Little Rock Gazette.

biNstV NUN UdL5Ues
Deputy United States Marshal w.
D. Mclnturf, who is a resident OF
Logan county, arrived in the city
Sunday on the train from Memphis
en- route home from visit to estate
of Georgia. He continued his trip
yesterday, leaving on the morning
train, Little Rock and Fort Smith
railway.
During his short stay in Little Rock,
however, a Gazette reporter ascer
tanned the following particulars of his
trip: A year or two since a tall, long
haired fellow made his appearance in
Logan county, and in reply to the
queries of the people, who are ever
glad to cordially welcome immigrants,
gave them to understand that he had
heard such good reports from their
country, he would make it his home.
His welcome was warm and cordial,
but he had not been there long
before he began to drop hints that
he had at one time been a bold,
bad man in Georgia." Friends
Of the Deputy Marshal carried to
him the statement made by the new
conner, who gave the name of Oscar
Golfer, and the officer at once secretly
hied away to the goober grabbing
State. He was directed to Walker
county, and reaching there he speedily
learRed that Oscar was in great de-
mand. Going to the books he found
no less than six indictments hanging
over his head, and standing reward
of $500 offered for his capture, dead
or alive. He found him charged with
aH attempt to murder DR.. Simmons,
and that he had also stolen and
secreted under a church a lot of
crooked whisky, and the officers being
on the point of running him to his
hole, he burned the church to prevent
the discovery Of his crime, and fed
the country. Returning Immediately
to Logan county Mr.. McInturf arrest
ed Golfer, despite his threats and pro-
testations Of innocence, and delivered
him to the Georgia officers. The
prisoners brother made an unsuccess
ful attempt TO set him at liberty, one
of them nearly losing his life thereby,
before the iron doors shut in around
Mr.. Golfer, Of Arkansaw."

THE GOLD MAN"
Complimentary to a Sky Blue
Democrat.

The Nashville Banner and the Ava.
lancke used to give each other some
lively licks, but as both are supporting
Colonel RUSSELL now, they get along
very tremendously. The Banner of
yesterday pays our handsome "old"
neighbor the following handsome com
pliment:
Colonel Nichols, "the Oldham" of
the Avalanche, is making a gallant
fight for Democracy. Memphis is
considered by many completely gone
over to reputation. There is far
larger circle of men holding sound
views than manyimagine. As a com
mercial city it is subject to sure re-
action, demanded by every interest Of
every citizen. No oity in Tennessee
has finer prospect bat for this blight,
which grows mainly out of the city
debt, which was, beyond question,
largely fraudulent and exceedingly
oppressive. There is, and always has
been, a large element alive to the
value Of sound credit, and hence the
manly conflict of Colonel Nichols is
none the less valiant fight, and by
no means hopeless light.
The Old Man" first became known
to the public on account of his brave
devotion to his people during the vel
low fever epidemic, when he staid BY
those who could not get away, at a
time when courage, hope and cheerful
words were more than money or medi-
cine. Much the "0ld Man" had to
say sounded roughly to those at dis
tance, who did not appreciate the
work he had TO do, or the situation Of
that devoted city in an epidemic, such
as has never been excelled, anywhere
for its horrors, alleviated though they
were by modern humanity and courage,
such as has never come to the relief
OF the stricken in the middle ages.
The ability, courage, and true manhood
Of the man became known to his
own people and beyond his own
circle. Since that time he has been
better known as the able and pungent
writer, editor of an independent
journal, Democratic, with true
Democracy, but hitting friend or foe
gone wrong or crossing his views. He
was the most consistent and defiant
opponent of the 1908, and about the |
only consistent opponent it had among
public men. The gentlemen who op,
posed it and are now candidates for |
various Offices oannet afford to COM
pare their opposition with his disin-
terested d uunciation of what he be-
lieved to be destructive of all State |
sovereignty, in which we think he was
mistaken. In our own discussion of |
the matter with the Avalanche we |
always granted frankly that we
had met an honest antagonist. |
While he fought against the
1908 he fought as persistently for |
such settlement as Democracy was
bound to make. Hence he stands now |
as most efficient supporter of true
Democracy in city where true De-
mocracy is badly needed.
1t is by such men Democracy is to
be built up and strengthened. The
men who blindly pursue party for its
own sake as an end in itself or for |
their own ends, never drag parties out
of old ruts or adapt them to thetimes,
True Democracy has worthy builders, |
vhe are creating the ruling party in
America, and Of these there'is is none |
worthler or more efficient than the
"Old Man" Of the Avalanche.

MAJOR Walter A. Goodman is a
candidate for Magistrate for the city
at large, and has, as far as known, no
opposition. He is thorough business
man, an educated, courteous gentle
man, who, if elected, will take high
rank among the Magistrates of the
county and give general satisfaction.
AS member of the County Court, he
would exercise fine influence on be
half Of the people. 1t is fortunate
when such men can be induced to
serve, and with the increase Of wealth,
population and public business, the
people are coming to understand this
better, year after year. Major Good
man stands very high in public es-
teen, and his election, which now
seems assured, will be hailed with
much pleasure.

ALEXANDRIA, August 2.-Marines
from the ships Inconstant, Defense

A scare took place here last even
ing. There is a clump Of trees on
SWeetwater canal, about in the center
Of the British line of Outposts, which
was guarded by company Of the Six
teenth RiAemen, who were duly posted
there last evening and cautioned by
Major General Allison as to the necos
sity of maintaining absolute stiffness.
and were ordered, in the event of an
attack in force, to fall back in order
to the barricada house by the side of
the canal. These instructions were
apparently fully understood, and the
General left satisfied About 2 o clock
in the morning the enemy suddenly
appeared on the left of our outposts
with infantry and cavalry. They had
approached very rapidly and un-
observed, and before our men had
time to check their advance they
charged the clump of trees at great
pace. The Rifles fred a single volley
and then broke and ran along the
bank of the canal. The outlook would
seem to have been very defective, and
worse still, the retreating troops neg
lected all orders concerning the rally
ing point, and never stopped until
they had reached the fortified water
works hill about a mile distant. Four
Of them even ran till they reached the
camp. They spread all sorts of ridicu-
lous rumOrs, such as that they had
lost all their comrades, had seen
Major Ward surrounded by the enemy,
and similar nonsense. A company
instantly moved forward to the bank
Of the canal. The enemy had appar
emily not followed the fugitives far,
but had taken the rifles they had
thrown away in their fight, and se-
cured their reserve of ammunition.

Those stolen Archives.
World, |.


A sensational report appeared in
some OF the daily papers Sunday Of
the theft of State archives from the
armory at the capital. 1t is the i'm
preston of most of the attaches OF
the capitol that the reports were
greatly exaggerated, particularly as to
the Importance OF the books stolen.
A World reporter interviewed Mr.,
Dantel, the gardener, who has charge
OF the armory, concerning the mat
ter He says that he and the por-
ters both have access to the armory,
the latter only going there when sent
by the attaches Of the offices. He
said the report in the American was
all exaggerated account. Hehad not
seen any other account. As to the
number OF volumes taken, he thought
it was true that there were about
five hundred, but they we're princi.
pally Senate and House journals OF
1865. There may have been a
few more important volumes among
them. He believes the reports had
their origin in the fact that certain
parties were dissatisfied with the
Governor on account of his falling
to appoint a superintendent. This IS
thO opinion of other persons about
the building.

more than one duty. Beside fixing
the "Boltaire" within the pale of pure

RAILROAD SUIT.
The Batesville & Brinkley Railroad
Company
Gees into Chancery to Compel
the Iron Mountain TO stop a
Branch.
Little Rock Gazette.


A suit was commenced yesterday in
the Ohancery Court here by the Bates
vile Il Brinkley railroad company
against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain
Il Southern railway, to enjoin the
latter company from building a rail.
road from Batesville to Newport as a
branch OF their main line, connecting
at the latter place. 1t is charged
that the Batesyille & Brinkley com.
pany organized some eight months
ago TO build railroad from Brinkley.
IN Monroe county, to Batesville, In
dependence county, and had complied
with all the requirements of the gen.
eral railroad laws to constitute them
a corporation and endow them with the
franchise, to build and cooperate such
line ofroad, and had in good faith
gone to work to build the same; had
surveyed, located aud let the contract
to build the whole line, and
ten miles of the line
from Brinkley to Cotton Plant
were already completed and the cars
running, and the contractors had a
large force Of hands now at work near
Cotton Plant, and were about to put
another force of hands, at work at the
Batesville end. That lately the Iron
Mountain company had surveyed and
laid out road from Batesville to New
port, distance Of twenty-five miles,
along the same line, parallel and With
in ten miles Of the same, and were
actually proceeding to build the same.
The company claims right to build
such liue under the charter of the
Cairo & Fulton Railroad Company of
January IL, 1853, without any new
organization under the general rail
road law, as a branch connecting with
her main line at Newport. The plain
tiff charges this to be an infringement
of her prior franchise, and the prayer
OF the petition is for an injunction re
straining the building Of the road by
the defendant. The case is brought
and conducted for the Batesville &

THE Republican party claims to be
the custodian Of all the principles
worthy to animate and distinguish a
free, intelligent people, and to be the
special advocate and defender of moral
ideas of law and order. This is a big
contract for party that has bred and
protected so much venality, nepotism
and gross immortality, and that has
abused its power to any extent neces
sary to carry an election, even going
so far as to steal the Presidency. Yet
the leaders constantly proclaim the
Yirtuous intentions of the party and
promise reform and great things for
the betterment Of the masses. One Of
them last night, the Governor of this
State, after landing the Republican
party and himself to the skies for
nearly two hours, closed by az appeal
that could be intended only to fire up
the passions and prejudices of his
most ignorant hearers. He threatened
that the land would be deluged in
blood again if the right of suffrage is
not freely and fairly accorded to the
negro. This sounds like the old time
blood. and thunder style of Barbour
Lewis, when he appealed to the worst
passions of the mob. If Republican
ism is really progressive, public spirit
ed and liberal, it should put forward
better proof and a more intelligent
kind of a man than presented to the
crowd last night. Here we are, sew
enteen years after the surrender, in a
time of profound peace, with the ut
most good will and good understasn-
ing between the two races, and the
Chief Executive of thes State talking
about oceans of blood. No wonder
the Republican party in the South
makes so little headwsy with the in
telligent, reasoning masses. 1t may be
the party Of progress and intelligence
in the North, but in the South it is
different; it is mainly made up of the
negro, and led by a few designing
white Office seekers. There is no oc
casion or excuse for any such incen-
diary remarks. The rights of all are
guaranteed by law, and civil authority
as we'll as public sentiment is strong
enough to enforce the laws in the
South as we'll as in the North; in
Memphis as we'll as in Philadelphia
or Boston. Such appeals and such
illusions are unworthy of any leader
and especially of the Chief Magistrate
of a State, who is sworn to enforce the
laws. He has been Govorner two
years aud is commander in chief Of
all the State militia, and we have not
heard that he found it necessary to
go to any scene Of danger, or to have
any bloodshed, nor has he ever had
the reputation Of a man given to blood
letting, either in time of peace or war.
