Bronte Yes, Better Roads. Judge Hutchins of Augusta was here the first of the week enroute to Cotton Plant to look after some road building being done there. The Judge is doing everything possible to give us better roads and we are sure that before he will have entered upon the duties of his second term evervone in the county will be talking about Judge Hutchins and the good roads that have been constructed under his adminis tration. He has already been in strumental in the purchase of a tractor road engine and other machinery for Overseer Phillips of Cotton Plant and has recent ly turned over to overseer, J. F. Bronte, eight convicts which the latter gentlemen is now using to great advantage. We know that better roads are bound to come with such men as Hutchins for judge and Bronte for over seers. The effort of a certain clique to make a political issue of A mendmentNo. 12, to be voted on next November, has fallen flat. ‘‘Betterschools’’ bids fair to be come the most popular slogan ever voiced in the state, and the ambitious office seeker who has the temerity to oppose education al progress is certain to be rele gated to deepest oblivion, the wise ones say.

Smead Powell of Camden, the political gossips say, will be a candidate for the United States Senate two years hence to suc ceed Joe T. Robinson. Former Governor Donaghey has already announced his intention of enter ing what promises to be the most interesting senatorial marathon ever pulled off in the state. It is also rumored that Senator Clarke will have opposition in the person of Justice W. F, Kirby.

It is expect ed that at least 400 directors will attend this meeti ng. The average pay of a school teacher in tnis state is less than $36.00 per month. It is absurd to expect capable men and women to remain in a profession so illy paid. Over 1,000 teachers are be ing forced to enter other voca tions every year. Amendment No. 12 will provide a means of paying a decent wage to teachers and securing for Arkansas schools the best talent available. Home For Sale.
