FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1904.
The fight for the democratic
Presidential nomination seems to
have narrowed down to Parker
and Hearst.
The cool nights for the past
week has caused the industrious
cut worms to inaugurate their an
nual warfare on young cotton and
corn. _____________
Arkansas’ exhibit at the Worlds
Fair is filling all expectations, and
any one who visits the Fair will
return proud of the fact that he is
an Arkansan.
Last weeks shipment of eggs
from Newark was 117 cases or 3,
510 dozen. The weeks shipments
brought $421.20. This is the larg
est number shipped in any one
week this spring.
_
The value of the farm property !
embraced in the Louisiana pur
chase is estimated at $9,724,855,
132, or over 44S times what Presi
dent Jefferson paid for the entire
property. The value of its agri
cultural products for one year is
$1,555,802,189.
The home of W. V. Tompkins at
Prescott was destroyed by tire
Monday afternoon about 6 o’clock.
Mr. Tompkins will be remembered
by many of our citizens as the
brilliant young orator who spoke
here during the recent campaign
in behalf of Judge Wood. His
loss is $3,500; insurance, $2,000.
The Arkansas Democrat very
wisely suggests that the state
should have 10,000 copies of the
digest printed, instead of only 8,
000. We agree with the Demo
crat in this instance. The digest
should be placed within easy reach
of every citizen, in order that the
people may become better ac
quainted with the laws of our
state. The state excuses no man
for violations of the law because of
his ignorance, yet it spends but
very little to acquaint him with
the laws it forces him to observe.
Little Rock is to have a new
daily paper. The Advertiser,which
has heretofore been published as a
semi-weekly, will enter the field as
a daily. The first issue of the new
daily will appear next Sunday.
The Advertiser is a first-rate paper
and The Journal wishes is success.
The Journal learns from Hon
W. S. Wright that the convention
at Batesville which has been char
acterized as the Davis convention,
did not instruct for Davis, as has
been reported. A number of the
delegates elected to the state con
vention were friends of the gover
nor, but the convention instructed
for Wood. The Journal would not
knowingly misrepresent anything
and we gladly make the proper
correction. This simplifies mat
ters considerably and we trust that
the township committeemen select
ed by the different conventions
may satisfactorily arrange matters
so as to avoid any misunderstand
ing as to which shall have the au
thority to represent the various
townships. It is very unfortunate
that the split-up occurred, and we
hope that if any ill feelings have
been engendered by the actions of
either side, that it will all blow
over in a short while and that
peace and harmony may prevail.
Miss Mamie Graham of Green
Forest, Ark., who has been rob
bing the ever gullible public by
means of a system of endless chain
letters, has been arrested and de
nied the use of the United States
mail. She claimed to be blind and
also represented to her victims
that she had a natural instinct for
music. She would send out letters
asking for a donation of 25 cents
and requesting the party receiving
the. letter to write letters to three
friends asking for a donation.
Each were, in turn, to write to
three other friends and so on down
the line. It is said that she re
ceived as high as §5 and $0 almost
every day in this manner. It wa>
discovered that she is not blind
and also that she does not know
one note of music from another,
but merely used this means of pro
viding herself with a little ready
cash. People continued to bite at
the scheme readily until the post
office department exposed the mat
ter. This reminds us of the truth
fulness of the old saying that there
is a sucker born every minute.
PRESIDENT IA L TIMB EK.
Congressman Gilbert II. Hitch
cock of the Second Nebraska Dis
trict, proprietor and publisher of
the Omaha World-Herald, which
has always been regarded as a
Bryan organ, said in a recent in
terview that in Ids opinion Judge
Parker was the strongest candidate
in the field for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
“Judge Parker may not be nom
inated, but he certainly is very
much in the lead of Hearst or any
other man now,” said Mr. Hitch
cock. “A possibility as the result
of a protracted struggle in the con
vention,” continued Mr. Hitch
cock. “is the nomination of a
Southern man. The South has
three men of presidential stature
j Cockrell of Missouri, Bailey of
Texas and John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi. It is only a ques
1 tion of time when a Democratic
j National Convention will remove
j the ban from the South and nomi
, nate one of her great men for
i President. Such a step may not
be made now, but it is a possi
bility.” _____
