Jelks Gets a Box

Central Committee, composed of J. H. Crossett of this city, R. H. Winfield of Augusta and J. R. Meehan of Cotton. Plant who were appointed to establish voting precinct at Bullville and to name the judges and clerks for the coming primary election have gone a step farther and without any instructions or authority whatever have also established a box at Jelks.
 The people of Bullville were required to file a petition with the Central Committee atits reg ular meeting atJelks signed by more than 40 voters asking for a box to be established there be- fore the Committee would act on the same. The request was made within the legal time of 30 days before the election and the same was granted.
 We can not understand why the subcommittee has seen fit to go beyond it's instructions and without any authority whatever and establish at this late hour, just on the eve of the election, a box at Jelks or any other place as to that. When we asked MT. Crossett this, Friday, morning who signed the petition asking for a box at Jelks, he stated that no petition was presented. We then asked him to please show us under what law, or authority the committee had acted in estab- fishing box at Jelks and the following from the little blue book of rules of the Democratic party in Arkansas is what he gave us:
 Sec. 54. The County Central Committee shall appoint three judges of election and two clerks for each precinct or voting place said judges and clerks shall have the qualifications of electors in the Democratic primary election, and the legal qualifications for judges and clerks of election. The judges and clerks shall be appointed, and the names be made known at least five days before the election, by posting the same at the voting precinct and by publication in some news paper in the county.
 In the above there is not one word regarding the establish ment of a voting precinct. We do not object to Jelks, or any other place, having box but there is a right and a wrong way to do things and we do think that the subcommittee has overstepped their duties and authority in this matter. Why did not Jelks ask for a box in the proper way and at the time the County Central Committee met there a few weeks ago?
 In establishing a box at Bull- vile the subcommittee acted ac- cording to instructions from the Central Committee, but there were no such instructions con- corning a box at Jelks or any other place. It seems that the committee has acted solely upon the advice or instructions of only one person.
