Y George.
A Democratic county convention
was held at the court house on July
Sth and delegates were appointed to
a senatorial convention A large
number took prominent parts in the
convention. but all whose names ap.
pear in the proceedings have passed
away except A. s. Yocum, Geo
O'Hara. VIM. McHale. M. j. Howley
and j, Ii. Mulcahy. DIT. Linegar
was the choice of the convention for
representative in the state legisla-
ture. Mr.. Linegar was nominated at
Jonesboro few days later
A Republican congressional con
vention was held at the opera house
in Cairo on July 18th and 14th,
which was an exceedingly turbulent
gathering. At times, according to
The Bulletin, lit surpassed in fury
and indecency any riot of any mad,
dened mob anywhere at any time.
At one stage of the proceedings "a
majority of the convention arose to
their feet, some OF them stood upon
seats. others crowded the aisles and
the orchestra box, all protesting loud
ly either against the other. 1t was a
perfect babel of loud voices Of men
imaddened beyond control, during
which curses and obscene epithets,
and Fvieleslt physical aenunciations
and insane threats were heard above
the awful turmoil The
chair called for the police Of the city
TO interfere. The contest from Alex.
ander county caused much contention
in the convention, and much loss Of
time Finally, the Damron delega-
tion headed by c. N. Hughes was ad-
mitted, as against the Thomas fac
tion, led by Mayor Thistlewood. On
the ninth ballot Congressman John R
Thomas was nominated by majority
Of FIVE, votes. Jackson county gave
its % votes to George w. Smith.

THE DOLLAR VS.. GOOD ORDER.

From q financial point OF view exI
Sheriff Davis has cause to feel well
pleased with his showing that the fees
collected BY him during the last fiscal
year and turned into the county treas
ury. exceeded the expenses of his Of
fice by $s.sa0.36-as per his report
printed elsewhere, 1t must be a
source Of satisfaction also TO the PEG

ever, that the saving Of money Is not.
always the best thing In the world,
and If it is done at the cost OF good
government. il may be positive evil
The Bulletin grants cheerfully that
exSheriif Davis has made good col
lector OF revenue; but when that has
been said, all has been said The
mistake which Mr.. Davis makes with
respect to the sheriff's office, Is the
same that Mayor Parsons has persist
emily made with respect to his police
department. He has looked upon it
through the dollar mark and has ac-
cepted balance on the right side OF
the ledger as proof of efficiency OF
service to the people
The truth is, neither the sheriff's
office nor the police department Is in
tended to be a money-making estab-
lishment It's highest function under
the law and by the demand of the
people. is conservation OF the peace"
OF the community. Peace and good
order must be had II enterprise Is to
assert itself effectively to build up a
community. and in so far as ex-Sheriff
Davis and Mayor Parsons have failed
to promote these. they have failed In
their highest duty to the people who
elected them.
That they have faiied---that they
failed signaily. dsastrously--is not
open to dispute, for it is written In
the history of this community in q
way that will never be forgotten and
should never be forgotten. II is folly
to say that they were not to blame
1t is cowardiy In them and in Others
who stand high in authority, to place
all blame sfor evil in their respective
departments upon their underlings
They. as heads of the departments
are to blame above all others. The,

There is a very wide range Of music be-
tween so-called popular music and classical
music WHICH the majority of people appar-
entity do not care for. The best Of this mu-
sic is found in our modern foreign and
American light operas.

"I'm Afraid to Come Home in the Dark

Friday last, 1t was the first time that
c. VI, S. as whole had chance to
compliment the school team on being
successful in the contest In the
morning, just before the classes
passed for the first period. Principal
Midkiff in behalf of the school ex-
pressed his hearty appreciation OF
the boys efforts and hoped that they
would have a chance to display their
talent in a successful way again in
the near future. Later in the day
Snpt. Clendenen also congratulated
the boys and paraphrased President

to get the habit of not only being
successful in debates but all their
other school work as well.

The beginning was a slight itching,

I combed my hair the scalp became

would be wet with blood. Most OF the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
