Letter From w. S. GdknDbeH

w. S. Campbell, a son Of that GAL
liant old man, Tom Campbell of
Pouehkeepsie, writes us a good let
ter from Fayetteville. Our native
modesty would ordinarily cause us
to withhold a letter containing so
great a personal compliment as he
pays us, but the letter as whole
should appeal to this section so
strongly that we give it to the Rec
ord. We remember Mr.. Campbell
when he taught school here.
J. O. Wasson.

CAMPBELL's LETTER
"You will be surprised to Get this
letter; in fact, you may have forgot
ten the writer. | taught three
schools at Etna, and there are few
spots in the world which appeal to
the romantic sense in me more than
does the country around Mount
View. Every time | pick up the
Record promptly look for Mobley
items, and now that you are back
there again to write them up, | am
sure of many treats and an occas-
ional flash Of genius and beauty of
expression, which seem to be yours
by inheritance. | am not saying
anything against any other writer
Mobley has produced--they are all
good. But you touch cord OF
memory occasionally that vibrates
a long time after the paper is lost.
my father grew up as a boy
|
working for Joshua Wann, Old jim
Wasson and Giles Baker. 1t would
do your heart good to meet him
and hear him tell of the days before
you were born, and even afterwards
He lived a long time in the little
log house that sat on the east hill
side west of the road about midway
between the lWann and Hindmar
homes, north Of old Mt. View church
That was when he was working fol
Wann. Many's the anecdote have
heard him relate about your father
Capt. Wann, the Bonhams, the Will
kersons, the Bakers, and other old
settlers in that country.
"Your remarks a few days ago on
the condition of old Mt. View and
the present status Of school and re-
lieious life in that community,
made me want to get off to myself
and dream, and dream, and dream,
and wonder why 1t is that apathy
has arisen where enthusiasm and
energy once abounded May ! say
that | attribute this to the fault Of
our school systemY Everything in
school life tends to draw the youth
Sharp County record., 1912-03-01

away from farm and country lie.
1t is nothing short Of tragedy. Inc
very energy, ambition and intelll-
eence that put young men and
women to the front in school life,
and took them away to the towns
and cities, would have developed
that country into a paradise OF pro-
ductiveneSs and public enterprises
that would have compelled the ad-
miration of the country and rail-
roads would have been built through
there. What is true of that section
is true of any section in our state.
When you take this ability out OF a
community, you take out the slim
ulus to religious zeal and accom-
plishment.
Let any man with powers OF
comparison and conclusion stand
on the familiar old spots in that
community, and contemplate the
loneliness of some of the deserted
farms, and what other conclusion
can he reach? would not for a
moment cast disparaeement upon
those who have chosen that for
their lifetime home; but let these
remarks be taken for what they are
worth. The leaders in school life,
when | was teaching there, are ev-
cry one gone to other sections OF
our state, or United States. Those
most prominent in church life at
that time are either dead or incapac-
itated by old age or i'll health
DO you know where could get
a picture of the old Mt. View church
and of Etna school houseY And
especially do desire a picture of
the old Wasson home, and the home
of Capt. Wann or any place about
their farms. If you have kodak
and have ever taken any such
pictures, would be very grateful
to you if you will send me the
negatives so can have some made
from them.
Three cheers for our grand old
Sam H. Davidsonl ! cried like a
child when | read his article in the
Record recently. The man in whose
honor it was written was an uncle
of mine, and merited every word
spoken of him.
Nov, Brother Wasson, may all
the success and JOY attend you in
your latest choice of home. They
need you there. They need more
like you. Stay with them, and
keep saying the good things that
bubble up within you"

Goods OF

GOODS of Quality are the only
kind worth while. That's the kind
we sell. When you buy cheap
goods you are taking chances. The
only reason some9goods are cheap
is because they are not worth
much >. :. :.
WE sell nothing that we cannot
guarantee in every respect. We
rely upon h e satisfaction our
goods give our customes to keep
all our old customers and get some
new ones also. :. :. :.
WE buy our goods from those man

take no chances goods are

A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

will permit him to 90 so. But
when he does it he is inviting al
most certain trouble. With the
law behind him the defeated can
didate who believes he was defeat
ed by republican votes is certain to
institute a contest and throw them
out. That's what the law was
made for.
The Record holds no i'll feeling
toward the republicans of this
county. Many Of them are our
very good, warm friends. Certainly
there are no better citizens in the
county than just a whole lot of re-
publicans whom we might name.
We are not arguing the question
from the standpoint of whether it
is either right or wrong for repub-
licans to vote in a democratic pri-
mary. We have attempted only
to give to our readers a few facts
as they relate to the holding of the
coming primary, and as these facts
really exist
The Melbourne Times issues this
warning:
We want it distinctly understood
that if any candidate who has not
paid his announcement fee is ell
ected to the Office to which ne as
pires the publisher ofthis paper will
retain a lien on said office until
said fee is paid. Got that?
Well gamble that Editor Estes
wouldn't give the price of an an
nouncement fee for the chance Of
holding office some lizard county
candidates have. Sometimes the
finish" is as plain as pig tracks to
everybody but the candidate.

The editor of the Calico Rock
Progress refers to the Records

correspondent is poetical and
philosophical genius; a peacherino

fellow inwardly and externally.

republicans anu i0puo ,
IN var6e numbers participated there
in. The result was that after the
primary was over a great deal OF
dissatisfaction was expressed by
defeated candidates and democrats
all over this county with the man
nor in which the primary election
was conducted. Indeed, much dis
satisfaction was expressed before
the primary was held, and the cen
tral committee was roundly scored
for having ordered such a primary.
This year the central committee
has ordered strictly a democratic
primary. We understand there IS
objection to this action in certain
localities, which only goes to prove
again that all the people cannot be
pleased at one time.
The last general assembly passed
an act to provide for the contest
of primary elections" under which
it is contrary to law for any person
to vote in any primary election in
this state unless he is member OF
the political party conducting the
election. Those who care to read
this law may find it on page 342
of the Public Acts of Arkansas for
1911, Act No. 37l. There are eight
sections to this act, and the entire
law is too lengthy for publication
here. Section one reads:
That all persons who are quail
fled electors under the laws OF this
State, and WHO ARE MEMBERS
OF A POLITICAL PARTY UNDER
WHOSE DIRECTION AND SUPER
VISION THE PRIMARY is HELD,
BUT NO OTHERS, shall be entitled
to vote in primary elections in this
state
Then the act provides at length
the manner in which contests shall
be brought by defeated candidates,
In section six you will find this;
They (meanine the committee
trying the contest) shall have pow
er to purge the ballot of all illegal
ballots, INCLUDING THOSE OF
ANY PERSONS W HO AR E
KNOWN TO BE MEMBERS OF
ANY POLITICAL PARTY OTHER
THAN THAT UNDER WHOSE
SUPERVISION AND DIRECTION
THE PRIMARY ELECTION WAS
HELD. They shall also have the
power and 1t shall be their duty to
award a certificate of nomination
to the person who received the
greatest number Of legal votes in
said primary,
If this law had been on the
statute books at that time no doubt
there would have been contests
following the last primary held in
this county. We suppose that, in
the absence of this law, and because
of the fact that the central COM
mittee left the gate open to the
republicans in the last primary,
and because of the further fact
that the candidates entered the
primary with a full knowledge of
the conditions, no republican votes
could have been thrown out of the
last primary by a contesting can
didate, But 1t Is different this
year. The central committee has
ordered q democratic primary
strictly, and all candidates un-
derstond they are submitting their
names before democratic primary.
Even II the central committee had
done otherwise Its action would
not have removed a plain law from
the statutes,
