CHARGE ELECTION
JUDGES With FRAUD
Argenta Candidate for Justice OF the
Peace Wants Court to Exam.
inc Vote.

Little Rock, Sept. 2S.-The election
further complicated. through the APP
plication for an injunction, filed in
Pulaski Chancery court by Duke Har-
ston, asking that the county election
commissioners be restrained from is
suing certificates to justice of the
peace until the votes cast for such Of
ficials in Argenta be examined in
court.
Harston was nominated on the
Democratic ticket for justice Of the
peace. He had consented to serve as
non-active justice. 1t was later
claimed that he had supported George
Scott. Republican constable in the
previous election, and this was never
denied, SO Harston was dropped from
the ticket and a substitution made.
In the election many people wrote
Harston's name on the ticket, and it
seemed apparent that he was elected,
just as Scott had been.
Though the election judges returned
a count in favor Of Tom Warnell,
Democrat, on a recount the office was
given to Scott. A recount was not
made in the justice of the peace race
1t is claimed by Harston that in two
polling places the judges failed to
keep copy of the tally sheet, as re-
quired by law, or if they did they have
destroyed it, In another ward the
judges have declined to permit Har-
ston or his friends from inspecting
their sheet. Harston claims that
when the sheets are obtained that
they will show the names of many
people who have not voted, or who
were not entitled TO vote. He as
serts that citizens of Argenta who fav-
ored him, but did not go to the polls
have been visited by some of the
judges acting in the recent election
and Informed that their names had
been voted. even though they were
not present. and they have been asked
to swear that they cast the ballots
as counted.

BUSINESS NEEDS PUSHING.

Most people agree that the United
States will get new trade out of the
European war, but at present there's
some nervousness in certain lines Of
business. And yet, so far as We OF
this immediate section are concerned
there's little cause for apprehension.
OF course, cotton is not selling for
what it is worth, but the demand is
rapidly increasing and all signs point
to cotton bringing fair price if it is
kept off the market for a while.
People need just as much now as
they ever did, and few are permitting
the war in Europe to interfere with
their comforts or pleasures. The
business exists here, and those who
60 after it are not complaining.
The right view to take of the mat
ter was illustrated by the course OF a
certain manufacturing concern. They
found war complications had cut off
about Is per cent of their trade.
What did they do? A timid manage
ment might have called in part of
their statesmen, in order to save ex-
pense.S
On the contrary, this firm took their
highest-priced man, and started him
out on q very extensive and expens-
i've tour ALL over the country. Their
cid trade being injured, they are
meeting the situation by drumming up
new business. ia I'D
This spirit OF enterprise and of
adaptiveness to conditions has a. les
son for all engaged in retail trade.
Here and there one finds merchant
who feels shaky about the business
situation. He decides that he mrst
prune his expenses, SO perhaps he
cuts his advertising appropriation.

The successful and enterprising
business, if it finds its sales hurt by
the present depression, is trying to
make new customers. and increas:n,,

The Dawn of Christianity
As Described In
THE NEW TESTAMENT
Translated from the Original Greek.

continued there not many days
10. And the Jews passover was at
hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusa-
lem.
IA. And found in the temple those
that sold oxen and sheep and doves,
and the changers of money sitting:
Is. And when he had made a
scourge of small cords, he drove them
all out of the temple, and the sheep,
and the oxen; and poured out the
changers money, and overthrow the
tables
Is. And said unto them that sold
doves. Take these things hence;
make not my Fathers house an house
of merchandise.
II. And his disciples remembered
that it was written, The zeal of thine
house hath eaten me up.
IL. Then answered the Jews and
said unto him, What sign shewest thou
unto us, seing that thou doest these
things?
10. Jesus answered and said unto
them, Destroy this temple, and in
three days | will raise it up.
20. Then said the Jews, Forty and
six years was this temple in building,
and wilt thou rear it up in three days
q. But he spake of the temple of
his body. la, &.q|u
70. When therefore he was risen
from the dead, his disciples remem-
bered that he had said this unto
them; and they believed the scripture,
and the word which Jesus had said.
%. Now when he was in Jerusalem
at the passover, in the feast day,
many believed in his name, when they
saw the miracles which he did.
"a. But Jesus did not commit him
self unto them, because he knew all
men,
%. And needed not that any should
testify of man: for he knew what was
in man.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ST. JOHN.

CHAPTER 2.
And the third day there was q mar
riage in Cana of Galilee; and the
mother of Jesus was there;
2. And both Jesus was called, and
his disciples, to the marriage.
3. And when they wanted wine, the
mother of Jesus saith unto him, They
have no wine.
4. Jesus saith unto her, Woman
what have to do with thee? mine
hour is not yet come.
5. His mother saith unto the SER
wants, Whatsoever he saith unto you
do it.
6. And there were set there six
waterpots of stone, after the manner
of the purifying of the Jews, contain
ing two or three firkins apiece.
Z. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the
waterpots with water. And they fill
ed them up to the brim.
8. And he saith unto them, Draw
out now, and bear unto the governor
of the feast. And they bare it.
9. When the ruler of the feast had
tasted the water that was made wine,
and knew not whence it was: (but
the servants which drew the water
knew;) the governor of the feast call
ed the bridegroom,
10. And saith unto him, Every man
at the beginning doth set forth good
wine; and when men have we'll drunk
en-, then that which is worse: but
thou hast kept the good wine until
now.
IL. This beginning of miracles did
Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and mani
tested forth his glory; and his dis
ciples believed on him.

pernaum, he, and his mother, and his
brethren, and his disciples: and they

ARKANSAS FOUR
FARM COLLEGES,
by JOHN III. PAGE.
Commissioner of Agriculture.

The farmers of Arkansas have four
district Agricultural colleges to which
they send their girls and boys, where
they can receive a practical and use
full education in farm and domestic
life, and at the same time get the ad-
vantage Of literary training, and the
farmers should send their children to
these schools. L. will cost but little
for boy Or girl to attend one of
these colleges for a term, but I am
sure if the boy or girl attends one
term there will be extra efforts made
to send them through. until ,ney
graduate. The boys and girls who
graduate from these colleges can go
back en the farm better equipped for
useful service, and better able to
make farm life more prosperous, nap
pier, and more attractive. l speak
from personal knowledge when l tell
you Of the great advantages there
agricultural colleges can give your
boys and girls.
We need the highest degree Of in
telligence on the farms, and nothing
will pay bigger and better returns On
the farm. than an agricultural educa-
ton. The boy who has an agricul-
tural education and goes back On the
farm with his fathers wisdom,
knowledge and experience to help
him, will make good farmer nine
times out OF ten. We cannot say that
nine out of ten farmers arc good
farmers now. We all know that. sc
strain point to send your boys 80
enc of these colleges:
One of the splendid features of an
AGRICULTURAL education is the know
ledge obtained in regard to stock
breeding and stock raising. Arkan-
sas must Immediately turn her at
tention to stock if we are going to
prosper as we should. The time is
coming when we will make our mark
in stock raising, and now is the time
to give the boys an education thai
will enable them to do their best
Other states are advancing along this
line, and il we educate the boys we
can keep pace with them.
One of the colleges is located al
Russellville: one at Monticello; one
at Jonesboro; and one at Magnolia

TAINE BLUFF
- ROGRESS
ROSPERITY
THAT .CoTTVN MILL.

Apathy and, lethargy' have killed
more promising towns than anything
else. In order TO build up place to-
day, work and money are necessary.
The time is past when manufacturers
went about seeking locations. Lo-
cations today seek the manufacturers.
Pine Bluff has an excellent chance
to secure cotton factory.
The Chamber of Commerce is COR
responding with a manufacturer dis
posed to late cotton mill here. The
travelling men have assumed the task
of raising bonus to secure a cotton
mill. The travellers plan to-. secure
donations Of cotton and present It as
bonus to the manufacturer who will
erect and operate a mill here. They
are confident of securing without diff
ficulty at least 500 bales, equivalent
to a cash bonus of $4,000.
Cotton growers can afford to con-
tribute to such fund.-" for they will
derive direct benefit. If there is a
demand locally for 1000 bales at a
cent above the market price, it will
stimulate the Pine Bluff cotton mar
ket. Even at S. bale on 1000 bales
it would mean that growers would
secure $4,000 more for their cotton
than they do now. The elimination
of freight charges between producer
and manufacturer will enable the
farmer to get better price, and the
cotton mill man to save money.
One years purchases by the cotton
mill will put into the farmers peck
cts $30,O0O more than they would re-
ccive without the cotton mill. Twenty
Thousand dollars-almost as much as
the bonus. And this would go on
year after year. For the $4,000 given
In cotton, the growers would get back
hundreds OF thousands. In ten years
they would receive for their cotton
100000 more than they can now OBJ
tain. Money that now goes to the
railroads would go to the farmer.
The city would increase it's Dime,

as it is today. A grand opportunity
to obtain good citizens was overlook
| ed
Practically the same opportunity
will soon again exist.
Southeast Arkansas should grasp it.
At little trouble and little expense
thousands of the long-suffering Euro
pean farmers could be induced to set
tie in the Pine Bluff country. n
Fifty acres would be big planta-
ton or estate to these people. And
how they would make thoes fifty
acres produce. Instead of growing
about twenty bales of cotton, they
grow livestock, vegetables, grains and
perhaps, little cotton. Instead OF
a return of $40 an acre they'd soon be
obtaining return Of 500 an acre
and building up the land all the time.
Think what it would mean to have
1000 families working $4,000 acres in
the Pine Bluff country: An increase
in the population OF at least 5000, and
in the value of farm products of $5,-
100000 annually. Just what addition
al value would accrue to lands cannot
be estimated, but it would be enorm-
Gus.
Pine Bluff and Southeast Arkansas
should make effort to obtain some of
these people. Organization should
be perfected now, so when the war
terminates representatives could be-
dispatched to the countries to bring
over colonists.
1t can be done. 1t should be done.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars would
be regarded as a small bonus for a.
bringing 5000 people to COM
munity. Five thousand people on
farms are worth as much, at least.
Owners of large tracts of land could
afford to defray the expenses of colo
nizers, sell to the colonists alternate
farms at from $40 to $40 an acre and
then dispose OF the remainder of their
tracts for more than they can obtain
for the entire holdings now.
Isn't such profit-promising pro-
ject worth prosecuting?
