If Clark don’t beat Jones, he
will have the consolation that he
caused the national chairman tc
put in some of the hardest worts
at fence repairing that he lias
done during the past eighteen
years.
^ While attending the Baptist
State Convention last week Gov.
Jeff guarded, his language as well
as any of the other good brothers
and me thinks me hear him lead
ing the choir in “Wash Me and I
Shall be Whiter Than the Snow”
and some brother says, “Amen.”
—Augusta Vidette.
We have known the Governor
personally some 15 or 20 years
aud we have always found him
the same man whether in church
or court. He may have led the
choir at that Convention, for it is
his nature to lead wherever he
may be. If the Vidette will look
back a few weeks, she will see
where he literally did do some
washing at the penitentiary and
the Asylum also. Our Governor
believes in eradicating knavery
from our politics and telling the
people the truth as he sees it and
and if we will notice him careful
ly and study the circumstances,
we shall find he always hits the
nail on the head. Gov. Davis is
making us a model Governor and
deserves the respect of all the
good citizens of the state.
THE SENATOR HAS
“adjusted” the claim.
Malvern, Ark., Nov. 16, 1901.
Hon. Jas. K. Jones,
Hope, Arkansas.
Dear Jim: I regret very
much the attitude that Governor
Davis has taken in the campaign
between you and Clarke, and ex
ceedingly Iris manner of attack
on you. I think he has injured
himself and dishonored the state
by having done so. His interfer
ence in the canvas was entirely
uncalled for. His methods in
his attacks on j’ou are far be
neath what the people of Arkan
sas would expect from one they
so honored by electing to the
high and honored position he
now holds. I think he should
not have meddled in the matter
anyway. It seems that he can
find nothing in your pnblic life
to assail you for, but goes back
to some individual transactions
of years ago that should not be
brought up at all, and is endeav
oring to prejudice the people
against you in that way. ’Tis
too small, low and mean, and
especially so since it was our
matter (mine, my wife and
yours) and has long since been
adjusted to the satisfaction of all
concerned. I can but condemn
Governor Davis’ conduct in the
strongest terms, and in your jus
tification will state that all mat
ters between you and me and my
! wife as to guardianship and es
' tate, have long since been settled
to our entire satisfaction, and
we are strong friends to you in
your present campaign and trust
that you will be elected by an
overwhelming majority. Come
by when you can, will be glad to
see you or any of your folks.
All well. Love to all.
Your very truly,
(Signed) S. W. Smith,
I me above is a letter vmtten
| by Capt. S. W. Smith of Malvern
who comes to the rescue of sena
| tor Jones in the matter of his
bankruptcy record for the pur
pose of showing that if Senator
in fact did bankrupt on an or
pban girl for whom he was
guardian an heir of the Eaton es
tate thathe had paid the same, if
this be true then the Senator has
scored a point in his favor. The
letter seems to have been very
artisticly prepared. 11 appeared
in the Litter Rock Democrat of
Wednesday the 20th inst. f^et us
dissect it for a moment and see if
Senator Jones has in fact paid
this claim. On the contrary he
says, after abusing Governor
Davis for injecting this into the
campaign, that the Senator has
long since adjusted this matter
to the satisfaction of all concerned
We call the ready attention to the
fact that the claim may be adjus
ted covers a multitude of sins
and has many meanings. Paidhas
but one meaning. If the Senator
has in fact paid this claim Mr.
Smith would have said so. As we
undersand it the wife of Cap,
Smith was a very young Girl
when Senator Johnes was her
guardian. He had in his posses
sion this money—$3,500—that be
longed to her. He used it for his
own benefit. He later took the
bankrupt law on this claim. Capt
Smith does not say that the claim
has been paid, but that it has
been adjusted. The affidavit of W.
H. Cooper, a resident of Malvern
an old confederate soldier whose
record as a soldier cannot be dis
puted, may shed some light on
this subject. Below we append
the affidavit of Mr. Cooper for
the perusal of those interested:
State of Arkansas )
County of Hot Springs. f
W. H. Cooper, being duly
sworn states: I am fifty-eight
years of age, a merchant by oc
pation and a resident of Malvern,
Hot Springs County and State of
Arkansas. I have been personal
ly acquainted with Senator J. K.
Jones and Major S. W. Smith for
more than forty years last past.
In the latter part of last August
I had a conversation with Major
S. W. Smith, in front of his store
in Malvern, when I asked the
Major if Senator Jones had ever
paid either to his wife (formerly
Sallie Eaton) or himself the $3,
500 he (Jones) had bankrupted
on her for. He (Smith) replied
that Jones had never bankrupt
ed. I replied:
“If Jones did bankrupt did he
ever pay her or you?” He repli
ed: “No, he never payed any
thing on that.”
W. II. Cooper.
Subscribed and sworn to before
me this 23rd day of November,:

1901. N. P. Richmond,
(seal) Notary Public.
My Commission expires April
17th, 1902.
We read the speech of Gov
ernor Davis in which the bank*
; ruptcy matter was mentioned
and at no place did he charge
that this claim of Miss Eaton
(now Mrs. Tmith) had not been
paid. He simply said that the
Tenator took the bankruptcy law
on his ward, after taking her
money. But it seems that the
Tenator has “put his foot in it”
and that he has not in fact “paid ”
this claim, but in the language of
Capt. Tmith, he has “adjusted”
it.—Russellville Courier-Demo
