Every editor makes enemies. A
little squib, aimed at no one in par
ticular will hit some hollowheaded
individual, and he at once declares
himself "agin" the paper The paper
may have given him many compli-
mentary notices, but the imaginary
thrust set him on his dignity and he
at once establishes himself as a critic;
but he hasn't enough nervelto go to
the editor, in a gentlemanly manner,
with the grievance. Just nbtice and
you will see that the mem who are
"agin" their home paper, Jas a rule,
care men who would not be missed il
they would leave thecomhunity for
yer. On every question oflocal inter
est the home paper stands ready to
make fight for the greatest good to
the greatest number and the best oil
the citizens are at its back lex.

The Half Had Not Been Told.

G. E. Gresham returned from the
Arkansas zinc fields this week, "
ing Visited Boone, Newton, Searcy
and Marion counties, where he has
interests. This was Mr.. Gresham S
first visit to that land where he had
made investments upon the represen-
tations OF Others. When asked if the
truth had been told him he said:
Those giving me information
were entirely too conservative. They
did not tell me the half that found
There is nothing on earth equal to
that country in riches, where jack is
so nearly in the pure state that it
hardly needs milling. This was es-
pecially noticed at the Dayy Crockett
mine. The Tomahawk copper mine
shipped ore in sacks across the
mountain to White river at cost of
$500 a ton, and then down the
river to Batesville and on to St.
Louis. After paying the cost of min
ing, land aud water transportation
and milling the fortunate owners
had $50 a ton left. What more
man wants l can't conceive.
The zinc mines in Newton and
Searcy are just as rich, for you can
see the ore in the rocks from the sur
face down. That the country is on
boom may be judged from the fact
that seventy-uine men from the
northern and eastern states were at
the hotel l stopped at in Harrison,
and the four other hotels were as
full proportionately to their size.
"Then the climate and water, the
great springs flowing from the
mountain sides, the beauty of the
country, and the appetite" Mr..
Gresham paused a moment in med
itation and then resumed:
Zone can eat anything and be-
come hungry in an hour. The health
fulness of the country is remark able.
The ozone exhilerates, the water de-
lights, and the riches within reach
gives one that feeling of satisfaction
that removes all thoughts of this
worlds daily struggle. There is no
place like tit exceeds the famous
mines from which came the gold to
build and embelish Solomon's temple,
am well content with my invest
ment there, for we have struck it
rich"-South McAhster News.

MANILA, P. l., APRIL 2ND, 1900.

Harrison, Ark.


Harrison, Ark.
DEAR FATHER:-Another opportu'
nifty presents itself for me to write
you and let you know that, although
we have met all sorts of trials and
hardships since my last, we are still
on top and am enjoying the best Of
health. | have not been sick any
since our arrival here, although am
perhaps the only one of our COM
pany so fortunate. There is a great
deal oil sickness here, especially chills
and fever, typhoid, malaria and
boils and ulcers brought on by soak
ing in mud and water.
During the last six weeks | have
been in a number of skirmishes and
on several occasions have heard the
Mauser bullets whistle pretty lively,
but so far they have missed melt
won't do to brag about such things
i'll this climate, however The last
fight we had one of the men
out of my squad was killed.
Our first tussle with the insurgents
lasted three hours; the next from s
O'Clock in the morning to 4 in the
afternoon; and the last one kept us
peppering away for two days. Our
loss up to date has been 9 men killed
and Is wounded.
l don't know how long we will be
kept, but you know | would cut it
short if | had my way. | spend a
part OF my idle time thinking about
old Arkansaw, and sometimes on
the march it seems that nothing on
earth woald taste as we'll as a drink
from one OF Boone county's crystal
springs. Even a good swallow out
of Crooked Greek would be bless
ing.
1t has been reported that Aguinal-
do has run off or been killed, but the
soldiers here don't believe any such
a thing We will have a long and
bloody road to travel yet before he
and his crowd are disposed of.
Since January LIST the attention of
the army has been largely directed to-
wards the orghniza ton of local gov
ernments in the principle towns.
These governments consist of mayor
or president and council, They have
jurisdiction over the town and adjoln-
ing country, Tor barios). 1t is the pol
icy of the administration to treat the
natives with the greatest kindness
and consideration, perhaps too much
kindness and consideration. The
climate and natural resources of the
islands are wonderful. 1t is truly
land of perpetual summer.
We have seen Indian corn in all
stages of development in a days
march, and the same day saw the
stately palm and broad leaved bana-
ma trees laden with their fruits. In
its present almost undeveloped condi-
ton, it is land of plenty according
to their manner ofliying. The natives
live in comparative luxury, with al
minimum of labor. If with no I'M
ternal Improvements and with the
extravaganza and corruption Of
Spanish administration the foreign
trade of the islands amount to $50
900, 900 for 1897, what may not be
expected of them under improved
conditions.
Write me often and send me the
HARRISON TIMES, for anything from
home these days puts new life into
me. Give my best love to mamma
and the children, and tell them that
| am just as anxious to see them as
they can possibly be to have me
back. AS ever your loving son,

gathering through a present day
street would be laughed at as sort
of tin-pot hypocrit, His heroics
would look ridiculous. Our cate
chism would bewilder him.
Do you produce anything-do you
hold life saered-do YOU really honor

TS-son; then enclose her In my cas-.
tie to work, to wait, and to be igno-
rant. 1t makes the heart sick to
think of the millions of woe-begone,
dirt-begrimed serfs who formed an
unhonored, down-trodden platform
whereon chiyalry could disport it
self. The olden, golden knight was
too often a .quarrelsome rascal
whose deeds were simply those of a
refined savage.
The ideals of chivalry were pale
flashlights beside the simplest ideals
of the simplest men who love and
honor freedom. We have changed
the measure of man since then.
We now know that the unfolding,
unspinning classes have no monop
oily of knightliness. The gifts OF the
rich to the poor are less in total val
ue and infinitely less in proportion
than the charities of the poor to-
wards each other. We now know
that the best glories of our human
nature do not flourish under the
false ideas that chivalry taught re-
garding powess, honor, ease and
wealth. Selfforgettulness, persist
ent endeavor, and kindness are
most endangered by such a system.
The domestic virtues of truth,
simplicity, and of gentleness to-
wards those who are weak-are
rather to be extolled than the veneer
of culture or the hypocrisy of honor,
falsely so called. The everyday
knight of the present wears no livery
except the livery OF soul that makes
him the servant of all. He winds no
reseunding horn, he deals no death
tssssl-A 5.csssr.hM his stccd champs
no foaming bit; but he is neverthe-
less every inch knight, His grimy
hand is on the throttle to stay I'M
til Death loosens it. He is in the
engine room to save Others before he
himself attempts to leave. He is
the blue-coated care-taker and guide
for timorous women and children
on our crowded city streets. He is
the hero of the ladder when flames
imperil those who have no shadow
OF claim upon him, except that of
knightly humanity. Not alone in
those public ways does he serve.
He'is the patient toiler on hillside
and in factory. Clad in overalls or
in the height of fashion he is con-
vineed that the test of our modern
knighthood is this-whether he is
doing the thing he is best fitted for
in the way that is best for those
now here and those yet to come.
The knights of old were scattered
sparsely; the knight of to-day is
along every pathway, visible to
those who have eyes to see him.

Hon. W. L. Wilson thinks Admiral
Dewey will blunder out of politics as
suddenly as he blundered in, and
that Col Bryan will be nominated

Western people are showing Ad-
miral Dewey that they love him for
his victories, even if they take no
stock in his petticoat-made polit-
ical ambition.
Teddy says he will retire to Oyster
Bay and put in his entire time think
ing about how he licked Spain before
he will be the tail to the Mckinley
kite. Now will Boss Platt be good.
Gov, Pingree has cut the last cord
that bound him to the republican
party. He says the hope of the peo-
pie is in the success of the democratic
party this year; and he is one of the
people.
Towns are like men. Give them a
