LETTER TO MIR. R. F. DRUM
 MOND, NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got our agent at Delhi, N. Y. Gladstone & Paine were agents for ---, we mustn't tell names. We wanted lem. Paine was painting his big Colo nial house. Said it took 10 gal Ions of white for the trim.
 We sent him ten gallons and said: if you get it all on, no pay; if you have any left, return it and pay for the rest. Agreed.
 He returned four gallons and and took the agency. Four or five years ago. He knows now that his old paint was and is adulter- ated; that's why it took ten gal Ions to equal six of ours.
 Go by the name; there is but one name to go by; Devoe lead- and-zinc.
 Yours truly,

 Why those young men from Newport never visit Grand Glaize without smelling like whisky barrel and are always looking for bees?
 Why OH Estell quit a job that paid $3 a day to put up at Grand Glaize?
 Why some people think Dr. Bentley is running the mercan- tile business at Olyphant?
 Why there is not some good reason for transporting Fred Wood to Island 66 until Jim Eos ter can establish himself with Miss Bertha?
 Why that young man on the Joe Wheeler last Sunday that was calling for Waterman so loudly could not see himself as |others saw him? We feel sure |his free exhibition would have stopped before it began.

VIII Secure Counsel and Test
The Peonage Laws.

Triton, Ga. April IA mass
meeting of Triton citizens was
held in the city court hall for the
purpose of taking action on the
peonage case of S. M. Clyatt,
which has been certified by the
United States circuit court of
appeals in New Orleans to the
United States supreme court for
information. This case, as al
ready mentioned in these col
umus, is the first conviction in
many years under the United
States peonage laws, and arose
from Mr.. Clyatt having two neg
roes who had left his employ ar
rested in Florida under warrants
from this state on charges of
gambling and larceny. Five
thousand dollars is reported to
have been pledged towards secur-
ing the best legal talent in the
country to see that Mr.. Clyatt's
side of the case was properly
presented to the supreme court.
An effort will be made to employ
Mr.. Elihu Root.
Every turpentine operator and
saw mill man, as we'll as every
one employing labor in this sec
ton, feels that they are affected
by Judge Swayne's construction
of this law, and take a vital in
terest in.the case.

JUDGE W. c. WORRILL'S
SUPPORT OF PARKER.
Gives the Reason Why the New York
JuriSt Should Command the Conf.
denCe of the Country.

Cuthbert, Ga, April 1O.-Col.
w. c. Worrill, of Cuthbert, is
we'll known as a lawyer of learn
ing and man of keen political
judgment. why are you so
strong for Parker?" the Tele-
graph correspondent asked of
Col. Worrill, as he sat in his law
Office amid his books and papers.
Because he is the man the oc-
casion demands. We need a
great lawyer for president. A
great lawyer, one learned in the
law, has profound respect for
law. BY habit, by research, by
study, by thought, by practice
he learns to reverence the law.
He looks to the law for order.
A great lawyer does not Jump
at conclusions. He looks to pre-
cedents-he examines into ques-
tions. He puts the law and the
constitution above himself. He
has high sense of the dignity
of law. 1t is not the great lawyer
who sets aside the constitution
pushes aside congress and acts
on his own motion. The man
who does this is not great law
yer. He may be bright, but he
is ephemeral-a creature of to-
day-one thing today-tomorrow
you know not what to expect.
He is not deep, conservative
thinker. We need the opposite
of Roosevelt. We need a man
like an English judge-who has
profound reverence for the laws,
for usuage, for precedent-who
knows the laws and obeys them
who understands our system
OF government and knows how to
protect it. Judge Parker's very
training makes him a safe man.
You cannot make a strenuous
character like Roosevelt out of
him. He is already the opposite;
has the qualities of conservatism
and steadiness, and carries Dig
nifty to his office; a man of equi.
poise of temperament; an ideal
official; the very per contra of
Roosevelt.
