BROUCh DfNOUNCES
ACTS OF GOV. HAYS
IN ADDRESS HERE TODAY
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
SAYS MACHINE CONTROLS
STATE POLITICS.

DR.. c. II. Brough, candidate for
governor, delivered his campaign ad-
dress before large and enthusiastic
audience at the Grand Theatre here
this afternoon. He was introduced
by Mayor j. Frank Jones. His ad-
dress was along the usual lines, con-
tanning severe indictment of the po-
litical machine which he said was
controlling Arkansas politics and
was bartering off the states birth
right, like Esau of old, for mess OF
political pottage." The most pro-
nounced departure from his address
was Dr. Brough's charge that 1.-The
patronage and pardoning power of
the governors office was being traded
of in an effort to elect Earle Hodges >
Dr. Brough said the governors office
was being made political clearing
house in the interest of the politicians
who were trying to elect Hodges. He
said that Governor Hays had ap-
pointed relatives of his family to po-
sitions carrying salaries of over $13,-
600 and said that if elected governor,
he would recommend that the legisla-
ture pass an anti-nepotism law, which
would apply to the governors office
as well as to all Others
DR.. Brough said that it was cur
rently reported that the st. Francis
Levee Board and Little Rock polit-
ical ring had decided to vest all pat
ronage in a committee of five, in the
event of Hodges election.
He stated that the paramount is
sue of the campaign was "a govern
ment of the people, by the people,
and for the people, against gov
ernment of machines, by machines,
and for machines" He charged that
Mr.. Hodges, in recent speech at
Fordyce, had made the boast that al
though there were hundreds of men
in Arkansas more competent to fill
the office of governor than he, yet the
machine had decreed his election and
that they would put him over, and
that Hodges had frequently boasted
that he would bet any man in the
audience five dollar hat that he
would be the next governor of Arkan-
sas because of the backing of the
political machine. DR.. Brough said
that he would be delighted to meet
Hodges and Judge Smith on any
stump in Arkansas and that he would
gladly accord them an equal division
of time at any of his appointments,
provided they both were present.
DR.. Brough's address was frequent
ly punctuated by applause
Oscar H. Winn of Little Rock, can
didate for railroad commissioner of
the Northwestern District, also was
present and made an announcement.

NEGROES ARE PLEASED.
with INCREASED TAXES
J. r. ANDERSON SAYS CRIME
WOULD INCREASE IF
SCHOOL CLOSED.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
We are especially pleased to note
the attitude our patrons have taken
toward the call for an additional five
mill tax to operate the public school.
They have almost unanimously sign
ed the agreement to pay the addition
al five mills. In this matter, they
have shown to the world that they
are patriotic and progressive. The
closing of the negro school at this
time would have indeed been a sad
misfortune to the patrons. 1t would
have caused the per cent of crimes
among negroes to increase. The en-
rollment is POS. Average daily at
tendance $50. Notwithstanding the
overcrowded condition, efficient work
is being done. The school is so per
cent better this year than ever.
Every patron is working zealously
for the betterment of his child and
using every possible means to pro-
mote its educational welfare.
Respectfully,
J. R. Anderson, Principal.

NO COMMISSION
ON SPECIAL TAX

Before leaving Conway to begin his
tax collecting rounds, Sheriff w. W..
Bishop authorized the Log Cabin
Democrat to state that he would not
charge any commission for collect
ing the extra flve-mill tax proposed to
be paid voluntarily in Conway as a
means of relieving the financial diff
fcultles of the local school district.
If the full amount to be raised from
this source should be collected, the col
lector's commission would amount to
more than 500, but Mr.. Bishop said
that in addition to paying the extra
levy on his own property he will do
nate his services as collector to the
district.
The money collected from the extra
tax, it is understood, will be paid
to the board by the sheriff
and will be used by it in the opera
ton of the school until revenues from
the regular tax become available.

Zinc, lead and coal are mined, and
there are rich deposits of petroleum
and natural gas. All have contrib
uted in making this section the in
dustrial center Of the state. The land
is fertile, and the conditions are most
favorable for agricultural pursuits.
Eighteen local commercial clubs
are represented in the association,
which was organized in 1913. This
federation does for Southeast Kansas
what the chamber of commerce or
local club does for the city. It's first
big venture was the trade train, SIM
liar to the present special, which was
sent 1000 miles through the eastern
states in the spring of 1914.
The booster band will play for those
who visit the train. Everyone is in

contain much of interest. Souvenirs
will be distributed to every visitor.

COUNTY'S GINNING
RETURNS INCREASE
YIELD IS MUCH LARGER
THAN WAS EXPECTED AT BE-
GINNING OF PRESENT COT
TON SEASON.

With ginnings during the period
from December 13 to January l just
double what they were in the same
period of the preceding year, the lat
est report of the census bureau on
cotton ginning in Faulkner county
gives another boost to the estimated
yield in this county. The indications
row are that instead of being 40 to
so per cent short, the 1915 crop will
probably be little more than 20 per
cent less than that of 1914.
The bulletin giving the ginning by
counties to January /, 1916, shows
there had been ginned in Faulkner
county 1906 bales, as compared
with 22,3o9 bales to January /, 1915,
23,8OO to the same date in 1914, and
2O,2O1 to January /, 1913.
This represents a ginning during
the period from December 13 to Jan
uary l of 583 bales from the crop of
1915, against 291 from the crop of
1914 and 955 from the crop of 1913.
From January to end of the GIN
ming season the average number of
bales ginned in this county during the
past three years is 907. The number
was 73O in 1915, 1,506 in 1914, and
484 in 1913.
The report will bring the ginning
up to January 16 and will be publish
ed as total and by states on Janu-

of 1915 will be published March "a
