An Indiana man died after eatinjar
seven pies. So if your wife don't feed
you all the pie you want, just remem
ber that too much pie is not healthful.
The man with a mortgage on his
crop is Slot in a position to hold cotton
or any other product. Once on a cash
basis the farmer may do as he pleases
with what he produces.
A great many people who are fairly
well started on the road to success are
not satisfied. They fume, fret and
grumble liecause its not a pike and
they are not iti a sixty-horse power
automobile.
One of the most sensible utterances
on the relation of the races we have
ever known of coming from a negro is
the following from I'.. \V. Wood, a
Tattle Rock negro, who i> editor of a
negro magazine: ‘‘Why shouldn't
the black man honor the white man?
Didn't the white man make him what
lie is? Didn't the white man let into
his benighted soul the first ray of en
lightement, education and civilization?
Isn't he still the negro's great teacher
and benefactor? The black man is.
therefore, the white man's pupil. Then,
is it not perfectly natural and proper
for a grateful scholar to respect,
honor and even reverance is instruc
tor? Why, my friend, deprive the
black man of products of the wht*
man's mind and hand and leave him
most ignorant, supersitious and nude?
The white man is to the negro, what
the sun is to the earth Mis light.
An entirely new feature seems to
have come to the front in the fight on
booze drinking out in Oregon. Instead
of making’ the* saloon-keeper pay all
tin* license, the drinker is compelled to
take out a license, which he must have
renewed every six months. Saloon
men are compelled by law to confine
their sales exclusively to persons hold
ing license to buy, under penalty of a
heavy line, for selling to unauthorized
persons and a feature of the law is
that every six months a complete -list
of the licensed drinkers is published.
A majority of twenty-six in the
house and four in the senate of the
next Arkansas legislature for a state
wide prohibition measure, is claimed
by the prohibition forces for Arkan
sas, who claimtthey have enough votes
pledged to put a state-wide prohibition
bill through. The claim is made by
Rev. G. W. Kichelbarger, of LiUle
Rock, who has been campaigning The
state for prohibition for the past eight
months. Whether these pledges will
he kept is another question, but that
is the status of the situation at the
present time, declares Mr. Kichelbar
ger. _
Marriage is said to he conducive to
longevity „ yet a recent news dispatch
gives an account of a maiden lady in
New York who is chipper, sprightly
and able to write legible and interest
ing letters at the ripe age of 101 years.
For exactly a century and a hundredth
fraction thereof has this remarkable
person dwelt in single blessedness,
and in a letter to an admiring corres
pondent she gives as a reason for long
long life, jteace and general happiness,
the fact that she was never married.
Her nine brothers and sisters, she says,
all married, and all died long ago.
She, with only herself to look after,
still lives. This is certainly expert
testimony in favor of celibacy from a
strictly hygienic standpoint. But we
do not believe it will lessen the mar
riage rate. Most young people would
not lie deterred from matrimony even
if they knew that a single life would
carry them forward, alone and love
less. to the twenty-first century's dawn,
and in spite of this wonderful old
maid's belief to the contrary, there is
no doubt that the majority of married
people are happier, healthier and very
much better off in all res]wets than the
majority of unmarried people.

YOUNG CRIMINAL CAPTURED
Boy Wanted in Texas and Suspected of
Stealing a Horse Here is Arrested
Robert Trammel who is charged with
having stolen a horse from Eller Bros,
several days ago, was captured Wed
nesday evening while at work over in
the bottom.
The horse was captured near Mam
moth Spring, where Trammel is sup
posed to have taken it and disposed
of it. Nothing definite is known in
regard to this, however, as Trammel
denies knowing anything about the
horse, and but little information has
l*een received from there beyond the
fact that the horse had been recovered.
He was taken to Batesville yesterday
morning by Constable S. W. Clark
and placed in jail.
Trammel is only nineteen years old,
hut has considerable reputation as a
law-breaker. He is wanted at Sher
man, Tex., where he has given the
officers more or less trouble. He is
under a penitentiary sentence in Texas,
having escaped after serving only live
months of a two year sentence, and a
reward of $r>0 had been offered by
Texas officials for his capture.
WANT PROHIBITION PLANK
Gen. Jas. B. Weaver Will Lead Fight
For Prohi Plank at Denver
It develops that the tight over the
anti-injunction plank in the National
Democratic platform is not the only
struggle in which the committee on
resolutions, and possibly the-*conven
tion itself, may he involved,
According to news reports from
Denver, it has developed that the pro
hibition question is tp he brought to
the front when the convention meets
there next week, and that a desperate
tiyriit will be made to have a plank
declaring1 it its favor placed in the
platform. The prohibition movement
will be headed by Gen. James B.
Weaver of Iowa, who demanded of
the recent democratic convention in
that state that it declare in favor of
prohibition. (Ten. Weaver and his
followers were*not successful in their
efforts in their own state, but, nothing
daunted by their failure, have made
arrangement to bring the matter up
before the democratic national conven
tion. They claim, morever, to have
strong backing from a number of the
southern delegations which recently
passed prohibition laws, and it is de
clared confidently by Gen. Weaver's
adherents that if the democratic nu
tional platform does not contain a pro
hibition plank it will only be for the
reason that the hardest kind of light
ing has been unable to secure Its adop
tion.
WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH
Jonesboro, June 29. — Mrs. Stephens,
mother of A1 Stephens, a former busi
ness man of this city, aged 77 years
and totally blind, was burned to death
at the Stephens home, two miles north
of Jonesboro, about 4 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. The Stephens home was
burned to the ground, in the absence
of everyone but Mrs. Stephens, whose
clothing caught lire, it is believed,
while she was attempting to save a
trunk containing valuable papers from
tht> fire. The chared body of the aged
woman was found at the gate in front
of the ruins of the former home.
BARNED BURNED
Wednesday a barn on It. W. Ram
heart's islam arm caught fire and
was totally destroyed, together with
all contents, except some mules they
managed to save. The men on the
place saw the Humes and got over to
the barn in time to gret the nutles out.
About l,o(N> bushels of corn, quite a
ly>t of farming implements and harness
was destroyed. It is not thought the
lire was of incendiary origin. Bates*

THE AWAKENING
A fetninene writer says: “There is
no sleep so delicious as that which
overwhelms u^ when we know we ought
to la1 getting up. ”
Quite right: and there's no awaken
ing so disagreeable as that which
comes when we are dreaming that we
have money in live or six hanks.
NO HOPE, ALAS
You maj love her at a distance:
You may worship her afar:
You may gaze upon her beauty,
As you would upon a star,
And get near enough to tease her.
But he satisfied with that
You can never hope to squeeze her,
In that Merry Widow hat.

FROM SOUTH ARKANSAS
Timber Industry Important Factor in
That Section of the State
Dear Editor: As 1 havn't written
anything for The Journal in several
months, will send you a few dots.
I am now in Cleveland county, in
what is known as the red land country.
This is more productive than the other
lands in this part of the state. I have
recently been over part of Bradley,
Columbia and Dallas counties. Crops
are late and not very good. I believe
the best crops I have seen in this sec
tion are in Columbia county.
This is a fine timbered county, and
there are very large mills here. They
have small railroads running out
through the timber to haul it to the
mills, some of which cut from 80,000
to 100,(HX) feet per day.
This country is all in the prohibi
tion district, except Bradley coun
ty, where there is one saloon, and
some blind tigers, so I am told.
Religiously, conditions here are
about as they are in our part of the
country, excpt they have here what
they call Sanctified Baptist churches.
Their leader was expelled from the
Missionary Baptist church some
years ago. and is now running a paper.
They teach sinless perfection and Di
vine healing, but I don’t think they
are making much headway. 1 am to
preach a series of services at Haskell
in the near future in a nest of the hoU
element.
This isvwhat might be called a level
country, but is not as good a farming
country as Independence, Jackson and
Lawrence counties. But the timber
industry is immense. Some new towns
are building up along the Rock Bland
road, and they have a county seat re
moval tight on in Dallas county.

Don’t give us that hum steer."
