COUNTY DIVISION!

County Division
These words meet derision
BY our friends. not far in the west
But they have spurned us and turned us
And never have heard us
No difference what favor we asked
So now for the battle
just let the shot rattle
And cannon may boom over head
But our share of Old Dawson
We cannot be lost OH
For Wibaux's the county ahead.
We may be some previous
But It's quite grievous
The way we are treated of late
They handle our money
And think it quite funny
When we ask little less rate
We helped build their bridges
And helped dig their bitches
When our bridge went under
They said go to thunder
Go home. build it up yourselves
To US it don't matter
How you wade through the water
If we have good bridges and pclf,
We helped build their roadbeds
While we lived on our homesteads
With never highway at all
And when we ask money
They think it so funny
We need any roads here at all
We have helped build their High school
And felt all the more fools
10 think we We not rose in our might
And ended the trouble
And all this hubbubble
BY trying before for our rig hts.
When election times nearing
And they get TO fearing
The votes might not count aa they wish
They hand US lemon
And think it quite common
And laugh in their sleeves at the mess
But when we get busy
1t makes them quite dizzy
70 see the votes rolling up
The lemon intended quite differently enaa.
And sent them peach to his post
Now let us stand ever
Men, shoulder to shoulder
To meet whatever may come
For if the tax levy
Is ever so heavy
At least we'll have money at home.

Hens Advertise
Their Industry

"When duck lays all egg, she
waddles out to pond of water
not appearing to care if the worlc
knows anything about the indus
try in which she is engaged. But
when a hen lays an egg, there is q
tremendous amount of cackling
The men Advertises. Hence the
demand for hens eggs is several
times greater than the demand for
duck eggs
The above clipping should make
every business man who has goods
to sell stop and think. We all
know that duck eggs have no de-
mand whatever, and if it is possible
Tor hen, just by making great
noise, to create demand for her
product, why should not a great
advertising noise about the mer-
chandise merchant carries, ere.
ATE demand far greater than his
highest expectations. Eggs at
certain times Of the year are rare
articles and hard to get at any
price, but the old hen keeps up
her prattle just the same, and
when business is dull, a business
man has all the more cause why
he should make a greater noise
about what he has to sell to the
public. The above clipping is
surely a good motto for all bust
ness men to follow.
You will hear a few merchants
declare that advertising is only a
fashion to keep. the poor printer
from starving 10 death in their
midst, thereby saving them from
donating towards his funeral ex.
penses. but by advertising contin-
"ally and persistently, he is bound
to create demand for mis- wares.
Other people have sold millions of
dollars worth of their wares dur.
ing year just by sending out
high priced catalogs, and using
newspaper space to tell the people
what they have to offer. Adver.
tising makes people think and
when they get to thinking about
an Ad. seen in the local paper.
they will generally think about
the business house nsing that par.
ticular space.
To advertise, only few mont !
a year will not bring the desired
results and then the newspaper is |
to blame for the lack of business.
One must keep at it all the year !

DIOR OLD JONES
 PAYS THE FREIGHT

Little Rock, Feb. 2-This ses- sion of the legislature, remark al one of Little Rocks leading corporation attorneys yesterday, "is paying a great deal of atten- +ion to tle taxation affairs of the corporations, and bills which have been introduced tend to raise their taxes almost double. Tn their anxiety to rap the cor noration. the lawmakers do not stop to think about who pays the freight. They themselves pay a good portion of it and do Il O t know 1t
 "Corporations must make a fair return on their money, and if the taxes are boosted, the pro- fits are reduced, so the price of the commodity handled by the corporation must be advance, so the people pay for the advance in taxation just the same.
 "The last legislature passed an act called a pure feed law which has raised considerable revenue, and which. has not elevated the quality of feed offered for sale in the state. The miller does not pay this tax, for he simply adds it to the price of his article and the consumer pays for the pri- yelege of having a tax on his sack. The law forces the manufacturer to tell what he puts in the sack, but the law does not prohibit the use of any sort of feed in the mixture, and few people take the pains to look and see the ingre- dientS of the feed.
 The laWmaker is wonderfully constructed, and he often gets the revenue, but he might as we'll put the taxation direct on Jones

WANT SENATE TO
 SELECT GOVERNOR

Little Rock, Feb. 3-When it was first indmated there would be no election to fill the office of Governor, when Joe T. Robinson resigns the position to take his place in the United States Sen ate, 1t was expected there would be a great rush of indignation from the people, but in this, the same as in the proposition o f submitting the question of an United States Senator to the peo. pie, they seem to display little interest. Outside of few politi- clans who desire to make the race for governor to fill out the uneXplred term of Gov. Robin son, there has been little com ment on the subject, and the peo- pie who have expressed themsel- yes seem to desire the Senate to elect lieutenant governor and permit him to serve until the Robinson term has expired.
 The two members of the Sen ate who have been mentioned for the position of president pro tenn of the Senate, Harry Harris of Monroe county, and Clyde Going of Poinsett county, are very ca pable and clean men, and either is considered competent to fl l the office with credit. This be- ing the condition the demand for "a primary, which will cost the state at least S40,000, will be only such as those who desire to be- come candidates for the position, can create. Many of the papers of the state are requesting the legislature to make provisions for the election of a lieutenant gover- nor, as is done in other states and put an end to all the political turmoil into which the state has been thrown for the past six years.
 Should a primary be held, an election would have to follow, and that would cost the people an ad- ditional $40,0O0.

NO STATEWIDE PRO.
 HIBITION BILLS YET

Little Rock, Feb. While no bill providing for state wide pro. hibition has been offered in the General Assembly so far, and none is expected, many other measures affecting the liquor ir, tereSts have been introduced, one of such a nature that if pass ed and can be upheld by the courts, will make the state as dry as powder horn. This bill is the one introduced by nineteen members of the Senate, and pro- vides for a petition signed by a majority of the white citizens of the community before the liquor license can be granted. This gi- yes women the right of suffrage on the liquor question. The re- striction of the right to petition to white citizens alone, makes the act unconstitutional, according to several attorneys who have look ed the bills over. All other mea- sures introduced have been in ia vor of the liquor interests, rath. CT than against them.
 ''The bills making the opera tion of blind tigers felony, the making of boot leggers' pay heavy fines and take long jail sen- tences, placing a tax of S25 per day on all people having govern ment liquor license in dry terri tory, and the one prohibiting the shipment of liquor to habitual drunkards, are all in our favor," states one of the leading whole

GOV. ROBINSON PARDONS TWO.

Gov. Robinson Saturday issued two pardons on his first regular pardon day. One of those t o whom clemency was extended was Dave Hoe, a white man. who was origonally sentenced from Greene county to serve ten years for assault with intent to kill. After serving six years, Poe es- capped and had to begin all over again. Governor Robinson eX. pressed the opinion that Poe had already been sufficiently punish ed.
 w. J. Baker of Union county was the other recipitant of par don. He was sent up from Un- ion county on a charge of selling liquor without a label. He had been working on the public roads since September. It was repre- sented to the gol ernor that Ba- ker has a large family dependent upon him and that it's members are in destitute circumstances.

about the tenth century. hut there is
