candidates, are anxious to know why the returns do not show thelr election. He added that they had heard on the streets and seen Tn the papers that Mccoy and Core were the nominees. He concluded by saying that his purpose was to read to the Committee the petitions of Messrs. James Gould and V. o. AL exander, the respective candidates for Sheriff and Treasurer. He read MT. Gould's. as follows:
 State of Arkansas, county of Jeff erson, James Gould; ex parte, petition to have ballots of Bolivar. Wash ing ton. Jefferson and Yhiteville townships and Second and Third wards recounted.
 To the Democratic County Central
 Committee of Jefferson County.
 Petitioner James Gould would re- spectfullv request thar sitting as a Canvassing Board of Election Com missioners under section 2570 of San dels < Hills digest of the Statutes of Arkansas-yuu open the packages containing the ballots of Bolivar, Jefferson, Washington and White vile townships and Second and Third wards in Pine Bluff and pro- ceed to recount same in the manner prescribed by law for the count of same Tn tie first instance by the Judges who returned to you said ballots and declare the result Of said recount as shown by said ballots.
 Petitioner makes this ftqqest be- cause he says he is shown by the re- turns of the judges, to have received for the office of Sheriff but one vote in Bolivar township, while his op- ponent, H. 4. McCoy, IS said to have received 127 votes, while in truth there are Ao+ exceeding 90 legally qualified voters in said township and no such number of ballots were east, and this will appear from a count and comparison ofsaid ballots and an investigation of the facts in the case.
 That in case of Washington to wn- ship, the i1dges of election therein have returned eighty votes or bal lots as cast, wh9n in truth only fif- ty ballots were cast, there being thirty fictitious ba lots in the box from said township. That said bal lots were counted for H. A. Mccoy.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1900-03-21

That the returns of the judges fpr said township, show thirty or more ballots cast for petitioners oppon- ent, than were in fact cast for him. All of which will appear from an in spection and recount of sad ballots and comparlson of the poll books from said township.
 That while petitioner received 2S votes and his opponent 5l votes in Whitevile to wnship, the votes as re- turned by the judges show only Ij for petitioner and 64 for his oppon- ent.
 That in case of Jefferson ownship petitioner received 20 votes, yet the vote as returned by the judges, show he only received f votes, his oppon- ent being enormously stated to have re eiyed 40 votes.
 That in the case of the Second and Third wards in Pine Bluff, an inspec- tion of the ballots will show that Il 1 large number Of ballots have been erroneously counted for petitioners opponent, which were in fact cast for petitioner. That because of the i tact that petitioner has not had ae- cess to the poll books and ballots of 1 said townships and wards, he has not been able to ascertain and state the exact difference a recount of said l ballots will make, but he has infor- nation from the ldges themselves and other reliable sour ea that show q sufficient number of ballots have been erro leously counted, for his op- ponent, which if correctly counted, will show the election of petitioner instead of his opponent.
 That no harm can come to any one from sounding of the ballots by your committee as herein It qlest- ed by petitioner, but on the con trary. petitioner states that if ! would be the means of redressing a great wrong that has bean done pc. til toner i'll that he will be other wise be deprived of the nOmina ton to an 1 office he has fairly won, by the sui frages of the Democrats of Jefferson county.

mountains, the rivers. the woods. even

II is of the sun FAIRY or god. Apollo,
shall tell you. He was very strong,
handsome young man. and his duty
WAS to drive the sun chariot--a ear OF
gold and silver and jewels-through
the sky. Apollo. like all the other
gods. sometimes took upon himself the
form Of a human being, and came
among mortals. Once, when he did
this. he fell in love with very beau
tiful woman and married her. but she
told no one who her husband really
vas for fear they would not believe
her. She had three daughters. but
only one son. Phaeton.
When Phaeton grew old enough to

ask him about his father. why he was
never seen. where he kept himself,
and a lot Of such questions which the
poor boy could not answer. for he did
not know his father was Apollo. They
leased him and made him very un-

that his father was Apollo, the sun

dairy products are worth almost half
as much as the wheat crop and about
half as much as the combined crops of
all kinds OF fruit. The receipts from
sales OF butter. cheese, cream, and milk
amount to nearly double the annual
expenditures for the support OF the
public schools. According to the last

other states as follows: Seventeenth
In total number of cows; seventeenth
In total butter product: ninth in total

are ahead Of her in encouraging and

the dairy interests of many of them
are smaller than those OF California
