OUR IMPROVEMENTS.

The promoters of the proposed
improvements in st. Martinville,
the building of water works, cleo
trio light and high school bull
dings have moved little too fast,
they have acted without knowing
accurately the amount needed,
and what was done so far, was not
within the requirement OF the law,
and will have to be done over III
order to be entirely within all le-
gal requirements.
We cannot issue bonds for more
than ten per cent OF our assess
ment. therefore our bond issue
can only be s27 900 or $4,000 and
this will be for water works and
electric light, and will require a
tax of 5 mills fol % or 30 years.
For the high school it will be
necessary to vote an additional tax
of two mills, for we believe, term
of twelve years, which will make
in all, special tax of seven mills
for ten or twelve years and a tax
of five mills for the remaining hf-
teen or twenty years.
New petitions will have to be
prepared and submitted to the tax
payers for their signatures before
they can be presented to the coun-
ell to ask for an election upon the
matter.
We believe our people fully re-
,alize the necessity of these i'm.
provements and will sign the petit
lions and vote for the tax.

that both boys are held in high

duating class of their respective
college.
James Broussard,- son of Mr.. L.

University of Baton Rouge, and
is president of the class. Eugene
Soulier, son of Mr.. Edw. Il. Sou
lier will graduate at the st. Stan
islaus College, Bay st. Louis,
Miss, and he is also president of
his class, which means that these
boys, besides their serious study
have. by their kind and gentle
manly manners, won the respect
and esteem of their fellow students,
which gives great deal of salts
faction to their parents, and a
greal deal of pleasure to their
friends.

The Poll Tax Question.
Thibodeaux Sentinel.


Another important matter which
is to be brought to the attention
of our Legislators for careful con-
sideration is the Poll Tax ques-
ton. Whether it should be re-
pealed or not is now puzzling the
minds of many. We have always
been a strong advocate of the Poll
Tax law as made part of the con-
stitution of 1890, because We be-
lieved firmly that this qualifica-
ton for voting would excite with
in the bosom of every citizen in
Louisiana stronger desire to ex-
ercise the rights of suffrage espe-
cially when threatened with dis
reimbursement, but In this belief
we fear we have been woefully
mistaken. This law has met with
the indignant contempt of a large
per cent of white voters in this
State and the result is that in
many parishes more negroes have
registered than whites. Again it
was thought that in the large ne
gro parishes that the negroes
would not pay the Poll. Tax, but
they were not to be caught nap
ping as will be seen from the Off
cial report of the Secretary OF
State in the following parishes:
Tensas parish has 800 white vo-
tiers, and reports 1858 poll taxes
for 1900.
Madison parish shows a more
marked contrast. The total white
vote is 29l and the poll taxes paid
for 1900 were 2,077.
Franklin parish has GIT white
votes, and reports 1,484 poll taxes
paid for 1900.
East Carroll has 81 white vo-
ters, and reports 1857 poll taxes
paid.
Lincoln has 1,306 whites votes,
aud reports 1,S40 poll taxes paid
in 1900
st. James has 1,O72 white votes
and reports 1861 poll taxes paid
in 1900.
| st. Helena has 1872 white votes
and reports l,5lS poll taxes paid.
| st. Landry has A, S5Iwhite votes
aud reports 6,577 poll taxes paid
st. Mary has 9l3 white votes
and reports 2,2l3 poll taxes paid
East Baton Rouge has SIT white
votes, and reports 1859 poll taxes
paid.
| The above shows very plainly
that the Poll Tax qualification
does not disqualify the negro but
rather is educating him. Of course
in other parishes where the negro
population is small few have re.
gistered. The Poll Tax law il
now serving, as the official reports
show, as compulsory educational
clause for the negro and within q
few years we fear the negroes will
be seeking the polls in large num-
bers again threatening our fail
State with the same danger We
have been warding against for the
last thirty odd years.
The matter rests with our legis.
! lature.

ROBBERS AGAIN BORE
THROUGH STORE FL DOR
The Fourth Time In the Past Few
Months That This Method
Has Been Employed.

Again the police department has to
deal with one of these robberies in which
an entrance was effected through a hole
in the floor of a store made by first bor-
ing with an auger and then using key
hole saw.
This is the fourth case in the last two
months, and so far none OF those commit
ting the robberies have been caught. Fri
day morning. just before daylight II ID
supposed, a wagon load of merchandise
was carried away from the store OF Chan.
dler and Company at Fourteenth street
and railroad avenue. Yesterday after.
noon Mr.. Chandler identified some of the
shoe boxes and other goods which had
been recovered.
Entrance was effected as in the pre-.
vious cases, through a hole in the floor
but this time a quantity of dirt had to bt
moved before the robbers could get under
the store. The goods stolen amounted
to about $780,
