The following snake story is
from the Wynne Blade-Democrat:
For some time past the kitchen
drain pipe attached to the sink in
the kitchen at the home of j. S.
Calhoon refused to carry off the
water. Tuesday, Mr.. Calhoon de-
cided he would take up few
joints in an endeavor to locate the
cause. When he came to the last
joint he found that half dozen
big black snakes had crawled into
the pipe to hibernate for the whit
err. Not being able TO cxtricate
themselves, they had died, leaving
the pipe completely full for Il dis
lance of ten feet.

the commotion that was raised ov:
er the meal that Booker Washing
ton took at the White House.
But the idea should not be per-
mitted to go abroad that the South
ern white people hate the negro.
They don't. They know that the
negro will be in the South always
and therefore realize that the best
thing they can do is to live in this
land of plenty in peace and amity
with the black race.

She Would Meander.

In an essay on the pleasure of
country life, a city girl takes the
readers of the woman's page into
her confidence and declares, 1t is
a fond dream of mine to become a
farmers wife and meander down
life's pathway
Whereupon country editor,
who processes to know something
of the realities as we'll as the
dreams of a rural existence, re-
marks:
"Oh, yes, that is a nice thing,
but when your husband meanders
off and leaves you without wood
and you have to meander up and
down the lane pulling splinters off
the fence to cook dinner, and you
meander around in the wet clover
in search of the cows until your
shoes are the color of the setting
sun; and each stocking absorbs a
pint of water, and when you mean
der out across twenty acres of
plowed ground to drive the COWS
out of the buckwheat and tear
your dress on a wire fence, and
when you meander back to the
house and find that the goat has
butted your child until it resemb-
les pumpkin, al ] find the old
hen and sixteen chickens in the
parlor, the cat in the cupboard and
the dog in the milk, you wnl real
ize, dear girl, that the meander
business is not what it is cracked
up to be. Elk.

Don't Be q knocker.

Do you think to speak a good
word for your state to strangers
who happen in our midst? Sure
ly you do not regale them with
stories of hard times, poor crops,
the scarcity of money, the wet sea-
son, the dry seasons, the chills, in
fact turn the whole battery of your
torpid liver upon theml If you
do, for the sake of truth and de-
cency, sell what you have, if you
have anything, aud go where your
imagination pictures the honey

year-old mountain boy, you know
that Arkansas is one of the grand

DAVIS AND WOOD
A Few of the Reasons Why The
Journal is Not Supporting
Wood Nor Davis.

The Sharp County Record, one
of the worst anti-Davis papers in
the state, has always accused The
Journal of supporting DAVIS, and
the Beebe News, one of the hottest
Davis papers in the state accuses
US of supporting Wood. With
these two brilliant squirrel-heads
firing at us like this how are we
going to find out where we are
at!
The truth of the matter is, we
have tried to meddle with this GU
bernatorial dispute just as little as
possible, for we have learned long
ago that you can't handle the po-
ker without getting black. This
is especially true of the black end
of it,and at the present time we
consider that both ends of the pol
itical poker in Arkansas is black.
In fact, for the past four or five
years Arkansas has been cursed
with the vilest set of rotten demo-
gogues in Office that ever walked
upon the earth. And we can't see
how the situation will be improved
one particle by the election or de-
feat Of either one of the present
candidates for governor. 1t is a
disgrace to the state OF Arkansas
that there is not Il good man in the
race for governor. Take Judge
Wood, for instance; he is ehron-
ic office-seeker and has been in Of
flee continuously for % years. What
has he ever accomplished in this
time that has benefited the peo-
plel He has been a member of
the supreme court for years; the
supreme court is now two years
| behind with its work and men,
Der of the supreme court is con-
nected with the ice trust in Little
Rock; yet Judge Wood and his
friends would have us believe that
his election as governor would ele-
vate the good name of the state
and purify politics! Why, then
has he never done anything for
the good of the people, elevated
| the supreme court and helped to
push It's business? Then how can
we expect so much from him as
governor? Fact of the business is,
he is not fit for governor, and if
there is a man in the whole state
of Arkansas who is less fit to fill
the governors office than Judge
Wood, that man is jeff Davis.
A close research of all the histo-
rical works at our command fails
to show where the name Davis or
iginated or what animal the origi-
nal daddy of the family sprang
from, but if the most putrid depths
of hades itself were raked with q
fine tooth comb and the dross of
the matter so collected worked off
and embodied in compact form it
would be impossible to get more
corruption to the square inch than
is embodied in Jeff Davis, the man
who has done more to disgrace
Arkansas than any man who ever
lived within her borders, Powell
Clayton not excepted. He has
pardoned rape fiends, blind tigers,
and murderers, misused the states
money, tried to defraud the state
out of $4,000 in the purchase of
convict farm, signed the Dickin-
son convict contract and then lied
about it, turned old ex-Confeder-
ate soldiers out of work and put
negroes in their places, and kept
the state in constant state of
turmoil ever since he came into of
! fee. Such a man would disgrace

GROVER AND COON
Difference In Treatment Accorded
the Negro by Cleveland
and Roosevelt.

An incident that has caused great
annoyance to Grover Cleveland is
valuable and instructive in show
ing the difference in the attitude
of the president of the United
States and that of this ex-president
toward the negro.
In an effort to break the adverse
force of the Booker Washington
dinner incident Congressman Scott
of Kansas said in the house a few
days ago that President Cleveland
had dined at the executive mansion
negro, CHI. Taylor, whom he
appointed recorder of deeds of the
District of Columbia. Congress-
man Webb of North Carolina wrote
to Mr.. Cleveland asking whether
Mr.. SCOTS words were true and
received in reply letter from Mr..
Cleveland in which he said that
the statement of the Kansas con-
gresham was q deliberate fabri-
cation out of whole cloth. y
After he had been thus vexed
and annoyed, remark how Mr..
Cleveland refers to the negro of
ficeholder himself.
AS far as Mr.. Taylor is con-
cerned, says Mr.. Cleveland, I
understand that prior to his APP
pointment as register of deeds, he
had served as an assistant in the
Office of the city attorney at Kan
sas City. His nomination as reg
lister was confirmed by the senate
and he served in that place with
intelligence and efficiency. He has
since died. Some people restrain
themselves from abusing the dead.
Ny inquiries concerning Mr.. Tay-
Tor before his appointment, my
observation of him during his in
cumbency and the little | have
known of him since, satisfied me
that his character is very unjustly
attacked by Mr.. Scott. =
So, here is the difference be-
tween Grover Cleveland and The
odore Roosevelt so far as the ne
gro is concerned. Mr.. Cleveland,
of Northern birth and family, APP
points worthy negro to an office
in Washington, where negro office
holders are taken as matter of
course, and treats negroes with
courtesy and respect, without do
ing anything that savors of social
equality. Mr. Roosevelt, who
says he is half Southern" rams
a negro down the throat of the
commercial circles of Charleston,
S. c., in his appointment of Crum
as collector of the port of that city
despite protests and entreaties to
the contrary, abolishes the postof-
flee at Indianola, Miss, because
certain people there had objected
to negro woman as postmaster,
and then invites another negro to
his table at the White House. Ev-
en- though Mr.. Roosevelt did not
mean such thing, the instant inn
plication was: If the negro is
good enough to dine with the pres
ident of the United Statesp he is
good enough to dine with any and
all white people. As a general
proposition the person that you
ask to eat at your table is the per-
son that is your social equal and is
entitled to meet your family and
your friends and enter your house
and call upon those living there.
Indeed, if you have invited a man
to dine with you it is downright
bad behavior for him to neglect to
call upon you and your family soon
afterward. Thus can be explained

Fort William Wheat Receipts.

About 100000 bushels of wheat up
to date, ali Of the new crop, has arrived
at Fort William for shi pment by the
lake route. The shipments east of Fort
William have kept pace with the stor-
age from the west. About 100000 bush
els have been carried away by vessels
and the harbor is now filed with Cana
dian vessels waiting to be loaded with
grain. Most of these have been bring
ing in coal and steel, so far there has
been no American boat taking cargoes
of wheat. The freight shipments
by rail from Fort William west from
cargoes being unloaded there are very
heavy and on Tuesday 162 cars were
shipped.
In western points wheat deliveries
are becoming very heavy and the Can
adam Pacific railway has every avail
able boxcar and train crew pressed into
service. On Sunday 100000 bushels
left Winnipeg for Fort William. Some
complaints Of car shortage have been
heard, but so far the trouble has been
of little extent. A large percentage of
the farmers are loading wheat by plat
form, which is a much slower process
than by loading thru the elevators. The
