Clarence Adams, son of Mrs.
Adams of our town, a young man
employed by the S. ?. railroad at
Morgan City, while on duty last
Tuesday night, was called upon,
by a lady in the waiting room, for
protection from several young
men under the influence of liquor,
who attempted to eject her from
the depot. Adams demonstrated
with the young men, but they
paid no attention to his remon-
STRANGE, and some of the crowd
assaulted him, hitting him on the
head with a pistol and handled
him very roughly; as soon as
Adams could defend himself he
drew a pistol and fired, the shot
taking effect in the body of young
Byrne D. Crandall, who died
shortly after. Adams came to
Opelousas to deliver himself up to
the sheriff here, fearing mob vio-
lence from the hoodlun element,
and returned to Morgan City
Thursday morning with Sheriff
Swords and a deputy from St.
Mary parish. a
Clarence is we'll known in Ope-
lousas, having resided here before
he went to work for the railroad,
and he has the reputation of be-
ing a welI-behaved, sober and
industrious young man, and the
killing is generally regretted. =
We clip the following article
from the Florida Parishes, be-
cause it fully voices our senti-
ments:
'sThe next thing to be done is
to have the State tax reduced.
This can only be done by an act
of the legislature to affect the
whole State, and we earnestly
urge our law doctors to pass such
a bill next summer. All over The
State assessments have been in
creased, which means more mon
ey for the State. As it was the
State had ample funds to meet
all obligations and retire bonds
besides. Now, with d general in
crease in assessments all over the
State, the revenues of the State
will be greatly augmented. Based
on the assessment of 1901, Tan
gipaho parish will pay about $4,000
more into the State treasury than
it did for 1900. Suppose ail the
other parishes show an increase
Eof even one-half this sum, it will
mean an increase in The State
revenue of over $3.50, 1000. We
believe it /. better to have Il higher
assessment all over the State and
lower the rate Of taxation. II the
State tax is to remain at mills,
we favor lower valuation on
assessable property. m

A Deserved Compliment.

It is seldom that anyone oc-
cupying position wherein it is
necessary to deal with the general
public ever succeeds in pleasing
everybody, however great the eff
fort he or she may make to do so,
but there are some few instances
where some fortunate beings, by
their tact, courtesy, accommoda-
ton and strict attention to duty,
have succeeded in, as near as pos
sible, satisfying all. Miss Anna
Hollier, who up until recently
when she resigned that position
to become secretary of the Board
of Trade, was "hello girl'' at the
Bertha Telephone office, seems to
have succeeded in doing this, and
a few days ago a number of the
patrons of this line presented her,
through Mr.. Austin Fontenot, a
purse of $56.50raised by voluntary
subscription ainong themselves, in
token of their appreciation of her
service while in that position.
The subscription list was headed
by the following complimentary
words: sss..ss
