Emma Goldman the “high

writings and lectures caused the

cause of this action.

Senator Jas. Jones told Ex
Governor Clarke a few things in
his speech in Searcy last Monday.
—Augusta Vidette.
This is news to most everyone.
The Vidette no doubt got a scoop
on its information. We wonder
if the Vidette heard of what
Clarke said of Jones. It doesn’t
have anything to say of Jones’
explanation of his connection
with the American Cotton Co.,
or of the source of his influence
with the republican administra
tion. What in the world did the
senator say anyway that may
call for such a statement as ap
peared in the Vidette.
Quite a howl has gone up from
the tax-payers of our county in
regard to the action of the re
cent Board of Equalization. The
board can well be called the
“Board of Propagation.” Thie
board met for the purpose ol
equalizing the taxation of the cit
izens of the county. In the place
of equality in some cases it has
raised the valuation higher thar
the property could sell for when
the times are flush. In the place
of equalizing as they might have
done they raised almost the
whole list as it stood before,
with some exceptions of course.
While the valuation given for
most property was no doubt at a
figure lower than its actual value,
and wrhile it is a hard matter for
a body to get together and suit
everyone, yet when some pro
perty seems to be assessed for
more than its actual value, figur
ing at the very highest figures
possible and others lowered
when they already stood at a
figure far belowr their actual
worth, it does seem strange to a
man up a tree. While we have
as yet not received a list of the
“raising” we can not speak of it
as we might if we were in full
possession of the facts. There
fore we will refrain from saying
what we would like to say. While
we believe in equitable taxation,
we don’t believe in one or two
men running the county, if such
be the case.

A Communication.
Mr. Editor—Allow me to
speak a few words in favor of
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I
suffered for three years with the
bronchitis and could not sleep at
nights. I tried several doctors
and various patent medicines,
but could get nothing to give me
any relief until my wife got a
bottle of this valuable medicine,
which has completely relieved
me.—W. S. Brockman, Bagnell,

Dr. J. B. Neal of MeCrory and
A. S. Thompson of DeView.

: Blake:
! Whereas our national leader
1 has been stricken down in'death,
‘ a terrible bereavement has be
1 fallen our nation. This is a crime

trate of the United States, but
5 every law-abiding and hberty

Therefore be it resolved, that

Resolved further, that we ex

act such laws as will effectually
destroy every organization which
teaches the dangerous doctrines
of anarchy.

Water Cure for Chronic Constipation
Take two cups of hot water
half an hour before each meal
and just before going to bed, also
a drink of water, hot or cold,
about two hours after each meal.
Take lots of out door exercise—
walk, ride, drive. . Make a regu
lar habit of this and in many
cases chronic constipation may
be cured without the use of any
medicine. When a purgative is
required take something mild
| and gentle like Chamberlain’s
; Stomach and Giver Tablets. For
