FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 11)04
The eyes of the world have been
turned upon Arkansas at the
World's Fair this week, and we
venture to say that they have not
been disappointed.
Only three counties voted a
gainst road tax at the recent elec
tion. These were Nevada, Newton
and Searcy counties. The road
tax has come to stay.
And now the Beebe News, that
.rankest of rank pro-I)avis paper,
wants to crush Judge Wood out of
existence because he voted for Da
vis in the recent election. Verily,
the editor of the News is an
“amoosin’ cuss.”
Next March Senator James 11.
Kerry will have seen twenty years
continuous serv ice in the United
■States senate from Arkansas. He
bad been in office continuously
for eight years previous to his
election as senator, thus giving
him ihs years service without a
break. But in spite of his 28
years as a public servant, the sen
ator is not satisiied and wants six
years more. The old saying that
“Man wants but little here, below,
nor wants that little long,'' doesn't
seem to lit Unc’ diill's case exact
The placid waters of our fain- ;
oils pond are still painfully visible, <
and it seems that the city council
is determined to ignore it com
pletely. It seems a little strange
that the men entrusted with the
management of the town’s affairs I
and who should take a deeper in
terest in the welfare and progress
of the town than any one else, will
persistently ignore a thing of J
this kind. The same amount of
public money could not be expend- t
ed to better advantage than in v
draining this filthy pond. Hver.v
body, even the members of the 1
council, admit that it should be t
drained. Then why not do it'
There are no other public improve
ments being made, so far as we

know, and it does seem that the
council would wake up and do
something.
Our republican friends claim
that theirs is a progressive party,
but Newton and Searcy counties,
the only republican counties in the
state, voted against the road tax
in the recent election. But
perhaps the news of the republi
can party’s great progressiveness
hasn’t reached those counties yet.
THK AMENDMENTS.
It is announced from Little
Hock that Amendment No. 9 has
carried. There was a total of
148,054 votes polled in the elec
tion. Of these 44,066 were for
No. 9, and 43,445 against. This
gives a majority of 0-21 votes for
the amendment. Hut it did not
receive a majority of all the votes
cast. It requires 74,028 votes to
make a majority of all the votes
cast.
'This revives the old question as
to the construction of the constitu
tion with reference to the adoption
of amendmends. Does it require
only a majority of the vote cast on
the subject, or a majority of the
total vote cast; The question is j
one that has never been definitely
settled.
The amendment giving the gov
ernor the power to till vacancies
in otlice by appointment did not
receive a majority of all the votes
•a>t in the election at which it was
voted upon. Jt only received aj
majority of the votes cast on that1
subject, and there lias frequently
been grave doubts as to whether
t was legally and constitutionally
idopted.
It is said the question as to the
uloption of amendment No. 9 will
>e taken to the supreme court for
i tinal decision. The fate of the
jther amendment referred to will
lepend upon the decision in this
•ase.
If the supreme court decides
hat No. was not adopted, the
jovernor would then have no pow
*r to fill vacancies in office. This
>rings up a further complicated
>tate of affairs and the question
irises as to whether the official
icts of those heretofore appointed
o office are valid.

A MISTAKE.
In our advertisement last week we stated
that the records show that 96 per cent of the
merchants eventually faii in business, and that
the successful 4 per cent sell goods for spot cash.
We were going by the records of several
years ago. At that time more merchants sold
goods on a credit, and more failures resulted.

Recent statistics show that more merchants
are now doing business on a cash basis than
ever before, and today the records show that 94
per cent, instead of 66 per cent fail.
So, you see, we made a 2 per cent mistake,
and as it is our motto to substantiate our state
ments, we are ready to acknowledge the mis
take, even if it is a small one.
Our Mr. Whiting will leave in a few days for
the Northern and Eastern markets to make our
Fall and Winter purchases. Our customers know
that this means that Newark will have one of
the most complete and up-to-date lines of fine
Dry Goods, Notions, Millinery, Gents Furnishings,
Hats and Shoes ever shown in any town in
North Arkansas. He knows how, where, when
and what to buy, and his spot cash system
enables him to lead them ail.

now, tor the next ten days, our present
stock will almost be given away to make room
for our magnificent stock of Fall and Winter
goods. i still have many things that you need
and we need the room for our Fall goods.
One dollar in cash will go almost as far here
as two dollars at a credit store.
Don’t forget and say, “Charge this,”
for after October 1 our terms will be strict
ly Spot Cash, and we positively will not
break this rule for any one.
Spot Cash and One Price to
Everybody Alike is Our flotto.
