DEATH OF CAPT. w. B. BARROW.

Capt. William B. Barrow died at the
home of his son, Hill Barrow, in Char
lotte, N. c., on last Sunday, after a
| lingering illness extending over a
period of several years. 1t was only
a few months ago that Capt. Barrow
left this parish to reside with his son.
At that time he was in a feeble state
of health, and his friends knew that
he could not long survive.
The funeral was held from Grace
Church, Wednesday, Rev. A. w. Skar-
don reading the Episcopal burial SER
vice. West Feliciana Camp NC. V.
had charge of the ceremonies. AS a
tribute to the deceased, the Police
Jury adjourned it's session and attend
ed the funeral in a body. Capt. Bar
row had at one time been a member
of that body, and for over thirty years
served as a justice of the peace in
this parish.

the time of his death, and was life.
long resident of this parish. At the
outbreak of the Civil War he entered
the service of the Confederacy and
obtained the rank of Captain.
Capt. Barrow is survived by his SON
Hill Barrow, of North Carolina; his
sister, Miss Margaret Barrow, of this

SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY.

At Wednesdays meeting of the Po-
lice Jury the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, We view with regret the eff
fort being made to secure the location of
the Southern University in our parish, as
we now have the State farm free of all
taxation, with a heavy criminal expense
| We are fearful that it's location here
would tend to disturb the good feeling
that now exists between the races, and
we call upon our Senator and Represen-
tative to use their best effort to prevent
it's location here, and we especially regret
| the recent editorial in The True Democrat
| in it's favor, as we all so we'll know that
at least 95 per cent of our citizens are
opposed to it's location
The why's and wherefores of the
above are not apparent. Certainly
there is nothing to identify it as an
argument why the Southern Univer-
sity should not be located in West
Feliciana. The fear of the police jury
that the location of the university in
this parish will disturb the present
good feeling between the races is
groundless and the author of the reso-
luton probably did not read it the
second time. 1t is amusing to think
that the location of this institution in
a remote part of the parish will tend
to create discord between the races,
and we venture the prediction that if
no offense is given from the whites
none will be forthcoming from the
university
The location of the Southern Uni
versity in West Feliciana will not
change appreciably the ratio of popu-
Ilation as between white and black that
has existed in the past, and certainly
the white citizens are able as ever to
take care of any trouble that arises.
The only thing to be feared in this
connection is that offense may be
taken where none is meant, and that
some inoffensive darkey may have to
bear the brunt of some lawless white
mans displeasure.
There is another parish in Louisiana
that is anxious to secure this school,
land the people of that parish are fully
enlightened as the people of this par
fish, which proves the matter to be at
Ileast debatable.
AS an answer to the editorial com.
planned of, the resolution is wholly
inadequate.
The reference to The True Democrat
in the foregoing resolution, we think
will hardly affect its course in future
: 1t simply shows that men will &c
further to show disapproval than they
will to show approval 1t has moi
been so very long since The True
Democrat was giving much space te
help educate majority of the mem
bers of the police jury to the views Of
the minority. This was accomplished
lyet careful search of the minutes o.
that body fail to reveal appreciation O
any kind
