It is estimated that the propos
ed amendment to the state consti
tution providing for an increase
in the school tax levy, carried by
between ‘20,000 and 30,000.
Next to the parents the school
teachers come nearest to the child,
and in many instances the teacher
lias more to do with the bending
and training of a child than its
parents. _________
How are the political spell-bind
ers who delight in skinning the
“soulless corporations'’ going to
speak of that hundred million dol
lar corporation the Southern Cot
ton Association is organizing?
Attorney-General Robert L.
Rogers, who was editor of the
Southern Breeze, a monthly mag
azine, the tirst number of which
appeared in dune last, has sold his
interest in the publication to Sec
retary of State O. C. Ludwig, who
•succeeds Mr. Rogers as editor.
The State Republican is making
its usual cry of fraud in the elec
tion; but the State Republican has
done this with such persistent reg
ularity that the people expect
nothing else. If the State Re
publican knows of so much fraud
why does it not dig up some of it
and have the perpetrators indicted?
Any old half-witted harlot can
cast insinuations.
It is reported from Wrightsville
that Dr. J. B. Basham of that
place has 20 acres of Skeleton
Deaf cotton which he thinks will
make two bales to the acre. He
claims to have the only cotton of
that kind in the state, and says
that he raised -ome of it last year
that made three bales to the acre.
This sounds a little unreasonable
but it might be worth investigat
ing. _
According to figures collected
by the department of education,
the school property in the state
has increased a half million dollars
during the past year. One year
ago the property was valued at
$3,171,361, and this year the val
uation is given at $3,607,733. Dur
ing the year there were held 104
county institutes by the county
examiners, with 6,747 teachers in
attendance, as compared with an
attendance of 5,7S3 at the 101 in
stitutes of the previous year. The
attendance for the past year was
33 per cent., as compared with 70
! per cent for the previous year,
j which is very commendable and
| shows that the people are begin
ning to properly appreciate the
value of the public schools.
Hooker Washington speaks a
word of .timely warning and ad
vice to the negro when he declares
that lynchers and the persons who
cause lynching* are the worst ene
mies of the race. After asserting
that the Southland is the best
! place for the negro to live, the
Tuskegee educator says that if it
were not for black criminals, the
negro would have now a higher
standing than he has, and better
opportunities for advancement.
Lynchers are blamed, but it is
I pointed out that there would be
no lynchers if they were not pro
voked by crime.
Tuesday, October 9, has been
I designated as Farmers Union Day
|at the state fair to be held at Hot
Springs, October 1st to 10th. The
farmers can add materially to the
1 attractiveness of the state fair by
| sending specimens of their farm
I products, but so far as The Jour
I nal knows, there has been no ar
| rangements made for an exhibit of
|any kind from thiscounty. Inde
jpendence county leads the state
in the production of corn, cotton
and alfalfa and the Farmers Union
could do a good deed for both it
self and the county by collecting a
creditable display of farm pro
ducts and sending them down to
the state fair.
! RAN FY’S GOOD JUDGMENT
The result of the recent election
i in this senatorial district proves
j that Hon. T. J. Raney had stud
I ied the situation pretty closely and
knew what he was doing when he
withdrew from the senatorial con
test. In the statement issued a
few weeks before the election, in
which he announced his withdraw
al, Mr. Raney said he felt that if
all three of the Democrats then in
the race should continue the tight,
it would result in the election of
the Republican candidate, and the
final returns show that he was
right.
Judge Cole, the Republican can
didate, received a total of 1,571
votes in the district, Mr. Hinkle
1,1S5 and Mr. Edmondson 1,712.
Supposing Mr. Raney to have been
the strongest Democrat in the race,
he could not, with the other Dem
ocrats in the Held, have overcome
the vote given Mr. Cole.
The total votes given the two
Democrats was 2,897, which, with
the three Democrats in the Held,
would probably have been pretty
nearly equally divided, and the re
sult would have been not more
than a thousand or eleven hun
dred votes for the leading Demo
crat. Then say there were poss
ibly 200 Democrats who voted for
Judge Cole who would have voted
for Mr. Raney, thus reducing
Cole’s vote to 1871, we find that
by adding this reduction to Mr.
Raney's possible 1,100, would have
given him only 1,300 against 1,
-'.71 for Cole.
Mr. Raney’s keen political fore
sight saved the Democratic party

WHAT THE RETURNS SHOW
The returns from the recent
election in this county show that
road tax was the most popular
subject voted upon, only '>2:2 votes
being cast against the tax. The
greatest opposition to the road
tax was in Greenbrier township,
where 70 votes were cast against!
tax. The township went for tax,
however, by a little over two to
one. That township also polled
the largest vote against license of
any township in the county, ex
cept liuddell.
Cushman township is the ban
ner anti-license township and its
per centage majority for amend
ment No. S is the second largest
in the county.
To Logan township belongs the !
distinction of casting the largest
majority in favor of amendment
No. 8, the vote of that township
being 30 to 1 in favor of the
amendment, and Barren township
cast the largest majority against
the amendment.
Big Bottom township gave the
largest majority for license and
Ruddell was second in favor of li
cense. _
A GOOD SHOWING
In the recent election the vai
ious Democratic candidates receiv
ed majorities ranging approxi
mately from 700 to 1500, being
governed considerably by the per
sonal popularity of themselves and
their Republican opponent.
In this connection we must
say that, considering the popular
ity and prestige of the Republican
nominee for circuit clerk, Walter
R. Baxter of Batesville, our
friend Cul L. Pearce made an ex
cellent showing—as good, if not
better, perhaps, than any of the
Democratic nominees. The Re
publican county organization
made a strong tight for Mr. Bax
ter, whom we understand they are
coaching fora federal appointment
of some kind in the near future,
and they made an effort to bring
him out ahead of the balance of
the county ticket. Mr. Baxter,
of course, fell in line also and
made a personal canvass of nearly
the entire county. But despite the
strong tight the Republicans made!
for their man, Mr. Pearce came
out with a clear majority of near
ly 1200, which The Journal con
siders a decidedly good showing
under such conditions.
STATE UNIVERSITY
Fayetteville, S$pt. 12. The
university will be opened for the
scholastic year September IP and
it is estimated that the enrollment
will reach 1,200. Many students I
will work this year to help pay
their expenses. Last year several
women did household work for
their board, and this service was
fairly satisfactory. This year the
demand for trirls to assist in house
work to help pay their board ex
ceeds the applications filed.
