A Case Of Imposition,
From the Batesylle Guard.

From the Batesyllle Guard.
Gov, Davis attempts to dispose OF the
johnson pardon case with the simple
declaration that he was imposed upon.
If this be true, no comment more severe
could possibly be made upon the abuse
of the pardoning power that made this
possible This could result only from
a system that makes the granting Of
pardons II matter Of personal and polit-
ical favoritism, rather than n subject
for close investigation and the exercise
Of u wise discretion, with nothing but
the public good IN view ID fact, when
Gov, Davis pleads imposition In this
affair he coufessesa weakness altogether
discrediWble TO him, II is easily possible
for governor 70 place himself above
such dangers, If he appreciate his posi-
tion and be disposed to do so,
II, as we have had occasion to say be-
fore, Gov, Davis were really imposed
upon in this discreditable affair, he has
had no difficulty In restraining his IN
dignatian thereat The man James
who helped to perpetrate the imposition
upon him is still member Of the Board
Of State Charities and likewise, n mem.

II the Governor has ever manifested his

their stock stolen and driven TO
Kansas. Many of them who. at
the outbreak of the war, counted
their stock of horses and cattle
by the thousands, could barely
raise Il pony to 90 home on. Their
country was now in possession of
the Federals and Pins, and they
were therefore compelled to re-
main as refugees in the ChOctaw
nation and keep up Quasi,military
organization until after the meet.
( ing ofthe United States commits
sioners and Southern tribes of
Indians at Fort Smith in June,
1865, when peace was declared.
The Indian Territory division
of the United Confederate Veter,
ans is made up of five civilized
tribes, namely, the Choctaws,
Chickasaws, Seminoles, Creeks
and Cherokees, aud from Con-
federate soldiers of the Caucasian
race who have come TO the Indian
Territory from all parts of the
South. There are four brigades
known as the Choctaw, Cherokee,
Chlckasaw and Creek, respective.
ly.
Each ofthe tribes has a separate
government of its own, and the
only connection with the Union is
by treaty.
When the war cloud burst over
the Southland the Choctaws and
Chickasaws cast their lot with the
COnfederacy, as allies. The Chero-
KEGS, the Greeks and the Semin.
oles were divided in their scnti-
ments, large number going over
to the Northern side. The Choc.
taws sent Robert n. Jones to the
Confederate congress, The ChOc-
taws were wholly true TO the South
and did not furnish a single warrior
to the Union. a few renegade
white men who had married Indian
wives joined the state militia of
Arkansas and Kansas. The Choc.
taws contributed to the Southern
forces two full regiments of 1900
and 1900 men, respectively. The
Chickasaws furnished the South
with one battalion of 1900 men,
while the Creeks furnished two
regiments of 1900 men, all told.
The SeminoleS had one battalion of
800 men, and the Cherokees gave
two small regiments. When Gener-
al Kirby Smith surrendered the
trans. Mississippi department the
Choctaws all returned to their
homes and went to work.
In 1866 they entered into anew

which they liberated their slaves.

Hon. L. NJ. Funk Calls GOV. Davis a Liar.

Bentonville, Sept. %. Governor
Davis was again denounced as a liar
here yesterday and meekly submitted to
the charge His accuser in this case was
Hon. r. NJ. Funk, representative from
Benton county in the Legislature, and be
was loudly cheered when he denounced
the willy jeff The incident occurred
when Davis attempted to read state
ment which reflected on Mr.. Funk.
The latter, who was in the audience, a.,
arose and said that the statement was a
lie and the reader was a liar. Davis
attempted to silence him with q threat
Of arrest, but the sentiment was all with
the representative, and his friends ap.
plauded him loudly and rallied to his
side Judge Wood and Hon A. f.
Vandeyenter were present and made
eloquent addresses. which were in SHARP
contrast with the billingsga,e to which
Davis resorts.

Boone Connty's Candidate for State
Auditor.
From the Harrison Times. of Sept 10, 1903.

From the Harrison Times. of Sept 49, 1903.
Lafayette Eotf, of Harrison, is \
candidate for Auditor of State; at this
time his success seems assured, and if
he is successful North Arkansas will
enjoy that success in way that it never
before enjoyed the success of other
worthy sons. Lafayette Eoff is not
perhaps better or worthier than other
successful men from this section but he
is more distinctly from the people. He
is farmer by birth and training. He is
now about thirty seven years of age in
the full vigor of splendid manhood
having left the farm about fifteen years
ago to successfully serve his people for
several years as clerk. His clerical
ability was 50 well recognized and his
standing as gentleman was so thorough
ly understood that when factional feel
ing was pitched to Il dangerous height
by reason of an unfortunate bank failure
here all parties agreed on him to take
charge Of the bank and be responsible to
the owners and depositors without bond.
This compliment was especially high
because Eotf is anything but rich man /;
but when he turned over his trust there
was not single adverse criticism for
his honesty or mismsnagement. Every
where he has been placed he has made
an equal record. In private life he
proved worthy and as an officer he
heightened his reputation with the SOL
der boys at Chickamauga and at Annis
ton. He is an unostentatious but earn
est christian, and u man of temperate
habits in every respect The farmers of
the state seldom have an opportunity to
select from their sons state officer
Bat if Eotf should be elected they will
know that his triumph is their triumph ;
showing that the farmer boy, although
not professional man can serve his
country rs well rs the man from other
walks Of life.
