Gov. DAVIS HAS
A SLIGHT LEAD
RETURNS IN ARKANSAS SLOW
IN COMING IN-RESULT
CLOSE.

Little Rock, Arb March 30 Re
turns from Wednesdays Democratic
primary election continue TO arrive very
slowly. The contest for United States
Senator between Governor jefferson
Davis ard Jas. II, Berry, the present
incumbent, appears to be in doubt. Gov.
Davis continues to claim his re nomina-
ton by safe majority, while friends of
Senator Berry state that the result will
be very close.
Returns from fifty five counties place
Davis slightly in and ad, but that his
vote in the country districts has largely
fallen Il from that rolled by him two
years ago for Governor. Country roeds
throughout the state are almost impas-
sable because of heavy rains, and many
remote precincts have OF reported.

NEW INDUSTRIAL
COMMITTEE MEET.

The committee on New Industries
of the Mt. Pleasant Commercial Club
met in the Ingram, building Friday
evening at 1880 o'clock, with Mr.. E.
Dan Smith in the chair.
The report of T. B. Johnson was lis
tened to, regarding the manner, COST
equipment and machinery required,
relative to the manufacture of shuttle
blocks, which business he thoroughly
investigated Monday while at Clarks-
vile. The decision of the committee
resulted in the appointment of Mr. E.
L. Gregory to canvass the town for
subscriptions to stock to organize
company to manufacture shuttle
blocks. Mr. w. D. Cooper, mayor OF
the city, and one of the leading lum-
Der dealers of this place, was present,
and offered the committee the use for
the new company building and nee
essary mower for beginning work at
once. 1t is thought it will be an easy
matter to raise the necessary sub
scriptions to the stock; in fact
a few shares were subscribed by some
of the members present at the meet
ing. The enterprise will create de-
mand for dogwood and persimmon
timber which will be bought in lengths
from 80 inches to four feet and as
small as four inches in diameter at
the small end, and for which at least
Sc for dogwood and S. for persimmon
will be received.
One commendable feature of the en-
terprise is, that it will furnish a mar
ket for what at present is considered
a worthless kind of timber, and for
which there is no demand, more than
for cord wood.
Following the meeting of the COM
mittee on New Industries the Com I
mittee on Railroad and Transports I
tion met and passed some good reso- /
lutions, each member being assigned .
important duties to perform, in com
piling statistics for reports to be made
to the Club at a future meeting. The
most important subjects to be report
ed on are the resources Of this immed-
late part of the county, the discrimi.
mating rates, by the L. & n. R. r. Co.,
Of freights both in and out of the city
and also of the Inconvenience in pro-
curing tickets to distant points and
the inconvenience of the present pas
senger schedule to Nashville and re-
turn.
The committee on Rights and Rem
dies are to meet next Monday morn
ng in the Ingram building at O'Clock.

LOCAL.

Mr.. E. L. Gregory has just been
commissioned agent for the Spring
field Fire and Marine Insurance Co.,
of Springfield, Mass.
Incessant rains here the past three
days have put an end to phosphate
mining for the present, Mines are
flooded and it will be several days be-
fore operations can be carried on to
an advantage. There is great danger
from overflow in Black Bottom, and
it will not be surprising to see sew
eral inches of water in many OF the
houses in this locality before the rain

the exception of the hill just bey'ld

Z per cent grade. The committee

use on the read and perhaps couple
more will be purchase, if they can be

HIGH FINANCE.

A young lady started her own bank
ing account, and was very proud of
her check book She used it so well
that one day there came notifica-
ton that she had overdrawn her &C.
count. When she had found out what
this meant she was full of sorrow for
the bank. She wrote a pretty letter
of apology and filed up check for
the amount due This" she wrote,
will put matters right London

The Social
Cub Question

Some few nights ago we had the
pleasure of attending meeting OF the
Business Mems Club Of Nit. Pleasant
and heard the reports of the several
different committees of that body.
There were several suggestions made
regarding the needs of the town and
vicinity, among which was the sugges-
ton that the Business Mems Club al
low to be organized young mems
social club, which, though being a
branch of the Business Club, would be
separate and distinct from the latter
The objection was raised that as so
many members of the Business Club
were old men and would not like to
take part in the social club it would
not be just to tax them for installing
such a club for the use of such young
men or old men as would like to take
part in such an enterprise, since those
who did not wish to take part would
have to bear the burden of the ex-
pense and would share none of the
benefits.
Now when we consider that there
are only. about twenty to twenty FIVE
young gentlemen in Mt Pleasant who
would be DESTROYS of joining in in or
gaming such a club, we can readily
see that the prorata share of the eX-
penses would be too great to be un-
dertaken by the young men of Mt.
Pleasant alone.
The movement for a social club in
Mt Pleasant is very important one,
and one which should be given the
attention of all the people irrespective
of age and sex. Fathers are inter
ested as well as mothers, who would
have a place for the amusement of
their boys, but this place for the
amusement must be made pure and
wholesome by having that class of
amusement in the club room most
conducive to the coed morals CT Tho
younger participants.
The club room would be furnished
with all the standard periodicals and
dailies, and would be the center CT at
