The Republicans of this parish
held a meeting at the court house
last Friday at which goodly pro-
portion of their following was
present. There were more pres
ent at this meeting than Mt any
of the former meetings, the at
tendance having been drummed
up and all that could be pursua-
dcd to come were on hand.
1t was decided by the meeting,
and the necessary resolutions
passed, to hold conventions in
every ward Of the parish on De-
cember 10 for the purpose of
nominating candidates for the
ward officers and naming dele
gates to a parish convention

that the committee fairly repre-

ent parishes and can be expected

They have seen best to order an

said, it was the demands of the

JUDICIAL PRIMARY.

As will be seen by the proceed.
ings of the Democratic Execu.
tive Committee of the Fifth Judi.
cial District, printed in another
column in this paper. a primary
election has been ordered in this
parish for the fifth day of next
january to nominate candidates
for. the Offices of Judge and dis
trict attorney. and a like primary
has been ordered in the other par
lshes of the district for January

cessful on an appeal, should one
be taken. At the time the mat
ter came up and when the suit
was filed, The Sentinel took the
position that the Assessor was
right in that lie had complied
with the law and the assessment
rolls had been closed by opcr-
alton of the law and the Assessor
could not reopen or make
changes in the assessment beyond
those provided for by the law.
The Sentinel was attacked by
several interested parties, but
they failed to point out wherein
the board of equalizers had the
right or power to go into an un-
doing of the Assessors work
after the same had been COM
pleted according to law. The
Sentinel is glad to know that the
decision Of the court bears us out
in our contention and also the
Assessor, and while the decision,
as we view it, is not to establish a
high or low Valuation on this
property, it serves to indicate that
such matters as this must be at
tended to during the time fixed
by law.

THE ASSESSMENT.

Our old fiend, Mr.. J. A. Mayes
of the third ward, gave us call
last Friday and chatted with us
for some time. He is interested
in the question of assessor for the
parish and has some good oppin-
ions on the question. He is old
and has raised his family. but is
still interested in politics to the
extent of securing officials who
will administer affairs justly and
economically.
In regard to assessments in this
parish Mr.. Mayes said he
believes that the value placed
on the timbered lands Of the par
ish is too little. Our best pine
tlmbered lands is worth on the
market $25 per acre and assess
ing it at one half its market value
would place thousands of acres of
our land on the tax roll at $12. 80
per acre instead of $40. He
thinks this would be fair and just
and would give us sufficient reve-
nue. for any and all legitimate
purposes. He is of the oppinion
that with an assessment of fifty
per cent of the market value of
the lands of our parish would be
the best thing that could be done
for the upbuilding of our parish.
It would result in the assessing of
our best timbered lands at $3.50
per acre and the farming lands
of the parish at IS cents per acre.
This would be some inducement
for farmers to locate here aud
would save to the small farmers
here something over
$4,000 every year in taxes, state
and parish. And this arrange
ment would still give us suffici-
Gent revenue for public expense,
including schools. The small
farms of the parish, if placed on
the market at present, would not
sell for more than all averaged
price of 81 per acre, hence they |
should not be assessed at from
s1.25 per acre up, while the best
timbered lands are worth $25 to
s35 per acre and assessed at only |
SO.
The Sentinel thinks Mr.. Mayes' |
suggestions are good and would |
like to hear the subject discussed
Dy more of our people.
