SECRETARY OF STATE
Hon. Ed Everett of Farmerville Is
Slated to Succeed Michel.

Monroe Independent July 5: Sec
retary of State ohm t. Michel, can
didate for governor, formally an
nounced his resignation at Ruston
yesterday and Hon. Edward Everett
of Farmelville, Union parish, has
been or will be appointed his sue
cessor. 1t has been understood for
some time that Governor Sanders
would name him.
Mr.. Everett served as deputy clerk
of court for Union parish under
Hon. J. M. Smith when he was clerk,
and succeeded him in that office, be-
ing elected for two successive terms,
He was not a candidate at the last
election. Since his retirement he
has been engaged in the abstracting
business and was associated with the
law firm of Elder, Everett & Daw-
kins. He is about 43 years of age.
The appointment is a splendid one
and no doubt Mr.. Everett will be a
candidate in the January primary to
succeed himself.

Wimberiy Endorsed.

1t is reported from Arcadia, La,
that the Woodmen of the World held
a picnic and barbecue near Alibone
church, on the parish line of Lin
coin and Claiborne, on July 4, and
endorsed J. Rush Wimberly for lieu
tenant governor.
On the same day at picnic at Sa-
line, Bienville parish, as reported
Mr.. Wimberly was endorsed for
lieutenant governor by the Odd Eel
lows and Woodmen of the World, all
of which is inconsistent and not in
keeping with the principles and the
teachings of these orders.
These fraternities, as well as 9TH
ers, can have no relation with the
political or religious views of indi-
viduals.

A MASS MEETING
Will Be Held i'm the Court House
Tonight.

A meeting of citizens will be held
tonight in the court house. 1t is
scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock. The
purpose is to consider the water
works question, or more properly
stated, the water problem, in which
every being in Shreveport is or
should be yitally interested.
The question should be viewed
without bias or prejudice, and only
from the standpoint of Shreveport's
welfare.
Possibly the question may be con-
sidered from the advantages of mn-
nicipal ownership and from an ex-
tension of the franchise or charter
of the Water Works Company.
As the people have experienced
the water supply under private
management, the inclination of the
majority would seem to be in favor
of municipal ownership.
1t is to be hoped there will be a
large attendance of the citizens of
Shreveport at tonight's meeting.

STATE FAIR BONDS
Encouraging Report Submitted to
the Directors Last Night.

A meeting of the directors of the
Louisiana State Fair Association was
held last night. An encouraging re-
port was submitted by Secretary
Brueggerhoff His report is that one
fifth of the taxpayers to whom have
been addressed letters requesting
their support of the bond issue have
replied favorably. OF the number
addressed only nine have expressed
their opposition.
The money from the bonds, as al
ready explained, is for the construc-
ton of band and grandstand, col
iseum and auditorium, an art mu-
scum, pavilions, an administration
building and entrance, ladies rest
rooms, etc.
The money for these improve
ments is to be spent by the city, un-
der authority of its officials, and as
will be specified in the contracts for
the construction of the buildings.
The directors of the State Fair As
sociation can not profit a cent from
such enterprise, but from a sense of
natural pride are directing their eff
forts to the success of the Fair
which practically is the only asset
possessed by the city of any great
value.
1t becomes the plain duty of the
taxpayers to support and vote the
bond issue, and a majority in num-
ber and amount is expected to be re-
corded in favor of the issue at the
election on July 1S.
