The negroes of North Carolina
are to be educated with the money
derived from their own taxes, if a
movement now on foot in that
state is successful. If this is un
dertaken, the chances are the neg
roes will get very little education
unless their white friends in North
Carolina come to their aid.
Aunt Carrie Nation says she
‘"would sooner kiss a spittoon than
a man who smokes.” We don't
think there is any danger of Aunt
Carrie being Ilobsonizod, for if
she looks anything like her pic
ture, the average man would as
soon kiss the pelt side of a dry
'kunk hide as Aunt Carrie's face.
The reason some men never do
anything wrong is because they
never do anything. If a man is a
worker, if lie is active and pro
gressive, if lie lakes a lively inter
est in public affairs, as he should,
lie will most certainly do some
thing wrong sooner or later; but
i-emeinber, the man who works
and makes mistakes is far better
and worth more to the communi
ty than the fellow who never does
ny thing.
I HON. It. A. MOORE READ
Prominent Newark Attorney Dies
While Attending Circuit
Court at Searcy.
The entire community was pro
foundly shocked Sunday morning
when it became known that Hon.
It. A. Moore was dead. lie was
attending court at Searcy and the
sad news of his death was learned
from a telephone message from
his brother. Mr. Moore h.iJ not
been a citizen of Newark but a
short lime, but had many friends
here who join The .Journal m ex
tending heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved family.
The following account of the
Slid occurrence is dipped from
the Searcy Daily Citizen of Mon
day, August 4.
“A large concourse of relatives
and friends accompanied the re
mains of Attorney K- A. Moore
from the residence of Itev. F. Z.
Nesbitt, now occupied by Mrs.
Lula Ford, whom his family were
visiting at the time he took a con
gestive chill, from which he (lied.
The funeral was preached by Rev.
Muyhan, of Judsonia, at the Hap
list church ut lo.,5(j a, in. 1 he
elegant chinch was tilled by a cul
tured audience that fully appreci
ated the able and appropriate dis
course. The front scats in the
middle tier were occupied by his
wife, his aged mother, his broth
ers and other members of the
family. The west tier of seats
were occupied by the Masonic
fraternity, notably among whom
sat Judge H. N. Hutton and Pros
ecuting Attorney K. 1». Macon.
Aftei the sermon the Masons took 1
charge of the remains and laid
them to rest in the Searcy ceme
tery with Masonic honors. De

Tlie County Canvass.
The candidates for the various
county offices begin the joint can
vass at Salado next Monday. Ex
cept in the case of representative
and county treasurer there is no j
opposition to the democratic tick-1
et as nominated in the March pri
mary. The contest for represen-!
tative will doubtless be a hot one '
as there are some good campaign
ers in the race for this position. !
The tight between M L. Arnold j
and I. J. Mfttheny the disputant |
democrats will be a tight to the '
finish and both sides seem conti-;
dent.
The Journal will have a repre
sentative on the canvass in the per
son of Squire Thos. Jones, who
will keep the public informed of
the progress of the game. Mr.
Jones will also take subscriptions
and orders for job work and any
courtecies shown him by the pub
lic will be duly appreciated.

The Big Picnic.
The big annual picnic yesterday
passed off veiv nicely. An im
mense crowd, estimated at about
| 2.5(H) people, were here. Owing
to the fact that 1 be Journal man j
had to quit the grounds about |
noon, to make up the forms for
the paper, we are denied t lie pleas
ure of giving an extended account
of the affair.
Col. Murphy could not be present
to take part in the speaking and

attorney of Ritesville, ably dc-!
fended the democratic cause, j
•Ion. Chas. F. Cole also made a 1
good speech ar.d both speakers

TOII\YE WATERWORKS
Council Decides That Newark Will
Have Waterworks Plant
of her Own.
At the council meeting Monday
night the wa*er works question
was taken up and thoroughly dis
cussed. After a good deal of dis
cussion pro and eon it was finally
decided to put in water works.
A petition w.is presented to the
council some time ago asking that
certain blocks in the business por
tion of town be made an improve
ment district for the purpose of
putting in water works, but Huai
action on the matter was deferred
until last Monday night. The pe
tition vvns signed by all, or nearly
all. real estate owners in the dis
trict, but the council very wisely
laid the matter over and appoint
ed a committee to investigate the
cost before taking final action
The question has been thorough
ly discussed privately and every
man in town has perhaps expres
sed himself one way or the other.
Members of the council no doubt
took this fact into consideration
in making up their mind on the
subject, and now that the council
bus reached a decision in the mut
ter there is no doubt but that we
will have water works. Bonds
will probably be floated to meet
the expense.
A committee composed of 8.
C. Beane, W. T. Magness and T.
II. Dealing was appointed to se
lect a location for the tower ai d
arrange other preliminaries.
Other matters to receive atten
tion were, the election of J. \V.
Barnett as street commissioner to
succeed Eli Magness, whose re
signation was presented and ac
cepted.
The office of nightwatebman
was (treated and W. .J. Freeze
who has been employed by the
business men as mghtwatch, was
elected night watchman.
The matter of electing a bridge
across the drain at the alley back
of 8- C. Beane's place of business
was referred to the street and al
ley committee with power to
act.
A. A. Henderson desired an ex
pression from the council as to
whether that portion of town
wherein he and a number of others
leside would be annexed to the
corporation should a petition be
presented asking it. The council
■xpiessed itself as willing to an
nex that territory if it was the
lesire of the citizens affected and
i petition asking that that terri
tory lie annexed will probably be
presented at the next meeting of
the council.
Tiieie being no further busi
ness tire council adjourned.

Coughing
“ I was given up to die with
quick consumption. I then began
to use Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I
improved at once, and am now in
perfect health.”—Chas. E. Hart
man, Gibbstown, N. Y.
It’s too risky, playing
with your cough.
The first thing you
know it will be down
deep in your lungs and
the play will be over. Be
gin early with Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral and stop
the cough.
Three sites : 25c., 50c., $1. All drunltlt.
Consult your doctor. If ho says take it,
then do as he says. If he tells yon not
to take It, theu don't take It. He kuosrs.
Leave It with him. We are willing.

IA BATESVILLK SUICIDE;
j
! John W. Crow, Well Known Citi
zen, Died From Overdose
of florphine.
.John \V. Crow, well known in
tbis section, committed suicide at
Batesville lust Friday, the follow
ing account of which is taken from
the Bee of the 6th inst:
The people of our city were
much surprised and shocked last
Friday to learn that Mr. John YV.
Crow had ended his life by taking
morphiue. It is supposed that
worry over his wife's health,
which has been bad for some time,
and financial difficulties caused him
to take the fatal step.
A short time ago Mr. Crow sold
his residence property and he and
his wife had made preparations to
go to Denver, Col., for the latter's j
health. They were to leave on the;
afternoon train Friday, August 1,
and their trunks had been sent to
the depot. Mr. Crow was down
in town in the forenoon and at
tempted to borrow some money to I
arrange his affairs for the trip,!
without success it is said. He!
purchased 20 grains of morphine. |
saying he wanted it for a sica
horse.
He then went to C. W. Max-j
field’s, at whose residence lie and
his wife were staying, and about
noon took the poison and aftet- 1
wards a bath, apparently prepar
ing for their departure. When
called and told 111 it it was time to:
1 start to the train he came down .
stairs and complained of feeling |
badly and immediately fell m a
faint, lie never regained con
sciousness and the end came about ;
| 7.30 in the evening.
