The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1905-02-04

1t was generally conceded last
week and was so published in our
papers that had sold my drug bust
ness to Mr. w. r. Appleton, of War
rem, Ark but a partial inventory re-
vealed the fact that the stock was
so large and varied that the latter
decided he was not master of the
situation and the deal was mutually
declared off. Mr. Appletonis a thor
ough druggist and fine business man,
and regret my inability to sell to
him | will continue the business at
the old stand and invite all of my
old customers to continue their pat
ronage together with all the new
ones can get by strict attention to
business and fair dealing to all,
] have not words strong enough
to express my appreciation for the
patronage, esteem and good will |
have received at the hands of those
who have so nobly stood by me dur
ing my business career of more than
fifteen years in your midst. You
have placed me second TO none in
my line in this part of the state.
Thanking you for past favors and
asking a continuance of the same,
| am very respectfully,
l.. A. SAFFER.

see, and was about 60 years old.
She was Miss Alice Lawrason. They
were married in Mississippi, and af-
forwards removed to Mountain

the early SOS to Harrison. When
Col. Upton was appointed state
treasurer the family removed to Lit
itle Rock. She is survived by her
husband and seven children, all of
whom, were at the bedside when the
expected end came Her children are

remains in the Harrison Cemetery

The boys are having lots of fun
skating, and hunting rabbits
Everything is quiet in a social way

The laying of the corner stone of

Several of our citizens have been
talking of a canning factory for this
place, The enterprise is a good one,
a4d should be pushed without delay.
We cannot afford to neglect our
school interests Let us go right on
and build up an Academy or high
school. The times demand 1t. Why
should our young people be required
to go away to other schools at an
enormous cost, to pursue their
studies. LoGos.

The Missouri Pacific Coming.

The Springfield Leader asks, "Will
the Missouri Pacific extend their
Springfield line on to Little Rock ?"
This is a question which isagitating
the minds of many Arkansas people
There is at this time party of sur
veyors near Omaha in this county
making what is thought to be sur
veys for connection to thenorthward
with Springfield. 1t is intimated
that this is not all of the movement,
and that the road will pass on south
ward to Harrison, and possibly to
Little Rock Such a road would be
difficult Of construction, but would
reach unoccupied territory for al
most its entire length.

Extension OF the St. l.. &N. A. Road.

saws, the first tangible move to-
wards the extension of the st. L. &
N. A. Ry southwark, is being made
in the office of Chief Engineer S. W..
Lee, who is making preparations to
put a corps of surveyors in the field
below Leslie early next week.
From Leslie to Little Rock is quite
a difficult country for railroad CON
structiou, and some uniavorable re
ports have been made by those who
have gone over it. 1t is the general
opinion, however, among railroad
men, that the best route through
that part of the state has not vet
been surveyed. Mr.. Ice, who has
been through the country frequently,
is going down there again in n few
DAYS for the purpose Of ascertaining
what the best route may be, He is
favorably impressed with the coun-
try. especially of the south end, but
fully appreciates the difficulties
which are presented by its contour

The Real Smoke Issue.

There is nothing in the current contro-
yersy over the enforcement OF the Smohe
law to warrant a belief in any weli-inform-
ed mind that a contention is active mere Ill
Washington between one set of people VINO
want the city to be smoky and another set
of people who want it to be freed OF smoke.
There is virtually division of sentiment
among the people of the District on that
subject The hope of all is that the smoke
nuisance may be reduced to minimum.
Those who contend for the amendment
of the existing law do so on the grouno
that they are the real enemies OF the
smoke evil, in that they are endeaVorlhs
to make the law enforcible and effective,
by eliminating from it the element OF IN
Justice that will always interfere with
it's being carried out according to It's terms.
If II is impossible to comply with law 1t
is equally impossible to enforce it thorough
~.
Yesterday in the Police Court while sew
eral smoke cases were being tried one juror
asked to be excused from further duty on
the ground that he regarded the law as
burdensome, the prosecuting officer de-
clared that no matter how obnoxious the
law may be, it must be enforced, while the
presiding judge advised the jury:
at does not matter whether it was dense
or thick or gray smoke that came from the
stack. or whether it was emitted for a
second or an hour, the defendant is guilty.
In spite of an injustice SO palpable as to
draw from juror, prosecutor and even judge
protests and semi-apologies in the course
of the application of the law. there is re-
sistance in some quarters to the slightest
change in the wording of the statute, even
he nrOnnSeH amendment will c1aa r1v
make the law more reasonable and more eff
fectve. One might almost think that our
anti-smoke law was hedged about with the
sanctity and untouchableness of Dingley
tariff.
All that is proposed now is to amend the
law so that it shall not make law breakers
of those whose chimneys emit dense smoke
for few seconds; that 1t shall assure the
punishment of the real offenders and relieve
from the stigma of aw-breaking those now
technically guilty of immaterial offenses by
providing a definite period OF unpunishable
smoke emission, with a limit to the hourly
or daily number of such emissions. As the
bill now pending in the Senate was passed
by the House of Representatives, this period
of lawful smoke emission was stated at
three minutes In some cities it is fixed at
five minutes. But whatever the period, 1t
should be ascertained through investigation
into the practical conditions, and not
guessed at, and when determined it should
be written definitely into the law. Then 1t
can be rigidly and severely applied to the
real offenders, with the hearty approval of
practically the entire community.
Such law, thus enforced would be far
more potential in the protection of the city
from the smoke nuisance than Is the pres
ent sweeping provision which makes law
breakers of everybody in the business COM
munity.

Those people at a distance who are writ
ing and wiring senators and representatives
as II In state of trepidation on the sub
Ject of tariff revision and railroad rates
are betraying good deal of ignorance as to
the situation, or else are playing our
statesmen for suckers. No earthly harm is
calculated by, or could issue FROM any
proposition on either subject so far as the
business world is concerned, but only ad-
Justments which many of the most emf
nent business men are advocating. But
have these people not heard of the dangers
OF playing with fire; of the perils Of sound
ing false alarms? Do they not know that
by systematic affectation of uneasiness
they may produce the very results they
are discoursing about? Is there a move
ment on foot to influence Congress by these
stupid. or reckless means?

More Views Against the Lash.

Today The Star offers another showing of
public opinion on the subject of the whip
ping post as remedy for wife beating, in
the form of a symposium of letters and In
terviews giving the views of men and wom-
en- of Washington. These expressions are
with few exceptions strongly in opposition
to the adoption of the lash as a punish
ment. Testimony as to the effect of whip
ping In prisons is also given. indicating that
penologists have found such brutal methods
ineffective, even provoking demoralizing
conditions among the wards of the state.
An amusing feature of this series of ex-
pressions is a reproduction of an old song
which voices the sentiment of the strenuous
wife. Thus is the other side of the case
turned to view.
