There is an interesting case
pending in the Supreme court at
Shreveport this week, appealed
from Desota parish, involving the
question as to whether or not po-
lice juries can be compelled by the
school boards to levy a tax for the
aid of public schools. A recent
act Of the legislature confers on
the police juries the right to levy
a tax for this purpose, which shall
not be less than one AID a half
miles. 1t is contended that it is
only permissivc and discretionary
with the police juries and that
they cannot be forced to do : thing
which is merely discretionary and
not mandatory. We are Of the
opinion thatitis purely discretion.
airy with the police juries as it has
been ever since 1877, however the
Supreme court is to decide that
question.

Surely an unfair proportion Of
earths sorrows has fallen to the
lot Of this community in the last
few days. The death Of Capt. w.
G. Coleman. the aged friend Of US
