DONAGHEY PLANS
TO FIGHT LIQUOR
Will Take Stump in Favor of
State-Wide Prohibition and
Grandfather Clause
Little Rock, Aug. 4.—Beginning
in about ten days,tiov. Donaghey
will make a tour of the state speak
ing in favor of state-wide prohibi
tion and the “grandfather clause”
amendment to the state constitu
tion, according to his announce
ment yesterday. The governor has
received several invitations to
speak in favor of the state-wide
prohibition bill to be voted on in
September, and says he will act
ively support this measure. 1k*
declared it does not matter what
past differences have been, he be
lieves all who are really in favor
of prohibition should do all they
can in support of the bill. No dates
have been arranged, but he ex
pects to make his first speech in
favor of prohibition in about ten
days.
1 tie governor also will champ
ion the “grandfather clause”
amendment to the constitution, re
garding which he said:
“This state should be controlled
by the white people. The negro
has not advanced to the stage
where he should vote generally.
The elimination of the negro from
the ballot is best for the white
man and also best for the negro
himself. Having passed this
amendment 1 am then in favor of
passing election laws so stringent
that ballot-box stuffing will be
done away with. To my mind bal
lot-box stuffing will cause more
dissension and strife than actual
bloodshed, if not stopped.”
The governor says he may not
discuss the Turner-Jacobson bill,
but says he is as much in favor of
it as he ever was and thinks it is
for the best interests of the peo
ple of the state. He is also in fav
or of the 60-day session of the
legislature amendment, and favors
the recall of public officials, with
the exception of the judges. He
says the judiciary system of this
state is good enough.
Gov. Donaghey stated that he
has not looked into the merits of
the amendment to permit bond is
sues by municipalities, but that he
is in favor of the amendment to
exempt cotton factories from tax
ation during the next ten years
for a period of seven years.
“The gates could be opened wide
to all large factories for a period
of ten years,” he said, “and the
state will gain more than it loses
by it, while these big concerns
will have opportunity to get start
ed. Meanwhile, there will he big
returns to the people as a whole in
increased labor and trade.”
LARUE Tlf! BE R DEALS
Geo. L. Green has been making
some extensive timber deals re
cently and is now perhaps the
largest hardwood lumber manu
facturer in this section of the
state. About two weeks ago he
purchased S10.000 worth of tim
ber from the Black River Land
| Co., and this week he closed a deal
! for the purchase of 1). P. Whis
| nant’s mill and 2200 acres of tim
ber on Black river. In addition
; to these recent purchases, he al
ready o wned a mill in Stone coun
ty and another near Strawberry on
Black River. Starting from a very
humble begining, Air. Green has
been remarkably successful in the
lumber business and The Journal
is glad to note this futher evidence
of his success.

CHRIST AMENDED BUT
DID NOT REPEAL LAWS
Instances Given to Sustain Con
tention That Land Cannot
Be Sold Forever
Editor Newark Journal.—Your
Big Flat Subscriber evidently mis
understood my article in a recent
issue of The Journal in which I
contended that if a court recogniz
ed a Creator as our first land-mak
er, owner and title-giver, and con
sidered the Bible, the Ten Com
mandments and Mosiac Law as
the base, foundation and corner
stone on which our constitution
and laws are made, they would de
cide that the people have over
stepped their power and authority
when they made a law allowing
land to be sold “forever,” or for
more than fifty years.
it is not contended we have act
ually been living under the Mosiac
Law as a whole—only a part of it
— but for 1800 years a Creator has
been denied and ignored when it
suited our selfish men and promot
ed their selfish interests to the end
that they might devour and op
press the weak.
Jesus Christ, in the 17th, 18th
and 19th verses of the 19th chap
ter of Matthew, refers the rich
man to the Ten Commandments
and the Mosiac Law' and also tells
him to sell his possessions and give
to the poor, and so you see, accord
ing to Christ, the crucifixion did
not repeal the Ten Command
ments nor all of the Mosiac Law.
It seems also that Christ was a
Socialist. Head 'Acts 4:32-34 and
Acts 5:1-2. In the fourth chapter
they all sell their land and posses
sions and make an equal division,
and in chapter five Annanias and
his wife are stricken dead for with
holding a part of their money.
Christ was opposed to private
ownership, and so were His dis
ciples. This was Socialism.
It is contended that a Creator,
the Bible and Mosiac Law is the
cornerstone on which we form
governments and make constitu
tions and laws, and that they
should be in line and not conflict,
exercising reason and liberality
and leaving out all technicalities.
The crucifixion seems to have
done away with burnt offerings,
or sacrifices, and substituted bap
tism. The changes instituted by
Him appear more as amendments
to the old law, rather than a re
pealing of the old law.
