TO THE PUBLIc;

In another place in this paper am publishing a statement by the County Clerk, as reflected by the Clerks and 'Treasurers books of the various Road Districts in the county. From care ful study of this report you will see that we are going to be badly handi- capped on account of the enormous in- debtedness that we will have to meet in addition to trying to keep the roads in passable condition. Therefore let me admonish you to be patient with your Road Overseers, as I am not go- ing to allow them to continue to run their districts in debt. I also wish to call your attention to the financial condition of the county. On Sept. 13, 1922, the Clerks Financial Report shows that the outstanding Warrants over Cash in Treasury at that time was TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED SIX DOLLARS. Add to this the allowances of the last three months prior to January 1st, 1923, as published by the Clerk in the Little River News EIGHTEEN THOUSAND HEIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS with a lot more yet to be allowed, and you will readily see that when I took over the office of County Judge, took over with it an indebtedness of over FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. This has got Ito be paid, and ask you to be patient iand cooperate with me.
 Yours very truly,
 w. D. Waldrop, County Judge

A Hometown Man.

w. l.. Perkins and son, of Ashdown were here this week, buying lumber They will probably make frequent trips to this city for that purpose. One of MT. Perkins strong points is loyalty tp his home town, and woe to the 'stfans-sk within it's gates who casts any aspersions upon the fair name of Ashdown. We remember how this loy- alty Was demonstrated once, ye edi- tor drawing down upon his head the ire of MT. Perkins by a facetious re- mark concerning the size of the metro polls of Little River county. The mem bers of the Arkaasas Press Associa- tion and the Arkansas Realty Dealers were in Ashdown, el route to the dia- mond mines in Pike county. Just as 2 the train was about t pull out of Ash down for Murfreesboo. MT. Perkins drove up in his car ald invited some of the excursionists to go with him for look at his town. Those invited demurred, on the ground hat the train was about to leave. Thinning to help MT. Perkins, We urged: "Ay g'on and look at the mans town; it won't take you but a minute" Did MT. Perkins appreciate our assistance? He did not! He simply blew up, and re have never heard as unpretty language, be- fore nor since, as he used thel and Springs Vim.

We are going to have still another chance to locate the oil pool in this county. It is to the advantage of the entire county as we'll as to all other test wells in the section for as many wells to go down as possible. A failure of one only proves one thing, that the pool is in some other place Fields are generally developed by elimination until at last pay oil comes to the surface Oil men are not dis couraged by one failure They be- Iieve that this section will be on the oil map of Arkansas sooner or later, and that every test that starts down makes the time all the sooner. It is just plain business with them. This last deal was gotten up and closed quickly. It was a case of each party meaning business.

ARKANSAS Srl0a IN
 BATTLE; !M MOUSE
Mr. Wingo eSi1es and Shakes Repre- sentative Jones Of Texas Finally
 Is Pulled Off.

| IS oHs Washington, D. C., Feb. 17.-A fistic 4bout on the floor of the House of Representative between Representa- tive Wingo of Arkansas and Repre- sentative Jones of Texas, both Demo- crats, threw the House into an uproar today, in which there were shouts for the sergeant-at-arms, mingled with Let 'em fight"
 MT. Wingo took exception to a re- mark of MT. Jones construing it as an implication that he was acting in bad faith and was the aggressor in the 'scrimmage.
 AS ranking Democratic member of the Banking and Currency Committee, MT. Wingo had the duty of apportion- ing time to Democrats to speak on the pending bill, measure changing the farm land banking system. Jones rose to a point of order, declaring that: The gentleman from Arkansas made a statement that he was opposed to the bill unless an amendment was agreed to-"
 T don't believe" he continued, the gentleman has right to control the time by simply going under the guise of being opposed to the bill.'
 I am not going under any guise," " hotly retol ted Wingo, the gentleman cannot make such statements about me"
 House in an UprOar.
 He strode angrily down the aisle, seizing Jones by the collar and began shaking him. Immediately the House was in an uproar. A dozen members rushed, to the point of disturbance, but ,NConnally of Texas, Stafford of Wis consin and two others rushed between the combatants and pulled Wingo, struggling violently, over an end seat.
 Send for the sergeant-at-arms, !" yelled Hicks of New York, and a dozen others took up the chorus.
 Let 'em fight" screeched a Repub- lican, on the theory that no one would be injured but Democl ats. This call, too, had many seconds, while the voice of Representative Clark of New York was heard over the bedlam, beseech- ing: "In the words of General Grant, Let us have peace.
 Meanwhile, MT. Wingo made sever al lunge, and struck body blows at MT. Jones before he finally was pulled out of reach. Mir. Jones, much smaller man, took his seat.
 The Arkansan, after the atmos- phcre had cooled, handed his papers to a colleague, walked down the aisle past MT. Jones and whispered to the chairman a request to turn his time over to somebody else, after which he left the chamber.
 MT. Jones then said: q do not know in just what form my language was couched. I had not intended re- flection on the motives of any one, and if l used such language I desire to have the language withdrawn."
 This was agreed to and the record contains none of the language.
 Representa- Wingo returned to the chamber later and expressed re- gret at his display of temper. De- claring he interpreted MT. Jones res- marks as an attack on his integrity MT. Wingo sad he had since learned that the Texas representative had dis claimed such purpose. He apologiz. :. ed TOT any inf action of the House rules.

Norman Guthrie. pastor OF ST.
Mark s-in-the-B e-Bouwerie, and his
poard OF vestrymen were called be-
ore Bishop William T. Manning OF
he Protestant Episcopal diocese OF
Hew York today TO explain reports of
iances and festivals In the downtown
hurch and parish house. These re-
ports have shocked and scandal
sed," Bishop Manning said.
The dances, most OF them OF the
;reek classic variety, have been
given by young woman members Of
he parish. as d part OF DR.. Guthrie's
vowed purpose OF bringing beauty
Dto religion. Last weeks newspa-
oers gave considerable space to Il

hey reported. young men and women
iressed like the signs of the zodiac"
mingled with those in the audience
and forced them to Join In the merry
rolic. At various other times inter-
Dretattve dances, in which colored
4potltghts played as much OF a part
IS they do In the theater, have been
reported. Newspaper accounts have
leclared girls in these dances have
been scantily clad.
DR.. Guthrie said he and the vestry.
nen would heed the call OF Bishop
Manning, but insisted each member
II the board would stand by him in
lis determination to continue the
tances unless they were ordered

which votes OF bishops, clergy and
aymen would be taken.
