WAR0YCLAN WILL

WILL ATTEMPT TO IMMEDIATELY
SUPPRESS ORDER IN LOUISE.
ANA As FAR AS POSSIBLE
OLD STATUTE RESTRICTED
Whether Assembly Or Parade Would
Come Within The Prohibition OF
The Statute Must Be Oeterm-
lned BY Circumstances.

New DEMONSTRATING on the Opln
ion of Attorney General A. '. Coco
that Ku Klux Khan parades are in VIC
lation of state law, Gov. John M
Parker has announced that he would
attempt Immediately to suppress
the order in Louisiana as far as pos
sible.'
The opinion of the attorney general
made public was the result of a re.
cent inquiry of the governor If an
old statute enacted to prevent unlaw'
full gatherings in the adys immediate.
ly following the Civil War had been
repealed and whether in the attorney
generals opinion it would apply to
masked assemblies and parades.
The opinion held that "any organi-
cation, the purpose of which Is claim
ed to be to regulate and correct the
administration of public affairs and
to suppress supposed or real violations
Of law, accompanied with usual dem.
onstrations calculated to alarm the
public, such as for instance, parades
particularly where the participants
are masked) would In my opinion
constitute violation Of act number
seven Of the extra session Of the
General Assembly Of 1872"
After quoting tho above act, the at,
torney general said in his reply:
Whether an assembly or parade
would come within the prohibition
Of the statute presents a question Of
fact which might be determined by
the circumstances Of each case. Ger.
tainly If the attending circumstances
are such as would alarm or in any
manner disturb the public peace, the
participants would clearly be amen
able to prosecution
Governor Parker declared he would
act Immediately upon the opinion of
the attorney general and make efforts
to suppress parades or public meet.

Bonus Will Bring
New Industry Here

Bogalusa has an opportunity of Sc
curing another big industry, one
which would give employment to be-
tween two and three hundred men
and women, is the announcement
made by Mayor Sullivan.
Frank Brewer, treasurer and gem
eral manager of the E-Z Opener Bag
Company, with general offices at De-
catur, ILL.,, and R. E. Hartman, local
manager of their plant at Braithwait,
La, were in Bogalusa last week for
a conference with Mayor Sullivan.
The company has plants at Decatur
and Taylorville, ILL.,; Orange, Tex;
Philadelphia, Pa, and at Braithwait,
La, suburb of New Orleans.
The BogaluSa Paper Company has
been supplying the New Orleans
plant with pulp since their pulp mill
was destroyed by fire last winter.
The fact that the Bogalusa Paper
Company can supply another plant
with sufficient pulp, and that the old
plant of the Louisiana Fibre Board
could be used for the operation of
such concern, makes this city a
most attractive one for new indus
y
tual demonstration that the citizens
of community will show a spirit of
cooperation, and in his experience
he has found that when a city gives
bonus for the location of an indus
try, that their cooperation is always
better. While he did not state the
amount he would expect in the event
he located here, it is believed that it
would be between $4,000 and $685.
900.
Mr.. Sullivan will likely call a
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce at an early date and submit
the proposition to that body.
R. H. Laftman, of the Bogalusa
Paper Company, state that the Ell
Opener Bag Company have built up
national reputation, and all of their
plants are modern. If the plant To-
Gates here, they will make kraft pa
per as well as bags, and the bag max
ing department will give employ
ment to a hundred or more persons
and much Of the labor can be women.
A sample of the wrapping paper
made from Bogalusa pulp was shown
here last week, which proved that Bo-
galusa pulp will make a splendid
wrapping paper. The plant here
would be able to consume about forty
tons Of pulp per day, which is the
amount of surplus produced at the
Bogalusa Paper Company plant.
If BoSalusa can secure the new in
dustry, it will be in line with the
policy announced by Mayor Sullivan
two years ago Of making Bogalusa a
pGper-making City.

Boyd and Bride Home
From Honeymoon Trip

]. C. Boyd, Great Southern horti-
culturist and landscape gardener,
who was recently married to Miss
Mildred L. POythress, former teach
er in the BogaIusa schools, have re-
turned from their honeymoon, which
was spent in Texas, and they have
been kept busy receiving the congrat-
ulations of their many friends.
The ceremony was performed at
Laurel, Miss, on August 9, and Mr..
Boyd did not take his intimate
friends into his confidence and tell
of his intended marriage, the first
that was known of the wedding here
was contained in a dispatch which ap-
peared in the New Orleans papers.
The bride is a most charming
young lady and accomplished must
clan and has a wide circle of warm
friends.
Mr.. Boyd came here about three
years ago and is one of the best
known young men Of the city.
The Enterprise joins their friends
in extending heartiest congratuIa-
tions.

Virgil Underwood Sold
To Memphis Of Southern

When Virgil Underwood entered
professional baseball his friends pre-
dicted a great future for him. But
little did they realize that success
would come to him so quickly. INDY
has been playing great ball this sea-
son and when Clarksdale journeyed
to Memphis for an exhibition game,
they simply trotted INDY into the
hearts of Memphis baseball fans, to
say nothing of the baseball officials,
and before the game was over, Virgil
was the property of Memphis.
Bogalusa has just cause to be
proud of her athlete, for Virgil is a
true Bogalusa product, having spent
his early days in school here and get
ting the whole of his athletic train
ing in BOgalusa.
Virgil will return to Bogalusa for
the winter and his many friends will
welcome him home and give him a
great send-off next spring when he
goes to represent Bogalusa in the
great American sport of baseball.

New Hardwood MIL
For Richardsontown

Richardsontown will be the site of
another hardwood mill, if negotia-
tons which are now on between the
White Wood Products Company and
the Great Southern Lumber Company
are concluded satisfactorily.
AS stated elsewhere in this issue,
the main plant of the White Woods
Products Company, including their
mill, at CrOthersville, Ind, was re-
Gently destroyed by fire. The main
plant has been making handles from
hardwood, while the local plant is
using only pine.
In view of the fact that there is
an abundance of hardwood here and
that they can secure both pine and
hardwood timber, and that it will be
necessary to build a new plant, they
have picked on Bogalusa as the ideal
location for the splendid conditions
existing here and the almost mex
haustible supply of raw materials.
If they rebuild in Indiana, it will
be only few years until they will
be forced to ship in their raw mate
rial.
Mayor Sullivan is hope of an early
favorable decision by the directors of
both the Great Southern Lumber
Company and the White Wood Prod
ucts Company.

Canada Is Last
To Seek Election

J. A. Canada, most highly es-
teemed citizen and a resident of Bo-
galusa since shortly after its founda-
ton, was the last to qualify as can
didate for the Commission Council
Mr.. Canada is known to almost
every citizen; he is the father-in-law
of City Judge C. Ellis OFT; an active
member of the Presbyterian Church
and has done more than his part in
civic and patriotic work.
Mr.. Canada states that if elected
to the Commission Council he will be
in a position to devote his entire
time to the duties, if necessary.
Mr.. Canada has no enemies in b.
alusa, or anywhere else for that mat
ter. He believes that if you cannot
say something good about your town,
friends and neighbors, that it is far
better to say nothing.
Mr.. Canada solicits the vote of
every qualified voter in Bogalusa and
assures them he will do his best, if
elected, to give the city an efficient
and economical administration.

Want ToLocate
Main Plant Here

Fire recently destroyed the main
plant of the White Wood Products
Company at CrothersviIle, Ind, and
Mr.. White has been in communica-
ton with Mayor Sullivan, stating that
in view of the excellent conditions
existing here the company would
make Bogalusa their main plant and
headquarters, providing they can Sc
cure sufficient space at the plant Of
the Louisiana Fibre Board Company.
1t will be remembered that Mayor
Sullivan secured this plant for Boga-
lusa, and that an expenditure of sew
eral thousand dollars was necessary
to make changes and improvements
in the buildir% nOY occupied by the
White Wood Products Company, and
this expense was borne by the Great
Southern Lumber Company.
If the E-Z Opener Bag Company
locates here, it will also use a part
of the old plant of the Louisiana FL
Der Board Company, and with the adj
ditiOnal room necessary for the White
Wood Products Company, space will
be at a premium in that section of
the city.
In the event the White Wood Prod
ucts Company make Bogalusa their
main plant, they will treble their
force of employees.

DR.. jill. Slaughter
Is New Candidate

DR.. J. H. Slaughter, one of Boga-
lusa's best known and most public
spirited citizens, announces in this is
sue of The Enterprise that he is a
candidate for the nomination to the
Commission Council, subject to the
decision of the voters at the primary
election which will be held next Tues
day.
Bogalusa has no citizen who is
more popular than DR.. Slaughter. He
has been associated in every move in
Bogalisa for a better city. He has
been most active in charitable work
and the nature of his profession has
offered him a wonderful opportunity
for this work, and no one by DR..
Slaughter knows of the many acts of
charity he has performed.
DR.. Slaughter has served the city
as health officer for the past seven
years and the splendid sanitary con-
ditions that exist here today are due
to his efforts. Not only has the doc
tor given literally of his time, but of
his money as well.
DR.. Slaughter has never before
been a candidate and as the time Of
the election is so near at hand that it
will be impossible for him to see each
voter personally, he solicits your vote
and support on the assurance that if
elected he will give the citizens the
same painstaking service which has
made him a notable health officer,
and will be found at all times work
ing for any movement to make b.
galusa a better city.
