FACTORIES.

Our second, is Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Busi- ness League or some such associa- non, whose business it would be, through their secretary, to reach ut after factories and offer such
 judgements as the particular en- .erprise warranted. The princi- pie is probably at fault, but owing to the fact that other towns offer bonuses for factories, it behooves Forrest City to do likewise. There should be the -greatest care exercised Tn such q matter, and Q bonus only given to solvent con. cern winch means business and which gives promise of becoming | prominent factor in the upbulld- ing and progress of Forrest City. We do not want concerns here which are already " busted. " We wouldn't have them if we could get them, and we are not gong to pay any bonus for them. But if we can get CAPITAL to come nerc, we say let it be done--let any reasonable bonus be paid and all reasonable concessions made. Let our motto be anything to get factories, <" Yes, the "bonus |" ldea is alright fit is given and taken in good faith and not abused, and we are in favor of organizing so that " bonuses may be forth coming and available when needed, and offered when opportunity pre- Sents itself.
The Forrest City times., 1900-02-09

Several persons have been in Forrest City recently seeking To- 'ation for wood-w orking factories. 1t least two of these concerns sent their representatives to ask a bonus. The first wanted $500, sredit at the Bank, and few other ihings-which it wont get. The other asked no stipulated bonus, put asked, What would we give md exempt them from taxation now long?" This latter concern 'laims that their plant will employ 100 persons. This is worth the closest investigation and most lib. sral encouragement. Many of our we'll to-do citizens, however, are opposed to the bonus t" plan of ecuring factories. So are we un- less they are worth it.

A supporter of Mr.. Williams tells
Us that that gentleman "has devel-
oped the lumber trade" That's con-
coded. No one should detract from
the reputation of the gentleman
as q promoter of the lumber bust
ness. He should be permitted to
further develop the lumber inter
ests. He can do great deal more
in that line than he could possibly
accomplish as a law-giver. Saving
lumber is one thing and legislating
for the people is another. Mr.. Will
liams is no doubt a very respecta-
BILE gentleman who knows all about
lumber, but the people of the third
district are not looking just now
for a Congressman to run saw
mill. 1t is a serious mistake to be-
lieve that because a man has made
money selling lumber he should be
sent to Congress.

THE .SOUZH'S PERIL.

No one viii! accuse Elk Senator
D. B. Hill, of New York, of talking
through his hat. In his speech at
Madison Square this distinguish ed
Democrat uttered significant words
which the men of the South will do
we'll to heed. We ask those of
who may have been induced
to vote for Williams to read the fol-
lowing warning of Senator Hill to
Southern Democrats:
"Our National victory would not
be complete without the election of
a Democratic house Of representa-
tives. 1t is the house, which con-
trolls the purse of the Nation, as all
revenue measures must originate
there.
''Let me warn Democrats of the
danger which confronts them. A
Republican president ami a Repub
lican congress mean the enactment
of another odious Federal election
law, otherwise known as Force
Bill The unfortunate complica
tons in kentucky will be made the
pretext for the necessity of such a
measure at this time. This would
be followed by a reduction of the
Southern representation in con-
gress. which is to be fixed and ap
portioned by the next congress-
Such a reduction will be attempted
to be justified on the flimsy plea
that the colored vote is suppressed
in the Southern States, and such
reduction would proPortionately
decrease :he number of electoral
votes in those States, as the cleo
toral v,.tes are based upon the con-
gressional representation. This is
the Republican scheme to intrench
themselves in power for years to
come. The Republican leaders
dare not deny the existence of such
an intention. The danger presented
to all Democrats is greater than
mere questions of finance or money;
it involves the integrity and ex-
istence of one party Organization"

One of the most unpleasant incidents of
Mr.. Bryan's campaign tour OF four years
ago was the disturbance made by Yale
students during his visit to New Haven. Mr..
Bryan is to visit New Haven again. In
order to prevent any recurrence of the un-
pleasantness, a number of the students
signed an appeal to ali of the undergradu-
ates to desist from interruptions while Mr..
Bryan is speaking. Better police arrange
ments have also been made.-(Savannah
News.) Better police arrangements would
Jail the hoodlum students whenever they try

pitiful to see petitions being circulated

The genteel tough is one of the
products of the present civilization.
The plain tough is jailed whenever
he becomes obnoxious and in this
way he is summarily suppressed.
but the gentleman tough" is pur-
suaded to be good. He is an un
mixed evil. He has too much in
fluencc aud money to be Locked up,
and he imagines himself privileged
TO annoy other people. 1t mat
tiers not how disgraceful his be-
havinr may be, he is the pampered
child Of the American aristocracy
and he is . sort Of hero i'm the eyes
OF society. The gentleman of the
old school il too dull and uninter-
eating Tor up-to-date society.

RO(SEYExT rs. ROOSE-

Roosevelt has evidently realized
that he has been talking too much.
He 10 now engaged in denying state
ments of which he Is unquestionably
the author. He has found out that
he needs . few Democratic votes in
his business and he denies that ne
called Democrats traitors and COW
ards. His denial, however, will
amount to very little in the face "f
the many stenographic reports of
his speech published in Republican
papers. He has also seen fit TO
deny that he ever shot . Spaniard
while the latter was running for
dear life. Roosevelt has no doubt
been told that 4 brave man does not
shoot at q fleeing foe and then gloat
over the murder and he 10 trying to
crawl out of the hole into which he
has been placed by his own inor-
dinate vanity. But he has been
confronted with these words which
he wrote and published over his
signature. He said:
~ was with Henry Bardshar, running up
at the double, and two Spsniards leaPed
yards away. As they turned to run closed
in and fired twice, missing the first and
killing the second.'
Roosevelt then boasts of this
ssunique feat" This il perhaps the
FIRST time that 4 soldier ha. claimed
the credit-if credit it be-of STAY
ing an adversary. Surely it 10 the
first case in the history of war
where a regimental officer has
boosted of killing. a soldier by
shooting him in the back. In the
excitement of battle one may be
justified in doing what Roosevelt
did, but we dare say there is not a
brave SURVIVOR of the gallant legions
of Lee or Grant who will applaud
that spirit of bloodthirstiness or
morbid vanity which impelled the
Rough Rider to parade himself rs
the slayer of fellow being.
The question IS: did Roosevelt
tell the truth when he wrote about
this heroic I) act or is speaking
the truth now. Commenting on his
denial of the story The Baltimore
Sun says:
1--WE welcome the friends and admirers Of
Governor Roosevelt to their choice of hypo-
theses. They may take either horn of the
dilemma. Colonel Roosevelt tells the story
himself. 1t must be either true or false a
he tells it. He either killed the Spaniards
as he describes, or he did not. Those who
propose to vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt,
may, therefore, believe. if they prefer,
| their hero to have been guilty of an act
such as all men would regret, most men be
ashamed of and no brave man would ever
boast Of. or, if they like. they can acqui'
him of the sin of cowardly blood outlines
by conceding him to be guilty Of falsely
boasting of something he never did and an
act of which no brave man would care to
speak. In either case we do not envy the
feeling of that man, be he soldier, civilian
or only plain Christian, who, with these
facts before him, can vote to make Theodore
Roosevelt Vice President and possibly, Ptesi.
dent of the United States. 1t is scarcely Z
vote which auy right thinking man will ever
be able to recall without u secret sense Of
shame.''

DEATH or AM/OR i
AEARSkY

l>OO10100b000s VINO sOVS tOeuH race
and their State, may we'll mourn
the death Of Major Hearsey. the
br,ilis MT Journalist. After the Civ
II war it was first his inspired pen
which sowed the seed of hope in
the bosoms of the white men of
Louisiana and to him more than to
anyone else il due the credit of
Wrestling this fair State from the
pollut,nR grasp of the scallawags
and carpet-baggers. Federal bay.
onets and Federal dungeons had
no terrors for this dashing expo.
nent of States rights. When
weaker spirits cowed before the
military despots who had invaded
his beloved Southland thi. bold
and fearless leader was not in the
least overawed. In words Of burn
ing eioQuence he appealed to the
manhood of the State to throw off
the shackles of reconstruction and
paved the way for Caucasian rule.
Ii his fame rested alone upon the
part he played in that awful drama
it were more enduring than storied
urn or animated bust. Mayor
Hearsey was pre-eminently one Of
the great men of the reconstruction
era, for no one did more to restore
the government of the State to its
rightful owners.
Preceding the war Major Hearsey
was q champion of States rights
aud was one of the first to take up
arms for the defense of that princi-
pie. Not long after he had sheathed
his sword he took up the mightieE
weapon which he welded with char
acteristic courage aud ability, con-
tributing largely in Kidding the
State of the accursed domination of
white and black scoundrels. And
he waged relentless warfare agains,
the whole brood until every one OF
them had been driven from power.
Let every Louisianian whose head
has not been turned by the ElamoI
of imperialism aud dreams OF
oriental splendor, stop just long
enough to place flower on the bier
of the departed journalist. He was
a true friend of the South; a States
rights Democrat of the Calhoun
school; a soldier who followed the
stars and bars until it went down IL
everlasting glory at Appomattox;
and last but not least, Lou,sianlan
who fought for white supremacy
with Nichols, Wilt, DeBlanc,
DeClOuet and others.

In a recent issue the NeaU England
Homestead devotes part of it's space
in expatiating on the pitness of Chas.
A. Prouty of Newport to svere the
state as United States senator. The
Homestead says that, "Vermont
knows by sad experience what it is to
be dominated by railroad ring, and
her voters can appreciate the very
great danger that now threatens the
country in general, as well as Yer
mont in particular, Mr.. ProuJy's ex-
perience qualities him to perform
far greater service in the U. S. senate
for the whole people than it would be
possible for any other man to do,
and it is gratifying to know that the
farmers of Vermont are disposed to do
all they can to send Mr.. Prouty to the
senate" This will be very amusing
to Vermont farmers who know Mr..
Prouty as one of the leading railroad
lawyers in Vermont, and who under
stand that his strongest support in
the state is from DIR. Webb, and other
railroad men. The farmers have
learned that when there is any special
legislation needed for their relief they
will find in Congressman GrOut most
Interested and efficient champion, and
it is he who will receive, their strong
est support in the coming senatorial
Contest.
