TELLING LIES ON GOV.
 DAVIS.
A Texarkana Young Man Interrupts the Governor.

Down at Texarkana a few days ago, while Gov Davis was speaking and moving the hearts of his hearers with sympathy, as he was telling how he had employed and paid the soldier boys of the Arkansas State Guard for their services as guards during the quaran- tine last Summer, a member of the State Guard from that section, very rudely interrupted the flow of sympa- thetic tears he had ingeniously worked up.
 After hearing Gov. Davis make this assertion, the young soldier arose and after apologizing to the ladies present, denounced the Governor as LIAR and said: You know good and well, Gov. Davis, that we have tried our very best to get our money for doing quar- rentine duty but you haven't paid us. ;
 To this denunciation as LIAR and charge of the young soldier, the Gov ernor made no response, but proceed ed on with his speaking.
 The young man was rude and inn polite in his language and it was such an injustice and wrong to the Governor | for he NEVER lies; never calls anybody else liar It is always the other fellows that lie on him. He nevel treats anyone so rude as the young man treated him. He is such fai and brave man, too, that he neve takes such an unfair advantage of !: man as the young soldier did of him Every fair minded person who ha! heard Gov. Davis in his villification 0 nearly every body who dares to oppose him in his personal ambitions and pc litical aspirations, will be able at : glance, to discern the exact degret of difference there is in the young soldiers treatment Of Gov. Davis anc the Governors treatment of his oppc- nents.

HRS. CARRY A. NATION.
Speaks of Brinkley---Says we have a Good, Clean Town. Says to "ROt.
 ten EgS the Dirty
 Whiskey Agents"

The one topic of conversation on Friday last was Mrs. Carrie A. Ma ton, the woman who has "hatcheted' herself into world wide fame in her crusades against tiger joints.
 She came in from Forrest City on the noon train and went to the Brink ley House. It was expected that she would-make the rounds and see the sights in Brinkley Friday afternoon or evening but this she did not do and there was no one with the exception of Revs. H. B. Cox and T. w. Fiskacer- ly, visiting minister, who saw her until she went to the church to lecture, write up of which appears elsewhere in this issue.
 MRS. NATION INTERVIEWED.
 After the lecture she was called on at the Brinkley House by the ARGUS man. Mrs. Nation was waiting to take the lO:4O train Friday night for Little Rock, and was sitting in the ho- tel office, reading daily paper. 4 number of men were sitting around but it was noticeable that none were smoking. Upon being asked what she thought about Brinkley, she re- piled:
 "You have a good. clean town; oi course you have room for improve ment, but in the main you have splendid town. There seems to be z disposition and sentiment among you people to cultivate higher and nobiel sentiments, aims and ideals. The town is making for itself reputation Your good people should keep up the good work. And those dirty, low life whiskey agents which infest Brinkley and seek to degrade and make drunk ards out of Brinkley's men and boy ought to be rotten egged. The goot women Of Brinkley ought to rise uE and in indignation. rotten egg then cut of town. Ed do it in minute It's nothing but right, either. Thoss filthy despoiers of homes, nothing i too good for them: They know tha they are doing wrong but what do the care: They'd wreck the lives an' happiness of every wife, mother par ent and child in Brinkley in order to ge a few paltry dollars. l stand for tn mothers, their boys and their hus bands and that is the reason sa what l do about the dirty dispoilers Q all that is pure. true and honest: 10 there is no greater enemy to safet. land welfare of your homes, boys ant linen. than inc brazen faced, impuden whisksy agent.
