FRIDAY. APRIL 27, 1906
At the recent meeting: of the At -1
Transas Rankers Association it was
pointed out by President Smith I
that the deposits in the banks of
this state have increased more j
than 500 per cent in the past live
3ears. This is a pretty good indi
cation that Arkansas is prosper
ous.
A state fair will be held at Lit- j
He Rock this fall—at least that is |
the decision of the Business Men’s
JLeague of that city, and The
«fournal sincerely hopes that the
decision will be carried into effect.
^Nothing would do more to bring i
capital and immigration toArkan-l
sas than a first class state fair.
The supreme court has denied
the motion for a rehearing in the
case of Representative George F.
Chapline of Monroe county, who |
was convicted in the Pulaski cir
cuit court on a charge of conspir-j
acy to bribe and fined £25 and
costs. This action of the supreme
court removed the last chance of
securing a reversal of the verdict
of the lower court and there is
now nothing for Chapline to do
but to pay the amount of the tine ;
and costs.
COLORED FARHERS ORGANIZE
General Superintendennt An
drew J. Corathera has issued a
call for a meeting to be held at
.Pine Bluff on May H. The object
of the meeting is to organize a
state colored Farmers Progressive
Union.
County and local unions are to !
hold meetings tomorrow to select
delegates. I
THE SITUATION AT SAN FRANCISCO
Relief Funds are Pouring in and
Stricken City Will Soon be
on its Feet Again
The city of San Francisco which
1 was so nearly destroyed last week
by an earthquake, is gradually
, recovering and resuming its nor
j nial activities.
Accounts vary as to the number
of people killed, and the actual
number of deaths will probably
never be known. The coroner
says the death list will number at
least one thousand, while others
say it will not reach 500.
Temporary structures and tents
were erected in Golden Gate Park
for housing the homeless, of whom
there is estimated to he 40,000.
Many of the homeless are being
sent out of the city and the rail
roads are furnishing free trans
portation for all such who procure
orders for same from the proper
officials. Orders were issued pro
hibiting outsiders entering the
city.
me total loss to property, it is
said, will exceed two hundred mil
lion dollars.
Relief funds have been sent in
from all parts of the country.
New York City gave $8,210,000;
the U. S. government $2,500,000,
and many cities, fraternal orders
and individuals have contributed
to the fund. Up to Wednesday
night the total amount contributed
from all sources was $12,448,284,
and it is estimated that the fund
will reach eighteen million or per
haps twenty million dollars when
the contributions are all in.
Little Rock has contributed $5,
000.
Steps are already being taken
to organize a movement for re
building the city.
I Dr. \V. G. Rosehrough has op
ened an office in Newark and will
be in the city on Monday, the first
day in each week. Office at Gal
loway’s restaurant. Can do all
kinds of dental work and will
guarantee it.
Farmers and stock raisers are
invited to call at Robinson’s livery
stable and see the fine $2,600
horse. He’s a beauty.
The most skillful cutters
and tailors are to be found
in the metropolitan cities.
This is one of the many
reasons why we can give
better values than the local
tailor can — at a little more
than half his price.
You'll appreciate what the 4
easy feel is in one of our
suits.
We’ll show you an assort
ment of 500 styles of wool
ens to select from.
Made to your measure—
taken by us.

A STATEMENT FROM MR, EDWARDS
He Endorses Action of School Au
thorities in Punishing His
Child For Misbehavior
To The Newark Journal:
l have received several letters
in regard to the correction of ray
boy, Cliff Edwards, which took
place in the public school of your
town some time ago, a complaint
of which was published in The
Journal.
From what I can learn of the
matter, I endorse the action of
Prof. Wynn, for you know the
way I am situated, it is impossible
for me to be with my children,
and I consider it a personal favor
to both myself and my children
for a man of the attainments, age
and talents of Prof. Wynn to cor
rect my children, either in or out
of school; and if it requires a little
lashing to teach them how to be
have, I say just give it to them.
When the child grows to manhood
he will see where it was to his
benefit.
I don t consider a man my triend
I or a friend to my children who
| will not correct them when he sees
and knows they need it.
In my absence I would like for
my older friends to talk to my
children and teach them right
from wrong, and when they see
them doing something they ought
not to do, to correct them, I
want my boys to grow up and
make good men, for they are all I
have to live for.
I believe that if all parents
would be more strict on their
children at home, and assist the
teachers in their work of properly
training them, instead of putting
hatred in their minds against the
teachers, so many of the states
would not have to keep enlarging
the penitentiaries.
With best wishes for all my old
friends I will close.
W. A. Edwards,
Los Angeles, Cali., April 20.
