The remarks of Mrs. Jennie Rol. wage before the mass meeting Mon- day night are printed in this issue. They arc practical and convincing, logical and conclusive, as to tho. benefits and necessity of a public library and gymnasium. They are published solely for the practical benefit which we think will result from the general publicity given them, and at the sacrifice of her modest protest against appearing in public print, which she made, as she makes others, when it is made plain to her that duty demands. We commend her remarks to the readers of The Times.
The Forrest City times., 1900-04-06

THE TIMES is glad to note the sincere and hearty interest which was in evidence at the mass meet. ing of citizens at the court house Monday night to discuss ways and means of establishing a public Ii. brary, reading room and gymna- sium in this city. The Cosmos club was present in body and there were quite number of other prominent women, besides q good. ly sprinkling of men. Short prac. tical talks were made and culmi- mated m the appointment of com mittee of seven to solicit subscrlp- tions to fund for this purpose Itis believed that s2500 or s3000 can be raised by popular subscrip tion, and if the whole people coulo have heard Mrs. Jennie Rollwage's remarks before the meeting Mon dcy night, we think therc would be great conviction that such a place is necessity, and the funds would be readily forthcoming There is no way to estimate the benefits of an enterprise of this character, and should Forrest City proceed with this work to finish 1t will have takon long lead over other towns of it's size and will b, admired by all philanthoplc. en- terprising and refined persons. Every parent is vitally interested because it places within reach oi their children the opportunity of securing the best reading matter and the most wolesome exercise, thus establishing pleasant resort and consequently attracting them away from immoral and degrading pastimes and sinful places. We hope there will be no abatement of the effort, to secure this great public necessity.

State Auditor,

For this important position there is presented to the people of Ar. kansas 8 most deserving gentle. man in the person of Hon. T. c, Monroe, of Columbia County. He is pre.ominently qualified and wor' thy, and is strongest where he is best known. Of the twelve coun. ties which have voted for State candidates, Capt. Monroe has car, ricd six, (and possibly seven,, while the remainder are divided among his opponents. Monroe has many friends in St. Francis County who will give him a cordial sup port in tho primary.*

Congressman F. D. McCulloch has sent out Q circular letter, in which he gives an account of his stewardship, and his record is above reproach. In closing his circular he enumerates many tho not all of the important duties be- fore him and which hc cannot pos. sibly abandon, even in order 10 win 8 rc-nonination. Should he do so we would think him unworthy of tho high trust reposcd Tn him, and because he cannot be here in per son The Times asks that he be given fair consideration. His clos. ing words are: "Howeycr much may desire your endorsement, if it can only be obtained b. my leav- ing my post of duty at this critical time, must forego it. The office belongs to the people. Let them impose it's duties where they will. Hoping 1 shall receive your ap- proval, with pride in my party, an absorbing love for my country, and full of gratitude to the people who have so often honored me, l am, etc."

.THE TIMES does not often find fault with it's friends, or anybody .elsc for that matter, and never without cause, but, as the Arkan. sas Democrat said the other day, "the newspaper that never finds anything to complain of and noth- ing to. criticise is of small conse. quence in the journalistic world, " and we are bound to sprinkle a little of the salt of criticism into our menu of praise and compli- mentary mention,. or even tha, would grow tiresome and to be .unappreciated. And here is where the trials of an editor begin. Per
 haps you never noticed it, bu, the newspaper may speak in com plimentary terms of its fellow-ci,i. zen fifty-one weeks in the year, and in the fifty-second week sal, him even ever 80 little and it has made a lifetime enemy of him and TO amount of reason or common sense will make hlm think any thing contrary.to his belief that you have always been his enemy and only awaited that particular opportunity to assail him, or pub fish something which would hurt him in the eyes of the public.

One KILLED.
BlOOdshed At SlaughtersvilIe
Sunday Night.
A Drunken ExcursiOnist Shot
Dead While Filling His
Pockets With Rocks.

Morgan Boone, a negro man %
years old, from Trenton, KY, was
killed at Slaughtersviile Sunday
night about o'clock.
He had recently been running a
pool room in Madisonyille and went
to Henderson on an L. & N, excur-
sion train from this place Sunday
morning. A large crowd, mostly
negroes, was in the II coaches of
the excursion train.
After leaving Henderson on the
return some disorder occurred in
one of the coaches in which a mum
Der Of negroes engaged. Several
shots were fired in the car before
reaching Slaughtersville. When the
train stopped there Boone got off
and was filling his pockets with
rocks. Officers came up and at
tempted to arrest him and in the
darkness and confusion several
shots were fired and Boone was
killed instantly. 1t is not known
whether officers killed him, or some
one who fired from the car. Boone
was blind drunk and many others
were in the same condition.
The negro's body was left at
Slaughtersville and taken to Tren-
ton yesterday evening for interment.
