Waited too Long

There is a citizen of Brlnkley. who for four long days endured the rain without an umbrella hoping that it would cease and save the expense of buying a rain canopy. and the trouble of carrying it. However, when hls patience and hopes were both shattered at the persistence of Jupiter Pluvius. he bought an umbrella. when To and behold, old "sop' showed his face with something akin to derission on his features. Now this aforemen- toned citizen is secretly hoping that we will have repetition ot the time when Noah earned the title of being the first pilot of a vessel. just to get full value and use of his belated purchase.
 However, tis possible he might sell this rain protector. For par ticulars see Col. Bacharach.

Hydra-Headed Politics

Hydra headed politics the monster that clutches at almost every public board is again gnawing at the vitals of the St. Francis Levee District.
 Governor George w. Hays has called a mass meeting of taxpay- CTS interested in the affairs of this district for Sept. 30 at Ma rion.
 It is unfortunate that politi- clans should dominate the man. agement of this board.
 They have managed it for many years. It is time to take the board out of politics, make it a thorough-going business body i, and if Governor Hays can elimi- nate this board from the political life of the State he will be doing something that will entitle him to a monument in front of the new capitol. --Arkansas-Demo- crat.

Back to Studies

These are great days in the schools and colleges of America.
 Millions of students have re- sumed their work in the school and college rooms.
 They are joyous days for boys and girls who are back in col leges. No associations in life are more pleasing than those of the congenial students away from home. These students are large ly thrown on their own resources. They are away from parental roofs away from fond mothers. Home influences have been left behind for those of the colleges.
 Did you ever, years after leav- ing college. go back to the scene of your struggles with books and professors?
 If you did, your visit brought back many fond memories memories of ups and downs, and, maybe youthful sweethearts, for boys and girls at college can see one another in their true colors.
 Many a man has fallen in love while at college. His college sweetheart afterwafd became his life mate his wife.
 College chums of both sexes are generally real chums, and their chum life lasts longer than college days.
 College and university associa- tions make widespread friends for a boy or girl in after days. When these boys and girls who are fortunate enough to attend biz educational institutions go out into the world, they scatter to the four winds, as it were.
 It is very cheering in after life to run across an old college mate. You may have not seen h;,, for a fIllarter of a century, but if you and he were chummy in college, you are almost '"brothers' when you do meet in the long after years. Arkansas Democrat.

Drag the Road

Summer has gone and with the autumn season comes the fall rains followed by those of win ter. At this season of the year, the dirt roads are given their hardest usage. Summer crops are being gathered and must be gotten to market. Cotton must be picked and gotten to the gin and to the railroad track. It has been hot and dry during the latter part of the summer. The weather man at Little Rock, says that August, this year, has been one of the dryest August in many, many years. The roads, in consequence, have become dusty and full of chuck holes. With the soaking rains preva- lent over the entire state during the past few days and the traffic required to be carried by these wet roads the farmers are going to- lose thousands of dollars with in the next few months, unless immediate action is taken by all road overseers.
 Right now is the time to begin dragging your roads. Follow ev- cry good rain with your drag un- til you have your road in condi- tion to shed water and keep it's surface intact. Do not wait until tomorrow or next week. Com- mence your dragging right now and continue it after each rain until you accomplish what you want.
 Your people desire it. Every farmer needs it. It means thous- ands of dollars saved to your community what will otherwise go for repairs to broken wagons. horses, double teams where one should suffice. and produce is wasted because of in- ability to get to market.

Wind Storm at Moro

The little town of Moro was visited by a disastrous wind storm last Sunday morning about 1O:45. The storm was of very short duration, but considerable dam age was done, the worst suffer CTS being the Jonas Miller store and the Baptist church. Mr.. Millers store was damaged to the extent of $2OOO, and the Baptist church was lifted off its founda- ton and moved about six feet. The damage is estimated at $500. A small house occupied by negroes was wrecked but no one was injured. A peculiar feature of the storm was that it formed right at the town and split just after doing the damage:

Monroe County Sued

Helena, Ark, Sept. 10. Suit
 has been filed in this district of
 United States court by G. F..
 Youman, A. B. Shafer ct al, at-
 torneys, on behalf of the Falls
 City Construction Company of
 Louisville, Ky, against t h e
 County of Monroe for $106, 020 in warrents of the defendant, which the former allege to be
 due them, in accordance with
 the existing contract for Monroe
 county's new court house at
 Clarendon. The plaintiffs in their
 bill of action allege that t h e
 work of construction has been
 duly executed by them, complet- ed and the building turned over to the county. all in due accord ance with the provisions of the contract, one clause of which
 stipulates that If at any one time so much as $1,000 of the county's warrants, issued to the plaintiff in payment of the new building, remains unpaid and un- redeemed at maturity of same, then the entire residue of war; rants unredeemed shall become due and payable at the option of the holder of same. ]"
 The bill luther states that the contract price of the new edfice was SIS, GOO, and that warrants in various amounts were issued by the county, maturing July 15 of the each year, in payment of the entire obligation.
 The plaintiffs in their action luther allege that they are now in possession of certain county warrants, the aggregate of which will exceed $1, 900 and that in vi- plating the above named provis- ions the total remainder of $106,- 020 of county warrants are now due and payable.
 Action was entered by the plaintiff against the defendant in this court during the preced- ing session, at which time, the complainant alleges, judgment was received for the sum of $3, 92O, and that said judgment at this time remains wholly unsat- isfied.
 The building was erected during the year 1911, the contract, so it is alleged, being awarded to the plaintiff from a number of other firms interested in the proposal.
 In the opening clause of the allegation filed in the above ac- tion it is alleged that the pro- ceedings were duly approved by the county court. county attor- ney and quorum court of Monroe county.
 The case will be heard at the October term of the United States District Court, which con- venes in this city on the fore noon of Tuesday, the 7th instant and will take rank as one of the largest civil proceedings upon the local docket.

Hotel Men Ordered Away

Wynne, Ark, Sept. 16. The

 ators of the only first-class hotel
 in this town, tonight fed 1000
 negroes in the hotel dining room
 and as a result the managers
 have just been told to leave ] town The request came at 1 mass meeting held to protest against the men forcing the white girls to serve the negroes. The managers C. H. Dickey and J. F. Quick have been or dered to leave on a 2:O5 Wednes- day morning train and unless they are away from here tomor- row serious trouble may be pecipitated. The citizens are aroused thoroughly and tonight it is almost impossible to prevent some of the younger men from coating the men with tar and feathers.
 The trouble began shortly after dark tonight when a dele gation of 1000 from all parts of Arkansas arrived here en route to a negro Baptist convention at Nashville. They applied to the hotel people for meals and Jthe managers immediately order Jed that they be accommodated. White waitresses are employed m the hotel.
 Shortly after the serving be- gan citizens of the town were complained to by some of the g s and the general protest began. Several of the negroes were interrupted in their meals. The mass meeting. attended by 200 persons, followed and at it the order for the men to leave town.
 The Interstae News Company sent Dickey here sometime ago and until tonight he was accept able. Several improvements of the hotel properties have been made during his stay. Recently, however, talk of another hotel has been persistent and tonight's event will assure the new hostel ry.
 Several of the most prominent citizens of the town have declar- cd their intention of taking stock In a new company and heading a campaign to ruu the Interstate Company from this place.
