Memorial to Confederate Women.

The Weekly desires to call the at
tention of its readers to the article
entitled Memorial to Confederate
Women which is published in this
issue.
The call is issued by command of
General Stephen d. Lee, and must
appeal to the most generous impulses
of the Southern heart. The patriot
ism, heroism and courageous fortitude
of the Confederate women during the
| times that tried mems souls merits
I the commemoration of their deeds in
shaft, in song and in story, and the
| present generation, their sons and
their daughters, will delight in the
| opportunity afforded to rear a mOnu-
ment as lasting as the hills to their
memory.
1t is left for the camps of the Z. G.
V. to take the initiative in the rails
ing of the fund and to invite the
whole Southern people to contribute.
1t goes without saying that there are
none whose hearts are so scared with
ingratitude as not to tender this trib
ute for cOmmemoratiOn of the forti-
tude of Southern women.
People who complain that the pub
lie roads are not as good as they
should be have never stopped to con
slider how good they must be to salts
fy them, nor that perfect roads have
never been built in a day, nor with
out adequate means. Road building
is engaging the energies of all coun-
tries and will require money and time
TO perfect.

 In the supreme court at Little Rock last Monday a motion to re- instate the case of ". H. Tomlin- son ys the St. L. |. M. & 5. Ky. appealed from this county, was de- nied.

 The Journal received letter with nice little bunch of local items from the Island neighbor- hood Tuesday, but there was no name signed. We are always glad to have news letters from the different neighborhoods over the county, but we must know who our correspondents are, and if we do not their communications in- variably go to the waste basket.

ROAD TAX AMENDMENT IS VALID
Supreme Court Hands Down De- cision in the Suit Brought
 by Cotton Belt Railroad

Little Rock, July 10.-The Su- preme Court yesterday handed down a decision declaring the road tax amendment to the state consti- tuition valid, and thereby making 1t possible for the state of Arkan- sas to spend annually in the work of improving the roads of the state sum which is estimated at pres ent at S700, 900. This decision is regarded as one of the most im- portant ever rendered by the Su- preme Court, inasmuch as the state would have been left with practically no funds to be used in the improvement of the roads and streets of the state, had the amend ment been declared void.
 Fhe decision, which was render 4 by Chief Justice Hill. was con- Cured in by all the members of the court. It was rendered in the suit brought by the Cotton Belt railroad against c. C. Kavanaugh, sheriff and ex- officio collector of Pulaski county. The suit was in- stituted in the Pulaski Chancery Court, and Chancellor Hart ren- dered his decision several weeks ago, holding the amendment valid. An appeal was taken to the SUI preme court by the railroad, and the decision rendered yesterday affirms the judgment of the lower court.
 The decision of the supreme court is based upon the contention. that in declaring an amendment adopted or lost the speaker of the house of representatives has only the vote upon the five constitution al state officers upon which to base his decision. It is held that under the rules adopted to govern the matter by the legislature, if an amendment receives q majority of the highest number of votes cast for any one of these five state of ficers, the speaker must declare it adopted. 1t Is shown that the road tax amendment received q maiori- ty of the highest number of votes cast for the five constitutional of ficers in the election of 1898, when 1t was submitted, and 1t is held that the amendment was therefore adopted. The vote for governor in this election was the highest cast for any of the five constitu- tional state officers. The total vote for governor was 111,S97, of which maj jority would be 55, 949. The amendment received 57, POT votes, giving it a majority of ,360 of the total vote for governor.
 The outcome of the suit has been awaited with great anxiety thru out the entire state, as it was gen. erally regarded as a matter of the utmost importance to the entire state With five or six exceptions every county in the state has taken advantage of the opportunity of fered by the road tax amendment and has voted the tax. While there are no figures available to show the exact amount collected on road tax in the state, 1t is esti- mated that the amount realized from this tax last year reached a total close to S700,000. This sum was expended upon the roads of the state and will be available ev- cry year now that the road tax amendment has been held valid.

CONDEMNS RELIGIOUS QUARRELS Rev. G. l.. Fink Expresses His Sentiments in Regard to De-
 nominational Disputes
To The Newark Journal:

spark kindleth. 1 have been read ing the religious spats in each number of The Journal for several weeks and wondered what would come next. One of the most IT. diculous things in the world IS family quarrels; members of the the same family or even neighbors so disagreeable that every body who comes in touch with them are made unpleasant and disagreeabIe. No harmony; no peace; no pleas- ure; no nothing that tends to make life pleasant and elevate society. I ct we have been reading from the hands of those who claim to be children of the King, pouring out their vile vituperations on each other, enough to cause any re- spectable citizen, though a sinner, to blush with shame, when the Savior said, 'Ye are the light of the world.
 Poor souls are sinking down to eternal night all around us and no time to throw out the life line to save them. No wonder there are so many sinners in and around Newark. You may talk of blind tigers and other prevalent evils, but in my judgment this one thing of religious quarreling is making more infdels and sending more souls to torment than any one thing now before us. Paul says God is not the author of confusion. IQ Cor II 33) Religion is love, and the apostle says, Love work eth no i'll to his neighbor.o To be Christian means to be Christ like. Have you seen in all the Bible picture gallery such pie ture as the one we have at Newarkg And Paul says, If ye have not the spirit of Christ, ye are none of his. , 1 have never seen an ar ticle from the pen of either of these disputers condemning blind tigers, drunkenness, profanity, Sabbath desecration or any other sin prevalent with us, but just as soon as little trouble comes be- tween denominations they are wound up ready to fight.
 Now 1 don't desire to be con- spicuous, but let us look at the situation unprejudiced. First of all l consider the little piece of poetry inappropriate on an occa- sion of this kind, and was not we'll considered, for this was a Union ! Children Day service. Secondly Rev. Newman made great mis- take when he got angry and said so many hard things about the
 Baptiets, for but few of the Bap- lists knew anything about 1t at all, and he reflects discredit on the committee on arrangements. Had
 he not said so much uncalled for no doubt that would have been the end of it, but somebody got hurt, and like the cows in the barnyard, when one kick was made that set the whole thing in motion, and | think some of the hardest and most uncalled for things have been said that 1 ever heard of pro i fessed Christians saying. Mr. Editor, 1 think if these abusers won't get ashamed and quit, you will do justice to the cause of the Master to cut them all out and not allow them space in The Journal, for when they say anything it is not relative to the subject.

An Outside View Of the Case.

The seventy and more people of
Brattleboro who are owners of automo-
biles are said to have exceeded the
speed limits this summer, and proof
was secured against sixteen of them
last week by means Of timing This
was done by two officers who placed
themselves with watches in hand an
eighth of a mile apart on street that
is often used by autoists. The result
was that every one of the ears was
found to be going at rate exceeding
ten miles an hour, the limit allowed by
law in city, Incorporated village or
the thickly settled portions of towns
and fire districts. The names OF the
drivers Of the ears, among whom are
said to be several Of the leading busl-
ness men of the town, are in the hands
of the police and will be turned over
to the bailiffs for action. If all the au-
tomobilists of Brattleboro have been
exceeding the speed limits within the
village, they are not alone the ones at
fault. The village authorities have
some responsibility resting on them for
the prevalence of the habit. Whlle
the drivers of the cars should have re-
spect enough for the law to keep within
bounds, and to have done so without
warning. the authorities must have
been dereliet to their duty in allowing
the matter to run until this late day
Barre Times.
