Republican Politics In Arkansas
Special to the News.

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, January 10.-"Re publican politics in Arkansas is so quiet that the solitude is pain ful," said Hon. Sidney B. Red ding, clerk of the United States District Court, here, today.
 T suppose that the next move in Arkansas will be the meeting of the State Central Committee for the purpose of naming the place and the time for the meet ing of the State Convention, " said he.
 And will the Republicans hold a State Convention this year," was asked Mr. Bedding.
 For the fact that the party at tempts to hold it's organization together in Arkansas has long since been considered one of the political jokes of the state.
 It is practically certain, how ever, that the Republicans will nominate a candidate for govern or, and possibly one or two other offices. and there appears to be no reason to believe that any ac- tion except the endorsement of Secretary Taft, for the Republi- can nomination for president, will be taken at this time.
 A prominent Republican, speaking of the situation, today, said:
 If the Republican National Convention nomirates the presi- dent, he will be compelled to ac. cept the nomination. And there are many III this state who look for just such action. Yet, should the president be not nom. mated, the immense secretary of war will be the choice of the members of the c. o. P. in Ark. ansas, to run against Bryen.

Must Lower the Depofs

All the depots which stand high from the ground, along the Iron Mountain are doomed to come off their high horses. Such is the decree of A. DeBernardi. general superintendent of that road. He says that as soon as the improvements can be made he will see that the depots are low. cred to basis of sanity. Super. intendent DeBernardi considers the high depots relic of barbar- ism. The depots were not erect. ed with any thought of passen. ger service, simply for the un- loading and loading of freight. The general superintendent says this can be done at special freight platform, Little Rock Democrat.
 And while they are lowering Pescott's present disease building structure to a basis of sanity, couldn't tn ey give us a new one?

Coz. Glenn to The Platform.

Governor Glenn, whose retire
ment from public place will occur
three months hence, has made
definite plans for his immediate
future. He has signed with a
lecture bureau for one hundred
platform addresses to be deliver
ed within six months after the
beginning, there being written
inthe contract handsome figure,
as the North Carolina public
will be glad to know. The bureau
is to b. congratulated upon hav-
ing effected this engagement. 1t
is n0t too much to say that Gov
ernor Glenn is one Of the most
popular speakers in the United
States. Where he has appeared,
outside the State, at any time or
before any company when con-
ditions were kind, he has greatly
impressed hisaudience-no specific
reference need be made further
than to the recent conference Of
Governors and other distinguish
ed men at Washington. His
reputation at home has of course
been for many years established.
He will grow in good fame as he
is better known to the country
and at the expiration of his con-
tract will be released with regret
if released at all,

IN MEMORTAM.
Mr- NeiiI Ray Smith.

After lingering illness of several
months Mr.. NELL Ray Smith died at his
home near Attention, N. c., September
80, 1903. Through all the weary days
he bore his sufferings with the quiet pa
tience of a true Christian. He had hard
ly passed the meridian of his life, being
in his fifty-eight year. In early life he
connected himself with Smiths Metho-
dist church, of which he remained a 10y
al and devote! member until his death.
He was for many years steward in his
church.
Mr.. Smith was twice married, first to
Miss Lucy Ann Singletary, of Baden
county. This union was blessed with
six children-Messrs. Joseph, J. P. and
James Smith; and Mrs. James Stogner,
Mrs. Robert Musselwhite and Mrs.
Frank ToWnsend-all of whom survive
him. His first wife died in 1892. His
second wife was Miss Mary Humphrey,
daughter of the late Alex. Humphrey,
of Saddle Tree, N. C. To them were
born two children-one son, Neill R. Jr.
who died in infancy, and daughter
Miss Lucy Smith, who, with her moth
er, also survives. He leaves two sisters
Mrs. Elizabeth j. Harrell and Mrs. ]
X. Singletary-and two brothers
Messrs. J. W. and William Smith.
Mr.. Smith had wide circle of friend
who esteemed him for his many endear
ing qualities and his real worth. Perhap
it was in his home that his light shon
brightest. His tenderness and devotion
to his family was beautiful.
He had been a member of St. Alban'
Lodge of Masons for many years an

OCTOBER.

The thought of old, dear things is in
thine eyes,
0, month of memories,
Musing on days thine heart has sorrow
of,
Old joy, dead hopes, dear love.
l see thee stand where all thy sisters
To cast down at thy feet
The garnered largess of the fruitful
year,
And on thy cheek tear.
A hectic splendor lights thy days to
sleep,
Ere the gray dusk may creep
Sober and sad along thy dusty ways,
Like lone nun who prays;
High and faint-heard thy passing mi
grant calls;
Thy lazy lizard spraWls
On big gray stone, and many slow winds
creep
About thy hedge, asleep;
The sun swings farther toward his love,
the south,
To kiss her glowing mouth;
And Death, who steals among thy pur.
ping bowers,
Is deeply hid in flowers.
Would, in thy beauty, we might all for
get
Dead days and old regret,
And through thy realm might fare u
forth to roam,
Having no thought for home!
And yet | feel, beneath my queens at
tire,
Woven of blood and fire,
Beneath the gloden glory of thy charm
Thy mother heart beats warm,
And if, mayhap, a wandering child o
thee,
Weary of land and sea,
HE homeward from his dreamer's ques
To sob upon thy breast,
Thine arm would fold him tenderly,
prove
How thine eyes brimmed with love,
And thy dear hand, with all mother
, care,
Would rest upon his hair.

Definition of "ScaIlawag."

State Chairman Eller, in reply
to the letter of Hon. M. L.
HaWson, of Huntington, N. Y,
reviewing the career Of Hon.
Orlando Hubbs published in the
News & Observer Of Oct. 9TH,
after giving IN account of the
public services IF this Carpet
Dagger" as leader Of the negro
party in Craven county, added
further:
There was another name ap-
piled IL such men in North Car
DINA. 10 Wit, the name Of Seal
lawag." Judge Armfeld, of
this State, has given the only
definition of "Scallawag" that l
ever heard. He said, "A Seal
lawag is a white man who thinks
himself just as good as a ne
gro"
Chairman Filler is in receipt of
a letter from Gov. Jarvis, in
which he offers the suggestion
that while the subject is under
consideration, we might as we'll
keep history straight. He says:
'The Scallawag was first de-
fined by DR.. VIM. Gloss, a
Methodist preacher of great pow
er and infinite humor. His def
milton was this:
"A ScallaWag is a white man
who thinks q niger as good as
he is and thinks right when he
thinks it. D."
The correction is accepted by
Chairman Eller in the interest of
history and with the hope of
doing the Honorable Orlando
Ftubbs full justice; and, wishing
further to place the Honorable
Orlando Hubbs before the public
in as fair a light as his record
deserves, it might be said in
speaking of "Carpetbaggers'
and "Scallawags," that there
were others. But it is to be
hoped that, unlike Abou Der
Adem, their tribe may not in
crease.
