The Brigham correspondent

three games ont Of four played this
season with the Garland champions.
The Elbertas had the understanding
that they were playing for the cham.
pionship cup which is nov held by
Garland, and which they refuse to
turn over to the local boys who have
won the cup fairly according to the
bylaws governing the awarding The
Garland boys will tour part of Idaho
in the very near future and propose to
take the cup with them for display -
Both mines knew that they
were not playing for the cup
and the Champions are not GO
ing to play League Mines for
it, either. If Brigham thinks
they can win the cup, just let
them bring along their home
team and try it (Leaguers ex-
cepted) and if they win it, the
Champions are just men enough
to give it up.

Our Prosecuting Attorney Wanted To
Raid Moving Picture Scene.

A good story is told at the ex-
pense Of Prosecuting Attorney
Elmore Of Mammoth Spring,
which can be appreciated most
by those who know his reputa-
ton Of fighting dispensers OF
booze,
Mr.. Elmore, when he became a
candidate ror prosecuting attor-
ney two years ago, declared that
If the people would elect him to
that office he would clear the dis
trict Of everything that looked
like booze joint. In January
Of this year, he opposed the is-
suanee Of license for saloons at
Mammoth Spring and after the
license was issued, he began to
raid them and seize their intoxi-
cants on the ground that the
court had no right to issue the
license, and carried the matter TO
the supreme court. On u recent
visit to Little Rock, In connection
with that very case In the su-
preme court, with his mind full

GREAT RACE AHEAD.

Just as we expected, Senator
Jeff Davis has issued a statement
in which he denies that he has
any intention of entering the
race for governor. He declares
he would not have the governors
office if it were rendered him
without opposition, and that when
the proper time arrives he will
announce as candidate for re-
election to the senate.
The next race for United States
Senator bids fair to be one of the
warmest political contests this
state has witnessed in sol m Q
years. 1t appears now that there
will be only two candidates, SEN
ator Davis and Former Congress-
man S. Brundidge of Searcy.
Two better campaigners cannot
be picked in the state Of Arkan-
cas-, and q joint debate between
these two politicians will be we'll
worth going many miles to hear.
Senator Davis is better known
over tho state perhaps than Mr..
Brundidge, but the latter served
the Second district in congress
for several terms, in which body
he was regarded as leader and
thinker CT unusual ability. The
ability of Mr.. Brundidge is rec
ognized throughout the state,
and we predict he will give Sen.
ator Davis the race of his life.

WORK FOR THE
TAX. COMMISSION

The Arkansas Tax Commission,
which body was created by an
act of the last legislature, has
completed a table proving the
irregular manner of assessing
property in this state. One
table shows the number. total
valuation and average value of
mules that are assessed in each
county in the state, and some
striking examples of irregularity
are shown therein. Here are a
few of them:
In Pulaski county, one of the
richest in the state and contain
ing the capital city, mules have
an average assessed value of
only S42, while in Sharp county
mules are assessed at S62 per
head.
In Benton, one of the best
counties of northwest Arkansas,
mules are assessed at S31 per
head, but in Baxter county, in
the rough hills Of North Arkan'
sas, the average assessed value
of mules is S64 per head, more
than double.
Mules are assessed at $42 per
head in Sebastian county, an
other wealthy county. In Stone
mules are on the tax books at
S76 per head.
n In Garland county mules are
assessed at $40 per head. In
\ Cleburne county mules are on
\ the tax books at SIS per head.
Craigbead county mules are
assessed at $50 per head, but in
n Searcy, q rough and much poorer
county, mules have an assessed
\ valuation of SS8 per head.
\ Many other examples could be
given, but those given above are
A sufficient to prove that something
is radically wrong with the sys-
tenn OF taxation in this state. 1t
has been a matter Of common
i knowledge for years that prop
erty has a greater assessed val
uation in the smaller counties,
where there is less wealth and
land poorer, than in the larger
and more wealthy counties. In
other words, the poorer counties
have been bearing an unjust pro.
portion Of taxation, but there has
been, apparently, no method OF
correcting this evil which was
known to exist,

Commission to regulate the ir-

Killing weeds by spraying: To
make the spraying solution, empty
a hundred-pound sack of sulphate of
iron into a fifty-ton barrel; fill to the
chine with water and stir with q hoe
for a few minutes until dissolved.
Strain through several thicknesses'of
cheesecloth tackled over manhole Of
the spraying machine. Apply with a
powerful spraying machine, produc.
ing q real mist free from drops. Use
about fifty gallons to the acre, and
spray on bright, warm day or on a
dark, damp day; it does not matter
so long as rain does not come within
eighteen or twenty hours. This spray
will not harm grain crops, and will
kill wild mustard and various other
weeds.
