The voting- population of Arkansas
is increasing at the rate of about 5,000
a year. There is no “boom" on in
Arkansar, but these figures show that
the state is enjoying a steady and sub
stantial growth.
Another cry has gone up from cer
tain quarters in Little Rock for a
special session of the legislature. It
would he better for the people if the
legislature could meet only every four
years, hut there are a few grafters in
Little Rock who would like to see the
legislature in session all the time.
A farmer told his 12-year-old son to
milk the cows, feed the horses, slop
the pigs, hunt up the eggs, feed the
calves, catch the colt and put him in
the stable, cut some wood, split the
kindling, pump fresh water for the
cows, and he sure to study his lessons
before he went to bed. Then he went
to the Union meeting to discuss the
question, ‘‘How to keep the boys on
the farm."
One of the best and brightest things
we can give, is kind words. They
have well been likened to the bright
flowers of earth's existence. Use them
every where, but especially around
the tire-side; they will make a paradise
out of a hovel. Nothing can heal a
wounded heart, or cheer a crushed
spirit like kind words. Let us not be
so careful how we use them, for they
are the greatest blessing earth can
give.
In the circuit court at Dresden.
Term., last Tuesday, Homer L. Higgs,
former secretary of the National
Farmers Union and editor of the offi
cial organ, the “National Farmer."
was sentenced to hard labor in the
state penitentiary for one year by
a jury who, on the testimony of his
housemaid, found him guilty of setting
lire to his own house. Several tires
in which the defendant was alleged to
have profited t>v the insurance there
on, figured in the trial for arson. The
conviction has created quite a sensa
tion throughout the entire country, as
Higgs was not not only a prominent
figure in Farmers Union eircicles, but
was also a Baptist preacher of some
note, as well being a former member
of the Jamestown Imposition Commis
sion.

No country is ever developed by the
people sitting around and wai ing for
something to turn up. li is tie busy,
hustling community which always
succeeds best. Opportunities for im
provement lie all about this section of
the country, and only await the intelli
gent effort of the people to bloom into
nrogress and prosperity. There is
nothing gained by sitting still and
saying, “it's no use."—.Monroe Coun
ty Citizen.
It is not infrequent that newspapers
find themselves unappreciated by the
men whom they have favored by their
support, column after column being
published in their favor, and yet such
favors, when the test comes, are un
appreciated. When you find your
home paper taking no interest in your
sueeeess, when you find it keeping
aggravatingly silent when you think
the editor should lie tearing his linen
in your behalf, do not work yourself
into a fever of anxiety as to the cause
but just ask yourself wherein have
you placed the paper and its editor
under obligation to use space and
energy for your special benefit?
There is a Divine law of rewards.
When the Creator gave us the earth,
with its fruitful soil, the sunshine with
its warmth, and the rains with their
moisture, He proclaimed, as clearly as
if His voice had thundered from the
clouds, “Go work, and according to
your industry and intelligence, so
shall be your reward.” Only where
might has overthown, cunning under
mined, or government susjiended this
law, has a different law prevailed. To
conform the governments to this law
ought to be the ambition of the states
man: and no party can have a higher
mission than to make it a realitx
wherever governments can legitimately
operate. — From Bryan’s speech of ac
ceptance. _

N( )RT11ERN LY NCHIN6S
Some Northern pcojile waste a lot
of sympathy on the negroes of the
South, and roundly denounce the
Southern whites for occassionally
lynching a black brute who has de
spoiled the sacred honor of innocent
womanhood, but the recent shameful
episode in Springfield, 111., the home of
Abraham Lincoln, proves how hollow
are the professions of Northern solici
tude for the negro.
A few days ago two negroes com
mitted the crime in Springfield which
has cost many a black brute his life.
A mob gathered to lynch the negroes
but the negroes were spirited away by
the officers to avert a lynching. The
mob became infuriated anil three
negroes who were entirely unconnect
ed with the crimes have been lynched,
a business house belonging to a man
who loaned an automobile to the
sheriff to take the prisoners away has
been wrecked, the torch applied to a
large number of negro buildings, and
half a hundred people have l>een more
or less seriously injured in the general
race riot which became so serious as
to necessitate calling out the state
malitia to restors peace and order.
People of the North profess great
love for the negro and some brainless
white bipeds even go so far as to de
mand the social equality of the races,
and give social equality dinners, as
I

was the case in New York recently.
But when, as a result of these foolish
pratings, and the idiotic conduct of
the brainless bipeds, both male and
female, who thus permit, eontenance
and encourage the idea of social
equality, some black brute in human
form, thus encouraged by the whites,
makes bold to carry out the sexual
passions incited by these unthinking
whites who are a liUd on white man
hood, a shameful disgrace to their
race and an utter abomination in the
sight of a just God—when the lust of
the negro becomes incited by these,
and he proceeds, forcibly if need be,
to carry out the idea implanted within
him by the whites, by despoiling the
sacred honor of womanhood —then what
does tlu* Northern man do?
He has acted the fool by taking a
serpent into his house to warm it, and
is bitten. What does he do?
Why, lie goes on the warpath. In
dian fashion, shoots down negroes for
no other reason than that his p« judi
cial anger against the whole negro
race has become aroused: this puny
and warty little brainless bump of
llesh that is a living libel upon the
whole Anglo-Saxon race, has run
amuck for a sheer lack of decency and
good common horse sense: he is on
fire, with anger over an act brought
on by his own folly: be dips further
into the depths of human depravity,
and indiscriminately applies the torch
to the property of negroes along with
that of any white brother who would
shield the negro from the infuriated
and revengeful ire of the self-same
brainless, goat-headed, blatant biped
who is only reaping what he has
sown.
Fate has laid a heavy hand upon
the South by giving her the burden of
the negro population of the nation,
and while it is true that she frequently
puts a crimp in the race by taking
some black brute out and lynching
him, she never panders to his deprav
ed animal instincts and passions by
preaching social equality to him and
the next minute turn around and try
to erase him from the face of the earth,
for following the tacit suggestions of
his preceptor.
The ne.xt Northern donkey who be
gins to bray about the poor down
trodden negroes of the South ought to
he shot, full in the face, opened mouth
ed, with a twenty-inch cannon loaded
to the muzzle with material gathered
fresh from the cow lot. and The Jour
nal would like to pull the trigger.
