VINEYARD Is NOT BACKWARD.
BUSINESS OF THE PEOPLE MORE
IMPORTANT THAN CAMPAIGNING
WILL BE Too Busy To DE-
BATE WITH WILLIAMS.

In a public letter, published in
newspapers of this county and in a
private communication, r. j. Will
liams, candidate for prosecuting
attorney of this district challenged
!. M. Vineyard to a series of joint
debates, a few days since. Mr..
Vineyard filed his reply with the
Daily World in which he practic-
ally declares that he will be too
busy looking after the interests of
the people to enter any series of
joint debates for the purpose Of
furthering his own popularity with
the voters of the district.
His letter follows:
Helena, Ark, Feb, Is, 1908.
Hon. R. j. Williams,
Forrest City, Arkansas.
My dear sir:-Yours of the
9th, stating that many people
have asked you to speak in their
neighborhood and that you could
not do so without first inviting me
to join you and also your request
that agree with you upon dates
and places when and where we
may together present our claims
for the suffrages of the people,
further stating that l may arrange
the details of the speaking to suit
myself, was this day received. By
way of explanation will say that
your letter was not mailed until
today. Some time ago, at your re-
quest, Mr.. P. r. Andrews, the
present prosecuting attorney, in
order to devote his time to his
race for attorney general, had you
to act in his stead in the Circuit
Court of White County. He has
requested me to take his place in
the Circuit Courts of Woodruff
County, and l have accepted. AS
you adopted this method of cam
paigning, it is now too late to
make any change. The court for
the Northern District of Woodruff
County will convene next Mon
day, February 18th and the Court
for the Southern District will con-
vene on Monday, March, End. l
do not know how long either of
these courts will hold and it is
more than probable that my time
will be fully occupied until the eve
of election. However I will state
that you are at liberty to make
your own schedule and to speak as
often as you may desire.
Yours very truly,
j. M. VINEYARD.

 Mauudcr's OIIyct te Calvary.

The special musical service at Trinity last night drew together crowdeu congregation. The work chosen TOT rendition by Mir Read was Maunder cantata "Olivet to Calvary. It Is need- less to say that the choir gave an eN- cellent account of their musical ability and fully maintained tine high reputa- ton they have gained as being one ot the best boy chairs in the country :: Prom 0livet to Calvary is one or Maunders most dramatic compositions, and is laid out on the same lines as Sir John Stainer's famous Crucifixion.

REPLIES TO BRYCE
Sherrard Billings, of Groton, Tells Why Americans
 Lack Visions.
TALKS TO YALE STUDENTS
In the Race for the Country's Devcl. opments Poets and Artists
 Arc Missed.

At the university service in Battell chapel yesterday morning, Rev, sher- rard Billings, principal of Groton school replied othe question made in school replied to the question made in last spring: Where are American ar lists and poets?"
 MT. Billing took his text from pro- verbs "There must be visions or the people will die" He said that the visions come mainly with religion and that America was founded in the be- ginning upon religion. The people came here for that reason. It was the principal point with the carly settlers. Up through the early years of the col onies. through the revolution and for many years after the people were re- ligious, had poetical minds, had vii sions.
 To-day the American people are not having visions. Everything is lost in the idea of Development ef the country" The American people seem ItlAhiS tf Att'iiLt liietA Aiiiit dit N'il- turies to como in which the country can be developed. In the race for wealth and for development the ca. paicty for having visions, has laid dormant.
 But. said MT Billings. tho capacity for having visions is only dormant, not dead. Perhaps in the early history of the country there were too many visions. We are living now on tho in. terest of our stored up capital of VI. | sions.
 Permanent advance cannot he madC without visions. When the American people find that the development of tho country can be accomplished steadily | and slowly and tire of the contest fo wealth, there will be once more a re turn to visions There will be poet and artists, and the capital we hav' accumulated in the past is suflcien for the present.
