Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slSillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

BATTLE ABBEY. A PROPOSED INSTITUTION THAT SHOULD BE
 ENCOURAGED.
Citizens of Pine Bluff Subscribe S2OO For the Proposed
 Museum.

Sometime ago Charles Broadway Rouss, the great New York million aire, proposed to donate $l00, GOO for the purpose or erecting Battle Abbey of the South--a museum for the preservation of relics of the Confederate army and civil war on condition that the United Con federate Veterans of the South would raise a2 equal amount for the same purpose.
 For sometime the members ol various camps of Confederate vcter- ans throughout the South have been raising funds by private subscrip- tion for this purpose, and the loca- ton of the proposed museum of Con federate relics has created no small degree of comment and agitation among the Southern press. Rich mond. Va, New Orleans, La, and Memphis, Tenn, are among the leading cities making an effort to secure the location of the Battle Abbey.
 At the coming reunion of ex-Con- federate veterans at Richmond on June the Both the location of the Battle Abbey will be decided, and it promises to be the most teresting question to come before the meet ing.
 On yesterday (rhursday) Col. R. M. Knox and Mir. ]. E. Trulock made partial canvass of the city for subscriptions to the Battle Alb bey fund with the result that they secured over $200 in the short space of two hours.
 The paper circulated and the amounts subscribed will be found below, as follows:
 WHEREAS, Mr. c. B. Rouss has agreed 10 donate the sum or $lOU, UUU for the erection of a Battle Abbey, on condition that the united South will subscribe an additional hun dred thousand dollars for said pur- pose, and
 WHEREAS, The J. Ed. Murray Camp Confederate Veterans are anxious to be represented in the said Battle Abbey,
 Now, therefore, we, the under signed, do hereby subscribe the amount set opposite our respective names for the said fund and agree to pay the same on demand to E. M. Knox and J, B. lrulock, delegates to the Richmond reunion for said camp.

 Mr. Grace accepted both the amendment and substitute and all were adopted.
 Upon motion of Mir. J. w. Craw- ford, Messrs. r. c. Bridges anu c. NJ. Philpot were appointed tellers.
 A motion waa then made and unanimously carried that the dele gates to the State Convention be in- structed to cast their votes and use their influence tn secure the election of the Hon. $. NJ. Taylor, ofthis city, as delegate from this Congressional District to the National Democratic Convention to meet in Chicago July the 7th.

Finally some of the country dele gates, becoming impatient at the de lay and not understanding the pro- gram adopted in caucus by the fol- lowers of the two leading contest ants, arose and placed the names of Bum and Bryant before the conyen- ti0n.

Mai Uh;te oddrassas fefred upon me in
 inc Convention. thus selecting me to preside over your deliberations. and promise. with your assistance to do justice and protect tine rights os each individual member of this convention. 1 ask your aid and CO., operation in this behalf, so that our actions may be accepted by all and that those whose particular views may not be approved by the action of the convention may be able. at least, to say: We have had fair chance, and justice has been done us, and that they may accept the deGis- ions of this convention as binding upon them-upon the democratic principle that a majority must rule. 1'huse who may represent the views held by the majority of the delegates in this convention, 1 will say, now is the time for you to be generous and mHgnanimous to your demo- cratic brothers who may hold differ ent views to yourself. Give them a fair and impartial hearing and let them understand that while there may he difference between us in our views. They are still our political brothers, and therefore, entitled to n fair henring--a democratic law.
 This convention meets today under particularly pleasing circumstances. The God of nature has lavished upon this section of his vineyard all the blessings of bright and happy sum- shine, and has not blighted uS by the destructive cyclone or drouth, and our fields have been made t0 blossom like the rose, with a flatter- ilE prospect of nIl abundant harvest.
 The news reaches us from every quarter that the great democratic party, which has ever stood for the rights of the people against the classes, is still engaged in that noble warfare, and the all-absorbing question of the free and unlimited coinage of silver is receiving, as 1t should, the support of almost every true and patriotic Democrat Tn the land.
 So far as the principles of our party are concerned, the nation will haveno cause to complain at us for not act ing boldly upon this question, TOT from the present outlook the Chicago convention will tell the world, in nii- mtstakable terms, that the great Democratic party wants this great liberty y-loving country to be free from all control of other nations Tn her finances as ske is free from their con- trol in all other governmental ques' tions, and that as policy of our government, we want free and un. limited coinage, both of silver and gold as the money of final redemp. ton upon a parity of l6 to l, and

Now, if the other camps of Con- federate Veterans will be as active as the above named gentlemen who are members of J. Ed. Murray Camp of this city, the necessary $1OO, 900 can be easily raised.
 The Battle Abbey will do much to perpetuate the glorious memories of the great civil war and illustrate the heroic part played therein by the Southern braves and cavaliers, and for the sake of our land and it's glorious memories, we trust that the $100, 900 will be successfully raised.

LITTLE RocK ARK, June II.

LITTLE ROCK ARK, June II. To the Democrats of Arkansas
 am no longer candidate for Governor. The platform upon which I stood as a candidate and the principles l expect always to ad- yocate are well known to all. My position has not met the approval of the people, and the office to which l aspired is their property to be given as they prefer. The future alone can determine whether my position was best for the country. So far as 1 am concerned l have no doubt that time will vindicate the justice of my position and the cor rectuess of the platform upon which 1 stood as a candidate. Nol anguage at my command can express how gratefully feel to all who have locked with favor upon my aspirations. In retiring from the contest, though defeated, 1 am not the less loyal Democrat, proud of my party and it's glorious history, and that I will stand ever ready to labor for it's supremacy in the township, county, State and Nation. Very truly,
