THE LATEST CHARGE.

In keeping track of current
events it becomes this papers
duty to inform a waiting public
that his excellency Hen. .Jeffer-
son Davis, who by the way is
stirred of politics. and not "at
present. a candidate against
Berry for a seat in the United
States senate, has driven his
snout deep into the bowels of
long ago and unearthed what he
deems a serious black speck
against the private character of
Senator James X. Jones.
In a speech at Russellville last
week Gov. Davis, according to
his official and untiring organ,
the Little Rock Gazette, stated
that about thirty years ago Sen.
ator Jones took advantage of the
bankruptcy law and through that
means defrauded creditors of
just debts. The governor also
states that by that means Sena-
tor Jones defrauded two orphan
children and escaped payment of
a board bill.
Now the RECORD does not wish
to be understood as being sur.
prised at Gov. Davis thus accus-
ing Senator Jones. The truth is,
in the light of recent events, the
RECORD would not be surprised
at most anything from Gov.
Davis, and really should not be
amazed if he comes out in his pet
organ with a vigorous contention
that the lower region is nothing
more nor less than an ice manu-.
factory. We are, however, very
much surprised that the people
of Arkansas did not long ago
find out Senator Jones if he is in
truth the sort Of man Gov. Davis
portrays him. And, in this con-
nection, it is not out of place for
this paper to declare, since Gov.
Davis has attacked the private
life of Senator Jones, that it
would prove interesting no doubt
for the public and private records
of Senator James K. Jones and
Gov. jeff Davis to be placed side
by side that the public might
view whatever differences might
exlst. we say SucE a thing
might prove interesting, though
in contests before the people he
who digs into The private life of
an opponent is displaying in
stincts That should be held in su-
preme contempt. To what straits
is the unjust combination against
Senator Jones pressed!
We have no knowledge that
Senator Jones has ever taken ad-
vantage of the bankruptcy law
or that he has not, but we are
most willing to vouch that he has
never wilfully defrauded an hon.
est creditor. The people can see
on what lines Gov. Davis has
pitched his battle against Sena.

There are some questions which
will never be answered to the
satisfaction of the people. One
of them is: If, as Gov. Davis
now says, Senator Jones is a
member of a trust, why did the
governor, when he prepared that
anti trust bill, not insert a clause
including the Senator's trust?

ATTENDING TO DUTY.

w nile UOf. Sidi no 40 SNS ~6
in going over the state making
goo-goo eyes at the American
Cotton Company and republican
speeches, his excellency the Hon.
Jefferson Davis, the party OF the
second part, is busily engaged in
an effort to convince the dear
"peepul" tnat old Jones is a
rascal and that he has had too
much senatorial pie for the good
of the aforesaid dear "peepul. ="
His excellency, the Hon. Jeffer-
son Davis, is governor OF Arkan-
sas, supposed to be, though to
view his present antics, one who
is unacquainted with the tactics
of this party Of the second part
would naturally take him to be
the dictator general and ex.of-
ficio ruler of the commonwealth
of Arkansas. To us, a little
souirrel-headed, unsophiscated,
country editor, it has seemed that
when the people call a statesman
from the ranks of simple civil
ians and place him in the gover-
nor's chair with an exceeding
great thud, the statesman 80 cal
led would have plenty to do it he
attended to the affairs entrusted
to his care in a successful man
ner. But our youthful years and
unripe experiences have led US
astray. We didn't know a darn
thing about the duties of a gov
ernor. Fact of the business is,
this state has never had but one
real, genuine, active governor,
and we natives are waking up to
the fact as rapidly as could be
expected. Such men as Hughes,
Eagle, Fishback, Jones and
others, who have sat in the chief
execu tive's chair in late years,
were just simply pimples on the
jaw-bone of ability and thin soup
in general. Why, what lid those
old flukes do? Nothing at all
but plant themselves in the seat
of honor and attend to a few
minor duties, such as issue par
dons, dictate proclamations, Of
fer rewards, eto. They were all
good men perhaps, but fit to be
governor? No, not a little bit.
1t has remained for our worthy
citizen, the Hon. Jefferson Davis,
to appear as a Moses to the be-
wildered citizens of grand and
glorious Arkansas. He has
shown US what the governor of a
state should do in order to fully
perform his duty. He is not
content with issuing pardons and
attending to a few one-hoss de-
tails of the office, but he goes in
and out among the people and
instructs them as to whom they
should send to the United States
senate, who should compose both
branches Of the state legislature,
in fact, who should fill all the Of
fees within the gift of the people.
He instructs them fully, at
length and in detail. He is the
trust buster and a ring.tail-
tooter. Hurrah for the r.t-tooter.

Makes Money Carrying Meals.

Success tells about an energetic ID
year-old boy named Thomas Mintzer,
IF Conshohocken, Pa, who has learned
how to make money in an unusual way.
About four months ago Tommy called
on the employees Of the different mills
about town, Offering to carry their
meals for Is cents week. AS many Of
the mills are running night and day,
his offer included suppers as well as
dinners. The boys offer was promptly
accepted. AS first he employed a toy
express wagon drawn by a goat. After
ward he got large push cart, which
he fitted lip with shelves. Then he had
to hire a horse and wagon, his custom
ers numbering 1870. Tommy starts out
with the dinners of those who are
farthest away at Ii a. m. He makes
a second delivery at Has, and third
at 1905. His weekly collections aver
age $3.50, and as he pays $3.50 for the
use of the horse and wagon, this leaves
SIS clear. which is more than some OF
the mill hands earn

Roston Men to Establish an Industry on
Large Scale.
Some Boston capitalists propose to
promote frog raising in the bay state
on a scale unprecedented in this conn-
try. An organization has recently
been formed, under the name Of the
Massachusetts Frog Company, and
land has been purchased for carrying
out the company's undertaking. Artifi-
cial ponds, varying in size and con-
nected by series of locks, are being
made for conducting the system OF,
cultivation. They will be lined with
cement, and the smallest will be ten
feet long and three feet ia width. In
these ponds the process Of breeding
will take place, and Il at certain stages
| of development the little creatures will
be transferred to ponds OF greater di-
mansions. At the age OF two years the
animals should reach maturity. The
food required for the frogs is Of an ex-
tremely simple character, and will cost
very little, and it Is expected that ul-
timately the company's Investment
will yield big returns From 10000 to-
10000 frogs will be grown annually,
and If it is deemed advisable the year
" output will be increased to 0,0OO.
While the product will be available for
all the uses to which frogs may be put,
dead or alive, the principal demand is
expected to come from colleges and
medical schools. 1t is averred that in
the past such institutions have,
through their inability to procure de-
sirable specimens of the sort, been
seriously handicapped in the prosecu-
Of experiments in medical research.
Schools in the east, for example, have
frequently been obliged during the
winter months to send to California
for the animals which, upon their ar
rival, have been unfit for analytical
study. The Massachusetts, frog breed
ers intend to remove the cause Of all
this inconvenience by supplying frogs
in abundance the year round.
