Commissioners Appointed.

The State Board of Election Com
missioners Saturday completed the
task of appointing election commits
sioners for Cleburne and Scott coun-
ties, the last counties to be taken up,
were as follows:
Cleburne-Tom Brice, W. A. Cobb
and William Johnson.
Scott-R F. Paine, W. C. Mankin
and c. A. Atkins.
The board has taken no action as
yet in the case of the Pulaski county
appointees. W. M. Kavanaugh and
Mayor w. G. Joslyn, both VI whom are
candidates in the coming election.
The board members stated Saturday
that they were waiting for the two
men to decide whether they desired
to withdraw as commissioners. They
stated that they understood Mayor
Joslyn would withdraw as commits
sioner and that another Republican
would have to be appointed, but ex-
pressed the belief that Mr.. Kava-
naugh would probably withdraw as
candidate aId retain his appoint
ment as commissioner
Under the law a candidate cannot
act as election commissioner.

State Capital Notes

Send Prisoners Home for Sunday.
That there is honor among thieves
has long been accepted as a fairly
we'll establish ed theory, but that the
average female negro habitue of the
police court should respect a parole
is considered to be a little out of the
ordinary. With the Little Rock po-
lice this is not considered the least
wonderful, from the fact that the
Custom OF allowing we'll known negro
women prisoners to go home Saturday
night and return Monday morning,
has been followed for some time, with
out any unpleasant consequences.
That this custom has prevailed is
not generally known, however, and
the casual visitor to the city hall Sat-
urday afternoon was surprised to hear
an officer giving special instructions
to a negro woman who was being told
she might go home to spend Sunday,
with the understanding that she re-
port back to the city Jail Monday
morning, to complete her sentence.
This system is working most salts
factorily to the police, especially
since the department has been moved
into the new city hall Negro women
who are fined in police court and are
not able to pay the fine are allowed
to work out their fines in the city
hall, doing scrubbing and other labor
of this kind. The police declare that,
after working six days, the use of
soap and water in generous quantities
tends to better the prisoners physical
condition materially, and for that
reason the women are encouraged to
go home for Sunday. They say that
rarely ever does a negro woman go
home Saturday night, before conf
pleting her sentence, that she does
not return Monday morning to re-
sumo her work. II this should occur
all patrolmen are notified and within
a short time the derelict is again in
the tolls.
Another feature which appeals to
the city is that the negress feeds
herself on Sunday, whereas the city
is compelled to feed her while in the
lookup.
The janitor at the city hall has
charge of the women who are work
ing out their fines, and he has no
trouble in keeping them at work
They are not guarded, but none have
been known to take French leave,
for they realize thoroughly that they
will be brought into court again, il
they should leave, and they have a
very wholesome fear of Police Judge

Reports Unsatisfactory.

State Superintendent George B.
Cook has received reports from sew
eral county examiners that are far
from being complete, and will have
to be returned for correction. In one
of the reports the examiner omits
everything in relation to the enroll
ment of pupils in the schools of mis-
county. Another failed to report the
number of school houses in the coun-
ty he represents and another failed to
designate, in giving the number of
teachers, those who are white and
those who are negroes. Other reports
contain minor emissions, all of which
will have to be supplied in order that
the state superintendent statistical
reports of the schools may be abso-
lutely correct.

Sheriff Hugh Miller left Van Burea
Monday night for Paris. Logan county.
with w. F. Jones, white prisoner in
dicted by the recent Crawford County
Grand jury for murder in the first
degree. When arraigned for trial at
Van Buren,, Jones, through his attor-
neys, S. R. Chew and w. H. Neal, ask
cd for and was granted a change OF
venue, Judge Evans sending the case
to Paris, Logan county, for trial.
Jones lived on a farm at Natural
Dam, in the northern part of the coun-
ty, belonging to Horace Swearengen,
for whose murder he is now being
tried. He was a justice of the peace,
having been elected on the Republi-
can ticket two years ago For some
cause Jones went into the field where
Swearengen was at work and provoked
a quarrel, or rather tried to, Swearen-
gen keeping his team between him

had picked up his lines and started
his team, when Jones ran up behind
and, it is alleged. reaching around
him, disemboWled him with one stroke
of large knife, Swearengen dying

Fully 100 witnesses have gone from
the little hamlet up in the mountains
of Crawford county to Paris, the most
of them making the trip overland and
in covered wagons, taking their provi-
sion with them, with the intention of
camping out near Paris, should the
weather be favorable. The little COM
munity that has always lived in peace
and harmony has been torn asunder
by the tragedy While the caravans
of covered wagons en- route to Paris
from the vicinity of the tragedy were
compelled to travel the same road, the
witnesses for the state led that bear

DR.. Bond Defends His BIZ.

DR.. ]. B. Bond of this city, author
of the pure food law, which has been
declared faulty by Deputy Commits
sioner of Agriculture William Stod-
dard on the ground that it is not prac-
teal in many respects, Tuesday con-
ferred with Mr.. Stoddard at the state
house regarding the law. Dr. Bond
declared that he believed the law a
good one, and defended it. The con-
ference was not held for any specific
purpose, the two simply talking the
matter over. Mr.. Stoddard thinks
the law is weak and has already an
nounced that he will suggest that
either a new one be passed or the
old one be changed at the next session
of the legislature
DR.. Bond, in the course of the con-
versation with Mr.. Stoddard, declared
that he did not believe it is right to
compel a man who puts out hundreds
of bottles of soda, pop or anything
ing the stand that it is waste c.
time. Mr. Stoddard merely listened
1t is known, however, that he is op-
posed to the present law He declares
that it is impossible to investigate
conditions affected by the law in the
state in the first place, and that it is
impossible to prosecute cases OF vio-
lation of the law afterward. No ar
rangements have been made for
either investigation or prosecution.

Now international Affair.

Count q. Morani, chief consul for
the Italian government in the United
States arrived in Van Buren, Tuesday
morning from New Orleans and spent
the greater part of the cay in the Of
fee of Superintendent Murphy of the
Iron Mountain, gathering facts con-
corning the mobbing of the strike
breaking Italian laborers brought to
Van Buren, last June by the Iron
Mountain to supplant the striking car
men there.
1t will be remembered that mob
of blacks and whites went to the
yards where the Italians were quarter
ed in bunk cars and opened fire upon
them, slightly wounding a number
of the Italians. The visit of Count
Morani at this time was to gather sucl
evidence as his government would
need in presenting their claim at
Washington for damages. The count
before leaving secured all the names
of the men indicted for participation
in the riot.
1t has been feared by the railw az
officials and many citizens at Van
Buren, that international complica-
tions would arise from the affair and
the visit of a representative of the
Italian government at this time shows
that their fears are we'll founded

pay ITO cents per acre. On 10 acres
you would pay 81 cents; on 100 acres
you would pay s6.7o TO the county. and
you would not have to pay any taxes
whatever on your improvements. Now
figure up your tax for both State and
county on land worth $40 per acre.
Your entire tax would be IL 7-10 cents
per acre, or only S11.70 a year on one
hundred acres. If your land Is worth
$50 per acre your entire tax for state
and county would be 5S IL cents per
acre or $3.50 on one hundred acres,
and this would be the only tax the
farmer would have to pay Thus you
can see that Wilmington would pay as
much as all the rest Of the State put
together, and so it should, for IL has
more land value than ell the rest OF
the State, and receives more dement's
than ell the rest Of the State.
The receipts of the state this year
inst ended were ss,O6164. The entire
salary list OF the State was $57,5Os'SO'
The state paid out last year 562,o47.ol'
our receipts from railroads, telegraphs'
and other franchises amounted to Sz4S,-
l474s1. Add to this the 100000 col
lleoted from land values. Thus the
stats would raise $64s,474.S1, and tnle
would give the state ample revenue
ana we could exempt all other Things
from taxation. Yours truly,
