horseshoe nails, that same iron is
worth perhaps $250 per ton. and if
made up into watch springs it is

Had I wanted to cover up anything
that might have been wrong in my
office, I certainly would not have se
lected an honorable man like Col.
Thornburgh to audit same. He agreed
to do the work, and as a matter of
fairness to all concerned, and that no
question might be raised, he employ
ed the same accountants to audit my
books tlvat had audited the Either
offices. 1 attach hereto his letter,
which shows for itself:
"Messrs. Pike, Crofton & Co.,
Memphis. Tenn.
•‘Gentlemen:—This will authorite
you to audit the books and accounts
of the office of Hon. Earle W. Hodges.
Secretary of State, with the under
standing that the work is to be done
by Messrs. I. H. Beebe and 0. A.
Russell, the accountants who have re
cently been auditing the hooks at
the State Capitol, under the direction
of the legislative committee.
"We shall expect a thorough inves
tigation made, without partiality or
prejudice, and report made to the un
dersigned.
“The matter of terms has been
agreed upon with Messrs. Beebe and
Russell, and 1 shall expect you to go
to work at once and complete same at
the earliest possible moment.
"Yours very truly,
"GEO. V HORN BURGH.”
It will be observed that he em
ployed Messrs. Beebe and Russell to
audit my office, and they were the
ones that were in the employ of this
legislative committee. If they did
honest work for the legislative com
mittee, who can say that they would
nqt do honest work for the Hon.
George Thornburgh? And what right
has this committee to question their
report when working under Mr. Thorn
burgh, when they, themselves, had
the same committee employed?
Col. Thornburgh's Report.
Messrs. Beebe and Russell took
up the work in my office immediately
and made the report to the Hon.
George Thornburgh on the 5th of Oc
tober. The substance of this report
was published in the daily papers
soon thereafter. Mr. Thornburgh, in
commenting on this report, made tne
following statement:
“I think 1 am justified in saying
that this report is indeed creditable
to Mr. Hodges, as it covers a period
of about three and one-hulf years, and

an amount of over two hundred and
seventeen thousand dollars, with
every cent accounted for, and accord
ing to Mr. Hodges’ receipts,
over, which was paid in two or three
years ago. The accountants in the
discharge of their duties call attention
to the fact that certain amounts
should have been received by the sec
retary of state, but they cannot say
they were ever received by him. Mr.
Ilodges explnins this in a statement
which is hereto attached
“In regard to the system of book
keeping, which the accountants criti
cised, if is proper to say that they
found the same system in vogue in all
the state offices, and in order to
change it in one office, it will be pro
per to change'it in all. The system
was not adopted by any of the pres
ent state officers and they are not re
sponsible for it.
"Yours truly,
I
“GEO. THORNBURGH.”
Dr. Brough, in his effort to preju
dice the people against me, does not
hesitate to make any kind of a charge,
regardless of the kind of a charge.'
He states that 1 had on deposit 'n
the hanks of Idltle Rock, in my own
name, $217.000.00, which should have!
been in the state treasury. The *eul
facts are that I received checks in
most every mail every day, and these)
checks could not he turned over tc,
the state treasurer himself. I would
deposit them in the bank daily and at j
the end of the month 1 would settle
with the state treasurer for all of the
money received by me during the
month. 1 have his receipts for ovei
$217,000 00. When the accountants:
completed the work in my office, it |
was clearly shown that the $217,000.00
received by me during the three and
a half years’ time had been turned
over to the state treasurer and I bad
his receipts for ‘lie same.
He leaves the impression that I had
deposited at one time over $200,000
in a bank, when he well knew (or lie
could easily have found out with slight
Investigation) that such a statement
was wholly without foundation and
absolutely false.
Now, he claims to be a lawyer, yet
he misconstrued the law' of Section
1991 of Kirby's Digest when ho made
the charge that I had violated that
section by depositing the funds men
tioned above in a bank.
The last Legislature passed a law
requiring that settlements be made
daily with the state treasurer. I am
complying with that law to the letter,
and with all other laws of the state.
This could also be ascertained by the
profound doctor of philosophy if he
were at all inclined to search for and
state the truth.
Conclusion.
If Dr. Uorugh is so pressed for
issues in this campaign that he will
stoop to such tactics as the above,
how can the people of Arkansas put
faith in any statement that he makes?
He seems to have gone wild in his
efforts to splatter mud at me and to
create a false Impression In the min is
of the people. Gradually the voters
of the state are learning the trim
character 01 this man Brough -this
Imported, poetical, tax dodging, hign- I
browed college professor; and if I
read the signs of the tun^s correctly i
they will resent wit a their votes the
tactics he has employed In this cam :
paign by burying him beneath an 1
avalanche of honest votes.

DIFFER ON TEMPORARY STARS
Astronomers Have Two Views as to
How the Somewhat Mysterious
Bodies Originate.
Most of the textbooks suggest that
temporary stars, or “novae,” ir,ay re
sult either from the collision of two
bodies in space or from a sudden ex
plosion or eruption of a single body.
Professor Halo, in his recent review
of the last ten years' work at Mount
Wilson, states that a more plausible
hypothesis is that of a faint star sud
denly plunging into a gaseous nebula.
The spectra of novae, after passing
through remarkable, changes, have usu
ally been supposed to correspond
closely in their last visible stage with
the spectra of nebulae. Observations
at Mount Wilson, however, are in har
mony with an observation of Hart
mann in showing that there is, at least
in some cases, a still later stage, in
which the characteristic lines of the
nebular spectrum disappear, as if the
star had filially passed out of thp ne
bula which caused its sudden outburst
of luminosity. On this hypothesis, the
temporary brightness of these stars
would be analogous to that of a me
teorite passing through the earth's at
mosphere and raised to incandescence
by friction.-—Scientific American.
