LETTER FROM JAMES SNODGRASS.

Proclamation of Sons ol Rest:
 On last Wednesday we met on the streets of Prescott and elect ed and installed new officers as follows:
 l.. P. Hitchcock, president; B. F. Wynn, chairman; John Bright, secretary; Ed Hood, sheriff; J.O. A. Bush, travelling solicitor and organizer; D. Montgomery, supt. of scavengers, We are going to have a clean thing. Our chair man and board of directors re- commend that we so modify our constitution and bylaws that all intelligent people may partici- pate. They recommend that all farmers who had wevil-eaten corn, after crops were laid by, and at gathering time be taken in regardless of work, but the toe sack, lard bucket, and hay wire element be barred out until they can become eligible, that that element is detrimental to the Southern states, and that if we encourage that element of people it will be only a matter of time when they will be initiating town people, living out of paper sacks. That knocks me out as l did not farm last year, but will be able to meet the emergency next year, as have a fine corn and pea crop this year. l don't mind to wait for good thing. Owing to the recent rains we are behind in canning our tad pole brain food. We are making arrangements with the Blevlns Canning Factory to assist us so as to be able to meet the demand in the fall. This food will be stored both in the Farmers Un- ion warehouse and w. B. Wal ler's warehouse. l am using some prepared by hand until the factory starts but you can't tell it by reading my articles. As this is only intended for the pro ceedings of our last meeting l will close. Next week l will endeavor to write entirely for the good of the order in which shall ask the labies to partici- pate, as all other labor and trade unions have so far failed to bring good results. We are out to win.

There were fully 800 delegates present at the time the convention was called to order. as they had be .n coming in droves all night long. Ben Griffin. secretary, occupied his position on the rostrum near President Lewis. After the or ganization of the convention, MT. Lewis delivered his annual ad- dress, commenting upon t h e growth of the order, the absence of dissention and the progress made in the handling of the cot ton crop, the results being so sue cessful that the middle man may in time be eliminated. President Lewis referred only in passing to the charges of the union en- tering into politics, saying they were unfounded and unfair and detrimental to the order, and counseled member from making such charges.
 After this the committees to au- dit the books of the officers, to handle resolutions. platform and other committees, were appointed and got down to work. This af- ternoon the time will be spent in having talks from various mem- bers. Tomorrow Ben l.. Griffin will the secretary's annul report. The election of officers will also take place then. It is thought that Lewis will be reelected, but there are several candidates out for Secretary Griffin's job.

Few counties in the state but what showed up with some con- test but in most cases it was a clash between prohibition and the commissioners asked for by county committees. The Repub- licans presented a list of men they would have appointed, and one commissioner from each county will be chosen from the list. Judge Martin of Garland county gave a scathing address on the list suggested saying a portion of them had been indict- ed. In Ouchita county where the fight is strictly between pro- hibition and whiskey elements. one speaker fired hot shot into the opposition until he dropped a set of false teeth from his mouth. He declared the placing of men men favored by the liquor ele- ment would split the party for all time. Craighead furnished the warmest of the fight. Rudy Copeland, a candidate for sena- tor, presented a list he would have appointed. One speaker designated the majority of them as thugs, and dared the opposit- ion to call his hand.

VILE ISLANDER.

The vilest and g. ossest misrep- resentation made by the Anheus- CT Busch Brewing Go. of late, has been the islander perpetrated upon the memory of William Penn in one of their advel tise- ments. Now comes another, more dis9racefully false, more inexcusable, and picturing more clearly the malignant meanness of the mind that conceived it than ever before.
 In large advertisement in a number of papers these poison makers who label their product "Budweiser" islander the mem- ory of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. We would like to quote the lad" in full, but space forbids.
 Suffice it to say they would lead people to believe that the great reformer and preacher ad- vised his people to drink small beer," when in fact he advised them to drink only water, saying Water is the wholesome of all drinks; quickens the appetite and strengthens the digestion most. Strong, and more especially spir- itous liquors, are certain, tho slow poison. Experience shows there is seldom any danger in leaving them off all at once. Strong liquors do not prevent the mischiefs of a surfeit, nor carry it off as safely as water. Malt liquors are exceedingly hurt full to tender persons.
 Again MT. Wesley says: Tt is amazing that the preparing or selling of this poison should be permitted in any civilized state. Is it wise to barter mems lives for money? What remedy is there for this sore evil? Many thousand poor people are starv- ing. The remedy: By prohibit ing forever. by making a full end of that bane of health, that destroyer of strength, of life, of virtue distilling.
 It seems that the whole of Methodism should rise in revolt and declare to Messrs. Anheuser, Busch, ct al, thal i've will have none of it.. It is a burning shame that they must drag such lights of history and reform into the mire of their deviltry to try to boost their beverage of hell. "

Items Gathered at the State Capital By the Picayune's
 Representative

Little Rock, Aug. 4.-When the injunction hearing comes up before Judge Van Deventer in St. Paul he 31st., by which the railroads of Arkansas endeavor to cut off the two cent passenger rate and charge more for the hauling of freight than allowed by the tariff made up by the Ar kansas Railroad Commission, the railroad companies will not be able to show the rates are con- fiscatory because the cost of op- erating trains has increased and the receipts made less by the ad- verse legislation. The attorneys for the state have gone to the bottom of the opposition to refute these charges and maintain the rates.
