ovr DOLLAR A YEAR In ADVANCE

To this paper the real surprise Oh
the recent primary election was the
defeat that befell Earle W. Hodges
candidate for governor. we Ger
tainly thought the governors race
a contest between Hodges and
Broueh and imagined a close race
between these two, never thinking
that Judge Smith would prove Sec
ond in strength. This only proves
aaain how little we actually know
about state politics. A great ma,
jority of people in this section Of
Arkansas would have enjoyed see
in 70 Ices elevated to the governors
chair and sincerely regret his de-
feat. Brough is the choice OF the
people of the state, and those VINO
did not vote for him in the prl-
mary join his friends in hoping
that he may prove the best COVER
nor the state has had in years.

their children.

There is not a sore spot any
where on the Records anatomy
over the result of the primary ell
ection. This paper did not vote for
the successful candidate in every
instance by any means, but that is
neither here nor there. The people
have attended to their own busl-
ness in exercising their rights at
the ballot box, and a majority OF
the people should rule on public
questions and choose between pub
lie men.
The defeated candidates are all
back from their trip up Salt Creek,
and none are the worse for wear.
The political excitement has all
subsidized for a couple of years at
least, and people generally are now
thinking about crops and other
matters of more Importance to
them than politics. So mote it
be.
The Calico Rock Progress be-
lieves that the man who will eat
onions ought to be dealt with by
the criminal law. And there are
other good people who believe that
the man who doesn't like onions
ought to be treated for insanity.

A movement is on foot in lnde-
pendence county to consolidate
several school districts into one
and to establish a rural high school
\ for the benefit Of all. There are no
doubt districts in Sharp county that
|could consolidate with much profit

districts are limiting the funds un-
'til some districts can barely sup
port short term of school. We
certainly think it time that some

A contest arose before the COM
mittee over the nomination of a roaC
overseer n Richwoods township
There were three candidates fol-
that office who had their names
printed on the ballots, among whom
was John Orr. Another candidate
Roscoe Mullins, had his name print
ed on the ballot with a rubber
stamp The returns showed that
Mullins was nominated by a few
votes over Orr but Orr contended
that there were at least twenty-five
irregular ballots cast in the election;
that these parties had overlooked
the name of Mullins and voted for
|
one of the others, and that these
we're not counted for any candidate.
1t was the claim of Orr that he
would be nominated if he could Oct
the votes that were evidently in
tended to be cast for him in these
irregular ballots, and he asked that
the committee 60 through these
ballots and give him the votes where
his name was left on the ticket with
Mullins or refer the matter to an
other election. Mr.. Mullins asked
that the committee 90 through all
the ballots and ratify the action Of
the election judges in Richwoods
township or reject their action il
they found it incorrect, Atty, I, |
Herrn represented Orr and Atty
W. 7. Gray represented Mullins, The
committee decided to refer h {
matter to the democratic voters oI
Richwoods township in a specia
election to be held the first Satur

The chairman appointed a com

The statement comes from Poca-
hontas that Tom Campbell says ne
will be in the race for congress two
wears hence. Of course this is a
free country, and it is nobody's
business if a man runs for an ONCE
until he is gray-headed, but we sub
NIT that it would discourage most
men to 90 up against three straight
defeats for the same district office,
and most men would take several
looks before they leaped in that di-
rection again. The trouble with
Campbell, as we see it, is that ne
has too many votes two or three
weeks before the primary and en-
tirely too few votes on the day OF
the primary.

Sells Ancient Bale Of Cotton.


Friady morning last. Mr.. j. M.
Grimes made sale Of bale, OF cot
ton for 15 cents per pound. Around
the sale Of this bale of cotton hangs
tale Of remarkable interest.
Nine years ago this bale Of cotton
was harvested and owned by Mr.. J.
F. Jones, uncle of Mr.. Grimes. Mr..
Jones resolved to hold it for IL cents.
He subsequently stored the bale of
fieecy staple in an outbuilding, and
let 1t stay there. Mr.. Jones died sew
eral years ago, but before his death
he requested Mr.. Grimes to see to 1t
that his bale of cotton was not sold
until the price reached Is cents. &
Mr.. Grimes kept the trust that was
rcposed in him. Friday morning, for
the first time since the bale was piok-
ed, the price of cotton reached the
coveted Is cents. and Mr.. Grimes
hauled 1t to town and sold 1t at that
figure. 1t weighed $50 pounds, and
was found to be In excellent condi.
ton. 1t is interesting to note that
soon after the bale was picked out
Mr.. Jones was offered IA ga cents
for the cOttOn.-Bamberg Herald.
