FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION A SUCCESS

The American Legion Boys
who were in charge of the big
picnic celebration here certainly
deserve praise for the success
ful manner in which they con-
Quoted the affair, which was at
tended by the largest crowd ev-
Ell gathered in Judsonia.
The Legion had made provis-
ion tor the comfort of their Wis
itors by providing unlimited
quantity of ice water, rest rooms
fer the ladies and children, and
many benches in the shady park
where people could rest and en-
joy seeing friends and strangers
pass.
The usual line of stands, games
an old tyne merry go round,
powered by mule were in the
park and all received a strong
play.
The principal speakr of the
day, Hon. w. A. Hodges, candi-
date for Congress, spoke for
nearly an hour to very attentive
audience. He was followed by
Hon. j. A. Choate, candidate
for State Senator, who told sew
eral humorous stories and ex-
planned that he was the Moses
who would lead the people out of
the wilderness. He was follow
ed by Rev. Geo. w. Hardin, of
Morrilton, representing the
Christian College of that place
who told of the effort being
made to aid the rising genera
ton to obtain an education.
The address most enjoyed by
the large audience was given by
Mr.. L. l. Fletcher, superinten-
dent of the construction work
at Camp Livingston.
The ball game in the after
noon between Judsonia and Bee
be drew a large crowd. The game
was won by Judsonia by a score
of A to 2.
Large delegations Of visitors
were present from Bald Knob,
Searcy, Russell, McRae, Beebe,
Bradford and other points on
the pike, who came in cars, wag-
ons, trucks and other conveyan-
ceS.

of State and avowed candidate
for governor in 1924.

"Uncle joe Ferguson, who is
running for reelection, as State
treasurer, Is opposed by Ben
Allen OF Perry county and Judge
Walls Of Lonoke county.
There are contests for Rail
road Commissioner in each of
the three districts.
Associate Justice Hart is I'M
opposed for another term. All
OF the candidates are making an
active canvas of the state. Some
OF them have already visited ev-
cry county and are sowing the
state Knee deep in literature.
Less attention is being gwen
to speaking than usual, but the
campaign is largely OF the pussy
loot type.
What is lacking in state poll
Tics is more than compensated
by the activity in county ana
district politics. In many of the
counties there are larger num-
bers of candidates than ever be-
tore, indicating that the average
aspirant for office believes that
the larger the field, the better
his chances for success. For in
stance in the 18th Judicial Cir
cult there are 7 candidates for
Circuit Judge; two from Hot
Springs county, 2 from Grand
and 3 IRON Saline.
Saline county has four candi-
dates Tor county judge, eight
for sheriff, four fol- county treas
urer and six for assessor. The
medal should probably go to La
fayette county where there are
II candidates in the race for
sheriff. Randolph county is a
strong contender for the honor
of being the champion political
county OF the state with seven
candidates for county judge,7
toI county clerk, three for treas
urer, four for sheriff and four
for circuit clerk. There are 8
candidates for sheriff in Little
River county and six in Hot
Springs county with other offic-
es we'll represented. The homo.
of handling the funds of Craig
head county appeals strongly to
ten willing citizens who seek the
nomination for county treasur-
er.

STATE POLITICS Is
NOW WARMING UP
the Democratic state

With the Democratic STATE
nrinalies only five weeks off
he interest is becoming tense
y, certain state contests. 1t has
token a long time for the public
70 warm up to the political stu
alton this year. Ordinarily it
would be an off year since there
l. no contest for U. S. Senate
and ordinarily there would have
been no opposition to the COVER
nor for second term. There is
less interest in the contest than
has been manifested iii several
years, as the people generally
| are not SO greatly concerned a.
bout their state officials as they
are about local officers and the
more important question of do
nestle finances.
Judge E. P. Toney who is seek
jng the gubernatorial nomina-
ton has encountered Governor
j McRae in one joint speaking at
| Sloan Springs and those who
Witnessed the affray agree that
it was a decidedly interesting
exchange of verbal compliments.
Since that time, Judge Toney
has published a challenge invit-
ing the governor to meet him in
Joint debate at a series of meet
ings during the next two weeks.
The governor has not made pub
lie his reply.
In point of interest, it is prob
able that the next race which is
attracting attention is tht for
State Superintendent Of Public
Instruction. Ordinarily this Of
flee is not involved in political
turmoil and this is the first
time in several years that there
has been acrimonious contest
for the place. j. L. Bond is retir-
ing from the office and A. &.
Hill, who has for some years
been connected with the de>art-
ment, is opposed by J. G.. Cub
age Of Ell Dorado, formerly OF
the State Normal Faculty. Mr.
Cubage is attempting to force
the issue on Amendment No. Ia
Which proposes to make radical
changes in the system of school
taxation. Mr.. Hill calls attention
to the fact that this is not an
Issue until the general election
IN October. The race promises
IN fact to overshadow all others
IN the point of interest.
Another contest that is at
tractlng attention is that for
commissioner of Mines, Manu-
acture and Agriculture. Jim G..
erguson, incumbent, is asking
or reelection and he is opposed
y Sam D. Crawford of Ell Dora
Q and Tom B. Pierce of Ash

Fairchild lifted his bag from the
rear of the vehicle, waved a farewell
to the driver and started into the VIII

departed, momentarily, to give place
to other thoughts, other pictures, Of a
day long gone.
The sun was slanting low, throwing
deep shadows from the hills into the
little valley with its chattering, milk
white stream, softening the scars Of
the mountains with their great refuse
dumps; reminders Of hopes Of twenty
years before and as bare of vegeta-
ton as in the days when the pick and
CAD and drill of the prospector tore
the rock loose from its hiding place
under the surface Of the ground. The
scrub pines of the almost barren
mountains took on a fiuffier, softer
tone; the jutting rocks melted away
into their own shadows; it was a pic
ture of peace and of memories.
