CREDIT TO ANY STATE.

''The History of Lawrence, Jackson, Independence and Stone Counties, Arkansas, ,' would be a credit to th!s or any other state in the union.
 It relates much that is of gen. eral interest. To quote the New York Outlook "the authors style is straightforward, simple, direct and genuine" B. H. Clement of the Boston Transcript says: Miss s. w. Stockard has written the history of her country and shows in that work which l have examined much capacity for re- search as well as energy and in- dustry, together with an excel lent, clear and straightford lit- erary style in the expression of broad and intelligent views.
 Many of the people of Arkan- sas have shown by their. actions that they know how to appre- ciate this work. Miss Stockard,

RED RIVER OVER
 FLOWS FERTILE BOTTOM.

Fulton, June 13. - The river bottoms hereaboltare overfowed and the Red river stands 31 1-2 feet on the government gauge at Fulton.
 Thousands Of acres of corn and cotton between Lewisville and Garland City are totally de- stroyed. The large plantations of William Temple, George Ros- enberg, A. L. B. Fishers, J. J. Battle, J. B. Shultz and Cox Bros., with many other smaller ones near Fulton, are now a per feet sea of water.
 The damage is greater than any experienced since 1892. Buildings and fences are washed away, with hundreds of horses, cattle and mules drowned.
 There has been no loss of life as yet, but all the farmers and tenants on the river front are left destitute and homeless and must depend on public charity for assistance until the waters go down.

Many have freely expressed themselves as anxious to return to the old system as arellef from many of the evils which have become engrafted upon the se- lection of nominees by primaries. One of these is the great amount which a campaign costs any candidate for state office, anu the lowering of the dignity ol the office by forcing the asplrah' to a crossroads canvass ana z traipsing after votes. Ex-Mayo1 w. R. Duley of Little Rock ana Hon. w. H. Langford of Flne Bluff are among those who aie advocating the reformation.

vored making an investigation, Tn order that the committee could submit a recommendation to the state convention, and their views prevailed.
 Hon. J. c. Yancey led off in a presentation of one side and Hon. ". s. Wright followed with a statement of the other side. Neither faction held a conven- tion on April 2, the uniform day, both acting on May 4. The com mittee took up the case at 5 D.. m. and wrestled with it until after meal time.
 Tonight the committee, which resumed it's sitting at 9 o'clock, recommended the seating of the Independence county delegation headed by Col. J. c. Young and Hon. Ernest Neill. It is anti Davis. The committee also took up the Jackson county contest. HEARST MEN ACTIVE. A conference of Hearst SUD- porters was held tonight and was we'll attended. More than one hundred delegates favor Hearst and they will make an effort to secure the instructions.
 The presidential question, how ever, is overshadowed by inter est in the control of the conven. ton, and the result of efforts tc eliminate Senator Berry. The senator's friends are rallying te his support and say they will con. test every inch of the ground.

TOWN SHOULD ADVERTISE

One of the first requisites of a
 good business man in this age or
 mercantile activity is that ne
 should understand the art or ! au- ',
 vertising, says the world Q
 Progress" in the May Four Track News.
 The same rules that govern
 private concerns should govern
 the business affairs of cities.
 Every civilized town that has ln- dustrial aspirations and hopes to grow and prosper must needs let the world know what it has to offer by way of inducements.
 Manufacturing enterprises, ed ucational institutions, business and professional men are ever seeking desirable locations, and it is a noticeable fact that com paratively few cities and towns are attracting them. This is be- cause many towns which possess good water power, good shipping facilities, good school and resi- lence advantages, lack the life md enterprise to let the world xnow what they possess.
 They do not grow because they ire unknown. They are like the lrowsy merchant who doesn't hink it worth while to advertise, ut prefers to sit and watch the piders spin webs across his loorway.
 Every new enterprise that To- ates in a town adds to the pros 'erity and business possibilities f every dealer in the place, and very citizen who has his owr ,ood and the good of the commu' lity at heart should take a hanc n getting his town into toucF with the busy wide awake world

AVIS MACHINE
 WINS FIRST BLOOD.
Convention Seats Davis Delega- tion From Independence Coun- ty Committee Reports
 In Favor of Keel Fac
 tion in Jackson.

Hot Springs, June IA. Witt the followers of Gov. Davis en toying almost perfect control o1 the body, the Democratic state convention adjourned at 4o'clocl this afternoon until 9:30 tomor row morning. Tonight the dele gates were the honorees at a hor given in the Arlington hotel Meanwhile the committee on ere. dentials, composed almost en- tirely of Davis men, is taking ur the interregnum with passing upon the membership roll of the convention.
 Not much progress was made at the first days session of the convention, which began at 1920 p. m., but enough transpired to show that the Davis forces are we'll organized. No controversy arose over temporary officers, but the rub came when the report of the state central committee was presented relative to the con- tested delegations. When it was proposed to enter on the tempo rary roll the delegation from lnde-
 pendence county opposed to Gov.
 Davis, the governors friends
 rallied to resist the effort and, by
 avote of 191 to 251, they won first
 blood and secured recognition
 for the Davis contesting delega- tion from Independence county.
 The Pulaski delegation voted
 to seat the anti-Davis delega.
 tion and Senator Berry's delega-
 tion from Benton county voted likewise, but the Davis side had the numbers and prevailed. It is certain however, that some of the counties that aligned on the Davis side will vote for Senator Berry asa delegate at large, yet ..1lose who ale in close touch with the situation tonight pre- dict that if the senior senator is made one of the ''big four" it will be by a narrow margin and only after a spirited struggle.
 Senator Clarke did not inter- fere with the execution of the Davis plans today, and there is an apparent disposition on his part to refrain from making an issue of Senator Berry in the convention.
 The Davis forces are concen- trating their energies upon de- telQnining the personnel of the state> central committee for the next two years and of bringing about the selection of Hon. o. B. Gordon of Prescott as chairman and John H. Page of Little Rock IS secretary.
 All the power of compact organization is being invoked to that end, but the friends of Chairman Carroll Armstrong and Secretary Gray Carroll are con eaent and diligent.
 Ifftaxest in the personnel of the ''big four,is dwarfed for the present by the other matters the control of the party LlldClllilSly.
 The Jackson county contest was taken up Monday night by the state committee. s. D. Camp bell presented the case of the and M. M Stuckey the side of the regular delega- ton. The only issue was as to the legality of the seating of the Union township (Newport) dele cation in the county convention, it being held that there were IT, recularities in this, also the tenn porary organization. After hear ;nc evidence voluminous and ar on1ments extensive, the commit tee bya viva voce vote recom- mended the Stuckey delegation.
