TELEPHONE NUMBER 59.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1903
Fourteen candidates have an
nounced in the papers up in Izard
county. _________
The Journal would like to see
the town council take some defi
nite action in regard to a city hall
building. __________
We hear a good deal of political
talk, and the county campaign
will probably open up in earnest
about the first of January.
It is reported that murderer
Jim Tillman of South Gorlina will
also seek “vindication'' by asking
the people of that state to elect
him governor.
Chas. Jacobson, private secre
tary to Governor Davis, has been
indicted by the federal grand ju
ry on a charge of violating the
federal statutes in mailing a postal
card to Wycliffe Gray, a Fort
Smith newspaperman, upon which
was written language of a libelous
ana aetamavory character.
It is reported that Governor
Davis will in a short time begin
the publication of a semi-weekly
newspaper in Little Rock. We
suppose he wants to make sure of
a soft (?) job in case he should meet
defeat in the coming primary.
The Newport News intimates
that there is a combination among
the cotton buyers of that place to
lower the price of the fleecy stap
le. Newport has, until two years
ago, been getting practically all
the cotton raised in the famous Oil
Trough country, but since New
ark has come to the front as a cot
ton market a large portion of the
cotton from that territory lias
been coming here, and now that
the Newport buyers are endeavor
ing to beat down the price, our
buyers should make a little spec
ial effort to let the farmers in the
territory between here and New
port know that they can get all
their cotton is worth by bringing
it here. It is a fact that cotton has
been selling for more here in New
ark for the past two weeks than
the buyers at either Newport or
Batesville have been paying and
the farmers of the Oil Trough
country who have been selling
their cotton at Newport are now
no doubt awakening to a realiza
tion of the fact that they have
been made the victims of a con
spiracy. ________
AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
A certain Northern man who
travels over this part of the coun
try a good deal, spent a couple of
days in town not long ago and in
a general discussion as to the fu
ture of Newark and the advantages
| it posessed over many other towns
in this section of the state, the
gentleman remarked that he liked
I the town very much, and if he had
j any intention of coming South he
; would like to locate here, but ad
1 ded that there was one thing that
1 would cause him to hesitate about
locating here, and that was that
lake standing right here in town.
The .Journal has frequently called
attention to the fact that this un
sightly pond was a serious draw
back to the town and we have ur
ged that it be drained oti'and cleaned
up. It is not only a serious men
ace to the health of tin? town, but
gives people passing through on
the train the erroneous impression
that Newark is located in the
swamps. This pond could be easily
drained at a very small cost, and
if it was drained and cleared of
brush the change would add much
to the beauty and healthfulness of
the town.
This is a matter of vital impor
tance to the town and we hope at
no distant day to see the matter
taken up by the proper parties
and given attention.
FACTIONAL POLITICS.
Hon. A. C. Dixon of Melbourne
has announced himself a candi
date for re-election as representa
tive from Izard county upon a
strict anti-Davis platform. He has
issued an address in which he
sets forth his position clearly and
unequivocally. He declares that
his reasons for opposing Davis are
numerous and well founded. He
cites a number of his reasons for
opposing Jeff and closes his ad
dress with the following langu
age.
‘•The most prominent feature in the
governor’s character is his mania for
lyintf. In this he has proven himself
eminently proficient, and like others
| of his kind, in- is a notorious coward.
1 cannot support a man whom I know
to possess these characteristics.”
It seems that politics in Arkan
sas is worked up to the point where
a candidate for any office must a
lign himself either with the Davis
or anti-Davis element and must
, or f.,i| upon his attitude toward
the governor.
This i- a very sorry sfan of af
fairs and is deeply deplored by
men who would like to see political
campaigns conducted along lines
of decency. All officials should
be chosen upon their merits, and
not upon the position they take in
regard to the gubernatorial con
test.
Of course a candidate may claim
the right to align himself with
either faction, but from The Jour
nal’s view of politics the people
should sit down on any man who
thus seeks to stir up factional
strife in the democratic party,
and elect the man who professes
to run upon his own merits. This
thing of trying to get into office
by denouncing some other man,
or by swinging onto the coat tail
of some other man, is degrading
to polities and to the man who us
es it. and no really intelligent man
will employ such methods of;
| campaigning.
A Quick Settlement.
Mrs. W. J. Freeze’s barn was
destroyed by fire on the 24th and
'I'. J. Raney, local agent for the
Planters Mutual Insurance Com
pany, settled with her in full on
the 28th. This is certainly the!
quickest settlement that was ever j
made in Newark, and any one de
siring good reliable insurnce should
insure in the Planters.

City Marshal Killed Butcher.
Cotton Plant, Oct. 28.—Today
T. .V. Smith, city marshal of Cot
ton Plant, shot and killed Ernest
F. Koch, a meat cutter employed
by E. R. Hysmith. Bad feeling
had existed for some time between
the men and Koch today demand
| ed a retraction of a bad name which
j Smith had called him. Koch used
a shotgun to force the retraction
and after getting it unloaded the
guriand put it where he got it. He
then came on the street again.
Smith approached him and fired
four shoty at Koch, only one of
no. • \ ;T ■••{. T fatal shot,
entered the\abdomen just below
\
\ .
the umbilicus, causing death in
two hours. Koch was born in
Berlin, Germany, and was a high
ly respected citizen, having worked
here for three years, Smith is in
the hands of the county officers.
Ten Dollars Reward.
I will pay ten dollars reward
for the arrest and conviction of the
party or parties who stole the
double tree and single trees oil ol
one of my John Deere wagons that
were standing in the street in
front of The Journal office. Fred
D. Whiting.
