MR. MACON EXPLAINS HIS
 BRIDGE BILL.

There has been some criticism of Hon. R. Bruce Macon's bridge biIl in the northern part Of the dis. triet, instigated by Hon. Eugene Parrish or his friends, with view 10 preiudioing the voter against Macon. So far as we are concern d, VIC think the criticism un, worthy of notice, as it is really silly. but here Is what Mr. Macon says about his bill:
 Congressman R B. Macon. of Helena. has written q letter 10 an Arkansas friend explanatory of bis bill limiting the toll over the Memphis bridge 10 9 cents. lie says in the letter:
 Upon reading the existing bridge law 1 found that the bridge company was allowed to collect ,uch rates ot toll for crossing it's bridge al Memphis as might be ap. proved from time 10 time by the >ecretary of war. l then found that under tbe authority given him he had seen fl to approve a 5o cent to.l aS the charge for each passenger crossing il. l knew the charge was an unreasonable one.
 nd therefore set about to gel such relief as could for the people tha, | had the honor to represent. The question with me then was. WhaI Ri d of q bill could l get through co gress reducing the toll to some. tn rg like reasonable hEureg So. liter mature consideration and in. ge>tigation of the matter. l con. e.uded 1Al the surest way 10 get the relief sought would be 10 in-
 reduce bull amending the exist
 rg law so that the secretary of war could not approve q higher rate of toll h D D ee8ts for each passage oYor the bridge. Nv amendment he law beglns with
 Ee word provided and continues
 lhe end of the bill. All of the biil down 10 the proviso Is the Ian. guags of the law as Il exist now. Thus, you see my amendment es not give additional power or force 10 the existing law. nor does l' n any wise add 10 it's lease of life In word, the only change hat il seeks 10 make m the law IS stands IS 10 say 10 the secretary ot War that he shall not approve a greater toll than the sum of Q eeH.s fer eseh ssstrger that sees z 10 eros 'oreed Lo

CHRISTMAS.

To day youth and age throw aside the conditions that environ their years, and meet on common grounds of happiness; the one stir red with eager interest in the pres. ent, the other enveloped in tender "reminiscences which memory has held sacred from tho dim forgetful ness that the mellowing hand of time lays on human recollection.
 In every cllme, beneath every sky, wherever the sun falls acros> Christian home, or lights q Chris iian hearth, the simple narrative Of Christs Iowly birth will be the theme of anthem and of story, $ touching message of divine love and human pathos, ever new and ever old.
 Since first the angelic choir sang Glad lidings of great joy" 10 the humble shepherds beyond the gates of Bethlehem, it's echo has been caught from the eternal hills of au- eient Egypt and carred by the tongues Of men 10 countless sue ceeding generations, that "to Is raol has been born Klpg."
 He who dwells in the remote ends of the earth, far from the maddening throng, with God and nature and himself alone, or who follows hfe's devious way in the populated centers of human activi. Y. has whispered to him by the breath and spirit Of the times the same tender, hopeful words that stirred 10 life slumbering nature on that first Xmas morning ''0n earth peace, good will toward men"
 Twenty centuries have slowl, progressed and passed to the be yond, still that star of Bethlehem points the way and lights the foot. steps of millions ct Christians 10 the crlb where Christ was born and a world made new.

JUDGE WOOD WAS HELD.

Governor Davls has published I card giving a oLe.sided account of his cowardly attack upon Judge Wood at Hope, in which he says that any statement 10 the effect that Judge Bourland held Judge Wood while he Che governor struck him is wholly false.
 This is the governors naked word. Now read the affidavit of Sheriff James L. White, which fol. lows:
 "Hope, Ark Dec. 20.
 'I will state l was at the opera house and heard the speaking of the candidates for governor on tbe 18th, Governor Davis spoke first, and in his talk called Judge Wood traitor. Judge Wood interrupt. ed and advanced on Governor Da- wis and told him not to use that language. Governor Davis re. treated 10 where his gold headed cane was and picked il up, when Mr ;. F. Ward and Judge Bour- land came between them. and Judge Wood remarked: Very well, sir, l will see you later.'
 Then Governor Davis proceeded with his speech until he had clos i ed. As he started to leave The speakers stand Judge Wood arose and asked him 10 remain. That Is all l heard of the conversation. The parties on the stage began 10 mix around. 1 saw there was go- ing 10 be trouble and I went a. qutetly as l could from the lower floor to the stage. I saw Gov. Da- wis jerk hls walking cane from Senator T. c. lobe. Then Judge Wood made toward him and shov. ed Judge Bourland out of the way. Bourlaud then clinched Juige Wood from behind and pinIoned hls arms in his grasp. MT. Ward was also by the side of Judge Wood, having hold of his arm. Davis then struck Judge Wood over the head and shoulders of Mir. Ward, hitting Judge Wood twice, once on the head and once on the cheek. l think he struck three blows, but only two took effect. The blows were all struck before l could reach the parties. About the time l arrived Judge Wood made q luuge, freeing him. selt from Bourland and Ward. and grabbed the stick from Davis ana made al him and struck him one blow, which Davis warded of with his arm. Gov. Davis was being pressed by Judge Wood back be hind the screen when my deputy. A. D. Monroe, grabbed Judge Wood from behind and pulled him away from Davis and prevented him from striking any more.
