From the Sentinel, Gebo Mont
 In the first opening of Oklaho- ma to settlers Tn 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him very se- we're diarrhGa which 1t seemed al most impossible to check, and along in une the case became so bad he expected 10 die. One day one of his noighbors brought him

The announcement that Judge Carroll D. Wood will be a candi- date for Governor has put the Davis people in a furry. They feel that they have little or no excuse for longer advocating Jeff Davis for Governor. They know that Wood is a superior man in every way. They know that he is a purer and better man, and deep down in their hearts they feel the need of a change from Davis to a more re- fined character. They realize the fact that Arkansas needs leader who is worthy to lead, andin Judge Wood they find just such an one. Judge Wood IS an Arkansas product, and one that every true lover of the State should feel a just pride in.
 He has served his people in va rious capacities, and be it said to honor, in no position has he ever been unfaithful, or lowered the standard placed in his care and keeping. He IS not an au- tocrat, he IS not an aristocrat, but he is brainy man of the people and for the people. The humblest man. who is honest and self-respecting, can come as close to Judge Carroll D. Wood and claim his warmest friend ship, as the proudest and haugh- tiest in the land. With him. as Governor, peace would be re stored, and everything would work well together for the good of the State and the bene fit of its people. Gov. Davis has had two terms as Governor and

"There are a whole lot of fool people Tn the world who think 1t their duty to oppose a thing be- cause the newspapers generally favor 1t and to support men and measures because some newspa- pers oppose them. If these peo- pie were not too small to see a broad idea or to know one when they did see 1t, they would know that no independent newspaper, whose editor has the manhood to have an opinion of his own, will ever advocate anything that he does not believe will best sub serve the interests of the majori- ty of the people. \ narrow gagged man will not run a news paper very long"
 There is a world of truth in the above from the Hope Ga zette. An editor who has com mon sense and deeency enough to manage the editorial depart nent of newspaper, never stop to think whether a particular man or measure is popular or not with the masses. He, alone, is concerned as to whether 1t would be best for the people. It is his duty to clearly and specifi- cally point out the pit falls and thenifthe people heedlessly tum- ble into them 1t is no fault of his. What if for the,.best interest of the people is always for the ben eft of the newspaper.

ED. MONTICELLoNIAN:
 Farmers of this vicinity would like to see one of Ellen Burnett s floods on their crops. Cotton is about chopped out in this sec tion, cornis looking we'll but needs flood to make it shoot and tassel. Oats are very sorry, they are all the way from four inches to waist high. Some can be cut with a moving machine while others will have to be cut with sheep shears.
 When the boys go hunting down here now they go out of the back gate. They shoot rab- bits and squirrels, altogether.
 We have learned that Hon. C. D. Wood has announced himself as a candidate for Gov of the State of Arkansas; something we are proud to hear, indeed. Look out, Jeff Davis, you will get wound up this time.

 The principal event at Wilmar for this season is the commence ment exercises of Beauvoir Col lege. which opened last Friday evening.
 The main part of the program that evening was an oratorical con- test between five young men for the medal awarded in that depart ment. The participants in the contest were K. l.. Collins, of Tyro, B. C. Graves, of Florence, Clarence Daniel and w. E. Huey, of Wilmar. and w. A. Cravens, of Calhoun county.
 The young men all did well and so closely was the contest that it was with difficulty for the judges to decide between three of the con- testants. The decision is reserved to be made known on Tuesday night.
 These orations were interspersed with music, songs and recitation by Miss Bessie Oslin. It was also for d medal; but she had no con- testants.
 On Saturday night the literary societies had a contest in debating The question, "The U. $. should not govern the Philippine Islands" :" The affirmative was championed by Messrs. Craven and Duncan, of the Hermean society and the negative by Graves and Collins, of the Euphemian. The judges de cided in favor of the negative.
 These exercises were interspers- ed with music.
 Rev. B. NJ. Bogard, of the Bap- tist Church, from Searcy, preach ed the commencement sermon. It was an able sermon and listented to by an appreciative audience.
 Again at night the chapel was crowded to hear another discourse from the same preacher.
 The annual concert took place on Monday night and was well at tended and appreciated.

mirer and supporter of Jeff Da- wis. For the stand it has taken for him it has no apologies to make, nor do we regret our course. We have not yet ceased rejoicing that he was nominated and elected for the second term
 But we believe he should now be satisfied. He has been hon. ored by his people for two terms in the face of the strongest oppo- sition any man ever had, and 1t is asking too much of his friends when he requests that the time hOnOred Democratic custom in this state be broken and that he be given a third term. No man lean or should receive such hon. or.
 Consequently the people must look elsewhere for man to lead the Democracy in this state next year. The man who is thus se lected should measure up to the standard. He should be an up right, moral, christian gentle men, and should be a man whose Democracy is unquestioned A man who can command the con fidence of the people at home and the respect of those abroad. A m an whom the business com munity will support and a man who IS friend to the poor. A man who can lend dignity to the office and wisdom to the conduct of it's affairs. That we have such a man in the person of Hon. T. C. MeRae cannot be disputed His record as a private citizen and public official reveals the truthfulness of the statement that he is the cleanest man in Arkansas politics today"
 The above from the Prescott Graphic, shows that the Davis people are tiring of his idiosvn- cratic administration. They sec and feel the need of a more serene and equable rule. They realize that more of Davis means more tumult, more dissatisfaction and q deeper arrangement of the people. \ pacific admins tra. tion of Arkansas state affairs Is what all good people want, and all who have given the subject a serious thought know full well that such a condition will never exist with Davis as Gov.
 He IS not built that way. He is disturbing element and can alone survive on the prejudices and passions of the people which he fans into flames by his insin uating methods. He IS at open warfare with nearly every office holder at the State Capitol, with nearly every prominent man in the State of Arkansas, and can only call to his counsel. Men oi mediocrity, men W ho are mostly trimmers and time-serverS and hunting soft places. Such a a state of affairs is deplorable, and should be corrected. No people can long survive and prosper upon the condignments of discomfort and strife Arkan- sas needs pacihcation, it has al ready too long suffered with the reverse condition
 Without disparagement to the Graphie's preference, Hon. T. C. McRae, we would say that Judge Carroll D. Wood who has already indicated his intention of becoming a candi- date for Gov. fully measures up to the standard required
 Aside from all other consider atiOns, two terms, as Chief Ex- ecutive, should satisfy the am bition of any man. It has been the custom of Ark ansas during it's entire history for the Govern or to retire at the end of his sec ond term, and we fail to see any reason why the same rule should not apply in the case of Jefferson Davis.

cause the small taxpayer cannot raise
the money to pay promptly and hence
cannot get the discount. say that
IL taxes are made payable in the Fall
the small taxpayers will be able to
pay promptly and will be able to take
advantage OF the discount
There are other reasons I might
give in support Of the new law. In
any way you look at IT, It is preferable
TO the old law, provided It is amended
so as TO cure the defect
1T has been said that the new law
imposes double taxation in one year.
This Is not true. The new law merely
makes the taxes payable three months
earlier. There will not be an ad.
diuonal levy. The taxes on the as.
sessment roll OF 1908 would be due in
March under the old law and will be
due IN December under the new law.
II there were to be an additional as
sessment and an additional levy that
would be a double tax, but as II Is,
the new law proposes only a change In
tho time OF payment. The burden to
the people is not Increased a dollar.
but is lightened instead, for earlier
payment will save interest"
Il believe the Legislature should
