Arkansas.

From the Little Rock Gazette.

gentlemen witnessed the commencement

tives' hall of the state house. There were six

remarks gave some words of advice and
encouragement to the embryonic lawyers. telling
them that in order to insure success and useful
ness they must have singleness Of purpose they
must eschew unequal partnership. avoid side
lines, such as collecting. real estate, etc.
The candidates for degrees, who occupied

strife. If he loses his temper, he loses his law
suit. 4. A fixed and unalterable determin-
alton to do right at all times and under all
environments. s. Intensity of action In
attention and indifference are fatal. g. Untiring
perseverance. Col. Miles address was q gem,

FREE BABECUE
At Van Buren, Thursday. July 9TH

At Van Buren, Thursday, July 4th.
The committee of arrangements for the Big
Barbecue and Celebration at Van Buren, on the
Fourth OF July are perfecting the program. The
committee had a meeting Saturday night, and
the finance committee advised Of the amount Of
money that would be required. 1t was decided
to have grand barbecue. After discussing
the relative merits of the Court House yard and
the old fair ground, the latter was selected as
the place for the barbecue on account of lack of
room at the Court House. While at this writing
the program Is not fully made up 1t can be said
that an Indian Ball Game between two good
clubs and Bicycle Racing will form attractive
features of the day.
Seats will be erected on the grounds to
accommodate 1000 people. The Van Buren, Water
Co., will run pipe out to the grounds, thus
insuring plenty of good ice water. There will
be no fee charged to the grounds, and fresh
bread and barbecued meat will be provided
free to all. This is an item to be remembered.
The enterprising citizens Of Van Buren are pay
ing all expenses. and most cordially invite the
people Of the surrounding country and all
neighboring towns to come in and enjoy their
hospitality. Half-fare rates on all railroads.
Good camping grounds can be found In the
grove adjoining the grounds so that those who
wish to come In wagons the night before can
find pleasant place to camp. The day will be
ushered In BY the booming of cannons The
program fully matured will be given later on.

A very interesting character in Van Buren, is
Jailer Stamps He has held the position for
twenty -four years and Mr. Phil Scott says there is
no telling how much longer he will hold it.
Mr. Stamps came to the Queen City during the
war. Some time afterward he became jailer and
has held the position continuously ever since.
Changes of political parties have not phased
him; different sheriff. have not removed him;
he has been the same Jailer Stamps for all Grim

has spent his life almost entirely around the Jail

with aught else save the keeping and welfare Of
his prisoners. The retention Of his prisoners is
years jailership but four men have escaped. two
Of them were rceaptured, one was killed. Thus
only one prisoner got away from him for good.
It is great record. But the condition Of the
Jail is another feather in JRiler Stamps career.

Hydrophobia MISUNDERSTANDING out the
Riyer-NIad Cows.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer
COTTON, June 1.-The people ofthis
section have had quite a scare on ac-
count of hydrophobia during the past
10 days. 1t has not only been mad
dogs; but also mad cows.
Of COWS supposed to have been af-
flicted with hydrophobia four cases
have been reported. Three Of the
COWS died and the other had to be
killed. The one last mentioned be-
longed to Ned Thompson, colored,
and was the occasion Of most of
the excitement referred to. The COW
got loose OH last Saturday, visited sew
eral plantations, and made the hands
scatter right and left. On one planta-
ton, the hands were forced to take to
the trees. The cow came up to the
roots of one of the trees and snorted
and paved wonderfully. Messrs. j.
NJ. Sims and J. c. Robinson got after
the mad animal, followed it several
miles, and at last succeeded in killing it.
During the 10 days mentioned, dogs
have been slaughtered by the whole
salc. l am positive that the number
was not less than 20, and it may have
been a great many more.

ABOIJT COTTON FACTORIES.

The Yorkville correspondent of The
News and Courier is very much exor-
csed over the fact that while cotton
factories continue to be built in sur
rounding towns, no effort is being
made to build one here, and thinks
that unless a factory is erected pretty
soon, the town will lose all its trade and
dwindle to nothingness.
There is no doubt about the fact
that Yorkville offers as good loca-
tion for cotton factory as any other
town in this section, and there is no
reason why such an enterprise should
not pay here just as well as anywhere
else, and we confess we would like to
see one erected. We believe that it
could be made to speedily pay good
dividends on the money invested, and
that it would also contribute material
" to the business interests of the town,
and be the means of stimulating other
enterprises of no less importance but
we don't take any stock in the idea
that unless cotton factory is speedily
erected the town must necessarily ret
rograde at the alarming rate that has
been suggested.
The building Of cotton factories is
altogether a matter for individual en-
terprise. People who do it intelligent
ly, do it only as matter of per cent.
on the money they see fit to invest.
There is no doubt Of the fact that there
is sufficient means in Yorkville for the
erection of cotton factory, and prob
ably two or three, and if so INVESTED
would no doubt benefit not only the
owners of the means, but the whole
community. AS to why these people
do not invest in cotton factories we are
unable to say. We have never seen
fit to ask them. We are afraid they
might tell us that it is none of our
business, and they would be about
right.

INCOME TAX AND SILVER.
How South Carolina Congressman Stand
on These Subjects.

How South Carolina Congressman Stand
on These Subjects.
The New York World is trying to
find out what the next congress is 60
ing to do with the currency question.
Recently it asked each congressman
the following questions by telegraph:
"Do you favor the single gold stand
ard or free coinage?"
"Do you favor further changes of
tarif?"
"Do you favor the principle Of the
income tax?"
Out of 116 members who gave
straightforward answers to the ques-
tions, 55 are unqualifedly in favor
of free coinage; Al favor bimetallism
generally, with the proviso of an in
ternational agreement and only sew
enteen are out and out goldbugs.
All of the South Carolina members
answered the questions except 1rby,
Tillman and Strait. All expressed
themselves as in favor of the free coin
age of silver except Elliott, and with
the same exception, all favor the prin-
ciple of the income tax. The reply Of
Congressman Talbert was especially
caustic and defiant. 1t was as follows :
81 am in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at ratio of
16 to 1, without England or anybody
else, and l believe that he who would
advocate single gold standard is eth
er knave or fool, and may be both,
no matter who is.

BODY RECOVERED.

The body Of John Bolin, who was
drowned in Broad river on last Sunday
afternoon, was recovered on Tuesday
afternoon at about l o'clock.
The drowning occurred at the mouth
of Guion More creek, and the body
was found near Mr.. Wilkerson's
"Darwin place." about four miles be-
low, by the rivermen engaged in the
work of transporting lumber to Lock
hart shoals.
When found, the body was in a
badly decomposed condition, and it
had to be lifted out of the river by
means of a sheet, which was placed
under it.
Mrs. Bolin, the mother of the de-
ceased, is in dying condition. On
Tuesday afternoon, it was not thought
that she could live more than a day OF
two longer. She has not been inform,
ed of the sad fate Of her son.
