MISTAKES IN CONTRACTS.

The mistakes in contracts that have taken place in connection with public school buildings in Hot Springs may be taken as somewhat of criticism of builders, but it is all to the glory of the Hot Springs school board which seems pretty well qualified in the matter of secur- ing good contracts for little pay.
 The high school building contract which has just been bid for, and went to St Louis firm, was for some thing like $12,000 less than general bids. The board accepted There IS no doubt but that the board, indi- vidually, wanted to favor home con tractors. But the St. Louis bid was so low as to be acceptable, and was accepted.
 The same seems to have been the situation in the Jones school build ing The contractors for that work wer e"outside" builders. and they lost a lot of money on the job. The bonding company made good t5e work, The Hot Springs school dis, trict won. even if local builders did not get the work
 The situation seems to prove that if the outside builders make reason. able estimates, the Hot Springs builders have an even, if not better chance, of getSng the work. We have good builders, who know tho local field well, who know just about what it requires to build here, and whose bids as against outside req sonable bids, would get the work,
 But when some outsider offers to build for a very reduced price the situation changes, and some outsider gets contract that is worth nothing to him, but makes a large saving for the school district.
 It is but natural that we should all want the home builders to have the preference in all work, and partiou- larly in the public buildings And under reasonable conditions the home builder will have the prefer ence. After awhile the outside builder will be convinced that he is meeting clean, close opposition in bidding here, and that if he estimates for a profit for himself he will have close competition-an if he does not estimate for a profit for himself, he will dump off lot of money which he will find is acceptable

4 Bonifay, Jan. 27.-Yesterday Sheriff

that Fra nix Chancey's wife was found
dead near their home and requested
that a coroner's inquest be held i'm
mediately. Judge Tew and Sheriff
Mayo went to Chancey's house and

Upon investigation the evidence
went to show, it is said, that Chancey,
with the help of two women of i'll re-
pute, had killed Mrs. Chancey some
time during the night and dragged her
through the fields to near the road
side, where passers-by saw her yes
terday morning.
Chancey and his wife came TO this
county about twenty years ago from
Alabama They never had any chill
dren but got along well until recent
years.
Chancey and the two women are
locked up in the county Jail. Chancey
has a good farm and is reported TO
have money.
The killing happened about eight
miles north of Bombay. The people
in that community are much incensed.
