Terrible Accident.

One day last week the 3-year-
old boy of section foreman Thos.
Doolin at Swifton was run over
by twenty cars of an Iron Noun
tain freight train and his young
life crushed out. Southbound To-
cal freight train No. Il had
headed in at Swifton to allow a
passenger train to pass, and
waited for half an hour on the
side track before the passenger
train went by. In the meantime
little Everett Doolin was playing
around the cars and becoming
tired and sleepy he crawled un-
der the train and went to sleep on
the track. All unconscious that
a precious morsel of humanity
was peacefully slumbering be-
tween the rails, the engineer
opened the throttle and the long,
numbering train of cars passed
out the switch. The anxious
mother soon missed her babe and
began hunting for him. Down
the track she ran, and suddenly
stumbled over the horribly mang-
led body of her little boy. Twen-
ty heavy freight cars had passed
over him, though the little one
never knew what occurred after
the first car passed,

SENTIMENT,

Gov. Robert L. Taylor is a be-
lever in sentiment as one Of the
great motive powers of humanity.
Some time ago he was discussing
the senatorial situation in this
State and expressed the opinion
that Gen. Bates soldier record
would be powerful influence in
his behalf; thereupon one Of his
auditors, a gentleman who was
"too young to 60 in the arrny,"
emphatically expressed his dis
sent and with something of a
sneer on his face declared thav
there was nothing in the old Sold
ier business but a lot Of senti-
ment.
"Young man." replied Gov.
Taylor, as he laid his hand on the
speakers shoulder, you make a
mistake when you underestimate
the power and Importance of
sentiment in the affairs of this
world. Hogs and chickens and
lizards and waterdogs and catfish
are not influenced by sentiment,
but human beings are. There
may be some human beings who
have no sentiment, but as a rule
they go naked and eat human
flesh. Sentiment, if it does not
divide man from the beast, at
least divides the cultivated man
from the savage. Sentiment
plants flowers, puts pictures on
the wall, builds temples and mon
uments and makes love. Senti-
ment watches by the cradle of in
fancy, it hovers over the bedside
of the sick, closes the eyes Of the
dead and strews flowers above
the grave. Love is a sentiment,
patriotism is a sentiment. But
for sentiment, young man, there
would have been no United States
of America, and you would never
have been born. ."-Memphis

Some Sensible Talk.

Ia an address before a farmers
meeting not long ago one of the
speakers said: GAS a rule the
farmer has no firmer friends than
the country press. The home pa
per is distinctly the farmers own
paper, supported directly and in
directly by farmers who COMPOSE
the backbone of the subscription
list, and largely for what the en-
terprising merchants advertise,
Now, brothers, let us not FORGET
our friends. Let US see that our
subscription is paid up the first Of
January OF each year in advance
II we can afford to do it. The
man or the paper that fights my
battles shall have my support.
Another thing, the merchants who
advertise are the ones who make
it possible for them to get out q
good local paper, and men or
hrms who are too penurious to
advertise and help the local press
have no right to the farmers pat,
ronago, propose to 60 to live

Some Figures.

The following figures, compiled
by an exchange, show that the
change OF only a few votes would
have given more than a score Of
counties to Col. E. W. Rector two
years ago in the gubernatorial
race:
Benton, would have been
changed by 68 votes.
Bradley. would have been
changed by 20 votes.
Chicot, would have been
changed by 56 votes.
Desha, would have been
changed by 48 votes.
Lafayette, would have been
changed by 81 votes.
Perry, would have been changed
by 76 votes.
Lee would, have been changed
by 56 votes.
Baxter, would have been
changed by 115 votes.
Clark, would have been
changed by 141 votes.
Columbia, would have been
changed by 1913 votes.
Crawford, would have been
changed by 12O votes,
Grant, would have been
changed by 1877 votes.
Hampstead, would have been
changed by 112 votes.
independence, would have been
changed by III votes.
lizard, would have been changed
by 119 votes.
Jefferson, would have been
changed by 178 votes.
Mississippi, would have been
changed by 106 votes.
Monroe, would have been
changed by 1856 votes.
Pike, would have been changed
by 178 votes.
Poinsett, would have been
changed by 145 votes.
Randolph, would have been
changed by 120 votes,
Franklin, would have been
changed by 10 votes.
Drew, would have been changed
by 205 votes.
In the above counties the race
was exceedingly close, notwith :
standing Governor Davis was
fighting for a second term, and
Notwithstanding Col. Rector was
an unpopular candidate. Taking
these figures, together with the
undisputed fact that Governor
Davis is losing ground in all parts
of the state, the friends of the
governor must have fears for
their favorite. Public sentiment
is fast changing, and we predict
that next March Governor Davis
will be a badly defeated candi-
date.
