HoT SPRINGS, July Il, 1919,
DEAR DuNuAM: In multitude OF
council there is wisdom, says the good
book, and see no harm in discussing
the democratic candidates for the presi'
dcncy, if we do not forget ourselves, in
our zeal for particular favorites, and
stigmatize unjustly other noble champi'
ons who may, on account of great ser
vices, be spoken of as rivals OF our iavo
rites. The shrewd organs Of the re
publican party are careful not to fur
nish us with weapons of their own man
ufacture, to use against any Of their lea
ders who may chance to be nominated
/, like Mr.. Wheeler of the Independent
would like Senator Thurman, but, an
like the Independent and Courier Jour
nal, can have no word Of reproach fol
those eminent coppcrheads' (bad coir
from an illicit minD and democrats tried
byssfre, Hendricks, or Bayard, or En-
glish, of your own old State, or Tilden
of New York, or Randall, of Pennsyl
vania. l don't care how they stand or
finance, respectively. Let us get con

WHY WILL YOU

Allow n cold to advance in your sys.
EN- and thus encourage more serious
malades, such as Pneumonia, Hemorrha-
ges and Lung troubles when an immedi.
ate relief can be so readily attained.
BosenEE's GERMAN Synup has gained the
largest sale in the world for the cure OF
Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung Dis
eases. 1t is DR. Bosehce's famous Ger

the greatest care, and no fear MED be en-
tertainca in administering it to the young
est child, as per directions. The sale OF
this medicine is unprecedented. Since
first introduced there has been q constant
increasing demand and without n single
report of failure to do its work in any
csse. Ask your Druggist as to the truth
of these remarks. Large size 10 cents.

Eun Ahead.

Since the above was in type, arrangements
have been made, and bet of one hundred
dollars wagered between the friends of Bax
ter and Franklin. The race will be run on
Wednesday, the 23d of July, at O'Clock p.
m. There is good deal of excitement, and
lively time is expected. 1t is said that the
Fort Smith boys know Baxter, and will bet
their bottom dollar on him. That Baxter is
the better man on the foot is believed by two-
thirds of the people of the county. and they
will back it up with the dollars of their dad
dies"

Foot Racing

Seems to be the order Of the day. Friday
the ioot-race between James Baxter and Jno.
Franklin came off on the north side of the
court-house square. A good deal of feeling
was worked up on the part of the friends of
the two parties. Odds were bet on Baxter,
ana he was looked upon as the winning man.
But, contrary to the expectation Of most all,
Franklin won the race by several feet. The
knowing ones say that this was a throw-off
of Baxter to get larger and better bet, and
that he allowed Franklin to beat.

DR.. HamiltOn's Opinion.

A Washington dispatch of the 1otl
says; DR.. Hamilton, supervising sur
geon general of the marine hospital ser
vice, does not apprehend a repetition O
the yellow-fever epidemic of last yea'
in the South. He thinks there may be
sporadic cases, but considers that the
precautions taken will prevent any
spread of disease. The negro exodus
may carry considerable infected baggage
into Missouri and Kansas, and thus cause
some cases of yellow fever in those
states.

THE SUPERVISOR LAW.
WASHINGTON Feb. 21.-The Republicans
have about concluded to make only a short
opposition to the repeal of the Supervisors
law, and then allow the whole thing to 60
to the Senate, where they know it can be
stopped. 1t is thought that the general op-
position among the Democratic Senators to
the repeal of the test oath, at this time, will
cause the Democrats to weaken in the
House OH the clause, and thus compromise
On the repeal of the test oath.
THE CHINESE BILL
Just before the House adjourned yester-
day afternoon, Willis, Of Kentucky, moved
10 non concur in the Senate amendments,
and asked for committee of reference. To
this Harry White objected. 1t begins to
look as if there will be some considerable
objection to considering the question at all
in the House. The opinions of the press
since the bill passed has had very decided
effect on members, and many now wish
the whole question was out of the way, and
would be glad if they did not have to vote
upon it again.
