Under the Democratic administra- ton four Agricultural Schools have been established in Arkansas, show ing the attitude of the Democracy towards the farming of the State. These schools are located at Russell vile, Jonesboro, Magnolia and Mon- ticello, and 90 per cent of the at tendance each year has been farmers sons and daughters. They have been sustained by generous appropriations and are doing great good in advanc- ing the agricultural interests of the State. The Democratic party is pledg- ed to the support of these insti.r- tions.

The financial condition of the State is distressing the Republican party in Arkansas very much. They have forgotten the fact that there was the vast sum of 67 cents in the State Treasury when Clayton's cohorts walker out of the State House How that 67 cents managed to stay there has always been a great mystery. It must have rolled into corner and been discovered when the Democratic broom swept the Republican dirt cut of the vault.

The vail of the Republ cans of Arkansas for a free ballot and fair count is enough to make a dog laugh when we review their record, as outlined in the history of the party while in power in this state. Bayonets and red ink were used free ly to keep old-time Democrats from voting. They may be better morally than they were about thirty years ago, but we doubt it.

The Bridge Commissioners at Pine Bluff made some damaging charges against the editor of the Graphic, which. upon. their face, seemed plausi- ble, but when the Graphic explained the matter, they amounted to nothing. The trouble is that the charges may have circulated to places where the Graphic's explanation may never reach. This is convinc 'ng proof that there are nearly always two sides to a proposition, aud justice demands al- ways that both sides be heard. The editor of the Graphic is vindicated.- 'shers dan Headlight.
 It wasn't the Bridge Commissioners who made charges against the editor of the Graphic. If it had been they might had been sustained by the proof. It was an official of the Tax payers Pretective Association and the charges met the same fate as others that have filed on. The Tax payers charged the editor of the Graphic with signing the Bridge peti- tion tw ce, but it developed that the Taxpayers in listing property owners from the assessors books did not stop with just two names to carry their point. They. reported seven property owners for three and six for two and as the investigation proceeds the number will doubtless be noreas- ed accordingly. No we didn't need We were vindicated when the charge was made.

LITTLE ROCK AND PINE BLUFF
 AND THE ROADS BETWEEN.

Within six months, possibly sooner, there will be macadam pike from Little Rock and Argenta to the lief ferson county line by way of the c. N. Alexander place and Scott station, a distance of 22 1-2 miles. From the county line to Pine Bluff, distance of 27 miles, the road is DOW being graded under the direction of County Judge Philpot. Jefferson county peo- pie are talking of macadamizing this stretch, which would give pike road on the north side of the Arkansas river from Little Rock and Argenta to the vicinit of Pine Bluff.
 On the south side of the river the route to Pine Bluff is from Little Rock through Sweet Home, Wrights- vile, Woodson, Farrell, Redfield and Jefferson. The road has been im- proved for nine miles out of Little Rock and IS miles of the Jefferson county end has been graded. A part of the route lies in Perkins township ill Saline county. Jefferson and Pulaski counties are included in the act of 1909, authorizing the creation of road improvement districts, but Saline, county is not. To forward the build- ing of pike from Little Rock to Pine Bluff Perkins township could be an- nexed to Pulaski county by the legis- lature and a road district could then be organized in that township. Or the legislature could pass an act to creat special road district in Per- kins township.
 A macadam road to Pine Bluff would oe an inter-county, trunk-line high way, such as should connect all the county seats and centers of population in Arkansas.-'Little Rock Gazette.
 Had not Governor Donaghey vetoed Senator Toney's special act, providing for the building of state macadam road with convict labor, at practically no cost to the property owners or the state, Pine Bluff and Little Rock and possibly the state farm at Cummins would have been on one of the most beneficial good roads, to be found anywhere in the South. But notwith- standing this action on the part of the governor, Jefferson county is deter mined to have good roads and is ready to join with any other county ill the state in the good roads movement, This county at present is building roads in every direction. We have al thirteen miles macadam road towards Lincoln county on the South and an eight miles macadam road to the west, with a three-mile branch macadam road towards Camden. All of the -osds in tie county are beiag graded oi have Deen stsdsd by Co, nty Judge i'rllpot and co1.tty travel is made nsre satisfactory in this county. lief fcIson county $ not behind i;. good roads building.

he waste of money, but waste of time.
 MT. Collier and his anti-Bridge asso- ciates, what few remain, ought to ac- cept defeat gracefully. They have exhausted every expedient known to the legal fraternity. Further barley ing in the courts will be equally in- effective for the evidence at hand to sustain the resolution of the Board will overcome any allegations that might be filed by the now lonesome opponents.
 For years Pine Bluff and Jefferson county have waited this opportunity. Without success in the Free Bridge movement, which has become so gen. eral now that it is a foregone con- clusion that it will be success, the people of this section of the state can not enjoy the progress and develop ment that rightfully belongs to them
 The idle charges of unfairness, steam roller methods, lack of time in which to make their case, etc., cannot be substantiated by the evidence. It is an easy matter to make charges but it is rather hard sometimes to prove them, of which fact MT. Collier was thoroughly convinced the past week.
 The Free Bridge is now assured. As soon as the contract is signed for it's construction work of the building of the Pine Bluff and Northern Rail- road will begin. Pine Bluff and Jef- ferson county is beginning to see the light of day It has been kept back in the march of progress long enough.

cided last night at the meeting OF the

CITY ATTORNEY

South Amboy Health Board
Straightens Out Matter.
upeoioI to the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy, Sept. 27:-Misun-
derstandings regarding the Board of
Health suits were Strengthened out
at the meeting of the he 18th board
last night and the bill of the city
counsel was ordered paid. City
Counsellor Pearse had a bill for his
services in bringing suits against
several persons for neglecting to con-
meet with the sanitary sewers. There
we're seven suits instituted, but
failed of prosecution, and the board
thought this bill should not be paid
on account of counsel not being pre-
sent on the return day. Counsel said
there certainly was a misunderstand-
ing, as Inspector Parison told him,
as he understood him, that the mat
ter was settled satisfactorily to the
Board of Health. After the matter
had been fully discussed 1t was OBJ
vious that a misunderstanding had
taken place. Who was responsible
for it vas not fully determined, new
ertheless the Board of Health paid
for the misunderstanding as it was
unavoidable.
The counsellor gave his interpre-
tation of the law referring to the
PluDIDClS uOilS ouOllCSS III tuO Slly
He said every one must give bonds
in the sum of 5000 and register be-
ore doing business. AS two persons
were doing business in the city with
out complying with the law, on no
ton a resolutin was passed that the
inspector notify all persons doing
business as plumbers to give bonds
and qualify in five days. Upon their
failure to do that, counsel will be
Instructed to prosecute.
A resolution was passed ordering
the inspector to forward all the
names of the property owners who
have been notified, and have failed
to connect with sewer, to the city
counsel for prosecution.
Those present last night were:
President e. H.. Enlnerj Secretary
Thomas Gilsinon, Joseph Wilson, ].
