PRAISE FOR NEWARK

Editor K. H. Waddell of the Wynne Progress spent a few hours in Newark one day recent ly, and among the other nice things he says of our town and people is the following:
 "We had the occasion to visit Independence County last Satur- day on business and stopped off at the best town in the county, Newark, although 1t is much smaller than the county seat, Batesville. For the population it is a better town than Batesville, and had Newark the advantages sur- rounding that has Batesville, the latter town would not be in 1t. Residence property to day is worth more in Newark than 1t is in Batesville. The people around Newark are a wide-a-wake hust- ling set of people and are gener- ally the first to take hold of any thing new"

PORTER GIVEN TWO YEARS

J. E. Porter of this place was given two years in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga, in the fed eral court at Batesville Wednes- day, on a charge of using the mails to defraud.
 About year ago Porter sent an order to a Popular Bluff liquor house for whiskey, sending a check on the First National Bank of Newark in payment and sign ing the name of A. Magness to the order and the check. The liquor was shipped and delivered but when the check came back to the bank for payment 1t was not honored, as no such man had an account there. The liquor house turned the letter and check over to postofice inspector and a short time later Porter was ar rested.
 Porter disclaims any intention to defraud and says the order was sent by him in good faith at the request of a man calling himself A. Magness and who was at the time boarding with him and doing tinwork On some buildings being erected in town. He says Mag ness left town before the liquor arrived and he supposed left mon- ey in the bank to pay the check. When the liquor came, Johnnie Walker took it from the express office and delivered it to Porter. The check was unhonored and Porter has never been able to To- cate Magness, whose testimony, he says, would have cleared him of the charge.
 Porter was born and reared in Newark and has been in the bar Der business here for a number of years. He has wife and three children and is related to some of the best people in town.

and found that his brother had been instantly killed.
 The bolt struck the young man near the top of the head, produc- ing considerable abrasion and sing eing the hair. No other marks or wounds were visible and the hoe he was using was uniniured. The weeds and grass where he was standing were slightly burnt.
 The young man was IA years old and was one of the best boys in the community. He was a bright and industrious boy and dutiful son whose devotion to his mother was often spoken of by friends of the family.
 The funeral took place at the Methodist church Wednesday af- ternoon, Rev. E. A. Horn conduct ing the services, and the remains were buried in Blue Springs cem- etery.

LAWS TO BE SUBMITTED
Complete Copy of All Measures to be Voted Upon Published in
 This Weeks Journal

In section two of this issue of The Journal will be found the pro- posed laws to be voted upon by the people in the September cleo ton. The first is the T. J. bill, passed by the last legislature, to revise the revenue laws. This law will go on the ballot as Act No. 1. Next is the statewide prohibition law, initiated by the people and this law will go on the ballot as Act No. 2. Then comes the cleo ton law, which will go on the bal lot as Act No. }. The act creating a State Text Book Commission, prescribing the manner of its election and its duties and proyid- ing for uniform text books for the public schools of the state will be known as Act No. 4. Next comes the constitutional amendment li- hitting session of the legislature to 60 days, and which will be known as Amendment No. 13. Following this is constitutionalamendment providing for the recall of all elect i've public officers and prescribing the manner in which officers may be recalled. This will go on the ballot as Amendment No. 14. And last comes the constitutional amendment providing for the is- suance of bonds by towns and cities for public improvements, and which will be known as Amend ment No. Is.
 All of these are important mat ters to the people of the state, and in order that the people may be- come familiar with the merits and demerits of these measures, they will be published in the newspap- CTS of the state for six weeks, be- ginning with this week.
 The Journal hopes it's many readers will give these proposed laws careful study. They are
 
 weighty matters and a single cas- ual reading will not suffice to fully inform the average man of their full meaning and intent. As they are matters of common interest The Journal invites its readers to study and discuss these measures through the columns of this pa- per. If there is some good or bad feature of any one of these laws that especially appeals to you, let us have your opinion, briefly stated, as 1t is only by disscus- sion of these laws that full un- derstanding of them may be had especially by the average citizen who has not been accustomed to dealing with matters of this kind.

murrer; that he should be given an opportunity to present evidence to substantiate his charges and that no doubt many illegal votes were cast, and that if they were cast for Judge Pearce the contest ant should be given a chance to prove 1t, therefore their conscience would compell them to vote against the demurrer.
 J. A. Lancaster and Geo. M Thompson spoke on the uncertain ty of the ballots now being pure, after having been handled by so many different parties, and argued that 1t would be too big a task for the committee to undertake.
 c. A. Forester spoke on the in- convenience and expense 1t would be on the committee without any remuneration, and that the com mitteemen, as rule, were farm CTS and were needed in their crops.
 N. F. Harris discussed the many and various errors in Judge Craig's list of alleged illegal voters, and stated that he had numerous tax receipts and afidavits in his DO. session showing errors.
 T. A. Bryant said that personal ly he was a friend to both gentle men, but as he was representing the people of Gainsboro township, he thought it his duty to follow the wishes of a majority of his con- stituents, and that they were in favor of suppreSsing contest or other contentious.
 W. C. Sanders closed the argu- ment in a brief speech in which he declared that he was a friend to Judge Craig, having supported him in all his races, but that Judge Craig had questioned the integrity of the ballot in his township and he felt 1t his duty to raise his voice in the defense of his country. He then made many comparisons, showing that voters in his section of the county had been published as illegal when in fact they were legal voters and as a rule were good citizens whose integrity is above question. He deplored such tactics after the people had signi- fled their choice.
 A motion was made by N. F. Harris that the demurrer be sus- tained. The motion carried by a vote of 16 to 6, the negative votes being cast by S. M. Casey, T. A. Gray, s. B. Wycough (by s. M. Ca sey proxy) Ramsey Weaver Law renee Galloway (by s. M. Casey proxy) and J. A. Pate.

W.J.CALDWELL CHOSEN
Committee Fills Vacancy and Dis- misses Craig-Pearce Coun-
 ty Judge Contest

The Democratic County Central Committee met at Batesville Sat urday pursuant to call recently is- sued, Chairman J. H. Jimerson presiding and Secretary E. A. Hodges at the desk.
 Resolutions of respect to the memory of the late J. C. Stroud were offered by K. K. McHenry of Big Bottom and were unanimous ly adopted and were entered of record as a part of the proceedings of the meeting.
 A resolution was then offered by the same committeeman endorsing and designating w. J. Caldwell of Oil Trough as a nominee for Rep resentative to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. J. C. Stroud. This caused some little dis cussion, and the question was rais- ed as to whether a nominee could legally be declared by the commit tee. J. A. Lancaster called atten- ton to Section 2780 of Kirbys Di- gest which expressly provides that vacancies in nominations for eith- CT state or county offices may be filled by either the committe, a convention or a special primary. It was also shown that the Republi- can and Socialist parties in this and other states select their entire tickets through committees or con- ventions, and that the courts and election boards always recognize the validity of such acts. The sen timent was almost unanimous in favor of awarding the nomination to Mir. Caldwell in order to avoid the expense and time required to hold a primary. After the discus sion the vote was taken and MT. Caldwell was declared the nominee on a vote of 21 to l, George M. Thompson of Jefferson township casting the negative vote.
 The contest instituted by Judge A. J. Craig against Judge Cul. L. Pearce was then taken up by the committee. Attorney Ernest Neill, representing Judge Pearce, read the complaint filed by Judge Craig and then read the demurrer filed by Judge Pearce. MT. Neill argued the merits of the demurrer, and was followed by J. B. McCaleb and L. F. Reeder, who spoke in behalf of Judge Craig. The matter was then discussed by members of the committee. S. M. Casey and T. A. Gray argued that Judge Craigs case should not go out on de
