 Tenth; We deny, as we have repeat- edly denied, that Mir. Featherston is Farmer. He is the same kind of farmer that the merchant or lawyer is. who owus land, except he lacks their daily employment, and devotes his time to office seeking.
 Eleventh; TmE l MES desires to give Mr. Featherston credit fer all he has done in the legislature. but we should like to know what it was. We have the record before us at this office. and nave started the task of finding out for ourselves, and so far the only notice We find of him, is among the list of names who voted aye or nay on what ever business came before the house.
 Twelfth; Do you Political Wheelers pretend to say that any person tried by the use of money or by bulldozing to swerye Featherston from the path of right?
 Thirteenth; We are informed that Fitzpatrick, whose name is signed, as secretary, of the iabove, admits that, with the exception of the charge of "endeayoring to foist negro misrule upon St. Francis county" etc, the re- mainder of the communication to the Press is correct to the letter.
 We hope all honest men will see by this exposure, just what there IS in this controversy. As the White County Wheel is not in this district, and as We hink this matter none of his business we will leave i.im out of the question.

A woman's Discovery,

"Snother wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a laiy in this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed necessarily and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miracnlously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write W. C. Hamrick < Co.,, of Shelby. N. C. Get free trial bottle at HINToNs Drng Store.

OUR Washing ton correspondent ,ays Politics is at fever height here. Both of the great parties are watching each: other to see what will be the next move. So far the Democrats have the best of the issue. The tariff and Chinese Ex- clusion Bill will tend to strengthen the party. Notwithstanding the cry of Free Trade cheap clothing, lumber, Salt and Tin, against cheap whisky and tobacco, with intelligent people will always win.

For the Agricultural Wheelers we have the highest regard. They are banded together for high and noble purposes, they desire to elevate and improve the agricultural interests. But for the political wheel, controlled by Ansey, CarlLee. Norwood and Langly. no true friend of the farmer can have any respect. They are designing office seekers, have no interest in agriculture, and only farm. with their tongues.-ln' dependent.
 These are and have always been our sentiments. MT. Featherston may also be added to the list.

SOMETHING OF THE PAST

The following communication m. reared in the Paragould Press q few weeks since, and recently an answer was published in the White County Wheel. We give them both:

Francis county. Now the intimate and warm political friends of l.. P. Feath- erston. fuse with the negro against their white brethren, and agree f0 elect three negroes to important offices on their ticket. in order to secure their own election. Democrats of northeast Arkansas take notice that Feather ston, Sweet, Coffey X Co. are not only against the state and congressional democratic ticket, but actually endeay- oilng to foist negro misrnle upon St. Francis county, for personal aggrand- lzement.

The newspaper, unlike the young la dies IS proud of Its age, and the older it gets the prouder With this issue we close volume xvii of TnE TIMES. For seventeen long years this piper has la- bored faithfully for the best interests of the entire people and in protecting the fair name of this state and county. For thirty-tliree months, under the present management. the paper has been grad ually improved until it now ranks with the largest and best weekly newspaper in the state. With one accord our friends and our enemies concede that we give more news than any other weekly in Eastern Arkansas. Merit, a good cause, and neat and readablipa- per has won. Oar patronage has in- creased very materially during the past year, not however to that extent which 1t should, in order that we may be able to put in improved machinery. While We are satisiiee that we have the larg- est bona fiJe and best paying subscrip- ton list in the county, yet it does not near reach what it seould be. We should have 200 paying subscribers and our friends owe it to us to try to get us at least one new name. Our list IS now increasing at the rate of from twelve to twenty four per month.
 Politically, TIE TIMES has been un- compromisingly democratic. and in ac- cordance with the great head of the party. Grover Cleveland In county politics our course has been the same always open and fair-and we have made many warm friends and a few bitter enemies. We are proud of both. In beginning the next volume of TIE TIMES we start out under the most fa- vorable circumstances, and while we do not expect to do much county printing for St. Francis, we have the satisfac- tion of Rowing that Crittendon has se- lected our paper as its medium, and for the present, at least, we will do the le- gal advertising for that county.
 We desire to most earnestly thank our friends and patrons for their liberal support during the past year, and solic- it Il continuance of your favors.
 Next week the paper will be very much improved and as our business grows, so will we grow. Look out for d story next week.

WASHINGTON, JULY 20, 1888.

TIE HOUSE WILL HAVE done with its
tariff bill by tomorrow; and it being
given out that the Senate proposes to
take up the question and pass upon q
tariff measure of its own, the session
promises to be heightened out several
weeks longer than otherwise antici-
pated. In such case it is to be
hoped that the House, instead of ex-
pending its time IN factious and
partisan debate, with a view to
making political capital for the cam
paign, will give prompt and energetic
attention to measures of general i'm
portance that remain to be consid-
cred, and in which the whole people,
without regard to party, have deep
interest.
Among these are the bills relative
to the Centennial of 1889 and the
Permanent Exposition of 1892, which
are Of the very first importance; the
Nicaragua Canal bill, quite as national
in its scope and a measure of similar
urgency and various other legislative
NBOAi NllNil biV
no political disagreements, but which
demand action because of their prac-
tical reference to the public good.
The present House has shown n
readiness to dispose of business sur
passed by none of its predecessors,
and considering how much of its time
has been absorbed by the tariff dis
cussion, it has made most excellent
record for itself, and we have conf-
dence to believe that during the re-
manning weeks Of the session it will
spare no opportunity to further dem
onstrate its philosophical usefulness.
Members will thus commend them
selves to the good graces of their
constituents far more than by con-
verting the House into theatre of
partisan controversy.

IT Is'oNE or THE remarkable phases
of our tariff system that country
groaning under the burden of war
taxes, as this country is said to be, is
blessed in the cheapness of some of
its most highly-protected goods. AT
the same time, we pay an exorbitant
price for butter, which is rated as a
universal necessity and taxed at four
tnts a pound, whereas eight pounds
)r a dollar could be had when the
,riff was only 10 per cent. ad
alorem. AS to coffee, which is on
he free list, the cost per pound
mounts to an extortion. 1t may be
haiti isn't the war tariff that is hurt
ing the people so much as it is the
Speculative trusts and combinations
OF these piping times of peace. The
'trobber barons" are not so largely a
heritage Of the war as they are the
product of later period.

it. Mr.. Trotter as q recipient
Of the patronage Of the Administra-

SEVERAL DAYS AGO the New York

statement that the distinguished In

coast Is about the last place in the
world TO which candidate for the
first office in the land should 90 to
write a letter of acceptance. What

hungry sight-seers at the hotels, the

Influences of "Jersey lightning" sci
entifically known as "apple-jack, "
there's no place along the shore that
would seem 80 little adapted to
the restful thought required for the
