Chinches Are Cinched.

Red Wing, Mimi, May 8.-Farmers
say the pest OF chinch bugs is at an
end now tor many years. During the
dry seasons they had become serl-
Gus menace and threatened to spread
over the entire county. But the rains
last summer were very hard on them,
the wet fall was still worse, and few
are supposed to have survived the
winter. If any did, the wet and cold
spring must have finished them. 1t Is
believed they cost this county not far
from three-quarters of million In the
last three years.

The Rev. Newell D. Hills of
New York in a Sunday sermon,
felt called upon to refer to the
incident at indianapolis, Indiana,
where a young white woman re-
fused to makeup the bed slept
in by Booker Washington. The
Rev. Hills declared that ne would
be delighted to entertain Booker
at his own house and that he
would consider it an honor to
makeup his bed. The country
will be lenient with this New

to as much privilege as the old
woman who kissed the COW.

Gov. Jeff Davis card announ-
cling his candidacy for third
term as governor is about the
most pathetic thing that has been
turned loose within the state for
some time. The governor need
not have signed his name to that
spiel, for every man, woman and
child in Arkansas could swear it
to him at first reading. And the
man with a none too vivid imag-
ination can see the "old guard"
shedding great gobs of tears at
sight of that pathetic and heart
rending appeal.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
Scots Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

Gov. Davis has vetoed even
ninety bills passed by the late

they were not presented to him

Many of the bills included in this

VANDEyENTEp FOB GOVERNOR.

70 the Democracy of Arkansas:
Through the columns of the
public press | announce my cam
didacy for governor. In 1899,
when | entered the race for gov
ernor, / did so with the purest Of
motives and highest intention, !
a bcopted my defeat in the spirit
" a true Democrat, and on invi-
t3tion of the state central COM
niittee made speeches as well As
at points where l was personally
i;agyiteas
VS. as-Governor Davis entered
iu.e ythe duties of his office l re-
f.vahed from any public criticism
Of his record. With other good
citizens, | hoped that he would
make a good governor. Now
that his record is about made up,
/ shall no longer withhold my
criticism. With Governor Davis
and his personal quarrels | have
nothing to do, but Governor
Davis and his official acts are
public property. | shall deal
with his record in no uncertain
one.
Governor Davis now seeks a
third term for vindlcation. If
the time he has been in office has
only made him so suspicious that
vindication is necessary, time
will not last long enough to pur-
ify him. The longer he holds
Office the more vindieation he will
need. The result will be a per-
petual motion office holder. Two
years of office-holding and two
years more for vindication.
The office of governor is the
highest within the gift Of the
people of the state, 1t should
not be used for the purpose Of
spoils nor trailed in the dust to
further senatorial ambitions, nor
debased to crafty personal mall
ice and spleen.
The governor should be ami
fbs6ed by the noble and glorious
purpose of developing the state.
He should seek to dignity and
encourage labor, the mother Of
capital, the foundation of all
progress. He should promote
education, elevate citizenship,
encourage i'm migration. He
should strive to develop industry
for every arm and schools for
every aptitude. To clear the for
ests, dyke the rivers, drain the
swamps, develop industry and
build happy homes, should be
the highest ambition of the gov
ernor of our state. He should
stand for the enforcement Of law,
a bold advocate Of the right.
At the proper time | shall take
the stump and declare myself on
all public questions.
If elected, | shall pray for
strength to do my duty in the
fear of God and in the sight OF
men. Respectfully,
A. +. VANDEVENTER.

ONE GREAT CHURCH.
Moderator Coyle Sees an AmaIgama'
tion of All Presbyterians.

Denver, Sept. 15.-The Rev. DR.. r. F.
Coyle, moderator Of the general as
sembly Of the Presbyterian church,
who has just returned to his home in
this city from a lecture tour Of the
east, believes that the time is not far
distant when the twelve different Pres
byterian churches in the United States
will become one. This probability, he
says, is due to the reconstructing of the
creed Of his denomination which took
place last May. Calvanistic and Ar
menian lines which have Sc long kept
his and the Cumberland Presbyterian
churches separated have now, he says,
been effected and at present no dis
tfnctions other than ceremonial separ-
ate the two great religious orders that
began as one in the days of Cromwell.
Another STEP" said DR.. Coyle, that
our church took at the last general as
sembly in May and one that tends
toward the unity idea is to emphasize
Christian education. With intellectual
development many sordid distinctions
that tend to keep churches separated
will be obliterated. Our church now
has an educational committee and upon
1t has been imposed the duty Of rails
ing - million dollars for educational
purposes. Most of this money will be
spent upon schools in the west, for our
Institutions of learning In the east are
II good shape financially.
