CHARLES H. BROUGH.
After publicly declaring that he
would divide time with Dr. C. H.
Brough at any of his appoint
ments, other than those in Dr.
Brough’s home county, Washing
ton, Earle W. Hodges was forced
to take backwater Tuesday after
noon, Feb. 29, when Dr. Brough
appeared at Van Buren and re
quested a joint discussion.
Hodges with his harrangue of
demagoguery has never been
able to satisfactorily explain to
the voters why he refused to let
his books in his office be examin -
ed and he could not face the
music of meeting Dr. Brough.
The pardons, public printing and
political patronage being dished
out and promised by the Hays
Hodges machine is gaining them
nothing with the oxception of a
few pie hunters. We predict
che election of Dr. Brough and
that with an overwelming major

A. L. Hutchins present county
judge and candidate for re-elec
tion to his second term spent a
part of Thursday in McCrory.
Judge Hutchins has made a com
petent, honest and efficient offi
cial and has saved the county
hundreds of dollars during the 17
months that he has been in office.
He has adopted and put into ex
ecution the plan of going over
the roads in person in order to
get an idea of what should be
done. We feel that should he be
given a second term and time in
which to work out his plans
that the roads of the county will
be greatly improved and the fi
nances put on a sound business
basis. Judge Hutchins is a sound
safe man; he is not the candidate
of any man, clique or ring, wears
no man’s collar and best of all
no axe to grind at the public ex
pense and no personal interests
at stake to menace the welfare
of the people.

School District Intact.
Judge A. L. Hutchins of the
Woodruff County Court rendered
a decision last Saturday in the
matter of dividing the McCrory
Special School District which no
aouDt win stop tne ngnt tnat nas
been made by Hon. M. H. Patter
son and others to form a new
school district at Jelks by taking
away about one-third of the terri
tory belonging to the McCrory
Special School District.
The petition of Mr. Patterson
and others was denied for the
reason that it failed to contain a
majority of the qualified electors
of the entire district. Had the
petition been signed by a major
ity it would have been granted,
but we congratulate the people
of the district upon their good
judgment in this matter, and
join them in rejoicing over the
fact that the district will remain
intact.
The Home News has main
tained all the time that to make
two districts of the McCrory
Special School District would not
be to the best interests of the
school children of the entire dis
trict and it is with pleasure that
we learn of the victory that has
been achieved.
Judge Hutchins has handled
this school fight strickly accord
ing to law and had the claims of
those who desired to divide the
district conformed to the sta
tutes, he no doubt would have
granted their petition. He has
heard both sides of the question,
fairly and impartially and has
given the matter his personal at
tention that he might render an
impartial and intelligent decision.
The people of McCrory Special
School District have very decid
edly expressed themselves that
they do not wish to have the dis
trict divided and with the order
from the court of the above gen
tleman and judge they now feel
that the matter has been satis
factorily settled. — The Home
