bearers being Louis U. Babin and Gen.
O. A. Bullion, ofHope Villa, j. Oscar
Landry, of Denham Springs, and Geo.
Wilson, Andrew e. Fink and j. 0.
Callahan, of Baton Rouge. Mr.. ker-
man, death was not wholly unexpected,
as he had been in poor health since
November of last year. Recovering
sufficiently from his first illness he re-
sumed work for about a month, when
he contr acted pneumonia aud finally
succumbed to the disease. He was a
member of Manchae Lodge No. 1887
K. Of H., and of Live Oak Camp No.

Bullion & Co., afterwards engaging in
business on his own account at Hope
Villa for period Of several years. At
the time of his death he was bookkeeper
for the Garig Wilson Co., of Baton
Rouge. Throughout his entire BUSH
ness career Mr.. Herman comm anded
the respect and esteem of employers
and employees for his aft liability and
strict attention to duty. The surviv-
ing relatives are an aged mother, a
wife and three children and brother,
to whom Mr.. Herman S many friends
il this section extend most sincere
sympathy. The mother will return to

Death of A. I. Wimberly.

Capt. Augustus T. Wimberly, for
merly collector of customs for the
port OF New Orleans, died in that city
last Wednesday morning; the 18th in.
slant, in his sixty-ffth year, and his
remains were laid to rest in Metairie
| Cemetery the following afternoon. He
| had been in poor health for several
months, but his condition was not con-
| sidered critical until few hours be-
fore death ensued.
Capt. Wimberly was born in Mar
shall county, Miss, in 1910, and spent
| the greater portion of his life in tia
state. He entered the Confederate army
| at the outbreak OF the civil war, serv-
ing fifteenth months in the 154th Ten
nessee regiment and being mustered
out on account of illness. Recovering
his health he was commissioned by
Gen. n. B. Forrest to raise company
OF cavalry, which he commanded until
the close Of the war. Several years
afterwards he entered politics in Mis-
sissippi, and his subsequent career
was a cheekered one. Originally a
Democrat, he allied himself with the
Greenback party and was defeated for
state auditor on the Greenback- Repub-
liean fusion ticket. Later he affiliated
with the Republican party and held to
that allegiance until last year, when
he opposed the nomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and issued a pamphlet
condemnation of the president and his
official .appointees in Louisiana and
advocating the election of Parker and
Davis. Shortly after the appearance
of this brochure he withdrew it from
circulation, for what reason is not
generally known.
Inl889 President Harrison appointed
Capt. Wimberfy collector of internal
revenue for the district of Louisiana
and Mississippi, with headquarters at
New Orleans, and in 1892 the same
president removed him for collision
with the Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany in the memorable campaign
waged by that corporation to perpe5-
uate its legal existence.
Gaining the friendship OF Senator
Mark Hanna, Capt. Wimberly became
successful candidate for collector of /
customs at New Orleans after the cleo
ton of President Mckinley, and held
the Office until the expiration of his
term, Notwithstanding strenuous eff
forts on the part of his Republican
to displaee him. He was
succeeded il February, 1908, by Hon. |
Henry Mccall. the present collector.

The Municipal Election.


The time is drawing near when the
citizens of DonaldsonVille will be r.
CURED to decide upon method for
!! selecting the officers who shall admin
lister the affairs of the town for a
period Of two years. The proposition
to make these selections at a general
| white primary to be called by and
conducted under the direction of the
Democratic parish committee should
be discountenanced and defeated by
the voters of the town. This movement
is merely a subterfuge to inject the
virus OF party politics into municrial
elections, and is inimical to the best
interests and welfare of the commu-
nifty.
In the first place, it is manifestly not
the right of Democratic parish COM
mittee, composed of representatives
from the various wards of the parish,
to dictate to the citizens of Donald
sonville when and By what method
they shall choose their candidates for
municipal Offices. Only few OF the
members of the committee are residents
Of the town and have property or
business interests here, and it is ab.
surd that such a vital question as the
manner of selection Of a corp OF Off
GERS to direct the destinies of the munic-
ipal ship of state should be left to the
say-so of body Of men most OF whom
do not reside in the town, do not con-
tribute an iota to its source OF revenue
and are ID no way interested il its ad-
vancement or welfare.
Again, the primary election law re-
quires that the names OF the nominees
shall be fled in the Office Of the secre-
tary of state at Baton Rouge four
weeks prior to the date Of the election.
Even if general white primary were
decided on as the method for selecting
the candid ates-a primary arranged
for and conducted solely by the sover-
eign citizens and not by the Democratic
parish committee-the provisions Of
the primary election law would oper-
ate in such way as to make the CAM
paign hurried and incomplete and I'M
satisfactory from every point of view.
In view of the fact that the names OF
the nominees are required to be SUBJ
mitted to the secretary of state during
a. Of no
we'll past the middle Of March before
steps can be taken looking to the call
ing of primary, it can readily be
seen that this method of selecting the
candida tes is Well-nigh impr acticable
and that the very best thing 20 do un-
der the present circumstances-and al
most all others-is to follow the old
and tried method Of nomin ating mu-
nicipal officers at an open mass-meet-
ing of the tax-paying citizens of the
town. This method has worked we'll
in the past and has the virtue of
creating less rancor and bitterness
than any other plan that may be sug-
gested, and particularly the PROPOSE
ton 10 make nomin ations at a pri-
mary conducted by partisan polit-
iGdl OOQy dIlu WIlCn SdlhoU ldII w NC
productive OF much evil and loss OF
harmony.
The Chief urges the taxpayers of
Donaldsonville not to put the town
back into the old rut. Men Of ability,
intelligence and sterling worth have
been selected as municipal officers in
the past by the mass-meeting method,
and there is absolutely no reason to
revert to system which was tried and
condemned years ago.

The School Board Printing.

/ Our esteemed contemporary, the Dali
" Times, is indeed. hard loser. In
yesterdays issue The Times criticises
| the parish school board for naming
this paper as its official journal, TAX
| ing the stand that as The Times was
the only Democratic journal which
submitted bid for the printing it
was the school boards plain duty to
| award the contract to that paper.
And this in face of the fact that The
Chiefs bid was S4S, as against 500
bid by The Times. Shades of all the
grafters tn at ever lived, but isn't our
little contemporary candid-and sore?
In so far as concerns The Times
| contention that it had the right to ex-
pect better treatment from Demo-
cratic body, there is very little to be
said. Rather is it to laugh. There is
absolutely no reason why school
board should recognize party lines or
administer its affairs on political
basis. On the contr airy, it is the plain
duty Of the board to eliminate politics
and prejudices and strive for the up
building of the educational system of
the parish with its every effort and
along broad minded and liberal lines.
The righteousness of The Times wall
cannot fail to be apparent to even the
dullest mind and may be dismissed
without further notice.
Now about the cutting Of prices. II
seems to US that The Times has put
the police jury of the parish in rather
an unenviable position. Does not our
little neighbor frankly admit that the
police jury printing was awarded to
The Times on bid Of $500 per annum,
despite the fact that The Chief offered
to do the work for compensation of
$500? And, mind you, our little
neighbor goes on to say that the jury
cratic body and recognized the claim
advanced by Democratic paper. In
other words, the Times does not hest
tate To admit that the police jury is
guilty of having spent 5000 of tax
payers money for no other rea-
son than that it wished to reward
a political servant. Really, if the
slang may be pardoned, isn't that the
limit? Will somebody please tell Us
if we are in America or Russias
twill be remembered that the present
police jury. about the time it was first |
indicted into Office, announced far /
and wide and with great gusto that
under its administrator the affairs of
the parish would be conducted strictly |
on business basis and that the |
greatest good TO the greatest number
would determine its action in all in
In our guilelessness and
youth We believed all this and were
induced not only to bid for the
contract, but to depart from our
former policy Of declining 10 propose
any cut or reduction Ia the COM

pensasIon. Figuring entirely from
the business point of view and feeling
confident that the police jury would
no longer agree to pay the printer
the salary he had heretofore re-
ceived, and that other competitors
would offer TO do the work at reduced
rates, we framed our bid accordingly.
The Times has naively commented on
the result of the bidding. as set forth
above. The awarding Of the parish
printing contract to The Times at a
salary of $500 per annum, when The
Chief, with circulation three times
as large, offered to do the work for
$500 per year less, causes The Times
to clap the jury on the back and call it
a good fellow, but the awarding OF the
school board printing contract to The
Chief at S48 per annum, when The
Times Submitted bid Of more than
twice that amount, is heinous crime
for which the school board must needs
be scored iercely. This is the kind OF
logical reasoning that makes gods
grin and men ha-ha.
Our little neighbor says all kinds of
mean things about US because we bid
$48 for the school board printing, in
stead Of S100, which it seems is the
price that has been paid to The Times
for the past several years. The Chiefs
bid was ''for printing the official pro-
ceedings Of the school board, together
with all notices and advertisements
connected with the public schools of
the parish, while The Times bid in
=cluded the furnishing of all the neces-
sary stationery as well. 1t is there
fore natural that our bid should have
been lower than our contemporary IS,
in view Of the fact that we were fgur-
ing on smaller amount of work. It
cannot be gainsaid that the amount
bid by The Chief is fair price for
publishing the proceedings of the
school board. The Chief earnestly
wishes to assist the board in its cam
pHlgn Of economy, with view of pro-
viding the body with every facility for
the proper conduct and mainten ance
of the public schools of the parish,
and framed its bid ia such manner
as to afford the school board the use
of its advertising columns for just
about the same amount that would be
charged an ordinary advertiser. The
Times may take the view that this is
Hcutting prices We do not see it
that way and are inclined to believe
that our little neighbor will agree with
US after it has realized the ridiculous
ness OF its present spell of pouting.

Badly Mixed.

The reappointment of Major Gibson
i as surveyor of customs at New Or
leans several weeks ago afforded the
Daily States of that city a text for a
reportorial article containing about
as many errors of fact as could beread-
| lily crowded into six inches of news
paper space. The tenor and animus
| of the publication are indicated by
the caption: "Mr. Gibson Wins and
Lily White Element Gets a Knockout.
MIR. Gibson Reappointed to Position
from which He was Removed to Make
Room for Mr.. Flower.'' This ford
flight of the head-writer's fancy was
followed by paroxysmal ebullitions of
thereporter's imagin alton setting forth
that "The Black and Tan Wing of the
Louisiana Republican party has won
a distinct victory over the Lily Whites
at Washington and Fenton w. Glib
son, the man who was ousted to make
room for Collector McCall's relative,
Mr.. Flower, is the agency through
which the white wing of the party has
received the knockout blow. Mr..
Gibson was today appointed surveyor
of customs in this city to succeed MIR.
Flower, who not so very long ago be-
came the successor of Mr.. Gibson
| when the latter was ousted by Collector
MCCALL and more to like purpose.
If there is a grain of accuracy in
these statements it must be sought for
beyond the scope of the following
well-known facts: That Major Gibson
was never ousted from the surveyors
Office by Collector Mccall or anyone
else, but has held the position con-
tinuously for the past Eve years, and
was reappointed by the president OF the
United States, who alone has the
authority to Gust or appoint surveyors
of customs; that Major Gibson was
Endorsed and recommended for reap
pointment by Chairman r. B. Will
Jams, executive head of the Republican
organization which is derisively
termed LILLY White;n that MIR. Flower
never held the Office of surveyor of
customs, but was and still is the
special deputy surveyor, appointed
by Surveyor Gibson himself and not
by Collector Mccall, to replace
Deputy Henry w. Robinson, resigned;
and, finally, that MIR. Flower is not
related to Collector Mccall in any
degree.
That such conglomeration of
erroneous statements could have been
innocently made seems almost in
credible, and the motive underlying it,
if any exists, must be left to conject-
ure. 1t is strongly suspected, how
ever, that some one connected with
The States holds a grievance against
the so-called Lily Whites in general
and Collector Mccall in particular.
and has adopted this method of vent
ing his displeasure.
