WANT TO GO TO JACKSON
Public Sentiment Favors Annex ing That Part of Independ-
 ence to Jackson County.

A strong sentiment has devel- oped within the past few days to petition the coming session of the legislature to cut off a block of territory here and attach 1t to Jackson county.
 The people south of White riv- CT made an effort a few years ago to have the legislature attach that territory to Jackson county, and they have never become thoroughly reconciled to remain part of Independence county, even after the refusal of the legisla- ture to grant their request, and strengthened by the present strong sentiment in favor of the scheme in this township, the leg islature would very likely grant the request.
 The majority of those who fa- vor the proposed plan of annex ation to Jackson county, (and that, by the way, seems to be everybody in the territory affect ed) seems to be pretty well agreed upon the proposed lines of the territory to be annexed, which are about as follows: Be- ginning at the intersection of the county line with the north boun- dary of Logan township and run ming west along the township line to White river township, thence south on the town ship line to Big Bottom, thence west on the township line to Magness township, thence south on the the line between Magness and Big Bottom to the White riv- CT, thence south around the township lines between Chris tian, Salado and Fairview to the Jackson county line.
 If the change should be effect ed it would deprive Independ- ence county of it's wealthiest ter ritory and perceptibly reduce her revenue. But 1t would make Jackson one of the wealthiest counties in the state.
 Sentiment in favor of the pro- posed change is the outgrowth of the shabby treatment given New ark and Big Bottom at the hands of some of the big high-cock-a- forums at Batesville in matters pertaining to the welfare of Newark and this section of the county. Newark Journal.

 As the offense is indictable by the grand jury, and will ultimate ly go to the circuit court, the case may be dismissed before Justice Smith.
 Roberts is reported to have been busy travelling over the country for several days, and is quoted as having told one citizen that he would soon be out of trouble. 2 That he will seek to prove an alibi is generally ad- mitted.

FIFTY COUNTIES
 OPPOSE LICENSE. Changes in Alignment of Wet And Dry Counties of
 State.

Little Rock, Sept. II. At last Mondays election in Arkansas an increased number of counties voted against license, and will be dry" for the two years begin ming January 1 next. In 1902, out of the seventy-five counties in the state, forty-four voted against license. This year the number of no-license counties will be fully fifty, as the result of the September election. The leading counties which will be dry after January l and which went wetE' at the election two years ag9 are: Craighead, Craw f 6r d, Hampstead, Hot Spring, Independence, Monroe and Sharp. There will be no sa- looms in Jonesboro, Van Buren, Hope, Malvern, Ba tesville, Brinkley and Clarendon in conse- quence of the vote last Monday, while the anti-license attitude of forty-two out of forty-four coun- ties is unchanged. When the re- turns are all in it is believed there will be a total of fifty dry :" counties. Greene county re- mains in the anti column, hence there will be no saloons in Paragould. Two years ago Yell county gave a majority of 5 against license, and this year that majority was increased to AS, so there will be no saloons in Dardanelle, Ola, Danville, nor any other town in the county. Boone county this year gives a majority of 12 for license; in 1902 it went against license by AT votes. Perry county gives 1oA majority for license, while in
 JU2 it gave 38 majority against license. There were a number of very close contests in some of the counties on the question. In Ouachita county the campaign was decidedly spirited, but the advocates of license won by the vote of 1,413 to 1,145, so that Camden will continue to be wet. ."
 When the full returns are in it will be af interest to compare the aggregate vote in the state this year with that of two years ago on the license question. In 1902 the total vote in the state was 58, 545 for license and 54, 1885 against license. It appears that there is a gain this year in the \no-license vote.

SOFT CORF:

Like the running brook, the red blood that flows through the veins has to come from somewhere. The springs of red blood are found in the soft core of the, bones called the marrow and some say red blood also comes from the spleen. Healthy bone marrow and healthy spleen are full of fat.
 Scott's Emulsion makes new blood by feeding the bone marrow and the spleen with the richest of all fats, the pure cod liver oil.
 For pale school girls and invalids and for all whose blood is thin and pale, Scott's Emulsion is a pleasant and rich blood food. It not only feeds the blood-making organs but gives them strength to do their proper work.

ELECTION OF POSTMASTER.

 In the latest issue of MT. Bry- ans paper, the Commoner, the suggestion is made that postmas- ters be elected by popular vote and the following pertinent ques- tions and observations relating to the present method of appoint ing those officials are made:
 Why should president be per mitted to turn the postoffice de- partment into a partisan machine and have thousands of postmas- ters as paid agents to advance his political fortunes? He should not. Why should a member of congress be permitted to build up a personal organization con- posed of the postmasters recom- mended by him but paid by the government and use this organi- zation to defeat other congress sional aspirants in his own parts? ]? He should not. Why should a chief executive be permitted to fill the most frequented office in the community with postmaster objectionable to the community and reward him for his services wiCn the money paid in Dy s..o

CLAIMS TO HAVE
 BEEN DRIVEN AWAY. s. E. Wilson of Weldon Says He Was Run Out of That Sec tion by Fear of Violence
 From Unpaid Elm
 ployes.

Threatened with death at the hands of an infuriated mob of angry employees, s. E. Wilson was forced to flee from the town of Weldon, Ark, last Saturday, and he is now in Memphis, where he hopes to be safe from the bull lets of the men who chased him for miles, says the Commercial Appeal.
 Mir. Wilson has been running saw mill at Weldon for several months. He was backed by the Fred Upham Lumber Company of Chicago. About two weeks ago, according to his own state ment to a friend here yesterday, he was forced to close down.
 The Chicago company promised to lend him money so that he could open up again. His en- ployes had not been paid off, but he is said to have told them that all would be paid as soon as the Chicago company would send the money.
 It seems from the mans story that he waited several days for the Chicago company. In the meantime, his employees got impa- tient, and about the middle of last week they delivered to him an ultimatum to the effect that if he did not pay up in day or so there would be something do- ing"
 The yelled threat in the words something doing" was not con strued by MT. Wilson to mean that he would be attacked by a mob and that he would be driven out of camp. However, he as- sured the men that as soon as the Chicago company would forward the money all would be squared.
 Friday night MT. Wilson heard the threats of his former en- ployes, and Saturday the de- nouement came. They went to him and first demanded their wages. He made the same re- ply. The employees then went to their homes and came out with guns, saying that they were go- ing to lynch Wilson.
 Some one communicated the in- tention of the men to Wilson, and he was forced to retire into the woods. He was informed by a friend that it would not be safe to attempt to board a train at that place, as his employees, arm ed with pistols, were searching every train to see that he would not escape.
 MT. Wilson was compelled to take a circuitous route to get to a railroad train. He travelled sev- eral miles through the woods, and finally boarded a freight train for Memphis. MT. Wilson has valuable property in Weldon, but he said yesterday he was afraid to go back on account of the trouble.

Nitro-Glycerine Tears Large Safe Into Fragments No Money
 Secured.

Knobel, Sept. g. Burglars en- tered the Bank of Knobel last night at 11:15 and left it a mass of wreck and ruins. A heavy charge of nitro-glycerine tore the large safe into fragments and completely demolished the front room.
 There is no clew at this time as to who committed the act. No money was secured, as the alarm was given before the money box could be opened.
 The authorities have been hold ing a man about 5 feet and 4 inches high, weight 175, light hair and mustache, gray eyes, fairly we'll dressed; carried a satchel and claims to be a miner. He left here supposedly for Mem phis.

Tempers in Married Life.

The importance of harmonizing tenn
pers in married life is not less than thai
of marriage itself People seem to mar
ry because they can picture land of un
allowed happiness in which they may
dwell. After one or two years OF mar
ried existence the dream is shattered
Pride alone then bids many man and
wife to live together in inharmonious
union. They have everything that life
can give, including too much OF one
thing--temper.
Mr.. Husband, do you really know your
wife? Have you studied every phase, OF
her makeup? Is she sensitive and tender
in her nature? Do you say things thai
you know will hurt her feelings? DO you
make certain remarks about her, hel
friends, her frocks, or her milliner's
bills, in a certain semi-sarcastic way
simply because you know that she Will
be cut to the core?
Unless tempers can be harmonized, nc
marriage can be truly happy. Some may
say that to resort to reasoning out every
little bubble will lead to a melancholy
existence. Reason should never be con
sidered a tyrant, but counsellor. How
ever hard the struggle may be, it is sure
to lead to wonderful results, and as
nothing in this life is gained without
struggle and honest effort, married
couples who are not happy only because
they cannot harmonic their tempers
will find that the struggle, even if it has
taken years and years, will be worth the
while.-McCalPs.
