Benton, Ark., Feb. 24.—Saline
Lodge, No. 174 I. 0. 0. F., has
closed negotiations with the
Grand Lodge A. 0. U. W. at
Little Rock, for a loan of $5,000
to finish the payments on the
new lodge hall that has been
erected. It is a handsome brick
building, of two stories, with
stores on the first floor.
“If I am elected your govern
or, the people’s books, your books,
in every department of this great
state, through which one cent of
your money is handled, will be
subjected to your inspection or
to the inspection of any commit
tee of your chosen representa
tives,” is the way Dr. C. H.
Brough comes right to the front
and promises the people that
their affairs will be investigated,
and properly attended to.
There is such a difference in
campaigns being waged over
Arkansas today. One candidate
is hammering away on Dr.
Brough, expecting the people to
put him in office because of his
very great ability as a manufac
turer of fabrications with which
to charge his opponent. He has
nothing to tell the people about
his platform, only varying the
monotony of his speech with
songs and frothy bits of humor.
This candidate is losing ground
every day, while Dr. Brough,
sticking closely to records, and
to telling the people what he will
do for them when he becomes
governor, is reaping the harvest.
The Brough landslide has gotten
well under way, and will gain
momentum every day until the
primaries.

Dr. C. H. Brough denies thai
he is a tax dodger. He has paic
his taxes every year since coming
! into the state and it is not his faull
I if a mistake has been made ir
! county records so the fact is nol
i recorded. Dr. Brough is a man
1 of principle, and he has paid his
taxes because he considers it the
act of a good citizen, and not be
cause he had political preferment
in view. Those who know Dr.
I Brough do not even consider the
senseless charges of political
gangsters, and the people of
Arkansas will not approve of the
methods of these aforesaid poli
ticians in the primary in March.
Little Rock, Feb. 24. —Arkan
sas rivers have fared very well
at the hands of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee, in contra
diction to the usual course,
which has been to reduce the
Arkansas appropiations to a min
imum. This time, however, the
Committee, almost ignored the
Engineers, who practically rec
ommended the abandonment of
the Arkansas river improve
ments. Among the items agreed
upon were: Arkansas river
#209,000, Ouachita #474,000,
White $30,500, St. Francis and
L’Anguille $9,500, Cache $3,000.
The Engineers had recommended
#35,000 for e Arkansas and
#5,000 for the White.
“Let Arkansas Grow Her Gov
ernors” is an appeal to prejudice,
and an effort to draw attention
from lack of qualifications. Ark
ansas has thousands of men who
would grace the office of govern
or, and who would attract favor
able comment from tne outside,
but they are men of such calibre
that they would not have to send
out a gas cloud in order to hide
their lack of ability. Arkansas
has had many native governors,
ana many wno were not, out
nothing has ever been found to
show that they made less compe
tent officials through the fact
that they happened to be born in
another state.
The most enthusiastic club ever
organized in Little Rock to fur
ther the interest of a candidate
for state office, is the Brough
club, which came into existence
last week with a membership of
600, and which will have a mem
bership of 6,000 before the pri
maries. John W. Wade is the
president and L. P. Biggs, secre
tary. Both are prominent young
attorneys, and were interested ir
the recent successful campaigr
of Lee Miles, who defeated Jc
Asher for county judge in the
most spectacular campaign the
county ever knew. The younj;
men who were so active in the
| overthrow of the old political re
: gime in Little Rock, are mos
1 active for Dr. Brough, and this
assures him Pulaski county by ;
good majority.
Confederate Veterans
Chickens will come home to
roost. Dr. Brough, although his
mother was the daughter of a
prominent Confederate veteran,
was criticized by one of his op
ponents, because his father was
a Pennsylvanian, as though it
affected his qualification to hold
the office of Governor. Now it
has been discovered that the
mother of this candidate was born
in Indiana and was the daughter
of a Union soldier. It does not
affect his qualification, but it
serves as a boomerang, and makes
all more pertinent, the old ad
age—“Look before you leap.”
There was never a more ardent
sympathizer with the Confedrate
Veteran in Arkansas than Dr.
Brough, and when he is elected
Governor, they will be well cared
for. Dr. Brough has for a num
ber of years been one of the chief
orators at Confederate reunions
over the state and the veterans
were always pleased with him,
because they knew it was truth,
and not political promises he was
giving them.
Sells Store At Jelks.
The store building and stock
of the Baxter Stave Co. of Jelks
was sold Monday by Mr. J. E.
Baxter to a Mr. Scott of Mem
phis who will not take possession
until April, 1st. Mr. Baxter who
has managed the business for the
company will move his family
back to Lima, Ohio, because of
his health and real estate hold
ings there. The company will
continue the operation of its mill
at Jelks which was not included
in the sale of the store.
Mr. L. G. Baxter will continue
to remain in charge of the stave
mill and his brother retains his
interests in the same. Mr. and
Mrs. Baxter and their refined
daughter, Miss Bernice, and
bright little son, Master David,
have made many friends here
who regret to learn of their con
templated change. We are al
ways glad to welcome citizens of
their class to our town and hope
to some day again claim them as
our neighbors.
Esq. L. B. Winfree returned
Tuesday from a three weeks’
stay in Hot Springs.
