GOVERNOR JONES SAYS DlSREPUTABEE MEN GAN NOT ADVANCE THE
 STATES INTEREST. HIS CARD OF WITHDRAWAL
Says He Has Already Been Hon ored Beyond His Deserts---
 Asks for Nothing More,

The Graphic last Friday exela sively announced the withdrawal of Gov Dan N. Jones from the race for United States Senator His card of withdrawal reads as follows:
 Ut Las been apparent 10 me, since the result of the primaries held on the 10th inst. became known thatI am not the choice of the people for this place, and l have made no effort since that time to prosecute my candidacy. l am unwilling to tax my friends with solieitude for me any longer, and 1 therefore withdraw from the contest. am truly grateful to those who have favored my asplra- tions and IhaYe no i'll feeling for those who have opposed me. 1 do not know that shall ever again aspire to public office, but I shall always feel deep interest in the welfare Of my state and the success of Democratic prineip ples.Z
 During the time of my serviee as governor of Arkansas l have witnessed a wonderful growth in the development of the states re- sources. trust that nothing shall occur 10 retard this. Whether there shall or not depends upon the people If the state. l feel author- ized to admonish them that their future progress and prosperity de- pend largely upon the kind of mer they shall choose to administer their state government. AS water cannot rise above it's source, So a government cannot rise above the intelligence and virtue of those who administer it's affairs. Demagogaes and disreputaole men may deceive the majority of the people for a while, but they cannot induce the expenditure Of capital in the state or advance the states material in. terests. They can do more harm in one term of office than wise nen can undo in a decade.
 As citizen Of the state, born close to it's borders, reared in it from my very early infancy, with DO wish to leave it, and with all that baYe, either in possession or expec taney. subject to it's sovereignty, l am as much interested in this nat. ter as anyone else can be, and earnestly pray that in it our people will act with careful circumspection and wisdom, and not be led if to an error from which grievous 'conse. quenees will surely follow. am well ntented to fl private sta ton and share the common lot of the private citizen. l have already been honored beyond my deserts I ask for nothing more along the liue of civlc promotion. only ask for what will benefit my stase and all its people as well as mean honest governmen [, administered by hon est, honorable and capabIs men, aud not by those whose chief qaali6ca- tions is the capacity to Yillify other aud much better men.
 With every wish for the prosperi ty of my state and the happiness and welfare of her people, 1 am, respect f,,ifD n,NH N To.riFe

About the iercest competition that
local dealers have is the big department
stores in the cities. Even village the
size of Bolivar sends thousands of dol
lars every year TO Chicago and New
York for goods that might be pcrchased
Just as chcaply at home, though III all
fairness it must be admitted that the
advertisements of the department stores
are so well written, and the temptation
to buy so alluring that it can't be re-
sisted Without the aid of the news
papers these department stores would
not be known outside of the cities in
which they are located. There is a
pointer here for local merchants; news
paper advertising was never more of a
necessity than it is today. 1t is not a
luxury, but as much Legitimate
expense as fire insurance or clerk hire
The merchant who has goods to sell
must keep the fact before the people il
he doesn't want to be lost sight of in the
race for customers. Competition is be.
coming keener every day. The old.
fashioned methods have been laid on the
shelf In another decade the Local

of the publicity offered by the local
newspaper will not be in business, and

The boys of Mrs. Williamson's Sunday
school class gave their entertainment to
help in securing money to repaint the
church, as announced, at the town hall
Friday evening, the weather being fine
and the attendance large. In preparation
therefor, they had sent out invitations
upon the unique plan of asking from
each one a gift Of as many cents as
would be indicated by adding the num-
Der of the month and the number Of the
day of the month upon which he was
born. One generous absentee, who
wished to give five dollars, made out
that his birthday was in the eleventh
month and on the 4S9th day of the
month An elaborate an excellent pro-
gram of rectations, declamations, piano
and vocal music, the participants being
boys, was provided, and many of the
numbers were encored. As no poet had
arisen among them, an admirable poem
describing the purpose of the gathering
and entitled "The Battle of Peace, was
secured from Mrs. j. G. lIoughton. The
writer thinks that every boy in the class
who was present had part in the pro.
gram, or the pop corn booth, or the
studio, or in serving the supper. Well,
the boys set out 10 get more money than
the girls and they did, the net receipts
being about S65, but as the poem put it

About a coat of paint"

ments for an interview with Admiral

admiral's disposal several days ago, in
formed him that II could arrange so he
would travel through Ohio and Indiana

MINING AND GRAZING
LEASES ARE OPPOSED.
Land Commissioner Reports Against
Lenses of Nome Beach ana Of
Public Lands for Any Purpose.

WASHINGTON, April s.-several bills
which have been introduced in congress
have been referred to Commissioner Her
mann. Of the general land Office, for his
Judgment as to their merits. one OF these
provides that exclusive leases for mining
purposes may he granted TO lands within
the territory Of the United States which
lie below high water mark. 1t is proposed
to grant leases. upon condition that a bond
OF 5000 be given to insure proper fulfill
ment OF the agreement.
Commissioner Hermann reports sd-
versely on this bill for the reason that,
while Cape Nome is not specifically men
toned In fl, the evident intention is 10
make II apply there. 1t is held to be con-
trary to the policy OF the United States
government to grant exclusive leases of
this character to gold fields, and the pro-
viso in regard to $500 bond would oper-
ate to exclude poor miners from securing
grants
Another bill upon which adverse report
is made provides for leasing public lands
in the arid regions for grazing purposes
Adverse report also has been made upon
a similar bill. of a more general and far
reaching nature. which provides for leas-
ing any available public lands for grazing.
The commissioner says that the courts
have held such action to be contrary to
the custom of A hundred years, which per-
mits the free use Of such lands by any one.
and says that, in his judgment, the time
has not come TO overturn this policy.
