G. w. DONAGHEY
 FOR GOVERNOR
Conway Farmer.COntractor Is in the Race Till the End. Running Upon an Issue That State Capitol Is Not Being Built According
 to Contract,

George w. Donaghey of Conway <:
 in Little Rock today, and elsewhere
 il. the Arkansas Democrat appears his
 formal announcement for governor T;
 Arkansas, subject to the action of the
 Democratic primaries, says Thurs
 days Democrat. He declares he is ill
 the race to stay until he is elected,
 and he feels confident, from the en- 1 couragement that he has received
 from all sections of the State. that the
 March primaries will see the rea:iza- | tion of his ambition.
 MT. Donaghey is well known throughout Arkansas. He is a 3aIiv, of the State, and has lived practically y all his life in Faulkner county, where he has made an enviable record as a citizen. He is a farmer anl a con- tractor, and resides on :. farnl near Conway. He is truly a snlf-made man, and what education he has he secured at the University of Arkansas through his own exertions, after he 1attained to manhood. He has always been progressive and resourcefu'. and what he has made in following bis vocation as a contractor has largely been made outside the Statc and brought into Arkansas, where might be used for the advancement of the interests of his people. Els motto is Arkansas first, last and all the time, and he has never wearied ill advancing the welfare of the State and the people whenever and Wherev- CT possible.
 Mr. Donaghey has never been an of- flee seeker, and aside from his ser- vice as a member of the original State Capitol Commission has never sought or held public office. He be- lieyes, however, that the time has come when he should offer his ser- vices to the people as their chief ex- ecutive, and, encouraged by his many friends throughout the State, he was at last prevailed upon to enter the race.
 He is not running on the merits or demerits of any man, but on a fixed platform of principles, broadly the ad- vancement of the States material in- terests, and primarily on the issue of the new State capitol. He contends
 as is well known, that the original
 plans of the capitol were changed so | that the building, as it is being con- pleted, will really cost much less 1 than the contract price; that the work l is not being done according to the specifications; that the money set apart for the building is now prac- tically exhausted, and the building still in an unfinished condition, and open to the weather. He has fortified his position with documents and oth- CT proofs of the various allegations made, and declares that he is pre- pared to prove them before any audi ence. Upon this issue, which he con siders one of the greatest moment, he is going before the people.

THE SOUTH PLAYING INTO THE
 HANDS OF THE NORTH.

There can be no doubt that the Southern people are the most whole souled and emotional people on earth says the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Naturally then they are susceptible to various kinds of crazes. The green back theory captured their fancy. Then the siXteen-to-one idea that was going to give every poor man sixteen dollars in gold for every silver dollar tue owned and put an end to poverty swept the South. Now the South has apparently gone crazy over the eX- ploded theory of prohibition. The course, an excellent one, but those who were so much interested in it SC far as the South was concerned were mostly Northern people, who wanted to remove the mote from the eye of the South, but leave it in the eye of the North. There can be no doubt that child labor should be eliminated, but the Northern crusade against child labor in the South was inspired by mercenary motives and was as hypo- critical a movement as was ever start ed. We naturally should not grow weary in the good work, but we should fake no advice from the "disinterested philanthropists" of the North Pro- lection has been nothing in the world but a Northern device to tax the toil- ing people of the South. The pension system is a similar device
 Being an emotional people we of the South have been led into a bitter an tagonism of railroads. Of course any Southern hostility to railroads is sin cere. Southerners who hate a rail- road are honest in their hatred; but isn't the South in this case, once more playing into the hands of the North making rapid strides. Our seaports are encroaching on those of the North. Our cotton mills now use about as much cotton as those of the North. We have made a wonderful development in coal and iron. The railroad development in the South has been greater in recent years than in any section of the country.
 This. then, is the situation. Now suppose some Northern man, keenly interested in the industries of that section, and realizing that the rivalry of this section was apt to affect the North, should want to devise a plan to cripple the South How would he so about it?
 Would he not say to himself, If l can only cripple and retard the trans portation facilities of the South, l can put the South out of business?"
 IL seems to us that this is what he would say. Are not the Southern states then playing right into the hands of the North, when they make unreasoning fights on railroads? Southern agriculture and industry would be dead without the strong

The battle against the mailorder
octupus can never be a successful
one unless all interests are actively
engaged in it. 1t can never be sue
cessful so long as the merchant wants
it preached but does not want to prac-

sends his saving account to the city
bank for safe keeping is not entitled
to the support of the community
whose money he takes from it. The
merchant who will not p~atrOnize his
brother merchants. who makes his
visits to the city an excuse for buy
ing his own household supplies, sup
plies that are not carried on his own
shelves. Of the city merchants, is not
entitled to the support OF the COM

preach but not practice home trade.
He wants to do with the community's

Origin in Wisdom.
If you are patient enough to ferret
it out you will find that there is a rea-
son for every little i-diosyncrasy We
have, for every queer thing we do.
Take, for example, the wearing of
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements Of maIine, crepe and
lace9 1t is q custom handed down 10
us from the Romans. who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss Of
a dear one. This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without q single spear of hair on their
heads, but of course it was most IN
attractive for women. No one. not
ven a Roman matron. liked TO be
seer bald-headed. so the women Of
the Tiber devised a little cap to hide
their badness. and thus the custom
has come down to us. even though
heads are no longer shaved as a sign
Of mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead is that years ago, when toll
ing was first established, the people
thought that the sound Of the bells
frightened away evil spirits who how
cred a the dead
Why do men. and women. too, wear
bows on the left side of their hatse
The reason is simple enough. When
the head covering built upon the order
Of hats of to-day was first introduced
it was ornamented with a ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
in two ends on the left side. reaching
below the shoulder. These ends were
a sort of anchor, or safety line, and
were put there expressly TO be seized
when a sudden gust of wind threaten
were put on the left side because. as a
general thing. the left hand was more
apt to be free than the right. Eventu-
ally these ribbons were knotted in 3
fetching bow with flowing ends. and
then they were cut of quite close to
the hat, so that they form 8 very
small and stin bow knot.
