~ moving picture company has
~ cinch passes up his chance of be-
L n ing father of his country.
Most people think that all a director
has to do is to direct They're dead
wrong: that's the smallest task he has.
He must be enough of diplomat to con-
duct the peace negotiations in Europe;
he must know every branch of theatricals,
from four-a-day vaudeville to sunnyside
burlesque; he must be photographer,
clown, fctionist, artist, aviator, equestrian,
meteorologist, and an expert on such
subjects as optics, landscape-gardening
architecture, history, fashion, women,
finance, and million or so other things.
I'm thinking that if I'd known all that
before they shipped me from the New
Jersey studio down to Bat Cave, North
Carolina, in charge of my own company,
| probably shouldn't have accepted the
commission.
OF course, did have good company
under me-one of the best in the country:
with Curly Locks and his wife, the:famous
Eunice Bailey, playing the stellar roles
and Frank Tavis as my chief camera man.
I'd just reached the point where l felt |
could lean back in contentment when they
sent little Doris Burroughs to do thrill
stuff.
nORIS BURROUGHS was working in
an acrobatic sister act on big-time
vaudeville when our bunch got hold of
her. She could do anything, from back
flip from standing position to Gertrude
Hoffman symphony in the air, hanging
with her teeth.
She was little, 1.-THE, blonde, vivacious,
and pretty as could be, not as deep as the
Atlantic Ocean, and the most outrageous
| fiirt I've ever seen in my life.
don't reckon there was any real harm
in her devil-may-care makeup, and she
didn't realize half the damage that she
caused under various and sundry fifth
ribs; but it was her boast that she could
make fool out of any man living-and
she did. She had every man-jack in our
company more or less wild about her,
saving and excepting only Curly Locks,
and he was still too engrossed with Eunice
Bailey, his bride of six weeks, to pay at
tention to any other skirted being in the
world.
But after Doris had been with us for
while we got a little bit tired of her con-
tinual flirting and the men began dropping
her. The women never had cottoned to
her much, although she didn't seem to
realize that, and managed to be the life
of every gathering we had.
THIN GSw were settling down into pleas

But must admit that all hisgood qualities

provide a system of high schools
for the rural districts in order that
the boys and girls living on the
farms might have advantages equal
with those living in the towns and

with failure, until he conceived the
idea of using very small portion of

no useful purpose and expanding it
to provide these advantages for the
rural boys and girls. He says the
results have far exceeded his eXpec

A decrease of $4,000 bales in the

Just issued. The total number OF

ned in 1913 was 1,061,02S bales.
Mississippi county led the state in
cotton production with 61,96S bales,
an increase of nearly $4,000 bales
over 1913. Other large cotton-pro-
ducing counties were Crittenden,
Jefferson and Phillips.
The report shows that Greene

CAL OMEL DYNAM|TES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making you
sick and you lose days
work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without
making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides, it may saliyate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.

TREASURER WINS
IN CLAY COURT
Officer in Clay, Accused of Short
age, Will Be Permitted to Re-
Omen Old Settlement Accounts

The Piggott Banner of this week
contained the following article re-
garding the fight between eX-Treas-
urer c. A. Cargill and former Sher-
if Matthews over an alleged short
age in the treasurer's accounts:
cat call term of the county
court held recently, ex-Treasurer c..
A. Cargill made a plea through his
attorneys that settlements made be-
tween himself and exSheriff Mat
thews be opened, with view of
correcting discrepancies which Mr..
Cargill claims appear in them. The
case was fought by Mr.. Matthews
and his attorneys.
Judge Irby heard the evidence
end the arguments of attorneys on
both sides of the case, and decided
in favor of Mr.. Cargill. An appeal
was taken to the circuit court. The
case came before Judge Gautney
this week with the result that the
opinion of the lower court was af-
firmed.
ported shortage of Mr.. Cargill,
which created quite a good deal of
excitement at the time he went out
of office last November. 1t was re-
ported at that time that Mr.. Cargill
was short in his accounts with the
county to the extent. of about six
teen thousand dollars. The grand
jury Investigated the matter at the
January term of the circuit court,
bat failed to find sufficient evil
dence on which to base an indict-
ment. Since that time there have
been funds unearthed which go to
the credit of Mr. Cargill. This
amount leaves a shortage of some
thing like eight thousand dollars
Mr. Cargill, however, claims that
this amount is incorrect, and is
making fight through the courts
for REIMBURSEMENT of all his set
Elements for the past four years, or
during the tenure of Mr.. Matthews
in office.
The case will likely go to the
supreme court before it is finally
settled, whether or not Mr.. Cargill
may have his settlements with the
former sheriff opened and examined
by expert accountants.

MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS ARE FILED TO
TEST VETO OF SAWYER RACING BILL
w H. Martin and Senator Clarke Contend Governor

written the word dis in front of
the bill. After listening to the ar
guments of friends of the bill, the
governor scratched out the dis
in front of approved and let it stand

Governor Hays gave the bill to his
private secretary, Harry Stewart,
and told him to take it to the office
of the secretary of state to be filed,
and to take a message to the house
that the bill had been approved. Be-
fore Mr. Stewart got to the secre-
tary Of states office he was recall
ed and the governor again took the
bill. 1t was nearly O'Clock at that
time. The governor took the bill
to his home, returning it to the
capitol that night at 9:10 O'Clock;
that night the bill was sent to the
house, which was in night session,
with the veto message.
Representative r. A. Dowdy Of
Independence county raised point
of order that the bill already was a
law; that the governor had allowed
the prescribed time allowed for him
to approve or disapprove bill prior
to his first action on the bill, and
therefore it had become law with
out his signature Speaker Sawyer
sustained the point of order and
declared the bill a law. The bill
then was filed in the office of the
secretary of state.
Formal demand was made on
the secretary of state to include the
measure with the bills approved by
the governor when they are adver-
tised. 1t was agreed that Mr.
Hodges should decline, acting on
the advice of the attorney general,
thus giving grounds for mandam-
us suit and thus opening the way
for the affair to be threshed out in
court. Should the courts sustain
the suit and order the secretary OF
state to include the bill with the
acts advertised, they will hold the
bill is a law and that it's approval
by the governor could not be re-
voked by veto message sent to the
house later.

Prof. B. w. TQrreyson of Little
Rock, occupying the chair of profess
sor OF secondary education in Ar
kansas, arrived in the city early this
morning and spent several hours
here inspecting the Paragould high
school. Prof. Torreyson is one of
the ablest educators in the state
having been superintendent of the
schools in Fort Smith and Little
Rock. His work now is in connec-
education, and covers the high
schools in the state that participate
in the state aid. In fact, Prof. Tor
reyson is the originator of the idea
of allotting funds TO the high
schools that come up to the requir-
ed standard, in order that deserving
and ambitious boys and girls in the
rural districts may receive advanced
educational opportunities. When
told this morning that Senator Ed
mondson had filed proceedings to
test the constitutionality of the act
giving aid to high schools, Prof
Torreysor said he did not fear the
outcome OF the litigation, that no
well posted lawyer who processes
knowledge of the constitution will
take the position that the act is I'M
constitutional. This question was
