The race riot that occurred in
New York last week was one of the
worst that has taken place in years,
and the one that happened in New
Orleans was not patching to it.
Over fifty negroes were wounded,
and it took the combined strength
of almost its entire police force to
quell the riot. Don't talk about the
South any longer after what hap
pened in the free State of New
York.

A NEW COURT HOUSE.

AT the last meeting OF the Police
Jury, held July 18th, it was decided
to do something with our old court
house-either to repair it or to build
new one. and for this purpose the
Police Jury requested that the citizens
and taxpayers meet with them and
discuss the question. Last Tuesday
the Police Jury met for this purpose,
and there were quite number on
hand, but not as many of our town
people as should have been present.
The secopd ward was well represent
ed with its prominent citizens. who al
ways take deep interest in every
thing that will benefit the parish.
The majority of those present went
to the meeting opposed to building a
new court house. They thought that
the parish was not able at the present
time to do it. and that by patching up
the old one and remodeling it to some
extent that it would answer for few
years more; but after architect Stanton
said that he considered the building
unsafe and liable to fall down at any
time and that it would take fully $4,000
to remodel it to the plans that be
submitted the majority took sensl'
bic view of the matter, that it would be
much cheaper to erect new building
than to expend this amount on the old
court house. The President OF the
Police Jury asked the views and op'n'
ions of every person present and we
believe that only three opposed the con
struction of new building.
The architect submitted plans for
new court house, the building to be D.
x618, two stories high. and to cost
sum not to exceed ~, 900, and after
lengthy discussion on the subject,
resolution was passed that the plans o.
MIR. Stanton be accepted, with certain
changes in the interior which will ado
to the convenience of the court officials
The parish is perfectly able TO erect
this building without increasing the
rate of taxation, and it can be paid fol
without any hsrdships on single tax
payer. Such parish as East Carroll
should have a handsome court house
besides, the town has improved sc
much in the past few years that the
present building is not such one a
we should have.
The Police Jury deserves the thank:
of every one in the parish for theil
decision in having Il new building. and
we hope that there will be no delay il
having it erected.
