Just now the people of Pocahon-
tas are interested in knowing Just
what the Pocahontas Ice IL Power
Company is going to do in the mat
ter of furnishing lights for the bus,
mess houses and homes of the
people. The plant has been shut
down for more than two weeks now
and nothing can be learned as to
what the company intends to do.
The foreman says he is ready to turn
on the lights whenever the company
will furnish him with fuel. The
company, however, seems to be an
uniDterested party in the matter and
is making no move to better condi-
tions. Parties who are IN a posi-
tion to know say that the plant has
been a financial failure has been
losing money for the last year or
more and that the owners have de-
clared that they do not care to ad-
vance any more money in order to
keep the institution going. We do
not wish to appear as a "kuocker'

months has been anything but salts

Edward Hicks, one of our most
studious seniors, brought to class
last week the solution of an algebra
problem upon which the class has
been stalled for some time. This
is an example Of the "bull dog

successful career.
Two very interesting and profit
able experiments in physics have
been performed on the last two ex'

Golden Neely, two of our prominent
young seniors.
Last week in the trial of The

Editor Star Herald:
II you will allow me space I will
write a few lines to the citizens and
voters OF Randolph county. After
being solicited to get into the race
for Representative, decided last
week, after it was too late to get my
announcement in the paper. that
would be a candidate, and so |,
with my three opponents, am seek.
ing the nomination.
Three years ago, when | was in
the legislature, l was always found
at my post of duty, and have the
honor of having been on the right
side OF everything which l thought
was for the best interests of the
people, and if The voters of this
county send me back again l will
do my best to represent the whole
people again and will not allow
violence done to any profession or
class, if it Is within my power to
prevent it.
One reason why | have been so
slow in making my announcement
was on account of my wife's bad
health. Another is my financial
condition. 1t is a hard time for me
to make the race. These things
will make it impossible for me to
see every voter, but | hope my
friends will look after my interests
In different parts of the county,
and will show my appreciation by
my vigilance to the duties of the
office which you entrust inc with.
If | fail to get into your part of
the county, please come out to the
speaking aud hear what each of us
has to say, then you will be better
prepared to vote.
l will close hoping TO be your
humble servant after the second
Monday IN September, 1912.

The grand jury of the present
term of circuit court has been the
object of much criticism here this
week on account of its action regard
ing the Brooks and Coy cases. AS
to the reasonable grounds for this
criticism we are unadvlsed; Mem
bers of the grand jury have inform
ed us that each case was enqulred
into closely and that all the testl-
mony of the witnesses furnished by
the State was taken and considered
carefully and the findings rendered
according thereto. 1t was reported
that certain persons "were supposed
to know all about each case" and
they were accordingly subpoenaed to
appear before the body, but it was
found that those who "knew so
much" did not know anything.
Violators of the law should be
made to pay the penalty for their
crimes, but it takes evidence to con
vict, and If this evidence cannot be
obtained it is better for the taxpay-
ers of the county that the cases be
dismissed by the grand jury, than
that they be permitted to go through
two or three terms Of court, cost
the county and the defendants large
sums of money, and finally be dis
missed for lack of sufficient testimo-
ny to convict. This is the result of
more than one. half of the cases that
have been coming mp IN our circuit
courts and the sooner these long
drawn-out case are disposed Of the
better it is forthe county. 1T the
testimony necessary to SECURE con,
viction can be obtained let them
come to trial, if not let the case be
dropped. r

OFFICE PHONE NO 30.

Two years ago the editor of this
paper supported Governor Dona-
ghey against G. G. Kavanaugh for
Governor, because we thought at
that time that he was the best man
for the place. We still think so
and would vote for Mr.. Donaghey
again under the same circumstances.
In the present camgaign, however,
we think a better man than either
is before us, in the person of Hon.
Joe Il. Robinson. We have made
this decision after due deiberation
and a careful investigation of the
past official record of Mr.. Robinson.
No charges have been brought
against Mr.. Robinson's record,
either in public or in private life,
and the master mind Of the man in
question and his knowledge of the
affairs of the state of ARKANSAS to-
gether with his past experience IN
dealing with the great questions
concerning public affairs renders
him a suitable person in which to
entrust the business of the state for
a time He is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the conditions that exist in
the state today and in his public
speeches is advocating policies that
will surely bring about the condi
tions that should exist. Mr.. Rob
inson has ever been known to be
sincere and honest and has never
betrayed a single trust reposed in
him by the people. Therefore it is
a safe proposition to believe that
much of the disordered conditions
that now exist in the different de-
partments of the state government
would he relieved under his man
agement of state a6airs,--HN,S1- one.
- - :. a.cs-a'li lsulS-aSs-.--s
will deny the fact that a change for
the better is badly needed. The
affairs of the state have been in bad
condition for the last several years
and while IN some respects we think
Mr.. Donaghey has done as well as
anyone else could have done under
the circumstances, we believe his
days for useful service have ended.
1t would be impossible tor the
people to elect a Legislature that
would be in accord with the Gov
ernor's views, and in many respects
it is well that they should not, and
in this event conditions would be
no better at the end of Mr.. Don
aghey's third term than they are
today. Mr.. Robinson claims TO
have a remedy for each political ill,
as it now exists, and we are heartily
in favor of changing doctors and
giving Mr.. Robinson a trial.

MARTIAL LAW HAS
A SALUTARY EFFECT
Rv Associated Press

Beirut, Syria, March 1.-Martial
law, which was put into force imlne-
Qiately after the recent bombardment
of this city by Italian warships, has
had q salutary effect. The city is now
quiet, although considerable appre-
hension is felt in regard to the pent-
up, bitter feeling Of the Moslems
against the Christians.
Conditions in the country, especially
in the vicinity of this city, are very
unsettled. 1t is questionable whether
the Turkish government can continue
to hold in check the unruly element
among the Moslems, the majority Of
whom are armed.
The bombardment by the Italians
caused considerable damage to prt-
vate property. many residences suffer
ing besides business houses like the
Ottoman, German and Saloniki banks
and the custom houses.
