Little Rock, Oct. 22.—F. E.
Clinton, Mayor of Dardanelle,
candidate for Secretary of State
in opposition to the incumbent,
Earle W. Hodges, was a caller at
the capitol, and paid his respects
to Gov. Hays and other state offi
cials, including Mr. Hodges.
There is a marked tendency
throughout the state to break
away from the two-terms-only
rule. Senator James P. Clarke,
Secretary of State Hodges, and
' Associate Justice Jesse Hart, are
! candidates for third terms, and
; in all probability George B. Cook
will in a short time announce his
candidacy for a fourth term as
Superintendent of Public In
struction. Attention is also call
ed to the fact that Sheriff Edgar
Brewster of Jefferson county,
Shex’iff Walter Wilson of Drew’
county, and others throughout
the state, are candidates for
third terms.

look for company officials to

press company agrees to their
demands, which include differ

better commissions, every a
gent will refuse to handle ex
press business after October 31.
Failure to get a committee rep
resenting the railroad agents has
added fuel to a long smouldering
fire, it is said, and an ultimatum
has been handed to division su
perintendents of the American
Express Company that they
must either conform with the
demands or get other agents.

“I do not attach any impor

Christian Church Revival.
The greatest theme in the uni
verse is the story of a crucified
Savior, and a risen and glorified
Lord and Redeem* r,
I is this old, old story— this
ever new and beautiful story —
that from evening to evening,
is being most eloquently told at
the ( hristian church by one who
through earnest prayer, t hough t
l t'u 1 bible study and consecrated
service, has caught something of
the beatific vision which alone
bringeth the “Peace that pass
eth understanding.”
-Mr. Taylor is here to bring to
the unsaved people of Newport
the message of Cod’s undying
love. To the Christians he brings
words of encouragement, and in
I tones of brotherly love urges
I them to a higher sense of their
■ duties and responsibilities to
i God and man. ,
Tuesday evening Mr. Taylor
j spoke on “Some Needs of The
j Church,” classifying these needs
j as: (1) Better church attend
ance; (2) More Bible study; (3)
j More earnest prayer; (4) Enlist
ing of the children in Bible study
especially; ,(5) Fellowship in
giving, and (6) More zeal for
the salvation of souls.
The speaker plead earnestly
with the church members that
they labor to supply these needs

loving Savior.

meetings in the past, come again
If you have not yet been pres
ent, come and hear Mr. Taylor’s

“Slit” Too Much For Blind Man.
I
j Bristol, Tenn., Oct. 20.—Beg
ging as a “blind man” is all
right, sometimes it has its temp
tations. Ask John Randolph,
under arrest here, who is to
have a special scientific examina
tion made to determine that he
i is not, then he may be prosecut
ed as a fraud and get a prison
sentence. And a dashing blonde
in a slit skirt is the cause of it
! all.
Randolph, who is a stranger,
has been posing as a “blind
man,” appealing for alms on the
streets here. A local policeman
| suspected the man and watched
hint- The cop saw a blonde
i come by wearing a slit skirt. As
she passed, the cop says, he saw
the “blind man” remove a pair
of large smoked glasses from
j his eyes and gaze longingly at
the dashing blonde and the slit.

Futrell Wins First Case.
Paragould, Oct. 21-—In the
first important lawsuit in which
former Acting Governor J. M.
Futrell has appeared as counsel
since his admission to the bar
several weeks ago, he won a de
cision that settles at least 20
suits pending in this county. I he
action was instituted by taxpay
ers in portions of School Dis
tricts Nos. 12 and 39, to have
declared void an election making
a special school district out of
all common school district No.
33 and parts of Nos. 12 and 39.
The election was held under an
act passed by the legislature of
1909, providing for the consoli
dation of common school dis
tricts, leaving the matter up to
a vote of the people in the dis
tricts or parts of districts sought
to be consolidated. The legisla
ture of 1911, by Act No. 321,
changed the method of forming
special school districts by per
mitting all the people in the dis
tricts to vote. Senator Futrell
argued that the act of 1911 re
pealed the act of 1909 and con
tended that the election held un
der the act of 1909 was there
fore void. The court sustained
his contention.
