JEFF DAVIS AFTER
 THE LAW MAKERS
Exhausts His Vocabulary in Condem nation of the Last Legislature and peIIs What He Will Do
 if He Is President.

Camden, July 5.-In what he himself characterized as ram. bling, rattling speech" untted States Senator Jefferson Davis denounced and abused his polHi- cal enemies at the barbecue given by the Woodmen of the World here yesterday.
 It completely exhausted even Senator Davis prolific vocabulary of abuse and vituperation to ade- quately express his feelings to- ward the last Arkansas legisla ture.
 Among other things the senator said.
 "Of all the farces, mistits and outrages, the speaker said, "the members of the Arkansas leglsla- ture should have the medals. told them that 1 was going on their trail, and I'm going to deliver a hundred speeches just like this all over Arkansas. The legislature was completely domi- mated by four trust heelers- Leigh, Balch, Bill Moore and one other nonentity.
 Fl could talk for two hours about the work of that legisla- ture. If they had stayed there two days longer they would have repealed the bucketshop law. And that speaker-he's bird. Lord, how I do love that fellow Allen Hamiter. Why, Vandeven- ter, the dirtiest, lowest, slimiest politician that ever held the speak ership. was credit to Arkansas beside him. He's got so big that they tried to steal half of Colum- bia county for him to sit it. Such a speaker ought to be kicked bodily out of the house"
 He described Speaker Hamiter as looking like an old coon dog that had been in fight, and said he was staying in Little Rock and did not know that the legislature had adjourned. He charged hat he was drunk when he got on the stage to speak at Conway.
 linen what did the legislators do in regard to taxation They raised 1t half mill on each Sl00. Nearly Sl, l,0o0.00o more was ap- propriated than when Jeff Davis was governor.
 Why the Gazette says that the deficit will be nearly Sl00,- GOO by July, and when l left oi- flee there was all sorts of money in the treasury.
 These trust magnates control everything. You raise cotton and buy it back from them in the form of manufactured goods at prices that are absolutely ruinous, compared to what you received for the cotton.
 Arkansas had the best trust law that was ever written. H. put the trusts completely out of business. They couldn't come here at all. Then this fool legis- lature spoiled it, aud now we'll have to work six years more to put it back on the books.
 "I don't know whether I'll ever be president, but if l ever am you can depend upon 1t that there'll be shaking up of dry bones.
 "You farmers don't fix the price of your cotton; the trust does that. The price for 1907 is already tixel by men who never saw a boil of cotton in their lives. If the South would deal with cot ton entirely itself and let the law of supply and demand fix the price we would be the richest and happiest people in the world"

COMPLEXION SECRETS
Only One Way to Secure a Clear

In most instances bad complex

things In life that are essential to
natural beauty. All manner of sug-
gestions have been offered by skin
specialists, but all agree that the
only sure way to secure a clear,
healthy complexion is ~ conform
closely as possible to the laws Of
nature. To preserve your fresh
nes and beauty, you should live sim
ply, take plenty of outdoor exercise,
drink quantities OF water and be
careful of your diet. Remember,
too, that beauty is a good deal more
than skin deep. 1t Is blood deep,
anu depends also upon your liver,

CORN CROP HAS
SUFFERED GREATLY
From the Continued Cold and
Heavy Rainfall.
Many Farmers Have Replanted
Their Fields in Hopes of
Saving the Crop.

Marion county farmers report that
the crops in this vicinity will suf-
fen to great extent as a result of
the continued cold and heavy rail-
fall of spring, which closed Fri
day. While the crops in general
will suffer, it is the corn which has
been most seriously injured. Throu-
ghout the entire country the corn
will be late aud in many instances
will be of poor quality,
a great many of the farmers, re.
ali2ing that the first planting
would result unsatisfactory, plaut-
ed their corn a second time toward
the close Of the season of cold and
rain. 1t is thought that by this
method much Of the corn will be
saved.
The wheat and oats crop will also
suffer to no small extent but will
not be damaged as sei'iouslyas the
corn.
Marion county is not the only 10.
cality which will suffer as the re,
suit of the unfavorable weather
which characterized the spring just
closing, according to reports Of tho
railway men and others who travel
through the neighboring countie,
and states. The condition in gen
eral they state, all of the crops be
ing held back and badly damaged.
Between this city and Columbu,
the backward condition of the crops
is particularly noticeable. Through,
out the entire distance cereals
make the poorest showing that ha.
been noticed at this season fo
many years.
