EXPLAINS CHARGES
 AGAINST LOCKE
,Jackman Says HarrisOn's Statement Regarding Accused May Create
 Wrong Impression.

Cornerstone, Ark, March II. Edi- or Graphic:
 The sta,.ement made by Dr. w. W. Harrison ill an issue of your paper last week, regarding Richard F. Locke, charged with embezZlement of funds, of the Cornerstone Mercan- tile Co., arrested by Sheriff Brew ster at Boston, and brought to Pine Bluff, where he was releaged on bond furnished by Dr. Harrison, is calcu- lated to impress upon the public the idea of persecution by this company
 We asked Dr. Harrison to have the Graphic correct this statement, which has not been done. Dr. Harrison $ 5tatsfnent was to the effect that he did not believe MT. Locke gully as charged
 Dr. Harrison was one of the friends of this company who, two years ago, told the firm that he thought that Mir. Locke was liviag beyond his salary, and even charged That he paid Mr. Locke check, 1s- rued by another party and endorsed by him (Harrison) and that Locke pocketed the money and never gave his account credit for the check.
 We secured the services of A. J. Roraldson, an accountant, who care fully checked up our books, and found that over seven hundred doi- lsrs had never reached the ledger, never posted to MT. Lockes account.
 On the frs: Of January an inven> tory of stock was made, when we found the stock nearly 9 thousand dollars short, which would make our losses with Mir. Locke about seven tlca hundred dollars,
 We had Mir. Ronaldscn to cheek back only eighteen months, when MT. Locke had been with this company about tEree years.
 I have many friends in Pine Bluff and canno,. think that they would believe that I would do an injustice to any man. However, this statement may place the matter differently with those who may be disposed to believe that I am persecw.ing the young man.
 Our books. together with the statement made by MT. Ronaldson, will appear in court when the case shall come 70 trial, which will be sufficient evidence.
 Yours very truly,
 R. s. JACKMAN,

Many Improvements Have Been Made at Local Public School Through
 Efforts of its Members.

The press correspondent of the Lakeside s. I. A. has been asked to tell something of the work accomplished by this association, so that Sunday readers would get a better idea of it's works.
 I shall divide the benefits into two great classes, material and spiritual.
 The grounds have been filled in, a cement curb and walk put around the half block, and broad walks tv the front entrances This keeps out much dirt and the children's feet are no So muddy or wet, the entire building has been cleaned. (Some of the cobwebs were ancient) Each teacher and his pupils are trying to make their room the most attractive.
 The windows have new shades, clean, cool looking, sash curtains and pot plants and the change is revela- tion of possibilities.
 Clothes and books have been furn- ished unfortunate children and few pictures put in different rooms.
 Two book cabinets, and between three and four hundred books secured for library. It is joy to see how eagerly they are read, educating par ents as we'll as children.
 Dr. Jordan kindly provided a penny box, for each room, and the children are trying to save money for needed things that was before spent at the corner grocery. A much needed les son in economy and self denial.
 A very good sweet-toned piano has been secured (and paid for, except eight dollars, I believe) which has added much to the pleasure and discip' line of the children. They march beau tifully Two prizes have been offered and pupils have won them.

HIGH SCHOOL. BOYS
 IN BASEBALL TEAM
Coach Bassett Hopes to Develop
 Some Good Material Here This

For quite while a great amount of interest has been shown in the organization of the 1912 baseba I team at the High School and al : though the weather has been unfa vorable, number of the boys have been at work during the past week and from the present outlook pro- missing bunch of youngsters will rep resent the "HIi'' this year.
 There seems to be a lack of "slab artists who have had very much eX- perience, but as Coach Bassett has had quite deal of experience in baseball he says he can easily train some of the boys ''to deliver the goods'' and in Sorrells and Christo- pher, two boys who have good coll trol and plenty of speed, he will be able to keep his word. The infield will probably be covered by Few, Matthews and Allen and several others are trying for positions who arc equally as good, altogether making up fast bunch.
 There is any amount of material for the outfield and the prospects are good for winning team this year.
 Coach Bassett deserves great deal of credit for the work he has done this year and although he has not produced any championship teams he has done much in arousing the athletic spirit in the school.
 If the weather is favorable the boys will begin real work this week working out every afternoon on the lot west of the school building.

What q pity, 1t is to see so many people with thin, wispy hair, faded or streaked with gray, and reallze that most of these people might have soft, glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color and lustre if they would but use the proper treatment There is no necessity for gray hair under siXty-five years of age, and there is no excuse for anyone, young or old, having thin, struggling hair either full of dandruff or heavy and rank smelling with excessive oil.
 You can bring back the natural color of your hair in a few days and forever rid yourself of any dandruff and loose hairs, and make your hair grow strong and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For generations common toring and preserving the color of the hair; and Sulphur is recognized by Scalp Specialists as being excel lent for treatment of hair and scalp troubles.
 If you are troubled with dandruff or itching scalp, or if your hair is losing it's color or coming out, get a fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your drugglsf, and notice the improvement in the appearance of your hair after few days treatment.-Special Agents Mann -Tankersley Drug Co.
