ive on all railroads today, (Fri

FOR CORRUPT POLITICS
Writer Would Turn Down Stand
Patters of Questionable Record
Mr. Editor—For a long period
of time men of both political par
ties have, after being elected to of
fice failedor neglected to fullfil our
expectations and their promises.
Practically at times they have
either ignored or repudiated the
platforms on which they were
elected. This, coupled with a lot
of dodging, has defeated our will
and shaken our confidence. By
this means our system of govern
ment seems to have been changed
to one of minority rule. The Re
publican and Democratic parties
have changed so much in practice
that they are only such in name,
and not in their practice.
Corrupt political parties have
been tolerated and upheld too long
by good, patient dyed-in-the-wool
Democrats and Republicans.
We have a powerful weapon to
fight with if we choose to use it,
and that is the ballot, our vote.
When a political party, or its
nominees, have not served our in
terests, or have betrayed our con
fidence, they are not entitled to
our vote, although we may have
affiliated with them in the past.
As upholders of a government by
the people for the people we
should vote against them, and
vote for their opponent. Although
a secure one it is the only remedy
that will effectually cure corrupt
political parties and corrupt poli
tics. J. A. Greenhaw

WOMEN ENGAGE IN
NEAR FATAL FIGHT
Mrs. C. E. Caldwell Seriously
Stabbed With Knife by Hrs.
Mary Alderson
A serious cutting affray took
place in front of E. E. Allen’s store
last Friday afternoon between
Mrs. C. E. Caldwell and Mrs. Mary
Alderson, in which Mrs. Caldwell
was seriously cut about the breast,
in one side and on one arm.
The families live near each other
in the eastern part of town and
ill-feelings have existed between
them for a year. As a result,
members of both families have
been fined in the local courts at
different times.
Friday afternoon Mrs. Caldwell
and Mrs. Alderson were brought
before Mayor Ketchem on a charge
of disturbing the peace, and both
were fined. When court was ad
journed and the women started
home the trouble was renewed in
front of E. E. Allen’s store. Mrs.
Caldweii is said to have struck
Mrs. Alderson with a box. Mrs.
Alderson had a knife concealed
about her person and whipped it
out and began using it with such
telling effect upon her antagonist
that before the women could be
separated by by-standers Mrs.
Caldwell received a number of
deep and ugly wounds upon her
body and on one arm.
Mrs. Caldwell was removed up
stairs to Dr. S. A. Drennen’s office
and was given medical attention
by Drs. Drennen, Evans and Roe.
At first it was feared that the
wounds would prove fatal, but she
was later removed to her home
and is improving nicely and unless
complications arise she will recover
Mrs. Alderson was arrested and
placed under guard and Saturday
was taken to Batesville and turn
ed over to Sheriff Fike who has kept
her under guard. She will be giv
en a preliminary trial as soon as
Mrs. Caldwell’s condition will per
mit.
Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell have lived
in Newark a number of years and
never had any trouble of any con
sequence with anyone.
Mrs. Alderson came from Little
Rock about three years ago to
Sulphur Rock where she married
John Alderson, a machinist, and
after his death about two years
ago she moved to Newark.
