ROAD WORK.

The recent Legislature has On.
acted a law fixing August 9th, oil
each year, as a road day, and on
that day, every male citizen 10 ex-
peotsd to give that day of labor
upon our public roads.
In many states this law is in
successful operation and every CT.
tizsn, from Governor down to the
humblest citizen, do their duty on
tho roads.
There is hardly q parish in Lou.
isiana whose roads are more in
need of work than st. Martin pa.
rish, and it might be possible to
excite the enthusiasm of our poo.
pie upon this subject, but how
many of our Office or business
people whose work is in the shade,
could give a day OF our public
roads Oh the 9th day Of August,
when tho sun is the hottest. The
idea may be good one, but the
time selected 10 a bad ono, carly
Spring or late in October would
have been preferable a. with all
tho good will and good disposition,
many of our people would be in
capable of giving the physical
work expected of Thorn on tho day
fixed.
We believe the Police Jury will
mako an effort to have tho law put
in effect, and it succsssful, We feel
satisfied that much good work
could be done.

CAIRO. EGYPT, Jan. 5.-Four Egyp-
tan convicta were killed and fifty
wounded today when the prisoners
confined in the neighboring Tourah
penitentiary mutined and wae fired
On by the guards
A conspiracy to break jail had been
suspected and the convicts were pa
reded in the court yard OF the prison.
The warders began to search them
and one OF the prisoners struck a
searcher.
This was the signal for general
onslaught on the warders by several
hundred prisoners. and the officials
were in imminent danger of their
lives.
The armed guards of the jail then
mounted athe high walls surrounding
the court yard and fired a warning
volley Of blank cartridges. which had
no effect in checking the mutineers.
The guards then loaded their maya
zine rifles with ball cartridges and fir
ed several volleys into the closely
packed mass. A few minutes sufficed
to bring about the surrender of the
mutineers.
