Personal Mention.

Miss Octavia Hunter left Wednes-
day for Randolph-MacOn College,
Lynchburg, Va, where she will be-
gin her third years work. Miss Hun
ter is a graduate of our city high
school and entered the Virginia col
lege we'll equipped for her work.
She is unusually talented besides
having the gift of application and
her high standing at this accredited
women's college is a great gratifica-
ton to her family and friends
by no means a surprise. They eX-
pected her to do well.
Miss Marian Hearne left with Miss
Hunter for Randolph Macon to De
gin her first years work.
Mr.. Clarence Erickson has re-
turned to Vanderbilt University o

he Governor and the State Fair.

lhe Governor and the State Fair.
If Governor Sanders brings his
road machine and penitentiary con-
vIcts to Shreveport to ride out to
the State Fair, the people should re-
pudiate it. The Fair is not in poll
ties per Sc. Let the Governor open
the Fair. that is all right. But let
him leave the Sanders road wagon
at Marston's Weekly.
The State Fair is not a political
institution, nor is it the medium
through which politicians may fos-
ter their interests or personal ag-
grandizement.
A Candidates Day is fixed for
November 1, the second day of the
Fair. On that day candidates of
high and low degree are expected
with their friends. 1t is not intend
ed that any candidate shall cOnstrue
any gathering of his friends as an
endorsement of his candidacy by, at
or in any manner whatsoever being
connected with the Fair, the associ-
alton or its directors.
There has been some talk on the
streets that Governor Sanders is to
be welcomed by great gathering Of
his friends, who are to escort him in
procession to the fair grounds. the
significance of which is TO be her
aided as a political endorsement of
Governor Sanders by the North
Louisiana Democracy.
Stronger and more popular insu-
buttons than the State Fair Of
Louisiana have been wrecked on
personal politics, and therefore the
directors Of the State Fair should
not be a party to or lend cOunte-
nance to such demonstration.
1t is true that as the Governor of
the State, Governor Sanders should
be invited to open the Fair and well
coined as in the years past, without
any special demonstration for pOlit-
ical effect which would not be
shared in full by other candidates
who will be in attendance at the
Fair.
If the friends of Governor San
ders or of any candidate for any Of
flee wish to demonstrate in a politi-
cal sense, let their enthusiasm be
expended in the city or elsewhere,
but not at the State Fair, which is
nOn-political and non-sectarian, and
whose purpose is to educate the
people and foster the natural de-
velopment of the State, and not to
promote or to assist in promoting
the ambition of any gentleman seek
ing an office.

Carmen Mine Is to Be Re

An important strike has been made

districts. The strike is on the property
Of Martin Hickenson, who has opened
up body of ore 20 feet in width that
runs high in bismuth, copper and sill
yer. On the demand for bismuth OF
course depends the value, but at TINS
time the price of bismuth makes this
ore as assayed worth a matter OF
$4,000 a ton. It is unusual to find bis
muth in such paying quantities, and
therefore is a most interesting matter
