FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.
In this issue of the News may
be found the announcement of
Hon. J. M. Vineyard, who is can
didate for Prosecuting Attorney
for the First Judicial District, sub
ject to the action of the Democrat
ic Primaries. The Helena World
of Aug. 26 says of him :
“Judge Vineyard graduated
from the law department of Cum
berland University at Lebanon,
Tenu., nine years ago, and has
been engaged in the practice of
his profession in Helena ever since.
For four years he held, with honor,
the office of police judge for the
city of Helena, and his adminis
tration was both wise and just. He
also served creditably as secretary
of the Democratic central commit
tee of Phillips county.
“Judge Phillips is a product of
Phillips county and has spent
most of his life here, as boy and
man. The incumbents of the office
of prosecuting attorney have for
merly been young and energetic
men, and Judge Vineyard thinks
the custom should be perpetuated.
Among these former state’s attor
neys who won honor and popular
ity are Brundidge and Hicks, of
White; Roleson and Andrews, of
Woodruff; and Macon, of Phillips.
“Judge Vineyard possesses all
the qualifications for making a
brilliant record as state’s attorney,
and it is hardly necessary to say
that Phillips county wants to see
him win.”
Surely the World would not
so highly recommend Mr. Vine
yard were he not wholly worthy
the praise given him, as will be re
membered it’s Editor was recently
assassinated, the cause of which was
the publishing of the scandal and
robbery being done by the officers
of the City of Helena.
NOMINATIONS WILL BE
ON A PLURALITY.
The coming Democratic primary,
in which candidates for State
offices are to be named, will be
conducted a little differently to
those of the past. This is not
generally known, however, for in
some manner the fact has never
been published, that the change
has been made.
Heretofore a candidate for Gov
ernor received the nomination up
on the number of counties carried.
In this manner a candidate might
carry many thousand more votes
than his opponent, still be defeat
ed for the nomination. This time,
the system is changed, and the
popular vote will decide the nomi
nation, regardless of the counties
carried. This is expected to make
quite a difference in the result in
some cases, for candidates have
been accustomed to running upon
the other basis, and it will be diffi
cult to recast their organizations,
so as to conform to the new sys
tem.
In times past a candidate re
ceived 17,500 more votes than his
opponent, but was not nominated
from the fact that his nearest op
ponent carried more counties than
he. This changed the result of
the election entirely.
The entire list of State officers
will come under the same rule,
and will run for the popular vote.
GEO. WASHINGTON GETS
SENTENCE. REEVES APPEALS
Augusta, Aug., 26.—(Special)
— The Woodruff Circuit Court for
the northern district, after sentenc
ing George Washington, convicted
last term for murder, to the peni
tentiary for twenty one years, and
granting an appeal to Bud Reeves,
convicted at this term of murder,
adjourned for the term. Sheriff
W. R. Cain will take, as inmates
to the penitentiary, five persons—
one white and four colored—two
for murder, three for other felo
nies.—Arkansas Democrat.

tess and Court Ladies. This large
and elegant department will con
tain specially adapted show cases
and frames for the exhibition of
the various beautiful, delicate and
valuable specimens of ladies handi
craft. All these choice specimens
will be so arranged as to be safe
in every respect. They can not
be handled. They will not be ex
posed to any risk of damage from
dust or dirt and will be absolutely
protected from loss.
There have been arranged special
features for every day of the ten
fair dates from October 3 to 10 in
clusive. On the opening day,
Thursday, October 3rd the Queen
and Hostess for that day will lead
(he great Floral Parade in a mag
nificent chariot, followed by an
elaborate float bearing the Court
Ladies.
Special box pavillion seats,
elegantly decorated, will be re
served at all times for the Queens,
their Court and their Guests.
These seats will be held subject to
the command of the Hostess at all
times and here she may entertain
her guests during the various en
tertainments and programs in the
Auditorium or in front of the
grandstand.
The choicest hotel accomodations
to be procured in the entire city of
Hot Springs have been secured for
the ladies who will be honored as
the special guests of the State Fair
by the popular selection of each
Congressional District in Arkan
sas.
This is a compensation well
worth working for. Miss Ruth
Powell, of this city, has been
nominated as Woodruff County’s
candidate for the State Fair Queen, i
from this the First Congressional
District. Save the coupons in
each one of these papers and send
them in for Miss Powell. Each

County’s worthy young ladies to
the Fair.

One Pardoned; One Refused.
Governor Pindall passed upon
two petitions for executive clemen

fusing the other petition. J. T.
Harvey of Fort Smith, convicted
of forgery, in Sebastain County,
two years ago and sentenced to
four years in the State prison, was
pardoned, the following endorse
ment being made on the petition :
“This man is old as shown by
the certificate of the penitentiary
physician, is infirm. The judge
who convicted him and the prose
cuting attorney who prosecuted
him recommended a pardon, and I
feel justified in consenting that
this man may have a chance to re
form if he wants to. Pardon grant
ed. X. 0. Pindall, Acting Gov.
The other case was that of Kit
Poindexter, convicted in Wood
ruff County, of resisting an officer.!
This is the second time the petition
has been presented to Governor
Pindall. lie again refused to grant
the pardon, giving as his reasons
the same as given upon the former
presentation, that it is the inten
tion of the executive department
to aid in enforcing the law.—Ark

longer than 20 days and as a
special inducement to you I will
give cut rate prices on work for
that time. Get that dirty suit
cleaned like new.
Tidmore, the Tailor.
Our garments are old, and tat
tered and torn; the soles of our
shoes are shockingly worn; the
crown and the rim are gone from
our hat; our cupboard is empty,
not even a rat would stay ’round
the house for fear he would starve,
or that we might think him a good
chance to carve; and yet we ask
nothing but what is our due: and
if we but had it, perhaps, sir,
from you instead of this sad
tale of woe that we sing, we’d joy
fully shout and live like a king.
When the people can be made to
understand that it actually costs
more in time and money to travel
over a poor road than it does to
travel over a good one, they
will be less inclined to begrudge
the expense of good roads, and
what is more important still,
be willing and anxious to put the
business of road making into the
hands of intelligent.men who un
derstand the business. Poor roads
are the expensive things that curse
a country district.
“Turn that wrapper the other
side out, said a lady in a dry
goods store this morning as the
clerk was putting up her purchase
in a printed wrapping paper. “I
don’t want to be a walking adver
tisement to your store. I read the
papers as all intelligent people
ought to do, and I think in them
is the place to advestise your busi
ness. Instead of asking your cus
tomers to carry your sign around
with each purchase of goods, go
and tell the people through the
. papers what you have to sell and
how you sell it.”

Perfect in Every Detail
Although every part and principle of the sewing machine
has been studied, improved and perfected to make the Volo
the best and easiest running machine on the market, other
features for general convenience have not been neglected.
On one 6ido there are two dust proof drawers of equal
depth. On the other a shallow drawer contains spindles
for spools and an emery cushion. Beneath this drawer is a
deeper one in which an oil can may be stood upright.
The body of the machine is dust proof so that in standing
the dust cannot penetrate it and reach the head. It has
roller-bearings and is adjusted with the most pains
taking care; the result is, the Volo is the fastest sewing,
easiest running and most convenient for every use and does
work that cannot be equalled with any other machine in the
world. The stand is highly finished in black with the finest
Japan, and in addition is finished with a high grade varnish.
The Volo represents perfection in material, workman
ship and efficiency.
Price, $40.
Every Volo fully guaranteed.
