THE LONGSHORE MEETING.

We have been having little some
thing to Say of the various campaign
meetings, not in the nature Of report
Of the speeches because when the
speeches are once reported to report
them again would be a repetition. We
could not get to the Longshore meet
ing until the afternoon, but the at
tendance was good and all the people
and the candidates we're in good hu-
mor and good will prevailed. A good
dinner was served and all the speak
ing candidates were able to get off
their say We noticed that in some
way the platform had broken in, but
that occurred before we arrived and
therefore we are not able to say who
caused the break.
We drove out in the afternoon in
I'll and it was running as pretty as it
ever did but when we started to re-
turn it refused to move and with all
the kind assistance of the amateur
mechanicians we were unable to get
it to vibrate, so we phoned to town
and "Bubba' Smith and George from
Summers garage were, soon there,
but we left them working and came
on to town through the kindness o.
Prof. Ernest Anderson. They say
they finally made it Vibrate, but be-
fore reaching town something else
went wrong and the thing has been in
the shop since.
On Friday all the candidates and
everybody else went to Little Noun
tain to the college reunion. And there
were so many people there you could
not see any one. 1t was the largest
crowd we have ever seen at a reunion.
The C. N. and l.. railroad arranged
to handle the crowd from Newberry
and did it in better shape than they
have ever been able to do it. We
heard no kicks. 1t was a good old
summer day

NEWS OF UNION ACADEMY.

Prosperity, Aug. 9.-The Sunday
School convention of this (No. 1C)
Township was held at Bachman
Chapel on last Saturday and the
programme was carried out as was
announced recently.
Only a portion of the speakers
were present but all of the subjects
were ably discussed.
These conventions are great help
as they deal with many puzzling ques-
tons along Sunday school work.
A resolution of thanks was adopted
for the kind hospitality of the people
of Bachman Chapel during this con-
vention.
The following officers wire elected
for next year:
President, Mr.. J. A. C. KiDler, Vice
President, Mr.. T. j. Wilson; Secretary,
Mr.. JEFF Metts.
Farmers are making another effort
to finish plowing the crops. Looks
now like that we may have some nice
weather.
Some one recently made the re-
mark that grass and automobiles is
taking the county. We'll it has reach
ed the point that any one travelling on
one of the main Auto roads in
buggy stands very small chance Of
staying in the road as he is continual
ly on the dodge, and if you don't get
out of the way in plenty Of time
some of those high minded drivers
may run into you
1t should be remembered that i
man dosen't own "car" his feelings
should be respected just little any
way.

;CHAPPELLS.
summer day

The next camplaign was held at
Chappells. This time the meeting was
held at the town. The attendance
was good. A platform for the speak
ers had been arranged and while it
was little warm the people gave
good attention and seemed interested.
We made this trip on the train. And
a large number went from Newberry.
In the afternoon our brother, L. B.
Aull, drove over from home and we
went over to the old home and spent
an hour with the old folks. We found
Ed Werts and Mrs. Matthews there
asd Ed was busy robbing the bees
and making apple cider and we did not
get to talk with the old folks but we
had the pleasure of seeing them and
knowing that they were well and
seemed to be enjoying good health.
That is a great blessing.
TIE road from Chappells to Dyson
is as good as we have ever known it
to be. There are few places that
should have attention and one little
bridge on the Newberry side that is in
bad shape Supervisor Sample had
this road worked and wi6ened during
the early summer and some good
bridges built and it is standing up
well under the heavy rains of the past
few weeks. The wagon bridge across
Saluda river needs attention and
particularly the wood part across the
river. This is kept up by the rail-
road and we would suggest to tha
supervisor that he call the attention
OF the railroad people to its condition
so that it may be repaired before i.
gives way.
Chappells community is one Of the
finest sections of the county. The
lands are good and easily cultivated
and as rule the people i~e pros
porous. They have one of the best
and most up to date school buildings
in the State for the size of the school.
And they had the past session a most
excellent school.
1t is a good business centre. We
found here our old friend the Rev. 6.
r. Pettrigrew, who When we knew
him was an ordinary country news
paper man. Now he is the popular
pastor of the Baptist church at
Chappells and the people esteem him
very highly.
There was barbecue at Fairview
on "Wednesday which we had intend
ed to attend) but some business en-
gagements precluded that pleasure.

Mr.. Voter, you see from the above
letter from Mr.. Holloway that Mr.. H.

the deficiency of the funds for 1915,
and to be fair to me I think Mr..
Boczer should have given this infor-
nation with the figures ne has been
giving out. can not get around to
all Of the voters before the election, is
why / am sending this out through
the, papers. If you hear any rumors
Of a hurtful nature in regard
to the expenditure of the funds of
NeWberry county / will consider it a
favor if you will call to see Mr.. G5ollo-
way and ask him to show you the
records. He will take pleasure in
showing them to you and you will find
that the rumor that was in circula-
ton is untrue.
l presume from the criticism of my
opponent in regard to the expendi-
lures of the funds of Newberry coun-
ty, if he should succeed me the roads
and bridges will be neglected, as, Mr..
Voter, you know roads can't be work
ed and bridges can't be built without
the expenditure of the funds htave
spent the money appropriated for this
purpose and have no apologies to
make, as I have complied with the
law. When you hear any one say
that l have run the county in. debs,
ask him what l spent the money for,

roadways they are entitled to have.
l have not put the county in debt.
The legislative delegation from New
berry has put it in debt by not pro-
viding to raise enough money to meet
the necessary expenses of the county,
not to speak Of the appropriations
which this same delegation made
and by making admits that they have
not provided for the raising of sufi-
cient funds to meet the absolutely
necessary expenses of running the
county. If any one doubts this statea
ment I ask him to consult the count
attorney, Mr. H. C. Holloway, and thes
records of the Office.
A 1-2 mills levy brings in about
$32, 100000. The appropriation bill
carries $45,,5O0OG. This leaves de-
fcit of about $13,5O0.00

road and bridge money I can get hold

Record for Tax-Dodging.

W. Hodges, candidate for gov
ernor, spoke at the courthouse

the circuit court room. He spoke
principally along lines of his
printed speech, saying he had

ter Arkansas. He explained to

his refusal to allow the investi-
eating committee to investigate

adoption of a rural credits bill
and establishment Of central
marketing system for Arkansas
farmers, liberal support for

UNEQUAL TAXATION
SHOWN IN REPORT
Figures Compiled by State Tax
Commission Indicate Large
Variation in Assessments.

That there is a fertile field
in Arkansas for work Of Equal
ization Boards, and that many
counties are paying less than
their share of state taxes, IS
shown in reports to the State
Tax Commission.
In the 72 counties that have
reported to the state board,
there is shown a decrease inthe
total tax assessments for 1915
of So, $50, 759 under that of the
previous year.
Property is assessed higher
in Perry county than in any
other count in the state, the
avearge assessment in that
county being 1872 per cent of
actual value.
Benton county property is
assessed lower than that of any
other county in the state, the
basis of assessments in that
county being only II per cent.
Sebastian took the biggest
downward jump of any of the
counties. That county in 1914
was assessed on a basis of 80. 6
cents on the dollar, but in 1915
81, 544,9 39 was sliced from the
total assessments.
independence assesses on
an average of 38 $40 per cent,
according to the report, and as
.sessments IN this county show
"a decrease Of $142, 965.
Every county in this section
of the state shows a decrease
IN assessments, The following
table shows the amount of de-
crease and the assessment ba-
sis.

WHITE RIVER SERVICE
STILL DISCOUNTED
Service on Each End of Line
But Through Traffic Delay
ed Another Week.

Train service on the White
River road is still demoralized
as result Of the recent floods,
and it is not thought that
through service can be resumed
for at least a week yet.
Trains are operating on this
end of the line as far up as
Guion. Trains are operating on
the north end of the line, and
can now run for some distance
this side of Cotter, but there is
yet about IL miles of track to
repair and six or seven bridges
to rebuild before through SER
vice can be resumed.
The company has a large
force of men at work repairing
the damage as rapidly as pos
sible. 1t is said that it will cost
the railroad company at least
a quarter of 9 million dollars to
repair the damages on the
White River road.

SMALL BOY is
ACCIDENTALLY HURT

The little sonofRease Bolind,
who resides near SulphurRock,
sustained a dangerous wound
on the head one day this week,
when he was accidentally struck
with an axe in the hands of an
other. The party was using the
axe to cut wood when the child
ran from behind and allowed
his head to come contact with
the blade of the axe, Just as the
blow was descending.
The child was given medical
attention, and though it was
feared for a time the injury
would prove fatal, he is report
ed to be recovering nicely.

made to the people in thatcaml
paign.
His standing and influence
is shown by the fact that while
a member of the legislature he
served on a number of the
most important committees
among them beingthe Judiciary
Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, Committee on
Charitable Institutions, Com
mittee on Railroads and other
important committees to which
practically all the important
bills are referred.
He was the author of the
Moore-Heartsel anti-future bill
to prevent gambling in cotton,
grain and other agricultural
products. The professional
bueket-shop gamblers made
one Of the hardest fights on this
bill that was ever made against
any measure before the Arkan-
.sas legislature, but he succeed
ed in securing its passage and
thereby rid Arkansas of this
very immoral and expensive
evil. He was also instrumental
i'm the passage of a number of
other good and wholesome
laws.
Having been actively engag-
ed in the practice of law for
many years, and being closely
identified with the best inter-
ests Of the people, qualities
him IN every way to make the
people an able and efficient re-
preventative.
Mr.. Moore states that he will
be unable to make a house-to-
house canvass of the county.
but will join in the Joint cam
Ipaign where he will place be-
fore the people the platform
and principles upon which he
proposes to stand.
