H. u. S. Notes.

The campus and buildings of
the H. U. S. are being put in on
dition for the opening Sept. 10th.
The teaching force was increas-
ed last week by the election of
Prof. J. P. Murphy, who comes
highly recommended by school
men and school boards and by
the faculty Of Missouri State
Normal and that of Vanderbilt
University.
The addresses of Revs. O. ].
Wade, Little Rock, +. c. Simms,
Fordyce and Hon. Lamar Will
hanson, Monticello, will delight
the magnificent audience that
willlassemble to hear them at the
II. U. S. next Tuesday evening.
The honor roll of the II. U. S.
is a good one and next year we
expect it to grow. This roll re-
presents special merit as only
grades above 80 per cent appear.
1t is a pleasure to note the de-
sire of Monticello boys and girls
to complete the course here. The
student who does SO gains great
credit on entering elsewhere.
The faculties of other schools
know full we'll the test that a
a student has to undergo to
graduate here and that fact
alone is a commentator.

straight all the way through,
from Gov. down the line, and
strike out every name with I'm

ADDRESS.
To the Democratic Voters Of Ar.


kansas:
September nth will be the day
and hour of Dcmocracy's need, and
every loyal Democrat should be up
and doing.
The great battle that is now on
is not for the Presidency alone. but
for the rights,if not the liberties, of
the people.
Never before in the history of
our country has the results Of an
election been fraught with so much
danger to the people. The coun-
try needs the Democratic party as
never before, and the party needs
every s,alwart son.
Arkansas is among the States
holding State elections prior to
November. and the result in our
State is being watched with the
deepest interest. If our majority
here is reduced the the enemy will
use that fact with telling OBJECT a.
gainst US. and it will have ten
dency to discourage our fellow
Democrats in the doubtful States.
who are making such a brave fight
for our mutual rights.
furthermore. the basis of repre-
sentation in the various counties in
the State convention years hence
will be fixed by the vote of our can
didate for Governor. and if each
county is to have the representa-.
ton to which its numbers rightfully
entitle it, it must cast every vote
possible. But we have other and
greater Incentives. Our cause was
never more just or inspiring. or
hope of vistory better founded.
That peerless leader, w. J.
Bryan. is making the most mag.
nificent fight for the restoration of
the peoples rights that the world
has ever witnessed.
And in the election of our candi-
date for Governor, George w.
Donaghey, Arkansas is going to
have united Democracy, 6evoid
of the factional feeling of partisan.
ship with which it has suffered in
the past. The State will have a
bushes administration of its affairs
that guarantees every citizen with
in its borders peace, prosperity and
contentment. 1t is our duty not
only as Democrats but as patriots
to give to him and the entire
Democratic ticket our earnest and
enthusiastic support.
1t seems to me that these are
sufficient reason to induce practi.
cally every member OF the party to
devote some time and effort bet ween
now and Sept. 18th to the success
OF the party and to aid in securing
the largest majority for Democracy
the State has ever known.

There is no place in Drew
county for independents, in poll
ties, and when anyone sticks his
head up, on the ticket as an In
dependendeat j, it is the duty OF
every good, true and honest
Democrat to vote against such
Independent candidate. 1t should
make no difference who he may
be, he is no friend to the domi-
nant party and people of the
South. He is, Whether he knows
it or not, a fomenter of strife,
and is lending his influence to a
policy that would be ruinous to
this country. The only way
that the people of this country
can feel secure in their property
rights, to say nothing of the
sanctitv of their homes. is for
the Democrats to remain, abso-
lutely, in power. The man who
claims to be Democrat and Of
fers for Office on the Independ-
ent ticket, is not made of the
proper stuff to invite Democrat
ic sympathy or support. If he
is unwilling to take his chances
along with his party associates
in the Democratic primary, he is
worthy of the support OF
Democrats in the General Elec.
ton. Look we'll at your ticket,
before voting it, and scratch of

CulfiUafion Of Tobacco
 h Alabama ls Extending

That there is growing confidence in the projects of cuifivating tobacco in the Southern counties of the State was further shown yesterday by the giving notice to the Secretary of State Of the organization of company known as the Mobile County Sumatra Company, with capital stock of sio.- 900.
 The purposes of this corporation are to experiment with the tobacco cultsva- tion. the company to raise the species of weed known as the shade-grown ssSumatra." Under the articles of in- corporation the company Is granted the right to grow the tobacco in any part of the State but it is probable that the farming win be confined to the south ern counties.
 The precise nature of the business to be undertaken by the Mobile Counts Sumatra Company is best set out m the following copy of the statement filed with the Secretary of State. giv- ing the purposes of the organization:
 "The cultivation Of shade grown Su- matra tobacco and other tobaccos Tn the county of Mobile and such other counties and places as shall hereafter be found profitable; the establishment of suitable and needfui tobacco ware houses and barns and other buildings necessary or needfui to the cultivation

 GET AWAY WITH MONEY
warraat. were sworn Out Yesterday
 Before Justice n. c. Young.

warrants were yesterday sworn out before Justice of the Peace B. C., Young, for the arrest of Joseph Caro- and solomon Abraham. on the charge of securing money under false pre- tenses The warrants were turned over to police headquarters for execution.
 It is alleged that the two men want ed arrived in town but short time ago and applied to Rabbi Ehrenreich of Temple Beth-or for funds which would enable them to go into the street peddiing business. The rabbi after hearing their story and satisfying him. self as to their honesty, loaned the pair $50. It Is said.
 Taking this money and hiding 1t on their persons. the pair then went to the store of J. 1enie, and asked to be furnished goods which they would sell on commission. Mir. Henle also ap4 peared satisfied as to the honesty of the pair and gave them goods valued at SITS.
 After securing the cash value for the goods secured from the firm of J. Henle. the pair skipped town. taking the di- rection of Mobile. 1t is thought.
 Hearing no reports from the pair for several days. Mir. Henie became suspi- cious and tried to find the pair Ills search proved to be futile. and the war rants were accordingly sworn out be- fore Justice Young.
 The police are working on the case.

FREE FOR ALL FIGHT FOLLOWS
 FESTIVITIES.
Bride and Groom Are Locked Up Bat Are Later Reienss6--Fosr Men Are Probably Fatally
 Stabbed.

Chicago, Feb. 2s.---Four men were stabbed in a manner that is likely to prove fatal. fifteen others including a policeman. were severely cut and sew ersI others slightly injured in a riot between factions of Polish ceiebrators early today.
 The fight marked the end of festiv- ities in the saloon of Joseph Kuta. 73 guests at the wedding of Leo chasski and Mary Wadya. The conflict had It's origin in an old controversy between the two factions of Poles and a free for all fight. in which knives, beer bot ties. chairs and tables were used. fol- lowed several quarre1s which occurred early in the evening. The men who will probably die are James Grimm. John Lubetzesl<i, John Wadya, brother of the bride, and Stanley wudasek.
 All of these men were frishtfully cut, the lips and ears of Wadya being s1ashed off. Policeman John McDon- ough, who was detailed at the wedding, was cut on the hands and his uniform ripped to pieces. A riot call was sent in and a strong force of police were sent to the saloon. where. after a se- we're fight. they succeeded iH arrest ing twenty of the rioters. After be- ing taken to the police station John Wadya attempted to kill Stanley Wud- asek, who had tainted from loss of blood. wadya. however fainted while struggling with two policemen.
 The bride and groom were lock cd up in cell. but were later released.
