BROWN 5 CREEK DRY.

Tinker Greek almost Dry 3nr,
Tiger River Very Low. !
We are experiencing one of the most
severe dIouths that we have had in many
years. One Of our merchants reports
Browns creek, one OF the largest creeks
IN the county, as being rs dry as a powd,
house at tile ford. lie says he has been
crossing this creek for twenty years and
he has never before seen or heard Of It's
being dry before. This same creek
during the wet season becomes regular
torrent, spreading out several hu ldrel
yards i'll width while the center of the
stream is so deep and swift as to render
crossing dangerous. Another citizen
reports Tinker creek. which Is even
larger stream than Browns creek, AS
being so near dry that farmers are
digging holes in the led of the stream SD
their cows can get water. lie says g
was reared near that creek and never
knew it to be as near dry before. 1t
sometimes has sufficient volume of water
to float steam boat, in fact it is about
the largest stream outside the rivers in
this county. Still another reliable citizen
informs us that Tiger river is 50 low
that the bottom is plainly visible and
that the cows are wading all about in it.
Just at this point, while writing this
article, the clouds which had been hover
ing over our devoted little town, came
together and most welcome and refresh
rain began to fall in steady manner to
the great JOY and delight of the people,
many of whom We're almost Frustrated
with the terrible heat. This rain is a
perfect God-send to our peep'e who no
doubt arc unanimously returning thanks
for the blessing, 50 we will close this
without further complaint of the dry
weather.

fiud that he has suffered in the con- fidence and esteem of the public, and has ''hard row to hoe He will also find that the average office hold CT and politician cares for him only so long as they can use him to their advantage. Politicians are notcri- ously ungrate:ul. They play men as they play their cards-for profit and gain. They are as indifferent 10 one as to the other. But their hide is exceedingly tender, and they don t like to have their "hands" ex- posed. As long as a newspaper lawns and fatters them they take it as their due and as an evidence of thelr superiority over the rest of mankind. The newspaper that does this can expect to go unnoticed, but as soon as newspaper rises in it's right and majesty and in perform ance of it's public duty ctitieises the aforesaid offiee.holder, then there IS a great hullabaloo raised about it. He who has the temerity to do it at once invokes tue Gensure of the aforesaid of1ce-holder and all his retinue of sycophants and hench- men, but the public understands it.
 Now in the foregoing nothing is intended as a reflection upon our weekly contemporary, which we esteem and wish well. Our re- marks are pertinent to the excerpt appearing above and are not to be applied specifically, but generally to the matter under discussion. It is also well to impress some of the truths above stated upon the gen. eral public.

 You ask me what think of co-opera- tion between Catholics and Protestants toward religious reconstruction in our new American possessions. will speak frankly and give expression to my convictions as a Catholic and as an American. As Catholic l cannot ap- prove of any efforts of Protestants to affect the religious duties of the in- habitants of the islands. Catholics are there in complete control. They have a thorough church organization. The inhabitants are Catholics. Some of them may not live up to the teachings of their faith, but they have no idea of abandoning that faith for another. It represents all they have ever known of higher life Professionalism will never take the place in their hearts of that faith. To take from them their faith is to throw them into absolute religious indifference. If the inhabitants of those islands were all Protestants, would Protestants ask Catholics to unite with them in the work of Prot estant disintegration? Now, as an American I will no less object to ef- forts to implant Professionalism in those islands. Why? Because l want to see American rule made possible in those islands. Do your Protestant mission

aries realize that they are doing the greatest harm to America by making her flag unpopular? Spain has al ready begun to say to her former sub- jects: You have objected to our rule. Very we'll, what have you in place? You have given up to strangers not only your civil government. They are also taking away your religion" A great mistake was made, in my opin- ion, by one of our military officers in Porto Rico. He put himself forth as an official leader in establishing the Prot estant church. Now, as an American ruler he had no right and he was not asked to prevent the establishment there of a Protestant church, nor was he asked to take part in Catholic wor- ship, but the fact that he was foremost in founding a Protestant church was enough to make the simple Porto Ricans take the new chapel to repre- sent the established church of the Unit ed States 1t was enough to make them think that America was officially opposed to the Catholic religion. If 1 were America's enemy today, 1 would say to American Protestants, Hurry on your missionaries to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines and have them tell the inhabitants of those islands that their historic faith is wrong and that they ought to become Protestants. This would be the speediest and most ef fective way to make the inhabitants of those islands discontented
 Now, l will call your attention to something that occurred in Algeria years ago. Before he became president of France General MacMahon was gov ernor of Algeria. He was an ardent Catholic, as ardent as any, and he be- lieved that Roman Catholicism was the best religion for the whole world. That he believed as an individual. But what did he do as governor? Why, he issued orders restricting missionary ef- fort of any sort, Catholic or Protestant. He proposed to have peace while France was trying to assimilate that country. He called the Moslem sheiks together, and he assured them that no Mohammedans would be disturbed in the exercise of their faith. He kept his word. He may have displeased some missionaries, but he grounded French civilization in Algeria, and he did it in the only possible way, too by proving to an alien race and religion that the French were friends to both.
 Let us take that leaf out of French historv and put it in our own book. Even where organism reigns in those new possessions the present is not the time for American missionaries of any kind, Protestant or Catholic, to rush in and try to turn them away from their rights. speak as an American. Later on. when things are settled and when missionaries will be understood to be working in the name of their belief and not as Americans, the question will be more easily solved as to what mission aries might be allowed to do.

The Jonesboro Enterprise says that with Wood, Vandeyenter, Rec tor, Fletcher and Edgar Bryant in the field for governor, Jeff Davis will easily win with his hoodlum heelers.n "AH of them can't be elected says the Enterprise, and it continues: Bryant. because of his intelligence, his hitherto digni- fled bearing and his pure life, can defeat the demagogue easily, and we believe he is the one man ln the field who can easily defeat him. For that matter DayIs would have no sort of chance for election with any one decent opponent. Among those above mentioned there can be no doubt but that Edgar Bryant is the most capable candidate and would make the State a governor of whom every Arkansan would be proud.

PInch.R, Flowers.

4 peculiar species of climbing plant from Brazil has lately been introduced in the south of England, where it grows freely in the open air. It's flow- CTS are provided with fiat, horny plates, situated above the nectar cups in the center of the blossom, and which are called eDiaehing- bodies" When an insect thrusts it's proboseis into the nectar the plates pinch it fast, and on it's departure the insect must either carry off the pollen masses of the flower, or leave it's proboscis behind. In the former case, the pollen is likely to reach and fertilize another flower; :n the latter, the unfortunate insect, deprived of its proboscis, dies. Some times the legs, as well as the noses, of insects are found sticking in the flow- CTS. Only the bum blebee appears to be strong enough always to escape ampu- tation.

There are all kinds of mines in Pennsylvania. The greatest are, of course, the iron and coal mines, but few people would guess that the next extensive mining industry are the sand mines in western Pennsylvania. These mines are rarely underground, however, and many of them are viewed with wonder by passengers on the Pennsylvania approaching Pittsburg. Whole mountains are being dug away, and the granular rocks forming them are being reduced to sand for the man. ufacture of glass in and about Pitts burg.
