The Convention.
The Republicans, of Woodruff j
county, met at Wherry’s hall in |
McCrory last Saturday to trans-1
act such business as they saw fit. j
The news man started up to!
see the showcus. The first mat-1
ter of interest as we started upi
the stairs was an old darkey by
the name of Bob Anthony coming!
down the stair-way in a hurry
bear-headed, holding his head.
I said old man what’s the mat-;
ter? He said “Good G-d man
lemme out o’ hat .” Later wej
found that two members of said j
convention had gotten into a dis- j
pute. One of the disputants, i
Frank Kennedy by name of Cot-!
ton Plant, picked up a chair with
which to emphasize his position i
and struck at George Johnson,
the other disputant of Angusta. i
Old man Bob caught the chair on j
his head. This brought the old i
man to the floor and everyone
thought H. T. Raney would have
a job as undertaker as well as
mayor. This old man had noj
sooner recovered from the force
ful eloquence of republican ora
tory, than lie lied from the arena
as before discribed.
After this catastrophe a motion
was made for the chair to appoint
a committee on credentials. Then
the convention adjourned for one
hour.
At two o’clock p. m., chairman
Dr. Bradford, a stalward republi
can of Cotton Plant, called the
meeting to order. The commit- j
tee on credentials being ready to!
report, submitted same for fixe
consideration of the convention.
Then it was that George Johnson
the most outspoken hero of them
all, arose and for one hour made
the white republicans look like a|
worn out thirt-centy-piece at an I
inquest to see how it all happen
ed. He showed how Cotton
Plant was manipulating the con
vention by giving each township
just so many or so few a number
of delegates in that convention as
to suit its purposes. Johnson
asked who is the republican
party? Look around and see for!
yourself. Nearly all negroes.
Only four or five white men and
they are ail here too. The white
men are republicans for pie; the
negroes are republicans from
principles. By the eternal Gods,
I am going to tell you all the whole
truth. Hear me? I’m against
the report of the committee on
credentials, because it does not
treat us fair. At the conclusion,
Johnson said, “if you don’t do us
l ight, I’ll see every negro in the
county between this and the
general election and I’ll tell them
all j our dirt.” He praised Mr.
Blackmon of Augusta and pictur
ed him as a model for mankind to
follow, but the others he could
not recommend under any cir
cumstauces.
Pope of Augusta made a splen
did appeal, but all in vain, the
darkies, in spile of the speeches,
of Johnson and Pope, voted with
the Cotton Plant czars. Just
think of four ruling a convention
of sixty odd. The immortal Cods
of republicanism hide their faces
in shame to see such bossism.
But such is denominate l pure re
publicanism. We wouldn’t like
to see any dirty republicanism
for fear of not coming out as well
as the old man that so uncerimo
niously took his departure from
the convention.
The following committees were
appointed: For campaign pur
poses: Dr. J. B. Neal, Alva Brene
nam and T. S. Humphrey. For
state convention: J. B. Neal, F. j
H. Kennedy, E. E. Blackmon and
Sam Fowler.
The delegates to the state con- j
vention were instructed to vote
for Harry Miors to be the repub-1
lican standard bearer against;
driver* ' After a short rest, we have again started
~ ‘J* ) a livery stable and we inv-t > ear eld friends
to come and see us on Main street west, of Shearer's Store

! our Jeff. What Jeff will do for
!hiin will be a God almighty’s

The convention gave a vote of
j thanks to E. T. Wherry for the
, use of the hall.
i The convention then adjourn
j ed sine die; and uncle Bob An
! thony went home with a sore
i head. Be told the News manthat
; this republican convention had;
knocked ail the sense out off him
i that he ever possessed. The old
| man has our sympathy.
The Batesville Guard says j
“our Baptist friends might try !
the ‘water cure’ on Gov. Jeff, if;
they could devise the machinery ;
to administer it. ”
Our advice to the Guard man
is that he take a sudden plunge
and a bath in the stagnant pool
of Republicanism and he will
feel like standing by democracy
and her nominees.
The party or parties that bor- [
rowed (?) our hand-saw and chair i
from the News office Avill do
Miss Nancy a special favor by
returning them. We sometimes
have to saw as well as you and if
you need the saw more than we
do come up and we will grant
bargain and sell same unto you.
Now as far as the chair is con
cerned, we know it was not bor
rowed, but tak^n through mis
take. It is an ordinary cane
bottom chair. Underneath the
seat, is painted a large letter K i
in a bluish color. The person!
having said chair or knowing the j
where-a-bouts of same will do'
Sister Nancy a great favor by j
notifying the News man. We ]
purchased that chair for the use j
of the News office and need it at!
home and not abroad.

TIP. I
By Our Regular Correspondent.
Kinch Clayton worked live!
days last week.
Ye correspondent made a busi-!
ness trip to DeView the first oi
the week.
Miss Clara Beard was visiting
M iss EdnaWafford Saturday and
Sunday.
Mrs. S. 0. Covington -was re
porn.'d as being on the sick list
the first of the week.
We heard that Edley crossed
the 'deep waters” Sunday. We'
wonder for v hat reason.
W. L. Nicholson, of Jackson \
county, was visiting among our
fair sex the first of the week.
W. D. Tucker was in Pair Oaks)
Sunday. Seems as though he!
has deserted the Sunday school. I
Will Burns, Charley Nail and
Tom Fowler, with their families,
visited across the bayou Sunday.
John Clifton, our efficient Sun
day school secretary, visited
home folks Saturday and Sun*
day.
We have we suppose as good a
Sunday school as there is in the
county and it is growing every
Sunday.
No wonder it hailed or that the
island of Martinique was de
stroyed, Fon Caudle worked last
Saturday,
J. W. Wilder and W. W. Scales
were down looking at crops last
week and seemed to be well
pleased with prospects.
Ernest Caudle has been limp
ing due to a cut on his foot caus
ed by kicking an ax. Guess he’ll
mind what he kicks at after this.
Our enterprising merchant,1
Thomas A. Smith by name, one
of the very largest men in our
city, made a trip to Wiville last
week.
Most of our farmers are get
ting their crops in pretty good
shape now and if it doesn’t rain
too much they will soon have
them worked out nicely.
Jack Long and Will Kirksey
have returned from a timber job
Lit Fair Oaks. We can’t say
whether they made enough to
pay their board bill or not.
Someone said it bailed in the
neighborhood of Mr. Wrights
last Saturday and from all ac
counts we suppose it did. They
say some hailstones were as
large as hen eggs.
Dee Chaney has made his
fortune, or at least part of it, and
returned home last Wednesday.
We did not learn whether he is
[joing to work at the carpenter’s
trade any longer or not.
Our citizens and a few dark
complected animals held a school
meeting Saturday and elected P.
B. Win free for one year to till
the time of a director who had
resigned and W. D. Tucker for
three years as director of our
school They also fixed the pump
which was a great help.
Our little merchant has be
come very indignant on account
of us calling him “little” Tommy.
He says he would like for the
people to know that he is a man
himself and that Tip is a thriv
ing town and does a big business.
We are going to try to keep on
the good side of Mr. Smith be
cause we might want him to di
vide fish with us some time don’t
ye know.
TIP, ARK., May, 19,— (SPE
CIAL)- Men. “Green” with his |
entire army arrived last week
just in time to relieve young Cen.
Srinnel who has been guarded
ind watched closely near the
“Old Oak Log” on the bayou for
sometime by our “famous fisher
men. Our fishermen were not
considered prisoners of war but
were sentenced to one month’s
wo-Mir and have been placed on
the‘"Work farm” to work their
time Put. “Tommy” seems to
think that ignorance of the law
Now is the time to have your baby’s

Ur. Bergin, Pana, Ills., writes:,
“I have used Ballard’s snow Lini
ment: always recommend it to my
friends, as iam confident there is
no better made. Tt is a dandy for
burns Those who live on farms are
especially liable to many acciden
tal cuts, burns and bruises which
heal rapidly whenBallard's Snow
Liniment is applied. It should
always be kept in the house for
cases of emergency. 25c, 50c and
§1.00 at Dr. J. B. Neal.
SPRING AILMENTS.
There is an aching and .tired
feeling; the liver, bowels and kid
neys become sluggish and inac
tive the digestion impaired with
little or no appetite, no ambition
for anything, and a feeling that
the whole body and mind needs
toning up. The trouble is, that
during winter, there has been an
accumulation of waste matter in
the system. Herbine will remove
it, secure to the secretions a right
exit, and by its tonic effect, fully
restore the wasted tissues and
give strength in place of weak
ness. 50c at Dr. J. B. Neal.
