ONLY ONE DEMOCRAT.
Presidents Intention as to the
Canal Commission.
Special to News and Courier.

Washington, December IL
President Roosevelt announced
today thai it is his purpose to ap-
point but one Democrat upon
the isthmian canal commission
This announcement was made to
the members Of the Texas dele
cation, who called at the White
House to urge the appointment
OF Governor Sayers. The presi-
dent said he would be glad to
consider Governor Sayers in con-
rec'ion with this appointment, as
he considered the Texas governor
an excellent man for the place,
but be. could not say anything
more than that he would be ono
OF at least five men seriously con.
sidered. The other four are
Senator Harris of Kansas Senator
Jones of Arkansas, former Con-
gressman Joe Washington Of
Nashville, and Henry G Heyster,
q prominent citizen Of New Or
leans. The president says it is
his present purpose to select one
commissioner from the Gulf
States and one from the Pacific
slope. The Texans regard his
announcement of a member from
the Gulf States as being favor
able to Governor Sayers. There
is strong feeling here that the
place may be rendered to Senator
Morgan Of Alabama, who has
been the most prominent figure
Ia promoting canal Legislation,
and it Is believed that if Senator
Morgan would take tho place he
could have it. Senator Morgsn's
friends, however, say that he
p.afera TO remain where he is, as
hIs membership in the senate is
as clearly life position as would
be a mem bsrshIp on the canal
commission.

HEAVY RAINS GENERAL.

Generally hot, dry weather, with south winds, prevailed during the forepart of the week. Heavy general rains began on the evening of the 27th and continued internationally until the close, swelling streams and inundating low lands. These rains were in many instances, accompanied by high winds, which damaged corn somewhat by beating down and tangling. Cotton continues in generally good condition, is laid by in most sections, and, as a rule, is blooming and fruiting well; in some isolated localities it is infested by lice and being damaged by boll- weevil In those localities where corn was suffering for the want of moisture it has been greatly benefited by the recent heavy rains and full crop is now assured in almost all sections Wheat threshing is progressing; while the indications in most sections are favorable for an average yield, in many instances it will be below the average. Oat harvesting is about completed and threshing has begun. Previous estimates as to the yield are practically confirmed. Garden truck and pastures were much benefited by the rains. Fruit conditions remain unchanged.

system of joint political discussions so long in vogue in Arkansas, it seems probable that there will be no depart ure from the custom. A prominent regular Republican is authority for the statement that MT. Myers will be agreeable to a joint speaking tour, and it is likely an effort will soon be made to bring about a series of ap- pointments to cover all the important points in the state, opening the latter part of July.
 "The rivalry between the two Re publican factions gives promise of being exceedingly keen. Each will try to make superior show of strength in September, and it is hinted that the successful side in that respect will enjoy the entree at the White House during the incumbency of President Roosevelt"

 The mayors attention is invited to our contemporary's issue of July 1, wherein the editor is guilty of taking premature shots. The offense is somewhat condoned however in the fact that they were harmless like all other Fourth of July explosives, and then you know, the News editor al- ways fires blanks. But MT.

ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY.
Major General Haynes Defends Re quest For Myers Resignation Says Governor Took No Part and Incidentally Takes a Shot at Enemies of "Jeff''
 In His Own Party.

Maj. General w. H. Haynes has this to say regarding the Jacobson Myers correspondence:
 "I am solely responsible for Col, H.
 H. Myers appointment to the guard.
 It was my duty to create, if prac- ticable, a non-partisan organization, in which the people of Arkansas
 should take pride, hence it was that
 I not only had Col. Myers commits
 stoned, but at the same time I had other eminent republicans, some of
 whom are at present atfiliating with the "insurgent" wing of that party, commissioned and assigned to duty along with democrats on my staff Col Myers, well knowing my per sonal esteem for him, surely it was to
 have been supposed feeling of like regard which he had always man. | ifested for his commanding general would have caused him to tender his resignation prior to his spectacular rehearsal of recent campaign fabrica- tions respecting his superior officer, | the governor and commander-in ! chief, since all of such misleading stories have been spurned and stamped
 upon by very large majority of the l voters of Arkansas.
 No one wishes to bridle Col. Myers | tongue; no one cares what he says, if when he speak as he did at GlenWood l he is no longer an officer of the State Guard, although it is certainly quite another thing when the judge ad- vocate general, albeit he is can- didate, turns loose his vivid imagina
 tion, romantically prolific, as most of
 us know, and goes out of his way to ! borrow (plagiarize some might think
 the romances of others. However the
 colonel did not fail with bis imagery
 or in his high coloring of his little
 story, therefore it was something | better than that originatedin the tales
 of the fabling malcontents of the late
 campaign, which were chen indus
 triously circulated without any effect
 against the acknowledged standard
 bearer of the democratic party of Ar l kansas.
 Gov. Davis knew nothing whatever
 of the demand upon Col. Myers for
 his resignation; that was the act of the adjutant general, amply justified by the military ethics of the situa- tion."

LEFT THIS LEGACY

The following pathetic manuscript was found in the desk of man who died of delirium tremens July 5, 1901 2; "Ah the glorious Fourth is coming
 And the kids are getting gay, Every night the fireworks humming. Make me long for light of day. There's the music of the rocket
 And the candles gastly glare, There's the nickle in my pocket
 Which my son wants me to air o life's weary nightmare
 And I'd lay me down and die, Just to miss for aye and ever
 The dread coming of July. When 1 step on an explosive
 And the thing can't help but bust, Then it is I feel the most; I'd
 Be sorry if l cussed. Then I feel a sort of tremor
 Shake me like a ship at sea, And I'll surely have to scream, or
 The zig is up" with me. Then, oh then, have feeling
 That to death I'd gladly go If it wasn't for the fireworks
 That are waiting down below"
