BENEDICT AT III.

Helena, Sept. Phillips county
boasts of the oldest benedict in this
state, this fact being settled for al
time yesterday when Sandy Alexan
der, aged III years, applied to the
county clerks Office for the proper
marriage certificate. His bride, Su
sic McGhee, was considerably more
modest and confessed to but half E
century of single blessedness.
Uncle Sandy, as he is known in this
part of the country, claims to have
first seen the light of day in 1901
and that he was in the earlier DAYS
hostler to President James X. Polk
being a grown man at that time anC
the father of three children.
The story of the old darby with re.
gard to his age is strengthened by the
statement of many of the older white
citizens here, who aver that wher
they were boys they recall distinctly
that the old negro was referred even
then as "old man Sandy"
In any event, Uncle Sandy was
married, and from general appear
ances he is good for many years to
come.

A MILD SENSATION
IN PULASKI POLITICS

Little Rock, Sept. 5.-At meeting
of the Pulaski County Election Com
sion held at 2 p. m. promptly We'd
nesday, the two commissioners pres
ent, DR.. E. f. Hodges, Democrat and
Gordon Campbell, Republican, certi-
fled out the list of judges and clerks
that had been agreed upon by them
the day before.
A mild sensation had been created
locally by the action of the Commits
sioners. Hodges and Campbell re-
fused to appoint the judges recon-
mended by all the county candidates,
and it has been openly charged that
Hodges had formed a coalition with
the Republicans. The Democratic
campaign committee demanded Hold
ges' resignation, but he refused to re-
sign. Roy Thompson, the other Dem
ocratic commissioner, voted for the
judges recommended by the commit
tee. He was ten minutes late for the
final meeting, and when he and sew
eral candidates arrived at the office
Of DR.. Hodges, the business had al
ready been transacted.

MONEY Is TO
BE DEPOSITED
WITH COUNTY TREASURER
GENERAL NORWOOD
ANSWERS QUESTION OF
SUPT. COOK.

Little Rock, Sept. An an opinion
given State Superintendent George B
Cook today, Attorney General Nor.
wood holds that school districts are
not required to deposit with county
treasurers moneys received from the
sale of bonds. He says:
These questions are not free from
doubt, but it is my opinion that the
district would not be required to de-
post the money with the treasurer,
unless the act under which the money
| is borrowed required it to be so de-
posted, and if it should be deposited,
in the absence of any express provis-
ion, | do not think the treasurer
would be entitled to a commission up
on it.
Permit me to say in this connec-
ton that the next general assembly
should pass an act requiring that all
moneys of school district, no matter
from what source received, should be
paid to the treasurer. In this way
We would have a permanent public
record of moneys received by school
districts and the manner of it's dis
bursement. In that event, money
borrowed by school district would be
in the custody of public official, who
is under proper and sufficient bond
for the discha rge of his duties
81 presume that all money that has
been borrowed has been properly dis
bursed, but it certainly is loose sys-
tenn under which number of the
school districts have been operating.
"If the legislature should think that
the commission provided for the
treasurer upon the school funds that
the law now requires to be paid to
him would be excessive on funds aris-
ing from the sale of bonds, it could
be provided that the treasurer handle
the funds for a less commission, or,
for that matter, no commission at

OPPOSES GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE AMENDMENT
JUDGE PRINCE BELIEVES 1T A
SCHEME OF CORRUPT
POLITICIANS"
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
| call attention to the proposed
Amendment No. IL to the constitution
of the State of Arkansas; and say,
that the people of the state are being
deceived. You are told it contains
the grandfather clause which
means that all parties whose grand
fathers prior to 1866 could not vote,
will be kept from voting, provided,
this amendment No. III is adopted,
and in this way, the negro will be dis
franchised.
There is no grandfather clause"
in the amendment. 1t plainly says,
that you and | and every negro must
be able to explain the constitution to
the satisfaction of three corrupt
judges of election, which excludes
any man, in case he is not voting to
suit two of the said judges.
This amendment makes no differ
ence between the white and black man
and is intended to allow a certain
gang of office holders" to appoint
corrupt judges of election, and under
the present election law and with the
said amendment prevent you from
voting, and to scratch out and
scratch in" and perpetuate themselves
in office. This amendment is a fraud.
Vote against it.
P. H. PRINCE.

bravely volunteered to pillow. Re-
monstrances did no good, and she
was seated on cultivator and rid

1t was soon demonstrated that she
could handle team and pillow as
well as a man. The field which she
cultivated looks as well, or better
than some near by which were cui-

Some Election Aftermath

Prof. j. W. Dinsmore. of Berea,
the republican candidate for con-
gress, who had no opposition for the
nomination. polled only 246 votes in
the county last Saturday. The
question now being asked about him
is whether he is a Taft or a Roose-
welt man.
The official count in Lincoln show
ed that Burch received 9l3 majority
over Puryear, one more than was
first reported; Sullivan got SO votes
in the county instead of 80, as first
given. and Holdam's plurality for
Circuit Clerk was l76. In the re-
publican magisterial race at Crab
Orchard. Typographical error gave
Judge Culton l0l votes when it
should have been 10 votes. Marsh
all Ncw!and, the democratic candi-
date there. who was without opposi-
ton, polled 126 votes.
Voters had little trouble in ''get :
ting onto" the primary ballots. One
voter at Rowland. however, is re-
ported IT, have declared that he had
never voted anything but the
straight democratic ticket in his
life, and he dodn't propose to begin
to scratch now. 81 he put one cross
onder the rooster and let II go ut

Harvey Helm got every vote foi
congress in the Shelby City precinct
in Boyle county. Not one was re-
corded against him. Going some.
Down in Adair county the Helm
leaders and the Sullivan workSrs
entered into an agreement that
neither side would use any money to
buy voters. Both stuck rigidly TO
the agreement. and as. a result. the
picking for the float was rather
slim there. This is stand that is
bound TO come in every election be-
fore long. What's the matter with
having such an agreement among
the candidates before the county
primary next yearf More Of this
