If ROUND DOZEN CLUB.
I The congenial members of the

inclement afternoon Wednesday
i to enjoy the hospitality of the,
L home of W.,n.W.9llaee,
I' - wtapin its ne‘at furnishings and
^Jbdife enlivening touch of many
jPfotted plants soon dismissed all
jjf&hought of the elements without.
gjf ~fhe afternoon was pleasantly
* spent and to its enjoyment a
nicely prepared menu of fried oys
ters, chicken salad whipped cream
dressing, wafers, pickles, pine
apple sponge and coffee, served
in courses, contributed.
The Round Dozen were once
limited in their refreshments,
but the above items, both in
number and excellence, would in
dicate that the hostess violated
the rules; however, the members
had no fault to find with this in
fraction and enjoyed thoroughly
the genuine hospitality of the
hostess.
Those present were Mesdames
C. W. Beard, I. D. Price, Wm.
Mosby, Rina Wishon, F. S.
Hess, E. J. Farrar of Quincy,
111., and Miss Elizabeth Gullette.

GAZETTE ENDORSES
KEEL’S ATTITUDE.
During the short time that he
served as speaker pro tern John
! H. Keel of Jackson county said
something that must be welcome
to the best people of Arkansas,
j says the Little Rock Gazette.
“I am for white man’s rule,
first, last and always,” declared
Mr. Keel, “but there is going to
; be legislation presented here
i which I shall oppose. It is
I going to be proposed to separate
I the school taxes of the negro
I and the white man according to
the proportion paid by each race.
While we dislike the brazen
effrontery of some of the negroes
of the present day, we must not
forget the loyalty of the negroes
of former times and the patience
of the average negro today. I
favor a law to educate the negro,
not only because it is right, but
for the protection of our citizen
ship in that the proper teaching
makes him a better citizen. I
am for educating him, not in the
classics, but in something that
he can use.”
I Even the white man who cares
nothing for the negro’s present
or future should realize that the
• • i i <* ii
: negro is an integral pari ux xne
j industrial structure of • the
' Southern states. Nothing would
1 make the negro so discontented,
nothing would raise in him such
| a strong'desire to leave the eoun
try as the denial of opportunity
to have his children taught to
read and write —for that is what
the segregation of school taxes
would amount to.
KEEL FAVORS
NEW CONSTITUTION.
« • __
Sentiment among lawyers and
politicians for a new state con
stitution is growing stronger
every day and John H. Keel is
quoted as in line with the move
ment.
•‘Register me as being one
heartily in favor of a new con
stitution,” says Jackson county’s
representative. ‘‘As the state
has progressed we need a con
stitution somewhere in keeping
with the strides made by the
state. When the present consti
tution was adopted it was well
and good, but times and condi
tions have since changed so that
a new constitution is sadly need
ed at the present.”
