A TRAVELLERS TESTIMONY.
What He Carried on the Cars.
To Take when Travelling.

Every traveller knows that continuous
journeying on the rnilrond Is very apt 10
derange the system in some way. In spite
of springs and soft seats there Is a contin.
nous jar and vibration, which acts upon
the nervous system, and produces results
varying somewhat, according to the
strength Of the traveller or his predisposi-
ton TO some specific ailmeut. The most
common consequence of continuous car
riding is constipation. And this condition
invariably produces headache, and tends
to biliousness. ]. ]. Converse, st. Louis,
Mo- found q way to avoid the evil effects
Of constipation, to which he was subject
when travelling. He carried with him
"the pill that VIII cure constipation and
all its sequent sufferings. This Is what
he says;
Travelling on the cars tends TO consti-
patton with me, but by using DR., ], c,
Ayers Pills moderately, my bowels are

WATER WORKS.

At the saw mill IRE Wednesday
we had a fine illustration of the
value of water works in cases Of
fire. The st. Martins Oil Works
own and operate their own plant,
which covers all their premises,
and we dare say it is one of the
finest, and most complete system
in existance, in fact, we do not be-
lieve that the Oil Works could
burn with such splendid system.
They have a powerful pump
that either fills the tank holding
81, 900 gallons of water. standing
GO feet high, always ready to sup
ply the system of automatic
sprinklers, and the bydrants, il,
case of fire it forces the water
through the pipes direct, forming
a complete system of water work.
At the saw mill fire the big
pump of the Oil Works was work.
ed as slowly as it was possible to
run it, and with constant flow of
one and a half inch nozzle the
large tank was overlooking all the
time, and the engineer informed
us that if he turned the full power
of the pump it could supply five
streams and yet overflow the tank.
Now, if the town had centrally
located, plant only the size of
that of the Oil Works, it would
not cost much, and would offer
great protection to the whole town.
Think of a FIRE in some of our
frame building sections of our town
with a wind blowing as it was dur
ing the saw mill fire, where would
it stop, and what would have been
the damage?
Some years ago Mr.. F. Rousseau
the President of the Oil Works
had made to the town the liberal
offer of his plant free Of charge, to
be used in case of fire if the town
vould lay down the pipes.
The water supply for fire pro
,ection is serious one, and Ma
Till think seriously about it only

own will be swept out.

[ etters From The People.


The public schools OF st. Martin Pa
rish are admitted to be the poorest In
the state. Yet there are no good reasons
why the schools of this Parish should
not be as good as those of other Parishes.
The revenues of the state are prorated
as they are in other Parishes.
The financial condition Of the Parish
will compare favorably with that of any
parish in the state. without exception.
Hence, the root of the trouble can only
be traced to the administration of the
school board, which from accounts gi-
ven By themselves, are very Indifferent
to progress, and neglected and inactive
in their administration of the schools.
The Board complains that it receives
very little help from the Parish. this is
in a measure true, but it is not evident
that the Board have ever made any great
efforts to bring the matter in its proper
light either to the Police Jury or the
public. 1t is subject OF general COM
ment that the board does not know how
much money they owe, how much mo-
ney they have, or how much money they
may expect during the year, to run the
schools. and, consequently, how long
they are to open the schools during the
year.
This maladmiDistration OF the schools
has thrown the Board into debt, and to.
day, contrary to law, the schools are be
ing run on credit.
As to supervision, the schools are left
to take care Of themselves. and the board
knows no more about the progress and
conditions of the schools than they do
of the schools in the Philippine.
| published statement of the condi-
tiOE and finances of the schools would
be a means Of letting the people know
how the schools are managed, vet, such
a document cannot be made as no such
records are kept by the board, 80 say the
members.
The law provides that the Parish shall
be- divided into schools districts. and
that the funds collected from each dis
trict shall be appropriated for the schools
of that district. The Board has ignored
the rxistence of this law, and carry the
wh0le Parish as one district.
The Corporation of st. Martinville
should SEQ that the money it pays for
school purposes be expended in schools
that are entitled to it, and let all school
districts get the appropriation they are
entitled to. TT. Liable.

SAW MILL BURNED.

The large saw mill of Hall and
Burdin burned to the ground
Wednesday, at one o'clock in the
afternoon.
The fire originated in the saw
dust compartment, above the fur
mace, and in n seconds time, with
the strong south east wind that
was blowing at the time, the whole
mill was wrapped in the devour-
ing flames, and IN less than an
hour, this powerful mill, was a
mass CT rnin
When The fire broke out in the
saw dust room. Mr.. ]. j. Burdin,
ora r the prrurie' 'rs, and mana
ger. 80 49, with q half dozen
me,, ~ "a the mill, with the
use of their engine they succeeded
in putting out the fire, but the
strong nird had blown flaming
dust in the different parts OF the
mill, wien things looked we'll un-
der control, the hose that supplied
a stream of water from the mills
pump bursted, and a second after
the mill was at the mercy of the
flames, oormed to complete de-
struction.
The steam engine and the water
furnished by the water works of
the Oil Mills saved the yard of
lumber that at one time was in
serious danger.
The loss of this mill will be- a
serious financial blow to the own
ers aud it will also be felt by the
town, as it worked nearly all the
time, and employed large force of
men, aud at the end OF each week
hs | large pay roll.
1t required six months to build
this mill with a large force of men,
just year or two ago, at cost,
complete, of $26,OOO,OO, and the
insurance on the mill is only Sl0,-
10000, thereby showing a total
loss to the proprietors of the large
sum of 100000.
Mr.. Burdin is unfortunate with
fires, three years ago his single
mill burned, causing him a big
loss, three months after the house
he occupied burned, and now his
mill.
Mr.. Hall of the firm being dead,
will no doub. cause some delay in
rebuilding the mill if ii is the idea
of the firm to rebuild. We pre-
sumo they, or some one else will
rebuild, as this mill was doing a
fine business and AZ the time of
its destruction haG more orders
then The powerful plant could sup
ply.
Our hope is that the mill is re-
built IN a short time.
