PRIMARY ELECTION SEPT. IL

Democratic primary elections have
been called all over the State for
September 18th, when party candi-
dates will be chosen for members Of
the State Board Of Education.
As victory in the Democratic
primary IL virtually an election 70
office in this State, and as place
on the State Board Of Education IS
highly important, it is necessary that
everybody gets busy to see that a
properly qualified man is chosen
from the Third District.
Fernand Mouton, politician and
business man from Lafayette has
entered the race, and from his long
public career needs no introduction
to Ibcrians.
Mouton will be opposed by Prof
Carnes, who though not so well
known in some parishes Of this dis
trict, enjoys an excellent reputation
in the places where he is known.
Prof. Carnes has been engaged in
educational work for fully quarter
of a century He is a graduate OF
our State University, and has held
among other important positions that
Of Principal Of the Morgan City
High School, head Of the mathema-
tics department Of the Southwestern
Institute at Lafayette, and has been
Secretary Treasurer of the Institute
for the past few sessions.
Prof. Carnes is intimately known
to number of our leading citizens.
who all speak most highly of his
character and ability.
Mr.. Mouton enjoys wide circle Of
friends throughout the district, 50
a pretty contest is promised.
Membership on the State School
Board is much more important since
the changes made by the recently
adopted Constitution, as many new
powers have been placed with that
Board.
Under the new laws the Board will
select the State Superintendent, who
has heretofore been elected by the
people. They will also have complete
charge Of all the State educational
plants, selecting all the presidents
forming the courses of study and
selecting all school text books.

CITY PARK PLAY GROUNDS

beautiful performance, and the lit

paper costumes, presented pleasing
appearance.

groom.
The bride was dressed in navy
hlue tricotine travelling suit with &C
cessories in sand color to harmonlze'
She is the beautiful and accomp-
lished daughter of DR.. and Mrs. w.
c. Gosling, and granddaughter OF
the late Judge Edgar Prustiy Gray
of Beaumont, Texas.
She was born in Beaumont but mas
spent her young lady-hood in this
city. She graduated two years ago
from the High School here and after
completing her course at Lafayette
Industrial Institute has taught IN
the public schools for two years.
She is an accomplished musician

BITULITHIC PAVEMENT FOR
ST. PETER STREET.

Tuesday saw the final date passed
in which petitions for paving of st.
Peter Street might legally be pres
ented to the Commission Council.
As only one such petition was
presented, and it contains more than
the required number of signatures,
there is nothing left for the City
Trustees to do but enter into con-
tract for the style Of pavement
therein called Bitulithic. Unless
some unexpected obstacle arises be-
fore that date, the Council will grant
the petition and sign contract with
the Southern Roads Company at its
next meeting.
Considering the wearing qualities
and all other advantages of Bituli-
Tho, and the very small additional
cost of this popular pavement, we
are not surprised to see it the
choice of the residents on St. Peter
Street, and congratulate them on
their good judgement in making this
selection.
What action the property owners
on Julia and the other streets in
cluded under the Jones specifications
will take has not been decided, but
Julia Street at least will very pro-
badly swing into line with st. Peter
in asking for the best value for their
money.
At any rate, it now seems certain
that all the streets under consider
alton, being six in number, are to be
paved without further delay, which
will put New Iberia in the lead a
mong all the cities of this size thr-
oughout the South.
