give the locals another SERIES
This is the series that the fans ara
looking forward to with much ex-
pectations, for they feel sure that once
the Lake Charles team can be gotten
where there will be no chance for
partisan umpire to render decisions
the tale of the game viii be entirely
different. Lake Charles is seldom
beaten on it's home grounds, but when
it leaves home-and that is very sell
dom-they are defeated pretty often.
They went to Monroe and played
three games, losing two; they went to
Port Arthur and were trimmed there;
they were beaten by Marksville at
Bunkie andl again once out of three
by Marksville at Lake Charles.
This is the outfit that the opeou-
scans wish to tackle where all things
will be equal and where the famous
Lake Charles umpire won't be able
to get in his rotten decisions.
All things in the opelousas team
are now moving smoothly, with Cap
tain mix" Thompson's guiding hand
at the helm. mix" is showing up as
a real captain and he says he is go
ing to handle the team for a long
streak.
