Work for Our Sunday Schools,

Editor Tines
Please allow us space in your val
ualable paper to make a call to our
Sunday Schools, In our county
conventions last spring the schools
voted to retain our connection with
the state organization and agreed
TO pay $50 for the promotion of the
state work, Bro Cecil who is our
County Treasurer for the Sunday
Schools, reports only SIS Of the
assessment paid, This leaves S32
to be collected and as the state
workers are very much in need OF
help and our time for our next con.
vcntions will soon be here, Let
each school that has pledged itself
to pay send it to Bro, W, H. Cecil,
Harrison, at once and if you are
not pledged, don't you think YOU
would like to have Il part in this
great work.
These state workers devote their
entire time to the promotion Of the
Sunday Schools Of our state and
when your school sends in 500 you
become n part in this great work
Perhaps you cannot go IN person to
organize schools but you can assist
in this way, We are going to ask
Bro, Cecil TO publish the names OF
all the schools that have contribut'
ed TO this fund up to the 10th OF
March, want to ask the Superin'
tendent to put the matter before
your schools and this spring when
we meet in convention let it he said
we have met our obligations in full,
also let each one make special effort
for membership and conversions in
your school The children Of Boone
County are needing your best efforts
and prayers, Let us rally to this
work with greater zeal than ever
before remain your faithful ser.

EdItOr Times;
$6O,OOO,0O0is ours and we, the peo,
pie, should take steps to recover it,
Now is the opportunc time,
wish to speak through the TIMES
of matter Of vast Importance to
the people of the State of Arkansas
and of all the Southern States,
lust after the War between the
States, and at a time when our
Southland was laid waste and des-
titute and its people struggling for
bread; scant Of clothing-having to
pay as high as zoe per yard for cal
leo, and 30c per pound for bacon;
under the Reconstruction hend, but
shall not dwell on Reconstruction,
as all who passed through it know
how hard it was on our people; but
during those dark and gloomy days
the United States levied and collect
ed cotton tax, which tax amount
ed in the aggregate to $6O,000,000,
and the government has had the use
of this money for nearly fifty years;
and said tax money rightiully be-
longs to the citizens who paid the
same or to their legal heirs,
And since this large sum was TN.
lawfully collected, and is now
most wrongfully held, and as it
would now be impossible to return
said tax, so Illegally collected to the
parties who paid the same, and as
many of the Confederate veterans
who paid this tax are now INDECENT,
and are not able to do manual
labor, and have proved their
loyalty 70 the government of the
United States for nearly half n CEN
tury; if | am the choice of the people
of Boone county for representative, !
shall introduce into the next legisla-
ture a Joint resolution memorable
ing this, and faithfully work for its
passage, urging Congress TO pass a
bill returning this 0,O0O,OOO to
the States that were forced to pay
that unlawful tax, and have been
out of the use of this money, that
belongs to them so long,
Justice demands the return of this
illegally collected tax, All OF our
States should take up this matter
and get busy God is on the side OF
the Just hope every Confederate
Camp will take up the matter and
continue to work till victory is ours,
A resolution should be passed at our
next annual Confederate Reunion,
on the 9TH, Sth and 9th of May,
1912, at Macon, Georgia, for the re-
turn of the money | honestly be-
lcyc this sum should go to the
surviving cx.Confcdcrates and their
widows. However its disposition
will be a question for the Southern
States to settle, The question that's
now before us is To- get Justice from
our national government,

Teachers who expect to have their

not intend that a teacher who has
secured first grade shall Just quit
reading or die an intellectual death
It is wholly within the examiners
discretion rs TO renewing license
The law intends that the examiner
shall renew q license ifh thinks the
holder is entitled to same, How
can teacher merit his license if he
