The Stone County News is
iH'Ostinir Hon. R. K. .Jeffrey of
Newport for prosecuting attorney.
Air. Jeff rey was formerly a citizen
of Stone county, and the News is
unstinted in its praise of him.
Arkansas has no millionaires and
the pauper class is infinitely small.
The wealth of the state is distrib
uted among the people, conse
quently the ma.jorty are what is
termed “well-off" and contented.
(lovernor Davis has written an!
interesting article on farmers' or
ganizations for Farm and Ranch,,
which we reproduce on the 7th!
page of today's paper. His argil
ment is sound and logical, and The1
Journal heartily endorses it.

From a report sent out by the
Southern Cotton Association it ap
pears that the farmers of Arkan
sas have made a greater reduction
in the cotton acreage than in any
other state. The reduction in
Arkansas is estimated at IT per
•cent, while some states have made
only a lu or 11 percent reduction,
and Texas has reduced the acre
age only I.‘i per cent.
Hon. \V. A. OklHeld seems to
be meeting with a groat deal of
encouragement in his race for con
gress, and reports from all over
the district indicate that lie is
going1 to he a strong candi
date. The .Journal has heard no
definite announcement as to who
will oppose him, hut the man who
does will certainly have to hustle,
as Mr. Okliield is a horn hustler,
having educated himself, and risen
to his present position by hat !
work and close application to duty.
The suit against the llartfor
Insurance Co. under the new anti
trust law lias been set for argu
ment in tht* supreme court for
Monday, June lb, and it is ex
pected that a decison will be ren
dered b\ the court within two
weeks after the case is argued. If
these plans are carried out, the
fate of the King-Davis anti-trust,
law will soon be known, and if the
law is held constitutional by the
-supreme court, the state can then
drive every trust, beyond its bor
ders, no matter where the trust
was formed.
The Pocahontas Star needn’t get
its back up so: The Journal hasn't
any desire to enter a controversy
with it regarding the merits of its
wonderful “patent insides," and
as to it “patterning after The
Journal." we sincerely trust it
never will, for it always did
make us feel had to have some
half-witted fellow following after
or trying to imitate us. The Star
seems to be greatly impressed with
its own importance and its won
derful ability, but the most re
markable trait we have yet been
able to discover in the Star is its
wonderful ability to prevaricate.
As a prevaricator it certainly is
entitled to the blue ribbon.
1)0 SOMETHING.
There fire young men in every
community who have no occupa
tion because they have not been
able to find an opening in that par
ticular line that suits their inclina
tion. They have gone alorg for
years waiting for such an opening
to occur, and have finally become
dissatisfied with life. They have
made a mistake and those who
have encouraged them in such a
course are likewise to blame.
Perhaps it is some ambitious par
ent who has thus unthoughtedly
injured his off spring. We use the
term "in jured" advisedly, for no
greater injury can come to a young
man than to contract habits of
thriftlessness in hi> early youth.
If he has been reared to believe
that something good would come
to him because he happened to be
the offspring of such and such a
family, he has been grievously
wronged. In this practical age
only merit succeeds, and each in
dividual must establish for himself
that character in the business
world which is to sustain his fu
ture. False pride has deterred
many from the first step in what
might have proved a successful
career. Any honest employment
is preferrable to a life of idleness.
The young man who remains with
out work for any considerable
time gets the reputation of “a ne'r
do well," and business men do
not want that kind of help.
BIG BOTTOM CROP PROSPECT.
To The Newark duurnnl:
The writer passed through a
large portion of the crops in Big
Bottom last Saturday, and must
say that I found crops in a better
shape than 1 ever saw them at this
time of year. But when the
farmers have had time to do all
the work is more than 1 can un
derstand. Crops are all clean,
and there are good stands of both
corn Mud cotton. Crops are not as
large as they usually are at this
time of the year, but the good
farmers have no room to kick at
the prospect.
I was on a fishing expedition,
and the little things did bite well
of course I mean the mosquitoes.
A Rkaoku.
WILL OPEN SEPTEMBER 1ST.
It is reported that the construc
tion work on the White River
road is progressing in a very ^at
bfactory manner. The track is
laid to a |>oint tliree miles heyound
Hear creek, and the telegraph line
b being built to that place. I he
holes tor the posts fire dug four
miles beyond Bergman, the pres
ent terminus of the wire, and the
line will he put into Bear creek
within a short time. The track
laying has proceeded to a point 4!S
miles beyond (.’otter, the division
point, and there is every reason to
believe that the road will be open
ed by the first of September. Kv
ery effort is being made to com
plete it by this date, in order to
he able to handle the great amount
of traffic which will begin to move
about that time.
DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS LOADED
A 12-year-old daughter of Ed
Waters of Warren was accidental
ly shot and her ankle so badly
shattered that amputation of the
limb below the knee was necessary.
A young man hoarding in the
family was carelessly snapping an
old shot gun that no one thought
was loaded when it exploded. The
girl was sitting but a few feet
from the mu/./.le of the gun, and
the whole load took effect, nearly
severing the foot.
It is reported that Senator Clark
of Montana has purchased mineral
lands in Marion county and that
he proposes to increase his hold
ings.
CAME BACK TO HIS OWN.
Eeflections of a Busy City Man Who
Found Himself in Quietest
Part of Maine.
The man who lives in a great
city becomes accustomed to its
noises. Then some day the man
goes out of town, to the mountains
or to the quietude of rural life,
says the New York Sun.
“That’s what I did.” said a man
w’.ose place of business is in old
John street. “I was in the quiet
est part of Maine. For two weeks
I Imd to fight for sleep.
“The quietness, the awful still
ness of the night, actually kept me
awake until at last I had to resort
to opiates. I had heard of this
sort of thing before, but 1 had never
experienced it. W hen 1 returned
to the city I was like a boy coming
home.
“ fhe first nay I was at my desk
I shoved up the window. The old
familiar cry of “hey up’ from the
teamsters sounded comforting.
Then the clang of the trolley ear
gongs broke in upon me, and I felt
good.
“I heard the battle of teamsters
just below—t hat old fight for space
and place that goes on the vear
round in the city. I longed to see
them go at one another in bulldog
style.
“Not a sound that I had heard
for a year had changed. The noise
was no greater, no less. I think if
any man had dropj>ed out I should
have noticed it. This had a sort of
consolation in it. “They are all
here,’ I murmured to myself.
“Then J looked out toward the
crush at the crossing of Nassau
street. I saw the pushcart man
, fight ing lo hold his own. He looked
; so natural.
“At the opposite corner I saw a
pedler whom I have seen there for
years. I have bought my shoe
laces and trinkets from him for so
long that I should feel lonely if he
were to go.
“And when I started for home
that first day on my return the
, same old policeman heljied me
across, just as he had done these
many years. 1 spoke to him and
thanked him more sincerely than
I had ever done before.
“He didn’t know I had been
away. He hadn't missed me, but
J I'd missed him.
“When I went to bed that night
I threw open my window and fell
I asleep to the noise and rattle of
| the elevated trains. 1 had return
ed to nay ow n.”

is the favorite because it is the simplest press ever made.
You can't beat it. It has all the strong points, will put lull
weight into a car, is easy and light to move, and it can’t go
wrong or get out ot order because there is nothing about it
to get out of order. Just a plunger, a double cam and a
plunger draw. But they are well made. That’s the secret.
Come in and let's talk this matter over. You can't tell all
about the David Bradley Press just from the picture.
