Total Liabilities $65, 1000.

Harrisburg, Jan. S. The Grand Leader (Morris Hayutin) one of the largest dry goods es- tablishments of this city, was placed in the hands of a receiver today by it's creditors. T. w. Sparks was appointed receiver and the business vas turned ov- CT to him. 1t could not be learn ed what the assets and liabilities were today, but from the best ln- formation your correspondent could secure, the indebtedness will amount in the neighborhood of $45, ,000, besides about $20,000 of indebtedness to the cotton commission men, who have large amounts of cotton, probably enough to make them whole. The assets are composed of a brick store building in this city, worth about $6,000, a stock of goods that will probably invoice close to $18,000 in this city, and a stock in Newport, the size Of which we could not estimate.

pears as though Judge Kirby neglecting his own office to travel over the state making po-
 itical speeches, had taken ad- vantage of Senator Clarke's de- termination to stand by the peo- pie and remain in congress while tthe administration Currency bill was being put through, to chaI- lenge him to debate, and then belittle the Senator because he did not accept. There is about as much sport in this as throw ing rocks at a blind man, and the people will weigh the candi- date in accordance with the cheap politics he has endeavor- ed to play.
 The action of Judge Kirby in this instance is like that of the boy who goes close to the ken nel and leases the dog, when he knows the dog is tied, but who skedaddles to high ground when the dog is turned loose.
 The people see through the game, and until Judge Kirby musters courage to come out in the open and meet the man he challenged in joint debate, they will not consider him in the light of a man worthy of the Senatorial toga.
 Senator Clarke will now ar range his own itinerary, and Judge Kirby will be urged to be present. He will open his speech making tours this week, proba- bly, in Western Arkansas.
 There has never yet been a po- litical campaign in which the speaking dates of the candidates did not clash one or more times Those who follow political carn- paigns are anxiously awaiting the clash in Kirby and Clarke dates, and when it comes they will be on hands in great num- bers, for to use the words of an up state editor, Clarke will have to choose a place where there are plenty of trees in or der to find a place to hang the hide"
 No one blames Judge Kirby for his desire to preserve his cpl dermis, but they believe his side stepping should in the fu- ture be done in a less crude manner.

be submitted directly to the peo- pie through the candidates for the Legislature at the March primaries for the reason that we had a change in Engineers on the first of the month which ne cessltated considerable extra work around the office in the way of closing up the matters the retiring Engineer had on hand.
 1 am very much pleased to ad- wise you that Mir. Hugh E. Car ter, of the Class of 1907 of the University has accepted this place and that his services will now be available for the pur- poses indicated in your request. Mr. Carter is regarded all over the country as one of the best Highway Engineers in the south west. He has had much expert ence in road building, is a man of good character, sound judgment and of sterling integrity.
 The idea suggested in your letter, that practically all of your county should be thrown in- to an Improvement District for the purposes of issuing bonds to raise funds in order to build a county highway system com- plete is a good one and is in ad- vance of any other county we know anything of. However, l have had this matter in mind for sometime with view of sug- gesting it to such counties as may have the property values to sustain the tax. In the Legisla- ture of 1913 a law similar to the one you have in mind was pass ed for White county but when the same reached the then gov ernor it was vetoed for the very good reason that the road mile age was far in excess of any thing that the funds provided would take care of. This 1 take it is one of the features involved in your proposition you are seek ing to avoid by having the ser vices of an Engineer in advance. If it is agreeable to you l will have the Highway Engineer, MT. Carter, to leave here Sunday night arriving in your city Mon day morning in time for busi- ness. He can remain over Mon day and Tuesday, and return af- ter the 18th and remain so long as needed.
 Wire me immediately if this is satisfactory to you as 1 am re- serving the 18th and 18th of the Engineers time subject to your order.
 With best regards, l beg to re- main.
 Very truly yours,
 R. c. DYE, ! Chairman State Highway Com- mission.

 PROVING COSTLY
To Him In His Race Against Clarke And He May Yet Be
 Forced to Meet Senator.
Special to Independent.

cpeeldI tO IQQependent.
 Little Rock, Jan. S.-When 2 candidate for office is a weaklinq as an orator. there is an excuse for him when he declines a joint debate, but for the attorney who brides himself upon his oratori- cal ability, there can be none.
 It is still worse for the man .who challenges another to a de bate, when ne knows conditions will not permit the other to meet him, then takes the back track when the challenged candidate shows signs of accepting the de fl. The confidence of the sup porters of such a politician are shaken. for it is an admission of weakness they have led, by his blatant boasts to believe did not exist.
 Such 6 political monstrosity has just been indulged in by Vim. F. Kirby, who has worked him. self into a frenzy by imagining he is making a race for the Unit ed States Senate.
 After announcing to the world that Senator Clarke was invited to be present at all political ap- pointments of Judge Kirby, and that he would give him a fair division of time, Judge Kirby suddenly finds himself the fath- CT of a different opinion, and he has declined to arrange a joint campaign with the Senator. For nearly a month Judge Kir- by has gone over Northwest Ar kansas, and frequently repeated ] it in Little Rock hotel corridors, declaring that Senator Clarke would not meet him on the stump. He intimated cowardice on the part of the United States Senator. He did not permit them to get the impression that lSenator Clarke was attending to his duties, forcing the vote on the Currency bill before the hol- idays. Such, however, was the case.
 In announcing his speaking dates, Judge Kirby placed on the Ibottom the invitation to Sena- tor Clarke to be present. A CODY of one circular was mailed to Senator Clarke. It was inn possible for Senator Clarke to lleave his official duties at that time, and Judge Kirby was well enough acquainted with the facts to risk the invitation tC joint debate. Senator Clarke re- piled in a campaign announce ment in which he stated that he would be glad to arrange a joint debate as soon as he could leave Washington.
 Last week Senator Clarke wrote Judge Kirby letter-the first that has passed between Ithe candidates in this campaign -asking him to arrange for the joint campaign. Senator klr- by replied that there were no longer any issues between the candidates, and a joint debate would be unpleasant. To those who know the oratorical ability Of the two do not doubt this statement that it would be un- pleasant-particularly to Judge Kirby.
 Persons who are supposed to be near and dear to the Kirby campaign management, have in- timated for several weeks that there wo-ld be no joint cam paign, but no one believed the showing of the white feather would go 10 this extent.

,,Nc TO EXCELL IN HOS- Sihr,r,1ITy AT STATE REUNION
os Veterans Will Be Given Hna n. Welcome at Reunion to be ueld in Little Rock. Nov. 3'
 and 5-1O,OOO Expected.

r to ooual the 1911 Confederate w ;on in crowds, but to excel 1t in l,;tolitv, h'a is the aim of the Robert r @V'y Newton camp of Sons of Confede- sate ' Veterans, in the entertainment ia~ no Arkansas veterans during the VI l,to rounion to be held in Little Rock M"w ,. 3 4. and 5. While they realize .sat M the reunion of 1911 was the zen ;th a in the way of Confederate reunion, .la it. Sons believe they can arrange to ..ro for the Arkansas veterans in or Iar that they may have more comforts ,bor in the big nationa reunion.
 The municipal auditorium will be .ecpred to house the veterans, and the government will be asked to supply so+, and blankets. The Auditorium Is wall lighted and heated, so the veter- ons can be made very comfortable. no matter how cold the weather may turn. Meals will be supplied the veterans for three days, several of the city res nurants being called upon to look af- ter this department.
 The veterans will be rendered re- ceptions and invited to balls, as well as being featured in a most extensive
  parade. It is planned to make this a novel affair, and make up in interest what it will lack in numbers, due to the rapidity with which the Confeder- ate soldiers are passing away.
 It is expected that at least 10000 visitors will be attracted to Little Rock for that big affair, and whatever credit there will be for 9 successful entertainment will go to the Robert C. Newton camp, for the other camps of the state have not been requested to bear a portion of the expense or do any of the labor required.
 The Pulaski county fair will take place at the same time, and arrange ments are being made to set aside one day there for the Veterans with a programme arranged especially for them.

CALLS MEETING OF BANKERS
 MERCHANTS AND FARMERS
Governor Hays Asks Them to Gather at Little Rock September 29th to Devise Ways and Means to
 Take Care of Cotton.

Little Rock, Sept. 23.-Gov. Hays has addressed the following letter to the governors of fourteen Southern States:
 "At the request of the business in- terests of the state of Arkansas I have issued a proclamation designating Sept. 29 as the day when the bankers, merchants and farmers should meet in conference at the Hotel Marion, Lit tie Rock, to take up and discuss, and, if possible to devise ways and means to take care of, at least, a portion of the cotton that will be offered by the planters this fall.
 An invitation has been extended to MT. Chas. S. Barrett, president of the National Farmers Union and the ob- ject of this letter is to urgently invite you to be with us in this conference. We would appreciate thoroughly any suggestions that you might feel in- clined to offer as the best means of handling this troublesome proposition. l will thank you for an early reply and trust it may be in the form of an acceptance.
