We have studied this drinking
business until we have, come to
the conclusion that he who makes
a drunkard should take care of
HIM after he is made and be re-
spousible for all of his acts and
deeds, and he who opposes the
making of drunkards should be
renumerated for all losses incur,

One reason for so many csndi-
dates for jailer in many counties
may be accounted for from the
fact that beginning January 1st,
1914, the board fee for prisoners
will be increased from fifty cents
per day to seventy.fve cents per
day. This law was passed by the
Legislature last winter, but could
not become effective until after
the present term of Office of the
jailors expired. The increased
cost of food products and the
poor business of the jailers in 10.
cal option counties is the cause
for the new law being enacted.

The Ladies of the Christian
Church gave a supper TO the men
folks of the church. There were
forty.seven men present and a
very enjoyable evening was
spent. Several from the other
church in Stanton were invited
which shows the fraternal spirit
that exists between the two
churches. 1t is the desire of both
churches that every body in Stan

attend church services. After the
supper numerous toasts were Civ
Ell and the evening passed all too
soon. The men voted that they
would return the supper to the
ladies, and the women say that
they (the men) must do all the
cooking and serving. ~
A Club Room has been opened
up in the basement room of the

LITTLE WORK IN
. SENATE YESTERDAY
PASS BULK SALES" BILL
MANY HOUSE BILLS READ AND
MADE SPECIAL ORDER FOR
PASSAGE LATER.

Little Rock, Feb. 15.-Although
there was session of the senate Fri
day afternoon, little more than the
advancing of bills was done. except
the passage of the "bulk sales" bill.
This measure was called up just be-
fore the noon hour, and in the after
noon Senator CarlLee vigorously at
tackled it, contending that under it a
merchant could not even ship in a
carload of -four and sell half of it.
Senators Going, Miles and several 9TH
ers supported the measure, which had
already passed the house. The bill
prevents merchants selling their stock
as whole, without first notifying the
creditors. 1t is intended to prevent
the defrauding of creditors, and had
the Endorsement of the business or
CARNATIONS of the state.
Only once after this was there any
interest displayed in the afternoon
proceedings. The house bill by JOS
eph, making the operation of a "blind
tiger" felony, was called up and
Senator Covington offered an amend
ment changing the section devoted to
the "bootlegger" or the man who ped
dies the contraband article in small
quantities, so that it would be a fell
ony for him to operate instead of
misdemeanor. He stated that the bill
increased the punishment for repeat
ed offenses, and finally made it the
same as a felony, on account of the
Jail sentence imposed, and if it was
a felony to sell the third or fourth
bottle, it should be to sell the first one.
This amendment was opposed by
Senators CarlLee, Rodgers of Benton
and others, on the ground it would
kill the effect of the bill. Senator
Covington replied it was only an add
ed strength to the bill, and would alb
solutely stop the sale of whiskey or
other beverages which intoxicate, in
dry communities. He said he wanted
the sale of liquor stopped, always vot-
ed against it, and offered the amend
ment in good faith. The bill was
finally sent to the judiciary commit
tee
Quite a few house bills were read
and made special order for passage on
other days, but nothing was perma-
nently disposed of, among the local
bills except the Keck bill, placing off
GERS of Madison county on salary,
which was tabled.

VALENTINE PARTY.

Madams J. J. Livingston and J. G.

reception to a large number of their
friends yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Livingston on Scott
street. For the occasion the interior
of the cosy home was deliberately and
artistically decorated with festoons
of pink and white hearts and punches

lively placed. A dado of hearts in
graceful garlands separated the par
lor and dining room. Mrs. ]. F.
Jones and Miss Lucy Livingston serv-
ed punch from a table in the hall,
which was appropriately done in the

ed with pink tapers.

ston and Cubage were assisted in re-
ceiving and caring for their guests
by Madams c. H. Newbern, j. Frank
Jones and Miss Lucy Livingston.
About 40 guests were present. The
scene was a beautiful one with the
fairylike decorations, soft light, sweet
music and elegantly costumed ladies
giving an effective setting to the love-
ly picture, and one long to be remem-
bered by those present. The out-of-
town guests were: Madams George
