WAY NOTES.
To The Newark Journal:

To The Newark Journal
 May goth l came to Viola Hill and preached at Fair View. This is where 1 had my first religious debate, when a mere boy in the ministry, but these people have not forgotten me. Imet EId. S l.. Cochran, whom a number of your readers know, as he was on the circuit at Sulphur Rock some years ago, 1 remained here and preached until Monnay night. Bro. Sam Ballard is the pastor at this place, but he was not present as he had made arrangements to preach at another place while the missionary preached here. 1 had not visited this church for 15 or 20 years. There are not many people here now that l used to know. Some have died, others have moved away, and those who were children then, have grown up and have families. Sunday, May 22, there was large congre- gation, though the weather looked threatning. It was their commun- ion day, so l gave them sermon on that subject, using my charts. 1 preached again at night to a good congregation.
 l met a number of old friends of other days, but most of the bur- den bearers when 1 was here have passed away, but they have left a lot of young people who will take their place both in church and state.
 Owing to the rain we had to abandon the rest of our trip, so Bro. Sherrell and l bid each other goodbye, and each turned towards home. l will say Bro. Sherrell is a splendid co-laborer, and I have enjoyed his association very much.
 1 came back by Franklin, got my mother and brought her home to spend while with my family. 1 also preached at Cave City on my way home. This town is grow ing rapidly. They have a fine school and are building q splendid school house. While there 1 form ed the acquaintance of the editor of the Cave City Progress.

GOVERNOR JEFF DAVIS UpHOLDS
 THE FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS
Says Organization For Mutual Protection is Right and He Would Pardon any Farmer Convicted
 of Violating the Antitrust Law

led to the establishment of this, the greatest republic upon the face of the earth today. In Boston some tea was thrown overheard. the patriots rebeIled against the mother country, a war ensued, and liberty followed.
 Mr. Price says that actual war, that actual bloodshed will follow any determined organization of the farmers to emancipate them selves. 1 pray God that this may not happen.
 WOULD KEEP PARDONs ON ICE.
 ''I know that the farmers of Arkansas are not violating any antitrust law. Any lawyer knows that for the farmers to agree to plant less cotton this year than they planted last year, or to not gorge the markets, IS not a trust, and have told them all over my state that if they should become involved in trouble for transact ions of this kind under our anti trust law I would have pardon on ice waiting for them, ana l mean it. In Arkansas we are in this fight to win, and | trust that Texas will help us. The South has monopoly given by God, by the god of nature, of the cotton markets of the world, and she has foolishly allowed the other fellow to fix the prices. The trouble IS now that the farmer is determined to fix the prices by diversifying his crops, living at home, and rais- ing only a sufficient amount of cot ton as will meet the law of supply and demand, and marketing 1t in such way as to command the highest prices obtainable This is right, this is legitimate, and no valid objection can be urged to 1t. PROSPERITY THROUGH LEGISLATION.
 l used to think, Mir. Editor. that prosperity could not be legis- lated into the country, but l am sure now that this contention is wrong. 1 am sure that if our con- gressmen and Senators had passed the Hatch anti-option bill and made gambling in the products of the soil a felony, that there would have been no war today between the bulls and bears to control the markets of the world. There would have been no war today in which fictitious cotton, grain and meat is sold against the real pro- ducts of the farm, thereby control ing the markets of the world. And while I say to the farmer, do not engage in politics, yet l would say make your congressman and your senators pass such a law as this. When this shall have been done then the very life of this op- position and of this fight to control the prices of the products of the farm will end, and without this legislation the task is difficult.
 Arkansas sends greetings to Texas; Arkansas wants to clasp hands with her sister state, and with our shoulders together and our hearts in unison, let us never cease fighting until this battle for the good of mankind is won"

The last issue of Farm and Ranch, one of the best farmers papers published in the South, con tained the following article writ ten by Governor Davis of Arkan- sas.
 Seeing that you are thoroughly in sympathy with the great indus trial fight that is being waged in the interest of that class of our citizenship who produce the wealth of the world, namely, the farmers, l thought that if you would spare me the space in your paper, l would like to commend your course and to extend to the farm. CTS of Texas greetings from Ark ansas, and say to them that if they will but stand steadfast in this fight that q glorious victory Is as- sured.
 I would not array one class of citizens against another. We need them all; we need the mer- chant, the banker, the lawyer, the railroad magnate, but, above all, we need the farmer, because he Is the producer of the wealth of the world. He is the burden-bearer of the world: he produces those things we must all have, the things upon which we all subsist, and l know of no law, either legal or moral, that would compel him to produce these things for a less sum than will return to him fair profit for his labor. This fight that the farmer is engaged in today, if successfully waged will benefit us all, because if the man at the bottom, who Is the basic
 
 rock, the foundation stone upon which this republic is builded, is prosperous and happy, then we will all be prosperous and happy.
 Prosperity should not descend from a favored few to the wretch ed many, but 1t should ascend from the lowest to the highest. Then we will have prosperity in- deed, such as will bring profit and blessings to mankind. The war fare in which the farmer Is engag- ed in today is q warfare to control the price of his products. This can only be done by honest, con- secrated, intelligent organization; organization not for political pur- poses, not to destroy his brother, but organization to control the price of the things which the far mer grows; which the farmer pro- duces. He has & right to do this, and if he does not do 1t he has no one to blame but himself.
 OPENING GUN FIRED AT BOSTON.
 But we are told by one Theo- dore Price, of Boston, said to be an eminent lawyer in the East, in recent address delivered by him there, that if the farmers of the South combine to control the price of the products they raise, they are violating the trust laws, es- pecially in Arkansas.
 MT. Editor, 1t is little remark able that the first gun fired oppos- ing the emancipation of the far mer, the lifting of him from under the burden of bondage, should be fired at Boston, Mass. This IS 8 war for commercial emancipation, this Is d war for commercial liber- 1 ty, this Is war not with flesh and blood. not with shot and shell, but 1t is a war against Mammon; 1t Is war against money, against soul less merciless combinations; war that would grind the farmer and his children into dust, and I say 1t

Who Owns the Pearl :?

A very strange casa has come before the German courts. A woman taking dinner in restaurant found in one of the oysters served her pearl, which has been variously valued at from S400 to $750. The proprietor claimed that this was his property, the woman re. fused to give it up, aud the courts were asked to decide Wal was .ue law ful owner. The restaurant keeper ar gued that bones and shells are by tra- ditional custom left in the restaurant by it's patrons, and that these articles furnish a source of profit to the pro. prietor. Whether or not the courts will take his view of the matter is a question yet to be decided. If they do, and the woman hi1 swallowed the peBrl, We suppose that she could have been arrested for larceny. How would it be had she broken one of her teeth by biting the pearl Would the proprietor be liable for damages for having served hec with such an oyster? All these are questions which might arise in case of this character which has, we believe, no parallel iu the German courts, possibly none in those of any other country. Boston Herald

RAILWAY SIGNAL DEVICE
Invention of Denver Man It Is Claimed
 Win Prevent Accidents

Dr. T. II. Traylor of Denver, Colo, has invented railway signaling de. vice to prevent wrecks says the News It will prevent many heartache and ward of sorrow from every household If what it's inventor claims for it proves 1 true.
 For less than $l00 mile every rail road in the world may be safeguarded against collisions, headend or rearend according to the claims of pr. Traylor. Thus the nemesis of the railroad man will be forever downed.
 Simple in the extreme is the inveu- tion of Dr. Traylor. It is upon that he relies to secure it's adoption by al- most every railroad iu the United States. In the integral part it con sists of an electric bell which, placed above the engineers seat in an engine cab, rings out loud alarm whenever his train is in danger of collision with another train within from half mile to two miles.
 Dr. Traylor's plan is to wire the rails of road. At stated intervals along the line-from half mile to two or three miles. blocks will be installed. | ca the pilot of each locomotive will be fastened a steel brush so placed that they will just touch the blocks. In the cab of each engine will be placed an electric alarm bell.
 Should the track be clear in front or behind an engine for the space of the blocks all will be well. Bat should there be two trains within the section the alarm bells in both cabs will ring until the engineer presses a button which shuts off the current.
 Dr. Traylor also has perfected an ar. rangement whereby such disasters as the Eden wreck of last summer can be prevented. A buoy, witt an cleo. trical attachment, is placed benea tn each bridge. When the water rises to outh nv nv tio OH ShuduSSA UiC odiCty of the structure, the bell in the engine cab will ring when the locomotive is within a half.mile of the bridge Should the bridge be carried away in the flood, the bell will ring just the same.
 The apparatus will be given a thor ough test by railroad operating oul of Denver within the next month Dr. Traylor refuses to tell the name oi the road. He says that he does moi care to exploit his invention until it's efficacy is proved.
 Dr. Traylor has already demonstrat ed the applicability of his device or the Molfit road. Some weeks ago he operated it on stretch of track for a distance of two miles. The alarm sys tenn worked to perfection.
