WILL BE TEN DAYS
BEFORE VOTE is KNOWN

Little Rock, Sept 12.-At the pres
ent rate, it will be another ten days
before the complete vote of the state
is known, on account of the slow and
complicated ticket 1t will be sever
al days yet before the fate of several
of the measures upon which the peo-
pie voted is known definitely.
That the TT. bill is defeated and
that the short session amendment in
itiated by Attorney General Norwood
was adopted is certain, both facts
having an interesting bearing upon
the last Legislature. The TT. bill
was passed at the extraordinary ses-
sion last year, and referred to the
people under the |. & r. amendment.
The legislature was in session 1876
days at a cost of $200000 causing
so much dissatisfaction that the short
session amendment was adopted as a
rebuke
The prospects are very bright for
the bond amendment, which continues
to lead, although the majority is not
large. The recall, text book bill, the
election bill, and the grandfather
clause appear to have been defeated.
1t is the statewide bill that is most
uncertain, as both sides continue to
claim it. Undoubtedly there will be
number of surprises when returns
are all in. The liquor men claim
$4,000 majority, but the prohibition
forces are still confident they will win
by small majority.

HOLT TO APPOINT
ROAD OYERSEERS
JUDGE LEA SAYS SUCCESSOR
WILL BE GIVEN PRIVILEGE
OF APPOINTMENTS.

Judge ]. A. Lea, whose term of
office will expire next October, will
leave the appointment of the road
overseers to his successor, John w.
Holt. Judge-elect Holt has the fol-
lowing statement to make regarding
these appointments:
Conway, Ark, Sept. II, 1912.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat.
As the election has passed and
have been chosen by the people as
their County Judge, | desire to say
for the benefit of those making in
qulry concerning the appointment of
the road overseers for the next two
years, that this duty will fall upon
me as soon as | am sworn in as
Judge. 1t seems to be the impression
with the people that one seeking this
position should present a volluminous
petition to the County Judge; but in
my judgment | think this is a mis-
taken idea, for if the people were GO
ing to elect the overseers by petition
or by ballot it would have been use
less to have changed the law from
electing them by the people to APP
pointing them by the County Judge.
wish to say further that | shall give
all petitions coming before me for the
appointment of overseers due consid-
Grafton; but in no case shall | be
bound by them unless | think it is to
the best interest of the district and
county. When it comes to the time
to appoint the oversers of the differ
ent districts, ! shall appoint, with the
help and advice of the best citizens in
the several districts, one whom |
think is best qualified to discharge
the duties to the best interest of the
county. This, with all other matters
that may come before ME after | have
been sworn in as County Judge, will
receive thoughtful consideration and
| hope that after the appointments
have been made no one will have
cause to be offended and think that I
have acted unjustly, as this is mat
ter that affects the whole county.
Very respectfully,
JOHN HOLT.

Why We Cannot
Charge School
Books.

Publishers give us 20 per cent dis
count from list price we to pay trans
portation and carry stock and run
risk of having dead stock left on our
hands, and some publishers offer in
lieu of the above: Ten per cent dis
count from list price, they to pay
transportation and carry the stock
1t will be seen that they understand
that one means practically the same
as the other to the retailer; this
shows ten per cent profit (2) on
books sold at list price
There is no one that we know of in
Conway who is able to do business on
less than about 20 per cent expense,
which means that it costs the mer-
chants of Conway 20c on each dollars
worth of goods sold to make the scale.
This being true, how much have we
made on a dollars worth of school
books sold at list price?
1t would be ridiculous to ask or ex-
pect any other merchant to sell you
on such profit (?) paying basis, yet
it is all right to expect the book man
to do it, and in many instances to
charge the books.
AS stated at other times, we do not
and cannot sell all books at list price,
but We do sell the big per cent of the
new books at list
This explains, We think, why we
cannot charge books and also why we
are forced to handle some second
books, which We would prefer not to
do, if we could play even handling
new ones.
We have tried for years to save our
customers every cent possible on
books, and we are making this explain
alton because we think many people
do not know the facts about this bus
mess. Approximately.
