THE St Louis Globe Democrat, with characteristic enmity toward Arkansas, is asserting that Judge Cunningham was compelled to leave home on account of the charge he made to the grand jury h Conway county and his anxiety to have the assassin of John M. Clayton punish ed. This Is given as his reason for going to Oklahoma. A baser slander was never uttered, nor one with shghter foundation. Judge Gun ningham can come home whenever he pleases without the slightest fear oi molestation. The story is the silll' est yet invented by the mendsclous G.-D.

A Fearful Rain Storm.
JULY 29rH. 1889.


 Correspondence Of the Democrat.
 Bsyliss Township has not been visited for years by as heavy rains AS fell last night. It did not rain but simply poured for about four hours. All the little mountain rocks that were dry on yesterday are to day swollen creeks, washing away crops and fences that were in their course. Fences are down on almost all farms DO matter how high they are located. Crops almost ruined on the low lands of the larger streams. Roads are literally washed away, leaving nothing but bare rocks and roots. Almost impossible to move over some roads until the overseers can get them in better condition. Farmers much distressed over the damage done to their crops, which is very great Fortunately no heavy winds attended the torrents of rain. Old farmers say such rain has not been known before in twenty years.

TIE annual meeting of the State Wheel was held at Hot Springs last week. John Russ of White county was elected president for the ensuing year The colored brother was shut out altogether and henceforth he is not to affiliate with the white Wheel CTS. in their conventions. Resolu- tons were passed condemning in strong terms the expatristion of Wheeler Sweet from St.Francis coun. ty last May. Rube CsrlLee, Lang ley, McCracken and Ansley were leading spirits in the meeting, which IS all that need be said to prove that the "polltitioners" are still on top in the organization. The next meeting will be held in Little Rock next July.

.Black Heels on White Necks. :

.-6iack neeAS Ou WuIte NeckSs
 Nashville, Tenn, had little sen- sation the other morning. It was caused by the American republish- ing from the Topeka (Kan. Capital letter on Nashville and the South, written by the wife of President J. H. Garfield of the National Teach ers' Association, then Tn session in Nashville. In this letter Mrs. Can field spoke in terms generally unfav- orable to the Southern people, and thus ventilated her views on the race question:
 s'The race question is the question of our time, believe. The blacks are in- crsasing faster than the whites. It is only question of time when they will outnumber the whites two to one. They are strong and sturdy, they are being educated and have the ballot. What is to hinder them from having the power in their hands some day? May l then be in some convenient corner in the sky to look down on the spectacle of black heels on white necks. "Cursed be Ca- naan" will do new, but it won't last l forever"
 As many Southern ladies had shown Mrs. Garfield courtesies, It is not surprising that on reading her letter in the American she was, to use the reporters phrase, overcome and had to be taken to her room, where she has been crying all day" Her excuse in private card issued during the day is that the letter was written Tn an idle hour, and she did not suppose it would be published.
 In expressing her fervent desire to see "black heels on white necks" in the South, Mrs. Garfield faithfully reflects republican fanaticism of the Kansas species. It IS the flower and fruit of that yearning for social equal. ity between the races to which fana- ticism run mad is driving the more advanced" Republican element in the North.
 But we desire to impress on Mrs. Garfield one fact: "Black heels" will never crush "white necks" while the owners of the "white necks" live. Her cherished hope must await full fillment until only the blacks occupy the South, and the bones of the whites molder under ground.-Little Rock Gazette.

Prof. Geo. Root, Missouri me teorologist, predicts that between September 12 and 27 of this year this country will be involved in the greatest storm period that has oc' cured Tn century. It will, he says be central along the Gulf and Allan tic coasts, producing terrific hurrl- canes, tidal waves and possibly earth. quakes. The interior of the United States will be severely affected, he says, bv eddies or "spurs" from the main storm which will spread over the country in high gales and terrific storms.

Fifteen Thousand Dollars for
 One.

Fifteen thousand dollars in return for the expenditure of one dollas is not a bad investment, as all will admit, and that was the good fortune that befell our young townsman, Mir. Felix Hitler, who held one-fortieth of ticket No. 62,. 605 that drew the capital prize of $e00,- 900 in the June Drawing of The Louis jana State Lottery, and his share there of, $15, 900, was promptly paid to him through the Canton Exchange Bank.
 As regularly as the months roll round the papers chronicle the good fortune of those on whom the fickle goddess bestows her blessings through the agen- cy of the Louisiana State Lottery This is not the first time winning num- bers have been held in our town, but so large an amount as that won by Mir. Hitler has not heretofore come our way. We congratulate our townsman on his good fortune. The next drawing will take place on Tuesday, August IS, the capital prize being $500, 900. Will some lucky Cantonian score another winn- ing? Who can tell? Tickets can be had by addressing NJ. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La.-Canton (Miss.) Citizen.
