FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1909
Twelve cent cotton sounds good
t° us.
The senatorial aspirants are be
ginning to oil up their talking ap
aratus. _
The man who never makes a mis
take is the man who never does
anything.
Whats the matter with the \V.
O. W. band? Get busy, boys, and
organize the band.
Good deeds and kind words live
in the memory of our friends long
after we are dead. Don’t be a
lemon.
The man who gives his own
business due attention seldom has
time to attend to the business of
other people.
Few people arc doing their best.
Every one of us could do just a
little better than we are doing, if
we really wanted to.
If Governor Donaghey will get
busy and finish up the new state
capitol promptly and in good
shape, much will be forgiven.
The Journal hopes every dele
gate and visitor attending the
Methodist conference will carry
away some pleasant memories of
the occasion.
Hon. M. H. Patterson of Wood
ruff county is after the Hon. Bruce
Macon’s seat in congress. Patter
son is a mighty good man, and
The ,Journal hopes he’ll win.
Constant study is necessary to
success in any line of endeavor.
The man who never studies or
thinks seriously, will never climb
very high upon the ladder of
success.
The Paragould Soliphone thinks
there is glory for Jeff in his recent
speech in the senate on the tariff.1
It was a good speech—about the]
best he ever made—but who ever
heard of Jeff making a speech that!
didn’t have some glory in it for!
Jeff? _
Cotton made a new record for
the season in the New York mark
et Monday. October contracts sold
for 12.70 and December for 12.74,
a rise of 29 points above Saturday’s i
closing. The rise followed heavy
buying, inspired by unfavorable
weather conditions in Texas. ,
The Sharp County Record and '
the Beebe News are agreed that 1
Senator Jeff Davis has made a 1
national reputation. But we infer
that they are not agreed as to what!
kind of a reputation, so you see
the point of view from which we
see things plays quite an import
ant part in human affairs.
A sit-down and-wait method will
never get a man anywhere in this
age of modern aggressiveness.
The individual, town or communi
ty that sits down and waits for
Fortune to come along and knock
on the door, has a long, lazy job
on hand, and will awake some fine
day to find that the fellow who got
up and hustled has done got the
very thing nailed down that they’ve
been waiting for.
The man who makes money in a
community lias a duty to perform
toward that community. It may!
be that he has made his money by |
his superior business ability, and
that he would have done as well
anywhere, but that does not alter
the case. If his gifts are great his \
responsibilites are equally as great. |
No man was placed on earth for |
the sole purpose of making money, |
and the man who has this as his j
ideal places a very low estimate ]
upon life.
Several of the newspapers of
the state have seriously objected
to the action of Governor Dona- j
ghey in appointing H. L. Remmel,
a Republican, on the new state
eapitol commission. If Donaghey
never did anything worse than
that, he would make the state a
model governor. There is entirely
too much narrow partisan preju
dice in Arkansas, and the sooner
we get away from this narrow way
of trying to make it appear that
there is no ability or integrity out
side of our own political party,
the better it will be for us. Ev
erybody — Democrats, Republi
cans, Populists, and all others, are
taxed alike for the construction of
the state eapitol, and politics should
never enter a matter of this kind, j 1
The Journal believes in a broader,
higher and better way of doing
things than after the groveling
fashion of the petty politician who!
can see no honesty, no integrity,
no virtue and no ability in any ^
man except the fellow who sees
everything just as he does. Such
i man is a dangerous character in 3
governmental atfairs. Resides, we
ean hardly conceive of any set of ^
men making a greater or more
utter failure of an undertaking .
than our own good Democratic j
srethren have made of building
,he state eapitol.

Is a noted place for the
cure of blood diaeases,
but it costs money and
lots of it to take a course
of treatment there. It
also takes time Very
few people can spare the
time and money for such
a course of treatment.
If you havn’t the time
and money to go to Hot

that you take Nyal’s Hot

its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.

RIGGER BREWER ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH ROBBERY
“Trigger” Brewer of Newark, a
rell known crook, was arrested
"riday night at the Iron Mountain
epoton a grave charge of robbery.
)n several other occasions he has
tolen watches and some other small
rticles in Newport, for which he
muld be lined, but this last shot
eems to have gotten him as he will
e handed over to the County and
nil no doubt be sent to the pen
.entiary. Officers McCuistion and
larber made the arrest.
The charge against Brewer is the
urloining of a wallet from a
raveling man, who had just bought
ticket and was waiting for the
rain. The wallet contained $40
esides the ticket and a book of
f credentials, but the property
ras all recovered as the thief was
night before he could make his
et away.
After being put in the lock up
irewer fell off a bunk and nearly
roke his back. Two doctors were
immoned and it is thought the
xident will not prove serious.—

CORN COBS AND POTATOES
A new idea in potato-growing
as been suggested by an ex pe ri
lent made by Rev. das. F. Jerni
an and the tine yield of tubers
roduced on a few rows of pota
>es grown by him this spring,
[e planted four rows about 25
ards long, from which he harvest*
d ten bushels of potatoes, besides
hat were eaten by the family be*
:>re digging time.
When planting the potatoes he
ropped two corn cobs beside
ach hill of potatoes, and when the
otatoes were dug he found the
obs only partly decayed and so
nil of moisture that it was very
vident they had been a beneficial
gency in supplying moisture for
he growing plants.
The Journal believes this idea
f put to a practical test will prove
very beneficial one to potato
[rowers, especially during a dry
eason, for nothing holds moisture
ike an old corn cob. Save your
obs and experiment a little.

BROWN SCRAPS
A friend of mine
Called me to note
A four line verse
Which Pope once wrote.
And so that .you
May know the verse
I will the same
To you rehearse:
“In virtues self
May too much zeal be had,
The worst of madness
Is a Saint run mad”
When I read this verse
My memory did recall
What the Ruler Festus
One time said to Paul | Acts 26:24]
Paul was very zealous,
Though Paul was not insane;
He had a manly boldness,
But no disordered brain.
Doubtless my friend
Put this before my face
Thinking these line
Descriptive of my case.
Because I had displayed
On the Polemic field
What he perhaps had judged
An over heated zeal.
His judgement may be true,
Our self we cannot see;
1 look and and judge of you,
You look and judge of me.
So each one has his thought
Of what is right or wrong
And so by conscience taught
We are made weak or strong
And so I had my thoughts.
And did express my views
On gambling laws in Arkansas
And joints for selling booze.
I do not wish walk or talk
So people cannot tell
Whether I delight in what is right
Or half way work for hell.
We should not wear
The name of Saint
In any place or time
And then make choice
To lift our voice
Or cast our vote for crime.
The sword of steel
Unbacked by zeal
Will never gain the fight;
Zeal is the power
In conflicts’ hour—
The force that gains the right.
God giant us zeal
That we may feel
To fight against the bad;
I know we should
Strive for the good
Though some should count us mad.

Nervous
Prostration
“I suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended Dr. Miles’
Nervine, and although skeptical
at first, I soon found myself re
covering, and am to-dav well.”
MRS. D. I. JONES,
5800 P.roadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
- make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It i
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take Dr. Miles’ Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle front
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
