Drag, Brother, Drag.
Drag, brother, drag; once or twice will be enough,
Drag, brother, drag; wheels won’t sink into a rut,
Every time you strike a cut. teams won’t worry if you’ll
but
Drag, brother, drag.
Twont take long to fix a road, drag, brother, drag;
If you’d pull a bigger load. drag, brother, drag;
It means dollars in the end, saved on teams and wagons,
friend,
So to this your best ear lend —
Drag, brother, drag.
And if at first you don’t succeed, drag, brother, drag;
If one trip don’t fill the need, drag, brother, drag,
If a shower of rain has passed, and the sun shines out at
last,
While the roads are drying fast, drag brother, drag.
Every time you drag the road, drag, brother, drag;
Lighter to your team the load, drag, brother, drag;
It will pay you every time, just to see your horses smile,
As they quickly trot a mile, drag, brother, drag.
Gabe will come along and see, drag, brother, drag;
How a good road ought to be, drag, brother, drag;
When he get’s home he’ll take his pen, and write you as
the best of men.
You’ll be mighty famous then -drag, brother, drag.

-DAY SESSION
AMENDMENT IS
UPHELD BY COURT
ghest State Tribunal Says
Amendment Was Legally
Advertised and Regularly
Submitted.
Amendment No. 13 voted upon
the last general election as a
■t of the State Constitution,
1 limiting the regular session
the General Assembly to 60
ys, was upheld in a decision of
e* Arkansas Supreme Court,
mled down this morning and
irming the findings of the ru
sk i County Chancery Court.
The validity of the amendment
d been attacked by House mem
rs, who wanted to have the
?asures tested out before being
plied, in order to avoid any
lestion of legality that might
■ise afterwards regarding mea
ires passed during the legislat
ive term. Among the charges
was the contention that the pro
posed rmendment had not been
properly advercised; also that it
had been irregularly submitted.
All these contentions are knocked
out by the Supreme Court and
legality of the amendment up
held.
As a sequel to the court’s find
ing. the two blanches of the Gen
eral Assembly will meet in joint
session this afternoon and dec
lare the amendment a part of the
constitution.
The decree of the court is un
usually interesting since already
about half the present session
has passed, with much vital leg
islation yet to come.

SENATE PASSES
LIQUOR MEASURE
Bill Regulating Interstate
Shipment of Intoxicants
Adopted by a Viva
Voce Vote
Washington, Feb. 10—The Sen
ate tonight, by a viva voce vote,
passed the Webb liquor bill al
ready passed by the house, as a
substitute for the Kenyon Shep
pard bill.
The Webb bill would prohibit
shipments of intoxicating liquors
from one state to another when
intended to be received or sold
in violation of law of the state to
which the shipment is made.
Friends of the legislation now
will seek to have the house con
cur in the Senate bill, which diff
ers from the bill passed by the
house only in number. Should
that be done, the bills would not
be considered in conference, but
the measure passed by the Sen
ate will go to the president for
signature.
The substitution of the Webb
bill for the Kenyon-Sheppard bill
came at the close of prolonged
debate and was by viva voce
vote, no roll call being demand
ed.
Here is a message of hope and good
cheer from Mrs. (J. J. Martin, Boone
Mill, Ya., who is the mother of eigh
teen children. Mrs. Martin was cured
of stomach trouble and constipation by
Chamberlain’s Tablets after five years
of sulFering, and now recommedds
these tablets to the public. Sold by

THE "WHISKEY BILL”
Rushed Through the House
Monday Morning By
Vote of 73 to 21.
The House of Representatives
presented an interesting scene
Monday, when the Senate bill af
fecting the liquor interests of the
State came up for final passage.
The galleries were filled and al
most the available standing room
on the floor was “occupied by in
terested men and several women.
The bill, “wise heads” say,
means Statewide ft prohibition
after Dec. 31 1913, when it is to
become operative. It was intro
duced in the Senate by 19 Senat
ors and shot through that body
to the House where it finally pass
sed, amid cheering, Monday by
a vote of 73 to 21.
The measure is now up to the;
governor for his approval. He
is in Washington and is not ex
pected back until after Wednes
day.
It is not thought that acting
Governor Oldham will take up
the bill, unless Governor Robin
son does not return before the
five-day limit allowed the execut
ive for passing on a bill.
The measure forces prospect
ive saloonists to obtain the ap
proval of a majority of the
“white adults” in a given com
munity, to a saloon, and bars
negroes from signing.
The constitutionality of the
measure will probably be tested.

S colds than Chamberlain’s Cough Rem

i pectoration; and restores the system to

HELP EACH OTHER SOCIETY
This Society met with Mrs, C.
B. Andrews Thursday night and
after business, they went to Mrs.
.J. M. Pittman’s as a surprise to
Miss Mosher. They rendered a
program there and were delight
ed by talks from Miss Dees and
Miss Mosher.
They went as a surprise but
the surprise was for them when
they were served with hot choc
late and sandwiches.
After being thus refreshed we
departed for home with a new
determination to make more vi
sits to Mrs. Pittman's.
NERVOUS 6IRLS
Most persons who live in large
cities work too hard and play too
hard. The result an exhausted
nervous system, is pitiful en nigh
in middle age, but it is tragic in
the young. Nature never inten
ded a young girl to know she has
any nerves. And yet we con
stantly hearing that some young
girl has “broken down.” Over
study gets the blame much often
er than too much amusement, but
in most cases there are several
causes at work: necessary school
work, unnecessary and siliy dis
sipation, and an inherited ner
vous system that is feeble.
A mother who has herself be
come a nervous bankrupt cannot
bequeath strong nerves to her
daughters. She must learn that
only the wisest management
will bring them to healthy wo
manhood at all.
The strain of getting a mod
ern education is all that most
young girls can stand. School
duties ought to occupy almost all
the time that is left from absolut
ely necessary rest, sleep, and re
laxation in the open air. If the
girl adds parties and dances with
their late hours and late suppers,
she depletes her reserve force
rapidly, and some'degree of ner
vous breakdown is sure to follow.
She is fortunate whose mother is
old-fashioned enough to think it
wrong for schoolgirls to t a k e
part in that sort of dissipation.
Economic conditions oblige
many young girls to earn their
living, and they too, must lear.i
that the candle cannot be burn
ed at both ends. The very young
and very strong may be able to
stand all day behind a counter
and then spend half the night in
dancing, but the women who
rise to be heads of departments
are not found among the dancers.
No girl need be in doubt
whether she is overtaxing her
strength. Nature’s danger-sig
nals are plain, and if we goad her
on in spite of them, she takes
her revenge sooner or later. If
you are a schoolgirl, postpone
your playtime for a year or two.
You will enjoy it the more
when it comes, and you will be
prettier and fresher for your
self control. Tired nerves are
one of the most unbecoming
things in the world.—You ths
