any way by which We can tell that
they will run except by Washing.


Therefore we urge our patrons to
purchase as many white goods as pos
sible until such time as our manu-
facturers here in the United States
can produce fast colors, and by so
doing, help this great country OF ours
out OF the deplorable condition in
which we now stand as regards the
dye industry.
It's a sensible warning. And for
tunately the season approaches when
nothing is more comfortable and ap-
propriate than white clothing. 1t is
cooler than colored fabrics, and
about as economical, because it is
easier to wash and care for. 1t is
more hygenic because it can be boil
ed and hung in the sun. And after
a white season or two, when the new
dyes made-in-America are ready,
they will be all the more agreeable
by contrast.

go TO WHITE"
{ augusta Chronicle)

A reader of this paper has sent in
to the Office printed slip such as
is enclosed in every laundry package
sent oat by city laundry in the East
urging its customers to use white
clothing. The appeal is headed Go
TO White" and reads as follows
To-day those industries depend
ing on dyes are practically at
standstill Most, if not all, OF the
dyes used come from abroad, and
owing TO the terrible conflict going
on in Europe the importations of
foreign dyes have entirely ceased.
The stock on hand is practically ex-
hausted and the manufacturers of
colorcd goods are forced to use in
ferior dyes. At the present time,
there are practically no fast colors
manufactured in the United States,
Notwithstanding all newspaper re-
ports to the contrary.
GAS a result of this condition,
while the European war lasts and
for some time after its close, we must
expect to have colors that will run
when washed.
The United States government is
now conducting exhaustive expert
ments in the manufacture of fast col
ors, as are also the few manufacture
ers Of dyestuffs in this country.
There is no known method where
by we can wash these fugitive col
ors so they will not run, nor is there

KIRBY WILL
Be U. 5. SENATOR
Is Named By State Central
Committee To Fill Unex-

Last Friday the democratic state
central committee met in Little
Rock and named judge William F.
Kirby as the democratic nominee
for United States Senator to fill the
four-year unexpired term Of James
P. Clarke, who died last week. lm-
mediately after this nomination
had been made Gov. Hays issued a
proclamation naming November 7,
general election day, as the date
for a special election to elect a sen.
ator.
Three candidates were placed in
nomination before the committee,
Judge Kirby, Stephen Brundidge Of
Searcy and G. c. Reid, former cong
ressman from the Fifth district.
Judge Kirby won on the first ballot
receiving Is votes. Brundridee re-
ceived 7 votes and Reid s.
After he had been nominated
Judge Kirby announced that he
would resign as associate justice of
the supreme court and that he ex-

United States Senator.

william F. Kirby was born In
Miller county in 1867, and was edu-
Gated in the schools Of that county
He was licensed to practice law In
1885. lie was a member Of the
legislature from Miller county from
1893 TO 1897, and member Of the
state senate from 1890 to 1903 In
1904 he compiled for the state d.

in compiling a new digest author
lied by the last legislature to be
completed early next year. He
was an unsuccessful candidate for
governor when Geo. W. Donaehey
was nominated for his first term,
He was attorney general In 1907
and 1908, and in 1910 was elected
to the supreme court bench for a
term Of eight years. In the pri-
mary of 1914 judge Kirby was u
candidate against the late Senator
James P. Clarke in one Of the
warmest races that ever occurred
in the state. Senator Clarke was
declared renominated by less than
800 votes, after fierce struggle be-
fore the state central committee, in
which the charge Of fraud was often
made. It has since been under
stood that Judge Kirby would aeain
seek the senatorship.

roads.
Frankly, we like the Alexander
law the better Of the two, and as
means of building good roads the
ADVANTAGE is very largely on the
side of the Alexander law. If you
will figure on the amount Of tax
that is collected in Sharp county
annually from levy of three mills,
multiply that amount by the mum.
Der of years the road bonds would
likely run, figure out the annual
interest and payment on the prin-
cipal, you will probably discover
that not enough money can be bor-
rowed in Sharp county under the
amendment to build good roads in
the county. Under the amendment
an issue of bonds covers the coun-
ty, and it is going to require much
more than a tax of three mills to
make the good roads that are need
ing to be made. The Alexander
law confines itself to specified
territory and provides the means
for making the road. The Alexan-
der law calls for greater expendi-
ture Of money, but in the end it is
the cheapest because through that
law the desired results can be ac-
complished. Under the amend
ment the money would be used as
quickly as under the Alexander
law and without the good results,
because the territory is too great
for the amount Of money to be ex-
pended. Under the amendment
when the money raised by the
bonds is expended and good roads
are not made, nothing more of a
public nature can be done, except
to spend the remainder of the years
the bonds have to run in paying off
the interest and principal, for the
reason that the funds secured
through the bond issue have been
exhausted and an annual tax is
prohibited while the bond issue is
in force.
Amendment No. Ia probably is a
desirable thing in those counties
which have large property valua-
tions and which do not have to be.
gin at the very bottom IN road
making. On that theory the editor
of the Record will vote for the
adoption Of the amendment. But
we would not vote to put the
amendment into effect In Sharp
county.

However, the county court has no
