The Salem Banner says it is
for Jeff Davis for governor. The
Banner is one of those papers
which up to a very few months
ago opposed Davis, and gave
many good reasons for its oppo-
sition to him too. George Treva-
than is welcome 10 all the praise
and glory his sudden change may
brisg him.
His virtual declaration that the
only qualification Jeff Davis
possesses for a second term is his
advocacy of Gov. Clarke's cause
must be a source of much amuse-
ment among his constant read
ers.
Sharp County record., 1902-02-14

To sum it all up: The supreme
court is rotten; the senate is rot
ten; the lower house is rotten
the penitentiary mana cement is
rotten; the asylum management
is rotten: Senator Jones is rotten /;
the newspapers are rotten; and |,
Jeff Davis, am the only decent

Wouldn't it be interesting to
hear Gov. Jeff Davis read off a
list of papers in the state which
are subsidized, dirty, rotten and
mean? You would find that all
papers which oppose him are in
this class, and all on his side are
the clean stuff, the Salem Banner

Refused to Aid Campaign

that Ex-Gov. James P. Clarke,
as national committeeman from
Arkansas, refused to aid the
campaign committee which was
soliciting funds to use in the last
national campaign, either with
money, time, or any other way

Here they are:
CLARKE TURNED A DEAF EAR.
"Ottumwa, Ia, jan, 6, 1902.
"There we're three of US sent to
Arkansas to solicit funds for the
national committee, Hon. E. c.
French, A. F. Krapfel and my
self. Before leaving st. Louis,
we divided the state north OF Lit
tie Rock, Mr.. French going down
the west side of the state, Mr..
Krapfel the east, and | went down
the Iron Mountain road. We
agreed to meet in your city at a
given time, there to arrange a
route for each in the southern
part of the state. Mr.. Lrapfel
was the first to get to Little Rock,
Mr.. French next, and myself last.
Mr.. Krapfel had canvassed quite
a little before Mr.. French and |
got there. He met with a very
cool reception from Ex-Governor
Clarke, so he informed me, as did
Mr.. French, who interviewed the
ex- governor with Mr.. Krapfel
after he got there. Mr.. French
met with about the same frost
as was given Mr.. Krapfel. After
| got there all three of US called
on Ex-Governor Clarke. He
treated me very courteously-l
having met him during my visit
to your city in June, '96, but our
mission was fruitless. He would
neither contribute himself nor as
sist us in any way. We tried to
enlist his sympathy in the work,
to have him send US 10 the prop
or parties to help US, etc., to all
of which he tunnel a deaf ear,
and lent us not a ray of encour-
agement. We understood he was
hostile to the ticket, ard espec-
tally so toward Senator Jones.

Hon. E. F. French and A. f.

PARTY HAD RUINED ITSELF.


Joplin, Mo-, jan, IA, 1902.
"During the summer and fall
of 1900 I solicited funds for the
natl 1nal Democratic committee in
Missouri and Arkansas, and on
my arrival in Little Rock called
on Ex-Governor Clarke for the
purpose of a personal subscrip-
ton from him and advice in re-
gard to the best course to pursue
in raising funds. He blunt'y
told me he would give nothing to
help elect Bryan-that he knew
of no one who would likely give
anything-that he was disgusted
with the whole thing-that the
party had ruined itself at Kansas
City--that Senator Jones did not
know anything about running
the campaign, and a few more
uncomplimenlary remarks that
cannot now recall. On the ar
rival of E. G. French at Little
Rock told him of my treatment
by tie national committeeman
from Arkansas. He also inter-
viewed him. We remarked at
the time that if our party was de-
feated it would be caused by
prominent so-called Democrats
like Ex-Governor Clarke, and
their influence with the business
men of the country. Yours

1DITOR ARGUS
In of the fact that Wayne has
two members in the legislature of
North Carolina, and, realizing that
there are always matters of vital inn.
portance to the agricultural interest
of our people for disposition by that
honorable body, we feel that the far
mers Of Wayne county should always
demand through principles of exact
Justice and fair representation one of
these members, I therefore beg the
indulgence of your readers to present
the name of a gentleman for their
consideration as a representative in
the next General Assembly of North
Carolina. He whom I name is of
the "manor born'' and Gloves his ma
tive heath" He has all of the quail
ties to make for us a worthy and
desirable representative.
In the first place, he is a farmer,
and a successful one, too, who is IA
miliar with all the ills that the far
mer is heir to. He knows the
practical legislation so much now
needed to promote and sustain the
agricultural interest of our state, and
no n will guard and protect it more
diligently than he. A desirable fea-
ture of his composition is that he is
not dominated by narrow ideas, but
is broad and liberal in viewing mat
tiers of public interest. He is ener-
getic and progressive and all inter
ests involving the development OF
our great State will find in him a
ready and earnestsupporter. Further
more, he is well known to the De-
mocracy of Wayne county, having
made for us a popular and efficient
treasurer. Feeling as / do that he
would make us a competent, fearless
and honorable representative, it, my
pleasure to present the name of A.
7. UzzelI to the Democracy Of Wayne
County as a suitable candidate for a
seat in the next General Assembly OF
North Carolina. Respectfully,

eral handsome cottages on George

There are a number of other resi-

contracts have already been made.
Just a short time ago there was
not a house of any size for rent il
the city. This revelation of facts lee
to the erection of many new build

while there a piece Of glass as round

the assertion that the round piece OF

place from which it came out.
The story seemed strange and in

asked for the proof. On a recent

A company has been formed in Co
penhagen for the construction of
trial steamship of a new type. The
inventor is Capt. F. G. Ishoy, who
has taken out patents in the princi-
pal countries. In this new form of
steamer, the screw is placed under
the bottom instead of aft. The hull
is materially changed in form, being
t1atter and the ships draft thereby
considerably lessened. 1t is claimed
that saving in the consumption of
coal of about 20 per cent will be eff
tected. The inventor believes that
with the same amount of fuel the
speed will be greatly increased, and,
finally, that this form of craft will
be much steadier and more sea.

the matter.

COWS was drunk last night. What did
yer give them to eat?"
They couldn't be drunk, Doc" said
the boss keeper, "'cuz there amt any
thin in this here stockfarm ter make
man nor beast drunk. All them COWS
has had out of the usual feed this
week is wagon-load of apples that
was dumped in the field on Sunday
'Well, I'm clear dinged,'' said the
Binghamton man. 81 hearn tell on
thing like this happenin' once afore,
but I.never see it myself. Say, dyer
know what was the matter of them
cows? Well, they was drunk from
them apples.
Now, see here. Them COWS has
two stomachs, and when you gave 'em
them apples they just loaded up the
second stomach, where they stores
things, like all ruminants does, with
apples. They kept them there till
they fermented and then they all got
drunk. That's just what was the mat
ter of them cows"
The logic of this explanation ap-
pealed to the local veterinaries, and
they agreed as to the cause of the jag.
Undoubtedly this explanation is the
correct one, as the cows have been all
right ever since.-New York Sun.
