Capt. Freenan's statement.

Capt. H. r. Freeman, of the steam
ship "HudsOn" of the Cromwell
line, reported in tie NEWS of Sun
day in the Gulf stream, off Savannah,
in distress, and later, off Charles
ton, where he arrived last Thursday night,
in a communication to the News asks that
the report be corrected. The schooner
''City of Nassau" which spoke the steam.
ship, brought the report to Brunswick
and word was brought from there to
Savannah asking that a tug be sent to
her assistance. Capt. Freeman states
that the Captain OF the schooner had no
authority from him to make any state
ment. Ee asked him to telegraph the
owners of the "HudsOn," in New York,
that he would put into Savannah under
sail. He gave no orders for tug. In
regard to provisions, the Captain states
that he sent a letter to the schooner ask
ing if he could purchase provisions in
order to protect himself against any un-
due detention. The letter stated that he
had 100 souls on board and the vessel had
lost her wheel and would sail for Savan-
nah. He had plenty of provisions on
board, such as they were, but thinking
the schooner, being from Nassau, might
have plenty of delicacies, wanted IL pos
sible to purchase some. He was then in
latitude 81 north and on the western edge
of the Gulf stream, and would Lot have
taken assistance if offered. He had TWEEN
ty days provisions, and plenty of sails
and awnings. Having head and westerly
winds he found he could not make Ivan-
nah. but could Charleston, and arrived
off the bar there at O'Clock Thursday
night. The Captain further says that he
burned the company's signals of Charles
ton bar instead of off Tybee, as stated in
the Charleston papers. He showed no

Communicated,
Notes from EdgeHly.

On the evening of the 10th inst, in
the Big Woods settlement, near the
residence Of Mr., James A. PeFkins,
was witnessed the closing exercises Of
one of the most interesting and sue
cessful schools that has ever been
taught in that settlement. Tho prin-
cipal, Miss Cordie Watkins, from Su-
gartown, has been engaged in the
capacity of teacher here for the short
term of only three months, during
which time she has done much in dis
sipating the gloom of doubts and I'M
certainties from the minds Of the
youthful intellect, and inculoating in
stead thereof a true knowledge Of
those branches Of education which oc-
cupied her attention while here, BY
her many accomplishments and close
attention to business she has en-
grated herself into the love aud favor
of those for whom she taught; by her
6rmness of purpose aud gentloness of
disp osition she has gained tho respect
and confidence Of her students, aud by
her unusual happy and cheerful dis,
position she has won for herself the
esteem and admiration Of all with
whom she met
Tho exercises were witnessed by the
patrons and friends of the school, all
Of whom expressed their entire salts
faction at the evidences of tho success
which has attended her efforts The
scholars in their reviews of every
branch in which they have been en-
gagged acquitted themselves very credit
ably indeed And on the day fellow
ing, tho school was houored with
picnic or basket dinner at the bridge,
on the Houston creek, at which were
assembled representatives from differ
ent parts of the parish. The day was
beautiful, the scenery picturesque, with
nothing TO disturb the peace and quiet
Of the day except the laughter and
cheers Of the light-hcarted, And, as
a social event, we can safely say, II ID
a time which can be reverted 10 with
pleasure, BY all who participated ii

Poll Tax and How Collected
Minden Tribune-Democrat,


Several gentlemen interested in the
public schools in the parish have asked
us if there was no way provided by
law to enforce the payment of the poll
tax,
Section 54 of Act 90 of 1882 seems
to have been intended especially for
that purpose. 1t reads as follows:
Hl}e it enacted, ETC., That the tax
collector or sheriff, is authorized to
sell any growing or gathered crops, or
shares therein and To proceed in the
same courts to procure the garnish-
mont of any salary, compensation, or
reward for personal services, or Of any
obligations, rights, credits or debts,
due to the tax debtor, or in any form
whatever, whenever snch seizure or
garnishlnenl may he necessary to cob
lcct the taxes assessed and no deposit
for costs shall be required in such
cases.
This clause gives ample power 70
enforce the payment Of poll tax N
most cases. II gives the right to gar
nishee wages OF salary, or debt OF any
sort.
We hope The Sheriff will begin 10
execute this law this fall without favor
or Affection, for Che present year and
three years back taxes, let the sher-
iii begin alphabetically in Ward 4 and
We verify believe TINT most Of these
poll tax payers win come up and pay
to save costs, bpt if they DO net let
him proceed steadily on to the end.
The collection Of the poll lakes dne
for three years ought 70 give the pub.
lie schools an additional amount Of
$4,000 for another year,

pay the lawful taxes assessed against
him. II u D debt le owes biz country

few lines from this point The health
of this section is exceedingly good,

Of the parish, which is very enconr-
aging.

doomed up, and viii soon be ready to
deliver, provided purchasers can be
found. There have not been any logs
hauled so far, aud the prospects are
that there will be few. !
| must boast on the prosperity Of
our section. Messrs. w. A. Kirkwood,
s. r. Kingrey, and the hands under
their charge, deserve great credit for
the most excellent work they have
done on the public road leading from
Lake Charles to Sugartown, via Pearl.
Three good bridges have been built
one across Big Marsh and one across
Little Marsh bayous, aud the third
over lagoon in the Barnes Creek
section, and have got the road in
splendid condition from Big Marsh to
Barnes Creek and we hope the over
seers above and below us will take up
the work and carry it through TO the
parish line, each way, 50 that VIC can
boast of having one good road in our
parish.
On the 18th ult. our highly esteemed
citizen, Mr.. G. NJ. Gossett, crossed
Barnes Creek at this place, with a fine
flock of sheep, numbering about 1870
head, which he had purchased out
East, am glad to see him invest in
the stock business, as his enterprising
abilities will no doubt be Of great adj
vantage to our stockmen, as he is
very fine in taste and great on inn
provements. If few more of our
good citizens would leave off the slash

business, we would have much bet

is of material interest TO tax collectors:
The adjudication of land TO the
State by tax collectors is authorized
by Act l07, of 1884, section 8, which
amends section SO Of Act SO, Of 1889,

The fact Of sale adds nothing to the
force and effect of the adjudication,
but is intended only TO afford proof Of
it, So the adjudication diVests what,

taxpayer had, and in order to give
proof Of title to the State, district,

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense Of
weight In the back, lOiHs and lower part Of
the abdomen, causing the patient TO suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times, symptoms Of indi-
gesti0n are present, latuleney, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is common attendant,
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield b9 At

affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the

LICENSES-QUESITON FOR THE
PEOPLE TO SETTLE.

BY the act passed at the last session
of the legislature it is provided that
the question may be submitted to the
legal voters to determine the price of
liquor licenses, Without going into the
details of the law, it's chief provisions
are as follows: The clerk of every
city, village or town, on the applica-
ton of twelve legal voters, may give
notice of special election, to be held
on the third Tuesday of September, at
which time majority may fix upon
the amount which shall be paid for
licenses in each city, village or town.
BY the act passed at the last session,
the price of license required in the
country towns is 500. This amount,
by vote of the people of the town,
may be raised to either $3.50 or to $4OO.
In this city, by the last state law, the
price of license is 5000; but by vote of
the people may be raised to $3.50 or to
$500.
Such is a brief outline of the law,
which Las many important provisions.
The amount fixed upon for license in
each such city, village or town, shall
remain in force three years from and
after the first Tuesday in May next.
The law provides that the question of
determining the amount of license
shall be submitted at the end of every
three years, and no other question
shall be entertained at such election.
If the people of this city, or of the
towns in the county, desire to take any
action on the question of licenses it
will be necessary to move soon. If no
action is taken the price of licenses as
now established by law will remain in
force.
