HUDDLESTON GETS
! SUPPORT OF COOK
Chicot County Judge Withdraws
from Race for Attorney Gener-
al in Favor of Local Candidate

Little Rock, May 25.-The con-
ference held in Little Rock Satur-
day by friends of M. P. Huddleston
of Paragould and Judge Harry E.
Cook of Lake Village resulted in
the settlement of the attorney gen.
erals race SO far as the two gentle
men are concerned. 1t was agreed
that Mr.. Huddleston should be the
candidate of that section of the
state, and that the friends of Mr..
Cook will lend him every possible
aid. This means that Mr.. Huddle-
ston will practically have the unit
ed support of the democracy of that
section of the state, which COM
prises all the counties in the vicini-
ty of the Mississippi river.
1t was stated yesterday that Gov.
Hays would make a formal an
nouncement during the next few
days relative to his candidacy for a
third term. The governor has prac-
tically completed all arrangements
for entering the contest. When one
of his friends was asked yesterday
what was meant by completing ar
rangements, he replied by saying
that the governor desired to know
ing on another gubernatorial cam
his financial status before embark
paign.
1t is now practically assured that
the primaries will be held next
March, the date designated by the
democratic state convention held at
Pine Bluff last June. The plan to
set the day at later date on ac-
count of the passage by the last
legislature of the election consoli-
dation measure has been abandon
ed, it was stated yesterday.

SUIT MAY CRIPPLE
OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM
Geo. B. Cook Says Action Of Sena'
tor Edmondson Will Play Havoc
With Funds.

Little Rock, May 26.-State SUI
perintendent George B. Cook charges
in an authorized interview that the
suit brought by Senator Edmondson
to enioin the issuance of warrants
on the state treasury for state ala
to high schools, sis deliberate at
tempt to cripple the entire pubic
school system for two years, 10
shorten the term in every district
to close the schools in hundreds Oh
districts. and to cause general re-
pudiation of payments on school
bonds. thus bringing the credit OF
the state into serious question
The 14S schools that will be af-
fected by the injunction give free
tuition to $500 country boys and
girls and to five hundred teachers.
The annual apportionment of school
funds amounts to about one and
one-third million dollars, and SUI
perintendent Cook contends that
this fund cannot be distributed
without specific appropriation If
the contention advanced by Sena-
tor Edmondson concerning the $780,
600 for state aid should be held as
tenable. He insists that If Senator
Edmondson is true friend of edu-
cation, he should have sought to
safeguard the interests of the school
while in the legislature.
1.-THE attorney general and asso-
ciated attorneys, the state board Of
education and the state department
of public instruction believe both
the letter and the spirit of the law
have been complied with, but it is
we'll for the people of the state to
know that not only state aid is be-
ing attacked but also to know that
the entire common school fund is
probably being placed in equal dan
ger, if there be any danger in Sen
ator Edmondson's suit"

PROF. L. B. RAY
AWARDED HONOR
Superintendent of Paragould Schools
Given Scholarship in Peabody
Summer Normal.

Prof. L. B. Ray, superintendent
of the schools of Paragould, has
been signally honored in securing
an appointment from the state de-
partment of education as one of the
two men in Arkansas to take the
summer teachers course in the
George Peabody college for teach
ers at Nashville, Tenn. The other
selection for the state is Prof. ]. r..
Allen of Pine Bluff. Practically
every school superintendent in the
state aspires to these scholarships
each year, though only two from
Arkansas can be chosen. The Sc
lections are made upon credentials
submitted to the state department
Of education. The fact that Prof
Ray was one of the fortunate ones
over several hundred applicants in
some measure indicates the signal
honor that has been conferred upon
Him.
Notification of his appointment
came this morning in the followirg
letter from Geo. B. Cook, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction:
81 have this day notified Presi-
dent Payne Of George Peabody col
leoe, that YOU have been designated
b. me as one of the two whom

scholarships for the summer term
at the George Peabody college for

will intervene to prevent you from
attending this summer term and
that you will receive much profit

A Wonderful Healing Influence in

with a severe attack of Kidney

extent that morphine had to be CIV

School Notes

The state department of educa-
ton has sent normal certificates to
the following members of the grad
uating class of the Paragould high
school: Ernest Batten. Lloyd Nc
Whirter, Valeria Brown, Ralph
Jones, and Jean Garner. These
certificates are only issued to those
pupils who have completed the
high school course and in addition
have done all the work offered in
the normal department Of the high
school. The holders of these GER
tificates may teach anywhere in the
state, without further examina-
tions, for a period of eight years.
The above named pupils are the
first graduates of our high school
that have received state certifi-
Gates for the work done in the nor
NAL department; so they are justly
entitled to a little pride for this
recognition by the state for the
work they have done. All the
members of the junior and senior
classes have done some work in
Psychology and pedagogy but only
those who have successfully COM
pleted all the work offered by the
normal department were given
state certificates.
The work done by these normal
graduates included work in psychol-
ogy, pedagogy, review of the COM
mon branches with methods of
teaching them. course in hygiene
and sanitation with special applica-
ton to school room sanitation, and
observation of the work done in
the city schools. The observation
work was done under the direction
Of critic teacher and the prob
lens encountered were studied in
class. So this work has been made
just as practical for these young
teachers as it very we'll could be.
Nearly all the members of the
normal class have secured schools
for the summer in the rural dis
tricts; so it can be seen how direct
ly this increased efficiency gained
in the high school goes to the rural
population. 1 trust that next year
a still larger number of the boys
and girls of the country will take
advantage of the free tuition offer
ed by the high school. They can
drive into town on Mondays and
return home on Fridays so the home
relations will not be broken off as
1t would be if they had to go a
longer distance to school. Farmers
usually come to town every Satur-
day, anyway, so there would not be
but one extra trip to make. Some
OF the pupils secure work in private
homes to pay their board, so the
necessary expense for attending
high school is not very great.

SWALLOWED JUNK
FOR THIRTY YEARS
Nails, Bolts, Knives, Coins, Bullets
and Other "Bric-a- Brac" in
Mans Stomach.

Seattle, Wash, May 23.-What
would you do if you had wsallaoin
would you do if you had swallowed
jack knife? Or, perhaps, several
jack knives? What would you
take for your chance of living if
you had dined on broken glass, with
handful of pins and nails as a
"chaser?"
James Fitzgerald, 67 years old,
didn't hurriedly repent and rush for
doctor when he ate of such fare.
On the contrary, he went about his
business and slept soundly Of nights,
with no suggestion of internal I'M
easiness. And he did it for thirty
years.
Last week out at the county hos
pital they performed an operation
on Fitzgerald, and when it was all
over the surgeons awarded him
without stint the doubtful honor of
DClhS CllC VI lhdl uuludH OSLl
The patients stomach yielded liza
bits of broken glass, jack knives,
nails, pins, coins and other pieces of
bric-a-brac. The collection of de-
bris weighs more than a pound.
Fitzgerald's stomach contained
the following articles: Eight knives,
one bolt, two and one-half inches
long, with nut on the end; a
dime, shoemaker's awl, loaded
key, five pins, nine parts of jack
knive handles, eleven knife blades,
four German key ring tags, three
nails and more than 100 bits of
glass and metal.
And Fitzgerald is going to get
well. A brawny, big framed, two
listed man who stands more than
six feet tall in his stocking feet and
weighs nearly 200 pounds, Fitzger-
aid will be out of the hospital with
in ten days, say the doctors. And
once well he is going to curb his
voracious longing for cutlery and
cut glass.
ut was back in Quincy, ILL.,, in
1885, during President Cleveland's
first term that l discovered I could
become a human hardware store
without half trying" said Fitzger-
aid, as he propped himself up on
one elbow on his cot and told his
story in rich brogue. There was
no work in sight, and 1 finally de-
clded to end my life, after I had
gone for a week without eating.
But did l go and lay down in front
of a train or jump off a bridge?
did not.
II went out along the railroad
track and picked up several pebbles
that were small enough to swallow.
and then 1 sneaked up to a house
where they were making repairs
and stole handful of Single nails.
And L swallowed them and then
went out alongside the track and
lay down to die.
Il fell asleep. l woke next morn
ing, and was surprised to find I
was not dead. l was not feeling
any discomfort from the nails and
stones in my stomach. And then I
knew that | need never go hungry
again"
Fitzgerald tells how he would
walk into saloon, go up to
group of men who were drinking,
and say:
II can eat that glass you have in
your hand"
IF you can I'll give you $500"
would be the usual reply. And then
he would crunch the glass in his
teeth and gulp it down. Sometimes,
if the bartender objected to this
feat, he would borrow a jack knife
and swallow it with ease. Or it
might be some other article. Fitz-
gerald was not particular, provid-
ing he could get it down.
