JAMES ENGEL
I For Railroad Commissioner
The duties of the Arkansas
Railroad Commission as pre
scribed by law are that they be
clothed with authority to make
both passanger and freight
rates within the state.
| To see that depots are kept
in a clean and sanitary condi
tion that good and wholesome
water is supplied Passengers,
and that depot waiting rooms
| are comfortable in winter.
I As a matter of fact the
j freight rates are as high or
; higher than they were when
(the commission was created.
A great many of the depots
| are not clean and sanitary,
.very few provide good and
; wholesome prinking water for
! passengers, and most of them
are not warm and comfortable
in the winter months.
Then why continue a man
in office who has done nothing
to war the enforcement of the
duties?
I iviy opponent, mr. r.
Woods, advises against elect
ing inexperienced men to the
office of Railroad Commission
er, and thereby hazzarding the
lives of the American Soldiers.
I In answer I beg to advise
that I was a Railroad Agent
and Cashier for different Rail
roads for 12 years, and no
doubt much better qualified
| than he in the matter of traffic
and transportation, but anyone
knows that the Railroad Com
mission has no more to do with
|the movement of troops than
the Tax Assessor of the coun
ty.
If I am elected, I will ex
haust every effort to obtain
better freight rates, I will go
over the road and see that bet
ter accomodations are accord
ed the traveling public.
And after I am in office one
term and fail to accomplish
more than has been, I will then
know that the Railroad Com
mission is a failure, and will
recommend the abolishment of
same.
I own and am cultivating
400 acres of rice at Hunter,
this county, all I own is in this
county.
My opponent is a candidate
for the THIRD TERM and has
done nothing to merit it.
I hope you will vote for me.
adv. JAMES ENGEL.
On last Sunday afternoon
at 5 o’clock, Mr. C. H. White
of Tupelo, and Mrs. Lola Berry

holy bonds of wedlock. The
ceremony was performed by

home of the bride. The groom
is agent for Ayers-Lord Tie Co.
of Tupelo, and the bride is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.
E. Gross. The Home News
