GREAT THING TO LIVE NOW
The Sage Of Wild Cat Corner Makes
Some Timely observations.

Editor Record:-We are having
rain and mud and doing little work,
50 that we have a good deal of time
to read and mediate. | certainly
think it is a glorious privilege to
live in this age of the world end ob,
serve the many stunts that are te-
ing pulled off al this. time. While
our president is in Europe promot.
ing democracy and humanity, max
Ing binding treaties and causing
royalty to tremble the while, big
things are going on even in AThan-
sas.
Our GREAT and most esteemed
governor is rolling up some big,
puffy stunts here. Heretofore Ark
ansas governors have been vetoine
measures passed by the legislature,
but Gov. Brough has human right
way Of doing things much better
and more surely. The last leeisla-
ture appropriated 100000 more
than the revenue resources OF the
state will provide, aud the legisla-
tors are accused Ct cowardice for
not increasing the tax rate to make
things tally. But | suppose that the
legislators understood Gov. Brough
and that Gov. Brough understood
the ruling lawmakers, so the COVER
nor withholds $50O,000 of this
amount, leaving the excess appro'
priations only 100000.
Many enterprises we're launched
by the last legislature. Fifty thou
sand dollars was appropriated fol
the Fayetteville agricultural exten'
sion work, and the governor with
held $4,000 of this amount, leav'
ing $4,000 for the work. Notwith'
standing this fact Gov. Broueh ap'
pointed commissioners to locate 6
qite for another farm and purchase
the same. ! am acquainted will

men. They perhaps own from on'
to five thousand acres Of land each

hundred negroes each. Good foI

THE NEW ROAD DISTRICT

Last weeks Hardy Herald gave
an account of meeting of the
commissioners Of the proposed roaC
district running through Lawrence
Sharp, Fulton and lizard counties al
Hardy. The law creating this dis
trict was made by the last legisla
ture, and a question has arisen az
to the validity Of the act. The
Herald says.
The commissioners do not
think that the error of the senate
clerk will invalidate the law in
any way, as he only failed.to re-
cord the concurrence of the house
and senate on the amendment
The bill signed by the governor
was regular and correct. The
commissioners have submitted
the matter to E. E. Goodwin, attor.
ney for the district, and others
Last weeks Melbourne Times
which paper is published In thu
home town OF Senator Goodwin
father Of the law creating tht
district and attorney for the dis
trict, said;
There seems to be but little
doubt now that the proposed
highway from Mt. Olive to some
point in Lawrence county will
not be huilt for the next two
years at least. An amendment
10 the measure creating the dis.
trict was not enrolled with the
bill, thereby invalidatine same, 1t
Is thought. However, interested
parties expect to investigate the
status Of the measure, with a
view Of putting the road through
should there be possible chance"
Last weeks Record stated tha
the bill creating the road distric
mentioned above ha'. probabl!
been invalidated, for the reasoI
that the senate and lower hous'
records did not agree on the pass
aee Of the act, The item carryipl
this information was originally sen
out from Little Rock, and has beef
published in great many newspa
pors throughout the state. How
ever the Record hopes that the com
missioners are correct In the opin
lon that the law Is not defectiv

Communities are just what peo-
pie make them; nothing more nor
nothing less We have seen that
fact proved beyond a donbt. Bad
conditions may prevail in a COM
munity and if they are permitted
to continue until they become we'll
nigh intolerable the people have
no one to blame but themselves.
On the other hand, bad conditions
may spring up in a community and
be squelched very quickly if the
people are alive to their own inter.
ests and the best interests of their
community. Towns and commun-
tiles may be either good or bad,
but you are not going to get away
from the fact that they are simply
what the people make them.
