Are we ever going to drain that
pond out of town'
II. R Dallam now has charge
of tin* < 'alico Rocket.
Remember to vote for the a
mendments when you go to vote
on the 5th of September.
Presidential year is a bad time
to scratch the ticket. Our demo
cratic friends should remember
this and vote the ticket straight.
The action of Attorney General
Murphy in kicking over the traces
and declaring that he would sup
port Myers for governor, is the
very worst thing he could have
done. It will not lessen Governor
Davis’ majority three votes, and
will serve as campaign thunder
when Davis aspires for a nomina
tion as I'nited States senator.
T. T. Ward has sold the New
port Herald to K. 1*. Totwilor and
Clyde Wood. ‘Tilde Tom*’ has
been identified with the newspai>er
business in Jackson county for a
number of years, having formerly
published the Herald at Jackson
port, and his retirement will be
sincerely regretted by many.
Messrs. Tetwiler and Wood are
experienced newspaper men and
will doubtless make the Herald a
live, up-to-date paper.
The creating of Magness town
ship took a good portion of terri
tory from Hig Bottom and depriv
ed this township of one of its nom
inees for justice of the peace, as
Thos. Jones is in the new township.
Squire Tharp is our only nominee
for magistrate and the voters
should unite on some good man.
Dr. W. 1*. Lawton is a good man
for the place, and we have also
heard .J. 11. Davidson's name men
tioned in this connection. Both
of them are good men. hut wo are
unable to say whether either of
them would serve.
GOOD FOR ARKANSAS.
Arkansas Day at the World's
Fair has been changed from the
o|st to the 22nd of September.
This change was brought about by
the fact that Arkansas and Illinois
had arranged to hold joint ceremo
nies on the 21st, but the fact be
came known that Illinois was pre
paring to have a squad of negro
•state guardsmen take part in the
ceremonies on Illinois--Arkansas
Day. This brought about conster
nation in the ranks of the Arkan
sans. and forthwith it was voted
that Arkansas was great enough
to take care of its own ceremonies.
As Arkansas i- a white man's
country, she, therefore, withdrew
and lias arranged to hold her state
ceremonies on the 22nd of Sep
tember, when Arkansans can march
in n line composed strictly of citi
zens of the state, and with no ne
gro guardsmen in the ranks.
Illinois will have to take care of
its own black soldiers, and Arkan
sas will see that her big day at the
Fair is observed by white citizens,
and in large numbers at that.
Good for Arkansas!
ASH AM FI) OF THEIR PARTY
There are some republicans who|
deserve credit for being ashamed I
of their party.
Editor Phillips of the Hardy
Herald writes the Commercial Ap
ical that two republican spell
binders in that town on Aug. lf>
denied that at the Republican Con
vention in Chicago a little negro
boy and a little white girl we e
put upon the platform to lead in
the cheering and flag waving.
One of these speakers was none
I other than the Honorable Charles
K. Cole, of Batesville.
Let us congratulate the republi
can orators on their sensitiveness
on this subject. They have every
reason to be ashamed of their par
ty. The incident must be a bitter
pill for white republicans to swal
low, and it is no wonder that they
gag and make wry faces. Repub
licans who have been raised in the
South would, no doubt, like to
forget the incident were possible
to do so. They cannot be much
blamed for denying the incident.
No doubt they would give much
had the ugly thing never happen-1
ed.
I'nfortunately the facts and the I
records are against them, in the
report sent out by the Associated
Press of the convention proceed
ings on that day appears the fol
lowing as a part of the routine
proceedings:
The delegates, in their eager- j
ness to exhibit approval of the j
nomination, accepted every sig- j
nal for renewed cheering. A
little negro boy from Georgia i
and later a pretty little white
girl, dressed in a dainty frock
of white, were lifted to the plat
form and they waved flags with
as much vigor as their more
lusty preceptor.

At tilt* conclusion of every
seconding speech the perfor- j
mance was repeated and the
speakers themselves weve gen- |
erously applauded.
The Associated Press is a non
partisan news-gathering agency
that serves newspapers of every I
political hue and tint and its re-;
ports must lx> accurate. They)
dare not he colored. The associa- j
tion had a large corps of expert j
reporters in the convention hall j
and everything that took place was!
noted and sent out. The llonora-l
hie Charles F. Cole may have miss
u'd the. spectacle in the confusion
| of the moment or lie may have
covered his eyes with his hands. It
was not an attractive sjiectaele for
a Southern man. But every news
paper in the country receiving!
press reports published tin- item j
on dune *24, and its accuracy has
never before been questioned.
W. A. EDWARDS’ LEG BROKEN
\\ . A. Edwards happened to the J
j misfortune of getting his right leg
broken .just below the knee last!
Sunday. He and W. W. Magness
were riding past the old mill place!
below town, and Mr. Edwards',
horse walked over and old buggy ,
axle, one end of which was stick-'
ing up and became entangled in'
the stirrup leather of his saddle.
This frightened the horse, which
jumped to one side in such a man- j
uer as to wrench Mr. Edwards’
I foot so that one Ume of Ids leg
was broken between his ankle and'
the knee. He was getting along
very well yesterday and will prole
‘ably be able to be out again in a
day or two.
