With Bad Negroes

Deputy Sheriff J. D. Knight, who
is located at Marsden Camp, was at
tackled by three negroes early Mon
day morning, with the result of one
negro killed, second seriously
wounded and a third made his es-
cmape.
Two negro women had attacked
an aged negro man at the camp and
Officer Knight arrived Just as the
negresses were clubbing the old man.
He struck one of the negro women.
She is reported to have gone to Win
Ezley, colored, who with his two
brothers, Frank and Phil, started to
look for the deputy sheriff. Find
ing him near the office at the camp
they opened fire.
Knight drew his gun and fired nine
shots, all taking effect with the re-
suits noted above. The negro killed

ENTERPRISE TO BE
MODERN PRINT SHOP

New equipment costing several
thousand dollars is being installed at
the Enterprise office and when
everything is ready, Bogalusa can lay
claim to the most modern printing
establishment Of any city its size in
the South.
A new press, with an automatic
feeder, is one of the improvements,
and is something that is seldom found
in cities of this size; a Miller saw
and trimmer, with routing and NOR
Using attachments, a machine which
is only found in metropolitan news
paper offices, is another addition to
the improvements.
The most modern stereotyping out
fit has been installed, which enables
the Enterprise to make cuts from
Notwithstanding. that cannot be
found in ten newspaper offices in
the state. With this machine the En-
terprise soon expects to have a local
cartoon each week by Ralph Picard,
of the Enterprise staff, who has
shown marked ability in this line.
The power situation may delay the
installation of this equipment, but if
you are interested in printing it will
be worth your time to pay q visit f.
the Enterprise when on the North
Side and see the new equipment in
operation.

Work On Bridge
to Start This Year

Unless there is an unexpected de-
lay, work will start on building the
bridge across Pearl river, at the foot
Of Louisiana avenue, before the end
of this year. This statement was
made BY ]. H. CASSIDY, who has done
more toward good road building in
this section than any other man.
At the luncheon at the Pine Tree
Inn last Thursday evening Mr.. Cas-
sidy stated that the commissioners of
Pearl River county had ordered the
levying of taxes for this purpose and
that their action Will become effec-
tive on September 4 and that in Jan
uary the tax will be paid. Between
September 4 and January l the work
can be advertised, contracts let and
the work started.
Washington parish already has the
money for their part Of the bridge.
The completion of this bridge will be
one of the greatest things for Boz
galusa and Pearl River county that
has been secured in many months. It
will be the principal connecting link
between Mississippi and Louisiana
and will attract hundreds of tourists
each year.

HOTEL GUESTS GET
REAL EXCITEMENT

There's one thing about this man
Gardiner-he's constant in his eff
forts to provide novel entertainment
for his guests at the Pine Tree Inn.
Manager Gardiner gave the Pine
Trees guests a brand new surprise
Wednesday morning. About 10 a. M,
everybody sitting around, trying not
to yawn and wondering what to do
next. Then
Whiz! Z-z-z-zip! Flashes of flame
and prodigious clouds of smoke roll
ing through the building.
''FireG" yelled someone, and the
guests took up the cry. The fire
alarm was turned in. Ladies among
the guests found themselves con-
fronted with the making of "a deci-
sion whether to save their trunks or
their powder puffs.
Just when the excitement was at
its highest pitch, Manager Gardiner
appeared on the scene, imperturable
and smiling.
"No cause for alarm, ladies'" he
said soothingly. at was just flash
of lightning"
The lightning during Wednesday
mornings rain storm had struck
wires near the hotel. No damage was
done, but the hotels call bell system
was temporarily put out of order and
few shingles were knocked from
the roof. There was no fire.

$4,000 Increase
in Local Pay Roll

,Bogalusa is going to have a pay
roll increase of about $4,000 a
month"; or $4,000 a year, and this
increase will cost the citizens of Bo-
galusa very small per cent of that
amount--so Bogalusa will profit
from the recent raise in wages to
railroad employees, if we desire to
LOOK at 1t from self standpoint.
The only part of the $4,000 per
month that Bogalusa will pay will
be the 25 per cent increase in freight
rates and 20 per cent increase in
passenger fares. In other words.
the S216,000 yearly increase in the
yearly payroll will likely not cost the
business men and industries of the
city more than $4,000, or 100000
at the most. The bulk of it will be
paid by people of other states who
purchase the products of the Great
Southern Lumber Company, The
Bogalusa Paper Company, The Baer
apd ihayer Hardwood Company, the
Colonial Cresoting Company, the
Bogalusa Veneer Company and the
B3galusa Turpentine Company, as
these concerns make price quotations

Within a very short time Pogalusa
viii again have normal electric SER
vice, according to Major Jack Friend,
supervising engineer for the Great
Southern Lumber Company, who, has
been working night and day with his
staff of electricians in an attempt to
repair the big turbines.
A necessary repair part was
brought to the city Wednesday in a
special express car from New York.
W. c. Flanders, traffic manager of
the Great Southern, was up most of
the night Tuesday in order to make
all arrangements for the special car
to arrive as soon as possible. The
car reached Jackson, Miss, early
Wednesday and was dispatched to
Bogalusa as a part of Train No. l,
reaching here at 2:45 p. m. Wednes-
day. The amount of the express
charges was not made public.
With the installation of this part,
normal service viii be resumed. This

however.

77-of-l-Per-Cent
Staggers Bogalusa

Saturday afternoon the team of
the New Orleans "Bingoes," filled
with one-half-of-one-per-cent caught
Bogalusa slightly off guard and adj
ministered to them one of the neat
est trimmings handed out in several
weeks, ending up in the ninth with
the score 8 to in favor of the Cres-
cent City team.
The lumbertown boys, although
crippled by the loss of Cusack, their
hurler, who sustained a bum lamp
by being hit on the eye while warm
ing up just before the game, were
sadly off form, and between the eff
forts of Underwood at short and
Marx at second, made enough errors
to let a legless man grab off home
run on a bunt to pitcher.
The crowd was visibly disappoint-
ed with the antics of the players on
both teams and many were the howls
of derision at some the burlesque
shows pulled off during the progress
of the game.

Company GSoon
To Be Reorgaiized

The reorganization of old Com

to take place almost Immediately.
This is made known after exten-
sive correspondence between Adiu-
tant General L. A. Toombs at Baton
Rouge and Major L. F. Guerre, for
mer commanding officer of old Com
pany G.
Percy W. Lindsey will be COM
mander of the new company.
This was unanimously agreed upon
at a conference between Majors
Guerre, Friend and Leblanc, who
were asked to decide on a good man
for the post.
The company viii be organized
through the local post of the Amer
lean Legion. All eligible young men
VINO can pass the examination will be
urged to join. The company will in
no way be restricted to overseas men
to men who have seen service, but
an attempt will be made to bring in
every eligible young man in Boga-
lusa.
Adjutant General Toombs is ex-
pected to come to Bogalusa the lat
ter part of this week to make the
final arrangements for the reorgan-
lzation. He will confer with Mr..
Lindsey and with Major Guerre,
who has always taken an active in
terest in the company.
Percy Lindsey, the commander.
mas seen active service as a soldier
and is considered the best man to
head the local company. He was a
first lieutenant in the overseas air
service and was at one time adiutant
OF the air service depot at Romoran
tin. He was sergeant in the old
Troop A of Company G.
In civil life Mr.. Lindsey is ac-
lively engaged in the real estate bus
mess and in addition is Commissioner
of Public Safety.
From the time of its organization
in January, 1913, Major Guerre was
commander of Company G. When

NOTED and Major Leblanc, at that
time captain, TOOK the company to
the border.

went across ahead of the 39th Di-
vision.
Both these men will assist Mr..
Lindsey in his organization plans,
and while they will not be able to
be active in the company, they have
promised their support.
Because of his past work, Mr..
Lindsey is expected to make a big
success in the reorganization of
Company G..
This company has splendid rec
ord, both at home and overseas, and
young men should reel proud to be-
come part of it. All who wish to
enlist can make application to Mr..
Lindslev.

Why Women Want
to Own Homes

Why is the ownership Of a home
so near to the heart of the average
woman?
That is the question The American
Lumberman, a national trade jour
nal, attempted to find out, and one
of the letters received in answer to
the question fits the case so nicely
that it is of interest to every family:
First of all, suppose it is in
stinctLthat same instinct that
prompted me as a child to play
house with a packing box and a
crate or two.
81 want home Of my own to plan
and save and work for, a home to
hold all the little thinks that make a
house a home. | want a garden with
shrubs and perennials and trees of
my own planting. The size or style
of my home does not matter so much,
but it must be MY VERY OWN.
81 want home of my own where
/ can have all the windows l want,
not the number a landlord thinks
will do.
II want home with my ideal
kitchen, work table and sink I'M
der windows-not over in a corner
where the plumbing might not be so
likely to freeze. l want a home
with the lights where they are need
ed-not on the ceilings in the CEN
ter of the rooms.
81 want a home for which the fur
niture can be selected to harmonic
with the interiors, with just enough
bookcases, china closets and ward
an over-supply of the
least expensive.
81 want a home of my own that
l won't have to give up because the
landlord fails to heat it properly, or
because he sees an opportunity to
sell at an advantage.
81 want a home of my own for the
that it gives in the commun-
ity. l want a home for the comfort
of possessing it and making it the
dearest spot on earth to my family.
you will perhaps find my reasons
identical with every other woman's
for wanting home of her
own, but l hope this may help teach
some man what a home of her own
planning would mean to his wife"
