CENTENARY CoLLEGE.-We are informed thai
The next session Of this highly popular and well
tabIished institution will commence on the LIST Of
March next
Its locality at jackson, in the Parish Of East Fee
liciana is one of the most beautiful and pleasant
not only in cur own but in any State; and we pre-
sumo no town, city or village in the Union, can
claim TO be more entirely exempt from all those
evil influences which SO greatly tend to corruptthe
morals Of young men at College.
The President of this institution, the Rev. R. H.
Rivers, is a man Of extensive learning and of the
highest order of genius. The junior editor of this
paper has had the advantage of knowing him long
From him he received Of his first lessons in the
abstrusities of the ancient classics from him, as
from father he received some of his first impress
sions as to individual moral responsibility in all
human relations, which have never been and can
never be effaced from his mind. The pupil now
pens these lines in remembrance of his old precep
tor, for whose learning, genius and high moral
worth he can never cease TO entertain the warmest
affection.
Under the judicious management Of President
Rivers, and the able faculty associated with him,
this institution presents strong claims the patron

The NICARAGUA QUEsrioN--After referring
to the rumcrs at Washington City in regard to this
question, the New York Herald remarks
Ever since the French survey, there has been
warm and growing desire upon the part of the
mercantile public OF Great Britain to have the
power Of levyng tolls upon the nations Of the earth
at the Isthinus. Had it not been for the railroad
panic in England, in 1915, the English would have
been alive to the necessity, for the promotion
Of her own interests, Of holding the keys to the
great gates Of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Our country has evidently the start of her in this
great enterprise and it is to excite the envy Of
nation that always has been dignifed with the
title of Mistress Of the Ocean. A far-sighted view
OF the whole question, however, prophesies the n-
ability Of England, or Of any other power to mar
row the great and important results which must
ensue from our ultimate rapid and intimate connec-
ton with China, Japan, India and Polynesia. Let
allay the rampant spirit Of party, and free
ourselves from the distracting noise OF faction and
anaticsm, and the commercial future Of this coun-
try will exhibit TO the world magnificent, solid,
substantial, and lasting spectacle of national great
ness. We have one thing, however, most strongly
to be guarded, and that is national rights and
privileges on the Pacific coast To surrender these,
and thereby iortify foreign power, busily intent
upon deyising schemes to check the growth Of our
enterprise, would be the weakest folly of the Gov
eminent. Knowing our rights, must maintain
them and sustain them at all hazards"

We have heretofore stated that the per centags
Of tax upon The inhabitants Of city must be in pro-
portion 70 the usnount on which the tax is levied.
Il follows therefore, that il from ignorance Of The
law, or from wliul withholding Of the capital en-
ploysI By the various parties doing business here,
lhs amount Of the assessment roll is reduced, the
saz on tina. which is represented must be increased
We believe but few will wilfully eyade the law
and that the difficulty arises rather from ignorsnce
We have therefore thought we might do good ser
vice to the public by publishing some extracts from
the law OF 1917 entitled IAN act to provide reve-
nue. for the S,aie.n We will, however, premise
,has the constellation Of our State provides that taxa
ton shall be equal and uniform that nc property Of
one kind shah pay heavier tax than any other
kind Of property Of equal value
Section l. Of Abe law referred to, defines the OBJ
ject Of taxation, and thai article defines those Objects
viz.
An lands or lots lying within the State, ipclu,
ding the value Of all improvements, cattle, horses,
mules, etc.
D. All slaves for life, or term Of years.
B. All horses, cattle, etc. not used on plantations
and not assessed in the value thereof
4. Ali carriages, whether for or hire.
3. Shares Of stock, or interest in steamboats,, ships
other water craft, whether at home OF abroad.
o. All money loaned on interest
2. All capital vested employed each year in
traffic or any kind Of commerce.
s. The capital stock Of all banks and other corpo-
rations doing business in this State not expressly
exempted from taxation by their charters granted
by tins State.
8. The property, Of whatever kind, Of all corpo-
rations, and above their capital stock and all
money or funds held by any such corporation in
trust deposit, or by persons in trust de-
post for persons corporations other than citizens
or corporations of this State and used in trade OF
commerce for the benefit Of such persons cor,
porations.
From the above it will be seen that the law i,
very fuland specific, and evidently intended carry
out the provisions Of the constitution, viz to max,
every kind of property bear its share of the public
burthens.
| The same law imposes on the municipalities the
duty to assess their taxes the rolls thus made
out, and consequently the rate Of taxation by the
municipalities is increased, just in the same proper
ton as any part Of the property contemplated by
said law to be taxed5is exempted or omitted.
Since writing the foregoing, we have learned thai
this subject brought before the Council Of the
Second Municipality last evening, and they will nc
doubt apply, as far possible for them to do it,
proper remedy.

chckory separately. that he may know exactly what
