We learn from late issue OF the
Monroe News that Aessrs, Stubs
and Roussell, the eminent Monroe
lawyers, have declined to prosecute
the contest instituted by Benoit
against Col. Boatner's seat in Con-
gress. Notwithstanding the fact
that they were offered . fee OF $500
for their services, $1,000 Of which
was eaid TO have been contributed
by Capt. Pharr, these gentlemen
refused to prostitute their noble
profession by taking up the cause
Ut . blatherskite whose Chief in
terest appears to be to acquire .
little cheap notorietv, and to take
in the little $4,000 usually allowed
ny Congress to the unsuccessful
contestant. The people OF the fifth
district owe it to themselves, to the
good name of their district and to
every sentiment OF decency to
squelch this pestiferous demagoGue
whose slanderous charges and vile
aspersions against them are in
dulged in for the purpose Of bring
ing reproach upon the people Of the
district in order that he might be
made hero Of by the fire-eating
republican journals Of the North
Baton Rouge Advocate.

THE POLICE JURIES SHOULD
ACT PROMPTLY.

Under an act Of the Legisla.
ture Of sc, legislation for preser.
walton Of game aud fish is in the
hands Of the police juries and it is
to he hoped that they will take steps
Immediately to put . stop to the
indiscriminate destruction Of game,
which, II not checked, will soon
deplete our fields aud forests.
Commenting on this subject the
New Orleans States says:
"Now that legislation for the
preservation Of game and fish is in
the hands Of the police juries, those
hodies should pass stringent laws
on the subject and endeaver to
secure their Enforcement. The
practice OF indiscriininate destruc-
ton Of fish and game will soon de-
plete our waters of the one and oul
fields and forests Of the other, and
nothing will check it but the ex.
treme measures. The homely adage
that what Is everybody's bus'sssa
is nobody's business forcibay -
pliee in this case. No one care
to make personal enemies simply
for the promotion Of the public
good, and SD violat0rs Of the fish
and game laws 60 unwhipt Of jus
tice. Under the circumstances, Il
might be well to. in some way, re-
ward the informer, Objectionable a

The long drouth has played havoc

Between the Red and Ouachita

that not half . crop OF cotton will

Editor St. Tam,nany Farmer:

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Dear Slr-I am glad to let you know
we had much needed rain on the even
ing Of Tie LIST. inst, for which We return
many thanks to the weather clerk for
~ omnopitant Kindness. We are hav-
Ing . nice private School going on now
In our VILLAGE with Mr.. L. L. Shil-
lings 8 teacher, having daily average
Of twenty pupils. We wish to call a.
teution of the School Board and the
public to some plain facts Our School
Board has deemed it best to divide this
the Fifth Ward into four white schools
and one I0lored. Three white schools
below tho Bogue Chito river and one
above the river. They are namely, be-
low the river the Ben Williams, the
Simmons Greek and Heiten schools.
The Ben williams and Simmons creek
were formerly only one school, but for
some cause or another the School
Board divided the very same settlement
into two schools, with about fifty
scholars between them both. II the
Board would locate a school in the
center of the settlement, the children
could get to 1t within 80 miles from any
direction, and dispense with one teach
er's pay. Here Is the point we want
the public to know. The Heiten school
has 60 pupils and only gets half q
much school money with her 80 pupils
Is the above schools get. For instance,
when the Board gives the Ben Williams
and the Simmons Greek three months
or 75 dollars each, or $50 for 80 pupils,
they give the Heiten School with her
60 pupils three mouths or Is dollars.
Just the same amount.
We hope that the School Board will
reconsider the above matter. The
public school money is apportioned
to each ward according to the pupils In
the various wards, and II 1t Is deemed
best to 20 continue the Ben Will.
liams and Simmons Greek Schools, two
instead of one, the School money
ought to be apportioned to the four
white schools according to the amount
Of pupils each school has got, and
when the School Board has done that
they will have done according to law
and justice In the case, and we will cvcI
be thankful for the same, and oblige
yours truly,
