Indicate Another Victory For
Red Necks and Hill Biilies.

Little Rock March 31.-Unoffi-

cast its vote for Governor Davis.
This gives him So counties with
308 delegates, Judge Wood Is
counties with 122 delegates, and
leaves Marion and Polk counties

Interest now centers in the race
for associate justice of the supreme
court, between McCulloch and
Moose. According to the unoffi-
cial estimates McCulloch has car
ried 81 counties with 217 delegates,
and Moose has 35 counties with
PIP delegates. The number of
delegates necessary to nominate is
222, and it is evident that the fin

be close.

Aged Widow Shot.

Stuttgart, Ark, March 90
News was brought to this city that
Mrs. Lena Nofziger, an aged wild
ow living three miles in the coun-
try had been shot by some un-
known person, while sitting at a
window in her home. She was
alone at the time, her son who
lived with her having gone to De-
witt to be married. She was able
to reach a neighbours house, and
give the alarm, but she is in pre-
carious condition and can give no
idea as to who was the perpetrator
of the terrible deed. The sheriff
and posse have gone to the scene
of the shooting.

The Printer.

Men may write and men may
think and think, but without the
printer their thoughts would be of
little value TO the world. Among
the trades there is not one more
honorable or important than that
of the printer, the man who edges
up metallic messengers Of thought
with nimble fingers or who manip-
ulates with dexterous hand the
keyboard of that marvellous inven-
ton which continually excites in
telligent wonder and admiration,
the linotype. That monument to
Otto Mergenthaler's genius which
the wisest man should be proud to
claim. The composing and press
rooms of great modern daily
never ceases to be impressive to
the thoughtful man, even though
his days and nights may be spent
therein. The world cannot do
without the printer. Washington

TO DIVIDE THE TAX
Senator lobe VIII EndeaVor to Sc
CRATE School Tax When the
Legislature Convenes.

Senator I. G. Jobe of Hope is
in the city, and in discussing pub
lie matters he said he would re-
yiye the segregation school tax is
sue in new form at the next ses-
sion of the general assembly, says
the Little Rock Gazette. The prop
osition is that the negro public
schools shall be dependent upon
taxes paid by negroes, the funds
derived from white taxpayers to
be devoted to the maintenance of
the white public schools.
Heretofore objection has been
made to bills on this subject on the
ground that they were unconstitu-
tional," said Senator Jobe. I pro-
pose at the next session to offer a
joint resolution providing for the
submission of an amendment to the
constitution authorizing segrega-
ton of the school tax as provided
in bills heretofore introduced along
that line. If the legislature pass
es the resolution the question of
the adoption of the amendment
will then be submitted to the cleo
tors at the ensuing general cleo
ton.
In the counties in the southern
part of the state the segregation
question is a live issue in the pres
ent campaign, and there can be no
doubt that the question of divid-
ing the school revenues as pro-
posed is growing in favor

THE FINAL RESULT
Wood Carried the County--Rarey
and Coleman are the Winners
For Representatives.

The democratic primary last
Saturday passed off very quietly
so far as independence county is
concerned. In some townships a
very large vote was polled, while
in others the vote was light.
Big Bottom township polled the
lightest vote she has polled for
many years, the total vote being
only 1875, or less than half of the
full democratic vote.
Some of the followers of both
Davis and Wood had worked them
selves up to the point where they
declared that they would not sup
port the nominee unless their man
was nominated, and many were
thus debarred from voting, as the
judges carried out their instruc-
tons to the letter and refused to
allow any man to vote who would
not pledge himself to support the
ticket.
Judge Wood carried the town
ship, the vote being 40 for Wood
and 90 for Davis.
The county went for Wood by a
very small majority, the vote be-
ing | ,094 for Wood and 1,009 for
Davis.
Oldfield for prosecuting attorney
carried the county by a safe ma
jority.
The ticket nominated is as fol
lows:
For representatives Dene II.
Coleman and t. j. Raney; for
sheriff j. ID. Morgan; for circuit
clerk Cul. l.. Pearce; for county
and probate Judge S. B. Wycough;
county clerk Burt Arnold; assessor
Joe Caldwell; surveyor +. NJ. Ham.
Jno. L. Tharp and Thos. Jones
were elected ~as justices of the
peace and S. w. Clark constable,
there being no other candidates in
the field.
The ticket nominated is a good
one, and one that every democrat
can give his hearty support.

SEEDING OUTLOOK
VERY FAVORABLE
EARLY INDICATIONS POINT TO
BIG WHEAT ACREAGE.
Flax Will Probably Be Cut-Weather
and Prices Will Determine This
Canadian Northwest Outlook Lit
the Indefinite as Yet.

. .
The weather Of the past few days
put a check to reports Of seeding in
localities far advanced, and no new
work was learned Of to-day. Inquiry
in the country brings out conditions
somewhat more favorable than at this
date last year as regards moisture and
sail conditions. With a few days of
fine weather will come renewed re-
ports of sending on high land.
1t is the general opinion that a big
acreage will go into wheat this year,
probably the largest ever seen in the
northwest, and it Is the opinion that
flax will be cut materially. Weather
conditions at seeding time and rela-
tive prices of wheat and flax will have
much to do with influencing farmers.
There is an abundance of moisture
over the entire northwest, and COM
plants Of dry top soil, SO numerous
last year during the work Of seeding,
in some localities, are not so likely
to be heard this season.
The Canadian northwest shows no
sign of the opening of spring as yet,
and advices from Winnipeg this morn
ing are of SHOWS and cold weather.
To what extent the Canadian north
west will increase the wheat acreage
is uncertain as yet, but the same in
fiuences that will cut the flax area
and increase wheat area on this side
Of the line are expected to operate
there to some extent.

rose "a, reacted momentarily, and then
extended it's gains to a point on small
dealings. Southern Pacific gained Is.
Ineffectual efforts were made to
hold prices after the slight early ad-5
vances. The narrOWness of the specu-2
lation deferred the trading element
from operating largely, and the small
profits over night were sought.
Realizing wiped out nearly all the
rise in Union Pacific, and the other
active stocks receded slightly. Union

Union Pacific rising to 82A and, then,
relapsing to below 81. Many Of the

was sluggish and narrow. Attention
was diverted from trading by the out

Facts and
. Figure.

The report OF the q. S. Steel
Company, for 1908, is the most
comprehensive issued, and COM
pares favorably with those of
Pennsylvania and Missouri Paci-
hc in the detailed information it
gives the stockholders.
It is pretty well known that the
second half Of 1903 was an excep-
tionally bad period in the iron and
steel trades, and the decrease of
24,858,687 in net earnings reflect
ed this condition.
. When it is shown that The cor
poration earned and paid all fixed
charges, per cent on its preferred
stock, and earned practically 5 per
cent on the common, it must be
conceded that it did remarkably
we'll. Only 2h per cent was paid
on the common; but the individual
surplus for the year was $12,30
916, after changing off $5,37S,S87
for depreciation in inventory valu-,
ations. The surplus Of all the
companies. on December 81 was
$90,130,S10, but $24,034;12s was
changed off for expense of pre-
ferred stock conversion and for
construction and capital liabilities
since April 1, 1901, leaving the un-
divided surplus Of $66,096,6s2 at
the end of the year. This should
dispose of all talk Of a reduction
in. the preferred dividend, partic-
ularly as Improvement in the iron
and steel trade is now in evidence.
