TWILL SOON BE FAIR TIME.
Farmers Should Bear Their Exhibits

in Mind. To Poultry Exhibitors.
The Terrell County Fair is almost
upon us, not quite two months off.
The farmers are urged to bear in
mind the exhibits which they wish
to make and set the best aside while
gathering their crops Especial at
tention is called to the item in the
premium list in regard to the best
sample bale of cotton. Your ware
housemen will store your samples
for you. Messrs. Tweedy, Lowe and
Couric will judge the samples.
The fair will possibly be little
early for some classes of poultry, as
the moulting season will not more
than be over, but according to au-
thorities a rich diet from now until
the middle of September will cause
full breed birds to be in full feather
by the middle of October. Pullets
and cockerels will not be affected by
the moult, so there is every proba-
bility for a full first-class exhibit.
Since the rules of the American
Standard of Perfection will be strict
ly followed a blue ribbon awarded
by our judges will be worth as much
to you as if awarded by the Georgia
Poultry Association. Please do not
forget to have your certificate of pur-
chase showing that your imported
birds were in your possession before

THE PLEA OF WATER is A SUB
TERFITCE.

The opponents of the municipal
ownership of an electric light plant
are striving to confuse the issue
with the plea of water first and the
electric light plant after while.
1t is conceded that such argument
may have some effect on the suscep-
tible. but it is the supreme of the
ridiculous.
The waterworks is not the issue
and may not be for several years.
The live issue today is the owner
ship and operation of a municipal
electric light plant by the city.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
the possibility of truthful cOntradic-
ton that municipality owned and OPP
Grated electric light plants are
money-makers, and this accounts
for the determined opposition of the
men who are interested in the dol
lars and cents in the electric light
plant.
The electric light people do not
want an electric light plant to be
owned and operated by the munich
pality for the reason that they dc
not propose to give up their mon
opoly. In this fight the yare being
helped by their allies and friends.
If these interests were combined
in the water plant instead OF the
light plant their pleadings would be
the reverse of what it is now.
All this talk and twaddle for water
and for waterworks is for effect. 1t
is proposed deliberately to confuse
and to secure the defeat Of the pro-
posed issue OF bonds for the ac-
quirement and the operation OF an
electric light plant by the munich
pality.
Ii the bond issue is defeated the
same interests will combine to Sc
cure a majority in approval OF the
six years contract for lighting which
is not desired and which would bind
the city hand and foot to the light
ing company, and finally Shreveport
would continue for years to be UNI
der the control of the light and the
water corporations.
The electric lights and not water
is the issue.

THE WILSON CASE.

The case of J. w. Wilson, which
was taken to the Supreme Court on
an appeal, will be set for trial in the
District Court soon after this tribu-
nal is convened in October.
There was strong effort by the
attorneys for the defendant to have
the case transferred to the City
Court for trial, to which Assistant
District Attorney Barnet objected.
This official was mandamused to
show cause. His answer was plain
and direct. He was sustained by
Judge Bell. 1t is from this decision
t1at the case was appealed. The
usual plea that the prisoner was III
Jail and should have speedy trial
was urged. The answer by Assist
ant District Attorney Barnett was
plain and direct. He contended that
the placing of the case on the docket
OF the criminaPcourt was discretion
airy and that as it was not d minis
terial duty he could not be man
damused to perform a duty wholly
discretionary with him.
The writ of mandamus was dis
missed.
The purpose Of the mandamus was
TO force the State to try Wilson. III
doing which the defendants had ex-
pected the State would develop the
witnesses who will testify in the
cases involving the arrest of indi-
viduals on bond for selling liquor in
defiance of law.
Assistant District Attorney Bar
nett displayed eonsummate skill in
contesting successfully the pleading
of the defendants.
1t will be time enough to know
who are the States witnesses in
these liquor cases.
1t is believed from the evidence
that will be submitted that few II
any of the accused can escape.

MICHEL ACCUSED.

It has been charged against John
T. Michel that while he was holding
the office of Secretary of State, that
in three years he trafficked in over
$4,000 acres of State land, and that
on a resale he should clear about
100000.
The charge is by James Wilkinson
of the Plaquemines Protector.
He submits as proof the records OF
two books in the State Lana Office.
He also cites for examination the
records of the levee board
1t may be possible for John I. Mi
chel, candidate for governor, to eX-
plain these charges. Should he fail
he will stand discredited before the
people of the State of Louisiana.
