TONIGHT! CLEAN YOUR BOW ELS AND STOP HEADACHE,
 COLDS, SOUR STOMACH. Get a 10-cent box now.

Turn the rascals out-the headache, biliousness, indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and bad colds-turn them out tonight and keep them out with Cas- carets.
 Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by lazy liver, clogged bowels, or an upset stomach.
 Don't put in another day of dis tress. Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach; re move the sour, ferment- ing food; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the con- stipated waste matter and poison Tn the bowels. Then you will feel great.
 A Cascaret tonight straightens you out by morning. They work while you sleep A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head, sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Children love Cascarets because they never gripe or sicken.

HIS WITHDRAWAL VIGOROUSLY DENIED
HIGGINS STILL IN RACE
THOS. c. M'RAE CONSIDERING RE-ENTERING RACE FOR
 GOVERNOR
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
 Unsubtantiated reports published in the Little Rock papers to the effect that his withdrawal from the race for secretary of state was probable were vigorously and emphatically de- nied by J. B. Higgins of Conway to the Log Cabin Democrat today. Il have not said nor have I authorized anyone to say that I have any idea of withdrawing" MT. Higgins de- clared. Every indication points to my nomination by a substantial ma jority. While 1 have been prevented by the serious illness of my father and by an attack of grip from which I have been suffering from prosecut- ing my campaign as vigorously as had expected to do, l am we'll satlsfi- ed with my prospects for election and do not feel that my political interests have suffered by my enforced confine- ment at home."
 Mir. Higgins Conway friends were very much surprised at the published reports of his probable withdrawal, and feel that whoever is responsible for the rumor has taken a very un- fair means ot attempting to lnJure him in his campaign.
 Another new turn was taken ln state political circles yesterday when Thomas c. McRae of Prescott yester- day issued a statement at Prescott, which indicated he may re-enter the race for the nomination for governor MT. McRae said that after an all day conference with friends at Pres colt yesterday, during which he con- ferred over long distance telephone with others over the state who could not attend, he is considering the mat , ter and that if the demand is strong enough he will lay aside his personal wishes and run.
 His statement follows:
 "To the. Democrats of Arkansas:
 After an all-day conference with friends here and from practically every part of Arkansas and having received many telegrams and letters urging me to re-enter the race fol governor, I desire to say that l an giving the matter careful considera tion
 of the demand of my friends is strong enough to convince me that il is my duty to re-enter the race,

So long as l am in office, when merit, justice and mercy demand, I intend to exercise the pardoning power and the Doctor nor anyone else imported into the state can deter me from doing so, not with view to advancing the political interests of anyone, but in the inter- est of humanity Il have never been an impostor and would not be for all the offices within the gift of the people. Can the Doctor say this honestly with his Yankee ancestry?'

TRY THIS! YOUR HAIR GETS NAVY, GLOSSY AND ABUND-
 ANT AT ONCE.

To be possessed of a head of heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy, wavv and free from dandruff is mere lv a matter of using little Dander- inc.
 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice. soft hair and lots of it. Just get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton s Danderine now-all drug stores rec ommend it-apply little as directed and within ten minutes there will be an appearance of abundance, fresh ness, huffiness and an incomparable gloss and lustre, and try as you will you can not find a trace of dandruft or falling hair; but your real sur prise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see new hair-fine and downy at frst-yes-but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp-Danderine is, we believe, the only sure hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp and it never fails to stop falling hair at once.
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten "a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at time Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just a few moments-a delightful surprise awaits everyone who tries this.

HAYS TO ANSWER
 BR0UCH'S ATTACK IN SPEECH AT CONWAY
GOVERNOR WILL TAKE STUMP TO ESPOUSE CAUSE OF SEC
 RETARY HODGES.

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-The most ial campaign is the announcement made today by Governor Hays that he will take the stump for MT. Hodges, ac- companied by a spirited reply to at tacks made upon the governor by Dr. Brough. At Conway Monday Dr.. Brough said he was a candidate for governor ito fill the vacancy now ex- isting in the office," and denounced his pardoning record and the appoint ment of relatives. The governor said:
 My purpose in supporting Mir. Hodges against Dr. Brough is to save the state from bankruptcy. A very prominent machine politician and of flee holder is now in the. state lining up every interest he can on earth for Dr. Brough. This gentleman has pos sibly appointed more relatives and neighbors to lucrative positions than any other man who has ever held of flee. The Doctor, according to his own statement, tried nearly three years ago to make an alliance with the same machine of which he com plains.
 Arkansas is the state of my nativ- ity and I have contributed in every way 1 could to the welfare of the state, never having lodged the pay ment of any taxes. The Doctor has been in Arkansas about 12 years. Can he say this even for the time he has been here? Go to the records of Washington county and ascertain for yourselves the number of years he lodged the payment of even a poll tax, which goes to the common school fund, when at the same time he was drawing a large salary paid by the real taxpayers. He speaks of polit- teal rings: of this I will furnish the peopl eof the state information later.
 "I have not interfered in this cam paign further than to speak to some of my friends in the interest of Mir. Hodges; but, since the Doctor seems determined to drag me into the cam paign, I will give the people later the benefit of what 1 think will be to their interest in preserving the credit of the state, and protecting those who

 The voluntary levy of an additional five mills tax for the Conway school, agreed upon at mass meeting Jan- uary 8, is meeting with practically no opposition among the taxpayers, President D. o. Harton of the school board stated today. Agreements to pay the amount with other taxes are being circulated by a committee com posed of Former Sheriff J. s. John son, J. M. Adams and T. c. Harmed, who report that practically everyone solicited signs the agreement. MT. Harton stated that committee would be appointed to canvass the negro property owners and that he and B. T. Deal, another member of the school board, would complete canvass of the business district. The agree ments provide that the tax shall not be paid unless three-fourths of the full amount a five-mill levy would net is collected, and members of the school board feel that there will be no difficulty in securing this amount, although it will require the name of almost every resident property-own- CT, as it will be impossible to collect the tax from numerous nonresident taxpayers and non-residena corpora tiOnS
