HON. JORDAN E. CRAvENs.

Editor DEMocRAT:-Permit me to say that while Arkansas can and will doubtless have presented before the democratic state convention, soon to assemble, number of very high minded and honorable gentle men, eminently able and well quail fled in the law as jurists to fill the vacancy just made on the supreme bench by the resignation of Judge Hemmingway, court which was then and is still composed of as able and sound jurists as any other state can boast, 1 know of no one whose name may be presented who would command stronger claim as an able lawyer, a sound jurist, and possess ing high order of manhood and honor than Hon. Jordan E. Cravens to fill the vacancy on the supreme bench.
 Col. Cravens has been judge of the fifth judicial circuit, and his legal ability IS fully recognized. He stud jed law under his father-in- law, Hon. Felix L Batson, late Chief Justice of the supreme court of Arkansas, and was associated in the practice of law with the late Judge w. w Floyd, former judge of the circuit court and well known as jurist of some ability and distinction
 Col. Cravens was a Representa- tive in Congress from the third Ark ansas district and discharged the duties thereof ably and satisfactorily to his constituents.
 I have known him from his boy hood and can youch for his honor, integrity and standing as a citizen, and as a sound and good lawyer. He was Colonel of a confederate regiment in our late war, and yet bears marks of wounds re- ceived in that memorable conflict which in some degree yet disables him. l have been a resident of Pope county since 1928, then ceded to Arkansas by treaty with Chero- kees in 1927, many of whom had not even as late as 1928 removed from the ceded district which then em- braced the area now comprising Pope, Johnson, Yell, Logan, Scott, and other territory Col Cravens was then and is now living in Clarksville, Johnson county. My long and intimate acquaintance with him and the old residents of these counties, and more especially in old Pope, the banner democratic county in Arkansas, who claimed the hon. or of rescuing the state from carpet bag rule, and in which he nobiy lent his aid, warrants me in believing that he would have a strong follow ing and endorsement therein to fill the vacancy if he will permit his name to be presented therefor
 Very Respectfully,
 JNo. R. HOMER ScorT.

The Cherokee Outlet Opening

WASHINGTON, March 13.-There has been some misunderstanding a bout the form in which the Cherokee outlet provision of the Indian appro- priation bill passed. The original contract negotiated by the eommis- sion with the Cherokees was modified somewhat. The President is to open the lands by proclamation after the Cherokee Nation accepts the modifi- cation of the contract. The moditi- cations were in the nature of limit on the sums to be immediately paid to the Indians. There was materi- al change in relation to the payment of money in installments. What is called the deferred payments begin in 1895 and end in 1899. The Cher okees will get for the 5000, 1000 acres in the Strip about Sl.66 an acre. It is understood that the Cherokee Ma tion does not require six months in which to accept the notifications of the contract, though that time was given them. That would be the out side limit anyhow. The representa- tives they had in Washington when the matter was under consideration intimated that the changes would be accepted promptly so that the lands could be opened this spring. If the acceptance by the Cherokees of the notifications reaches the Interior Department in proper form this month, the lands can be opened by proclamation from the President by the middle of April. All the notice that he is required to give is twenty days.

DWIGHT AND OLD DWIGHT.

Historical Review Interesting to
 Some Pope County Citizens.
 Ft. smith Times, March IS.
 Isaac B. Hitchcock, who register ed at the Chamber of Commerce rooms yesterday, is native of Ark ansas. He was born at Dwight Mis- sion, precious in the memory of Presbyterians at the scene of the early labors of the Rev Cephus Washburn, who came with the first Cherokees that came to the country.
 The present site of the Dwight Mission referred to is in Pope coun- ty, situated on the west bank of the Illinois bayou, which is crossed by the railroad four miles west of Rus sellville. The exact spot is about 300 yards up the creek. This Dwight will be eonfounded in his tory with the present Dwight Mis- sion up in the Indian Territory, but we can't protect the country hun dred years hence.
 COMMUNICATION.
 ED. TIMES, DEAR SIR: Allow me to correct a slight error in yester- days edition I refer to the short article headed "Old Dwight" l do do not know who is your informant, but while giving you a bit of inter esting history, he is not quite as fully posted as he thought himself to be. Rev. Cephus Washburn did not come with the first Cherokees that came to the country" by some forty years. The first Cherokee came at about the close of the Reyo- lutionary war. They foated in flat or keel boats down the Tennessee the Ohi6 and the Mississippi rivers to the mouth of the St Francis and up that stream a few miles. They lived there only few years, when they moved over on the White river spreading from there westerly over on the Arkansas river. To partic- ularize, draw line from Lewisburg county, in northeasterly direction, until it strikes White river near the southeast corner of Independence county. That line will mark ex- treme southern settlements of the Cherokees. Now starting from just above Van Buren, draw another line n the same direction, striking the White river not far from Melville, Marion county. Those two lines,
