Arkansas Returns Show Klaners'
 Candidate Trailing

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 14.-1n-
 complete returns from 73 of the 75
 counties in the state, tabuIated early
 today showed Tom J. Terral, of Little Rock, leading a field of six | candidates for the democratic nomi- nation for governor with a plurality of 5,673 votes over his nearest rival, Leo Cazort, of Clarksvillc, the Ku Klux Klan candidate in Tuesdays primary.
 Judge John F. Martineau, of Little
 Rock, was in third place with 4,5SS less than Cazort and full 10000 less than the ticket leader. Hamp Williams, of Hot Springs; Jim G. Fer guson, of Little Rock, and Jacob R. Wilson. of Eldorado, trailed in the order named and punched close to- gether. Williams was more than 5000 votes behind Martineau.
 The vote for governor was as fol- lows:
 Terral 39,514; Cazort. 33,S41; Mar tineau, 29,25S; Williams, 20,0O6; Fer Suson. 19,S27; Wilson, 19,6SS.
 Ferguson made his admission of defeat the vehicle of scathing de- nunciation of the Ku Klux Kan. The nomination of Terral, he said, in a formal statement, was a vindication of the principles for which he stood during the campaign. Mir. Fergu- son claimed credit for Cazort's defeat and the stamping out of 'Comerism' in Arkansas politics"
 The reference 10 "Comerism" was at J. o. Conner, grand dragon of the 1iu kluX Kan in Arkansas, and leader in republican politics in the state. In letter to Mir. Terral, Ferguson declared that fin the con- | test just ended the most important | matter was the defeat of "Comerism" | md republican interference with | democratic rule in Arkansas"

NEW FIETY.cENT PIECE

Congress has passed, by unani-
nous vote of the House and Sen
ate, and President Coolidge has
approved, an act authorizing the
coinage Of five million silver
fifty-cent pieces commemorating
the commencement of work on
the Stone Mountain Memorial to
the Confederacy. Gutzon Borglum
will design the coin.
1t is of unusual interest that
the suggestion Of the issuance Of
a Memorial fifty-cent piece was
made by Harry Stillwell Edwards,
the well-known writer of the city
The idea is a unique and pleas
ing one and is destined to be help
full to the cause.
incidentally, the Memorial As
ISOLATION will handle the entire
distribution of the coins, selling
them for one dollar each. This
will place in the treasury of the
Association some two and a half
million dollars, provided all the
coins are sold in the national cam
paign now being planned. The
originator of the idea is to be
congratulated-Macon Telegraph.

Weeds

Scientists say that our larg-
est cities, if abandoned, would
in 20 years be run in ruins, con
quered ey jungle growth of
vegetation.
Weeds and other forms of
plant life that grow wild have
terrific vitality. Bitter struggle
for existence has given them
strength and endurance. That's
why weeds choke out a garden
unless vegetables are helped in
the fight by constant wedding.
The vegetables, pampered
and assisted by man generation
after generation, have become
feeble in powers Of resistance.
They surrender easily to the
weeds, as have the flower gar
dens that once surrounded the
haunted house.
Be thankful for troubles and
obstacles. They develon
stronghold character and wis
dom as well as muscles.

Sings head physician.
Captain Richmond P. Hob
son, president of the Interna-
tional Narcotic Education Asso-
citation, says;
1T is estimated that more
than nine-tenths of all murders,
hold-ups and daring robberies
are now committed by drug
addicts.
Prohibition, important as it is,
after all is trivial matter COM
pared with the Drug Traffic. At
least one and a quarter million
Americans are victims of the
drug habit, and a fourth Of
them are not usefully employed.
People with whom we talk
seem to have the notion that the
most outstanding and dangerous
feature of the Drug Traffic is
the increase in crime, due to
drugs.
But there is a greater peril
the fact that the drug habit is
making its greatest gains among
the youth of America.
Captain Hogson places the
average age of the heroin addict
at q. The majority must
have been recruited before the
age of TO-"
A youth will become an ad-
dict in 10 days, and a mature
man in 80 days.
The government can do much
by rigid attempts to enforce the
Harrison act, and by giving con-
victed dope peddlers the limit
under the law. IF that limit is
not severe enough, the law
should be given more teeth.
Why is it that more bootleg
gers than dope peddlers are ar
rested, though violation of the
Volstead act is not nearly as
great menace as the Drug
Traffic?

TALKING ABOUT SECOND
PLACE

There is a movement looking
toward the nomination of a strong
man for vice president of the
two great parties. This is caused
by the possibility of third party
and that the presidential cleo
ton may be thrown into the house
Due to a closeness of the vote
the President may not be elected
and the man chosen Vice Presi-
dent by the Senate will become
President at least for time. A
When the election of a Pres;-
dent is thrown into the-House
under the Constitution the mem
bers vote as states and the cleo
ton must BE by a majority vote
At present the Republicans con
troll twen-g-three states, the
Democrats twenty, and five dele
cations are tied. SO no candi-
date may receive a majority vote
and, bear in mind, the present
Congress must select, if there is
no choice by the electoral college
until February. The Republicans
may eunseat enough Democrats to
give them a majority. At pres
emit the five states with their 20
litical complexion evenly di
yided are New Hampshire, New
Jersey, Maryland, Nebraska and
Montana. There has only been
one case of the failure Of cleo
tors to choose a President. That
was in 1926

Our Heroes in Gray

Again today We of the South
honor the memory of those who
fought for home and principle
back in the sixties.
Battle flags, ragged and fad
ed, were unfurled and borne on
shoulders bent with advancing
age; but today those shoulders
were a bit slaughter, eyes
brighter and a smile covers faces
wrinkled but gloriously beautiful
to every man and woman whose
heart beats of the Old South.
They fought like men; they
lost like men; they returned to
wrecked homes, unafraid to face
the future, unashamed of the
cause they espoused.
Victory was denied them, but
there's no disgrace in their fail
ure. This thought is beautiful
ly expressed by Miriam Teich-
ner, in Victory
l call no fight losing fight
If, fighting, | have gained some
strength, new strength:
If, fighting, l turned ever toward
the light, all unallied with
forces of the night:
If, beaten, quiyering, / could
say at length:
Il did no deed that needs to be
unnamed;
| fought-and lost-and l am
unashamed."
In time our gray-clad heroes
will pass on to their reward.
but the memory Of their valor
will ever live in the heart of the
South.
