Judge J. C. Floyd of Yell
ville, the only candidate for
the democratic nomination for
Governor, living north of the
Arkansas river, addressed the
voters here Wednesday. The
speaking took place in the
Royal Theatre which was filled
with people from within town
and the surrounding country.
Judge Floyd is a clear and
forceful speaker and waded
into his subject in a matter of
fact manner. 11 is remark
were received with hearty ap
plause, especially whtn he pre
scribed some of the remedies
which he promises to put into
operation and effect in regard
to management of the state in
stitutions and the exercise of
the pardoning power. Along
that line, he quoted from a re
cent statement of Secretary of
State, Tom J. Terra 1 as fol
k ws, the same being taken
. om th< Gazette cf July C>:
“The penitentiary is not self
> Gaining because certain men
are robbing the state cf the
\. ,1 ;. l ie said that Ex-Sen
atoi Calvert Of Ft. Smith and
Commission t John McCuiston
own a farm near Cummins,
cultivated by the state’s con
victs and that McCuiston’s son
in-law cleared 60 acres with
convict labor. He declared
that Hamilton Moses, John L.
Carter, Herbert Wilson and
Walter B. Hollingsworth each
have negro women convicts as
household servants and that
hr. M ses sent one to Calhoun
| county to take care of his un
i cle and aunt.”
Commenting on Mr. Terral’s
s atement, Judge Floyd observ
ed that no denial had been
i vi.fished so far as he had
been able to fityl and that
th witness is a truthful man.
He declared that on assum
thc duties of governor one
of his first official acts shall be
' ■ • Cl. o n CV1IV4 L11V/i
<u . !: investigation of the pen
itt ntiary management and of
11h; r state institutions. And
that if such conditions as have

Urn . he pledges the people
; that speedy and stern measur
es will be taken to recover to
the state treasury whatever
n nue it may have been un
lawfully deprived of; and that
prosecutions shall be vigorous
ly pushed, to the end that de
served punishment shall fall
npoa all who may be guilty of
fraud against the state.
In this connection, Judge
FI yd declared that he was
against abolishing the walls of
the penitentiary as had been
advocated by Smead Powell,
! ui is rather id favor of build
u.g them higher and stronger,
necessary, to hold those who
belong < n the inside of the
' alls, and then to abolish Gov

Dixon One of World's Great Thinkers
Thomas Dixon, one of the
most notable figures in the
world of American literature,
and author cf the “Birth of a
Nation,” has contributed anoth
er masterpiece to the screen in
the adaption of his widely
read book, “The One Woman’
“The One Woman” is one
of the greatest achievement
of the screen. It is a Master
cral't production, which Select
Pictures presents as a special
production.
“The One Woman” with it;
wealth of plot material and
incident, as a book, represent
ed a difficult task to adapt foi
motion picture purposes. Sev
eral well known writers at
tempted it, but none succeeded
in meeting the requirements oi
Mr. Dixon until the adaption
hich has just been completed j
. Hairy Chandlee. The difii- j
culty lay in the condensation of
ti c book with all its interest
ing qualities and its big theme
to proper length for presenta- ,
tion on the screen without los
ing any of the merits of the 1
original story.
When Mr. Dixon’s “The One s
V, c-man” first appeared in
book form upon the book-shel
ves of this country it created a j
wide sensation. It was an in
staneous hit. It couldn’t pos- [
sibly help but be. It took the
country by storm ,as the pic- ?
lure, adapted from the novel is
bound to do. The picture is (
sure to be a success because .
Mi. Dixon had a gigantic
theme for the strong, virile
st ry which he turned out.

Clark was on the mound for
Paid Knob and was accorded
excellent support, with the re
sult that Newark did net se
cure a single run until the last
of the seventh when Thomas
landed a safe hit over first
base and gave Sneed a clear
track for home.
“Tommy” Self pitched for
Newark and never did he work
harder for a victory than in
this game, and his friends de
clare it was the best game he I
ever pitched. Self allowed the j
visitors only -1 hits a nd struck
out 15 men.
In the eighth Freeze ran in
the score that defeated Raid
Knob and the same time up
*«lf added one to the list whir*7
gave Newark three and Raid;
Knob one.

Thomas Crown Mowers |
arc made in 1 1-2 and 5 foot sizes, of the very best
materials, and each machine is carefully built and is
run and lully tested before leaving the factory.
i he Crown is a heavier built machine than any
machine we know of today, but it will run lighter. _It
has an extra heavy wheel, 4 1-2 inches across the rim.
- he weight ol the machine is more directly over the
axle, giving greater traction and increased cutting
force.
All gears are enclosed in a dust proof box, and
run in oil, just like the gears on an automobile. The ^
double speed enables you to cut heavy or light grass J
without any excessive vibration. You do not have to a
make your team trot to keep a Crown cutting in hea- 1
vy grass.
Come in and let us show you this machine, or if
you cannot come in and are interested, let us send
you a folder describing this mower.
