Worth Investigation.

The Parish of st. Martin is CON-
posed of two seperate tracts of
land, the parish proper and piece
of swamp land which is better
known to our people as the Bell
River section of the parish, which
is below the parish of Iberia, and
entirely seperate from the mother
parish. We presume this tract of
land was left out by some error in
drawing the lines when the Parish
of Iberia was created out of the
Parish of st. Martin.
Lately some Inquiries have been
made in Question and Answer Co.
lumn of THE Times Democrat,
which has brought out the follow
> ing explanation by Mr.. Charles
O'Neill, of franklin:
Charles ONeill: In your issue Of last
! Monday, the lst inst. Mr.. j. Colomb calls
: attention to that portion Of st. Martin
parish living south of Iberia and between
Grand Lake aud Grand river, which &C
cording to Hardee Official map Of. Lou
isiana IL shown as portion Of st. Mar
tin parish. but according to certain
maps got cut BY Rand. McNally & Co., is
shown rs q portion Of Assumption pa
fish, and Mr.: Coiomb asks. "What map
Is cOrrect" Your answer Is that the
i'aardee map. being the Official map, is
correct. | beg to suggest that. accord
ing to section 3 Of act No. 2O6 of 1858,
creating the parish Of Iberia. neither of
the maps in. question is correct, with re-
spect to this detached portion Of st. Mar
tin parish. The boundary line between
Iberia parish ami the southern portion
Of st. Martin parish, commencing at the
point whsre'the Tp. line between TIPS. IL
and IL intsrsects Grand river. runs
Thence westwardly In a direct line to
the northwest corner Of the lands Of
Charles Grsvemberg. Thisline runs not
quite due westwardlv, but on q course
approximately south IS degrees west;
while the Hardee map shows 1t with a
bearing approximately south TAN de-
= grees west. pointing about six miles
south Of the northwest corner of the
lands OF Charles Grevemberg. This tract.
called the lands Of Charles Greyemberg
Is the Albania plantation. situated in tho
parish Of st. Mary. and belonging TO
Messrs. Deigado & Co., Of New Orleans.
The error throws about 5000 acres Of
cypress swamp land into iberia parish
(which properly belongs 10 st. Martin.
beg now TO submit the question:
= Should the swamp land lying between
the line as 1t should bv projected accord
ing TO the act 206 Of 1883 aud the line as
: shown ON Hardee's may be assessed for
taxation in Iberis parish. or in st. Mar
tin parishY II assessed In Iberia parish,
in accord with the Official map. would q
tax sale made Dy the tax collector Of
that parish be valid; or would the court
'bepermitted. In your opinion. to 60 be.
hind the approval Of the Hsrdee map au-
'thorized by the act No. 143 of 1894?
The matter Is one for decision by the
'courts.-Timss- Dsm6crat.
If Mr.. O'Nslh is correct and six
thousand acres of'swsmp land are
assessed in Iberia, which by right
belong to St Martin parish, the
matter, we believe, il worth inves-
'tigation by the Police Jury.

coMPLAlNANTs OF THE BELLS.

New York World-Reappearanc of
the intermittent campaign against the
clangor of church bells is noted in
MOnclair, n. j., and in New Haven,
Conn The former is very small city:
New Haven is of the 100000 class in
population. But the gentlemen who
threaten suit to silence a bell already
hung in Montclair and to prevent the
proposed hanging of a new chime in
the Connecticut town will tell you that
noise is no respecter of lines drawn
by the census.
Beyond a doubt, in these days of
myriad clocks and watches, church
bells are without the pale of absolute
usefulness. They exc out continued
existence in urban districts chiefly on
poets lines and sentiment One remem-
bers the bells of Shandon, which are
admitted to sound grand on the River
Lee, and forgets the difference in eff
feet which must necessarily follow a
change of environment.
Industry has already felt in many
quarters the modern impulse, as yet
~ lHlHlIulZC but HOl56 Vi
the great town. Detroit has suppress
ed the whistle not only of the factory,
but of the locomotive at a crossing
SO has Cleveland. In Chicago a few
years ago an ordinance was proposed
classifying noises under twenty-five
general heads, and proposing all sorts
of remedies. from the prohibition of
peddlers' calls to the requirement of
rubber tires on delivery wagons
wherever practicable.
That anti-noise ordinances have not
been extended to cover the cases of
church bells is due probably to feel
ings of deicacy. Yet if real reasons
exist why the bells should not ring,
such scruples are weak. To silence
great mass of sounding metal in the
steeple is certainly to attack no re-
ligious tenet and to interfere with no
freedom of churchly assemblage.

FARMERS AND JURY DUTY.

An Iowa judge has established a
fine precedent and earned the ever
lasting gratitude of his agricultural
constituency by exempting farmers
from jury duty during the busy sea-
son. This ought to be done every
where. Think of jerking farmers from
the harvest field or from the pillow,
when the corn is suffering for work
to serve on jury trying some incon-
sequential case. There are plenty of
other men to do such public service
and no farmer should be cooped up in
court room between late spring and
early winter. Just now the raising of
crops is the most important of all
work, as on it depends the prosperity
and happiness as well as the very life
of the people. Courts, anyhow, ought
to be adjourned during the hot season,
so that the judges, lawyers and other
officials may obtain needed recreation.
Let litigants wait for cooler weather.
The Iowa Judge who first saw the
force of this argument tells this
amusing story growing out of his ac-
ton.
Zone sturdy fellow told ne he just
must get off and go home or he would
lose his whole crop. l finally yielded
and let him go, but admonished him to
say nothing to the other farmers on
the jury about his being excused. The
lucky juror was soon surrounded by
lot of his fellow jurors, who anxiously
inquired, Did the judge let you go?'
Yes, but I'm not to tell it, said the
happy farmer, and it was but little
bit until I was besiesed by seven
others to get away and they had their
way
