FATHER KILLED BY
DAUGHTERS SUTTOR
Glenn WackerIy instantly Killed by
Grover Garrett Near James
town Friday Night

Glenn Wackerly, residing near
jamestown, was shot and instantly
killed Friday night near his home by
a young man named Grover Garrett.
1t seems that Garrett was in love
with l9year-old daughter of Wack-
erly and wanted to marry her, but
Wackerly was very much opposed to
the union and threatened to kill the
young man If he ever asked for the
girl and kill her mother, his wife, If the
girl ran away and married.
Friday night while Wackerly and a
neighbor were engaged in a game of
cards in the woods near his house the
young man came up with a gun, and
after few remarks told Wackerly
that he loved his girl and she loved
him, or said she did, and he wanted
his consent to marry her. Wackerly
grabbed his knife,s which was lying
open before him, and started for Gar
rett, and Garrett ran few steps and
wheeled and shot him, killing him in
stantly.
A coroner's inquest was held and
Garrett surrendered to the officers. 1t
is thought that his plea of self-defense
will acquit him.

OLDFIELD MAY
OPPOSE CLARKE
Popular Congressman From This
District Probable Candidate
For u. S. Senate

Congressman. w. A. Oldfeld of
Batesville is considering the matter
of becoming a candidate for the Unit
ed States senate to succeed Senator
Jas. p. Clarke at the end of Senator
Clarke's present term.
OF course it is too early to make
any definite announcement of his in
tentions, but many of Mr.. Oldfeld's
strongest friends hope that he will de-
eide to enter the race. 1t is a safe pre-
diction that Senator Clarke will have
opposition anNmany believe that Con-
gresham Oldfield could easily defeat
him, as it is we'll known fact that
Senator Clarke is not very popular
with the people, while on the other
hand MIR. Oldfield stands close to the
people and enjoys their confidence and
is more able and forceful campaign
err than Senator Clarke. Mr.. Oldfeld
succeeded one of the ablest men in
congress from Arkansas and has
made nota BILE record, a record that
marks him as one of the ablest men in
the lower house of the national law
making body.
Senator Clarke has not definitely
announced his own intentions with re-
ference to asking for another term, al
though it has been generally accepted
that he would run again. 1t is believ-
ed that Gevernor-elec Robinson has
his eye on the senate, but when he will
run is not known, whether against
Senator Clarke next time, or wait five
years and enter the contest with jeff
Davis.

When gets point where need improvement mental

business of direct legislation, having
just graduated from the primer class
with fair averages, they will not rest
content with nine or ten proposed laws
and the Arkansas ballot will grow I'M
til it will take a week to make the
count. Therefore something must be
done.
Another lesson of this election is
that the voter, as a class, is not a
trained law-maker. But this may
come with practice. The final figures
will show that as many as 1000 failed
to vote either for or against some of
the measures, through indifference or
lack of understanding. And this
Notwithstanding the fact that all the
proposed measures were published in
full for six weeks in about 100 news
papers of the state, at least one in each
county and in most instances all the
papers ia each county.
More votes we're cast on Act No. 2,
statewide prohibition, than on any
other question, even more than ON the
governors race.

ELECTION METHODS
TOO CUMBERSOME
Recent Election Shows Need of
Some Way to Expedite Count
and Avoid Delays

The Arkansas voters have just had
their first inning as law makers, and
the results furnish food for consider
able discussion aud for conjecture as
to the future.
One of the first and most important
things suggested is that some means
must be adopted for expediting the
count. Many of the counties did not
make their officials returns for ten
days. This has caused not only a
great deal of confusion and uncertain
ity, but has been the unfortunate
cause of suspicious and even open
charges of fraud In many of the eoun-
ties that have been especially close,
and therefore slow. There is possi-
bility of this later on forming the bas-
is. of proceedings to test the legality
of the election in some precinct, or
even county affecting some matter of
great public interest.
The Little Rock papers have taken
up the question, leading politicians
are discussing it, and with the assist
ance of the country press, some prac-
teal reform can possibly be brought
about. At this election there were
nine questions submitted to the people,
rather complicating the ballot, con-
work of the judges and clerks. And
the people were new at the game In
states where the Initiative and Refer
endum has become familiar, there are
as many as forty or fifty questions
submitted at one election, and at re-
cent election in Oregon the official bal
lot was seven feet long.
In the recent election in this state, in
some of the larger precincts, the judges
counted for 25 hours before they finish
ed the task. What would have been
the result if there had been fifty acts
and amendments instead of nine?
Several expedients have been sug-
gested. The voting machines In use
in New York and few other states
enable the Judges to know every total
as soon as the last ballot is cast. But
the voting machines are very expen-
sive. The candidates might be assess
ed certain per cent at each election
until they were paid for, when they
would become the property of the coun-
ty This would be the ideal way of
handling an election where the ticket
is long and complex. Then, again,
another solution might be found in
having two sets of judges, one to count
and tabulate the ballots as they are
cast, which would enable them to an
nounce the result within short time
after the close of the polls.
WheE the people have learned the

QUIET H0nE WEDDING

A quiet but beautiful and impressive
home wedding took place Monday ev-
ening at 5 O'Clock at the beautiful
home of Dr. and Mrs. V. L. Pascoe,
when their oldest daughter, Miss Van
Pascoe, was united in marriage with
Herbert Benson of Swifton. The Rev
a. II. Dulaney, pastor of the Metho-
dist church performed the ceremony,
which was witnessed by only few in-
innate friends and relatives of the
family. The bride wore gray travel
ing suit, with accessories to match,
and was attended by her sister, Miss
Yirl Pascoe.
The wedding was the elimination
of romance that had its inception a
number of years ago. The two were
childhood sweethearts, having formed
a mutual attachment when mere child
rem and have been devoted lovers, al
most since the time they first met

in hog pen, in order that others may
live in palaces. There were others too
numerous to mention.
But one little incident recall. We
came near having a collision with a
flotilla of small pearling crafts and a
house boat on which lay hundred
sleeping babies, little boys and girls,
who were dirty and covered with gnats
and mosquitoes sucking all the life
blood and vitality from them. In
stantly Bell jumped upon nail keg,
in the bow of the ferry boat and re-
cited the following piece of poetry
from the pen of Mr.. Gray, mot Clip !:
Full many gem
OF purest ray serene
The dark unfathomed cave,
OF ocean bare
Full many flower
Is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness
On the desert air.
Those poor devils caught the inspir-
alton and tied on to our ship.
Ii would take volumes to describe
or tell all that happened so shall not
attempt to; words are inadequate.
After we reached the source of Salt
River, and before we disembarked i,
each one lay fiat on his stomach with
his eyes wide open and repeated the
following obligation:
[ in the presence of all on board /,
do wish to affirm that | am well pleas
ed, and am highly elated, over my joy
ride; also wish to state that the fire
of inspiration is brightly burning in
my bosom; promise faithfully that

that I will do all in my power and as
sist in any way that l can in prepar-
ing the Democratic nominees for this

these promises | make, binding myself
under no less penalty than having my
terbacker taken away from me and
having my left hip pocket torn off my
pants and presented to the Queen of
Justice. All these promises | will keep
