FRIDAY MAY 6, 1910
Just think of it. Kavanaugh
spent over $15,000, put in three
months time campaigning and then
only carried two counties in his
race for governor.
Governor Donaghey spent $7,
806.36 and C. C. Kavanaugh spent
$15,188.42 in the recent campaign
for governor, according to state
ments of their campaign expenses
tiled by them with the secretary of
State a few days ago. The
governors office pays $4,000 a
year. _
Lawrence county citizens have
recently formed an organization
for the purpose of advertising
their county at the great Nation
al Land Congress to be held in
November. The Journal would
like to see the people of Indepen
dence county become interested
in a similar movement.
Numerous specimens of Arkan
sas diamonds, from the recently
discovered mines near Little liock
were examined by expert jewelers
in New York this week in an ef
fort to convince them that Arkan
sas is the coming rival of South
Africa. The experts admit that
the Arkansas diamonds are equal
in quality to the best from South
Africa or any other part of the
world. The only difference of opin
ion is as to whether the volcanic!
pipe found in Arkansas contains
stone in sufficient abundance to
make the mine important.
Not until this year has the pub
lic been able to get any definite
idea of what it costs to run for
office in Arkansas. The new law
requiring candidates to tile certi
fied copies of their expense ac
counts has brought out some rath
er startling information for the av
erage man who doesn’t give office
seeking much thought. More than
$40,000 was spent by the candi- j
dates for state offices, C. C. Kava
naugh’s expenses being $15,1 >>8.
The fourteen candidates for con
gress from the seven districts paid
out a total of $16,532 as campaign
expenses. There was perhaps at ]
least $200,000 spent for campaign
expenses by the candidates for offi
ce in the state during the recent
campaign.

LOSES HIS RIGHT HAND
Dynamite Explodes While Young
Man Carried it in his Hand
Batesville. May 2.— While W ill
Doremus was on his way to a
patch of woods near his home at
Desha this afternoon, a stick of
dynamite exploded in his right
hand. The young man was thrown
to the ground by the shock and
his hand was torn off. He was also
badly bruised about the face and
body, it being necessary to take
several stitches in his breast.
Doremus does not know how the
accidentoccured. lie was carrying
the explosive to the woods to blast
out some stumps and used ordin
ary care in handling it.
Neighbors heard the explosion
and carried nim home. He was at
tended later by a Desha surgeon
and his hand amputated above the
wrist.
MRS. ADAL1NE LEE
By request, as well as from a
desire to pay a tribute of respect
to one who was a friend of my
father, mother, brothers and sis
ters, 1 give this note of an humble
but true woman.
She was a native of this state,
and came to Independence county
about 1866. She, w’ith her only
child, then a mere babe, made her
home first with Mr. and Mrs. L.
P. Kay near Paroquet Blufl. From
there, as well as 1 remember, she
went to live with Uncle Dick
Sturch and wife. From there she
came to my father’s with Mary,
who was then about two years old.
She came as one of the family and
remained there until about 1886,
perhaps nearly twenty years.
She professed religion at old
Shady Grove in 1869 and lived a
consistent Christian life until her
death, February 12, 1910. My
mother was indeed a mother to
her and she in turn did as much, or
more in some things, than a
daughter's part, and she always
did whatever she did cheerfully,
and she was always kind and help
ful.
Sometimes real, true woman
hood is not fully known or it* val
ue appreciated until life has been
lived. Then it appears in splen
dor and shines brighter as the un
selfish deeds done while living are
recounted by the surviving ones.
She was poor and humble, but
sincere, gentle and kind. Her end
was peaceful and no doubt she
rests in the home of the righteous.
May God bless her only daugh
ter, Mrs. Mary Tilley, between
whom and she the strongest bonds
of love and affection always existed.
She was buried at SulphurRoek,
G. W. Jernigan conducting the
funeral services.
So passed away an unpretentious
woman, who was always helpful,
kind and sympathetic.
Jas. F. Jekmoan.

POOR SCHOOL SYSTEM
The common school system
should be the very best that could
be devised, instead of the poorest,
as it is in many Southern States.
Few people know the true position
of Arkansas in educational mat
ters. Her school year aver
ages 93.3 days, and is the shortest
of any state in the Union; barely
£4.97 is raised per capita of the
school population, and in 1903-7.
220,321 out of 4*6,402 children of
school age—less than half — were
attending school. The compul
sory education law, passed by
the last legislature, applies to only
thirty-four of the seventy-five
counties, although 21 per cent of
the white adult population can
neither read or write. County
superintendents are elected in on
ly four counties, and many rural
school directors are illiterate. For
tunately, the boastful period of
the state's life is over. One no
longer hears “Arkansas has the
grandest school system in the
United States.” Instead it is seen
that the system must be improved
or our people will fall behind for
lack of knowledge. They must
learn the value of knowledge and
this must come through the schools
