Hon. J, P. Roberts is announce

Hon. J. P. Ro oberts is announced in this issue as a candidate for Prosecuting attorney of this, the First Judicial Circuit, subject to the wish of the Democratic party. Jim Roberts is too well known for us to say anything new of him. He was the Prosecuting Attorney for two years, and besides has practiced more or less in this county for years, and is known "far and near." He made good officer during his former incum- bency, and if nominated and eleot- ed will add his experience 10 the discharge of the duties in tho future. We ask for him the consideration which his ability and qualifications deserve.
The Forrest City times., 1898-03-18

The primaries should be just exactly fair and honorable as to who shall vote, and positively without regard to the interests of any one candidate or set of candi- dates. It has been stated that the prescribed qualifications are toolax. We don't think so. provided the letter and intent of the resolution n is strictly carried out. No man can vote who is known 10 be op- posed to Democratic principles, or who does not endorse the Chicago platform. That means everything. The white man or negro who has heretofore and always voted the Republican ticket cannot come in under this requirement. The judges must be very particular about this matter if they have the interest of the party uppermost in their hearts and would prevent party dissen- tions.

Considerable interest is being manifested in J. W. Colquitt, of Little Rock, whose name IS well known to all Arkansas newspaper readers, and who is s candidate for the office of State Land Commls- sioner, and a brief sketch of the man is interesting. He is a native of Georgia, but came to Arkansas in 1860, locating in Drew county. He enlisted in the First Regiment of Arkansas Confederate Infantry in 1861, was made Colonel of the same, lost his right foot at the battle of Atlanta July p, 1864. and at the close of the war returned to his home, where he served as County Judge in 1866. He has since located in Pu laski county, and in 1890 was elected Tax As. sessor and held that position three consecutive terms. He is well qualified for the position to which he aspires, and needs the emolu- ments of the office to enable him to provide for his family. The old Confederates. especially, will no doubt give him 8 cordial SUD- nort

The Times announces Hon. l.. P. Berry, of Crittenden county, as a candidate for the office of Sena. tor from thls, the Seventh Sena- torial District of Arkansas, sub jecl to the will of the Democratic party. We are not personally ac- quainted with MT. Berry, though we know of him. He has been in public life long time. He is a man of more than ordinary ability, and if nominated and elected will represent the wishes of his con- stltuents, rather than his own. H e is a candidate upon his merits, but at tho same tune strongly urges, as a very important consideration, that by virtue of the compact of the counties or precedent, or un- written law, (whatever you may term the scheme of rotating by countiesl thls is justly Crittenden county's turn to have the Senator ship. He therefore asks the SUD- port of the St. Francis Democracy, aud The Times bespeaks for him the unbiased consid eration of tho voters. A'
The Forrest City times., 1898-03-18

The candidate who opposes the St. Francis levee law is busy explain ing his position. He tells you he is just simply in favor of "letting the voice of the people rule, and if the levee tax is right. they should be allowed to say so, or not" This is good old democratic doctrine with which men can find no req sonable fault. But it seems to The Times that the people are ruling, and have been ruling for To, these many years, and that they several years ago decided to aid by taxes the construction of a levee. The work has been in progress, seven teen miles were built last year, and while an overflow has not been prevented, great quantities of-water have been kept off the bottoms, and the overflow would have been much more disas trous without the levee. It takes time to redeem that vast section of bot. tom land-the richest in the world, and 1t would be folly at this time to abandon the work just as 1t is at its most promising stage, thus wasting the money already spent, making government assistance i'm possible, and returning to the primitive conditions which existed prior to the levee enterprise on this side. There are many, we don't know whether they are in the majority or not, who have h. terests in this bottom, who think as we do, that now is not an ap. propriate nor opportune time 10 reopen the question of levee taxes. Not that we think it would fail, but because it will make govern ment assistance less likely, and sap the foundation of the whole levee plans if 1t did fail, thus, as we said before, wasting the large sums of money already spent in the unfinished and untried enter prise. We think the people voted the levee tax with all the lights before them. At best it was merely an experiment. Impatient to see great results, many, perhaps, have concluded that ''it can't be done," and are now anxious to stop their support. This is unjust to others who have also paid their part, and believe that it can be done, and will be, and that if the levee can be completed, (and it takes time to do that) then there will be such results as will amply justify the outlay. They are en- titled to the full benefit of an ex. pertinent. Then if it fails, the people can vote it of.
The Forrest City times., 1898-03-18

The Times is not subsidized on the levee question. That's a mis- take, if anybody tells you so. There are q few persons Tn the world who are so narrow that they think every one who differs from them on public questions is bought. Sensible people are disgusted with such rot.

its rultitudes of dead and dying. The horrors of war are no greater than the horrors of disease. If all the nations of the earth were at war against each other there would be no such carnage wrought within the year as that which is accomplished annually by one dread disease consumption.
 And yet this most fatal of all diseases Is not without its remedy. It is no longer the irresistible destroyer that it was considered thirty years ago An entirely new aspect is put upon the possibilities of this dreadful malady by the astounding remedial action of Dr. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery, which cures consumption by nourishing the lungs with an abundant supply of pure, highly vitalized blood.
 This stops the formation of tuberculous matter, and builds up fresh tissue, muscular flesh and vital energy. It gives digestive power to the stomach which is too weak to assimilate oily emulsions.
