NEW CADILLAC
SALES UP 70
PER CENT
Lower Prices, Improved
Performance, Cause
Upward Turn.

Sales Of the new model Cadillac
during the first three weeks following
its announcement were 81 per cent
higher than those during the first
three weeks following the introduc-
ton of the v-63 two years ago, and
20 per cent higher than during the
corresponding three weeks of 1924,
Retail sales each week since the new
cars announcement have also been
the largest in the company's history,
reports the Goad Motor Company
here.
The new car, with its improved per-
torrance, smarter appearance, greater
comfort and reduced price is respcn-
sible fo- the sharp upward turn in
Cadillac sales, according to Lynn Nc
Nsughton, vice president and general
sales manager of the company.
OFFERS ECONOMY.
while our sales" Mr.. McNaugh-
ton states, have greatly increased
among owners who habitually buy
cars of the highest grade, possibly the
most noticeable increase has been
among those who formerly purchased
lower priced cars, and who, with the
new values established, see the ultl-
mate economy of buying a Cadillac.
The demand has been general all
ever the United States and there has
been a decided increase in export de-
mand for distribution in European
markets.
GREAT SALES RECORD.
As Cadillac sales have consistently
during the past II years been greater
than the combined sales of all other
cars IN and above the Cadillac price
range he continues, ~this means that
We are nov making the greatest sales
record ever attained by any organize
tion building cars of the highest grade.
: Following the completion Of our
new foundries and the installation Of
new machinery, Ggs, tools and dies
for the production of the new car, we
have been working night and day TO
speed production as rapidly as pos
sible consistently with Cadillac quail
ity.~

The Lincoln division of the Ford

REDUCED PRICE
CONTINUES To
HELP SALES

As result of greatly reduced prices,
the sales activity of Hudson and Is
sex cars has been greatly stimulated,
both locally and all over the United
States. The autumn season. according
to William steinhardt Hudson-Essex
distributor, gives every indication of
setting new high records.
With all lines of new cars having
been announced, he continued, the pub
lie is in an excellent position to judge
comparative values, and 10 reward
with great volume of business those
manufacturers who present most value
for the money.
ORDERS GAIN.
Immediately after the Hudson-Es
sex price reduction was announced, .
said Mr.. Steinhardt, 'NTe began to re-
ceive inquiries and orders for cars IN
great numbers. The late-summer-early-
fall season is ordinarily rather below
normal in motor cars as well as other
businesses. but in the case of the
Hudson Essex price reduction we
might have thought we were in the
midst of spring rush. It was the
best business 1926 has given us.
1T was evident that the motoring
public had made up its mind that
Hudson-Essex were the values it had
waited for. The men and whomen
who called at our place of business
came in to buy rather than simply to
inquire and shop around.
GREATER CAR VALUE. e..
"In our opinion the automobile
battle Of 1926 will be fought out on
the basis Of values. There is prob
ably no standard motor car today but
that is capable Of pleasing a great
number Of owners. That being true.
the question in the mind Of the aver
age man or woman who is buying
car is 10 invest his money so as to
obtain the best general all,around
value for it.
"The secret Of Hudson Essex-the
reason why Hudson has become the
largest builder Of siK-cylinder cars N
the worlds that its whole program
is based on giving great value. We
feel that when motorists consider
what Hudson-Essex has TO give for
the money in comparison with the gen
eral list Of offerings, our future de-
mand is sure 10 be large and con
sistent. Hudson and Essex are now
offering the best cars they ever built
at by far their lowest prices-and
for that reason deserve the patronage
they are receiving

FOURTH CAR
OF RADISHES
Crop Is Bringing Good Prices
---Cantaloupe Planting
Is Begun.

Carload shipment of radishes
from this city ceased last Sat-
U1'day, when the fourth car was
started rolling. Express ship
ment of the crop will be con-
tinued by some of the growers
for the present.
Mr.. Trimble, sales manager
for the growers, states that the
radishes have sold at the re-
ceiving end at from $691.00 to
$4,000 per car. This, he says,
will show a substantial profit
to the growers.
Handling and packing oil the
cror has been somewhat diff
cult because of the loss of the
packing shed by fire some time
ago. Arrangements have been
completed for rebuilding the
structure at once, however, and
it will be ready for use in time
for the tomato crop, which
will be tire next crop move
ment. The new shed is to be
at the same location, on the
Missouri Pacific siding, and
will be 60 feet long with track
frontage of 40 feet. Provision
will be made for an extension
when needed. 1t is to be pat.
termed after the Blevins shed.

SUNDAY LID
ISON TIGHT
Grand Jury Files Special
Report Urging Rigid
Sunday Laws.

In a special report made
Thursday, the grand jury asks
fcr. a rigid enforcement of our
Sunday laws throughout the
county. Sheriff Jim Bearden
has promised to carry out their
wishes.
This will mean, according to
the viewpoint of members of
the grand jury, prohibiting the
sale on Sunday of practically
everything except drugs and
medicines, even newspapers
when peddled out by the copy.
A ban will be placed on the
sale of gas, cold drinks, ETC.,
according to Sheriff Bearden,
in all parts of the county. The
report follows:
To the Hon. Jas. H. McCollum:
1--WE, the Grand Jury empan-
elled for the April, 1925, term
of the Hampstead Circuit
Court, beg leave of the Court
to submit this special report:
eve have received informa-
tion that the Sunday laws nave
been violated considerably
throughout this county. This
condition is to be deplored.
"We feel that the law re-
garding the Sabbath day is as
solemn as any .othe~ law, and
that it should be strictly en-
forced.
"To this end we have had the
Sheriff of the county before
our body. and have requested
him to begin immediately to
enforce this law to the very
letter. This he has promised
to do.
This special report is not
made in criticism of the Sheriff
or any other of the officers, but
in order that the Sheriff and Of
ficers, and the citizenship Of
the county, may be assured
that this Grand Jury is solidly
behind the Sheriff in tn dis
charge Of this duty.
Respectfully submitted,

TIE VOTE IS
had FOR MAYOR
Opposing Candidates Each
Get 43 Votes In Tuesdays
Election.

Unusual interest was taken
in Tuesdays municipal election
here, especially in the contest
for mayor. The result was a
tie vote-43 to 43-for each of
the principal contestants, L. F.
Higgason, ex-circuit clerk, and
L. F. Monroe, present incum-
bent. Mr.. Monroe entered the
race for reelection at the "elev
enth hour" at the solicitation
of friends, and his name was
written on the ballot. The
names of L. F. Higgason and
r. A. White were on the printed
ballot as candidates for mayo.
but the latter withdrew from
the contest before voting be-
gan; he received a compliment
tary vote, anyway, however.
1t is not thought likely that
request for a run-off election
will be made and Mayor Mon
roe will probably continue in
the Office as a holdover. Both
candidates, however, have ex.
pressed a willingness to resub-
NIT their candidacy at another
election.
There were seven candidates
in the field for aldermanic po
sitionsl The five elected and
the vote of each follows: J-s.

G-uzenl present councilmen
who we're not candidates for re

WASH HUTSON
LOSES IN SUIT
Ex-County Judge Held LA
BILE In the Jail Cell
Transaction.

| "A lCSOlu dtlClQdllSt VI SiI-
liens from over the county
were present at the opening of
Circuit Court in this city Mon
day morning, presided over by
Judge Jas. H. McCollum.
The Judges charge to the
grand jury was given in his
straightforward style, with es-
special emphasis on the respon-
sibility resting on. the grand
jury with reference to the up
holding of our laws and courts.
Only two jury cases have
been taken up this week, both
being civil actions.
The case of the Interstate
Jobbing Co., of Little Rock,
against +. D. Velvin of this
city, in which the plaintiffs
sued on an account owed by
the defunct Farmers Mercan-
tile Co., was tried by a jury
and a verdict for the defend
ant VelVin returned. The plain
tiff company alleged Mr.. Vel
WINS statuatory liability as a
stockholder of the defunct
company for not filing a cor
po~ation report, as required
by law. E. P. McFadden rep
resented the plaintiff and l.. F.
Monroe the defendant. The op-
posing attorneys had a tilt
over the alleged Disappearance
of some papers in the case and
a physical encounter was POS
sibly prevented hy colIri A.
tendants, who stepped tetween
them.
In the Hutson-Pickett case
the court eliminated the lat
ter from the suit and M. Hut
son was tried singly. A verdict
in favor of the county and car
rying judgement for $2,510.00,
the amount sought, was retdrn-
ed at 2:3O o'clock this after
noon.
The civil suit of the state for
use and benefit of Hampstead
county against Wash Hutson,
eX-county judge, and A. F.
Pickett, contractor, was taken
up Thursday and a trial jury
selected. The state completed
its evidence during the after
noon by the introduction of
about twelve witnesses. Intro
duction of defense witnesses
was begun this (Friday) morn
ing. Representing the county
are Prosecuting Atty Bush,
Attorney Steve Carrigan ana
Attorney L. F. Monroe, while
the defense counsel is made up
of Attorneys o. A. Graves, U.
A. Gentry and Shaver & Sha-
yer.
This suit grew out of the
purchase and installation of
new cells in the county Jail in
1922, while Mr.. Hutson was
county judge. The amount in
volved is $3.50. Judge Hut
son let the contract for putting
in the cells to A. F. Pickett
and allowed claim to the lat
ter for both payment for the
cells and erection contract.
The cells were purchased of
the E. T. Barnum & Co. Iron
Works, Detroit, Mich, which
company entered suit against
the county and recovered The
sale price of the cells, which IS
the amount now sought from
Hutson and Pickett. Pickett's
failure to pay for the cells, he
testified was due to his losing
the money on a Louisiana con-,
tract.
The plaintiff attorneys con-
tend that Judge Hutson illegal
