 It seems to Us that t is high time the chief executive of the state was letting the political machinery run along to suit the people. To enact law provid- ing for general primary cleo ton would necessarily have te include all parties as the gov ernor is supposed to represent the people and Hot a party, his recommendations would have to cover the whole field.
 We agree with him, that such a move as he speaks of recon mending would be radical, but that it will ever be made, we doubt

A Birthday Dinner

The name of Rev. John r. Carr has become a household possession throughout southeast Arkansas. On July 18th, 1854 he made his ap- pearance on Tennessee soil. He explains that he is>in no wise to blame for his birth being on Ten nesse instead of Arkansas soil. His parents brought him to Ark ansas when lad of only ten sum mers and settled in what is now q part of Drew county.
 He commenced to preach in his 10th year and has remained in active service since. He rendered distinguished service as Confed- crate soldier and among his warm est friends are his confederate com rades. In this number Is our fellow townsman MT. Alphonso Brewster, who says there exists lifetime contract for Bro. Carr to eat birth day dinners at his home. Those who had the good fortune to be present on the 18th at the bounti- ful spread in the hospitable home of Mr. Brewster, feel that Bro. Carr Is highly favored under his birthday contract Those present were
 Rev J. s. Carr and wife, Rev. \. Turrentine and wife, Edgar Brewster and wife, Oscar Brewster and wife. Dr. Scales and Rev. Tohn NJ. Carr.
 The many friends of Bro. Carr will wish for him many returns of this happy occasion. During his ! forty-five years of active service as minister among the people of southeast Arkansas he has main tained character of spotless puri- ty and proven himself minister of hope and consolation to thous- ands of hearts and homes. It may be truly said that no minister has been more universally loved. He Is in his tenth year of pastoral work in Pine Bluff. Such has been the breadth of his spirit until people of all denominations feel that he be- longs to them.
 Too much cannot be said in hon or of the good woman who has stood so bravely by his side for the last 3S years. A host of friends will devoutly pray for her full res toration of health.-Pine Bluff Graphic.

The Herald further advises us that the convention adopted a resolution declaring ill favor of the delegated convention system, instead of urinary elections. But each county, in the judge ment of the convention, should be left free to choose either meth cd of selecting delegates, but a uniform day for holding pri- naries or conventions should be observed This IS where the state convention left that mat ter, and 1t seems to accord with the views of a majority of the Democrats of the state Ga zette.
 Thus tic Gazette comments upon part of the work of the Third District Congressional Convention But the Governor of the state is credited with the to.io wing language:

 FEE y f 3 A Few Words of Warning

Persons who may beerposed to yellow fe- yer and others living n districts liable to be infected by t wit find that timely and intel- ligent preparation is the best means of keep ing this dreaded malady out of the family Sanitary regulations in the household are ol the first importance. Clean up all refuse matter, decaying vegetation or cesspools. Drain off ponds. pool. and sinks. Burn vegetable offal from the kitchen. Eat noth- ing but light, wholesome and easily digested food, avoiding green or over-ripe fruits and vegetables Lastly, be sure that the blood, stomach and bowels of every member of the family is in healthy condition. Irregulari- ties ill the system. such as indigestion, con- stipation, torpid liver invite disease to enter the body, and in case of yellow fever, rem ders it's progress more yirulent and deadly This condition can be speedily removed and pure blood, good digestion and regularity in the bowels re-establshed by using Prickly Ash Bitters, the great System Regulator The frequent use of this remedy in dose. suited to the age of each person will main tain perfect health in the family. Get a bot tie at once while the fever is yet afar of, ust it faithfully and regularly. Prompt actior NOW in putting yourself and family in con. dition to resist the disease germs may spare you suffering and sorrow. Prickly Ash Bit tcrs can be obtained from J. MATTHEWS Special Agent

CUBAN LIBERTY.

In asking Shafter "why Santi- ago was to remain in the hands of our enemies Castillo, the Cuban, gave the American General an op- portunity to speak the American interpretation of the word war. The Spaniards are not our ene- mics, replied Shafter. We are fighting the soldiers of Spain, but we have no desire to despoil her citizens. =
 The Cuban cannot distinguish between nations and individuals. He cannot forgive the Spaniard the accident of his birth. He has no charity in his heart even for the women and children kindred of the people whose government oppress- ed him. He cannot understand that the soldier who has surrender ed is no longer foe that the man who obeys the law IS entitled to every privilege and protection 1t implies, without reference to his antcccdcnts or previous conditions.
 There is no reason why Spanish men, women and children in Gu 1 ba should not become as valuable members of the community as the Cubans themselves, assuming, of course. that they show a willing ness 10 abide by the laws of the government to be fostered and sus- tained by the United States. They will be confronted by the problem of eking out their own living, and in guaranteeing equal rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness for Cuba and its people there can be no distinction between Spanish and Cuban heredity.
 When the Cubans have master ed this as yet difficult problem of republicanism they will be in fair way to take an active part in self government. The laws under which Cuba will flourish will make no distinction of faction or race. No citizen of the island can be re garded as an enemy while he obeys the laws that must be made for all.-Republic.

Hull would remind the chairman of the various judicial and senatorial dis triets that it is necessary that they send into his office as soon as pos sibIe certificates of nominations of candidates for circuit judge, prose- cutting attorney and state senators, together with the receipt for B from the county treasurer in each county embraced in their districts. It may be well for the candidates themselves to look after that inn portant item, as their names can not be certified out to the various counties by the secretary of state to be printed on the tickets until said certificates and receipts are filed with him. Chairman will al. so remember that it is necessary to attach a Io-cent revenue stamp to each certificate, properly cancelled. Ark. Democrat.
