Meteoric career of Long an epic within own age
The piece depicts Long as a larger-than-life Louisiana figure whose rule spanned eight years with iron control and grandiose schemes. Described alternately as a genius and a demagogue, he unseated officials, used reform rhetoric, and paraded wealth redistribution plans. He touted a book Every Man A King and bragged of a Whitely House bid, while his death left his ever-shifting legacy uncertain.

County Board Seeks Dismissal of Injunction Suit
An injunction to stop the county board from buying a steam shovel is challenged as unconstitutional. The motion argues the 1831 act creating the three member board and road supervisor’s office contains multiple subjects, and the Calhoun bill repealing it similarly. The purchase of a 6405.81 shovel by McIntyre and Varnum faced opposition from Whiddon and McEachin.
