The Fisherman's Song.

Whole armfuls of the atmosphere
You'd like to hold an hug,
When the fish is in the river
An the bait is in the jug;
When you're off there, in the blossoms
Just half mile from town,
An the fishin' pole is noddin
An the cork's a-goin' down!
You're at peace with ever mortal
Beneath a sky O. blue,
With the trees a-sayin' 'Howdy!
AS they wave their boughs to you.
Cares a ripple on the river
In it's crystal flood twill drown
While the f1shin pole is nodd1n
An the cork's a-goin' down.

TEN YEARS FOR o. ]. ALLISON

Arkansas City, Oct. 1.-The case of 0. J. Allison reached the jury at 2:4O Saturday afternoon. Mr. PindaII closed his argument for the defense at 1:40, and Judge Jones then>elosed for the state.
 The jury were out five hours and ten minutes before an agree ment was reached, at which time they returned into court the fol- lowing verdict;
 We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder in the second de- gree. and assess his punishment at ten years in the penitentiary."
 The defendent filed motion for new trial, which was over ruled. He was allowed until the first day of the next term of court in which to file his bill of excep- tions. The defendant waived the forty-eight hours to which he was entitled and sentence was passed upon him.
 Judge Grace instructed the sheriff that the prisoner, on ac- count of the insecurity of the jail, be delivered to the penitentiary within three days from date, of sentence.
 The verdict was not a popular one. The consensus of opinion was that justice was not meted out in the case.

COTTON IS BEING
 RAPIDLY PICKED

Following Is the government bureaus summary of crop condi- tions in Arkansas for the week ending October 17:
 The week was characterized by warm; clear days and cool nights with an almost total absence of rain. Cotton is opening nicely and Tn many sections is nearly all open. Picking has been carried on without interruption and a con- siderable portion of the crop has been picked, ranging from fifteen to twenty-five per cent in the northeast section to sixty to seven ty-tve per cent in the southwest section. The yield is very satis- factory In the northeast portion of the state, elsewhere not so satis- factory. Corn is being gathered
 
 generally and in the more sontb- ern counties the bulk of the crop has been gathered. The yields se- cured have generally been good for the early corn and very poor for the late. Late potatoes and turnips are poor crops, owino to a lack of moisture; sweet potatoes are fair to good. Some wheat has been sown in the northern nortion of the state and that which was planted ten or fifteen days aoo is coming up to a good stand Mnch less than the usual amount of fall blowing has been done, as the ground has been too hard from continued drouthy conditions Pastul~ are drying up; however. stock IS generally doing very we'll.

THE RED MANS COUNTRY
Former Resident of Newark Writes Interesting Letter From Land of the Red Man.
Muskogee, l. T., October IT.

Muskogee, l. T., October IT. To the Dear Old Home Paper:
 As l have drifted out West among the Indians, I enclose you a portrait of the principal chief of the Creek Nation, Gen. Pleasant Porter, in his Indian costume. His home is in this Muskogee. He has lovely home with all the modern conveniences and every thing up-to-now. He drives q span of black horses to his beauti- ful carriage.
 Last week was pay week with the loyal Creeks, and something over 5000 day was paid out. One woman received check on Uncle Sam for S1, ,486. 8. They had a large tent with ropes stretch ed around 1t to keep the Indians out until their names were called. All ages met there. One woman who claimed to be. 125 years old said she could remember when they were happily located in old Alabama.
 As so many of the Newark peo- pie have asked me about the rail- roads and school out here, 1 will answer; there are seven railroads in Muskogee and we have four public school buildings and three colleges. And as to negroes, you scarcely ever see one that cannot read and write.
 Do not think that the peo- pie here do not attend church. The boys of Newark would be sur- prised to see so many young men going to Sunday school and church, instead of sitting around on dry goods boxes indulging in idle gossip.
 Yet l love my old native town, and trust l may see the time when our boys will rise above the aver age.
 With love to your many read CTS, am the same

THE WHITE RIVER ROAD
Work Progressing Rapidly and Trains Will Soon be Running to Keen
 CT, Boone County.

Harrison, Oct. 17.-Work is being pushed rapidly on the White River Railroad, and 1t Is thought that trains will be running up to keener, in this county, some time in next month. From the north, track is laid to Galena, Mo-. at which place they will have to construct a large steel bridge across the James river. The 34, ,000 foot tunnel at camp co near the Missouri line, has been completed. It is thought that the contractors will get daylight through the Omaha tunnel at camp "B" this week. This tunnel has been in mud and boulders most of the way and has been a far greater ex- pense than any other tunnel on the line. 1t is estimated that this D. 600 feet will cost the company S375, 900. It is believed that as soon as the main line is completed a line will be built from Keener to Harrison, connecting with the St. Louis and North Arkansas.

PROPER TREATMENT OF PNEU.
MONIA.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the pro-
per remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. 1t should be
borne In mind, however, that pneu.
nomia always results from a cold or
from an attack of the grip, and that by
giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
the threatened attack Of pneumonia
may be warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DR..
w. j. Smith. OF Sanders, Ala who Is
also q druggist, says of it: 81 have been

A Little Mans Big Boom.

Some weeks ago we made light of
the Willie Hearst boom. Now We take
it seriously. The salaried Hearst agents,
sent down from the North, have been
making an Industrious campaign in
the South. 1t is the policy of the
Hearst men among Southern Democrats
''to lie low and keep mum" at this
time. We shall not be surprised If,
when the county conventions meet to
send delegates to the South Carolina
Democratic Convention, tickets of
Hearst delegates are voted for. One of
the Hearst agents has visited Laurens
at least twice. 1t is reasonable to as
sumo, inasmuch as nothing has been
done in any other candidates. interest,
that his visits will have results. We
naturally suspect that he has set forces
to work that will be heard from in our
county convention. Meanwhile, we are
not to be understood as rejecting upon
or condemning any n IL this proves
true. 1t is Mr.. Willie Hearst's right
to hire a gentleman to come to Lau-
rens and "work up sentiment for him"
Equally it is the undoubted right of q
Laurens Democrat to turn q willing
ear to the hired man and to help him
"whoop up" the said Willie Hearst.
Willie Hearst will not be nominated,
however, in st. Louis. Should he be,
it would be construed as equivalent to
surrender by the National Democracy
without firing a gun: Willie Hearst
has millions of dollars and is an ex-
cellent spender. For all we know he Is
a respectable, well behaved young gen.
tleman of average intelligence and edu-
cation. He has not at any time said
anything or done anything or thought
anything to convince any man that he
is fit for the presidency. The county of
Laurens has men of more ability and
more reputation for ability than Willie
Hearst. But Willie Hearst has many Of
the brightest minds in this county in his
employ. If, they don't succeed In fool
Ing MANY men in South Caroline, it
will be very strange.

We desire to affirm that the late

in history unapproached by its prede-

Who Runs May Q

No, we do not urge the prohibition
lists to vote the d~ispensary out Of Lau-
ems. We do not advise them to make
a campaign. AT present we ''stand
pat" We merely point out that IL the
prohibitionists are In earnest Ia their
opposition to the ~dispensary they me-
cessarily will make 3 campaign. Other
wise what they say will be laughed at
by the dispeDsary's friends as vapor"
tngs, idle nonsense. From q prohibit
tion standpoint it is no argument
against their cause hat the county
would derive no evenu from whiskey
sold in other counties. The prohibit
tionists do not covet whiskey ven
Nor could or would they consistently
object to being taxed q reasonable
amount to employ constables for max
ing prohibition effective. The Brice
Law gives the counties local option as
between dIspensary and prohibition
under conditions quite as favorable as
have ever existed anywhere. Indeed,
the hall mill tax Is a distinct advan-
tage to the prohibition cause aud more
Than it enjoyed before the dispensary
system. La those days when q county
voted itself "dry" nc means of obtain
ing constables to keep 1t dry was pro-
vided. The half mill tax provides an
economical weapon to make prohibit
tion prohibit.
If the prohibitionists do not endesvor
to vote out the dtspensaries in this and
other counties, under the provisions OF
the Brice law, then the conclusion will
be fair, legitimate and inevitable that
there are no prohibitionists. That is
all "there is to It,"
a dispensary man may be q tee-total-
Ter and a sincere advocate of temper
ance No dispsnsary man is a prohi-
b%itlonist. A probibisionist is a man
opposed to permitting the sale of in
toxicauts legally or illegally. The State
of South Carolina is q dealer in wines.
beers and liquors just as is any bar
keeper in Augusta, Ga. The difference
is in the method Of selling and in that
