The Fair Association.

A large number of gentleman
from different parts of the parish
met at the court house Wednesday
evening last for the purpose of
re organizing the Claiborne Parish
Fair Association. The question
was discussed by different citizens
and with unanimous consent, il
was agreed to re-o:ganize the
Association. A temporary board
OF directors was organized. The
par ya.ue of the shares Of stock
was fixed at $500 each, and in q
few minutes 500 shares were
subscribed by those present. From
tho present indications there will
be no trouble iii raising the amount
necessary to carry on and operate
the Association. The old associa-
tion still holds control of the nine
acres at the old fair grounds. 1t
will not cost great deal to fence
it, build q race track, and suitable
buildings. The project is al
ready a success if our enterprising
citizens will lend their help and
influence. We haven't room IN
this issue to comment extensively
ON the merits and advantages of
such an institution. It's apparent
to every thinking man that q Fair
for Claiborne parish would be of
great benefit to every citizen,
especially those engaged in farm
ing and stock raising. 1t gives a
gieater impetus to intensive and
scientific farming and excites pride
and emulation in the minds of
those engaged in raising fine
stock.
While the town of Homer will
take some intersstln the matter
and expects to derive some benefit.
still the enterprise is gotten up by
the farming citizens Of the parish
and is intended to benefit every
body interested IN the development
and prosperity of the parish.
The books are now open for the
purpose Of issuing new stock with.

Meeting ofStockholders and Di-
rectOrs of Claiborne college.

Pursuant to a previous an
nouncement, the stock hoiders Of
Claiborne College met in the
court house June the 25th. There
were, together with the proxies,
fifty one members present. A res
olution was passed authorizing
and requesting the Directors 10
mortgage the property fer q sutli-
cient sum to place 1t in good re-
pair, The committee appointed
to examine the buildings and re-
port relative to the repairs need
ed, made their report, which in
substance, was as follows: They
found a slight bulge in the south
wall, which was confined to the
outer layer of brick and in no wise
endangered tie building. They
recommend that this bulge be re-
paired, that there be new station
ary blinds, and that the plaster
ing he torn off and the house cell
ed instead. The charter was then
amended, all the stockholders and
proxies voting in favor Of the
amendment, so as to increase the
par value Of the shares from $25,-
90 to 500, 90 each. This increas.
cs the capital stock from $2500
to $1,000. The amendment fur
ther provides, that all the old
shares of stock be revoked and
called in, and that new certificates
of stock issue to the present stock
holders with an Acknowledgements
OF twenty-five per cent. of it paid.
That as a means Of raising o rev
cnue, the Directors are Empowered
to make an assessment on each
stakeholder for 10 per cent of it's
par value, ferring on the board
Of directors, the power to forfeit
the stock Of any one who ncglects
to pay his assessment in thirty
days from time Of notice, provided
that no two assessments be made
within less than six m onths.
After tie stockholders adjourn
ed the Directors met and ordered
an assessment Of $1,000 each, as
above provided. Ifthe stockhoId-
ers all comply with this, it will
raise about $4,000, which is a
sufficient amount to put the build
ings and grounds in good re-
pair.
A committee was also appointed,
consisting Of j. A. Richardson and
W. A. Johnston, to procure peti,
tioners OF the citizens OF the town
OF Homer, requesting the Town
Council to order an election at an
early date, to take the senses Of
the people on the question of vot.
ing tax to maintain the schools
OF Homer.
We are glad to see so much in
tcTest manifested in building up
the school interests Of the town of
Homer and community. We hope
that the interest of the people will
not abate, and that Homer will
ere long become . great education

OdiOus Appointments.

The words Of commeni'ation of
the presidents course in matters of
appointments and his government
al policy, uttered by Southern
Democrats, have scarcely ceased
toecho till he has sLigmatized his
administration thus far with odious
and extremely Objectionable ap,
pointments. 1t was announced
from the cabinet along towards
the first of Harrisons' administra.
tion, that no celored man would
receive any Federal appoin tment
IN the South. About this time
the new president was the recipient
of many high sounding ahd we'll
spoken encomiums from those
who advocate the ascendency of
the white race over the black in
political matters. But since that
time he has departed from his
articles of faith, and violated with
lmpunltY the platform of princl-
pies which he caused to be an
pounced from the executive de-
partment. He not long since
appointed colorcd man as post.
master IN Bay Saint Louis Miss.
a city of several thousand inh abb
tants. In this case strong
protest was uttered, not to the
appointment Of a republican, but
the citizens in every class of life,
prayed that they be spared the
toleration Of the negro republica n
in such conspicuous and respon.
sible position. But their prayers
ayailed them nothing, and the
negro was thrust upon them.
But the most recent act OF the
new president, which the people
of this state and of the parish OF
St. Taminy in particular are
called on to resent, Is the appoint
ment Of the alien negro as post
master OF Coyington La. The
postmaster removed was nonparti-
san in political matters, a white
man and a citizen of The town of
Covington identified with the
interests of the people there. In
place ofappointing white repub-
lican or even coloredman from
the town Of Covington, he goes
over into Vaudeville and selects
for this responsible position a
negro who is in every respect
obnoxious TO The better class of
people who receive their mail at
the Covington office, whether they
be black or white.
AS a matter Of course our adj
verse criticisms will not swecre
the president nor effect the policy
of his administration one whit,
still we cannot refrain from point
ing out the Inconsistencies and
failures of an administration
which two months ago we were in
clined to applaud.

Justice Field has arrived in Cal
ifornla and will remain on the
coast until September next, dur
ing which time he will hold Court
in California and other Pacific
Coast districts.
In reply to a S. F. Post report
sr's question as to how the Presi-
dents appointments were regarded
in the E,st, he replied:
"Well, some of them are very
satisfactory. President Harrison
is very nice gentleman who is
doing the very best he can to give
q good administration. Speaking
of appointments 1 can say this,
that if the people of California had
united on any one good man they
would have certainly been given a
Clbinst position. For instance,
there is Mr.. Swift. He and the
President were close friends, and if
California had unanimously asked
fo: his appointment IN the Cabinet
ne would have been the man,
instead of having been given the
japanese mission. That is the
trouble with Cal fornians. They
are so often divided on opinions in
such casss. You ask me if Attor-
ney General Miller is to succeed
the late Stanley Matthews as
Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court, and all can say
is that l know nothing about the
matter other than that Mr.. Miller
is very est Unable gentleman.

ent says: What would be the
result if the great Fordyce dam
should give way? 1t might not
result in 5000 deaths, but it
would sweep all from the dam to

emsugh was three miles in length,

it back. The Fordyce dam has
wall ITO feet high and the lake
behind it extends back distance
of six mites, holding double the
quantity of water this Conemaugh
did. It Is affirmed that there is no
danger OF it ever giving away,
because il is built of stone and
solid masonry; but circumstances
may arise that would break it. An
earthquake for instance, would
open it and let the foods escape.
The Nevada City Herald, com
