[ IA II RECORD
BY CLAUDE L. COGER.

The luxury of a dozen suits
for damages is now being en-
Joyed by the Arkansas Dem
.ocrat of Little Rock. In the
Pulaski circuit court each Of
the twelve citizens of Perry
county who were on the Jury
that acquitted Jesse Heard
FOR the murder Of S. II. Blair
have instituted a suit for
$4,000 damages against the
Democrat. The paragraph
which caused these suits to
be instituted is as follows; ."
''' "Jesse Heard, a name that
will ever remain famous in
the ANIMALS of time, last May
shot down S. IT. Blair in cold
blood, merely to crafty a
.rurderous instinct. A Jury
of Perry county wild-catters
and hog thieves last Saturday
declared him mot guilty.

blush for the fair fame of his

The election just past in
Arkansas was one Of the
quietest in the history OF the
state. Avery light vote was
BOILED everywhere. Not
withstanding the small vote
IN all parts of the state, the
democracy has made decided
gains at all points. Counties
that have been giving repub'
lican and populist majorities
for years, can now be placed
in the democratic column,
Only one county, Cleburne,
Sends a populist representa-
tive'to the Legislature. The
entire state ticket is elected
by a majority of 40 900 votes.
Amendments No. 4, (railroad

Says the Texas Health
Resort; The world is run
ming mad for money. From
theurchin to the gray head
all have one aim, one desire,
and that is to obtain and
hoard money. Men make
themselves flunkies of other
men who have the lucre.
The estimate of a value of a
man is measured by dollars
and cents. When our girls
marry the question most
asked is "Did she do well?"
and in that little word "well''
we find it means money.
The pure life in the young
man lis not inquired into;
blood is blue according to
the Volume of his exchequer.
Men become colonels or ma
jors as they increase in
wealth. Prestige sails on
strong wings when tipped
with gold, and the scream of
the eagle is more resonant
than the harps ef the gods.

Roosevelt gave his Rough
Riders some sound advice
the other day when he said:
But, boys, don't get gay
and pose as heroes or lie on
your laurels, because they
vlther. Be careful of your

have in the past. The world
Will be kind for ten days,
and then, in those cold words
that the world is capable of
Speaking at times, it will
declare you're spoiled by 60

CLEVER SOUTHERNERS.

A gentleman who called on
us this week said in all his
travels, which are very ex-
tensive, that he had met all
kinds of people, some so cold
by nature that they could
drink boiling water and spit
snowballs, others who are
distant and Indifferent, but
none so clever as the good
congen1al Southerners who
will walk over Hades, on a
rotten plank to help a friend;
shed their coat to help a
worthy one in distress; ever
ready to greet a stranger
with a hearty hand shake
and a smile. He said with
all of his varied experiences
with Southern people he had
= .hut his first time to be treat
,esl other than friendly and
kind by them. He had only
met one man who thought
the Southerners were not the
most hospitable people and
he had just gotten out of
Jail.
This is much for a North
ern man to say of our coun.
try and we are pleased to
believe it is true. MILAN
