The Pocahontas Star-Herald
says that Hon. Clay Sloan, of
“"Lawrence county, who has been
favorably mentioned as a probable
candidate for Congress will not
enter the race.
The state convention of the
Farmers Union is being held at
Conway this week with an unusu
ally large attendance of delegates, 1
and reports from there indicate^
that the farmers are having a very
pleasant and profitable meeting.
The spectacle of Georgia pass
ing one of the most rigorous pro
hibition laws in the whole country,
Maine and Kansas not excepted,
is one that should encourage the
temperance people, and demon
strate that the age of miracles has
«iotyet passed.—Arkansas Demo
crat.
“The very biggest mistake that
married persons make,” philoso
phizes the editor of the Ladies’
World, “is to think that their
friends will help them in their
troubles with each other. The man
or woman who goes away from
liome for sympathy finds sorrow
and brings back regret. ”
The fruit growers of Benton and |
Washining counties are strictly in !
the swim this year. They have a I
bumper apple crop,and the fruit is
selling at $3 to $4 a barrel. One j
man near Rogers recently sold his'
apple and peach crop from a fif-1
teen acre orchard for $12,000 which j
«3 a little more than $1315 an acre. 1
The peach crop is fine also, and
the canning factories are paying
a bushel for peaches. Suppose
the country northwest of Newark
was dotted with fine peach or
chards and there was a big canning
factory here to can the fruit and
put it on the market. There is
«o reason why it should not be so;
*nd it would be a wonderful help
to the community, financially.
In the federal court at Chicago
last Saturday, the Standard Oil
Company was lined $29,240,000,
the maximum amount on each of
the 1,462 counts of the indict
ment on which the company was
recently convicted of rebating un
der the Elkins law. A few tines
like this will doubtless cause the
Standard to sit up and take notice.
The governor of Alabama has
just signed the bill, recently pass
ed by the legislature of that state,
requiring all saloons in towns of
less than 10,000 to close at 7
o’clock p. m. Georgia has .just
passed a law prohibiting the manu
facture or sale of liquor in that
state; Tennessee is practically a
dry state, and Arkansas, Texas
and other Southern states are fall
ing into line. Verily, Old John
Barleycorn is getting it in the
neck good and hard.
As a result of the illness of
Gov. Jno. S. Little, Arkansas is
paying the regular governor’s
salary to two men. The last legis
lature passed a bill allowing Gov.
Little his salary during his illness,
but made no appropriation for the
salary of the lieutenant-governor.
Paul Little, private secretary of
the governor, has been drawing
his father’s salary every month
and forwarding it to his mother at
Greenwood. Acting Gov. Pindall
has been drawing his salary as
governor from the contingent
fund, but reports from the state
capital say that this fund is about
exhausted. The Journal believes
in liberality, but we see no neces
sity for the state paying double
salary for the poor service she is
getting. _
N AT I ON AL PRO III HI TION
“Every State in the Union will,
at a comparatively early date, be
free from the legalized liquor
traffic,” is a statement recently
made by Chas. B. .Jones, of Chi
cago, chairman of the National
Prohibition Committee. Mr. Jones
bases his optimistic prediction on
the action of Georgia in enrolling
itself among the “dry” States.
“Winning of the battle for pro
hibition in Georgia is the opening
upm of the final assault on the
liquor traffic in all America,” said
Mr. Jones. “It is the direct re
sult of the persistent and intelli
gent educational cam p a i g n
throughout the nation.”
The first effect of the Georgia
victory, Mr. Jones thinks, will be
felt in the other Southern States
and the liquor question will be the
main political issue before the peo
ple at an early date.

ONLY RELIGION
The following expression of
Justice Brewer, of the United
States supreme court on the sub
ject of religion will be found to be
good reading: 1
‘T don’t care anything about |
creeds: I haven’t time to quibble
over theological questions. If 1
had the leisure I fancy I should
find theology to be good intellec
tual exercise. I could be comfort
able in a Baptist, Presbyterian,
Methodist or Catholic church and <
even in a Jewish synagogue. I
was reared a Congregationalist, but
if ray father had been an Episco*
panan, 1 suppose 1 snouia nave
been one. I believe in the creed
of Jesus Christ, the parable of the
good ..Samaritan and the Golden
Rule. No more is neccessary on
this earth. I fully accept the
teachings of Christ’s life, although
I am afraid 1 don’t always live to
them. But life is the most impor
tant human question—to be kindly
and helpful. There is no theology .
in binding up' a man’s wounds, !
comforting and assisting him/
when opportunity offers, and in*
doing good for the elevation of /
humanity. That is not theology; 1
it is religion.”
Mrs. R. F, Patterson of Marion
county raised fifteen bushels of
onions on an eighth of an acre of
gound, and sold them readily for
$1 a bushel.
