RIGHTS OF CATTLE RAISERS
Lawyer Greene Would Like to See
settlement of Much MOOted
Question.

G. ]. Greene has returned from Washing
ton. where he went to present questions
relating to the alleged illegal fencing of
government land to the Interior depart
ment.
80 far as 1 know" said he, "tbe matter
is in statu quo, pending the action of the
department. What we want is to have a
judicial decision OF the question and not SO
much agitation. There are laws governing
the entry of land by the widows and or
phans Of soldiers. AS we understand the
laws they give these parties the right to
make entries and to secure patents without
the entrymen' residing upon the lands en-
tered, and that from the time they make
entry until they come to make final proof
they have the right to deal with the land as
they see At. TIL department places another
construction upon the law, and the cattle
men either have a right to occupy the land
as lessees of the entrymen or they do not.
II they have no right to the land they can
be ousted by proceedings in the federal
courts, and such proceedings will determine
for all time the correct construction of the
laws. We desire the United States to bring
action to dispossess the cattlemen or cancel
the entries, so that the question can be de-
termined, but there seems to be a DISPOSE
tion on the part of some Of the government
officials to institute criminal proceedings
which in their very nature can determine
nothing"

the Arkansas Democrat is print
ing 5000 extra copies daily and
sending them out in Rector's in
terest. "Deny it and I'll prove
it," he loudly declaimed. In re-
Div the Democrat emphatically
denies the charge and, further
than that, has deposited in the
National Exchange Bank of Lit
tie Rock the sum Of S100 to be
delivered to any charitable cause
in the city the moment the gov
ernor proves that it has ever sent
out single extra copy for Col,
Rector. The Democrat also gives
out the amusing information
amusing in connection with Gov
Davis charge-that Col. Rector
is not even a subscriber to that
paper. The Democrat has made
Gov. Davis a fair proposition, and

j. H. Myers of Black Rock,
who has done much towards fur
thering the pearl interests in this
section of Arkansas, and who is
a candidate for representative of
Lawrence county, says the pearl
and shell industry should have
legal protection. He makes the
very reasonable claim that the
people who pay the taxes should
have the benefit Of this industry
and that citizens outside of Ar
kansas should not be allowed to
to come in and dredge the rivers.

GOV. jeff Davis by his unpre-
cadonted conduct has not render
ed himself unpopular with Sharp
county people alone. The fol-
owing is clipped from a Mont

state;
Mr.. W. D, Sandlin, our sheriff
and ex-offcio tax collector, re-
ports the result Of his work in col
iecting taxes during the first week
Of his tour as the best ever known
in the history Of the county, the
aggregate of state and county
revenue amounting to 81, also.
During the week he found but
one Davis man and mary"

ally infer that our voters are be-
ginning to regard both Davis and
Clarke as minus quantities.

The joint canvas between Gov
Jeff Davis and Hon. E. W. Rec
tor opened at Hot Springs last
week. Gov. Davis address was
along the lines he has used here
tofore, and he did not fail to bring
in the customary attack on SEN
ator Jones. 1t is evident he is
fulfilling his part Of the combine
with Gov. Clarke to the letter.
Col. Rector attacked Gov. Davis
record in a vigorous manner, ex-
planned his position on matters of
public concern, and declared he
would not be drawn into the sen
atorial fight. If press reports,
and the statements OF citizens
through the press, count for any
thing at all, Gov, Davis has rem
dered himself unpopular in all
