THE NEGRO PRESS: a NECESSITY.

The student Of thought today is
IMPRESSED with tbs tremendous intlu-
hence welded by tbs great minds who
mould public opinion and direct tbs
mental forces marshalled BY their
;trsnchant pens through the tbs edito-
rial columns CT tbs great dailies and
| magazines of the reading public in the
worlds work, Before such an array
| of famous writers one must bow with
respect. It has accomplished much.
| has ingtiIIed and conserve ed morals,
| It has helped family life, it has taught
| and developed ability and given man
| his best business training, it has
tainted the schoclhouse and built the
hurChss, it has touched every phase
of human endeavor in the worlds
yreat achievements. The true press
: the voice of the reople-a burning,
| piritual guide of the public mind,
utterly self-forgetful utterly devoted
a great ideal of righteousness. The
,rouble is, however, this: There are
20 few such potent factors devoted
to the cause of Negro development
and uplift in every city and town of
the Union, with few exceptions. Yet
this is precisely the type of press for
which the great common people are
crying. This is the only type which
will hold thoughtful, reasonable men
and women together. This is not pc
culiar only to the Negro press, but it
IS true to a larger degree than is
healthful.
The Negro is a man and an Ameri
can citizen: he must have a free forum
from which he can speak like a man,
confer and plan movements looking
toward eventual emancipation from
the environment that holds him in
check and retards his onward march
alongside other peoples in the
worlds work. Through the Negro
press we can point to the deeds done,
to plans carefully laid, to widespread
cooperation for advancement, thereby
lending hope and inspiration to our
efficiency and rejecting the bad and
Vicious element among US; increasing
the clean and worthy apostles of SER
vie and sacrifice; initiating and
espousing the cause of education and
social uplift. and discouraging shams
ami mere cstentation finally, bending
every effort to make the Negro men
ard women Of America work for the
te st things in the economy of life
regardless OF their belief or disbelief
il unir.rcrtenl dngmas and creeds. !!
The mission of the press, black and
White. must lead ali men up. The,
Lexington News enters upon such !
in this city and county and
State.

 ansaS This Year

A prize of $50 in gold will be given to the Arkansas boy who makes the best record on one acre of corn this year. $50 will be given to the one making the second best record, and $20 to the one making the third best record.
 This offer is made by H. C.. Tasting & O., of Atlanta, Ga, and has been accepted and approved by T. H. Jeffords, state agent in the Boys Corn Club work. There are no strings tied to this offer; any kind of seed, secured from any source whatever, may be used. This IS only one of several prizes that will be offered to the winners in the boys corn growing contesk Tn Arkansas this year, and ever | one of the members of the Boyg Clubs should go after these valu- able prizes.
 Members of the corn club should not be discouraged by the cold wet season. Corn planted as late as the middle of June will make a good yield if properly handled. Remember that the season is back ward all over the state. Other boys will be just as late getting in their crops. Observe these two things; Don't blow the ground too wet. Don't plant until the ground is warm.

WRECKED DIPPING VAT

It IS reported that some one wrecked the cattle dipping vat recently put in at Charlotte by putting a charge of dynamite in it a few nights ago. A vat recently put in in the Skillet neighborhood was also wrecked in the same manner about a week ago.
 There is considerable opposition to the tick eradication work re- gently inaugurated in this county. Many people object to having their cattle dipped, and it IS SUD- posed that the wrecking of these dipping vats is the work of parties who are opposing the dipping movement.

BOB MAXEY IN
 TROUBLE AGAIN
Arrested in Pittsburg Pa, AIleg- ed to be Implicated in an
 Insurance Fraud

Robert E. L. MsYey, an attor- ney, formerly of Batesville, but more recently of Hot Sprinps, was arrested in Pittsburg, Pa, Mon- day by Deputy United States Marshal Robert McBurney and Postofiee Inspector 0. c. Pierce of Little Rock on charge of using the Uuited States mails for fraudulent purpose. The govern ment officers say that a joint judg- ment has been returned by the federal Grand Jury of Little Rock against Maxey and Henry B. Cope land, also of Hot Springs, alleging that they attempted to defraud the Royal Highlanders an insur- ance organization of Aurora, Neb., AN of $5,000.
 oCopeland is now in the Little Rock jail under d sentence of 15 months to the Leavenworth pen itentairy and the arrest of Maxey, the officers say, is based on a con- fession of Copeland. Maxey denied he ever took part in an insurance swindle, asserting that the govern ment officers had the wrong man. Maxey was committed to jail, but later procured $5,000 bail.
 Copeland is said to have confess ed to having collected .insurarlee for his wife while she was yet alive, from the Royal Highlanders. He IS said to have received $3,665.66 in this way. Last fall, he declares, he met man named Maxey, who said he could easily collect $5,000 carried in the Royal Highlanders. They arranged the details, but be- fore money was paid over by the insurance company, an irffesti- ,gatioRewas made.

BALLOT WILL
 BREAK RECORD
Many Propositions to Vote on This Fall Will Make Ballot
 Longest on Record

At this time it seems probable that there will be at least a dozen propositions submitted to the pee~ pie at the September election. If the people will only begin to in- form themselves on public matters, they ought soon to be able to qualify as lawmakers independent of the Legislature, which has heretofore monopolized that pre- rogatiVe.
 First, there are the two amend ments submitted by the Legislature one providing for the "grand-fath- CT clause in the election law, the other for the exemption of capital invested in cotton factories from taxes for a period of seven years, at any time during the next ten years. These proposed amend ments are being published now throughout the state.
 Then comes the T-J Bill, the principal issue in the recent guber- material race, which the people have referred by a petition of nearly twenty thousand names. Of the initiated bills, sufficient signatures have already been filed to insure a vote on two of them. One is by Attorney-General Nor wood, to limit the legislative ses- sion to sixty days, and 1t is pre- dicted that this will be adopted by an overwhelming majority. The other is the statewide prohibition bill, for which more than 14,000 names have already been filed.
 There are several proposed laws that appear almost certain of in- Iitiation. One of these IS the state banking bill, drawn by Hon. R. s. Warnock, of Magnolia, who al- ready has over 1000 names and is confident this number will be more than doubled.
 Another important measure Is the bond amendment, authorizing cities and towns to issue bonds for internal improvements. This has the support of the mayors and city officials of the cities and towns that would be most concerned, and E C. E. Taylor, of Little Rock, has general charge of the work.
 The Political Equality League of Little Rock has started a move ment to inaugurate Arkansas first real equal suffrage struggle through the initiation of the fol- lowing proposed amendment to

Governor 6G1oodroa0 1g1Hson

the Constitution: Article XAIV. Female persons shall have the same right to vote as male per sons now have, or shall hereafter have, under the Constitution and laws of this State
 The Republicans are working on a petition making changes in the election law, amending nine sec tions and providing for q more equitable distribution of election officials than they claim obtains under the existing statutes. The Socialists are also circulating an election law petition giving third parties representation on election commissions and at tie polls.
 The Federation of Labor is back of a proposed bill providing for the recall of elective officials, an other for the creation of a state textbook commission for the print ing and distribution of school books at the actual cost of produc- ton, and a third for the appropri- ation of $130,000 for the establish ment of state printing plant.
 The discovery of a joker in the enabling act by which the legis- lature sought 10 vitalize and put into effect the l. and K. amend ment although the supreme court has declared the act 10 be seif-op- eratiye-will stop a flood of local Legislation otherwise threatened under the law for direct law-mak- ing. Gen. Norwood has decided that no city or other political sub division of the state can initiate an act that will be inconsistent with the state laws on that subject. This decision will block the plans of Little Rock fans to secure Sun- day baseball through the imtia- tive, as there is a general law for- bidding 1t.
 Aside from the subjects enum- erated, the people will vote, as usual, upon the questions of local option in licensing saloons, the sale of wine, and the road tax. All these things will make next Sep tember's ticket the longest ever voted in Arkansas, and will pre- sent strong arguments in support of those who are working for tho short ballot.
