CARPET-BAG BONDS
ARE nice SOUVENIRS

Little Rock, Nov. 2.-Secretary. of
State Earle w. Hodges yesterday re-
ceived letter from Harrison Os-
borne of New York. who stated that
client of his has ''levee bond" of the
vintage of 1871, and desires to know
what disposition may be made of it.
In his reply, Mr.. Hodges stated that
the bonds are only good to retain as
souvenirs of the days when carpet
bag Republicans had the people of
the state of Arkansas by the throat
and made good use of the opportun-
ity. The bonds We're issued during
the Republican regime, but repudiat-
ed as soon as the Democrats came in
to power. They are of no value now.
The Democrats contended the money
was never used for the purpose for
which the bonds were issued.
