Mr.. Lefebvre is anative of Louisiana,
born in Iberville Parish, from where
he moved in his early manhood to his
present home of West Baton Rouge
and where he has continuously lived
and followed the occupation of a
farmer.
Although he is not like all other con-
gressmen and congressional aspirants,
an Attorney at Law yet he has
proved his ability to serve his parish
and State in public position with due
credit to himself and his constituents
in various capacities.
In 1892 he was called upon by a
unanimous vote to serve his district in
the State Senate where he early
gained influence and prominence.
He served his parish in the constitu-
tional convention of 1898, and no man
labored more earnestly than he to Sc
cure to the white people of the State
the absolute right of State, parish and
ward government.
In 1896 he was nominated and elect
ed to the position of sheriff of his
parish, which position he filled to the
entire satisfaction of his constituents
until 1899 when he was prevailed upor
to accept the position of member Of
the Board of Commissioners of the
Atchafalaya Basin Levee District
where he has continuously served since
and of which Board he has been the
honored president for the past five
years.
Mr.. Lefebvre is an ardent advocate
of the improvement, by the Nationa
G Government, of inland waterways O.
the State and district, that navigablt
streams may be offered as a checl
and barrier to exorbitant railroat
rates and corporation. In fact tht
ambition of his life seems to be de
voted to the fostering and advance
ment of the States best interest an
especially to her agricultural an
manufacturing industries, and shoul
he be selected to serve his district i
the national congress there is no doub
of his ability and untiring energy i
any and all questions pertaining to tn
interest of his native State as well a
his unceasing watchfulness and scru
tiny of any bills that might be detri
mental to or of doubtful interest t
her welfare.

Cotton Bagging For Farmers.

Several times during the past few
years the farmers organizations and
a number of the newspapers of the
state have discussed the feasibility
of establishing at one of the State
farms factory for the making of
cotton bagging. The trust has con-
troll of the jute available, and in the
event Of a fight between the State
factory and that organization,
would naturally run up the price of
the raw material until the price of
the prison made lute bagging would
toe little il any under the trust out
put But cotton is a much more
durable material for which to man
ufacture Tagging. and cotton cover
ed bales are more acceptable in the
markets of Europe, and of this
staple the world has never been able
to corner save through an artificial
market in New YORK.
That the prison system is a sue
cess when manufacturing goods for
farm use is amply established by
the success that has met Minnesota
