To Dissolve Mercantile Com
panies In Woodruff Co.
Attorney and former Senator
E.M.Carl-Leeof Augusta v asheie
Monday on business. He stated
that he is having three initiative
petitions circulated in this county
for the purpose of dissolving all
mercantile campanies and pro
hibiting the organization of any
others in the future.
Only 65 signers to the petitions
are necessary as that number
represents eight per cent of the
total vote cast for governor in
the last general election. Fe
secured 36 names to his petiti )U
at Augusta and sent one petition
to E. W. Chaney and one to Jeff
Ford, of Tip, who he says
will secure the balance necessary
to make the total number of 65.
The gentleman stated that his
section of the county was men
aced in the way of free competi
tion in the marketing of farm
products in as much as the price
wras to a great extent controlled
by large companies. He also re
ferrek to companies that require
the tenant of their lands to
trade at their store, gin at their
gin and sell the product to their
firm.
There is no doubt but that the '
number of signers necessary will |
be secured and that the bill will!
be submitted to the voters at the!
next general election in Novem
ber. Should a majority of the
people vote for the bill it will be- j
come a law and will apply to i
Woodruff County only.
True to its foundamental
principles, the Democratic party
in Arkansas has pledged itself
unequivocally to support Amend
ment No. 12, a local option meas
ure, pure and simple. This
means better schools and a great
er Arkansas.
There appears to be no furthur
doubt about Smead Powell of
Camden entering the senatorial
lists against Joe T. Robinson. It
is roalibly stated that he will
make his formal announcement'
in a public speech at Waldon
July 4.
J. R. McCummins of Bullville
is driving a new five-pass nger
Ford purchased of Riggs Bres.
H. S. Taylor arrived Sunday
from Searcy where he laid to
rest the remains of his wife last
week.
Mrs. H. P. Riggs, Jr., and
children, returned today, Friday,
from a len days’ visit in Little
Rock.
The Junior Missionary Society |
will have the mite-box opening
a Mrs. Ross Jeffries’ home Mon
day at 9:30 a. m. From there the
crowd will go to the woods to
spend the day.

Little Rock, June 12.— Mayor I
Chas. E. Taylor of Little Rock
is coming to be recognized by
the big politicians as one of the
ablest men in public affairs. It
is conceded that should he cast!
his hat in the ring he would:
stand a good chance of landing
any office he might aspire to.
It is universally recognized
that bankers are conservative
and not given to hasty conclu
sions, and this being true, there
is much significance in the an
nouncement which comes from
authentic sources that the Bank
ers’ Assoication of Arkansas is
emphatically supporting Amend
ment No. 12.
Amendment No. 12 is a mea
sure which people of every poli
tical faith'and interest can con
sistently support. Democrats,
Republicans, Socialists and Sin
gle taxers will alike benefit by its
adoption. It will insure ample
educational facilities for children
whose parents are unable to send
them away to school, and the
stimulation of property values
will more than offset the nominal
increase in the tax rate.
One strong argument in favor
of the proposed rock road is the
fact that the cost will be small on
account of the number of switches
along the railroad for unloading.
There is not a two-mile haul on
the entire road.
Mrs. J. H. Crossett and chil
dren are home from a visit to
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. 0.

Mesdames M. E. Neal and
H. D. Swayze left Monday for a
visit to Little Rock friends and
relatives.
Joseph M. Arnof will receive
his diploma as a graduate from
the University of Michigan next
Monday. Joe is the youngest of
the graduating class and we con
gratulate him upon his success.
Marshal J. G. Pulley spent
Saturday and Sunday with
friends at Wynne. He stated
the people there are very much
interested in and glad to know
that Woodruff County is now try
ing to build a good highway
across the county to their terri
tory.
The white people are not the
only ones interested in the rock
road, Bert McCarroll and John
Spain, two of our best colored
citizens and who own homes in
the district favor the road and
state they are willing to have
their property taxed to help pay
for it.
N. N. “Grandpa’ ’ Cain of
Morton states that he would like
very much to see the rock road
now proposed constructed and
that if it doesn’t cost him more
than four or five dollars a year
on his property located in the
proposed district and which is
assessed at $500.00, he will vote
for it.
