RAILROADS FIGHT TWO-CENT LAW
Arrangements Being Made to
Institute Suit in The Fed
eral Court
The executive officers of the
Missouri and Arkansas railroads
held a conference in St. Louis
Thursday of last week to adopt
some concerted action with refer
ence to the enforcement of the 2
cent passenger rate legislation
adopted recently in the two States
named. Among the lines repre
sented were the Missouri Pacific,
the Iron Mountain, the Rock
Island, the Frisco and the Cotton
Belt.
The conclusion was reached that
on the ground of confiscation the
railroads affected must appeal to
the courts, and a resolution was
adopted directing the attorneys
to get together and devise the best
means of instituting legal proceed
ings with the view of restraingthe
operation of the new laws. The
attorneys were authorized to adopt
the best course without further
conference on the part of the ex
ecutive officers.
The litigation will probably take
the form of a suit in the Federal
Court to restrain the enforcement
of the new law. The 2 cent rate
goes into effect in Arkansas on
April 9th.
A TRIP TO TEXAS
To The Newark Journal:
On March 14th as our train was
moving out of Newark i waved a
farewell to my friends, as 1 had
a very sev ere case of the Lone
Star fever and believed the only
remedy was to go to Texas. Our
train did not make connection at
Texarkana so we left there at day-!
light Friday morning, viewing'
the entire route to Fort Worth, j
Leaving Texarkana, Atlanta is the
first good town. At deJrgrsTVn the j
oaks were gr^go" with foliage.
Near Mills Point we came to a
prairie, ^vhich extended to our
destination. (And I can see no
z ,.- ?-tin\oer yet) Dallas and Fort
Worth are large cities. We stayed
in Fort Worth about three hours.
Near Rajah we saw the first ranch
of white faced cattle and prarie
dogs. The next interesting sight
was Red river. It appeared to be
about one half mile across with no
water except very small streams
intersecting each other and having
a very high bank on the north and
extending by gradual slope to the
south. After traveling along its
banks for a few miles we crossed,
it being perfectly dry having a jip
bottom. But it is sometimes a
great river.
But 1 must hurry on to Mem
phis, our jouneys end. We arrived
here about 9:30 the 16th. This is
a nice town of more than 1500
people and has a Baptist, Metho
dist and Presbyterian church, each
having a station preacher and
sabbath-school. This is a rapidly
growing town. It is estimated
that fifty dwellings have been built
in the last three mouths. A pecu ;
Rarity about transplanting trees
here is, they do not grow very high
peach trees only about ten feet
My Texas fever is about cool i
guess it will be an Arkansas attack
next. Don’t forget my Journal
Mr. Editor for away out here
where I roam I love to read the
news from home.

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE
The second quarterly conference
for the Sulphur Rock Circuit will
be held at Mount Herman, April
‘21 and 22. The official members
will take notice that this will be
Sunday and Monday. There be
ing IS pastoral charges in this dis
trict, the presiding elder cannot
possibly give each one a Saturday
and Sunday. And this is the
reason our quarterly meeting
comeson Sunday and Monday. We
are expected to take our share in
the week a-day meetings. And if
any should complain about it, the
remedy is with the members of
our church. Give the presiding
elder 13 pastoral charges, and he
can then give each one a full Sat
day and Sunday meeting. This
can be done and will be done when
the support is adequate. So you
see, brethren where the remedy
lies. The presiding elder will
preach at Mount Herman on Sun
day night the 21st, then hold the
business session at 9 a. m. on the
22nd and preach again at 11.
Brother come, don’t let a matter
keep you away, that if you will
begin to arrange for today, will
not likely get in your way. But
if you do not plan to go to this
Monday morning service, you are
not likely to be there. The finan
cial condition of this charge calls
for your active service and for
your presence at the quarterly
meeting. Come, and come pray
ing the blessing of God on your
pastors, both presiding elder and
pastor and each other and our God
has promised his blessing on such
service. Your Servant,
«Tas. F. J krnigan.
GOV. LITTLE’S CONDITION
Corpus Christi, March HO.—
Travel has b&en suggested to Gov
ernor Little by his physicians as
soon as he is sufficiently strong to
stand a trip, and it has been de
cided that the governor and party
will act on this advice of the physi
cians. The itinerary for this trip
has not been settled, but if the
weather continues warm it is pro
bable the governor will visit the
lake cities of the north.
Governor Little was forced to
remain indoors today because of
the inclemency of the weather, a
light rain having prevailed
throughout the day. His condi
tion is reported as improving
daily.
No plans have been made as to
the return of Governor Little to
Little Rock, as his physicians posi
tively decline to permit him to re
turn to the cares of state for at
least one month.
KILLED BY MAIL TRAIN
Carlisle, March HO.—Clarence
Yancy, a deputy sheriff living near
Tomberlin, was instantly killed
here at 11:45 this morning within
50 yards of the depot, by being
struck by the Rock Island’s west
bound mail train from Memphis.
Yancy crossed a track between
two cars and .just as he stepped on
the main line he was struck by the
train. He was thrown about about
live feet from the track and when
he was picked up it was found
that his neck was broken and life
was extinct.
There is a lot of difference be
tween lip service and heart service.
That hacking cough continues

TRIBUTE TO MON. VV.S.WRIGHT
Will Wriht is dead. Never
again will we hear his musical
and kindly voice or behold his
classic features. Never again will
we be the recipient of his gentle
i raillery, nor hear his voice in be
half of the people whom he loved
“o well. When the news of his
death, so unexpected to us all was
received here, there was the most
■ universal and sincere expressions
of sorrow among all those who had
known him. He was widely known
' over the state, and none knew him
but to love him, and none named
him but to praise. 1 have been
intimately acquainted with him for
more than twenty year?, and with
utter disregard of the maxim, to
say nothing but good of the dead,
but in strict truth, I never knew a
man with liner sensibilities or a
higher sense of honor. In all my
| association with him, 1 never
heard him make a comment derog
atory to any woman or girl, and
while he would criticise men and
measures, he was as free from
malice and hate, and as pure and
j chaste in thought, as any woman
in the State of Arkansas. Abso
lutely incorruptible as a citizen
and legislator, the calcium light if
turned upon his professional
career, would only bring the
I clearer to view his unimpeachable
integrity. Possessed and endowed
by nature with a mind aud in
tellect of the very highest order
1
he could reach heights and grasp
the most intricate legal problems
that were capable of human inter
pretation, and in this respect was
unquestionably the ablest lawyer
of his age in the State.
nui ueyonu unu uversuauowiug
his magnificent intellect was his
unsullied honor and his unselfish
devotion to his friends, and being
one of a vast number ' of those
whom he loved, 1 say to the others
that you never had nor never lost
a truer, better friend. He did not
know the meaning of the word in
gratitude, nor did he ever fail to
respond to a call for sympathy or
aid. No sacrifice was too great
for him to make, and the people
of the grand old county where he
was born and lived never had a
better champion nor a more elo
quent advocate. The writer be
lieves with the sentiment express
ed by the great senator from Ken
tucky in his oration at the tomb of
Governor Cobel of that state, that
“earth never pillowed on her
bosom a knightlier spirit, nor
heaven opened wide her portals to
receive a kindlier soul,” than
when Will Wright’s gentle spirit
winged its way from earth to
heaven and his mortal body was
laid beneath the sod.
"The bridegroom may forget his bride
of yes’tern,
The king may forget the crown upon
his head an hour has been.
The mother may forget the babe upon
her knee,
But 1 will remember thee my friend
And all that thou hast been to me.”

BABY DROWNED IN WELL
Siloam Springs, March 31.—The
little 4-year old daughter of Ed
ward George, residing one mile
east of here, fell into a well in the
dooryard of her father’s home
yesterday and was drowmed. The
platform of the well broke, letting
her fall.
The well was forty feet deep
and contained twenty feet of
water. The body was in the water
fifteen minutes before help could
arrive. A neighbor was lowered
inh) the well and recovered the
little body, but life was extinct.
You do not have to pray loud in
order to convince your neighbor
that you are are a Christian.
