knew what we are doing they
would sue US for divorces. There
is but one ground for divorce
which they would not know about.
That is adultery, and Jeff Davis is
self-confessed adulterer. If his
language does not mean that, it
does not mean anything.
Judge Wood devoted some min.
utes to stating a few things which
he would advocate when he is
elected governor-all Of them
lnudable and for the good of the
state.
Mr.. Vandeventcr and Judge
Wood were both frequently inter.
rupted, but the expectations of
those who attended with the hope
or belief that something spectacu.
lsr'was about to take place were
doomed TO disappointment.
We believe the crowd was about
evenly divided between Judge
Wood and Governor Davis,
thouSh we ADMIT that the governor
had quite the most of the noise.
Governor Davis had several
very choice things to say of The
Times and its editor. Epithet
and abuse of those who oppose
him are his principal defenses.
He cannot rise above his nature,
and he cannot deny his record.
We had reason to think, however,
that he would be much more se-
we're and insulting, and we really
must say that for once he surpris-
ed US agreeably. The Times has
never knowingly or Intentionally
published an uhtruth about Cover.
nor Davis record. We still be.
lieve that every charge we have
made against him is true. He has
never disproven single solitary
one Of them. We are sorry that
such is the case. We would be

and SAID fEat was IKE TIE Gazette
and Democrat and Vadakin's pa
per. That the former would start
the chase and Vadakin would come
yelping after. 1t was a very pretty
story. Itrefuted successfully every
charge that has been made agains,
the Governor.
The Governor failed 10 prove
that any one or all of the many
things charged against him are un.
true.
He accused Judge Wood of ap.
pointing negroes upon jury com.
missions while he was Circui,
Judge, seventeen years ago.
He asked if anyone believed that
their governor would steal s35, and
when someone said "no," he passed
on to some other equally ridiculous
method of vindication.
Gov. Davis speech was we'll re.
ceived. He was given most re.
spectful hearing, and was not in,
terrupted in a single instance.

JUDGE WOOD.

- - - W " ~
Judge Wood began his address
by stating that 81 pledge you my
word of honor that if Governor
DAVIS had not impugned and Sian.
dered the Supreme Court and my.
self / would not mention his name
IN my speech" He regretted that
his opponent made it necessary for
him to meet him ON his own plane
of politics, and he would therefor
disclose his record, which he did.
He went into the antitrust cases,
of which the Governor had said 81
have no Supreme Court behind
me" and he again told the people
the simple truth about the matter.
Judge Wood stated that Governor
Davis, who was at that time attor-
ney general, started 232 suits, one
Of which was carried to the Su-
preme Court as a test case. The
Supreme Court decided the case in
his favor, upheld the law, sustain
ed the right of the attorney gen.
eral to prosecute the cases to con-
viction, and rcmanded them to the
lower court for that purpose. The
decision can be found IN any law
yer's Office, in the 66th Arkansas
Reports, at page 4S0. But Attor-
ney General Davis instead of
prosecuting the cases, Immediately
proceeded to dismiss them, and
then took the stump and denounced
the Supreme Judges, falsely declar-
ing that they had decided the case
against him, when in fact they had
decided 1T in his favor. Governor
Davis has never been able to give
any good reason why he dismissed
these cases. There is none he can
give.
In Missouri, under identically
the same act, the attorney general
collected nearly 100000 from the
trusts.
Judge Wood declared that when
the governor, as attorney general,
brought suits against trust inter-
ests the lower court decided mere.
ly against the indictment, that
they were not properly framed;
that he thereupon appealed to the
Supreme Court, and that tribunal
had upheld his indictments and re,
turned the cases to the lower court
for the hearing of evidence; but
that political ambition had caused
him to drop the matter instead of
prosecuting the case. 1t would
not have been necessary to go to
London or elsewhere to collect
evidence; he could have called
upon the agents of the trusts IN
Little Rock, taken their affidavits
to the facts in the cases, and OBJ
tanned the truth. By identically
such procedure the attorney gen,
eral of Missouri had collected $780,.
900 for his state from the trusts
operating there.
Judge Wood admitted having
appointed negro on the jury com.
missions seventeen years ago,
whom he was circuit judge. Times
were very different then, and it
was upon the advice of the party |
leaders as democratic expedient |
to Gust the republican carpet,bag-
gers.
Judge Wood was loudly cheered,
and voices cried you did right"
"But," sand Judge Wood, ~
thank God that [ never turned a
poor old eonfederates soldier out
of a job in order to give it to a
negro, and that is what Governor
Davis did with the janitor at the
state mouse at Little Rock"

Hard on Drunkards.

In Persia, says the Chicago
Chronicle, drunkards are black
listed, which means that the per.
son who is put under this ban
cannot 60 to the bazaars to buy
anything, except at certain hours,
and then only under police SUI
veilliance, cannot 60 to any place
OF amusement, and even at his
prayers In the mosque maist keep
away from his respectable neigh
bors. After being blacklisted, if
he should drink again he receives
eighty lashes on the soles of his
feet. In Turkey the man who
gets drunk Is bastipadoed, and In
the mountains of Montenegro and
Albania when moral suasion fails
to keep the drunkard's feet IN the
straight path he sis quietly as
sassinated by order of the local
chief"
In the Christian State of South
Carolina, where we boast of our
"civilizatlOn" and contribute
money in our churches on occas-
ion for the reclamation of the
Turks and other infdels, we make
people drunk for the sake of the
money in tho business. The law
was made to promote temper
ance, it was claimed; it is used to
make money. The price of the
stuff is low, and it is disposed of
without respect to the welfare of
the purchaser or of society.
If the Persians and Turks and
Montenegrlns of bibulous tenden-
cies could only be informed of
the conditions IN South Carolina
doubtless they would be pleased
to immigrate hitherward. The
suggestion is commended to the
attention Of the Board of Control,
which has not discharged its
whole duty in "purchasing
"stock," but ought to be requir-
ed also to supply customers. -

Weather And Crops.
Weekly Report of the Weather
Bureau in Washington.

Washington, April %. The
weather bureaus weekly crop re-
port says:
The drought in the Central and
West Gulf States, especially in
the last mentioned section, has
grown more serious, and over
large areas the ground is too dry
for termination of seed.
AS in the previous week corn
planting has made slow progress,
more particularly over the cen-
tral and eastern portions Of the
corn belt and In the Middle At
lantic States, but better progress
has been made in Kansas and Me-
braska, and preparations for
planting have been vigorously
carried on in Iowa and portions of
Illinois. In tho Southern State
corn has suffered from low tenn
peratures, and in the Central and
West Gulf districts from drought
also.
East of the Mississippi River
early cotton has been injured by
cold and much replanting will be
necessary. Planting in this part
of the cotton belt has progressed
rapidly, except in Mississippi,
whore, as ia the districts west OF
the Mississippi, planting, although
well advanced, has been largely
suspended during the past week
on account of drought. Warmth
is generally needed throughou,
the cotton belt, and the centra
end western districts are in ur-
gent need of rain.
Tobacco plants continue plenti
full and healthy, though backward
in0Kentucky. No transplantine
has yet been done, except in tn,
Carolinas, but plants are read,
for setting in Tennessee. Ii
North Carolina the plants are
not starting we'll, and in South
Carolina stands are being impair
ed by worms and injury has beer
caused by hail storm.

went ahead and made my success
first and my maxims afterward.
