( ItECTOn AND HIS GUN.
J Among other things, our Gov.
I said “I have not got any gun on
me, and now, Col. Rector, I ask
j if you have. I will turn all my
j pockets wrong side out (and did)
j and let the sheriff of Lonoke coun
j ty search me, and I want to ktiowT
I if you will let the sheriff search
, you?” This brought a great deal
: of apparent anxiety on the part
| of the audience and the governor
continued: ‘‘You have gota pistol
i on you and you dare not deny this
fact. You struck an unarmed school
teacher once, Prof. Cook of your
own city with a pistol. You have
got one now. Deny it, and I will
prove it by letting the sheriff of
this county search you. Vv ill you
1 submit to it? You can shoot me,
murder me as Gobelwas murder
ed but you cannot bluff me.”,

To The Voters
The News man, the candidate to represent the people of Wood
ruff county in the next General Assembly, is in favor of having
every piece of county script numbered as it is issued and then
when there is sufficient amount of money in the treasury of the
county to redeem say from one to one hundred inclusive, allow the
treasurer to advertise in some county paper and make same known.
Then the holder of the script can get it redeemed whether it be a
farmer or a banker that has the script in his possession. As it
now is, a few men can purchase the script at the court-house or
elsewhere at from 40 to 75 cents on the dollar and by standing in
with the treasurer he can get it redeemed without delay provided
die money is there for that purpose. I don’t pretend to say this
is done in Woodruff county but it is done in Mexico. While upon
the otherliand if the script were numbered and redeemed in rota
tion of uumbers like a man going to mill to get his grinding done,
there would be no hardship on anyone and everyone whether he
lived in Dent township or Freeman township could get his script
redeemed as easily as a man in Cotton Plant, McCrory or Augusta,
provided it was his turn.

Study the matter and see how
I many times you can count that
justice lias been meeted out in a
reasonable time and at a reasona
ble cost. How often has no law
yer interfered with some quibble
by which to cheat the plaintiff
and to clear the criminal? How
; often have you felt down deep in
your heart that men in high of
fice have stooped to leg for a
criminal and some technicality
made use of to defeat justice:

kipd and so Bill says that it
seems that certain ones have a
lease on justice and can do just
as they are a mind to and all it
will amount to is that the people
will be forced to pay the penalty
in the shape of taxes as lawyers
and officers can’t work for noth
ing. How many of us know of
cases where possibly some great

' people arrived at that if they
* take the legal course with crimi
nals the chances are 10 to 1 that
they will go free and the people
will be taxed to clear the ones
they know to be guilty, how often
have we all seen it, why so often
that if a man is taken for a crime
especially if he belongs to the
class of “leading familys” we
almost know that all it will
amount to is another excuse to
the people a little heavier there
fore we think that as we the
people make the laws and hire
servants to execute them and as
1 we believe that our servants have
made of themselves our lords
and masters and are using all
their energies to wheedle us out
of our money instead of execut
ing our orders therefore it is
easier, quicker, surer and less
costly to execute them ourselves
i which cannot be denied it is very
easily done it generally is quite
quickly done and we are sure
that it is done (there can be no
doubt) of that and the cost is only
a match or two, a piece of rope,
ora lew cartridges.
Now with the mountains of
facts surrounding' us on every
side of tliis kind is it any wonder
that the people have found it is
of no use to take the regular
course with evil doers because
we see that between the corrupt
courts and the more corrupt
lawyers insufficient penalty or
no penalty at all is applied unless
it be in the case of some poor
devil convicted of shooting dice
or catching a fish for his Sun
day dinner in which case the
“majisty of the law” frowns
down upon him with such a
pomposity of manner that the
poor devil is thoroughly anihilat
ed and gets a sentence of from 40
to 150 dollars the costs of which
the “aforesaid authorities” know
full well they will get sure out of
the state and as the aforesaid
“poor devil” has no money so he
will have to be sent to jail to bo a
further expense to the state so
in the end the people suffer all of
the penalty.
We the people see the necessi
ty of reform all along the line.
We are a good sot of folks and
we bear and suffer and hope for
better until forbearance ceases
to be a virtue then we become
“hell on a stump” and don’t you
forget it, it is said that we have
good election laws, so we have
but most anyone knows that the
wishes of the people are very
often not carried out and men
hold office that are a disgrace to
the people they pretend to repre
sent (notice our last legislature)
but who in fact they misrepre
sent.

Something: That Will Do You Good.
We know of no way in which
we can be of more service to our
readers than to tell them of
something that will be of real
good to them. For this reason
we want to acqnaint them with
what we consider one of the very
best remedies on the market for
coughs, colds, and that alarming
complaint, croup. We refer to
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
We have used it with such good
results in our family so long that
it has become a household neces
sity. By its pi’ompt use we
haven’t any doubt but that it has
time and again prevented croup.
The testimony is given upon our
own experience, and we suggest
wuiL uur RJuuers, tiiustf
who have small children, always
keep it in their homes as a safe
guard against croup.—Camden j
