The legislature adjourned at
noon yesterday.
The annual school election takes
place on the third Saturday in
May, which is the 16th, two weeks
from tomorrow.
The weather this spring has been
very unfavorable for the farmers,
but we should remember that any
kind of weather is better than
none.
This is a progressive age and
the town that does not work for
business and encourage develop
ment in every possible way is a
town that takes i»oor care of its
opportunities.
Dr. Myers says The Journal’s
ideas on the pearling question are
wrong and that the industry needs
protection. Perhaps it does; we
don’t pose as an expert on this
question and will admit, for the
sake of being agreeable, that the
doctor is right. Put we always
would ask fool question, and now
will the doctor please explain why
he voted in favor of the bill intro
duced in the house last Saturday
to repeal his own bill that became
a law?
«~~The law creating the Newark
special school district w ill be pub
lished in The Journal next week.
Under this law' six directors are
required and as they will be vested
with the authority to Ixirrow mon
ey and erect a school building not
to exceed a cost of $4,000 we hojie
the people will unite on six good
men for directors. It is only a
matter of a very short time until
the district will have to erect a
new building of some kind, and
now while the district is vested
with the authority to do so, we
hope that a modern and up-to-date
brick building will be erected.
This law does not say the district
shall erect a building, but only
makes provisions for it to do so,
and the erection of the building
will therefore rest solely in the
hands of the men whom the peo
ple may elect as directors. This is
a matter of great importance to
Newark and we hope the jieople
will thoroughly discuss the matter
and lie sure they choose progres
sive men who favor a good school
building. __________
We admit that there has been
a good deal of abuse heaped upon
the present legislature, a part of
which was perhaps undeserved.
But taken as a whole the legisla
ture has not been abused half as

much a« it has abused the common
interests of the people. Bight at
the present time we have not the
data at hand to ascertain just what
this session of the legislature has
cost the tax-payers, but we expect
to make an effort to ascertain its
exact cost and will publish the re
port if we are successful. If there
has been three bills passed that
will result in general good to the
people of the state we fail to re
member them. Besides, it comes
in poor grace for a gentleman to
protest against abuse of the logix
lature after having introduced and
fought for the passage of a bill to
squander $18,000 or $20,000 of the
public funds for newspapers and
stamps. Don’t you think sof
For Those Who Live on Farms.
Dr- Bergin, l’ana, 111., writes “1
have used Ballard's Snow Lini
ment; always recommend it to my ,
friends, as I am confident there is ,
no better made. It is a dandy for
burns.” Those who live on farms
are especially liable to many acci
dental cuts, burns and bruises
which heal rapidly when Ballard’s
Snow Liniment is applied. It
should always be kept in the house
for cases of emergency. 25c, 50c

To Clet Rich Quick.
Some of the Missouri papers are
giving their subscribers a tip on
the way to become rich quickly
anti easily by simply depositing
one cent in the bank on the tirst 1
day of the month and doubling the
amount each day thereafter for a 1
month. Anyone ought to be able
to do that and at the end of the 1
month you will have deposited the
sum of $10,7i?7,418.28.
A Sure Thing
It is said that nothing is sure except
death ami taxes but that is not al

covery for consumption is a sure

Dr. Miles’He&rt Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
There is nothing more necessary to health
than sleep and rest. II these are denied you,
if you rise in the returning more tired than
when you went to bed, there is an affection of
the nerves plainly present. If your heart is
weak, or there is an inherited tendency in
that direction, your weakened nerses will
soon so affect your heart's action as to bring
sn serious, chronic trouble. Dr. Miles' Ner
*ine is a nerve tonic, which quiet* the nerves,
so that sleep may come, and it quickly re
stores the weakened nerves to haalth and
strength. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure is a great
iluod and heart tonic which regulates the ac
ion of the heart, enriches the blood and us
sroves the circulation.

DR. MYERS’ VIEWS
-hainpion of Mussel Legislation
Gives HisSideof theMuch
Talked-of Question.
Editor Newark Journal.
As we take your paper I assume
hat it is only just that my side of
he shell and pearl matter be heard,
low easy it is to criticize others,
lut, to the facts.
The pearl button business is in
ts infancy and yet the supply of
hells is actually exhausted in the
\orth. The wisest men of that
ection, foreseeing the rapid de
duction of the beds, tried to get
ongress to protect them, but there
ras the same ignorance to contend
pith there, and now over 100 fae
ories are shut down for want of
hells. They must either come to
Arkansas or ship their shells from
icre there. Unless protected, our
wonderful beds will be exhausted
n less than six years. Black riv
r is practically exhausted now.
What will Newark do with a
•utton factory with no shells? Can
Jr. Magness afford to put in a
•hint at a cost of $3,000 or $-1,000
o run a couple of years?
If properly protected the spawn
ng beds would indefinitely supply
he demand. \\ hen destroyed
aany years will be required to re
iroduce them. I want to make
ly position plain, viz: You can’t
irotect the pearl hunter and the
hell hunter at the same time, as
he mueket spawns in April and
day, which were closed in my
irst bill, to allow the famous
>earl-bearer protection. The nig
jcr-neau, uie great uuiton sneu,
pawns earlier, and some of them
t all seasons, and as the building
f button factories was considered
f more importance than the pearls,
nd a greater revenue would be
lerived from them by all classes,
re thought it best to give them
he preference. The first bill was
nule too drastic by the senate,
'lie amendment bill modified the
rst by allowing the crow-foot and
redge in all waters over seven feet
eep and would have worked no
ardship on any one.
The slurs weekly heaped upon
lie legislature are puerile, very
oolish and smell of sour grapes.
By corresponding with the
rnithsonian Institution or the IT.
i. Fish and Fisheries Commission
ou will get an abundance of wis
om to show that the mussel and
hell industry without protection
ill soon be gone. That is a mat
sr of vital interest to our state.
Text to the agricultural and tim
er interests, it is the greatest
jurce of revenue in Arkansas,
et you say nothing should be
one: let the people destroy it if
ley wish. Do you know that in
reducing finished buttons one ton
f shells make $110.00 paid to la
or, while we only get $10 to $12
>r the raw material. If the fac
>ries were here we would get
110 instead of $12.
Do you know that the consumer
ays $000 for the buttons that one
>n of shells makes { Yet only $12
left for our part when shipped
) the Northern plants to l>e work
1 up. IIow much better would it
b for us if the men who talk and j
rite letters would only learn I
lough to think of the ridiculous
ditude they place themselves in.
he idea of a grown man so stupi
*d as to say that “the second is
x>ut the same as no bill at all,”
>he favored it. And another says
at we laid to “put in time to
draw our $6 a day" etc. How
could any one be so densly ignor
ant? ,
Have you ever considered that
in Lawrence, Jackson, Randolph
and Independence counties more
than $i0 to every man, woman and
child has been paid for pearls and
shells? This is more than the per
capita of U. S. circulating curren
cy, and this in only four counties.
This is a wonderful industry to be
destroyed in two years, and yet
it is said there should be no laws
j to protect it. There was not a
! more important matter before the
general assembly.
What I write is with the best of
i feeling, and I hope the whole peo
pie will wake upon this vast source
I of wealth before it is too late.
Your friend,
J. H. Myeks.

FOR MALARIA.

An epidemic of Malaria is sure to fol
low the wet season and the high waters
which have prevailed all over the
South. Malarial and kindred fevere
will develope to an alarming extent.
General health conditions will be bad;
every precaution should be taken.
The System Must Espas'slty Ear- I
tiflstf to Resist Malarial Attaebs.
A trial of fifty years has demonstrate (
ed that for this emergency, Dr. Har
ter’s Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron is
the fighting element in the blood, and
the kind of iron supplied by I)r. Har
ter’s Iron Tonic is just the kind the
system requires to successfully combat
malarial conditions. Don’t wait until
you are attacked. Take it now and for
tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard *
and, at the same time, it is the best "
tonic and invigornnt for the entire sys- ,
tem. On the other hand, quinine dis
turbs the system and its cumulative
poison begets greater physical troubles
than those it is employed to remedy.
