of our splendid water and light
plant.
Mr.. Yancey began the agitation
for federal court in Batesville,
when no one believed it could be
secured, enlisting the support, by
petition and otherwise, of the bar
and public men in this section,
which resulted in the court being
located in this city through a bill
introduced in Congress by Gen.
Neill.
He was "a member of the house
of representatives from Indepen-
dence county in 1885, being re-
cognized as one of the strong
members of that body; was elected
mayor of Batesville in 1889 with
out solicitation on his part, and
declined a second term. His adj
ministration of the office of mayor
was in every way creditable and
marked an epoch IN the city's his
tory. 1t was such record us he
and his friends and all good citi-
zens might justly be proud of. He
suppressed gambling, banished the
vagrancy and cleared out all the
loose and disreputable characters.
In 1892 he was chairman of the
Democratic congressional commit
tee, and In 1900 represented this
congressional district in the ma
tional convention which nominal.
ed Mr.. Bryan the second time.
Upon the organization of the
Business Men 5 League of Bates
vile, Mr.. Yancey was elected
president, and over his protest
was reelected and is now the pres
ident OF the league.
Mr.. Yancey is regarded by
members of the bar as one of the
best lawyers in the circuit; and
this, with his untiring devotion
to the upbuilding Of the business
interests of this section, will give
him strong following in every
county in the circuit.

TO REDUCE ILLITERAcY.

The latest bulletin of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
shows that the illiterate population
of Arkansas has decreased from
1913 per l 1000 native white child
rem from 10 to Il years of age in
1890, to ITO in 1900.
We now have the opportunity
to take measures that will cause
illiteracy in Arkansas to decrease
in the next decades much faster
than it did in the ten years be-
tween 1890 and 1900.
Let the people of Arkansas
adopt at the next general election,
in September, 1906, the proposed
constitutional amendment that will
allow the state to increase the tax
levy for school purposes from 2
to 3 mills, and the districts to in
crease theirs from 5 to Z mills.
With the better schools and adj
ditional school days that should re-
suit from increased school funds
iliteracy in Arkansas could be
started toward the vanishing
point.

est in the business.
Mr.. Yancey is one of the most
energetic and enterprising men
who ever lived in the state, and

any man in it. He has always
