Brinkley's New Hotel.

A notice appearing in a recent issue of the Little Rock Gazette mentioned the fact that plans were being prepared for the Ozark Hotel Co.,, ot a S4O.0OO hotel which was soon to De erected at Ozark. A few days later a correction appeared Tn which it was stated that the ho- tel was to be built at Brinkley instead of at Ozark.
 Just who the Ozark Hotel Co. is, can't be figured out by the ARGUS man.
 That Brinkley has been promised fine, new, modern hotel, is of course we'll known to the friends of Gus Roescher, the Arlington Hotel man, who has been planning such a structure ever since he bought the old Brinkley House.

The Liquor Bill Petition
 Starts Lively Gossip

What Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges will do with the peti- tion asking for the reference to the people of the Statewide liquor bill, No. l18, is a topic which has many people wonder ing. He states he will put the question to Attorney General w. L. Moose when the petition is filed, and act in accordance with his opinion.
 About two years ago Attorney General Norwood passed upon a question much similar. There was a stock law passed by the legislature, which people of Southwest Arkansas desired sub- mitted to a vote of the people. The bill contained a specific date when it was to become effective.
 Attorney General Norwood held that the specific date acted the same as an emergency clause and the matter could not be re- ferred. The liquor bill not only has an emergency clause, but has a specific date to become effective. Little Rock Demo- crate.

CHINA ASTONISHES THE WORLD
The New Government of China Makes Alp peal for Prayers of Christians for Wise Solu- tion of Critical National Problems


The following cablegram ap- bearing in the New York Daily Mail and Express of April 17th is possibly the most remarkable item of National news that has appeared in the press this year. It is as follows;
 ''Pekin, April IT. An appeal made today by the Government to all Christian Churches in China to set aside April 27th as day for prayer that China may be guided to a wise solution of her critical problems is regarded as striking evidence of extraordin- ary changes in the nation since the Revolution.
 This appeal was distributed broadcast by telegraph to-day to all governors and high officials within whose jurisdiction Christ ians communities are to be found. It was also sent to mission lead CTS.
 Prayer was requested for the national assembly, new govern ment, President of the Republic yet to be elected, for the consti-

tuition, for recognition of the Re- public by the powers, for main- tenance of peace and for the election of strong and virtuous men to office.
 Representatives of provincial authorities are instructed to at- tend the services.
 The appeal has given extra ordinary satisfaction in missions circles. where it is pointed out that this is the first time in the worlds history that such a re- quest has come from non-Christ- ian nation"
 It is known and acknowledged that no nation in all the world, the U. s. included, has made such unprecedented progress and advancement in every way during the past six years as has China.

 aeer for Brundidee

The campaign for the Demo- cratic nomination for governor has opened and one of the two candidates, MT. Brundidge will have Judge R. F. Milwee. of Clarendon, as his campaign manager.
 Judge Milwee was manager of Gov. Donaghey's campaign when the Governor won and was accredited with being one ot the best posted politicians in the state at that time.
 The Judge was elected Speak CT of the House two years ago and up until his defeat for the Senate at the primary last year had never tasted defeat. It re- mains to be seen as to what sue cess Mr.. Milwee will have with the management of another Cnbernatorial campaign. The successor failure of MT. Mil wee will mean much to both him and Brundidge. A failure te win this time will probably mean the farewell of both MT. Brnn- didge and MT. Milwee in politics. Therefore the race may well pc counted on as being one of the hottest and most aggressive thai has evef o9en made in the state

londs Sold. Money Ready and Bids will be Adver. tised for and Actual Work to Begin in
 Few Weeks.
Two Bonds to be Paid
 Off this Year.

After prolonged delay Brink ley is just about to get a sewer age system.
 The Commission, which is composed of Messrs. Benj. En- mons, Elmo Chaney, and Jas. l.. Woodfn, have had a hard time of meeting the many difficult ties and technical hinderances that have delayed the work, but they have at last overcome all of these and the plans and specifi- cations are expected now any day when the contract will be let and work will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
 The total assessed property valuation of the district for 1909, the year for which the district based its levy, was $40, 900 less than in 1911, and thus it will be seen that the amount was a very fair one.
 It is necessary for the com mission to raise about $40O0 a year in order to retire the bonds and meet the interest charges. In 1913. 1914, 1915, two bonds $500 each are to be retired. In 1916, 1917, 1918, three bonds each of $500 are to be retired. 1919, 1920, 1921. four bonds Of $500 each. In 1922-23-24. 5 bonds of $500 each. In 1925-26- a-8, 6 bonds of $500 each, and on Nov. 1st. 1929, the last four bonds of $500 each are to be re- tired, making a total of $35, OO0 in bonds.
 The interest at six per cent VIII bring the total amount of Rx necessary to take care of ponds and interest up to between 6,OOO and $60, 0OO, and as the ume increases it is claimed that the taxes will decrease.
 As the property valuations in- 'rease, new buildings are erected hthln the limits of the district, sR., this will make the burden hshter for all.
 The betterments total of all Within the district according to Me l9O9 taxes amounted to oout S75, 900. The tax last year ~o per cent of the betterments aa not bring the necessary aount, hence the increase this @s year to 5's.
