MORE POLITICS BREWI\G
Although the primary election
is so recent that many of the un
successful candidates have not yetd
ceased to feel the sting- of defeat,
plans are already being formulat
y ed for the primaries two years
hence, and underground reports
from Little Rock indicate that it
will be one of the warmest cam
paigns the state has witnessed in
several years.
Several state officers are to be
elected, but the chief interest will
center in the gubernatorial and
senatorial races. There will prob
ably be three candidates for gov
ernor—Attorney General Hal L.
Norwood, Congressman Joe 1*.
Robinson and John II. IJinemon.
Governor Donaghey is being
urged to enter the race for United
States senator against Senator Jeff
Davis, and Kx-Congrcssraan Brun
didge of Searcy has already an
nounced his intention of entering
the contest for Davis’ seat.
Although Governor Donaghey
refuses to make any statement, it
is freely predicted by many that
he will yield to the pressure being
brought to bear on him and enter
the race for the senate.
The power of these men as cam
paigners is well known, and if
Davis and Donaghey enter the
contest, it is easy to see that this
will be one of the hardest fought
campaigns in the history of the
state. __
GROW MORE COR1S
The great American grain food
for men and stock upon the farm
is corn. Therefore the growing of
an abundant supply of corn is one
of the essentials of good farming.
The southern farmer should
grow enough corn for every pos
sible need on the farm. The rea
sons for this are plain. It has been
demonstrated thoroughly that with
preparation and cultivation he can
grow as much per acre as the far
mer in the best corn-growing sec-1
tious. At prevailing prices it is
cheaper to grow it than to buy it,
even with 1 and 15 cent cotton.
The best farming requires syste
matic rotation of crops on all lands.
Corn is a standard crop and is es
pecially valuable from the fact
that we not only jrot the eorn crop,
but can grow with it a heavy crop
of peas, which will give a liberal
supply of nitrogen ami humus,
two of the most valuable things in
building up soils.
Corn is a tropical plant, and all
other things being e<|ual it. should
thrive better in the southern than
in the Northern States.
I
It is said that Governor Patter
son has pardoned 153 men convict
ed of taking human life since he
has been governor of Tennessee,
lie has issued a total of'.*65 par
dons, exclusive of commutations.
Shortly after pardoning Col. Coop
er, who was convicted of killing
Carmack, Gov. Patterson announc
ed his candidacy for a third term
as governor. He seems to be mak
ing a bid for the support of the
lawless element, and its -afe to
predict that they will all line up
for him. _
It is said that if the Democrats
dn not place a strong prohibition
plank in their next national plat
form, the national Prohibition
party will nominate \V. .1. Hymn
for President in It* 1*2. It is known
that Bryan strongly favors prohi
bition, anti it is thought that he
would accept the nomination and
make a strong light for the prin
ciples advocated by national Pro
hibition party.
The Journal knows of no reason
why the people around Newark
should not ship to the Northern
markets several hundred carloads
of strawberries, peaches and pota
toes every season. It has been
thorougly demonstrated that all
these can be profitably grown on
almost any of the upland around
here. ________
Halley’ Comet seems to be hav
ing a peculiar eil'ect on the old
hens up in Missouri. A hen be
longing to George Davidson of
Independence, Mo., recently laid
an egg with a tail an inch long.
By his hasty pardon of Col 1>.
B. Cooper, who so foully murder
ed Senator Cormack, Governor
Patterson of Tennessee has brand
ed himself as a rank anarchist.
Are you doing your part toward
making Newark attractive to
home-seekers?

SUMMER NORMAL WORK
Opportunity Kor Teachers to Bet
ter Prepare Themselves
To Teachers of Independence County:
It is my pleasure to inform you
that the tirst summer session of
the University of Arkansas will
be held during the coming sum
mer, beginning on June 1.'3 and
closing July 2d. The curriculum
will consist of courses of grammar
school, high school and college
grade, together with professional
courses. This is an unusual op
portunity for our teachers, many
of whom are unemployed in the
summer, to brush up on their work
and at a very small expense pre
pare thorn-elves to do better work
in the future.
The regular equipment of the
University will be placed at the
disposal of the students of the
summer session, and most of the
heads of departments will give in
struction in their specialties. Ar
rangements have been made to
provide rooms and board in the
University dormitories at very
low prices. No tuition fee will
be charged, each student paying
only the regular matriculation fee
of 1 <>. The total expenses of the
six weeks course need not be more
than *;5, not including railroad
fare, and you will enjoy the sum
mer away from home, which will
be of benefit to you.
I tie summer session also adonis
an opportunity for students in
tending; to enter college, but who
are deficient in some of their work,
to make up their deficiencies.
Credit towards entrance will be
given for all preparatory courses,
and college credits for college
courses.
Fayetteville, where the Fniver
'ity is located, is a recognized
summer resort. Every year num
bers of visitors go there from all
parts of the state and from other
states to escape the burdens of the
hot season and to enjoy the tine
climate of the mountains. The
students of the summer session
will have the two-fold advantage
of the instruction a Horded by a
lirst-cla-s University and also the
pleasure of a summer vacation
spent amid delightful surround
ings. Ci i. L. Pkaiu k,

GRAND JURY'S REPORT
I _
Inquisitorial Body Adjourns After
Returning 26 Indictments
The grand jury, which had been
| in session at liatesvillc for two
weeks, adjourned Saturday, after
having examined it7 witnesses and
returned 2*1 indictments. The fol
lowing report was submitted to
the court.
To the Honorable Charles Collin, 1
Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit:
We, your grand jury for the April
term, 11*10, of this court, having fin
ished our work, beg leave to submit
the following report of our acts and
doings as a body.
We have been in session now about!
two weeks, and during that time have I
examined !)” witnesses, from whom we
obtained evidence upon which we!
based 2fi indictments, which we have;
turned into court. In all cases we j
made it our duty to feel assured of}
the fact that an indictment could be |
sustained before we turned it into!
court.
We have examined the reports of!
the officers, which have been filed with
jus, including the commissioners of|
accounts, and we have no criticism to i
offer in regard to the same. Thev I
seem to be correct.
We visited the county poor farm by
committee, made a careful examination
of the same, and can report to this ;
court that we find it in good sanitary
condition: we had no complaint from
the inmates, hut they reported to us as
being well cared for,well fed and cloth
ed. We lind the roof of the keeper*'
house in very bad condition and we
would suggest that a new roof be put
on that building.or else that it be giv
en a thorough repairing and overhaul
ing. We also lind that the fence on
the north side of the farm needs re
pairing. and we would likewise make
a suggestion to the county court to
have it repaired.
W e visited the county jail in a body .
We find it in a good sanitary condi
tion. The prisoners report to us that
they are well fed and cared for. We
examined the building carefully and
we recommend that the outside walls
of the front rooms should be steel
lined on the inside.
We visited the county court house,
I and lind it in a reasonably good con
I dition, save and except the plastering
I overhead is broken and needs repair
i ing. We reeemmend that it be repair
ed at as early a date as is possible to
do so. and that, when it is repaired,
eeiling be put in instead of plastering.
We have examined to see if the can
I didates have filed reports of their cam
paign expenses and we find they have
| all done so except Frank Ham and J.
j W. Flinn. We have taken net steps in
| regard to their failure to do so,because
each of the gentlemen have such high
| standing as to honesty and integrity
i that we feel an oversight has been
j committed, rather than a wrong done.
We have carefully examined the of
| (icial conduct of the various county of
I licers. especially the county judge, u
; cause we deemed it important that an
investigation be had, and we find no:
cause for criticism We are fulls per
suaded to the belief that each and all
of the county officers are endeavoring ■
| to do their duty, and what they con
ceive to he to the l>est interests of the I
counts and people. We feel that tin; i
county judge is to be congratulated 1
upon the general improvements he has
made about and upon the county farm!
bs w a s of clearing the lands and ditch
ing, us well as other substantial iin- |
provements, which has been done l>y |
the county convicts, and at a very j
nominal expense to the county.
We recommend that the county court
supply the sheriff at the jail with tele- ]
phone and electric lights, and furnish j
his otlice at the court house with elec
tric lights, and that the bills for the
same be allowed and paid by the coun
ty court. We believe a telephone in
the county jail is a necessity, and that
it is to the advantage of the people of I
the county in a very material way to
have one placed there.
We desire to thank all the officers
of the court for their courtesies ex
tended us, and desire especially to \
thank the bailiff of the grand jury.
We extend our thanks to the special
prosecutipg attorney, (1. L. Grant, for
the assistance he has been to us. and
his aid to the body.
We also desire to extend our thanks
to the court for the generous and
courteous treatment extended us at his
hands. He has materially aided us in
his liberal charge and detailed expla
nation of the criminal laws.
! We have finished our business and
j now beg the court to recei ve this re
j port and finally discharge us from
I further duties. Respectfully submit
ted. Wm. Ramsey, Foreman.
<;. M. Thompson, clerk.
