It will be Vemembered that
Sercy Hawkins and his confed-
erates stole two mules a month
ago from W. E. McCarty at
Robberson and the thieves and
mules were both caught in De
Queen, Ark. The same parties
about the same time stole two
horses from a Mr. Foster near
Alex, and one of the horses cap-
tured at the time by the Arkan-
sas authorities, but Hawkins
daimtd he had sold the other to
army agents. One night the
first of last week about a dozen
men went to the Sulphur jail

TIRED OF COTTON
W. T. Wharton, a west side
farmer was in the city Tuesday.
Mr. Wharton said he was through
with cotton as his main crop, he
wants less cotton, and more hogs
cattle and coits. less corn on up
land, more wheat and oats, and
feed crops, lots of milk, butter
poultry and other stuff on which
to live, and to quit carrying his
living home in paper sacks. If all
the farmers of Garvin county
should adopt the suggestions of
Mr. Wharton this country would
in a few years be the most pros-
perous country in the world.
THOMASON WINNER
Jonn B. Thomason, of Mem
phis, Tenn., was last week elect
ed comi .roller of the state
Treasurer by the legislature at
Nashville. It is the most im-
portant office which the Legisla-
ture of Tennessee has to fill,
and the fight for the place was a
notable one from the time the
legislature met. There were
four aspirants for the place put
forward by their friends, and for
a week the newspapers reported
first one and then another ahead. I
but when the democratic caucus
met last Thursday, the four can-
didates were nominated, 44 votes
being necessary for a choice, and
Mr Thomason won on the first
ballot with a majority of 19
votes over all the other three
candidates

of Judge Chas. H. Thomason of
this city, and, from the pic-
tures in the Tennessee papers of
John B. there is a striking re-
semblance between the two
brothers.

fact Mr. Hawkins of the Free
Lance admitted. The law fur-
ther provides than any paper
may, on account of fire or other
casualties, be suspended for a
period of 14 days and not loose
its legal standing, but the testi-
mony and admissions showed the
Free Lance had not beed mailed
for practically a month, and that
it could not have the general cir-
culation in the county required by
law, and the commissioners could
not have given the Free Lance
the printing at any price what-
ever.
As to another statement of the
Free Lance that the Enterprise
and Democrat have alternated
every year since statehood on the
county printing at 75c a square
The facts on this are that since
January 1st, 1910, the county
printing has b^en done at 55c a
square, until the first of January
1914. when the Democrat took
the printing free until the 1st of
July 1914 and from July 1, 1914
to December 31, 1914, we receiv-
ed 75 cents a square, making for
the whole year 37£c a square.
This was done because there was
no money with which to pay for
the printing from the first half
of the year, and the commission-
ers were pleased to accept the
Democrats offer as above stated.
Judge R. McMillan has been
appointed as Assistant Attor-
ney General.
