The News takes pleasure in
indorsing Gov. Jeff Davis for the
democratic nomination or presi

•MEN know how to take de
feat-and if they were right with
the people, the next election wrill
vindicate their position. We are
sorry to say that all animals that
wear pants are not men by great
odds. Prom present indications,
we are lead to believe that some
such animals inhabit pants in
Woodr u ff conn ty.
OUR POLITICS
We read the papers and see
1 the record in Secretarv of State’s
'
1 office tampered with. The figures
■were erased and others placed in
their stead. Next, we hear thatj
| mistakes were made to defeat
| Hon. Eugene Parrish for Con
| gross. Instead of Hon. Bruce
: Macon carrying Woodruff county,
j it now turns out that Parrish car
ried our county by 178 majority.
It is absolutely uncertain who is
elected and who is defeated. One
thing -we know and that is a man
who is dishonest in politics is a
| dishonest man, and a dishonest
man should not be trusted any
where. Democracy and dishon
esty are as different as the song
of an African crocodile compared
to the sweet symphonies of Bee
thoven. A dishonest man can’t
be a democrat. We are astound- j
ed at the status of affairs in our
county; it is alarming. Yet, we .
are told that the politics are as
clean as the driven snow. God
pity the narrow minded or those
that have no const i mce.
The News man wishes 1o say
right here that we are Democrats
to the core and denounce such
work as undemocratic; that an
-honest democrat would not have
had anything to do with such a
thing; that no such animals as
dishonest democrats ever exist
ed. Some may call themselves
sucri, but the cloak of democracy
will never shield their rotten
hearts. Now is the time for every
loyal democrat to start a crusade
that will have for its end legaliz
ed primaries.: the selection of
judges and clerks who are known
as democrats and notfis dishon
est, unscrupulous, consumptive :
hypocrits:
At the same time, we desire to
notify the good people of Wood- 1
We are not at all disfigured but
stISI in the Ring, Not a political
ring, but the ring of cur anvils.

1 ruff county to beware of falsi
! prophets; wolves in sheep cloth
! ing. For they sing the song o:
! Bull frogs with success. Beware
i they call themselves independeni
| candidates, but they are utterlj
| dependent upon your votes
| Democrats, stand by your colors
! and your party. If you remem
! ber Appomattox, stand up for the
! legacies you inherited; if you are
| tired of some people’s actions,
work for the elimination of the
wrong at the next primary, but
stand by your nominees. If we
do our duty as we should, we will
have a legalized primary next
l time. We will have judges that
will not allow anything and every
thing to vote. But in the mean
time, be men! Be democrats! Our
nominees are all capable men;
men that will be a credit to our
county. They should not be made
to suffer because some squint
eyed dwarfs of perdition have
done things they should not have
done. We, that are democrats,
must labor for our country. The
poet has said—“He who loves his
country, loves all things; And all
things loving, bless him. He who
lets his country die, lets all things
die; And all things dying, curse
him.” Stand by democracy and
vindicate her principles. The
state-craft of democracy is sub
lime and beautiful. Study it, live
it. There is health and wisdom
in its enchanted halls. Stand by
your nominees. • >' . .

i; BETTER THAN PILLS.
‘ | The question has been asked,
f i “In what way are Chamberlain’s
, | Stomach & Liver Tablets super
. ior to pills?” Our answer is:
' They are easier and more jjleas
r I ant to take, more mild and gentle
■ in effect and more reliable as
i they can always be depended
upon. Then they cleanse and
, invigorate the stomach and leave
the bowels in a natural condition,
while pills are more harsh in ef
fecffand their use is often follow
■ ed by constipation. For sale by

reaching: Hot Springs, it turns
toward the setting sun into the
Ozarks. Arriving at Hot Springs,
we at once became members of a
busy throng. Hot Springs is un
doubtedly the liveliest place on
earth to its size. Miss Nancy was
dumfounded. She saw those
things -which she found out inter I
were street-cars and to her utter |
astonishment, they ran along
1
without any visible motive power !
at all. Miss Nancy also had the !
pleasure of going to the top of
the Arlington Hotel in a contrap
tion they call elevator. Now, Miss •
Nancy had always been used to
going up the stairway, but being
out to learn something, she decid
ed to try the elevator. The ele- j
vator boy knew from the green
appearance of Miss Nancy, that
she had never before been in an
elevator, so he made that elevator
elevate with an elevating speed
that was elevating Miss Naficy
to an elevation with alarming ra
pidity. Miss Nancy actually
thought her time had come and
she called out,'‘I’m not ready to
make my ascension yet!” “Oh!
Sit still or you ’ll break your neck. ”
said the elevator boy. Now Miss
Nancy was actually so bewilder
ed, she sat down and in place of a
bench or a chair to catch her fal
, ling frame, she hit the floor pile
driver fashion. Many other
: strange experiences did Miss
l Nancy encounter while at the
1 city of vapors. Upon being asked
where she enjoyed herself mostly,
she responded, “In Happy Hollow
where the genial McLeod takes
ones iooking-gl^ss. He is the jol
liest man we ever saw. What do
you think, lie took my picture
wdth a pair of bellows in my
hands. Oh! But he is just simply
grand. If you ever go to Hot
; Springs, don’t stop till yot see
|him.” Miss Nancy said this j
i was the trip of her life and she
j never expects to see so' many i
j strange things again if she lives |
a thousand years.

Gov.Davis and the
deaf Children.
Governor Davis and the board
! of state charities attended a din
ner given by Superintendent
i Yates Tuesday evening. The fol
I lowing is the character of our
| Governor.
Before going in to dinner the
guests stopped to see the children
gather for their evening meal.
Suddenly and involuntarily Gov.
Davis walked over and seated
himself with the children; nor
could any one induce him to the
dinner prepared for him. There
was not a child in that great
dining room whose face did not
instantly become radiant with
unexpected happiness; not a
small heart that did not quicken
with joyful excitement at the
thought of entertaining as their
own gue'st, the governor of Ark
ansas.
This act of Governor Davis was
a simple thing, quietly and unos
tentatiously done—the prompt
ing of a great and generous heart
the desire to make himself one
with the "least of these”, but
s acli acieed, fs r removed from the
smoke and din of politics, prompt
ed by no party reasons, go to
prove the real character of the
man recently elected by a wise
people to be govt r ior of Arkansas.
To be the first man in the state
is a great thing, but to reign in
the heart of a child is a far greater
kingdom; and though enemies
may revile and opposing elements
misrepresent Jeif Davis, yet
he may be sure—in the hearts of
the little deaf children of Arkan
sas he stands a monument of un
qualified excellence.—C. D.
BEAUTY AND STRENGTH
Are desirable. You are strong
and vigorous, when your blood
is pure. 'Many—nay, most—wo
men, fail to properly digest their
food and so become pale, sallow,
thin and weak, while the bright
ness, freshness and beauty of
the skin and complexion, depart.
Remedy this unpleasant evil, by
eating nourishing food, and tak
ing a small dose of Herbine after
each meal, to digest what you
have eaten. 50c at Dr. J. B. Neal’s.

GOOD FOB KHEUMATISM.
i
Last fall I was taken with a
very severe attack of muscular
rhematism which caused me
great pain and annoyance. After
trying several prescriptions and
rheumatic cures, 1 decided touse
I Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which
j I had seen advertised in the
i South Jerseyman. After two
applications of this Remedy I
| was much better, and after using
j one bottle, was completely cured.
