STATE CAMPAIGN IS
OPENED BY DR. BROUGH
Denounces Act No. 2, But is in
Favor of School Tax ant
Road Tax Amendments.
Melbourne, Sept. 25.—Dr
C. 11. Brough, Democratic nom
inee for governor, opened the
Democratic state campaign here
today with an address to $
crowd estimated at 500. Dele
gations were here from Inde
penelence, Stone and Fultor
counties. It was the first time
the state fight has ever beer
opened in tihs section. Thomas
S. Evans was chairman of the
meeting, which was held at the
courthouse.
After complimenting the
many staunch Democratic lead
ers in this section, Dr. Brougt
paid the following tribute te
President Woodrow Wilson
“He has the patriotism oi
Washington, the philosophy oi
Jefferson, the courage of An
drew Jackson, and the philan
thropy of Abraham Lincoln.He
is destined to go down in his
tory as one of the five greatesl
presidents of the United States
“The Progressives in Arkan
sas should support Wilson,’
Dr. Brough said, “because he
has had enacted every Progres
sive campaign plank except
the recall of judges.
“The federal reserve act is
the greatest piece of financial
legislation since the Civil war.
The rural credits act is a na
tional charter of liberty for the
farmer.” He praised the Shack
leford good roads bill, which
appropriates $75,000,000 over
a period of five years for good
roads throughout the United
States. He advised county offi
cials how to get a share of the
funds.
Dr. Brough summed up the
president's Mexican policy in
these words: Millions of Amer
ican dollars for the protection
of American lives, but not one
American life for the protec
tion of dollars.
“That policy is identical with
Lincoln’s policy toward Mexi
co,’ Dr. Brough sain, no aisc
praised the president’s polic\
which kept the United State?
out of the European war.
Dr. Brough paid his respects
to Charles S. Hughes, Republi
can candidate for president.
“Mr. Hughes announced him
self in favor of woman suffrage
purely for political effect,” he
said. “Mr. Hughes has never
voted for woman suffrage,
while President Wilson has
cast a vote for it.
The nation’s wealth increas
ed during the Democratic ad
ministration from $183,000,
000.000 to $236,000,000
000, Dr. Brough said, and the
manufactured prod nets increas
ed from $27,000,000,000 to
$36,000,000,000. Only $135,
000,000 of this was for muni
tions.
Dr. Brough urged the adop
tion of Amendment No. 12,
which makes possible an in
crease of school tax from 7 to
12 mills; Amendment No. 13,
which extends the power of
the initiative and referendum,
and No. 14 for good roads. He
urged that Act No. 2, which
would repeal the statewide
prohibition law,be voted down.
The act is grossly unfair, he
said, even as a local option pro
position, because it would be
possible to have an election ev
ery three months to vote on the
question of license.
Tie thanked Judge Smith
and Secretary of State Earle
W. Hodges for their co-opera
tion and support, and closed by
urging a united and harmon
ious Democratic party in Ark
ansas.

FORMER POLICE JUDGE
ATTACKS ACT NO. 2
Judge Isgrig Shows Unfairness
of Bill and Says Prohibition
Great Help to Little Rock.. .
Little Rock, Sept. 25.—Act
No. 2, to be voted upon at the
general election November 7,
known as the local option bill,
was vigorously attacked from
many standpoints yesterday af
ternoon by former Police Judge
Fred A. Isgrig,in a reply to Ben
L. Griffin, at a meeting at
Frank’s hall. Mr. Griffin, head
of the local Self-Government
T ou.^u»,wkuik mitittiofl tko Kill
spoke two weeks ago at the
same place defending the bill,
and severely criticising the
stand of the church and the
press in actively working
against the passage of the bill.
Mr. Griffin said it is the peo
ple’s business alone if they
want the bill.
Judge Isgrig declared that
Act No. 2 is not a local option
bill in the strict sense of the
word. lie said the bill would
give the liquor interests an un
fair advantage and that the
people would have practically
nothing to do with the control
of the traffic if the bill is
adopted.
Judge Isgrig referred to the
effect of nine months, f prohi
bition on the state, saying it
has decreased crime in every
city where liquor was sold prior
to January 1. He said it has not
affected business adverely in
these cities, because the bank
clearings in each of them show
a heavy increase over years
prior to the advent of prohibi
tion.
“As judge of the Little Rock
Police Court I was familiar
with the effects of saloons up
on crime,” he said. “I have
watched with interest the de
line in arrests in Little Rock
ind Argenta since prohibition
came. Where 20 and .°>0 arrests
i day were common a year ago
n Little Rock, we now rarely
lave more than 10. The same
conditions prevail at Fort
smith, Pine Bluff and other
•ities in the state.”

NASHVILLE BARBER
KILLED BY WOMAN
Improper Notes Written to
Married Woman Said to
Have Been Cause of Killing
Nashville, Ark., Sept. 2G.—
Mrs. Annie Smith walked into
the Palace barber shop at 9:30
o’clock this morning and scath
ingly rebuked C. S. Ledford,
83 years old, a barber, and the
father of six children. Then she |
pulled at .32-caliber revolver
from a small paper sack she
carried and shot him.
The wounded man ran 40
feet to the rear of the shop and
fell. John Smith, husband of
Mrs. Smith, entered the barber
shop. "Shoot the
again,” he shouted. Together
they walked to where Ledford
lay. The revolver spoke twice,
and Ledford lay still, shot
through the heart and through
the back. It is believed the first
shot penetrated his heart and
that he was dead when the sec
ond and third shots were_fired.
One shot went wild.
Then the husband and wife
left the barber shop and went
to an office next door, where
they surrendered to Marshal
Robertson. Both were placed in
Tail and will be given a pre
liminary hearing tomorrow
morning. Smith is held as an
accessory before the fact.
That the shooting was the
culmination of an “affair” that
became the subject of gossip
was admitted by7 Smith.He said
Ledford had written several
notes to Mrs. Smith which were
improper and annoying. Smith
said he found some of the notes
and Ledford’s wife found some
which Mrs. Smith had written
to Ledford. Ledford’s actions,
he said, had caused talk, and
Mrs. Smith brooded over the
notoriety until she became des
perate.
Smith did not explain his
sudden appearance on the
scene. The Smiths live more
than a mile from Nashville.
Lii ex tufmor.
Three men witnessed the
b-agedy. They were Robert
Boydston, owner of the barber
shop. George Copel and Frank
Ferguson. Ledford was cutting
Copel’s hair when Mrs.^Smith
entered.
They say Mrs. Smith told
Ledford she wanted to talk to
him. He stopped work and fac
ed her. They walked to one
side of the building and con
versed for several minutes.
Boydston said he heard Mrs.
Smith ask:
“Have I ever conducted my
self in a manner to make you
believe I am anything but a
lady?” Suddenly she jerked
the revolver from the sack and
fired, the witnesses said. Led
ford was less than three feet
from her. He turned and ran
to the rear of the shop and fell.
As if by a signal, it is said.
Smith entered and yelled his
command at his wife to shoot
again. Both of them followed
Ledford, and two more shots
were fired. Boydston says that
Mrs. Smith snapped the revol
ver several times as Ledford
ran.
Up to several weeks agoLed
ford was absent from Nashville
for more than a month, be
cause, it is said, he and his wife
had quarreled about the notes
she found written by Mrs.
Smith. Ledford had lived here
for many years. The Smiths al
so have lived near here for
many years.

Sallowness
is a yellow discoloration of the skin caused by bilious
impurities in the blood. The trouble stalls in the
liver, which is torpid, and a torpid liver brings on
diseases which may put you on your back for a sick
spell if not corrected. The sensible course for sallow
people is to get the liver back to its work as quickly
as possible. The right remedy for that purpose is
HERBINE
A Cleansing, Strengthening Medicine
for a Torpid Liver
Herbine is composed of fine medicinal herbs which
are known for their beneficial effect on the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels. They are more powerful and
searching than an ordinary laxative syrup, and more
lasting in their effect. It puts life into a torpid liver,
strengthens the stomach, helps digestion, sweetens
the breath, clears the complexion of sallowness, and
restores the clear ruddy hue of health. Try it for
sallowness or any disorder in the stomach or bowels.
It does the work.

THE IMMEDIATE SALE
Is Not All That Good
ADVERTISING
ACCOMPHLISHES
It an individual is to cultivate his personal friend
ships he must keep in touch with his friends. As I)r.
Johnson puts it, we must keep our friendships in const
ant repair.”
It is so with a merchant. Through his advertising
he is enabled to keep in communication with his store’s
patrons and friends. He gives them the new facts about
his offerings. Sometimes h ■ tells them of special op
portunities he has created through which they may
save money in needed purchases. These advertisements
' * •'Ia<i |) sales may usually be relied upon to stimu
late business—to make quick turnovers of stocks which
have accumulated.
< ut the store’s advertising does more than to ac
c< mplish clearances, or to speed up sales of particular
lines of goods. It repairs and cerm nts store-friend
• hips. 1 he slightly “peeved” customer, who may be
holding a mild grievance, is won back through the in
fluence of advertising which makes the store’s policies
understood. The man or the woman who may have de
cided that, for some reason unknown to the merchant,
they will transfer their trading to some other store, be
comes interested in a special offering made in the ad
vertisements of the innocent offender, and comes back
to the first allegiance.
Advertising affords the means of holding waver
»np Itiendships. And that is a task facing every mer
chant—and more important than the immediate sale.
