name spelt wrong in the gazette. 1t
occurs in a very graceful editorial al
fusion to the death at the Charleston
camp of Lieutenant Hector r, Swift Of
Rice Lake. The name in several places
Is spelt smith but Notwithstanding
this error. the soul of the hero goes
marching gTandly on, Lieutenant
Swift is a nephew Of Captain p. H.
Swift who won honor in the war Of
the rebellion and is now one OF the
many respected veterans whose EN-

REVETMENT AND LEVEES.

A large meeting of representative
citizens of our parish was held at the
court house on Tuesday for the pur-
pose of interesting the Mississippi
River Commission in The revetment
above the town of Providence, and
10 call the attention of our Levee
Board to the dangerous situation at
Salem from the rapid caying at that
point. Col. Z. w. Constant was
elected chairman and Mr.. L. Aschaf-
fenburg secretary. Ourwide awake
Leyee Commissioners Hon. j. E.
Ransdell made a brief address ex-
planning the situation above Provi-
dence and at Salem and offered reso-
lutions which were unanimously
adopted and are in print elsewhere.
These resolutions refer to and en-
dorse resolutions on the same subject
which were adopted on Tuesday by
the Police Jury and Aldermen oil
Providence at the suggestion of Mr..
Ransdell, who has been untiring IN
this matter. We understand that
the River Commission has allotted
$40, 1000 for protection at the head
of the revetment and We are sincere
" thankful for this amount; but in
our opinion it is wholly inadequate,
and we sincerely hope that our Sena
tors and Congressman will provide
the necessary means so that the
Commission can extend the revet
ment 5000 or 1000 feet up the rive
and thereby give us permanent pro
lection.
We trust our efficient Levee BoarC
will devise some plan to hasten worl
on the Salem levee, for crevass
there would be terribly disastrous I
our parish and state. We eanno
afford to take any chances in thi
matter. We are told that seye
crevasses have occurred at Salem 0
very near it and the banks there cav
in high water as bad as in low
There is now less than 500 feet o
bank, and the caving is continuous
This leyee may not go before tn
coming high water, but the stroff
probabilities are against it, and wit
the millions at stake in East Carol
and the lower parishes we mus
take no risk.

See. g. Be it further ordained. etc.. That
when two or more kinds of business are
combined, except as provided in act III OF
acts of the General Assembly of 1898, q
separate license shall be collected for each
kind of business.
Resolutions were offered by Alder
man Beard and adopted by the Board,
asking that the Mississippi River Com
mission take some action in regard to
the caving bank above our town; stat
ing the loss that would be sustained in
the event that new levee had to be
built by the throwing out of valuable
plantations and the destruction of the
town of Lake Providence. and in
structed the secretary of this board to
forward TO the Senators and Congress
man from this district copies of said
resolution, and also copy to the
President of the River Commission.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned.
