Negroes Prominent.

Chicago, June 20.-Probably
10 per cent CT the delegates and
alternates at the convention are
negroes. But at the bars in the
headquarters of the various can
didates, and even in the cafes of
the Auditorium and the great
Northern hotels, appearances give
the impression that the Afro
American League is in national
convention.
"We have never been treated
better in our lives" said one of
the black delegates from Louisi-
ana, who is occupying the con.
vention seat which belongs to
Frank Williams the sugar king.
"We drink white mems whls-
key, eat white mems food and
sleep in white mems beds, and
why shouldn't we? Don't we
have to vote for white mems can
didates?"
As far as can be learned, the
color line has been absolutely
abolished as far as this conven-
ton is concerned, and it is said
that the word was sent out two
weeks ago by the Republican
managers through the local COM
mittee to the hotel and restaurant
keepers of Chicago, that the me-
groes must not be, Disseminated
against in any paticular, and
these orders are being obeyed to
the letter.
The Southern contest involves
many of these negro delegates,
who are either contesting seats or
are being contested by white
men, and these negroes are, of
course, putting in all their spare
time in telling their troubles to
the other delegates.

An Unique Drummer.

"a Chillicothe young woman
flirted the other evening with a
middled-aged travelling man who
at once caught on and took a
walk with the frisky young wo-
man," the Chillicothe Democrat
relates. "As they rambled on he
questioned her as to the location
of her home and she showed him
the house, but when he asked her
to take him IN she refused, saying
that she did not want her mother
to SEQ her with stranger. But
the travelling man insisted on 60
ing in and before she could rem
onstrate he had seized her by the
arm and hurried her up the steps
to the front door. An elderly
woman responded to the summons.
The travelling man inquired if she
was the mother of the girl at his
side. Receiving an affirmative
reply the stranger gently led the
girl into the hall and, turning to
the mother, said Madam, your
daughter flirted with me on the
street this evening and | have
brought her home to you. She
dosen't look like a bad girl and
she is altogether too young and
pretty to be on the streets alone
at night, | have a daughter of my
own about her age and l would
thank any man for doing what |
have done tonight, and so would
her mother. Take good care of
your daughter and don't let her
walk the streets at night, and
teach her the evils of flirting, -

good shape. Wheat is unusually
good this year.

of Reeds Creek are in attendance
at the Worlds Fair this week. We
are going to write book on the
beauties and wonders ,of the
Worlds Fair when they return.
This part of Sharp county is
one of the finest fruit countries
in the state. We can successfully
grow any kind of fruit here that
be grown anywhere in this clim-
ate. We have some of the finest
quarries Of building stone in the
state, and plenty of oak, cotton
wood, ash, pine, walnut and gum
timber, all of which bring good
prices in the market. We need
transportation to assist US in
turning our products into money.
When the time does come, several
large orchards will be set out of
the Elberta peach and some of the
leading winter varieties OF apples
besides berries of all kinds.
H. G. Winters has come back
to town to resume operations in
the big Eel mines northwest of
town a mile and a half. He says
he has come 70 stay and to open
up some of the vast zinc deposits
of the Calamine district. If a few
more good fellows would come
with this in view, you would see
the mining interest boom as it has
never doomed in 30 years. We
would then be assured of the rail-
road. Mining men come in and
buy good prospects and sit down
to wait for the railroad to come
before opening them up, when if
they would open them up and
show that the mineral is here in
paying quantities, it would be
some inducement for the road to
be built,

SOls ~ ANs
Paragould Soliphone, is authority
for the statement that at the Hot
Springs convention on the night
previous to instructing for presl-
dent the Hearst men held a eau
Gus, ompared notes and found
that they had 214 votes pledged
to them. They were in high glee,
and expected to get more than
the needed eight delegates to car
ry the day.
"When the time came for the
convention" says Editor Taylor,
"to vote on instructions of dele
gates to the national convention
every body got busy, and the
H earst men were routed boot and
breeches. Gov. Davis and Sem
ator Clarke were both in the hall
and threw themselves into the
breeches with all their power, and
as it was their convention their
forces could not be resisted. The
Hearst men were hot under the
collar because they expected help
from the governor, provided ne
took any part in the fight at all
The Wood men in the convention
were almost unanimous in their
opposition to Hearst, while the
majority of the Davis men were
for him, and they felt that the
governor was guilty of ingratltude
in falling in the Wood column on
this proposition. The Hearst men
had several orators slated to ad-
dress the convention on the
question, but the Parker men did
not want any speech making, and
they rushed the resolution for
their man through in jiffy. Had
the question been opened to gen.
eral discussion it is probable that
the result would have been differ
'ent, for on the proposition the
Hearst men had the best argu-
ment and would have made the
best showing in the debate.
"When Gov. Davis and Judge
Wood were on the stump last
winter" continued Editor Taylor,
"the governor accused the judge
of all kinds of trust utilization; ac-
eused him Of being in league with
the trusts; of having killed the
first and only antitrust bill that
the Arkansas legislature had
ps2,5ed by a decision handed
down from the supreme bench;
accused him of lobbying with the
members of the state legislature
al it's last session for the defe at of
the King antitrust bill, etc., etc.
Yet at the Hot Springs convention
we find Gov. Davis joining hands
with this alleged trust sneared
judge to de feat the only anti
trust candidate before the people
for the presidency, and voting his
friends for the man whom all the
trusts express a willingness to
support. The old adage that
politics makes strange bedfel-
lows was never more forcibly ex-
emplified in this country
