CENTENARY OF GREAT EVENT
Natives of India Honored Memory of Missionary Who Taught Their
 Ancestors.

Few events grip the heart and in- terest of man sufficiently to command after 100 years, an international, or even national. recognition In purely secular circles the fact that Adoniram 1udson landed on Indian shores 100 years ago may excite little interest but to the Christian world 1t was an event second to but few in the history of the Christian church.
 At the opening service more than 5000 native Christians filled to over flowing the two largest audienc rooms In Rangoon, while hundreds were turn ed away for want of room.
 The second session was given to "reminiscences of Judson by those who had seen him. It was notable that of the five living missionaries who had seen Judson all were women. These were followed by simultaneous pray CT service, 1t having been arranged that at the same hour in America and all Baptist mission fields they should unite with the great centennial gather ing in simultaneous prayer
 The music of the entire celebration was in charge of two choirs, Burman and Karen, which rendered the most difficult English anthems, quartets and solos, to the great delight and admira tion of all present.
 After three days at Rangoon the scene of the celebration was trans ferred to Moulmein for two days, and then to Mandalay and other places of interest, closing at Bassein on Decem- Der 30.-Christian Herald

SPEAK UP, SENATOR

Judge Walls of Lonoke and Henry Traylor of Conway are members of the executive committee of the State Democratic Central Committee, who will canvass the results of the pri- mary election Both are candidates for United States marshal for the Eastern district of Arkansas.
 Senator Clarke is depending upon both of them to vote to sustain the Poinsett larceny which gives him a majority for the senate.
 If Senator Clarke will announce now whom he is going to appoint as marshal, we will guarantee that he will not have the support of both of these men in the committee.

If a Naturalist Painted,

If were to paint the short days of winter I should paint two towering ice bergs approaching each other like promontories, for morning and eve ming. with cavernous recesses, and a solitary traveller wrapping his cloak about him and bent forward against the driving storm, just entering the narrow pass. 1 would paint the light of a taper at midday, seen through a cottage window, half buried in snow and frost .. In the foreground should appear the harvest, and far in the background, through the pass, should be seen the sewers in the fields and other evidences of spring. On the right and left of the approaching ice bergs the heavens should be shaded off from the light of midday to mid night with its stars, the sun being low in the sky.-Henry David Thoreau

Sheffield Cutlery laqs.

Sheffield is famed throughout the world for it's cutlery. but this Is no longer the city's chief or even second ary industry. In the finest class of cutlery Sheffield probably still excels, but good scissors from Germany are now sold in the English town for less money than the grinding of the com peting article alone costs in Sheffield The leading cutlery firm, doing q world export trade, operates without the use of telephone, and another, of equal fame. occupies quarters of the most primitive character. It is in the production of armaments and ship material that Sheffield now stands to the fore.

and adding 335 to Clarke's


 Ze, making net change of 300. She Gazette refused to accept Going's figures, but later he got his band of political highwaymen together and wrote up d certificate which they brought with them to Little Rock yes terday. Seeing that they did not need to go quite so strong, when they ar rived in the capital city they cut off 100 of the fraudulent votes they had stolen for Clarke, and left his net majority in the county 1,071, instead of 1,171, as Going had declared it stood shortly after midnight Monday.
 So that the official" vote in Poin- sett county stands 1 52l for Clarke and 450 for Kirby, total vote in the county of ,97l. But the case-harden- ed thieves went little too far It was ascertained from certified state ment issued by State Auditor L. L. Coffman that in 1913 only 1,537 per sons paid poll taxes in Poinsett coun- ty, of whom 1,442 were whites and 95 negroes. If every man in the en- tire county,-white, black, Democrat, Republican, Bull Moose and Social ist-had gone to the polls on Wednes- day of last week, they would still have lacked 434 of the number which Going is attempting to certify as vot- ing. ,H Ordinarily, whatever charges of corruption have been brought, the Log Cabin Democrat does not believe in c0ntesting an election. But if Judge Kirby would supinely submit to such an outrageous robbery, he would be guilty of craven cowardice and would be unworthy of the people who supported him. He ought to fight to the last ditch against this band of scoundrels. He will fght-and in his fight he will be aided by thousands of honest Democrats who voted for Clarke, but whose every sense of de- cency is outraged by infamous crime of these nighttime burglars in Poin- sett county.
 It would have been just as legal and just as much in proportion to the number of poll tax receipts in Faulkner county for Col. c. w. Bruce, who acted as chairman of our county convention, to draw up cer- tifcate showing that Kirby received 1000 votes and Clarke 100 votes in Faulkner county, and attempt to have such figures included in the official count, as it was for Night Rider Go- ing to perpetrate such a debauchery of the ballots as he did in Poinsett county
 If such as this is continued, there will be no use of honest people voting in our state primary elections where the outcome is in any way close. We might as well stay at home and let the Clyde Goings and the other Dick Turpins of Eastern Arkansas politics decide who shall have our offices,
 But we have too much confidence in the integrity of the people to believe that they will longer tamely endure such outrages. The time has come when decent Democrats must assert themselves. Irrespective of whom they supported in the primary, they should demand-and enforce their demand-that Judge Kirby be given

Also the great need for a man to surrender his life to God, to be used in the line of work called of God, whatever that work may be.

stance of Zeal burglary ever at tempted in the state of Arkansas or any other state.
 If Senator Clarke possessed in any degree whatever the elements of greatness attributed to him by his friends, he would have instantly de- nounced this outrageous steal and conceded the nomination honestly won by his successful opponent.
 This state has so long endured the domination of Eastern Arkansas po- litical thieves that it has become rather accustomed to having to over come padded votes and ballot box stuffing by these crooks, before the majority of the honest Democrats have chance to nominate the men of their choice. As was foreseen by everyone this corrupt bunch of rob bers were under the control of Sen ator Clarke in the late primary cleo ton. They responded to their ut most. Holding out until the last min- ute, they returned tremendous ma lorities-majorities representing more than the entire voting strength of the counties, in some cases-for Sen ator Clarke, in the hope of defeat ing the honest peoples choice
 In the midnight hours of Monday night it was seen that in spite of all the ballot box robberies perpetrated in Eastern Arkansas, Judge Kirby, on the face of the official returns, had still won the nomination by majori- ty of 184. Something had to be done. The Clarke forces turned to the tool who seemed most likely to do their bidding The choice fell upon L. Clyde Going of Poinsett county Go ing had just come out of the shadow of, Jail for corrupting a jury He would be willing to be the ''goat." Over the long distance telephone they appealed to Going. We must have 500 more majority for Clarke" they told him.
 Poinsett county had already by it's official returns sent in vote of L. 296 for Clarke to 615 for Kirby, majority of 671 for Clarke. These figures had been telegraphed to the Ganette by it's correspondent But Going called up the Gazette and told it that the vote in Poinsett coun- ty was 1,621 for Clarke to 450 for Kirby, a Clarke majority of 1,171. He did this by taking k65 votes from
