n
The Randolph County Democrat
m Convention was held in Pocahon-
tas last Saturday, The Convention
was called to order by A. j. Witt,
chairman of the County Central
Committee, and upon motion of ].
w. Campbell c. E. Pringle was
elected chairman and L. F. Blank
enship secretary, pro TEN, OF the
Convention.
The chairman appointed com
mlttee on credentials as follows:
Dec Mock, w, F. Spikes and j, A.
MeCarroll. The committee, after
having retired tor the purpose OF
ascertaining whom were qualified as
delegates, reported that all town
ships were represented either in
person or by proxy, except two
Reyno and Little Black, and they
recommended further that those
listed by proxy be entitled to vote
as though they were regularly elect
ed delegates.
A motion was then made and
carried that the temporary organiza,
ton be made permanent.
The secretary then submitted the
findings of the convention held
Saturday, March 30, relative to the
candidates receiving the nomination
in the recent Democratic primary
election, and the same was adopted
by the convention.
A motion was made by I. w.
Campbell that the chairman OF the
convention be empowered to appoint
delegates to tie State and District
Conventions, and that he be made
chairman of the committees. The
motion carried by vote OF 2l ayes
to IA nays.
A motion was then made that
the convention proceed to elect
committeeman to the different State
and District conventions. The
motion carried and the following
were elected:
Railroad Commissioners Conven'
tion-John D. Campbell
Congressional E. Dalton.
Judicial-H. NJ. Bishop.
Senatorial-J. A. McCarroll, by
acclamation.
The Convention then proceeded
to elect County Central committee
men from three or four town
ships from which the election of no
committeeman had been certified to.
The results was as follows:
Reyno-D. w. Reynolds; Rich
ardson, IL. NJ. Crockett; Spring
River, j. J. Brooks; Water Valley,
W. r. Haas.
A resolution endorsing Champ
Clark, as the Democratic nominee
for the Presidency of the United
States, was introduced by IL. M.
Bishop, and by almost unanimous
consent the delegates to the State
Convention were instructed to vote
for an instructed delegation to the
National Convention favoring Mr.
Clark for President.
A roll call of the committeeman
showed that there was not a quorum
present, whersupon Mr.. Campbell
made a motion that the convention
be allowed the privilege of assisting
in the organization of the new
Central Committee, and that mem
bers of convention be allowed TO
vote on all questions tAe same as
members of the committee. The
motion brought forth much dis
cussion, the fight for the opposition
to the motion being led by A. j.
Witt. On roll call the motion was
defeated the vote being IA ayes to

PROCLAMATION

W hereas, IL has been represented
to me that on account Of the long
hard winter, the late spring, the
excessive rains and bad roads in
Randolph county, many OF the Cit
izeus will be unable to arrange for
the payment of their taxes by the
10th day of April, and,
Whereas, 1t appears to me that
1t would be just to extend the time
for the payment of taxes in said
county for a reasonable period in
order that the citizens may have a
better chance to meet these obliga-
tions, aud that no hardship would
be caused any one by so doing, now,
Therefore |, George w. Dona-
ghey, Governor of Arkansas, under
and by virtue Of the power and
authority vested in me by the con-
stltution and laws of this state and
acting IN my official capacity, do
hereby extend the time when the
penalty may attach for the non-pay-
ment of taxes in the said county of
Randolph until the 10th day of
May, A. D., 1912.
In testimony whereof | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
to be affixed the Great Seal of State,
In the Executive Chamber, City OF
Little Rock on this the Sth day OF
April, A. d., 1912.

TIME EXTENDED FOR
PAYMENT OF TAXES

Hon. Earle W. Hodges, Secreta.
ry of State, ever mindful Of his
Randolph county friends, went
before Gov. DonagbeY Monday of
this week and asked him to extend
the time for the payment of taxes
in Randolph county until May 10th.
Mr.. Hodges had been advised of
the condition of things up here
the bad roads, late spring, etc., and
so he lost no time in doing a good
turn for his friends. No penalty
will attach now on Randolph coun.
ty taxes until May 10th. The
Governors proclamation follows:

Ocean Phenomenon.

In a recent pilot chart of the Brit
ish meteorological Office many obser-
vations of the singular phenomenon
called white water" are collected.
1t is more frequently seen In the trop-
ical parts of the Indian ocean than
anywhere else, and it impresses some
observers as weird. CHASTITY and awe
inspiring. The ocean has milky
look and the ship seems to be passing
through kind of luminous fog. in
which sea and sky appear Joined and
the sense OF distance Is lost. The
phenomenon is believed TO be due to
some form OF phosphorescence but a
satisfactory explanation of it is yet
lacking.

JURY'S STRAW BALLOT
ACQUITTAL FOR MRS. GRACE
Jury Wasn't Trying Her, However,
We're Tied Up on Case.

Atlanta, April Bon a straw ballot,
taken by regular jury in the Fulton
criminal court, Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace
was yesterday found mot guilty by
twelve Atlantians, who gratuitously
voted on her case because they got
tied up and couldn't agree on the
case they We're paid to try.
They argued, it is understood, that
the only evidence on which the We
man might be convicted was the state
ment of her husband. and one member
of the jury, of legal turn of mind, sue
ceeded in convincing his fellow-j jurors
that it would not be proper to admit
nat evidence.

farms of the United States

According to an advance census
bureau bulletin on agriculture, there
are in the United States 6,361 ,5O2
farms containing total of 878, ,798-
600 acres, Of which ATS, 8,452 900
acres are improved. The land in
farms represents somewhat less
than one-half, 46.2 per cent. of the
total land area Of the country,
while the improved land represents
somewhat over one-half, 54.4 per
cent. of the total acreage of land in
farms. Improved lands thus repre-
sents almost exactly one-fourth of
the total land area of the country.
The average size of a farm is 1871
acres, of which, on the average,
1872 acres are improved.
The total value Of farm property
reaches the enormous sum of $40,-
991 900, 900, of which over two
thirds represents the value of build
Ines and about another one-sixth
the combined value of implements
and machinery and of live stock.
The average value of all farm stock
reporting is $6,444. The average
value of all farm property an acre
Of land in farms is $46.64, and the
average value of land itself per acre
$32.4O.
It is significant fact that where
as the total population increased Fl

ulation increased 34.8 per cent. and
