Petitions were intend

The legislature has enough to
do if it will pass laws effecting
tho state at large. Ithas no earth
ly business meddling with local
i ffairs only in an emergency. Is
it. right, to allow a hundred men
not. interested in the welfare of
Woodruff Co. in the least to say,
what we shall have or what wej
shall not have locally? I think I
not and when petitions seek to
have them do so, there is a bug
under the chip somewhere. Do
you think Woodruff Co. would
have voted a District Court at
Cotton Plant? Never. Did peti
tions accomplish it? Yes, they
and some “for 4 thousand dollars.
Would the people vote a four wire
fence? No. Our legislature is be
ing or rather has already been
converted into a method of giv
ing the few what they can't get1
legitimately. You call this demo-!
cracy? I call it h.vpocricy. Why |
not have an election? Well you say \
why rh)esnTt he vote when he
signs? No. The average signer j
doesn't pay enough attention to
a-petition to have an honest opin-1
i«m on the subject.
Do you think Woodruff county [
is in favor of adding any part
of White Co. toits domain? Nev- ]
or. The majority is opposed to
it. But for the sake of victory,
the minority use that easy thing
the legislature, to assist them
out of the soup. •
We are opposed to all petitions
used in such a way. Whenever:
people can’t be permitted to have !
a say in matters concerning
themselves, then we are no more
a democratic form of government.
If this is a free country, with
n government of the people, for
the people and by the people,
then give the citizen his consti
tutional right. Let the Declara
tion of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States I
be a living memorial to our saint
ed dead and not a fabled romance.
i On hist Frida' morning, Tomas
| Cat Greer, Bill Collier and Tom
Arnold were somewhere south
of Fair Oaks among the beauti
fu( orchestras of frogs and in the
delightful company of Buffalo
Gnats, seeking to unload their
guns on some of the gobbling
kind. The Thomas Cat, as is al
ways his luck was the only hero
in the crowd of Gnat Fighters,
he having killed one of the afore
said and the same, weighing
somewhere in the neighborhood
of 30 lbs. Bill Collier, who had
the promise of the first turkey to
be killed, of course was delighted
at the prospects of sin elegant
dinner. This, however, was not
sufficient for our Bill, so he be
gins to use the “Longest pole
knocks the persimon” racket on
our Tomas Cat. No Sir! I’ll never
do it. I shot the turkey and said
honor belongs to me. What of
that? You won’t know anything
about it one hundred years from j
now. Here, I’ll give you a dollar
for the honor of killing that fowl.
“No Sir. You can never get the
honor only over my dead bones.”
Of course, this settled the ques
tion forever. This is one instance,
where the Longest Pole was of
no avail. Wonld to Heaven we had
more Tomas Cat.
Had you ever thought of the
cost of that Cummins Farm with
its luxuriant growth of Johnson
Grass? It Cost $140,(XX). to begin
with. It cost the fortynine day
extention, which will cost some
thing like $50,(XX). Then the ex
pense of the Investigation Com
mittee, with its typewriters,
s heriffs and deputies, the fees
for witnesses to testify and their
mileage. Then the printingof two
thousand copies of the testimony
as obtained by the committee,
costing in the neighborhood of
$10,000. Making the grand total
of aboot$200,000. What have we
for this vast expenditure of
money? We have a sand bar ac
cording to the report of the com
mittee it is k infested with John
son Grass and with the same ex
cellent fertilizer scattered over
the second third and one third
without the fertilizer. Jeff Davis
is still Governor and that is worth
something.

The citizens of McCrory should
invest their money at home and
not abroad. Organize Something
at home. Have confidence in i
yourself and don’t conclude that i
because it is somewhere else,you !
are safe. Keep your interest to-j
gether and build up the town
where you made your start.
When you do otherwise yon are
trying to kill your own town by
building un another. Our towm
has all advantages (-file other
towns of the County and many
more. Its health cannot be du
plicated in the County;it is more
centrally located than any other
town: it has better railroad ser
vice than any other town: in the
County. This is a splendid place
for an oil-milJ. We have more
territory than either Cotton.
Plant or Augusta; A bank is an'
indispensable factor and mustj
come ere long, nothing gives!
more permanency to a town than
a bank and a newspaper. Do
something and from active in
dustry, all are benefitted, a saw-j
mill and hoop factory are need
ed; a creamery would do a won-;
derful business here. Why not
beautify home and be a people to;
move" on ourselves? Let us stndy
this matter over and do and dare.
It mi y puzzle tlie e< n.ndttce
to decide matters t'> itg > against
the grain, but the people of Ark
ansas will make short work of
the matter at the next election.
There isn’t a man in the state
that can win a rictwj over Jeff
for third term for Governor. Not j
even the Pad-Lock forger of!
New Jersey.
