“Good to look At..”
Returning from Little Rock
says the Arkansas Gazette, Edi
tor Edward McCorkle of the
Star of Hope Fays:
“We saw 'the Divine Sarah’
j
Jittle Rock last night. Wc
In’t ‘savvy’ a word she oi
lompany said but once, and
was when one of the minor
characters said ‘Thank you’tc
another in good old ‘United
States.’ But she certainly
‘looked good’ to us, and we voted
her the youngest old woman we
i ever saw. As the majority of
’ the audience misunderstood the
same number of lines as we did,
we don’t feel bad about that,
and can say with them that we
; ‘saw Bernhardt. ’

The Woman’s Club.
One of the most delightful
meetings the Woman’s Club
has had this season was held
Friday afternoon, with Mrs. L.
E. Willis hostess.
The afternoon was devoted to
the study of “The Lake School
of Poets,” with one exception,
which was an excellent portrayal
of Byron by Mrs. 0. D. Watson.
The papers of Mrs. L. E.
Willis on “The Lake School of
Poets.”
Mrs. E. L. Boyce on “Chrys
tabel and the Ancient Mariner,”
and Miss Dove Erwin on “Wards
; worth’s Love of Nature,” drew
! special mention for their unusual
evident that each person on duty
had fully mastered her subject,
for the papers were presented in
a most pleasing and impressive
manner. '
The result of their efforts was
a program which was thoroughly
enjoyed and we went away feel
ing that we had received an
“exceeding great reward.”
The next meeting will be held
with Miss Dove Erwin, March
23, at which time the election of
I officers will be held and work for
| the coming year discussed.

COMPARATIVE STATEMENTS.
Judge Lippmann Produces Auditor’s
Statement to Show That Governor j
Has Misrepresented State’s
Financial Condition.
.—__— ■
To the Independent:
Below are set forth compara
tive statements of the balances
of funds remaining in the State:
Treasury Jan. 1, 1901, and Jan. |
: 1, 1906. The writer thinks these j
I statements are opportune in
; view of the fact that Gov. Davis
asserts on page 5 in his printed
speech that when he became
governor the state was $64,000
in debt, and that now the
state is entirely free from debt,
an accomplishment of his ad
: ministration.
If this were true, the governor
would be justified in asserting
his pride, for putting the state
in such an enviable condition
financially. Unfortunately for
the people, and the Governor
too, it is not a true statement of
the actual financial condition of
; the state as it exists today.
The Governor in his speech!
does not say anything about the
condition of the treasury when
he was inducted into office Jan., j
lyui, tnougn nis speecn, taiten
as presented, would create the j
belief, that the state treasury;
was empty, when he went into
office, and that the state owed
$64,000.00, all of which he has
! paid, and besides paying current j
expenses of state government
i and spending vast sums for per
i manent improvement of the state
^institutions he says we have1
$3,855,000.00 in cash and bon
! vertible securities in the state
! treasury.
A careful review of the two
statements presented will con
I vince any fair-minded man that
the Governor’s assertions are
without warrant, and grossly
i
erroneous.
A patent error is shown in the :
sum claimed to be in the treas
ury by the Governor, the $3,
855,000.00, and that given in the j
j certified statement of the Auditor!
' of State, which shows that on!
Jan. 1, 1906, the treasury con
| tained $2,845,532.22. This shows
a smaller sum than that claimed
to be in the treasury by the
Governor of more than $1,000,
000.00.
Notice should be taken of the
different items that are con
j tained in the two statements.
! All do not represent “cash and
i convertible securities. ’ ’ It should
i not be difficult to note that only
> the currency can be assets and
! all the otner items are liabilities!
i against the state.
| The funding bonds and cou
■ pons attached belong to the per- j
j manent school fund, for which a
i tax levy is made each year to
: pay the 3 per cent, interest that
! the bonds draw. This interest
j is added to the common school
j fund each year and distributed
I to the different districts,
i The county and city scrip be
| longs to certain counties and
j cities, and on settlement day
j will be turned over to the proper1
1 counties and cities, the state not
realizing a cent from the trans
fer. The Governor Jones notes
will not bring the state a cent,
las they only represent money
! taken from one state fund to
put into another for the purpose
I of paying a debt of the state
The small difference in an aunt
in the treasury Jan. 1, 1901., and
Jan. 1,1906, $354,160 80, prompts
the query what has become of
the va^‘ t\ ■'ns that tne Governor
says have t en collected duiing
his term of office?
