The Craighead County News, of
Nettleton, is a new paper edited
by \Y. F. lemons, formerly of the
Christian Pilot at Black Bock.
The News is o. k. and we exchange
with pleasure.
Senator Hinkle's bill placing the
s.ilurj of the Independence circuit
clerk at $1,SOU, the county clerk
at $2,100, assessor $700 and treas
urer $800 per annum, passed the
house without a dissenting vote.
We have received a copy of
house bill No. 20.1, by K* prttenta
tive Myers, of Lawrence, to pro
vide for a state reform school. 1 in
institution is badly needed and w<
hope l)r. Myers will succeed in
passing the bill.
There is onl,\ one suggestion wt
have to offer in regard to what ha?
become of the road fund Arkansas
has received from the federal gov
eminent. The mon<\\ has pro!)
ably been spent by the legislator*
for newspapers and stamps.
We hope the house ways am
means committee’s investigatior
" of the charges against tiovernoi
Davis ami his charges angninst th*
penitentiary board will bethorougl
and complete. An investigatioi
that only whitewashes matters i.<
worse than no investigation. D<
your duty, gentlemen, ami hew t*
the line, let the chips fall where
they may. The law should be n<
respecter of persons, and if then
has been a gross violation of tin
law by any one connected with tin
matter, the guilty party or parti*a
should pay the penalty. Tin* peo
ple are becoming tired of the
everlasting squabble between tin
state officials.

The communication from lion.
John Hindman published in to
day's paper will be found of inter
est to every tax payer. VVlmt has
become of the $275,000 the state
has received from the federal gov
ernment? That is a question of
vital importance to the people of
the state and the matter should be
investigated. If it has been spent
the people have a right to know it,
and to know for what purpose it
was spent. It certainly lias not
been spent on the public roads, and
if this money is in the state treas
ury it is high time something was
being done to secure its expendit
ure in a wise and economical man
ner on the public roads of the state.
A NOTORIOUS FAKE.
Of all the fake individuals it lias
ever been our misfortune to run
up against, one O. T, Adams, of
Little Rock, who operates under
the assumed name of the Southern
Stamp Co., is entitled to recogni
tion as the champion of the gang.
Some time ago we sold him a <5 x 9
hand printing press for SjvS, which
is well worths?!2. A description
of the press had been furnished
him and he agreed to pay for it
upon its delivery at Little Rock.
When the pro-- arrived it seems
that he procured an expert ma
chinist, took a magnifying glass
and proceeded to make a minute
examination, which ho, of course,
had a right, to do; but, lo! and be
hold, they found a small coil spring
broken, which fact we had failed
to mention in our description, but
which we later agreed to pay for,
On this thin pretense of an excuse
and after our proposition to pay
for the broken spring, he refused
to pay for the press and we were
compelled to either lose the press
1 or have it returned and lose the
freight charges both ways.
A man who will act a hog over
a matter of *25 cents, and especially
after a proposition has been made
him to refund the amount, is nota
safe man to do business with and
would steal if it were not for fear
of the law. The bretheren are re
quested to warn their readers to
steer clear of this take outfit.
Murphy Scores Davis.
Little Rock Feb. RL— Eighteen
' hundred people crowded into the
' Capital theater last night to hear
Attorney General Murphy address
the members of the legislature on
Gov. Davis and his administra
tion. Fully (500 people were de
■ nied admission for want of room.
! Delegations from adjoining count
" ies composed of prominent demo
crats occupied seats in the balco
ny and dress circle. Col. Murphy
reviewed Gov. Davis’ official ca
reer from the time he entered the
attorney general’s offi< e four years
i.go up to the present tune, laying
particular stress upon his conduct
as governor. He charged the
governor with corruption in office
and specified a number of acts
| where t tie governor hail misappro
priated fund- entrusted to hi
care by the state. He read from
the records in the auditor's office
showing that the governor had
used a huge portion «>t his con
tingent fund for private purposes
1 and referred to the fact that the
! ways and means committee had
' i discovered the same irregularities
i land would so report to the house.
‘ I He dosed with a strong appeal to
'the legislature lo make a thorough
> | investigation ami if what he said
’ | wa- nut true t<> impeach him
s | (Murphy) and if what I c said was
[ true to impeach Gov. Davis. The
' speech made a strong impression

One thing is certain,—
Ayer s Hair Vigor makes

because it is a hair food.
It feeds the hair and the

WHERE IS THE MONEY?
To the Editor of The Journal.
1'lease allow space in your paper
for a communication, which I
think, will be of general interest
lo the public, or, at least, to the
citizens of Arkansas.
The subject on which 1 wish to
call attention is in regard to cer
tain money that has been paid to \
the state of Arkansas by the!
United States government for the
purpose of building public roads
and canals.
In accordance with the compact
entered into between the United
States and the state of Arkansas
uprm the admission of the state
into the Union, the third section
of said compact reads as follows :
‘‘That five per cent of the net
proceeds from the sale of lands
lying within the said state and
which shall lie sold by congress
from and after the first day of
July next, after deducting all ex
penses incidental to the same,
shall he reserved for making pub- j
lie roads and canals within the j
said state, under the dire< lion of j
the general assembly thereof. "
The state was admitted into t lie |
! Union in June, 183(>, and this f
money lias been falling due to the i
! otatc s lice the tii st of July of ihat
year, and the following letter
from the commissioner of the
general land office, informs us of
| the amount of money that the
J state lias received for the purpose !
set forth in the compact.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 7, 1903. 1
Mr. .John Hindman,
Newark, Arkansas.
Sir: In reply to your Inquiry of the
31st, ultimo, you are informed that
the amount accrued and paid to the
state of Arkansas under Act of (long*
! ress approved dune 23. 1830, (3 st at. 38;
j on account of the five per cent fund,
j up to and including tlie fiscal year
[ending June 30, 1901, i> $271 .">02.30;
| and that a statement of account show
ing 93,803.34 accruing to the state of
I Arkansas for tlie fiscal year ending
June 30, 1902, was forwarded by this
office, on the 3th. ultimo, to the Aud
itor for the Interior Department, for
; Liis action thereon.
Very respectfully,
\V. A. Richards,
Commissioner.
Now, Mr. Editor, what 1 want
to do is to find some one who can
tell what has been done with the j
money, If there lias been a rod
t of load or canal constructed in
the st de with this fund, I have
failed to hear of it after years of
; inquiry, or to see to see a man
who claimed to know anything
about i». Time seems to be lots
of people “going wild” on the
good loads question, so let us
look this tiling up, and if the
state has received this money, as
we know she has, and has not ap
propriated it as per contract, let
us set her to shoveling mud on
I the highways, and this will go a
long ways toward solving the
good roads problem.
Y ours,
John Hindman.
