Unconquered, it is the precursor of

fear and went and hanged himself. No

often the gateway to blessed visions;
it is the passport to sympathy, it gives

fear is corroding instinct, suffering

BIG THINGS DOlNG AT HOLLY GROVE.

I
town of Holly Grove ard it is
always a matter of pleasure for
me to do so for somehow or
other 7 like those people.
The town is different to the
general run of towns. 1t is
made up of old southern families
who are pioneers, so to speak.
The families have inter-marrled
until nearly the whole people
are kin to each other.
I've watched Holly Grove and
her people closely for the past
twenty five years. They are
that class of citizens who always
believe in clean morals and In
years past when the license ques-
ton was a matter of serious
moment to the people of the
courty, the vote of Holly Grove
always came on the dry side. y
But Holly Grove until few
years ago was a quiet burg and
her people were satisfied to let
the rest of the busy world tear
it's shirt in the game of progress
while their people enjoyed TIE
even tenure of their quiet ways.
and the REGULAR routine of the
old school, in agriculture, bust
ness, etc. Even when in the
turbulent course of Monroe coun-
ty political events a few years
ago when Holly Grove and Brink
ley were lined up together
politically against Clarendon,
and the north end offered to
make Holly Grove the county
site, they refused to have it.
Those were in days gone by
Holly Grove is now no longer
the quite, easy going town"
but is reaching out in more ways
than one. Among the many re-
cent unmistakable signs of pro-
gress is the big town lot sale
which was pulled off there last
week. They tell me that this
sale was a rousing affair. A
Holly Grove citizen. in telling
me of it, said: You should have
seen us. This is the way it was.
A stranger came to town, looked
all over the place and tried to
buy a plat of ground to divide
up and sell. No one would sell
to him and he'd packed his grip
and started for the depot to leaye
town. Just to see the stranger
go up in the air. one of the
Holly Grovites suggested that ne
might get 10 acres of land from
him at the sum of $500 per
acre-just three hundred dollars
per acre for farm land to convert
into town lots. We'll, I'll take
it" said the real estate man and
take it he did paying $4,000 for
ten acres. The real estate man
began at once to plat it off into
81 town lots and bought full
page ads in the county papers
(you read his big ad in the
ARGUs.) Some of the Holly
Grovites suggested that the
stranger had lemon, that he
was badly stung on his invest
ment, etc, but they tell me that
when the day for the sale came
that all of the Holly Groves bus
mess houses closed up and every
body attended the town lot sale
as conducted by the stranger
who paid $500 per acre for his 1C
acres of farm land. His name
was Haselden, his initials J. S.,
and he was from Kentucky, was
a clever. kindly fellow and play
ed a fair square game. He had
the nerve to buy enough print.

nice lots to many of the leading
business men of Holly Grove.

tanned very many concessions,
and is fast fixing her dominion

BoRAH WOULD AMEND
THE SENATE RULES
He Seeks to Abolish Executive
Sessions When Consider
ing Nominations

Washington The time is
coming, and before very long,
when the United States senate
will break away from another
of its old traditions, and will
amend its rules SO that treat
les and executive nominations
will be considered in open SEES
sion, instead of behind closed
doors. In the adoption of the
cloture rule, the senate demon
strated its willingness under
ijustifiable circumstances, to
break away from tradition,
and to launch forth along new
lines, and the sancitity of the
old senate customs having thus
been destroyed, other reforms
are likely to follow.
Just eight years ago, Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho made his
first motion for the considera-
ton of nominations and treat
les in open session and when he
pressed his motion to vote, just
four senators stood with him
Ever since he started to do a

Borah has pressed his motion

When the Nicaraguan treaty
was being considered he sought
to force it in the open senate
but then he could muster no
over IS votes, the opposition
being non-partisan and some o
the republicans of longest ser
vice opposed his idea.
When the senate, only a few
days ago, began a formal con
sideration of the Columbian
treaty-the same day it con
! firmed the nomination of Dr.
Cary Greyson-Senator Boral
again sought to have both tn

ticut, who, prior to that time
had been strong advocates Of
the consideration Of treaties
especially in executive session.
1t leaked out of the executive
session that the latest Borah
motion, aimed at executive SEES
sions, was defeated when Sena-
tor Stone Of Missouri shrewdly
contrived to make it a party is

that democrats could not, with
out embarrassment vote to sup
port Borah's proposal. But
there we're Il number of dem
ocratic senators who voted ag-
ainst the Borah proposal who
told him later that the next
time the senate faces this issue,

be given the proceeding, he
will win, and executive SEES

As far as nominations are
concerned it is not always pos
