HOME OF COLUMBUS
WIDOW IS DESTROYED

The barn and residence of
Mrs. Bob Hamilton, widow of
the late Bob Hamilton who
met an untimely death about
two years ago, were totally
destroyed by fire late Thurs
day afternoon of last week.
The Hamilton place is situated
about one mile southeast of
Columbus.
In addition to a quantity oil
feedstuff and other articles,
the barn housed a bale Of IN
ginned cotton.
The origin of the fire has
not been definitely uetermin-
ed, though it is. believed that
Mrs. Hamilton's little son may
have accidentally set fire to
the barn, as he was first to in
form his mother of the burn
ing structure.
Mrs. Hamilton was engaged
with the family wash on the
opposite side of the house from
the barn with no view in that
direction. The flames quickly
ovqcspread the barn and lap
ped the house into ignition.
No help was available, but Mrs.
Hamilton and the small chill
dren made an effort to save
some of the household effects.
A portion of these were
brought to the front porch,
but due to excitement were
left there and consumed by the
flames.
No insurance was carried on
any portion of the property, II
is said.

MONTHLY PRIZE
FOR ATTENDANCE
Parent Teachers ASsO'R Puts
on NOUeL Contest to In
crease Interest.

At a regular meeting of the
Parent-Teacher Association,
held in the school auditorium
Wednesday afternoon, it was
decided that an attendance
contest would be put on to
stimulate intesest in the organ
ization among the parents Of
the student body. The organi-
zation will give $500 IN cash
each month to the room having
the largest attendance of par
ents at their meeting held
the first and third WedneS-
days. When parents have chill
dren in more than one room,
their attendance will be creo-
tied as directed by them. The
monthly cash donation may be
used by the students in pur-
chasing supplies and equip
ment for their room.
There are numerous patrons
of the school who have not
identified themselves with the
Parent-Teachers Asso'n and it
is believed, through the contest,
these will become more inter-
ested in the valuable undertak-
ings Of the organization. 1t
has much to 60, but is handi
capped by reason of having on
ly a small membership.
A pie supper will be given
by the ladies of the association,
at the home of its president,

The proceeds will be used in

ELECTION BOARD
Is UNCERTAIN
Personnel of County Election
Board In Doubt at the
Present Time.

Inc Telegraph herewith pun
fishes a letter from Attorney
General j. S. Utley to Circuit
CLERK L. F. Higgason. Mr.. Hlg-
gason wrote the Attorney Cen
eral asking for guidance in the
election commission matter.
AS appointed in August, the
Board consisted of David y.
Thompson, j. w. Moses and
Jeff Russell. The new board,
as appointed later, is composed
of D. B. Thompson, |. l.. Pill
finton and Dick Newman.
Attorney Gen. Utley's let
ter suggests that the circuit
clerks duties are plain, but nj
opinion is given as to the le-
gality of the new appointees
A similar case, he explains, IS
now pending in the courts as
a result Of the st. Francis
county muddle and the decis-
ion in that case should also de-
eide the Hampstead county
controversy.
The letter follows:
"Hon. l.. F. Higgason,
Washington, Ark.
Dear Sir:
81 have yours of Sept. 18th
inquiring about the change OF
election commissioners in yout
county. There was filed with
the State Election Board a
statement signed by twenty
three gentlemen representing
that Mr.. Moses was actively
engaged in advocating the can
didacy of an independent
against the Democratic noml-
nee for Sheriff and recon-
mending the substitution OF
others for Messrs. Moses and
Russell. T h e petition was
signed by the following;
j. d. Morgan, B. l.. Jean, w.

A. L. Belts and Henry Watkin7.
"Mr. Adkins appeared before
the Board representing the adj
vocates of the change. The
nominee for Sheriff and also
Mr.. Dodson had spoken to me
about the matter. The gen.
eral representation was that
it was a question Of law
enforcement. The names Of
men to be substituted for Mo
ses and Russell were not con-
tanned in the petition but the
two gentlemen who were APP
pointed were suggested, as |
remember it, by Mr.. Adkins.
"You ask what you should
do with reference to summon
ing the new appointees. AS to
whether you shall or shall not
the law Is clear as to your du-
ty and you should 20 ahead

to make, changes within thirty
days Of the election and it is
the intention that this case be
decided in time for the right

 Abemarle was checkmated. He sat there grim and impassive as if he were carved Of stone. But his mind was a seething cauldron of anger. It was always thus. The places of trust, the positions demanding ex- rerienoed heads and able hands that England might be served to the best by her most meritorious sons, were constantly being flung away upon the worthless parasites that hocked about Charles lecherous Court. And he was the more angered here. because his hands were tied against resistance by the very iden- tty of the man he was appointing. Had it been question of any other
