District Court.

4 criminal term of the District
Court opened here last Monday,
and the following Grand Jury
was impanelled: z. NJ. Boagni,
Foreman; Alex. Y. Richard. VIM.
Dejean, j. j. Barry, Frank Whar-
ton, j. I. Stewart, Jos. Beau, ,Jr. -,
j. W. Gardiner, |. r. Guidry. ?.
Robin, VIM. c. Miller and Am
broise Vidrine.
In the hands of such capable
men the criminal department Of
the parish is safe. Some Of
them have served before and are
familiar with the routine work of
the jury room, and all of them
being intelligent they will no
doubt transact business with dis
patch and correctness. We do
not suppose that trivial COM
plants will receive any attention
at their hands, such complaints
generally arising through pique
or other questionable motives,
and when entertained are eXpen-
slve to the parish and never re-
suit in convictions.

The proper spirit. Of progress
has struck the people Of Charlotte,

thrift.
The cotton mills and their col

er furnish employment to 1000
men. women and children, who
can earn in wages and salaries
mere than 100000 per annum.
The value of their textile COM
modify is $6,O0O,O0 annually.
lii the Immediate territory con-
tiguous to Charlotte, 800 cotton
mills are in operation, with close
on to 2,5O0,000 spindles and 62,-
500 looms, being an increase for
the past three years Of over
600,0 spindleS, !. gain of thirty
per cent, and neary 20, 1000 looms,

Register.

We publish in another column
the appointments made by the
Registrar for the new registra-
ton to be made in this parish.
According to the law of 1898,
every voter has to register if he
intends to vote. All those who
registered last year have to do it
again this year. No one will be
permitted to vote, even in pri-
mary election. if he has not reg
istered. All those who registered
last year under the 9TH clause and
all those who own $500 worth of
propery will be permitted to reg
i,ter without the necessity of
filling out an application. Those
who have not registered under
the 9Th clause and who do not
own $500 cannot register unless
they can fill out the blank appli-
cation to be furnished by tho
Registrar.
We trust that all veters who can
register will take advantage Of
the opportunity offered them and
that they will call on the Regis
trar when he will visit their res
pective wards and have their
names placed on the registration
books.

Walker E.. the infant son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Sabatier, died
this morning at s o'clock at the
age of ten months and twenty
four days. The little one was in
seemingly good health Saturday
evening and evidenced no indica-
ton Of coming illness. Saturday
night, however, it was notice that
he was not well. and physician
was summoned. Everything pos
sible was done. but on Sunday
night the two physicians saw that
the child could not live with the
fever AT the point it was. and
death came this morning. Brain
fever caused the untimely taking
away, and the parents have the
sympathy of many friends in their
bereavement daily Signal, Crow
