OUR ROAD LAWS.

s'CoURTY OFFICIAL CORRECTED BY ONE

 To thesAge- -Herald
 If .tCounty Official'' would take the same Trouble to inform himself with refer ence te the special road laws of Jeffe son county that he has taken to denounce the tphysicians living in different parts of the county' for what he terms "violating the law and deirauding the county of many good day work' he might perhaps be belters county cfficial."
 Secaon 1896 (63O) quoted by "County OficiaP' IS a general law, which, so far as I know applies to every county in tie state, excepE Jefferson, and is supplement ted by sectioR 1 of special road laws for this county, which reads as follows: "All females, guards and persons having con- trol oi convicts, all township school trustees, all male persons under IS and over 45 years of age, all maimed and disabled persons who shall procure certificate of such disability from some licensed practic- ing physician, and all male persons be- tween the ages of IS and 45 who shall pay to the.justice ofthe peace designated by the court of county commissioners in the pre- oinct tp which the road lies, and if there is no justice of the peace iu said precinct, then to such justice as the court of county commissioners may desig nate, as herein after provided, B, are exempt from work. ing the public roads in Jefferson county; provided, that such payme shall not ex- empt such persons from work in opening new roads and serving as overseer and ap- petitioner; and provided further, that 10 person shall be- liable to work the public roads in said county until he shall have resided thirty days in said county.'

CONSERVATORY oR MUSIC.

New Orleans is alive to the importance of a conservatory of ID usic, and should enthuse Birmingham on the subject. The Daily States has @ ringing editorial on the sub ject and produces arguments which apply 10 Birmingham as well as New Orleans:
 It is a crying shame that New Orleans has not had such an institution long ago. A city which boasts of its musical culture, and which has alone of all American cities sustained a regular season of opera for years past, ought not to lag behind north ern cities in providing facilities for earn- ing the art of music, aud especially in fos- tering taste for symphony music, which is to opera music what operatic music is 10 ballad singing. Cincinnati, Boston and other northern cities, have colleges of mu sic, which derive their support largely from southern pupils, who are compelled to go so far from home and friends, almost like explorers in a strange and inhospitable country, for lack of proper facilities in the south. Our climate is much better suited to the study of vocal music than the cold and trying attitudes of the north, and the sunny temper and artistic spirit of our people ought to make New Orleans the most attractive spot in the United States to the muse Of music and all her devotees, and we predict that it will speedily become so if our liberal patrons of art will gener- ously join with Mime. Samuels in establish ing grand college of music, on the scale N hich her plans call for.
