SEEKS JUDGMENT
ON BURNED NOTES

In the Faulkner chancery court to
day Mrs. Annie Keathley filed suit
against C. c. Keathley, alleging an
unpaid indebtedness of $93625 prinei-
pal and 1920 interest as part Of the
purchase price of the northeast quar-
ter of section 2, township 7, range H..
The plaintiff alleges the land was sold
to the defendant in February, 1908,
for $1,000, the defendant executing
five notes of $500 each. The notes,
the plaintiff states, were burned on
February IA, 1910, and the defendant,
it is alleged, had never paid but
$63.75 on the purchase of the prop
erty.

recent reversal of the Arkansas SUI

the United States.
The Arkansas legislature passed an
act prohibiting the peddling of light

vehicles, which was fought out by the
Spaulding Buggy Company and

the merchandise, which is shipped in

attempted to tax them 5000 per coun-

constraint of commerce and that ends
it.

sympathy, interest, enthusiasm and
aptitude for vicariousness, then Fred
erick Douglass was In every way an
educator.
He believed in the potentially Of
every child born into the world, wheth-
er white or black. He believed that
God had not bestowed his best endow-
ments upon any single race or nation,
and so he wrought for himself and his
race to make actual what was poten-
tial. Mr.. Douglass, like true educa-
tor, was a man of large vision. Where
there is no vision the people perish.
Brutalized himself by American slav-
cry. he sought to aid in the overthrow
Of the Ubiquitous system.
When, therefore, the opportunity pre-
scented itself he threw himself with en-
thusiasm into the anti-slavery struggle
and lost no opportunity to teach men
its horrors and to rouse them to its
hatred by his burning words. In Eng
land and America he pleaded his own
and the cause Of his people with weep
ing words and eloquent tears and be-
came perhaps the mightiest single
force in teaching the iniquities Of slav.

Douglass believed In his selfhood and
In his own possibilities, and out Of the
horrors Of slavery he tried to rehabili-
tate the divine image stamped upon
him. He made his good instincts self
conscious. He taught lofty notions Of
personal, social and political life. He
was disconnected with whatever was
on low plane. He reached the noun
tain heights because he scared like an
eagle that battles its wings in the noon.
day sun. No one could see Frederick
Douglass, with his head rising like q
snow capped peak" above those about
him, without feeling the influence Of
his presence.
Frederick Douglass was never asham'
ed Of his color. He believed in his
black mother, his dark hued wife and
attributed much Of his success to his
contact with them. He believed that
he was part Of great race whose de.
velopment had been retarded by I'm.
toward conditions, but who when their
chains were once broken and their
complete emancipation insured would
rise up and demonstrate the divinity
with which they were clothed. Doug
lass, like every true educator, was an
honest patriot. He loved his country.
When the civil war broke out he Of.
fered his two sons to his country's
cause, while he himself served 1t with
his eloquence.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB
scRIBER7

scRIsER7
A court decision has lately been
rendered in Massachusetts, on what
constitutes a subscriber.
The Judge firmly believed that q
man who received the paper, although
he never subscribed for 1t, Is entitled
to pay. James Thompson moved,
and William Robinson took imme-
date possession, and received and &C.
cepted a weekly newspaper that was
delivered to him through the mails
every week. The goodnatured editor
sent accounts frequently. but no at
tention was paid to them by Mr. Rob-
inson. Finally there was day Of
reckoning. Robinson had received
the paper for some time, he informed
the collector. but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to pay
for 1t. The Judge personally Ques-
toned the defendant, who said that
he read and made use of It and was
receiving the accounts, which were
frequently enclosed in the paper.
Judgment was rendered In favor Of
the newspaper.
The Judge was severe in his criti-
cism Of people who are receiving pa
pers and do not think 1t worth while
to pay for what they receive and
make use Of 1t as an act of dishon-
esty, he said one should acquaint the
publisher and pay for what numbers
he receives.-X.

State Legislatures In 1918 Made Gem
erous Appropriations to Check the

Out of Al state legislatures In ses-
sion during the season Of 1913, laws
dealing with tuberculosis were enact
ed in 30 states, while In "a states con-
sideration was given to. bills dealing
with the prevention d this disease.
This is a summary Of the legislative

over $5,000,0 900 have been set aside
for the treatment and prevention or

ing more than n sanatorium. Della

Consul Daniels announced that he would

the habeas corpus proceedings to be

be postponed. This will give District
Attorney Conger an opportunity to APP

Tired and sleepy, but apparently un
worried by his capture, Harry X. Thaw
arrived here from Coaticook, in the Gus
tody of two officers of the judicial dis
trict of st. Francis.
Previous to his departure from Coat.
cook he had been arraigned before the
local magistrate as an insane person and
remanded to Jail at Sherbrooke, which Is
the headquarters of the district.
The proceedings by which Thaw was
remanded were brief. He was represent
ed by his attorney and the dominion by
Hector Vearrette, X. c. On the state
ment Of the case by Counsel Vearrette
Justice of the Peace Dupey ordered the
prisoner taken to Sherbrooke.
As soon as Thaw had been ordered
held he wired to New York for a large
sum Of money. The prisoner refused
to make any statement to newspaper
ren who came here on the train with
him. He had been instructed by his at
tcrney to say nothing.
Chief of Police Bodeau of CoaticooN
was one of the officers that guarded the
prisner on the train journey.
"Our prisoner has admitted 30 me thai

OPPOSE PLANS OF WILSON
Original Trainers of Bill Oppose Plan for
Regional Banks.

Washington. - Unexpected develop
ments in regard to currency reform leg
islation in the senate promised serious
complications for President Wilson's
plans for the passage of a currency bill
at this session of congress. At a con-
ference of Democratic members of the
senate currency committee, Chairman
Owen, who has been considered one of
the original trainers of the bill now be-
fore the Democrats of the house, made
it clear to his associates that he was
opposed to several features of the bill,
including the plan for IL revisional re
serve banks, and that he would recon-
mend important changes in the measure
The results of the senate conference
have been to leave the currency situs,
ton entirely open, so far as the senate's
probable action is concerned.
