I. McRAE'S REPLY
 TO EARLE w. HODGES

Earle W. Hodges has studied the
 &ble to little purpose, states Col.
 hos C. McRae in reply to asser-
 Spns made by Mir. Hodges in the open.
 hg speech of his campaign for Cover
 m, delivered recently at Forrest City
 |Nhen he lkens himself to the Sweet
 Snger of Isreal.' David was purdent,
 uutious, magnanimous brave and
 tuthful My opponent does not in-
 date that he has any of these charac-
 Rristics."
 In his statement Col. McRae devotes
 Re most of his time to charges made |E Mr. Hodges;-his having been at
 brney for New York holders of bonds Issued by the state in an effort to col \ let for the same; his having opposed D bank guaranty act, his record on prohibition, and his having served as a member of the liquidating commit |ke of the State National bank of Lit 'ue Rock, and at the same time he .hmbasts Secretary of State Hodges flor his refusal to permit an audit of hs office by the legally authorized agents of the State.
 Col. McRae points out that the bonds which he sought to have the State pay were non-Holford bonds which had been substituted for by the state fiscal agent in New York with void securities. The State board, composed of Gov. Dan. w. Jones, Sec ntary of State Alex c. Hull, State Auditor Clay Sloan, and State Treas urer Thos. E. Little, virtually ac- nowledged justice of the claim, but decllned to issue new state bonds for nem on the grounds that this board could only refund existing bonds, the ones in controversy having been des- foyed by state burning board. An Mort was then legally made to force payment of the bonds, which the tate showed to be the property of Hose who had surrendered them to ne burning board. The Federal court pheld the contention of the State )eot Board, so far as it's powers are oncerned, and also as to the justice the claim, suggesting that the mat CT be taken before the legislature. olll was introduced there but failed pass and there the contention of 'ol. McRae with the claim ended.
 T have lived to little purpose" says ol. MeRae, If such reckless charges an injure my professional integrity"
 The present banking law is worthy complete trial, and it will amply rotect the people of the state without bank guaranty act, according to Col. lcRae. He declares that he is not pposed to a guaranty act which will 'quire the stockholders of bank to responsible for it's deposits, but he 0es oppose an act which will make lem responsible for those of another Ahk. Col. McRae states that he did ppear before legislative committee ad spoke against loosely drawn and advised guaranty bill, which he be- yes was not for the best interest of the people of the state. He is in 'Vor Of encouraging capital, rather 'ah Frightening it from the state, and
 increasing the public confidence in inEs' :. rather than driving money into ''hg places, and through the pro- sea guaranty acts shake confidence
 'ne states banking institutions.

A Card Of Thanks.

| wish to thank my many kind
friends for their kindness and
assistance in the last illness of my
dear mother which will never be
forgotten. Dear mother has gone
home TO await for me from our
old earthv home. She has for
saken home. What is home
without a mother? She is a won
derful thing, a mother. Other
folks can love you, but only your
mother understands. She works
for yod, looks after you, loves you,
forgives you anything you do, nm
derstands you, and then the only
thing sad she ever does to you is
to die and leave you. So dear
brothers and sister, remember the
last dying words of dear mother
was to live right and meet her in
Heaven.
