Evans Would Abolish
Pitchers Quick Return

instance had the player been struck,
1t would have probably ruined his
career, as few players are the same
after such accidents.
"The play will perhaps be barred
after a star is seriously injured. It
would be a shame to have a player
become a martyr to such a cause. The
little gained by the quick return does
not make 1t worth while. ?
It is usually star players on whom
pitchers seek to work the quick 70.
turn. Realizing their ability. tho
pitchers seek any chance to mini
mize their strength at bat. Often for
some good reason the player is forced
to do something that gives a pitcher a
chance to work the quick return. From
any angle. It Is a bad feature. So little
can be said in its behalf that It's
abolition would meet with popular ep-

PIONEER PASSES AWAY
Aunt Fannie Mayhan Dies at Ad-
 vanced Age of v Years

The sickle of Death has again been thrust into our community, and a kind and noble-hearted old mother has been taken away. Aunt Fannie Mayhan died at her home, northeast of town, last Fri day, at the ripe old age of v.
 Her familiar voice is forever sileneed-no more will we see her dear old kindly face or hear her friendly greeting.
 She was laid to rest at Mt. Zion cemetery Saturday, the burial being attended by large number of friends and relatives. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. James of Charlotte.
 Uncle Pack has lost true and loving companion who has faith fully stood by him for more than 5 years, helping to fight the bat ties of long and useful life. Aunt Fannie was a kind and affection ate mother, and a good neighbor. She was sister of Uncle Zibe Barber, whose death occurred only a short time ago. She was born in Decatur county, Tennessee, in 1885. The family moved to Ark ansas in 1855 and she was married to P. A. Mayhan October 2, 1859.
 Uncle Pack and Aunt Fannie lived their entire married life on the farm where Uncle Pack was born more than three quarters of a century ago. When she and Uucle Pack were married, B years ago last October, they went to live on the old homestead, and in the same house, where Uncle Pack was born. Through all the inter veining years they never thought of leaving the old place, but were content to stay on the old farm and live the simple life of the plain, honest country folks, whose lives and influences are a benedic- ton upon the neighborhood in which they lived.

Arkansas has made good pro- 'gress in educational matters dur ing the past few years. but there remains much to be accomplished. Statistics show that the average length of school term in Arkansas is only 98 days, or less than five months a year. As there are many towns and cities in the state with eight and nine months school terms, this means that there are many country children getting practically no schooling. The state IS placing its future citizens at a serious disadvantage when 1t fails to provide better means for their education. The improvment of our school system so as to bring more and better educational ad- vantages as nearly as possible right to the door of every youth in the state, is a matter we'll wor- thy of the thoughtful consid- eration of our best citizens, edu- cators and legislators.

It seems that the old poor Stan- dard Oil Company, since being hauled into federal court about a year ago and given such a black eye in that famous dissolution or der, has only been able to pay its stockholders 523 per cent dividend on the past years business.
