TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
 OF JEFFERSON COUNTY

Without wishing 10 influence your votes for either of the other candi. dates, for circuit clerk, and with DO personal malice to Mir A. F. McNeil. l wish to make a statement as foi. lows: simply that you may judge of his democracy, and hence his clairn to democratic support
 Tn 1908 I was the regular demo- cratic nominee for constable of Bar raque township, having won the nom ination fairly, before the white dem- ocratic voters of the township, at the regular primary election. that nomina- ted county and township officers.
 Messrs. Harwell and Matthews were the nominees for justice of peace. at the same election. At the general election following Mr. McNeil. who is now asking the democratic nomina- ton for circuit clerk. ran as an in- dependent candidate for constable and defeated n1e. This was done. charge, with the negro voters of the tOwn- ship, and caused the defeat of one of the democratic nominees for justice of the peace, in the township, by ne- gro republican, Tom Mingea, by name.
 An analysis of the vote of the town ship will show this 10 be true.
 Barraque township has two voting precincts, viz: Redfield and Kearney. Nearly all of the negroes voted at Kearney. less than a dozen voting at Redfeld.
 The vote at the two precincts for constable and magistrate was ar fol- lows:
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1909-11-11

You will see that Matthews, the defeated democratic nominee for mag istrate and myself ran together, at each place and that McNen and the negro ran together
 An analysis of this vote shows such a close parallel between the vote at each place in the vote cast for Me- Neil and that cast for the Negro re- publican candidate for justice of the peace, Tom NiDgea, as to leave nc doubt in an unbiased mind that tho same or practically the same votes were cast for each.
 This statement of the votes is !a'en from the returns of the General Elec- ton as certified to by the Election Commissioners, and nine tenths of the white voters of BarraQue township. will bear me cut in my deductions.
 Of course this $ free country, and a man may do as he pleases. so long as he violates no law, but every white man knows the need of party loyalty, in this section, and when a man asks for party nomination he should have 9 clean record as to party loyalty, and 10 stain of conf vance however remote with the negro republican element in politics.
 l give this state out 10 the Democrats of Jefferson county, so that you may judge for yourselves just how much Mr NcNeil is entitled to your support.
 I have no interests as between the other candidates, but do feel that any man who asks a democratic nomi- nation, at the hands of his party, should show clean party record. and not have even suspicion of collusion with negro Republicans to defeat re- guiar Democratic nominees.
 Respectfully yours for Democratic principles. Y. H. FORT. 1929 te 12-1

COLONEL WATERMAN
 WON HIS POINT
Finally lhduces the State to Aid in Repairing the Leyee in Front of the State Farm in the Linw0Od and Auburn Lcvee District.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 10.-An agreement has been reached between the Arkansas Penitentiary Board and the LinWood-Auburn LeVee District by which the caving bank of the Arkansas river at the state farm is to be repaired at once and further caving prevented.
 Former Attorney General w. F. Kirby, representing the board; Col onel Waterman, president of the 1evee board, and Messrs. Walbridge and Miller, representing the Iron Mountain attended the conference.
 It was agreed that the state farm should be assessed at a 20 mill rate on $100,000 valuation for two years, and 10-mll rate on the same valuation for the next year. This would force the board to pay about $5,000 for the states portion of the work The levee board obli- gated itself to pay s16,000 on the work and the railroads will pay S2,- 500. It is estimated the work will cost $23000 and the levee board will have to pay the difference be- tween the amount paid by the rail- road and state and the actual cost. The bank has caved to within 150 feet of the levee and if it should cut through to the levee, thousands of acres in the LiuwOoG-Auburn district. besides the State Farm, would be subject to overflow Much caving at that point would take the river into the lakes of the farm, thence to Cypress Creek, which IS but a short distance away, and thus give the river an outlet to the Mis- sissippi at a point short way above Arkansas City.
 The revetment work on the river bank will commence at once, the work being done by the engineers of the levee district. The willow for the work is to be taken from the State Farm.
