POLITICS IN ARKANSAS.


state. It happens that the Demo-
cratic Republican party of 1896 and
afterward, the Democratic party,
were and have been opposed to the
Federalists in regard to Estates
rights'' banks and tariff.
While during the one hundred
years of it's existence the Democratic
party leaders have been on both
sides of these questions, yet general
ly they have been opposed to the po-
sition of Federalists, wings and Re-
publicans N these things.
Free trade has charming sound to
those who have no interest in manu-
featuring Of any kind. So it was the
natural thing for the people of the
South to take up with free trade
ideas, opposition to banks and in
ternal improvements. Manufacture
ing, good finance, aud internal i'm
provements form the trio of pros
perity. The triumvirate that has made
the northern states and the nation
what they are. The absence of these
has placed the south so years behind
in education internal improvements,
etc., outside of few of the cities and
manufacturing towns of what is
known as the new south, and these
have made their progress in the re-
cent past.
In those places where there have
been enough of the energy and wis
dom of the Yankee got in to make
them the moving element in these
places, the old moss back has got
some of the ssmoss'' scratched off,
politically, as well as in other things.
While they may cling to that dear
old name, Democrat, they repudiate
it's principles. They are some like
the woman in Vermont, who, when
the women at quilting got to talking
about politics, said she did not know
what she was, but that she was just
what her father was and she "believ-
here are just what their father was in
political name, but why they should
keep the old name they know not.
Eight years ago they had kind of
a farmers political party called the
StWheel.n They have had to have
the tire reset and some new spokes,
and now they call it the Peoples
party. Many of the dyed-in- the
wool democrats went into the wheel,
and now are in the Populist ranks.
In this county the Populists and the
Democrats are very near evenly di-
vided, SO that party has had part
of the county offices for the last eight
years.
"assessing," ETC., is done by counties
instead of by townships, as in Yer
mont, SO that county politics here is
to some extent like township politics
in the East.
Party spirit does not run SO high as
it once did, but gets high enough
sometimes.
The Democrats said they would
kill the first man that dared to vote
the Republican ticket in this county;
they failed in an attempt to do SO. 1t
is just as safe to vote the Republican
as the Democratic ticket here at pres
ent.
Many of the old Confederate SOL
diers now know that their leaders de-
celved them in regard to the real en-
NIFTY towards the once hated Yankee,
and much of their love for the demo-
Gratis. Others are just as full of
prejudice as ever, and would like to

celery compound.
| Nervous affections are a warning to
busy people.
AT the earliest sign of reduced
nerve force, inability to sleep, Ian
guor, or a gloomy habit of mind,
everyone should look Immediately to
the nutrition of their nervous system
and to the purity of their blood.
Paine's celery compound will attend
to both of these urgent needs more
thoroughly and more speedily than
anything else in the world. Paine's
celery compound is not to be con-
founded with the common prepara
tions, the sarsaparillas and nervines.
Being the discovery of a man of
science, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ.
D., LII. D., of Dartmouth College, it
has the support of the best physicians;
they prescribe it universally; and the
many sick persons made well by its
use proves that that support is merit
ed.
To the great majority of business
men a vacation, to say nothing of
three months of complete inactivity,
is out of the question at this season,
even when their brains demand a
complete rest and their nerves ache
and threaten them with prostration.
Now, there are hundreds of business
men and hard worked professional
men in this city in just this condition.
What are they to do? Those who are
tired out, "run down" and debilitated
at this trying season will do we'll to
read some of the straightforward and
convincing statements from the men
and women who have been cured by
Paine's celery compound.
Nervous weakness vanishes before

fore the strong, health giving rays of
the sun. Convince, yourself of the
fact at once, if your health is at all

Rev. Zephaniah Meek, D. D., is a
household name all over the South
Since 1867 he has owned and edited
the Central Methodist" the leading
paper of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the South. He represented
his State at the General Conference
lie was one of the Kentucky Com
missioners at the Chicago Columbian
Exposition. During his ministry in
the South he has built and dedicated
five chapels. He writes from Cat
lettsburg, Ky, wnere his home is, as
follows:
81 have used several bottles of
celery compound for nervous trouble,
resulting from overwork, and with
immediate effect, as well as perma-
nent benefit. 1t is the best nerve
tonic that | have ever tried. 1t has
also been used in my family with great
benefit"
Tired out, half men and women
need something more than a mere
rest. They need a positive, unmis-
taxable nerve food; they must have
a reserve OF nerve-force to draw
from before their heads will cease to
ache and their nerves cease to tremble
with neuralgia.
lt is estimated that there are over
ten million nerve fibres in the body.
So long as these minute tissues are
kept fully nourished, one lives in
biissful ignorance of any such thing
as neuralgia, headaches, or even a
nervous system, but let one become
un-downn and the nutrition of the
body get low, and every one of these
myriad fibres becomes a "live wiren
within the flesh. Headaches, neural
gia, rheumatism, and other forms of
nervousness and debility result di-
rectly from famished nervous sys-
tenn. Paine's celery compound is able
to correct this faulty condition, The

work at II O'Clock on Wednesday
night mashed his thumb. By the
time he had arrived at his boarding
house his injured hand had become
very painful, and he concluded to sit
by the fire, instead of retiring to his
room. He drew chair up close to
the stove, and while seated there the
pain became so intense that he faint
ed, falling from the chair. His foot
came in contact with the hot stove
and remained in that position for fully
a half hour until he was rescued by
other members of the household. The
foot was cooked and the flesh came

FIGHT WITH OUTLAWS.
Burning at the Stake is the Death in
Prospect for Three Desperadoes
When Taken Captives.

CONCORD, GA, April 3. A tragedy
occurred here last night in which two
men were fatally shot. About O'Clock
Sheriff Gym and posse went to the
house of Taylor Delk, a notorious des-
perado, to arrest him on a warrant for
robbery and assault to murder. AS the
Sheriff arrived at the door he was fired
at through window with rifle. The
ball passed through his left side
About fifty shots were fired. Sheriff
Gym was lying on the front porch
begging for someone to come and get
him, when John +. Madden attempted
to drag him off. He was also fired on,
and the ball passed through both
thighs, breaking both legs
A crowd of enraged citizens, thirst
ing for the blood of the desperate,
surrounded the house, and while some
procured fire balls of tow saturated
with turpentine- which were hurled
at the building-o kept up an in
cessant fusilade from guns and re-
from making dash out into the dark
ness and so escape from their would
be captors. If it is possible to take
the trio of prisoners alive, their fate
will be horrible one, death at the
stake having been determined upon
by the frenzied people.
Sheriff Gym is sinking fast and it
is not believed that he will survive the
night. DIR. Malloy andassstants have
the wounded men under their care, but
say that all that can be done is to ease
his last moments
John +. Madden is a prominent
merchant, with wide business and
social acquaintance throughout the
State. His condition is regarded as
serious and he will doubtless have to
undergo amputation of one, if not
