I possibly might remain here and attend to my private affairs and hold this office during the next term, legally filling all reuuirements. but having been train cd in the line that full value should be given for all compensation. l can not accept the office, knowing that ii will be impossible for me to render the service to the public that they would have the right to expect,
 Tn rendering back to the party the nomination of county and probate judge of this county, I do so with the fullest gratitude for the conldenes vou have shown in me by giving q nomination by an overwhelming ma iority for a third term to this. as 1 consider the most important office IT the county. I can truthfully state that the gift is returned to you with cleal hands and in conclusion may sound 2 note of warning by saving the pr2s- peritv of this county depends largo Iy on whom you select to fill this nlace for the term, beginning October 31. 1910"

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 MUST VACCINATE Board of Health Issues An Order That They Must
 Show Certificate.
NOT ALARMED HERE
Over Smali-P0N situation Few Cases Ire Reported aud ire We'll
 Quarantincd.

At called meeting of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, held yesterday at the mayor office and presided over by President A. E. Loving. a res oluton fathered by pr B. D. Luck was adopted requiring al children of the public schools to produce d ccrti- ticate from a physician by Ianuarv 2f, showing that they have a good vaccination mark or they will be re- fused admission to the public schools. The Board did not favor a compulsory vaccination order. but advised the res olution that all others, including the adults, be Xaccinatcd This action is taken to prevent the spread of small poN, Whict is prevalent throughout this section of the state and few here.
 The report ol City Physician W. II. Hlankenship showed that only three Cases were reported from white homes while the remaining 29 cases are thOSe of negroes. Nineteen of the 32 cases reported are quarantned at the Jefferson county pest house The phy- sicians declared that there is no oc- casion fo.sS danger, as the spread of tn" disease was not rapid and that almost every case thus far recorded is in mild form. Only one death, that of negro who did not receive the best medical attention, has resulted here.
 The physicians who attended the Board of Health meeting Saturday morning engaged in rather interest ing argument over the measurement of immunity from smallpox. Dr. .Blankenship, the city physician, took issue with Dr. J. s. Jenkins, sccre- tary of the board, as to the time limit for vaccination and it's effect, He contends that one vaccination in a lifetime is sufficent, while Dr. Jen- kins cited the authorities in United State Marine Service on the question. There is d wide difference of opinion among Pine Bluff physicians on this subject, some claiming that vaccina- tion should be every three years, some seven, and others oftener
 The Roard of Health ordered City DI,I-upian JQ1anl,nn hin n opi in a a all poor children free of charge, for which service he is to be paid by the city. Dr. Blankenship said that he had been yaccinating many poor peo- pie for some weeks gratis, but he questioned the authority of the Board of Health to issue orders for him. Those who are to be vaccinated free of charge have been requested to visit the city physician office Other physicians, it was stated, would vac cinate for $100 and 50 cents for each additional member of the family
 Dr. o. C. Hankison opposed a compulsory vaccination order on the ground that it was absolutely unne- cessary. He said every self-respect- ing family would comply with the law without being forced to do so and furthermore, that the officials of the city seemed to have the smallpox situation well in hand.

there is an occasion for the connecting road.
 As yet the city council has made no provision for the improvement of North Broad street, to complete the connection with the new Globe Roosevelt road, but such preliminary work connected with the improvement of this street has been made and active work will probably be taken up within short time. It will be necessary to change the present street line to some extent, and the necessary right of way has practically been se- cured, with the exception of that portion which crosses the property of the Old Dominion copper Mining & Smelling company. It is not believed that any great difficulty will be encountered in securing this right of way, and on the next visit to this city of Charles Sum ner Smith, president of the Old Domin ion, it is expected that this right of way matter will be settled.
 The new territorial highway between Globe and Roosevelt will effect big improvement on conditions surrounding travel between Globe and Roosevelt and between Globe and outside points in the territory as well, and its construc- tion will be eagerly awaited by the people of this district.

PART OF A HIGHWAYS
 SYSTEM OF ARIZONA
Gila County and Its Capital City Will Do Part in
 Improvement

Unless there is some hitch in the pres ent program, contract for the construc- tion of the territorial highway between this city and Roosevelt will be let next week, by the territorial board of con trol at Phoenix.
 Bids for the construction of this road will be opened at the office of the board of control one week from today. No tice of this action of the board has been advertised for several weeks and as many contractors are known to have been figuring on the work, it is more than likely that number of bids on the construction of the new road will be filed with the board.
 If a contract is awarded at once which will probably be the case, work on the new road should be under way by the end of next month, as no great amount of time will be required in pre-. liminaries. When work is commenced on the new road, its construction will be rushed to completion.
 County Surveyor Howard Wayne has practically completed the work of se curing data on the new county road which will connect with what is now North Broad street, at the city limits and the new highway, at its place of beginning, short distance below the city.
