AS he (Mr. Mill wee) had assured us in every manner that we would be taken care of, as he used the term. When 1 heard of the existence of Mir.

Brundidge, and further stated that he did not un- dertake to give facts, only his conclu- sions. He also told me he you'd send me a copy of the letter, though have

MR. WILLIAMS AND THE LEVEE
 BOARD.

In reply to Mr. Milwee, Eugene Williams declares that he is not seek ing any office at the hands of the gov ernor. This is doubtless absolutely true. Mir. Williams, on the other hand, is seeking to turn loose an office, which he has already received at the hands of the governor.
 MT. Williams has been member of the St. Francis Levee Board, an or ganization which enters largely into Eastern Arkansas politics. Vast sums of money are collected annually for levee purposes and MT. Williams desir- to be treasurer of the board. But
 ie legislature of 1913 passed an act taking it impossible for member of ,e board to serve as treasurer. There ore, on the eve of an election of a reasurer by the board, MT. Williams resigned as member and the board elected him treasurer. Governor Flu trell, however, declined to accept the resignation, and the matter is still undecided as to whether MT. Williams can continue to serve as treasurer.
 MT. Williams neglects to give these facts in connection with his statement that he wants no office from the gover- nor.

We will soon know who is to be the next governor of Arkansas to succeed Mr. Futrell He has made a most ex- cellent executive and many times we have heard it commented by voters that they had much rather see him stay in the governors chair than to have either of the other aspirants seated therein. And this is not cast ing reflection upon the ability of eith- CT MT. Brundidge or MT. Hays, for Governor Futrell has made good. He has not been a spectacular governor, but has simply done his duty as he saw, going quietly along and saying little. It is not often that we find an executive that is conscientious, careful and modest. Morrilton Headlight.
