A CORRECTION.

Mr.. Editor: Please allow me space
in your valuable paper to correct
some errors that appeared under the
heading of Augusta Depot" That
the writer is stranger to the
country surrounding Augusta is
shown when he says the Augusta
depot q miles and directly opposite.
think he must have visited that
place two years ago when the mile
posts were all under water, as they
are plainly marked 21a miles.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the truth hurts
and "a drowning man will catch at
straws. This bridge tax question Is
for the purpose Of deceiving persons
who are not familiar with the loca-
tiOn Of Dixie and the Augusta depot.
Dixie is pc miles ABOVE Augusta,
three-fourths of a mile from Leaf
river, beautifully located on a fine
creek of running water and if the
court house is voted here the site
will be given free and the board
of supervisors will have the privilege
of selecting the location. The law IN
regard to loo atlons says only ma
jority vote is required if leading
towards the center of the county.
However we will let that matter take
care of itself.
Now the McSwain old place or
Augusta Depot is 21a miles below
Augusta and about one mile from
Leaf river. l am competent judge

carrying my children to school at
that place.
Hoping this explanation is suffi-
cient for persons unacquainted with
the two locations, and fearing that
will weary your patience, | am

CoMMoN-sENsE VIEW.

There has been a great hue and cry
about the mistreatment of the negro
in the south, some contending that
he is better treated in the north. A
northern negro who halls from
Chicago, writing to the Chicago
Chronicle from San Antonio, Texas.
comes about as near telling the
truth in the following as negro can:
LAS citizen of Chicago and the
state of Illinois, ! have read with
much interest of the attack of some
of the white citizens upon people of
my race at Eldorado.
| have resided in the north for
fifteen years, and it. comes as shock
ing surprise to me that the citizens
of any community in the great state
of Illinois would vent their spleen
against an institution of learning and
the church of the cOlOred people.
This is the unkindest blow of all,
coming from the state of Illinois,
the home of Lincoln, Yates, Oglesby,
and Palmer.
Here and in many parts of th
south find conditions reversed. The
Institutions of learning and the
pulpit of our race is respected and
protected. AS a result, Booker Il.
Washington has built up the greatest
institution of it's kind in the world.
After careful study OF the negro
problem in both the north and south
I am thoroughly convinced that the
south offers the negro the best oppor-
tunities for advancement.
If the negroes IN the south would
take up the cue given them by
Booker t. Washington, eschew poll
tics, and devote themselves to an in
dustrial pursuit. the race would be
benefited and a greater progress
would be made. Political tricksters
have long used the negro, much like
the monkey used the catspaw-to
get chestnuts out of the fire."

DOG GONE

Sam Reynolds, up to yesterday,
had dog that was dog right, so
far as size went. He was the largest
dog in the city-a great big, shaggy
tailed fellow-and was always found
on the sidewalk where people had to
walk around him, for no one cared
to attempt to walk over him. He
was so large that he could lean up by
the side of a man of ordinary size
and push him over. In fact he was
in the way at nearly all times in the
central part of the city.
Somehow however last night
took dislike to the dog and sent
him to dog heaven at the first fire
and this morning his great frame
was hauled away.

CATCHINGS SOLICITED
To Enter the Race for Governor,
But Perhaps VIII Decline.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Oct. 3.-Much interest is
being manifested in political circles
at the capital in the effort to induce
General Thomas G.. Catchings to
enter the race for governor next
year, and many fiattering assurances
are given that he would receive a
warm support. 1t is not believed
here, however, that Gen. Catchings
would care to give up the more lucra
tive position of district counsel for
Southern Railway for gubernatorial
honors, and it will require much
persuasion to induce him to change
his mind from the declaration made
after leaving congress that he was
out of politics for good.

Editor of Batesville Bee:

ment made by Gov. Davis that
Senator Jones only served a
month in the confederate army.
I deem it my duty to an old COM
rade to state that served with
James X. Jones in Co. A Third
Ark. Cavalry for IA months, then
Senator Jones was discharged at
Corinth on account of sickness.
Capt. Holmes was captain OF our

manded the regiment. Theresis a

TEXAS NOBILITY.

Charles S. Todd has withdrawn
from the race for congress in the
First Texas district because his
opponent, Jadge John l.. shepp'
erd, the present incumbent, is SICK
in Washington. In withdrawing
he saws: SIT is utterly repugn-
ant to my sense of. propriety and
delicacy to make a canvas in the
face of Judge Shepherds condi-
ton. The universal sympathy OF
she people, in which Il sincerely
share, would render it distastetul
to their minds to consider the
solicitations of any candidate,
however deserving, while his op-
ppnent, a good man and worthy
public servant, lay ill and strug'
Cling for life." From this 1t
would seem that Texas politicians
have higher sense of honor than
some of our Arkansas statesmen,
who are engaged in all kinds OF
underhanded work, and try to
make the people believe that
anything is fair in politics.
