 The Halloween party was being held at Pointer hall, and crowd had gathered on the porch about 9 o'clock. The porch was attached to the main brick building with concrete fasten- ings and had recently been built and tested. It gave way without warn ing.

In his reply, Mr. Hodges stated that the bonds are only good to retain as souvenirs of the days when carpet bag" Republicans had the people of the state of Arkansas by the throat and made good use of the opportun- ity. The bonds were issued during the Republican regime, but repudiat- ed as soon as the Democrats came in- to power. They are of no value now. The Democrats contended the money was never used for the purpose for which the bonds were issued.
