Board Of Equalizers Disagree
With Assessor as to Value
of Timber Lands.

After spending about four days
as a board of equalizers the police
| jury finally reached conclusion
as to the value of first class tim
Der lands of the parish aud placed
a value Of $40 per acre on such
lands. There were other contests
before the board but they were
adjusted satisfactorily before the
board adjourned last week.
Tuesday the contests over the
timber lands were taken up.
Assessor Crawford had placed
a value Of So per acre on all the
first class timber lands in the
parish and the land owners had
filed protests. The contestswere
taken up Tuesday and after an
all day.session the board decided
on placing the value at SO per
acre, this valuation being salts
factory to the land owners as it
puts the average value of all their
lands, first class and other kinds,
at about 81 per acre. This val
uation was decided on by the
board after taking in.o consider
alton the market value of timber
and lumber at this time and the
values placed on such lands BY
parishes adjoining this one, and
after considering the probable
needs of the parish in the way of
funds for the next year. At SO
per acre the revenue of the parish
will be about $4,000 per year
and when it is known that sc, 900
is ample te Pay fs q, s;issi ses; fs;' 3 .
year it Is readily seen that $40 is a
sufficient valuation for this prop
erty, taxation for needed reven ue
only being the intention of tax
alton in this instance.
It is understood at this time
that MIR. Crawford will not ac-
cept the reduction and will carry
the matter into the courts with
the hope of being sustained.

WORTHY ENTERPRISE.
Up to-date Gin and Grist Mill
Badly Needed.

The splendid gin and grist mill,
which is nearing completion, is
an enterprise that will fill long
felt want at Winfield and Mr..
Perkins is to be commended for
undertaking to supply that want.
The plant he is putting in is
capable Of handling several hum
bales of cotton, in fact it can gin
all the cotton within reach of it,
if he should De accorded the
work. Everything about it is
new. and the service given. the
patrons will be perfectly satisfac-
tory, rs Mr.. Perkins is one of
our best citizens and man uni
versally liked. He is undertake
ing the enterprise for the purpose
of supplying a need among the
farmers in this section as we'll as
to help the town and himself.
He has gone to considerable cx-
pensc to get the plant in running
order and should, and we believe
he will, be accorded the work of
our farmers. Those who haul
their cotton tc this gin will find
sale for it and right here without
moving from the gin and also all
seed they may desire to sell. It
is understood the plant will be
insured to cover all cotton and
seed it handles. and in this case
farmers will be at no risk haul

Southern Sentincl:
In last weeks issue Of the Com
rade appeared the following
article:
ssLast Friday, July Sth, the
Winfield School Board met to
make arrangements for the COM
ing session of the Winfield pub

by the board is not one calculated
to inspire good feelings between
the board and the patrons of this

the board struck was . snag in
the shape of the $1,000 that had
been borrowed from the bank last
year to build the new addition to
the school building. It was un-
derstood when this $1,000 was
borrowed that the school need
not return it at the date it became
due and that they could pay the
interest and let the principa. run
for q considerable time, provided
the trustees or school board would
endorse the note, this the school
board of last year did, but this
year we have four new members
on the board Messrs. j. j. Peters,
J. H. Crawford, L. D. Jones and
G.. p. Long, and when the matter
of endorsing the note came up
Messrs. G.. p. Long, DR.. j. j.

to endorse and BY their action

THE NEGRO
QUESTION SCARE.
Mr.. Boyett Stirred up All Old Trouble and Thinks
We Did Hin Injustice by Our Defense
Of WinH ParisIa--EIs Explanation

Tannehill, La. July Is, 1904.
Editor Sentinel:
/ do not wish to enter into the
discussion between you and my
friend Stuckey of the Demands
further than to correct some false
impression that your articles
convey.
Now, anyone reading your arti-
cles in reply to the Demands, not
knowing the situation, would
believe that the 20 odd men who
went to the mills went there to
violate the law and murder ne
groes. IF you will give me space
in your paper | will tell your
readers why we went there and
who did violate the law.
In the first place Capt. Hender-
son promised the people that if
they would vote him a 5-mill tax
he would see that the mill men
operating on his road would not
import lawless negroes into our
parish and that the white citizens
here should have the preference
of employment.
Now our farmers would not
have asked for employment had
it not been for the continued
drowth of 1902, but when their
hopes for crop were gone they
were forced to resort to public
works to keep their families from
suffering and when they asked for
work they were told by some of
the mill foremen that they could
not use them as they were full
handed for men and at the same
time the Kelly coiiipas5 sd nsld aaes'
in Shreveport and Monroe gath
ering up all classes of negroes
they could get. During this time
our white citizens were suffering
for the need of work.
This is not all the causes of the
10 odd men going to the Kelly
mill. Another reason was. white
men were taken from under the
she'd in August and put on the
yards to handle green lumber
while negroes were put in their
places under the shed, at 25 cents
per day better than the whites
were getting on the same job.
These are some of the cadses
which led up to the movement.
There are some others ! could
mention were it not for consuming
space.
Now it seems that you would
have the public believe that we
were an armed mob. The few
white citizens who went to the
mills to help the mill people hold
these negroeswere doing s9rinfhs
interest of law and order. Some
no doubt were actuatcd by good
motives while others we're willing
| to shoot d..wn their neighbors for
the protection of these criminal
negroes who are causing so much
trouble in our parish today. and
they are responsible for the wid<

ows and orphans in our country
today, caused BY the brutislrwork
of that element Of negroes we
tried to get out of our country
without resorting to brutssh
means to do it. Had it not been
for the protection guaranteed the
mill men and the negroes by this
class OF our citizens we would
have succeeded.
Now in order to convince you
and the public that we did not in
tend to injure anyone personally
or anyone's property | will state
how we went there. We Were
unarmed. Only one man had on
a coat. We were led by a COM
mittee of Z Of our most represen-
tative citizens. There was one
justice of the peace on this COM
mittee and they selected ex-Rep-
resentative James as their spokes-
man. He laid our complaints
before the company and was met
with the reply that they were
going to run their own business
and would be dictated to by no.
body.
The only men who violated the
law were the hired tools of the
company, who drew a line across
the public road and swore they
would kill the first man that
crossed the line. Unfortunately
for me / looked down the barrels
of one of their breech-loadingi
shot guns. You understand these
men were not deputies, Mr.. Bal
ley did not ask them to assist him.

These men were arrested and
shsuld have been punished, but.
somehow the cases have never
been heard of since. 4 am not
throwing any reflection on our re-
tltcd sheriff or judge. They did
their duty as / saw it.
Now Mr.. Editor, I take ron to
be reasonable man and if you
are you will set this matter right
before the public and let the fault
rest where it is due. In concIus-
ion | will say that the only men
violating the law we're the ones
who favor the negro and howl
white supremacy.
No, we were not put under
peace bonds. You were wrongly
informed. Neither have we ever
been tried on any charge.
Thanking you in advance for
the space allowed me, ! am yours
for justice to all.
