PRESIDENT BURNETT TALKS
Advises Farmers to Hold on to
Their Cotton and Quit Feed
ing the Bears.
i -
President B. H. Burnett of the
Arkansas branch of the Southern
Cotton Association, has addressed
i the following open letter to the
people of the cotton counties in
Arkansas:
An open letter to the people:
The time is here for us as true
patriots to be up and doing. The
cotton market is wavering, and
some (alas, too many!) of our peo
ple, and especially merchants, are
selling cotton and feeding the hun
gry “bears'’ enough to make them
hold on a little longer and try with
might and main to thwart our ef
forts, and make true their asser
tions that the farmers would not
stick together or do anything that
would be to their financial interest.
I would most earnestly appeal
to farmers, merchants, bankers
and business men of whatever
kind or calling, and all true South
ern men, to come together as one
man and let us unite our forces
under the banner of the Southern
Cotton Association as adopted at
the New Orleans convention, and
organize in each and every town
ship of the K12 cotton growing
counties and parishes of the South
and to do this organizing now. I
would especially urge the organi
zation of the state of Arkansas at
once. Let us not stand back and
wait to see what some other state
is going to do. Let us be up and
doing and be in front of the pro
cession.
I am well pleased with the pro
gress that is being made in some
of the counties of our state, but
am sorry to see that there are
some counties that have not made
the progress in this direction that
1 feel they should have made. 1
am very anxious to see every man
who is interested in the upbuild
ing of this beautiful Southland,
and especially in the grand old
state of Arkansas, put himself in
the harness and get to work for
this noblest of causes.
To the merchants, bankers and
business men generally 1 would
say, we want and are satisfied we
will receive the hearty co-opera
tion of the most of you, anti we
feel that we should receive it, be
cause if the farmer prospers you
will prosper also, and unless the
farmer gets something for his pro
duct above the cost of production, |
there is no chance for any branch
of business to prosper.
I know there are some who will
stand idly by and wait for others
| to make it possible for them to
! get fair prices for their product,
and will not contribute one cent to
| the cause. We will find this class
; in all communities, but I am proud
to say this class of men are very
scarce among our true Southern
people.
The question of finances is one
I that is greatly retarding the work.
| Everyone is aware of the fact that
j it takes money to do what the
[Southern Cotton Association is
land has been doing since January
I 26 last. I would recommend that
each county in this state appoint
I organizers to go into the field and
organize every township as rapid
ly as possible, select your best
men and pay them for their work
where they demand pay, also ap
point committees to solicit funds
from any and all who feel dispos
ed to help in this great cause.
Men of Arkansas! We must
win this light. The enemy’s lines
are faltering. Let us make one
grand charge by fully organizing
our grand old state and the solid
South, and we will put them to
route, and it will never be neces
sary for us to make another such
a struggle, for our enemies, the
“bear” speculators, will then real
ize that we still have the patriot
ism of the men who gave us our
liberty as a nation, and that the
South can and will do what she
undertakes.
In conclusion I would again
urge you one and all to join the
Southern Cotton Association at
once, reduce your acreage for
1905 at least 25 per cent, diversify
your crop, hold your cotton and
help to win the victory.
This is a battle for the women
and children of our country. Let
us true Southern men stand shoul
der to shoulder for that which just
ly belongs to us.
B. H. Burnktt, Pres.
KILLED AT HIS HOME.
DeWitt, March 17.—While An
derson Baker, a hard working
peaceable negro, living near Shilo
in this county, twelve miles north
of this place, was sitting in his
own house Monday night counting
over some money, he was fired on
by an assassin and instantly killed.
Suspicion pointed to Henry Liv
ingston, another negro as the guil
ty person.

PUBLICATION OF NEW LAWS
Bill Providing For the Publication
of all New Laws Has Pass
ed the Senate.
Early in the session of the pres
ent general assembly Senator Lo
gan introduced a bill which pro
vides that all new laws passed by
each session of the general assem
bly shall be published in one paper
in each county. The bill has pass
ed the senate and will soon becall
ed up for final action in the house.
This is the only effectual way of
getting the new laws before the
people. Under the present regime
the legislature meets and passes
laws which the people are required
to observe, but heretofore there
has been no provision made for in
forming the people of the new
laws which they must obey.
The bill is printed below in full,
and as there is some doubt of it
passing the house, we would sug
gest that if our readers favor the
passage of the bill, they write to
some of the representative mem
bers of the house, asking them to
vote for the bill. Mr. Raney has
informed The Journal that he fa
vors the bill and will vote for it.
The bill in full is as follows:
An Act to be entitled an Act to
Provide for the Publication of tho
Acts of the General Assembly in
One Newspaper in Each County
in the State
Be it enacted by the Cfeneral As
sembly of the State of Arkansas:
Sec. 1. That all the Acts of the

quent General Assemblies shall bo

paper having been printed contin
uously in such county for a period
of not less than one year. Provid
ed, that special Acts shall be pub
lished only in such counties a*
may be affected by such acts.
Sec. 2. Within sixty days after
the adjournment of the Genera!
Assembly it shall be the duty of
the Secretary of State to prepare
and send out, in the same manner
that proposed constitut i o n a I
amendments are now prepared and
sent out, copies of all said general
Acts to one newspaper in each
county in the State and all Special
Acts to a newspaper in each of tho
counties affected thereby, which
shall he published in one issue of
said paper, the rate for such pub
lication not to exceed twenty-five
cents per inch set in type not larger
than ten-point solid, the cost of
same to be paid out of the general
printing and binding fund.
Sec. 3. That all laws and parts
of laws in conflict herewith be and
ire hereby repealed, and this Act
shall take effect and lie in force
from and after its passage.
BOY HANGED HlflSELF.
Cecil Rhodes, a seven-year-old
boy, hanged himself with a trace
:*hain at his father’s barn near
Lick Mountain in Conway county
>ne day last week. The child’s
tender age precludes the idea that
ie was capable of entertaining:
houghts of deliberate self-destruo
:.ion, and the supposition is that
iis imagination was fired by hear
ing accounts of the public hanging
>f ( harles Hammons at Morrilton
-ecently. He is surmised to have
mdertaken to experiment to the
extent of experiencing how it feels
0 be hanged, and in his childish,
nnocence to have carried the ven
ure too far.
The boy’s little sister was play
ng with him, but she is too small
.<> give an intelligent account of
ler brother’s death.
A vein of hard coal was struck:
it a depth of forty feet iu drilling:

uns, a few days ago.

THE SHORT LINE TO
“THE LAND OF FULFILLMENT”
BILIOUSNESS
CONSTIPATION
CURED BYi(
THEDFORDS
BLACK-OR AUGHT
Because the liver is
neglect) d people suffer
with constipation, biliousness,
headaches and fevers. Colds attack’
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. It is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would he almost unknown.
Thedford's Black-Draught is so
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without a rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con
stipation and may be taken bv a
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. It has an in
vigorating effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
ti e bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timelv treatment with Thed
ford’s Black-Draught removes the
dangers which lurk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright's disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. . Ask your dealer for a
| ‘25c. package 9$ Black-,
Draught.
