BRUNDIDGE WILL
OPPOSE ROBINSON
Searcy Statesman Wants Seat in
United States Senate Now Oc
cupied by Joe Robinson
The report comes from Searcy
that foimer Congressman Stephen
Brundidge has definitely decided
to again enter the contest for
United States senator in opposition
to Senator Joe T. Robinson. Mr.
Brundidge opposed the late Sena
tor Jeff Davis when the senator
was nominated for a second term
by a very narrow margin.
Senator Robinson, who is now
serving his first term, has inform
ed his friends that he will seek a
re-election in the Democratic pri
maries.
Mr. Brundidge introduced a res
olution in the Democratic State
Convention in Ifine Bluff last June
providing for the appointment of
a committee to draft a new elec
ion law. Brundidge was appoint
ed by the convention as chairman
of this committee, and Gov. Hays,
Judge John I. Moore of Helena,
Joseph W. Sttyton of Newport,
and Col. Jno. M. Moore of Little
Rock were named as the other
members of the committee.
This committee will meet in
Little Kock early in December to
frame an entirely new' primary
election law, which will be intro
duced during the early part of the
session of the legislature. Mr.
Brundidge and his associates on
the committee say th^y will at
tempt to draw up a measure that
will make it impossible for corrup
tion in the primaries.
Judge John I. Moore of Helena
who is a member of the commit
tee to draft the new' primary law,
is a hold-over senator and will
very likely have charge of the
proposed measure when it is intro
duced in the legislature early in
January.

AT SANITARIUM
Baptist Minister Writes From
Booneville of the Good Work
Being Done There
Booneville, Nov. 27.—It has been
a little more than four months
since I came to the State Sanitari
um, and notwithstanding a little
homesickness now and then, the
time has passed like a shadow.
So I will write my friends again
through The Journal and am glad
I can say that my health has im
proved very much since my first
letter in August.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving
and a number of us gathered in
the sun-parlor where a splendid
program was rendered. Among
the many things we had to be
thankful for was the fine turkey,
cherry pie and other good things
so plentifully supplied. A splen
did speech was made by one of
the patients on the benefits of the
sanitarium. This great institution
is one which our entire state
should be proud. Every citizen
should reverently bow their head
and thank God that we have such
a place lor consumptives, where
the rich and the poor alike are en
titled to its benefits. If you have
lung trouble, don’t hesitate to
j come here. You have 84 chances
out of 100 to be cured if you come
in time, and will be greatly bene
j fitted and your life prolonged even
in the advanced stage. One se
; cret in getting the disease arrested
lies in one’s knowing they have it
and being willing to admit it. It
is no more disgrace to have con
sumption than typhoidfevcr. Those
who will not believe nor admit it
when they have it, are both dan
gerous and crimnal, for they will j
spit anywhere thereby scattering j
the germs into the air to be!
breathed by the innocent and un-1
suspecting and thereby causing
them to fall victims to its rav-;
ages. Consumption is not heredi
tary; it is contagious. The only
hope for stopping the progress of
this awful malady lies in persist- j
ently teaching in the schools and
churches its prophylactic.
Dr. Stewart, the superintendent,
gave us a lantern slide lecture
Thursday night. One scene was
a cemetery in which there were 13
tombstones in a row—all one fam
ily. Mother took it and infected
her sweet innocent babe by nurs
ing and fondling it. Then the
husband became infected, and
then the other children. What a
sad scene it was! 1 went to my
v-wua^t in itan.
IIow long, Oh Lord, until the
country schools and churches and
the people of the smaller towns
and villages can have the gospel
of tuberculosis prophylactic pre
ached to them, as well as to those
of the cities?
A careful consumptive is not
dangerous. Don’t be afraid of a
sensible person who has been to
the Arkansas Tuberculosis Sani
! tarium. They are perfectly safe,
i They have been taught how and
what to do and it becomes a fixed
I habit, and almost every one will
| observe the precautions, hence we
can see in this one thing alone the
; value of the sanitarium.
When a chicken has cholera we
isolate it, and save the flock. When
two, three or four members of a
family die of tuberculosis we say
.“it runs in the family.” It does;1
i but it is not heredity that “runs”
it; it is ignorance as to the nature
and prevention of the disease.
1 weigh more than I have since
19U2. Hope to soon be entirely
well again.

the fact that one can overcome

DAMAGE CASE REVERSED
The Arkansas Supreme Court
handed down a decision Monday
reversing and remanding the case
Lou Robinson vs. John M. Sisk
for a new trial.
The suit is the sequel of a per
sonal encounter between Robinson
and Sisk, in which Robinson claims
to have been permanently injured
by Sisk. Robinson brought suit
for damages and the case was
tried in the circuit court, the jury
returning a verdict for Sisk. Rob
inson’s attorneys took the case to
the supreme court, alleging errors
in the trial that tended to influ
ence the verdict of the jury. The
case having been remanded it will
probably be tried again at the
spring term of the circuit court.

ADVERTISING OUR
STATE TO THE WORLD
Every Patriotic Citizen Wants Sou
venir Showing He Helped Erect
Worlds Fair Building
The commendable efforts of the
Arkansas Cammission, recently
appointed by Governor Hays to
raise popular subscriptions to the
money necessary to erect and
maintain a suitable Arkansas Ex
hibit at tbe San Francisco Expo
sition. are bearing: fruit.
This will be perhaps the largest
and most important of all Worlds
Fairs. Arkansas has commenced
to develop along proper lines and
all the state needs now is proper
advertising before the world.
It will cost at least $80,000 to
furnish this display. Missouri and
other states have appropriated
much larger sums out of their
treasuries for their state exhibits,
but Arkansas must establish hers
largely by popular subscriptions.
Many patriotic citizens have
subscribed and paid various sums
ranging from $5 to $1000 and now
comes the dollar contribution plan
for which a special committee has
been appointed consisting of V. A.
Beeson, of Morrilton, Hubert 0.
Schaefer, and A. D. Murlin of Lit
tle Rock, all newspaper men.
These gentlemen have entire
charge of the state-wide dollar con
tribution plan and a thorough can
vass of the various cities, towns
and counties is expected to be
made between now and December
20th. The contributor of $1 is to
be given a handsome souvenir,
made of Arkansas Aluminum
with the seal of the State and a
picture of the Arkansas building
engraved thereon. The Aluminum
Company at Bauxite, Arkansas,
donated $1,100 worth of alumi
num from which to make the
medals.
Newspapers, schools, women’s
clubs and other organizations are
asked to join and co-operate in
this dollar souvenir campaign to
the end that every citizen who
can and will give a dollar to this
great cause may be given and op
portunity to do so.
The Journal will assist in rais
ing the fund and any person de
siring one of these handsome sou
venirs may obtain the same at
this office upon the payment of $1.
Call and get one and help adver
tise Arkans.
