FACTIONS THIr MUST BE TURNED
DOUN

DOWN.
The city OF Guthrie has always been
regarded as overwhelmingly Republi-
can. In fact, the colored voters OF
the city hold the balance OF power,
and were they SO disposed, it would
be an easy matter fcr them to nomi-
nate and elect a Republican ticket
composed OF none but colored candi-
dates. The negro politician is a dis
Greet persc mage, however, and no fears
are entertained by the lily white Re-
publicans constituting the machine,
that the negro politician will take
municipal matters in his own hands
entirely. OF late, however, n class of
white Republican politicians has de-
veloped. These fellows pump fanci-
full ideas into the head OF the negro
and set him up as dominating factor
10 city and county politics, This ac-
tion works an injustice to the better
class Of eolored residents, who are not
inclined to augment racial dissention.
II is the professional negro politician
and his pusilS uimous white alley the
Democrats are expected TO turn down
on April 4th.

We are not disposed to let up on the powers that bc,ln our efforts to inaugurate good methods of road improvement, and no one will blame us who has occasion 10 travel any of the pubhc roads Tn St. Francis county. The road of
 which we have proudly boasted,
 namely, the Madison road, is now no longer a safe and servlceablc highway, and if some steps are not taken for it's improvement be- fore the winter season sets in, the people who travel that way will do so at their peril. The county
 bought road machine with the
 intention that it should be used
 for grading purposes. Where is that road machine5 Is 1t ever
 used! We venture 10 say that these questions will pnzzle two. thirds of the road overseers in the
 county, and still they will make no effort to come together in coz
 vention and publicly discuss the
 reforms so necessary for the bet terment of the public roads. The bridges on tho Madison road are in an unsafe condition, and there are only two or three over which 1t IS safe 10 drive. Who's to blame for this? The county judge, it is said, has recently apportioued s2,. 900 to the various road dis. tricts for the improvement of bridges alone. Didn't we get any Of that money for the rebuilding of bridges on the Madison road? These questions are of burning in- terest to the citizens of this com munity, and we believe If road overseers convention could be had many of them could be satisfactori. ly answered.

COTTON MILLS IN ARKANSAS.

Witten Mcdonald Tells of the Fac.
 tory at Marfraorh Springs.
 The question of whether cotton mills could be made to pay in Ark ansas and Southern Missouri has been settled to its own satisfaction hy the Mammoth Springs (Ark ] Cotton Manufacturing Company which has orders on hand for sev. cral months in advance and all the business it can attend te. Witten Mcdonald, secretary and treasurer of the company, was in S;. Louis yesterday. Mr. Mcdonald was for. merly a prominent business man of Kansas City, but since engaging Tn the cotton manufacturing busi- ness he spends most of his time in Arkansas. The mill at Mammoth Springs is run by water power and numbers 10000 spindles. It gives employment to 200 people. The output is F, 400 yards of cloth per day. So far no attempt has been made 10 manufacture anything bu, light grade of sheeting, which Is used exclusively in the manufacture of four sacks. The entire product of the mill is marketed in St. Louis, and, as already stated, the factory is several months behind with it's orders.
 "Our plant, which IS located just across the line in Arkansas, has been running under the pres. ent system aboyt TWO years" sald Mr. Mcdonald yesterday at the Planters Hotel. "The water comes from the famous Monmoth Springs and the plant is up-to- date in every respect. We furnish steady mar. ket for the cotton raised in our neigh hborhood, as ours is the only mill within radius of many miles. We buy from the farmers both m bale and in the seed. In the latter case, of course, we have 10 gin the cotton. We pay the raiser an average of f Sc per pound net for his cotton, and when we ge, through with It its net cash value
