Killing AT Bartons, Ala.

Charles Clark, alias Charles Ed
wards, was killed at Bartons, Ala.
about 10 a m Monday by Tom
Barrett. The murdered man
and Barrett, SO it is stated, had
been gambling and drinking whia-
ky at Cherokee the day preced-
ing, Clark or Edwards getting the
best of the game. He went to
Bartons where Barrett followed
him. Bareett borrowed a she t
gun ostensibly to kill squirrels
and finding his victim in a store
called to him to come out. This
Clarke refused to do at first, tell
ing Barrett to put down his gun.
This Barrett refused to do but at
last Clark walked to the door of
the store in front of which Bar
rett was standing. The latter
presented his gun and fired a load
of No 5 shot into the abdomen of
his victim, killing him Instantly.
He then fled and at last account
had not been arrested. Clark
alias Edwards married Miss Miss
Lily Goode, daughter, of James
Goode, last summer, who lives 4
miles east of Iuka, but only lived
with her a month and deserted
her.

Working Roads BY Contract.

Some persons opposed to work
ing the public roads by contract
are claiming that the money rails
ed for tnis purpose by taxation
will be squandered, and that no
real progress will be made in road
building. Now, we do not know
whether this objection is honestly
urged or not, that is we do not
know whether those using it be-
lieve what they claim or not.
They may be simply using it as a
means of blocking the effort. If
sincerely believed we think the
fear unfounded. While our pres
ent Board of Supervisors has
been subjected to some severe crit
ieisms recently, every one who
has investigated knows that we
have never had a more intelligent,
C )nscientious and economical
Board. This being the case it
follows that they will use the mon
ey raised for roads prudently,
with business sagacity and to the
very best advantage. OF course
a reasonable man will not, and
others need not, expect the sys-
tenn to arrive at perfection in a
few months. 1t will take time to
systematic and put the roads in
good order, but after they are
once put in good shape it will be
comparatively easy to keep them
so.

As many of the convicts as can be maintained without cost to the state should be put to work on the public roads; but they should build state roads instead of county roads. The plan apportioning convicts to the various counties is not feasible. At the most an av- craze of not more than five con- victs to the county would be avail able, and the cost of transporting and guarding five men would be as great as if free labor were em- ployed. Let the state take the convicts and build a state road. Local self-interest should not be allowed to block the plan. We don't care whether the work is be. gun in Clay county or Miller, ir Benton or Chicot. Let road be laid out just as a railroad would plan a new line-from some point to some other, where the traffic seems to need 1t most. Let tha
 road be built by the state ant when it is completed let another one be started. If the work i. permitted to proceed without inter
 ruption it will be matter of only few decades until Arkansas i
 . traversed with as many miles 0

ed prohibition plank in the plat forn. Had he been anything less than the big man that he is, he would have said to him: 'You left your pulpits to go on the stump and tell the people that my victory meant that statewide pro- hibition was impossible during my administration; you told them unless they nominated Hinemon there was no hope for the cause; if you thought you were telling the truth then, why are you not con- sistent?"
 Bnt, inst cad, the party's leader insisted that platform should con- tain a plank demanding a plebis- cite on the prohibition question in the year 1909, and to this proposi- tion the temperance organizations agreed, and there was no contest over the question on the floor of the convention.
 Now that these organizations have decided to ''press for statu- tory prohibition we look for no prohibition at all for at least anoth- CT two years. The whiskey interests themselves could have not devised more cunning scheme to defeat prohibition than to have the pro- hibitionists divide their forces and demand something entirely differ ent from that to which they were pledged and for which the domi- nant party and the governor him. self stand.
 If statewide prohibition is sub mitted to a vote of the people and is carried, as we believe 1t will be, it will be enforced without delay. If statutory prohibition bill is passed, it will simply mean an end less litigation in the courts, during which time the law will not only not be enforced, but will become so unpopular from its non-enforce- ment that future prohibition legis- lation will be impossible for years to come.

As regularly as the legislature meets the newspaper and stamp bill is introduced and with a great flourish of trumpets, is gloriously defeated. A few days later it is always quietly "reconsidered" and passed. This bill provides for 40 copies of daily paper reporting the proceedings for each of the 134 members. This amounts to $500 copies day and at the price al- lowed, two cents copy, means a neat pickup" of SI2, 1864 to the Little Rock dailies for the session of 12o days. The same bill allows each member 25 cents in stamps a day, costing the state S542o for the session.

SUPERSTITION IS VERY OLD
For Many Centuries the Horseshoe Has Been Regarded as an Elm
 blem of Luck.

Many superstitions have been traced, with some defniteness, tc their origin, but that about the horseshoe has not. It has been traced back to about 1850, but there the antiquarians had to give it up At that time, most of the houses in the west end of London had a horse shoe nailed over the door as protec. ton against witches and evil spirits
 t was believed that witch could not enter house so protected. Many houses in this country have horse shoe attached to them in some way and sailors, who are nearly all SUI perstitious, nail the shoes up in theiI ships for luck" Out of this old superstition grew the notion that fl is 'lucky" to find an old horseshoe and it is said that the more nail. there are in the shoe when you pick it up, the more luck you will have
 Some time ago an office boy, an- swering the telephone for the first time in his life, and not knowing how to use it, was told that, when the bell rang, he was to answer it.
 When, therefore, he heard 1t ring, he picked up the receiver and shouted:
 "Hello! Who's there ?"
 The answer came back: "I'm 1O5."
 "Go on," said the boy. '1t's time you were dead" ."-Tit-Bits.

The bill requiring corporations to have semi-monthly pay days seems to us an unwarranted inter- ference with the rights of private interests. A corporation should be allowed to fix its time and method of paying its employees, as 1t is entirely optional with the em- ploye to work for the corporation. And if the employees are so im- provident as to be unable to go from one pay day to another, it is all the better for them that the corporation cares for their earnings at least one month at time.

MISTAKE OF THE pRoHIBITIoNIsTs

We very much regret to read in the current issue of the Baptist Advance that "at a conference in this city last Wednesday between a number of legislators and repre- sentatives of the Church Temper ance Conference, the Anti Saloon League and w. C. T. U., it was agreed unanimously that we press for statutory prohibition"
 Our first reason for regretting this is that we favor statewide prohibition and believe majority of the people favor it. No more cer- tain means of securing its defeat could have been adopted than the action which the Advance re- ports has been taken.
 Our second reason for regret is that the temperance forces have broken faith with their agreement made with the dominant party of Arkansas in convention assembled at Little Rock last June, thereby placing themselves in a vulner- able position for attack. In the platform committee of this conven- ton the whole question of state wide prohibition was threshed out. Representatives of these same or ganizations which now announce that they will demand statutory prohibition then and there agreed that they would not demand statu- tory prohibition; that the pledge of the party to submit the question to vote of the people at a special election to be held in 1909 would be acceptable to them; that the temperance forces of Arkansas would fight it out along that line and be content with the verdict of the people.
 The Anti-Saloon League is a great power in Arkansas, and its leaders have in the past generally displayed too much sagacity to be swayed by the many misguided zealots who would confuse their ranks by side skirmishes instead of pressing forward in solid phalanx to the main battle. It was with great difficulty that these leaders succeeded in avoiding defeat for their cause by making statewide prohibition the issue in the last Democratic campaign, when large number of prohibitionists undertook to rest their chance of victory with the success of John H. Hineman, whose defeat from the first was inevitable.
 When the Democratic conven- ton was assembled, these same in- spired geniuses who had done everything by fair means and foul to thwart his victory, came to Geo. w. Donaghey, the recognized leader of his party, and demand
