That new mayor of Newport
seems to be doing his best to con
vince the boys that Newport is a
dry town.
Under the provisions of Act No.
3, the commissioners of Special
Improvement Districts are requir
ed to publish a report of the af
fairs of their Districts once a year.
The law requires now', that this
report be made and filed, but does
not require that it be published.
How many of you ever read one
of these reports, even though you
are paying taxes in a half dozen
special improvement districts?
How many cities and towns in
Arkansas ever furnish the voters
and the public a financial state
ment? When Act No. 3 becomes a
law, each municipal corporation
will have to publish in the news
paper, a complete and accurate
statement of its affairs, showing
receipts and disbursements, from
what sources and for what pur
poses, the amount of money on
hand at the beginning and at the
end of the period. This alone
should be enough to cause every
resident of an incorporated town
or city in Arkansas to vote for
Act No. 3.

A Commercial Club, through
which an organized effort could
he made to push Newark to the
front, would be worth more to
this town than anything else.
Such an organization would afford
all of us an opportunity to help
ourselves in a much more effect
ive way than we can ever do in
dividually. There is power in
united effort.
Some bitter things are being
said through the press and other
wise about the result of the recent
Democratic State Convention at
Pine Bluff. No good comes of these
things, and the man who is not
big enough to stand defeat, or to
see his friends defeated, should
never get into politics in any man
ner. A man should make up his
mind to be a game loser or stay
out of politics.
Dissatisfaction is one of the
most powerful forces in human
life. Without it there would be no
progress. A man must become
dissatisfied with the things he has
before he will try to get better
ones or strive to make improve
ments. It is the desire for some
thing better that is leading the
world onward, and this desire nev
er exists in any man in any walk
of life until he becomes dissatis
fied with something.

Making a Good
Crop
Is a very important matter with the farmer.
You cannot make a good crop without good §
tools to work with, so it is VERY IMPORTANT
that you equip yourself with plenty of GOOD

man ever made a success on the farm who did
not equip himself with the necessary tools and
implements for doing good work.

SAVE THE NEGRO
HANG WHITE BOYS
Misplaced Sympathy Saved Negro’s
Life But No Sympathy is Wasted
on These White Boys
In three short years a wonder
ful change has come over the peo
ple residing north of the Mason
Dixon line. Less than that num
ber of years ago nine tenths of
the dailypapers of the North were
contributing unlimited space to
advertising the alleged fact that
“Arkansas was to legally murder
a negro boy.” Today, with four
white boys in the shadow of the
electric chair at the Arkansas pen
itentiary, not a word is said by
our Northern friends in their be
half.
Earl Gilchrist, an overgrown
negro youth, in a spirit of revenge,
and with the wantonness of a sav
age, murdered a playmate. He
was convicted and sentenced to
hang. The Northern papers took
up the light, and thousands of
letters poured in daily on Gover
nor Donaghey. The result was
that the sentence of Gilchrist was
commutted, and he was sent to the
penitentiary for life, where he
has since gained an unenviable re
putation as an unruly convict.
None of the sentiment lavished
on a negro is to be found or ex
pressed for the four, brightfaced
white boys all sons of good moth
ers, who are soon to be executed
for murder unless executive clem
ency is shown.
Arthur Dewein, a runaway
youth from East St. Louis, occu
pies a death cell with Arthur Till
man, twice convicted of the mur
der of his sweetheart, Amanda
Stephens. Both boys are frank of
countenance, have piercing black
eyes and coal black hair. No one
would look at these beardless
youths and suspect they had com
mitted murder, or that it would
be possible for them to. Dewein
was convicted of murdering a man
at Benton.
Arthur Hodgins, a red headed,
freckle faced country youth from
Clark county, awaits electrocution
for having killed an officer who
arrested him for some trivial of
fense.
Joe Strong, the swarthy little
cellmate of Hodgins, was convict
ed of the murder at Benton for
wffiich Dewein is also under sen
tence of death. He is all boy, ef
fervescent, cheerful and boister
ous. Even the close proximity of
the electric chair does not get up
I on his nerves as it does upon the
other three of the quartette
The northern papers and north
ern people shed great gobs of
i tears over a negro boy who was
! about to be electrocuted but four
white boys about the same age of
the negro youth, stand in the
! shadow' of death and not a single
i protest is raised by anyone save
their own kindred and a few in
timate friends.
CONSTIPATION SAFELY
AND EASILY OVERCOME
No Need to Risk Unpleasant, Often
Dangerous Calomel—Dodson s
Liver Tone Takes its Place
You can now profit if you wish
by the experience of many people
who have found an easy, pleasant
remedy to take the place of calo
mel for constipation, sluggish liv
er, etc.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is best to
take instead of calomel and has
brought the brightness of health
into many households. It has none
of the disagreeable and often dan
| gerous after-effects of calomel.
The Newark Drug Co., a reput
able local druggist, positively
guarantees to refund purchase
price (50c.) of Dodson’s Liver
Tone in case you are not entirely
will recommend this remedy as a
strictly vegetable liquid, contain
ing nothing harmful, you run no
risks of any kind in trying it now.
Dodson’s Liver Tone never
leaves bad after-effects, but works
easily and naturally, without pain
or gripe and without interfering
| at all with your regular habits,diet
or occupation. <A,Lr~)
