Caught in Death Traps by Fire.

Two holocausts by fire occurred this
week. in which nearly hundred lives
were snuffed out because proper pre-
cautions against fire were not observ-
ed. One was the fire of the Binghamp-
ton Clothing Co., of New York City,
where fully fifty persons, mostly girls
and women, were burned to death in a
building that was not provided with
sufficient means of fire escape. The
other was the roasting alive of thirty
five negro convicts at the Oakley State
convict prison, near Jackson, Miss. The
convicts slept up stairs in barn like
structure, under the steps of which a
lot of hay and other infammable ma
terial was stored. The material be-
came inflamed, and, communicating to
the stairway, the only means of escape
was cut off. Two or three hundred
other convicts were ready to rescue the
entrapped victims, but were powerless
to help them before the rapidly spread
ing flames had done its work.

He Favors the Tax for Schools.


Editor CoJar Chronicle:
| believe ward six will join
hands with ward one against the
penny wise and pound foolish"
idea of opposing the 5-mills tax
in aid of public schools. In
wards one and six they have a
high standard when it comes to
assessing lands. / believe our
rate of taxation on lands is near
ly eight or ten times as high as
the hill farmers pay. Yet these
two wards have always stood
ready to pay their share of taxes,
and are ready to vote taxes on
themselves to help others for the
common good. This is especially
necessary in those districts that
have had all of the timber cut
out of them and their values are
now gone. Are you all going to
sit down and never try to do
anything? 1t is surely a cheap
way to obtain an education for
your children by only paying a
five mills tax. Some claim they
cannot do anything because they
have nothing to do with. Here
is your chance to do something
for yourselves and your children.
The model road tax will be out
next year. So if this tax is car
ried there will only be two years
| it will seem little hard to pay.
Have you ever stopped to think
how little a five mills tax is to
donate to your children? Do you
expect to educate your children
Grant parish has the proud dis
tinction of being the leading par
ish in the State when it comes to
good roads and public schools,
and the only way they have been
able to do this was by means OF
Especial taxes.
| | am a taxpayer and as poor
man as most of the people in
Grant parish, but | like to see
the good work go on, and am
willing to pay my share of the
taxes. So | will ask, Mr.. Editor,
that you print this for the bene-
fit of the people in this ward, and
| for others that are interested in
| the matter.

He Wants the OId-Time Parish Judge.
Editor Colfar Chronicle:
AS there is a good deal of talk
of calling a constitutional con-
vention in the matter of the State
debt, which hope will be done. |
would like to see added, the ques-
ton of the reorganization of our
court system | have no criticism
to make of any of our court Of
ficials, but of the system.
The parish of Grant is tied to
Rapides, and Judge Blackman
has all that he can do in the lat
ter parish, if he gives it justice.
Now, l think Judge for each
parish, with graduated salaries,
would be the remedy for our
troubles.
We have a Jail full of prisoners,
costing the parish in the neigh
borhood of ten dollars per day,
for feeding and medical atten-
ton, etc. Of course you can't
work these parties on the public
road, as their innocence is pre-
sumed until their guilt is proven
beyond a reasonable doubt; and
besides there is the injustice to
the unfortunates in Jail this hot
weather. If we had a parish
Judge these parties could be tried,
if guilty, and sent to work on
the road, or if innocent, turned
out, saving great expense to the
parish.
Besides the great curtailment
of expenses by having a parish
Judge, parties having civil suits
! before the court could get them
tried, and this thing of keeping
peoples rights tied up forever
in litigation would be largely dis
pensed with. We could have
civil court all the time, and a
criminal term any time that il
was necessary, by calling a jury
term. Misdemeanors could be
tried at all times.
We won't have court of any
kind until October. The Jail is
already full. and if any more vi,
olations of the law are commit,
ted, what will the parish do?
The way our courts are held &
lawyer has nothing much to de
until court meets; then all his
