NOTES

During the progress of his speech Senator Davis and Mir. McFarlan- co-operated in chal' lcnging Mir. Donaghey to bring suit against McFarlane to prove the faslty of his charge that Donaghcy had planned to make T. L. Cox partner in the state capitol contract If he (Donaghey) secured it, These facts were re- garled as indicating an apparent underestimate ing between Davis and Ncfarlane.
 Neither Mfr. pon0ghey nor Mir. McFarlane en- gagged la joint dcbatc with Senator Davis as the latter left immediately after making his speech for Sprngdalr. where he was scheduled to speak Tuesday night. Neither did Mir. McFar' lane and Mir. Donaghey engage in joint de- bate between themselves, although both spoke.
 Mir Donaghey announced at the beginning of his speech that he did not propose to hold joint discussion with any candidate, and that he would not reply to any thing that Mir. Me Farlane might say in his speech.

The
 General DemQnd

of the We'll Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with its ex. celent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-lnformed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy tho genuino-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

I want to refer to your distinguished fellow citizen George W. Donaghey. who mas protected the state from a steal of $500, ,0OO alone and-sngle handed Mir. Davis nod denies tha he said this, but if cannot bring the affda- wits of hundred men. every one of whom voted for Davis for the Senate. who will swear that he made that statement. I will withdraw from this race in three days. Why has Senator Davis suddenly come 10 the conclusion that am the greatest arch hcnd in the commonwealthT
 Mir Donaghey declared that he was no orator. but that he thought oratory was taking the attention of the people away from facts. He declared that the state tax levy is the same today that 1t was when Powell Clayton was governor of Arkansas. although the property valuations have increased forty times. This Is accounted for. he declared, by the political graft and greed which have secured hold on the state He declared that the state needs business administration Mir. Donaghey declared that the charges of unfarness to labor had been brought against him by carpenters In the em- ploy of Caldwell & Drake and that the build ings in question had been built by union men, He spoke at length about the state capitol con- tract and other matters following in large measure the lines of his usual speech.

 'I have been damnably misrepresented py this speech and by the speeches of this man, Mir Griffin declared ''So man in this house can say that l ever asked him to vote for George w. Donas shey. denounce the man who will undertake to couraminate my organi- zation and assail my reputation.
 Mr. Griffin called attention to the ract that he had formerly been warm supporter or Senator Davis two years ago II said on the stump" he declared thar 90 per cent of my people would vote for Dav:s, and by the eternal we did it. I voted for him two years ago, and did anyone then say that Griffin had sold out the Farmers Union vote?'
 Mir Griffin said that Davis came to him before the opening of the present campaign and told him he would put him on the ticket for state auditor. and that they would whip h. out of that capitol Du1ch." but that he declined the offer. He declared that only last Friday Davis went to the Executive Committee of the Farmers Union and told them that his (Grifin 's) official head must come on. II de- nounce the infamous lies that have been heaped upon ne by politicians. and l don't care how big they are, or where they come from" he concluded Grimm was loudly cheered by the crowd when he concluded.

 Immigrants For Arkansa5.
 Of the 1,2S5,349 immigrants who were admitted to the united states during 1907, only 677 stated that their destination was Arkansas. In 1906 the number admitted was 1,100,735, of whom All were destined to Arkansas. In 1907, the classes of Arkansas-bound aliens were: Miners, 27. tailors, g; farm laborers, 252; servants, 34; no occupation, men women and children 362.
 It is noticeable that farm laborers predominated among those who de clared an occupation, and it is safe to assume that of the others number went into farming. The government recognizes the great need of the South for farm labor, and the officials say that when possible efforts will be made 10 induce immigrants to go to South ern states.

second strongest aggregation of race
horses in America, is trying to give up
the practice of promiscuous betting and
If he can resist the temptation the only
wagering he will do this year will be
on his own horses, and mighty little on
them. To that end he is studiously re-
naming away from the Aqueduct track,
according to report, and is spending
such time as is not occupied with the
training of his stable of horses at his
handsome Sheepshead Bay nome. Hill
dreth has been a plunger for years He
has reached the conclusion that a man
cannot beat the races betting six times
a day on horses of whose condition he
has no immediate personal knowledge,
no matter how good his Judgment may
be or what his sources of information
are. The easiest way to resist the
temptation to try to beat six races a
day is to remain away from the track.
except when he starts something good
himself, he thinks. Hildrethe has lost
by reckless speculation many dollars
earned by hard. painstaking work.
There is no c1everer horseman in the
country than Hi1dreth, nor is there one
whose Judgment as to placing good
horses is keener. He believes that he
can this season earn enough in stakes
and purses to pay him we'll for the time
applied to training his horses.
He will start his horses only when
he believes them to be thoroughly fit
and nothing will please him better than
to have the public win on them.
