DENIES BRIBERY CHARGES.
Senator COvington Declares Indict. ments Were Not Based Upon
 Evidence.

Senator A. W. Covineton made the following statement yestsfday in le-
 gard to the charges against him:
 ''I have this plain, simple statement to make m regard 10 the indictments returned by the Pulaski county grand jury:
 .'One indictment charges me with hay ng accepted from Caldwell X Drake S6, 900 as bribe in connection with the passage of the slate capitol hill by the Arkansas state senate.
 "rhe oi her indictment charges that l accepted from Ike Felsenihal Sl,0O0 and gold watch of the Value of Sl25 AS d bribe in connection with the passage of what is known as the Felsenthsl bill before the Arkansas state senate.
 "These twoindic' ments were return. ed by he Pulaski county grand jury. and am prepared to say that in neith- CT case WAS there any evidence of any character to justify the bnd,ng ef such indictments. Nobody testified to any facts connecting me with these matters in a criminal way. and defy the prose- outing attorney to show any records of testimony taken before the grand jury that will in any way iDcriminate me ill connection with bribery or any other official misconduct of d criminal nature. And further charge that the tive Tn dictments were voted upon and return ed by the grand jury at the request of MT Rhoton, the prosecuting attorney, without evidence, but upon his asSur- ance that if the indictments were found he would take chances of conviction.
 II leave It to an unbiased and unpre- judiced public as to whether should be singled out as target and indicted without testimony, 10 the injury of whatever reputation and good name may possess, or that or others should be indicted and dragged before the courts just for the simple purpose of giving notorle,y to an occasion and to satify the spleen of those who could not use me for their own purposes. l de- mand an immediate trial, and there is no question about my acqnittal

FulwoOd Times.

Health in this community is good. Old Jupiter Pluvius has given us rest for few days, and farm work is progressing nicely. Every farmer and his whole family has joined in the war upon weeds and crab grass. They will have to hustle to get ahead of General Green.
 Well, hurrah for Fulwood and New Castle The new telephone line con- meeting these two points and Forrest City was completed Tuesday. and is now in operation. We are hustlers when We want to be. and we can now do our own talking. and our own ly- ing, and tell the truth when we get ready The company is composed of good men. We gave one man free telephone, He has il up at MT. Pir- ties store. IL is made of an oyster can. He got a severe shock d few days ago because he did not under stand the combination. It was our friend Jim Swan. Everybody likes Jim. He k good fellow. and we were sorry 10 hear of his bad luck.

Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton says he started his investigation of boodling Tn the Arkansas legis- lature "before the Killough bill was heard Of" We like to see fair play. We dld not favor the Killougb bill. and we are not fighting Mir. Killough's battles, (though in fact we esteem him, personality but there is a limit to our patience, and we rise to remark that much of the slush that is being dished up by certain newspapers about Killough and his Levee bills is ridiculously exaggerated and

savers of pure dirt. And what thegood oft.

In all seriousness, we say again, if there has been bribe giv- CTS and brlbe takers, perjurers, thieves and rascals in the legisla- ture, let them be punished. But we can scarcely think that Hon. Geo. NJ. Chapline, who has always been considered the very perfect ion of honor and integrity; or these other men, who certainly stand high in the estimation of q ma iority of the voters of their respective counties, else they would not have been members of the legislature, can be guilty of these terrible charges. At any rate we were taught in childhood to be charIt- able, and believe no ill of our neighbors until we had the proof, and much prefer to believe these gentlemen innocent. We shall at least give them the full benefit of a doubt. This much even the law guarantees them, and we would certainly regret to know that they are guilty as charged. It would shake our faith in humanity. We commend Prosecuting Attor- ney Rheton for his performance of duty, but he must not let his in. vestlgations stop with the acts of the political opponents of Cover nor Davis. Let the investigation be thorough and no respector oi persons or political afii iiliations.

night, Secretary Aupperle informs us,
. Two weeks ago but very little worl.
was done. only some bills passed and
applications for membership accept
ed
Last Friday no quorum was pres
ent. owing to the fact that the week
had been crowded with meetings and

turn out, and no work was done. 1t
/ is hoped that a full attendance of the
board can be had this evening and
/ that the members will be on hand
early so that the work can be taken

Mr.. Aupperle states that the valley
I is in line to get some good advertising

( from the Denver K Rio Grande rail

/ five thousand copies of which will be
distributed throughout the United

These statements seemed so remark

vestigate.

convinced him and a taste of our fruit
so pleased him that he promised Sec
rotary Aupperle to give a good write
up of the valley and the town in his
