Indianapolis is far ahead of

the. same basis on which this city
stands" he said.
THE land of boom has run away
from itself. The people there have
talked high prices and real estate.
but they have not concentrated on
many of the things that makes real
cities, such as Indianapolis.
There are no such things as mu-
nicipal sewage disposal, electric
lights and gas plants there. All
those things have been neglected.
They must stop some time and es-
tabllsh them
"The booming is practically over
But yet, a real estate man will sell
you lot along the waterfront that
is submerged and you have to take
a chance that the real estate com
pany will fill it fol' you"
Sexton told of a real estate man
there who told him he had bar
gain" Sexton, baslng his figure on
Indiana values, told him he'd pay
$500. The Florida real estate
dealer said it Couldn't be touched
for less than $4,000.

McCALEB ANNOUNCES
FOR CHANCERY JUDGE

Judge ]. b. McCaleb of Batesville Is
in our city today. He is candidate
for Judge of the Chancery Court for
this District and his announcement
will appear in the next issue Of the
Star Herald.
Judge McCaleb needs no commenda-
tion to the older citizens Of Randolph
county. For three terms he was Judge
of the Circuit Court for this, the 18th
Judicial Circuit, having been the i'm
mediate predecessor of Judge Meeks
OF our city.
No man ever held an Office that in
cluded Randolph County, who stood
higher or was more popular with her
people, than was Judge McCaleb when
he retired from Office in 1902 He IS
too well known for our comment to
have any effect ON the older voters of
Randolph county.
AS jurist he had no superior and
as gentleman no man stood higher
with the people of this county.
His appearance today impresses older
citizens that he is at the apex Of his
mental and physical vigor and that he
is full of that old snap and energy
that was 80 characteristic Of him when
he adjourned his last term of court
August, 1902.
With all due respect to his oppon-
ents we take pleasure in presenting
his name to the voters of Randolph
county and we predict that they will
give him an enthusiastic support in the
primary.

KIRBY ANNOUNCES FOR
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE

We are authorized to announce VIM.
F. Kirby of Little Rock as a candidate
for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, subject TO the August Democra-
tic primary.
Mr. Kirby is known in Randolph
county as the brilliant, capable lawyer
who compiled, in 1904. the states Off
cial digest. Kirby's Digest of Statutes
of Arkansas.
Speaking editorially of Mr.. Kirby,
the Texarkana Texarkanian says:
Among the candidates for nomination
for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, Senator VIM. F. Kirby is an out
standing figure.
Since his retirement from the United
States Senate, Senator Kirby has been
engaged in the practice of law, with
the firm of Kirby & Hays of Camden
and Little Rock. His ripe judicial
mind, however. leads him to aspire to
position on the bench of our highest
tribunal.
Senator Kirby was born in Miller
County, and was licensed to practice
law when only II years of age His
record of public service is a distin-
guished one, marking him as one of
the States most prominent public mon.
His following in this county and this
section of the State is very strong.

school can send TO the contests rep
resentation in all the branches of the
