II IS I'D to You. Gentlemen.

The waiciy of theRepubllcan speak
ers during the campaign. on of the
chief claims in the Republican plat
form and campaign book, was that the
Democrats had created number Of
useless offices, says the Kentucky
State Journal. 1t is now up to them
to make good, and it is the duty of
Governor Wilson to call the attention
of the General Assembly to those use
less offices and recommend their abol-
ishment. OF course we do not know
just what useless offices were referred
to, but W. might suggest that among
the offices created since the Democrats
took charge in 1900 are two assistant
mine inspectors. This was thought
necessary because of the large increase
in the importance of the mining inter-
ests of tic State. Then there are two
labor inspectors created to look into
the condition of child labor in the
State and to ameliorate If possible the
condition. that had grown intolerable
in some of the other States. The Au-
ditOr's force has been enlarged. A
place of fire marshal has been made.

for the Republicans to do some lop-

ORIGINAL DOCUMENT
The Origin of the Famous
Tune and Story,
THE ARANSAW TRAVELLER "
The Fiddler, His Captivating
Music and Talk Which
Led Up to II.

Colonel Sandy Faulkner, the origi-
nal "Arkansaw Traveller" was born
in Georgetown, Scott county, KY,
March 2, 1903. He came to Arkansas
in 1929 and settled in Chicot county
on the Mississippi river as a cotton
planter. In 1889 Colonel Faulkner
with his father, the late Nicholas
Faulkner, a Virginian by BIRTH, took
up his residence in Little Rock, where
he died august 4, 1874, at the age of
II years
1t is we'll known throughout the
Southwest that Colonel Faulkner was
the original personator of the AR
kansaw Traveller" 1t was his pride
to be known as such. The story, 1t is
said, was founded on a little Incl
dent which occurred in the campaign
of 1910, when he made a tour of the
State in company with Hon. A. H.
SEWER, Governor Fulton, Chester Ash
ley and Governor Yell. One day in
the Boston Mountains the party ap-
preached a squatter's for information
of the route, and Colonel Sandy" was
made spokesman of the company.
It was upon his witty responses the
tune and story were founded. On the
return to Little Rock a grand banquet
was given in the famous "bar ROOM"
which used to stand near the Anthony
house, and Colonel Sandy" was call
ed upon to play the tune and tell the
story. Afterward it grew in populari-
ty. When he subsequently went to
New Orleans, the fame of the "Arkan-
saw Traveller" had gone ahead of him,
and at a banquet, amid clinking
glasses and sparkling toasts, he was
handed a violin by the then Cover
nor of Louisiana and requested to
favor them with the favorite Arkan-
sas tune. At the old st. Charles Ho-
tel a special room was devoted to his
use.
