and the finishing plant in New York will depend upon the plant here and another it owns in Illi- nois to supply it with all the blanks" used in the finishing factory in New York.
 The opening of the button factory under such management is one of the best streaks of good luck that has come to Clarendon in quite a while. It means places for eighty-five more men early in May and for sixty-fve additional soon thereafter. If they earn an average of S1.O a day it means S1, 350 every Satur- day night.

Pine Bluff, April 10. Capt. J. B. Johnson, secretary of the Board of Trade, has received a communication from the rep- resentatives of a paper mill and pulp factory who are consider ing the establishing of a plant in this city, stating that they would like to meet representatives of this city to discuss a proposition for locating factory here.

Representatives of the veneer and box factory will soon visit Pine Bluff to inspect some land which has been locat- ed by Capt. Johnson.

tiINkLE GAINS ON RECOUNT.
Accounting of Vote in Senatorial Con test May Result in Contest Before
 Court.

After considerable figuring, with first one and then the other candidates in the lead, a recount of the ballots of this county was ordered by the old County Gen. tral Committee, and each can- didate was present when the re- count was made.
 The following gentlemen, made the recount: Ben Desha, rep resenting w. w. Edmondson; W. s. Wright, representing Jno. A. Hinkle, and Charlie Magness. representing Thos. I. Raney.
 The result of the count gave Hinkle a gain of AZ votes, and Raney and Edmondson, together a loss of A votes. Big Bottom, Christian. Magness, Greenbrier and White River were the town ships in which the changes were made.
 According to recount Hinkle has the most votes, but Raney and Edmondson are not satisfied, and the probabilities are that it will be fought out in chancery court and elsewhere. -Batesville Guard,

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was SUD- posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced ita local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct ly on the blood and mucous sur faces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu- lars and testimonials.

BRUND!D1E FOR SENATE.
His Successful Race Places Hir in Line
 for CIarke's Seat in Senate.

Little Rock, April 10, 1906. - The successful race made by Hon. s. Brundidge of Searcy for reelection in 81e Second district to congress has brought him prominently forward as a possible candidate for United State senator at the democratic primary two years hence. Nr. Brundidge is one of the best campaign orators in the State of Arkansas. He is a democrat of the cIeanest record and one who has accomplished a great deal for the state during the several terms he has occupied a seat in the lower house of congress. A paper in Yell county has declared for Hon. John H. Little for the senatorship at that time, but 1t is believed that he will not be a candidate, but will stand for a second term for governor. No one has yet publicly intimated his intention to contest for the seat now occupied by Senator James P. Clarke, but it is safe to predict that it will not be long before there will be one or more candidates in the field. MT. Brundidge in his race for con- gress carried eight of the tw elve counties in his district. He probably has wider personal acquaintance throughout the state than any member of con- gress from Arkansas, and it is believed would make formid- able candidate for the senate two years from now.

 The finding was returned Tues ay night signed by l.. B. Harris s foreman of the jury.
 Upon the information brought out the five worknen held, were released. Two bearing the names of Riley and Nagle were witnesses in the proceedings. The men had been working at Blue Chute on the White River railroad and were paid off here Tuesday morning. They came down Saturday and canped near the scene of the tragedy, await ing the arrival of their money.

 Dr. H. o. Walker was called upon and testified that in his opinion the throat cut was not a < fresh one and that the sewing up of the wound was probably done several days previously.
 :. ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE.
 While some still hold to their belief of foul play, the general opinion as borne out by facts coming to light, is that the un- fortunate man was Respondent over his condition aud threw himself upon the track with the purpose of suicide or that he had become partially demented or weak from loss of blood, or in a high fever from his injuries and did not note the approach of the fast naSSenUer train.

cases-in fact, we'll toward 20 per cent

far the fewer victims. The American
doctors, who beg to differ with Win

excess, but think that the chief danger
lies in the methods Of brewing the

This Occurred in iowa.

An exchange got off this one. A
preacher used to tell the following:
He said he was in Appanoose county,
Iowa, preaching one occasion, when he
stopped at farm house to get dinner.
While eating the lady inquired his
business, and he replied. I'm hunt
ing the lost sheep of the house of is
rael"
She left the room and in few min
utes returned with her husband when
she said: 'this man is looking for lost
sheep, III bet that old long wooled
ram that's been around, is his'n."
"No. sister, you don't understand
me. I'm hunting sinners-those for
whom Christ died" And is he dead?
Yes, replied the minister astonished at
her ignorance, ''and buried too, /
reckon?" 80 yes, long ago. There,
old man, told you we'd die in ignor
ance for not taken newspaper"

SLIGO Per Year
TO Change Inauguration Day.

Arguments in favor of presidential
lnaugurations late in April instead Of
early in March are familiar to every
American The March date has proved
danger 10 life and health, and every
citizen who palS ipates, whether as Of
fetal or spectator. takes bis life in his
hands, But for the difficulty OF amend
ing the constitution the date would
have been changed dong age
The national committee, which re-
Gently considered the question OF
changing the date for inauguratioas.
was unanimous as to the need of
change. Washington's Inauguration
day, April 80, was favored by the mi
nority in the committee and the Lass
Thursday in April by the majority Of
the members. The REASON for choosing
April 80 is, of co - sentimental
one, and the date is open to the OBJ
lection that it may fall on Sunday. But
the same is true Of any other calendar
date. 1t is said that Benjamin Frank
lin selected March 4 as Inauguration
day because for the two centuries
ahead, practically the nineteenth and
twentieth, March would fall less
often on Sunday during inaugural
years than any other day in suitable
season. 1t fell on Sunday in 1921,
1S49 and 1877, and Presidents Monroe.
Taylor and Hayes were inaugurated Oh
Monday, March 3.
The constitution says that the presi-
dent shall hold office four years, and
it is a triAe irregular that any term is
heightened even by one day. Yet it
has been done without causing serious
Inconvenience The fact that Washing
toms Inauguration day was Thursday
and the last Thursday in April would
seem TO be good reason for adopting
the suggestion of the majority in the
committee.

The argument is that absence OF the

the probability of earning more money
In private fields, operates against the

ator David Davis. of Illinois, made an
address that remains ever green i'll the
memory of the newspaper men. He
said: every year your local news
paper prints from 500 to 1000 free lines
for the benefit OF the community in
which it is located. No other agency
can do this. The editor in proportion
TO his means, does more for his own
town than any man in it. He ought
TO be supported; not because You hap
pen to like him or admire his writing,
but because a local paper is the besl

than any men on earth. PatrOnize
