Wilmar Snap Shots.

From our Regular Correspondent.
 Winter seems to be lingering in the lap of Spring. and April has borrowed a few of March's windy days. judging from the weather we have had during this month.
 Farmers are fairly well up with their work, and are now in the midst of cotton planting
 Mir. and Mrs. ]. F. Koonce are visiting Pine Bluff. Mrs. Koonce is having her eyes treated.
 Mrs. II. C. Rule and children left last Saturday for a visit to friends at Crossett.
 Mrs. B. P. Kidd and little daughter visited relatives down the road last week.
 Rev. w. w. Gardner passed through Wilmar from a trip of visiting some of the Baptist churches in the Northern part of the county, this week.
 Revs. M. P. Ellis and E. B. Anderson, who were in atten- dance on the A. R. P. Presbytery, at Monticello. came over to Will mar and spent q day and night with friends.
 Rev. ]. w. Simms, of the BaP- tist Church, and Rev. Breedlove, of the Christian Church, filled their regular appointments yester- day in Wilmar.
 The people of Wilmar regret very much to see Mrs. Walsh, widow of the late Pastor of the NJ. E Church, leaving our midst. She and her little children carry away with them the sincerest sympathy of not only the Methodist Church, here, but all who knew Bro. Walsh.
 Mir. Niekason, who had lately moved to Wilmar, died last Mon day morning of .menigetis, and was buried at the New Cemetery.
 Mir. J. F. Verell, an old and respected citizen of Barkada for many years, died at his home at Warren last Wednesday. His re- mans were brought to Wilmar Thursday for interment. Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church by his Pastor, Rev. J. w.. Simms.

are either farmers, themselves, or friends of farmers. Tn the next place, few men, whether candidates or not, will put up on a farmer, or anybody else, without an invitation. If 1t IS true indeed, that the farmers of Mississippi have decided to charge their neigbbors and friends for "breaking bread with them it is a sad commenta- " upon them, and severe shock to good, old-time South ern hospitality. About the on ly candidates whoever put up on the farmer, at all, IS the county candidate, since the state and district office seekers have such wide field that they are only able to touch in the high places, " and think they have done remarkably we'll to strike the county-sites and principal towns.
 If the Mississippi farmer wants to charge his neighbor and friend, who unfortunately be comes a candidate for office, let him do so; but let the good old Arkansas farmer continue to lay up treasures in better land by taking care of the poor candidate, without fee and with out price.

A bill has been introduced in the Legislature. and will most likely pass, which prohibits tim ber-cutters from leaving felled trees across neighborhood roads. The need of such a law has long been felt by people who live near saw-mills, since. as a general thing, timber-cutters have no more regard for the convenience of others than a bull-pup has for Sunday. Our experience has led us to infer that most men who make timber cutting q business have made study of the sci ence of felling trees across the road.

It is barely possible that the bill may be unconstitutional which gives to the Legislature the power to elect the State Capitol Commissioners, but what we would like to know, that if such is the case, how did the Governor find it out?

The School Board in session Saturday, April nth, 1903, unan- imously adopted the following res olution

out price.
 The act of Governor Davis in appointing a Board of Capitol Commissioners in direct contra vention to the law enacted by the Legislature is the boldest move ever made by a Chief Ex- ecutive and Is little less than revolutionary in its scope and bearing. The bill for the cree ton of the new State Capitol provides that five Commission CTS shall be elected by the joint assembly of both houses; but just as soon as this sbill became a law, and that too, over the Governors veto, he forthwith usurps the power vested i'll the Legislature by the law creating the Board, and proceeds to ap- point five men to act as said Capitol Commissioners. The Legislature regarding his action as altogether unwarranted has gone ahead and elected five Commissioners as provided for in the bill. We have not seen a full text of the new law, but pre- sume that 1t repeals all former acts on the subject, and stands alone the embodiment of all that looks to the State House building project This being d fact there is no authority any where providing for Commiss- toners save in this bill, and therein it is expressly stated that said Commissioners shall be elected by the joint ballot of the two houses of the General Assembly. Hence, 1t is too plain to need argument to con vince anybody that the action of Governor Davis in making the appointments he has made, in the face and teeth of the law, is not only unprecedented but violative of the preroga tive of the law-making power. It is a dietatorial step which should be rebuked ln no uncertain way. It IS a gross insult to the Legis- lature which enacted the bill and an unauthorized criticism of the wisdom of it's members. It is, perhaps, the first instance in the history of civilized governments, where republican form IS vouchsafed to the people, that the Executive assumed both the law-making and the judicial powers along with the executive, the only one legitimatelv be longing to him. He has taken a solemn oath to execute the laws as he finds them. and not to construe them. It is the Leg islative province to make laws, the Judicial province to construe them and the Executive prov inee to execute them; but in the present instance we have a Gov ernOr who says what the law ought to be and what 1t shall be, ih total disregard of the Leg islatiye and Judicial depart ments of the Government. If Governor Davis has a right to declare this law invalid he has a right to declare all law invalid, and there would be no law save his own sweet pleasure, and the whole State of Arkansas IS at the mercy and caprice of a most visionary character, to say the least Under all the circumstan- ces we feel that Judge Merriman would be eminently justi6able in adding new charge to the impeachment proceedings and reconvening his Committee. Bold and unlawful usurpation of power is most assuredly gross misconduct in office, and calls for condemnation of the severest kind and of the surest relief.

The day is rapidly approach ing when the timber interests of this country will be a thing of the past. and then our people who are now engaged in mills, in log-hauling, stave and tie work will have to look out for other employment As there will likely be little else for them
 to do except to engage in agri. cultural pursuits 1t might be well for them to take time by the fore-lock and purchase, while 1t is yet cheap, enough land to make them q comforta- ble homestead. To buy 160 acres of good land would be no bad investment, even if you did not want to go on 1t just now.

The farmers of the state of Mississippi have rebelled against a time honored custom existing in that state. and as result an army of candidates for various offices numbering something like 6,000 i'll the state will hereafter have to pay for their lodgings while out on the hustines in search ot votes. It appears that heretofore it has been the custom for these candidates to put up on the farmers of the various communities and go away the next morning with profuse thanks. In some instances those farmers who are well located have had to entertain scores of these vote-hunters, and their on ly compensation has been cheaD tlattery. Now the farmers want something more substantial and they are justified in their de termination not to entertain this army of candidates free any longer. The farmers of Arkan. sas could pursue a like course With profit to themselves. Il. K. Democrat.
 From the above poorly digest ed morsel one would be led to believe that the candidate was an intolerable nuisance. prowl- ing around over the country eating up its substance and ben citing no one. Now, in the first place. 5000 candidates in the state is putting the figures too high by great odds, and in the second place these candidates
