FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1907
On with the investigation, Mr.
Photon. The whole country ap
plauds the good work being done.
We notice quite an improve
ment in the Newport News since
K. H. Badger has been added to
4rlie editorial staff.
From his testimony in the
Covington trial it seems that Seu
•fttor Jno. A. Hinkle did not go to
the senate merely for his health.
An exchange quotes Mr. Rocke
feller as saying that he loves his
county. Well, why shouldn’t he*
Sle owns more of it than anybody
else, and a man usually thinks a
good deal of his own property.
It is officially announced that
there is now $1,000,000,000 of
gold in the country, which is
about $‘2 for each inhabitant.
Some fellow must have a deucedly
liig sockful of it hid out some
where: we havn’t seen our two
dollars in a long time.
Young men who are looking for
“.soft jobs” or figuring how they
may get something for nothing,
.should ponder well these words of j
Horace Greeley: “The darkest I
tiour in the history of any young
auan is when he sits down to study
bow to get money without honest
J,r earning it.”
The general wave of reform that
« is sweeping over Arkansas is at
tracting favorable comment from
ull parts of the country. The
Memphis News-Scimitar says: !
“The juxtaposition of events as
lifts happen in Arkansas bodes
l.ttle good to boodlers,grafters and
t on conformists with progress. Ar
kansas will probably handle its
own problems and set a beacon
light for the balance of the coun
try. _
The railroads seem to have
abandoned the fight against the
two-cent rate law and Wednesday
: morning all railroads in the state
began selling tickets at the two
cent rate. This rate, however,
applies only to points within the
state, and when going out of the
state passengers will have to pay
the old rate of three cents per
mile. _
A bill was introduced in the
legislature some time ago provid
ing for a county depository for
this county, but the bill seems to
have been shelved somewhere.
The Journal believes the county
depository is a good thing for the
county and for the tax payers, and
we hope our representatives in the
legislature will take up the matter
and see if they cannot pass the
bill.
STATE NEWS ITEMS
Eight brick buildings are in
process of erection at Huntford, to
