that during The first six months of the
expended on the conduit contracts was
s156, AS. So, and the engineering expenses
were only s9,Os1.ss, or 1853 per cent, as
against 22.371 under the Morris admins
tration The engineering cost on the
amount expended under the Democratic
administration, he declares. should have
been ST. 06 instead of s1I,O66.12. exclu-
sive of the first cost of preparing the
plans. He finally figures up that the cost
of engineering for given amount of
work was 100 per cent greater under the
Democratic administration than under the
American administration. He admits,
however, that other expenses in the DEM
ocratic engineers office may have been
improperly charged against the water

Attacks F. S. Richards.

The ex-bookkeeper then attacks Frank
lin s. Richards, who was special counsel
for the city in the water matter, by say
ing that Mr. Richards charged the city
$500 for legal services, including a trip
to New York. and was afterward al
lowed $3.50 more for his New York trip.
He critieises the fact that $40 was paid
George E. ElleTbeek for bringing a suit
against the city to test the validity of
the water bonds. despite the fact that
such suit had TO be brought to satisfy the
demands of the bond buyers.
Jan, /. 1906. the ex-bookkeeper says,
after deducting all expenses paid and
contracted for, there remained in the fund
s442, 1884. All of this had not been paid
out, however, and on July ], there was
on deposit in the fund STOP 3S2.5e, none of
which was drawing interest as it did I'M
der the Democratic administration, Mr..
Edmunds says there will still be 100000
available Dec. 81. this year. and he con-
cludes with a final attack on the Morris
administration for not delaying the sale
of the bonds until such a time as the en-
tire fund was needed, He declares they
should have been sold piecemeal.

Mayor Jackson Aequisssd.

As an echo of the Beer Club pro ceedines and cases in Mayor T. Fl. Jackson's Court, Mayor jackson was himself arrested on warrant svorn out by Harold StilIwell, Jr., tefore Justice of Peace Jonas Tomlinson, on yesterday (Thursday) morning.
 A change of venue to Esq. R. M. Henderson's court was taken and the trial opened up. A number of wit nesses were summoned at the in- stance of the prosecuting witness, young StillwelI. Several testified to Mayor Jackson having been, on a few occasions, connected with beer club but that it was more than year ago. and thathe quit the reorganization"
 Uncle Bob Howard swore that Mir. Jackson had been a member of the beer club but he didn't know how long ago it had been.
 Tom Harris, the ex- drayman, was the only witness who placed the time within the year limit, but he couldn't bring it any closer than July. 6, 1905.
 Justice Henderson couldn't see that the prosecution had made out their case in showing that the act had been committed within the past l2 months and hence he rendered a verdict oi mot guilty. ;

Beer Cluba" haven't the slightest i'll feelings to you, personally, but it is the principle involved in your acts which is so distasteful to every peace ful and law abiding citizen. The gait you are going is the way that leadeth to disgrace, death, and destruction.
 Only the past week young man was arrested at Jonesboro. who had been a "chipper in of Club up in Ken lucky. The story of the young man is enough to cause any other "club member to stop and think He clipped in and drank and in mo- ment of drunken frenzy he drcve a knife into the heart of his best friend, who was also member and "a fellow chipper in." He escaped but was captured, as above, and was carried back to stand trial for murder.
 This is but natural consequence of the orgies of drinking club" and from the disgraceful occurances that are reported from Brinkleys clubs it is but surprising that similar tragedies have not already shocked our com munity. If you will but stop to think you will see the inevitable consequence of youracts. Besides degrading and disgracing yourself, you are heaping shame and trouble on others. You are contributing to the sorrow and un- happiness of not only your own family but to the mothers, wives and sisters of others.
 You need not think your acts are not known, even if the officers haven t arrested you; small boys and children know of your shame and even tell theiLparents about the acts of crowds of certain men who gang around cer- tain drinking places. Your disgrace ful acts are well known and your sneighbors are syrnpathizing with your wife and children and you, yourself in your disgraceful weaknesses. Are you content that this should be? Certainly you do not realize what you are doingP Isn't it about time for you to change .up3
 The laW-abiding moral element of Brinkley are anxious for your help as useful, honorable citizen. in mak- ing Brinkley clean. moral town. There is no one who bears the slight est malice or hatred to you. because of your past mistakes, which if you persist in will ruin and wreck your life and bring disgrace to your family.
 It is Christian love for you that causes your friends to be anxious to see you change up your ways and "line up on the side of descency and honor. Now's the time to CHANGE.
