Sloniker Mill Times.

The health ill our neighborhood does not improve very much.
 It seems like a young hospital at MT. Jacob Miller's for the past week. Henry Brown, son of Nr. Fred Brown, deceased, died at the home of Mrs. Sarah Moore Monday morning. after several days illness with slow or malafial fever Age about seventeen. It seems very natural to see the cotton coming to the gin and the log haulers bringing ill logs It looks a little like business.

Report of Grand Jury.

In St. Francis Circuit Court, Septem-
 Der term, 1905.
 We, the Grand Jury, respectfully submit the following report:
 We have been in session six days, during which time we have diligently inquired into all violations of the law coming to our knowledge, in pursuance of which duty we have examined forty-one (41) witnesses, from whose evidence we have found eighteen 1s) indictments, fifteen (15) for felony and three (3) for misdemeanors and have discharged nine (9) cases.
 A committee from our body visited the poor house, submitting the fol- lowing report: We found five (5) in- mates, four t4) women and one N man, of which two are colored. We found the house in which paupers are kept to be in bad condition, and very much i'll need of repairs, especially as winter is coming on: but paupers say they are we'll cared for and well fed.
 We visited the county jail in body and found everything in good condi- tion; prisoners confined report they are well cared for, but we find that the cells are too small, and badly crowded and we would most respect fully recommend an extension of iron bars on north side to wall. and bath tub installed, as the prisoners haven't sufficient room for exercise, and owing to the crowded condition the sanita- tion is very unsatisfactory, and not as good as should be.
 From the magistrates transcripts filed with us We found they were made according to law, but we find from the cases coming before the Grand Jury, that some fall short of their duty in trying and disposing of cases coming before them. and we would most re- spectfully recommend that they be more careful in their investigations and bind no person or persons over unless they have strong grounds to believe they can be convicted in the trial court.
 We find from the report of the com missionerS of accounts, and from con- sulting the county clerk, that the va rious officials have made their reports according to law; we also find the con- dition Of the county in good shape financially.
 In concluding our report we wish tc thank all the officials of the court with whom we have come in contact in the performance of our duties fol courtesies extended us and the willing ness to assist Us at all times.
 Respectfully submitted.

Are You Engaged?

Engaged people should remember, that, after marriage, many quarrels can be avoided, by keeping their di- gestions in good condition with Flee tric Bitters. $. A. Brown, of Ben nettsville, s. C., says: sFor years. my wife suffered intensely from dyspep- sia, complicated with torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vigor, and became mere wreck of her for mer self. Then she tried Electric Bltters, which helped her at once, and finally made her entirely well. She is now strong and healthy" All drug glsts sell and guarantee them, at 50c bottle.

Pain rom Burn Promptly Re heved by Chamberlatn's Pain
 Balm

A little child of Michael Strauss. of vernon, Conn., was recently in great pain from q burn on the hand. and as cold applications only increased the inflammation, Mr Strauss came 10 Mr. James N. Nichols, local mer. chant, for something to stop the pain. MT. Nichols says: "I advised him to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm. and the first application drew out the inflam- nation and gave immediate relief, I have used this linimem myself and recommend it very often for cuts burns, strains and lame back. and have never known it to disappoint." :" For sale by j.

Report of Commissioners of
 Accounts.

In the St. Francis Circuis Court. Sep
 tember term 1905.
 To Hon. II. N. Hutton, Judge of the
 First Judicial District of Arkansas.
 The undersigned commissioners of accounts for St. Francis county sub init the following report:
 We have carefully examined and checked over all the business of the county court since the last report by our predecessors, and compared the list of claims with the written record and the allowances and compared and checked over all the warrants with the settlements of the officers and find they agree. And we have after such examination destroyed all the can celed warrants as required by law, viz: County General Fund ......S l4.Ssl II Sinking Fund d.............. ll3 Is Court House Fund. ........ l.0S9 Is District School Fund. ..... 2O,553 2s Common School Fund. ..... l9 90 Road and Bridge Fund -. 7,436 If Bonds and Coupons. ........ 5000 00
 And find complete list of all of said warrants made and kept by the county clerk in Records of Warrants Cancelled, book A, at pages 25S-295, which we hereby adopt as part of this report, and refer to it in lieu of mak- ing an extra list of said warrants.
 Me lind that the collecting officers have accounted for all that has come to their hands, except two or three constables' accounts that have not been adjusted but which we are as sured will be done in d few days.
 The collection of taxes and settle ment Of same was prompt and emi- nently satisfactory, proper receipts filed and all the collectors accounts balanced. And we find as shown by the financial statement just published by the clerk, that the county is in better condition than ever before. with funds in the treasury to pay all expenses for the current year, showing that our affairs have been carefully | and ably administered.
 We find that the magistrates of the county make prompt and intelligent | reports as required by law, thus aid ing the clerk to keep all such business well in hand.

Unprofitable Feeding

Intelligent stock raiSers know that a certain amount of feed is necessary to keep an animal alive. They might feed that amount as long as it lives. and il would never gain pound.
 There is no profit in that kind of feeding. The kind that pays is the kind that builds flesh rapidly. If it takes twenty pounds of food each day to keep sheep alive, twenty-five pounds a day will make il gain flesh. It's the extra five that brings the profit. The first five pounds amounts to nothing, nor does the second or third or fourth five pounds
 It's the same way with advertising. You have to do'a certain amount to overcome the resistance of the public.
 You have to do Il certain amount of advertising to make them wake up to the fact that you are in business at all. 4Aou have to pay certain amount to keepEour advertising alive. What you pay above that amount brings profit
 Some advertisers fail because they do not use enough space. They Use barely enough To make the adyertis- ing self-sustaining \ little bit more would make it profitable. It is better to advertise little too much than not quite enough Charles Aus | tin Bates.
 Some of our advertisers could ell large their space with profit.

Tariff Revision Unlikely,

If the Republicans intended to re-
wise the tariff at the coming session
Of congress they would not elect Mr..
Cannon speaker Of the house Of rep
resentatives, for he is an ardent stand
patter. Any bill on tariff or making
any change in the event laws is re-
ferred to the committee on ways and
means, and the speaker has the ap-
pointment OF all committees, and will
surely appoint a majority Of that com
mittee, by whom tariff bills will be
considered, who are opposed to med
ding with the trust fostering tariff.
Those Republicans who have for some
years looked to their party to reform
the inequalities Of the tariff will have
to be patient at least two years longer
and pay their tariff and trust tax
through the high prices of about all
they buy. Perhaps some of them may
discover in time that the only tariff
revision the Republican party is at
all likely to make is to revise the
tariff higher.

WIDE AWAKE WORKERS.,
Take a Fling at the Rotten Peach
and Infamous Elephant.

Take a Fling at the Rotten Peach
and famo Elephant.
Organized labor in New York city
has evidently become Disguised with
the bribery and corruption Of the Re-
publican party. At a recent meeting
Of the Central Federated union, which
includes representatives Of all the fed
Grated labor unions in the city, the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
That we express our Severest condem-
nation Of the conditions prevailing in the
Office Of the state superintendent of in
surance al Albany, who withheld from
the public the truthful state Of affairs Of
the gigantic steal, and that we call upon
the "joker," Chauncey NJ. Depew, as the
representative of the Empire State in the
national legislative halls, to resign his Of
flee because of the criminal part he play
ed in connection with this case. Organ
lied labor regards the peach as belong
ing to a rotten political species, who has
been trampling upon the rights Of the
people while he himself has been seated
safely on the infamous elephant.
That the star Republican orator
should be designated as a rotten peach
is bad enough, but that the elephant,
the symbol of the party, should be
styled as infamous shows that these
workingmen are wide awake to the rot
tenness and grating that now possess
the G. O.. 2. The times would seem
to be getting ripe for a political revo-
luton when such a resolution can be
unanimously passed by any body of
citizens composed of members Of all
political parties.

Demoralfzed Republicans.

How demoralized the Republican
party has become is shown by the
proposition Of Cecil \. Lyon, national
committeeman from Texas, proposing
that the Republicans Of the southern
states form a syndicate to wrest from
Republican presidential candidates
promises Of official patronage before
voting for them. 1t is presumed that
the highest bidder will get the bunch.
They will demand at least two cabinet
positions AID other offices in proper
ton. This is graft pure and simple,
and, although the leaders from the
northern states have not openly organ
lied to receive bids, they will without
doubt deal on a similar basis with the
candidate that receives their support.
1t national committeeman, the highest
officials in the organization, are openly
grafters, what can be expected of their
partisan followers, who also hope to be
rewarded?

Roosevelt Might Know.

Cornelius Bliss, treasurer Of the Re
publican national committee, declares
it is an entirely improper question
whether the Equitable Assurance So
ciety contributed 100000 to the Re
publican national committee last year.
1t strikes us as decidedly embarrass-
ing, and Of course Mr.. Bliss could
not answer it, or Mr.. Corteiyou either,
for that matter. Ask President RooSe-
welt. He kept in close touch with the
conduct Of the campaign.

THE CHINA TRUST.
It's Enormous Profits Through Tariff
Protection

Under the Republican protective tar
III trusts are still b%..!g fostered. The
latest combine is the china trust which
Philadelphia capitalists have lust Or
ganized with a capital of $4O,O 0 600,
q partial combine having been in eX-
istence for many years. AS common
e~arthenware is protected with an i'm
port duty of % per cent adj valorem
II plain porcelain by a duty of So per
cent and decorated porcelain by Il duty
OF 60 per cent, it will be seen that for
elgn competitors against the trust have
to pay an premium to be al
lowed to sell thei goods here. When
you buy German or French or English
china over one-half the price is the
tariff tax, and when you buy the Amer
lean trust made china the profit the
trust makes in consequence of the tar
if protection is about the same. The
foreign manufacturers of china make a
profit Oh what they sell to us before
paying the tariff tax to get in their
goods. They must also pay the freight,
| NAiAA 10 liz Slldll lltll, ana vet SO
cheaply can earthenware and china be
manufactured that these foreign man
ufacturers a export to the United
States and to some extent compete
with the trust.
Now, if after paying all these charges
Of tariff duty, freight and the profit
Of the importer, the foreign manufac-
turer can make a profit, how much
must the trust make? The trust has no
ocean freight to pay, no tariff duty to
pay Of over so per cent on the value,
and yet it charges nearly as much for
its products as the foreigner does that
pays all these costs before it's products
reach the American buyer.
II the tariff was reduced one-half on
earthenware and china the price Of the
foreign article would fall about 25 per
cent and the price Of the trust made
china would have to be reduced in like
proportion.

At Government Expense.

And now the weather bureau is
under the X rays Of investigation, with
charges of grating at Mount Weather
station, which appears to be a kind of
summer resort for the entertainment Of
Professor Willis Moore and his friends
on the Blue Ridge near Washington.
How much Of this entertainment the
government pays for will not be dis
covered until Il thorough investigation
is completed.

SDaSIlS of Virtue.

Senator Cullom of Illinois is urging
his party associates to economics, yet
he has been voting for all the extrava-
giant expenditures that the Republican
party has been guilty Of. Perhaps
Senator Cullom's spasm Of virtue may
be induced because he is a candidate
for reelection next year. There are a
dozen or moro Republican senators in
the same boat, who are helping to
train the sails to catch Il favoring
breeze of popular approval.

Tread Toward Democracy.

the wage earners Of that city have be-
come tired and Disguised with the &C.
tons of the Republican bosses. There
will be an excellent opportunity this
some political leaders in Buffalo a
wholesome lesson and then continues
by describing an example of Repub-
lican ro%ttenness. In Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts
and other states similar conditions
seem to prevail, and the trend is every
where toward the Democracy where 1t
shows a determination to push re-
forms.

He Needs the Money,

1t has not yet been reported that
Elihu Root. secretary Of state. has
given up his position as attorney for

with Secretary Taft that federal sal
aries are much too low and needs the
trust money to make both ends meet.

The moral health of the public serv-

for the mileage graft 1t was virtually

As to RRilrOnd Rates.

II any one thinks that high railroad
rates do not affect him he may change
his mind when he knows that in 1908
the average freight paid by each per-
son in the United States amounted to
$1G.7o. So the average family Of five
pay $S3.6O as their share OF the trans
portation charges, and vet the Rcpub-
lican leaders don't want to regulate
railroad rates.
