FREE NEGROES.

Since 1907, it has been the policy of
Louisiana to exclude free negroes of other
States from it's territory. The mischief
which species Of population foreign to
our customs yet possessing extraordin-
ary facilities for intercourse with our
slaves might work, undoubtedly sng-
gested the stringent law then adopted
on this subject.
In 1880, the act of 1907. from neglect
having become as sword hid in it's scab-
bard, was revived with some modifica-
tions, adopted with view of rendering
strict justice to our free colored popula-
ton. Provision was made for the ex-
pulsion frotn the State only Of such as
had entered it subsequent to 1926.
The act declared that all free blacks
not in Louisiana previons to 1925, shall
be ordered to leave the State within go
days; if the order was disobeyed, the
party neglecting to comply shall be pro-
secuted and condemned to one year at
hard labor; at the expiration of which
time, 80 days shall be allowed for him
to depart. But If at the end Of that ps-
rod he is found in the State in contra
vention Of the law, he shall be sold into
garvitude

Yer Press, for the Parishes OF East and West
Feliciana and-Pointe Coupee This press is now
ahead OF all others in use, for durability, econo-
my strength. &C.; and it is the same that took the

The sale of the patent of this celebrated Press
Tor the different counties in the Southern States
mas been unprecedented: and it is generaily pre-

all other cotton Presses known
4 word as to the cost OF these presses 1t has
been proven beyond the least possibility of n
doubt. that there has never been Press invented
That can begin to compare with this one for cheap
ness Therefore, if there is any thing in economy,
they must certainly find great favor with the cot
ton planting portion of our community They
seldom get out of repair, are easily fixed and
taking all things into consideration. no Press
has eyer been thought of By any mechanic, that
IS destined TO prove of Sc great q benefit to the
cotton planter. as Provost Iron Screw and Ir-

In the language of the Nessrs Provost. aWe
claim for this Press many advantages over all
the Presses in uaa. The Press il we'll adapted to
any style OF Gin House, as it can be worked in

requires but little timber and must be durable.
Us all of its working parts are of iron. of great
po"eI, Us IL COMBINES hoIA the lever and the
screw, and so simple that the negroes can work
it with dispatch. We can press any weight of
bales required with ease.''
AS 1t Is more easy TO convince persons Of the
superiority OF this press by showing it in full
operation, this is to let planters know that Ihaye
one IN Bayou Sara, and will take pleasure in
showing it to any who may desire to purchase.
| will also contract to put up these Presses on
any plantation in the parishes OF Pointe Coupee

great superiority of Provost Press over all others
