newspaper of that city paid him the
following compliment:
q. A. French, cashier of the
Exchange State bank, has resign.
ed to accept position as assist
ant cashier In the Black aawk Ma
tional bank of Waterloo. The
Black Hawk National is one of the
pig banks Of that enterprising
and fast growing city and we
congratulate 1t on securing the
services of Mr.. French, who is
thoroughly qualified for the posi-
ton. The many friends in Col
Inns of Mr.. and Mrs. French are
sorry to lose them from this com
munity, but wish for them and
their children prosperity and hap
piness in their now location.
The Waterloo Courier Of Wednes
day, June Z, 1911, also took notice Of
MT. FTench's banking operations wher
deal was put through largely
through Mr.. French's efforts which
consisted of F. F.. McElhinney selling
all his interest in the Waterloo Loan &
trust Co. to President w. r.. Jameson
and at the same time purchasing all
OF Mr.. Jameson's stock in the Citizens
Savings bank. Speaking of this deai
and Mr.. French's part in the transac
ton the Courier says:
New life and initiative will be
injected into the bank officiary by
the entrance Of Mr.. e. A. French
as member Of the board of direc-
tors, he having acquired a block
OF stock in the bank by the pur-
Chase. Mr.. French becomes the
active vice president of the bank,
and together with Mr.. Illingworth,
VIII have the active management
OF the institution. Mr.. French
needs no introduction to Waterloo
people, as since coming to Water
loo as assistant cashier of the
Black Hawk National bank he has
made host of friends and he
has not only inspired confidence
in them, but also in the commerce
ial interests Of the city generally.
Mr.. French comes ripe in expert
ence in both country and city
banking and in the full strength
of his manhood.
The Waterloo Reporter of Septem
Der Is, 1911 also had something tc
say of Mr.. French when the Security
Savings bank and the Citizens Saw
ings bank were brought under one
Mr.. French's part in
that deal was stated in the Reporter
as follows:
q. A. French, vice president
of the Citizens Savings bank, and
G. W. Illingworth, cashier, con-
ceiyed the idea of a merger and
carried out the plan successfully
and to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned. A large holding of the
stock of the Security Savings
was secured by the interests
represented by the above two
men and the merger made pos
sible.
From the above accounts from pa.
pers in the cities and towns where
Mr.. French has been employed it ap.
pears that he has not been inactive
since leaving Keokuk and also indi-
Gates that he has been very successful

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. TO-
While incomplete returns today made
|it certain statewide prohibition was
defeated and the vets" made big
gains in yesterdays election, the fate
of the recall amendments was still in
doubt. The democratic state ticket
was elected but whether the final re-
suit would show gain or loss from
the normal democratic majority could
not be forecasted accurately. The
grandfather clause" amendment, de-
signed to disqualify rs per cent of
the negro vote was beaten.
The democratic state central COM
mittee claimed the election of the en-
tire state ticket by 10000 majority
1t was conceded that prohibition lost
by $4,000. The long ballot made re
turns slow and it probably will be late
today before the results can be more
definitely known.

Recall Defeated.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. To-
The recall of officials amendment
was defeated in yesterdays state and
special election, according to fuller re-
turns today but still far from COM
plete. The democratic state ticket
was elected by three to one major
ley over the republicans. This show
ing can be explained only by the sup
position that many negro votes were
cast for the democratic ticket, de-
spite the fact that the democratic
gubernatorial candidate favored the
grandfather clause" amendment
which would have disfranchised seven
ty-five percent of the negro vote. The
latter proposition was beaten.
State wide prohibition was defeated,
according to the latest returns, but
by smaller majority than early re.
turns indicated.

High School Eleven Expects Year
10 be Besf---BY L. M. Wickersham

With the preliminary games on the
schedule of the Wilmington High
School over. the gridiron supporters
are now preparing for the games with
their old rivals and throughout Old
Home Week the team. will drill its
old formations along with several
new ones on the Front and Union
streets field. DR.. Spear has selected
his first and second squads and the
boys get down to good stid scrim-
mage daily.
During last week several Of the de-
fects shown In the Central High
School game were patched up, back
field men shifted to the line, and line
men shifted into the backheld, max
ing a much stronger offensive as we'll
as defensive team.
The victory of the High School team
over Vineland on Friday was almost
a farce. The visitors, with two excep-
tions, had no knowledge Of football
and could not afford the local boys
fair practice Despite the fact that
Coach Speer sent in several second
string men a AZ to 6 victory was reg
istered. Every formation and trick
play went for large gains and the stu
dent body expressed satisfaction with
it's representatives.
On Saturday afternoon OF this
week the cherry and white team will
go to West Chester and meet the gar
net and white eleven of that place.
The local team will be accompanied
by faithful Band of rooters and ex-
poets to spring few surprises on the
Chester county team.
} From West Chester reports ii
seems that the team of the place is
primed for the fray. The eleven is
far from green and has the ambition
firmly imbedded of at least holding
the Wilmington boys to a tie score
or possibly running UP a few points
In their own favor.
Coach Speer in speaking of the
High School team said: my team is
strong and fast when working right
and should clean up everything in
sight throughout the balance of the
season.
In Mike" Fidance at left halfback
who is a veteran from last years
team, Speer has a star. Fidance play
/ ed a rafting good game last season
and at present he is surprising his
former performances in every way
He keeps his opponents going at al
times and can be counted upon tC
J carry the ball for a gain at any time
| Captain Mason, at left halfback, il
speedy on his feet and veteran from
last season. It was his work tha
helped the team to let the heavy Cen
trail High School boys down to the q
to 0 score. This boy will bear watch
ing in all of the games, and barring
accidents, will prove his worth in thu
games to come.
Backfield Stars.
Mid Graves, at quarterback, is ;
good man for running the team He
handicapped somewhat in size bu
gets his plays off in good, quick fash
ion, and on the defense is gam
tackler.
Polly Matthews came into tn
limelight in Fridays game from tn
fullback position. His line plungin
was wonderful and was one OF tn
