THE DEMOCRATIC. FIGHT FOR
TIFF

The Democratic party must make
a good fight this year if its existence
as an important political power is to
be preserved. Of this there are por-
tentious signs.
For instance, a year ago, the Pop,
ulists of Georgia., supported Hoke
Smith; while this year they plowed
him under This indicates that that
faction will control the party or
send it down to defeat. Another in
dication is afforded by the following
conversation which correspondent
of the Courier-J ournal recently had
with the late James K. Jones. The
correspondent says:
But the strongest point he made
in his talk was the one that his party
was destined to lose majority of
the Catholic vote of the country, by
reason of the shrewd politics played
by Roosevelt in the Philippines. I
suppose you know he said, that in
1904 the Pope himself indicated his
wishes to his American cardinals that
President Roosevelt was his friend
and should be elected, and I suppose
you also know that the wishes of the
Pope were carried out. Why, in
Tammany Hall alone, 10000 Catho-
lie members deserted Parker and
voted for Roosevelt
"'This was pretty bad on us, when
one looks back to the days of 1866
and remembers that had not the
Democratic party squelched Know

ton of whites are too ignorant to
learn anything.
> The Sentinel does not indicate how
the Afro-American can be made a
more efficient worker, but probably
has reference to some kind of school
training. That can effect but little.
What the 4Afro-American of the South
needs is an opportunity to become
an owner of the soil, to have his
own home and to develop his man
hood. To be an eficients worker is
an attribute of manhood, of the high
est manhood; and this SO far as the
Afro-Amer;can is concerned, is what
the South is using its utmost en-
deavors to prevent.

Then the trusts turned their atten-
ton to that other glorious patriot,
Jeff Davis. Knowing that the state
Democratic convention would BE
composed of high-collared roosters,
the trusts did not fail to see that here
was favorable opportunity for put
ting the rollers under Jeff. 1t
grasped the opportunity, and not
only smashed up Jeffs hopes of be-
ing one of the sbig four" but actual
ly caused him to be Kissed in a most
unmannerly way, while he was oc-
cupying a humble seat on the
ground floor.
If things go on in this way, in a
short time the Southern rabble rous-
ers will be in politics, what mathe-
maticians call an irrelevant factor.

THE TRUSTS AT WORK.

There is evidence of the most over
towering and overwhelming nature
that the trusts are engaged in a
stealthy, malicious and vindictive
scheme to down the most eminent,
far-seeing and patriotic statesmen of
the South and are using both of the
leading political parties as a means
to that end -
First, this freebooting and maraud-
ing gang undermined the great and
noble Vardaman and drove him to
the obscurity Of little hamlet, some
where on Yalabusha river.
Then attention was given to the
great and only Hoax Smith; and by
the most nefarious strategy, his
downfall was accomplished. The
trusts caused the intelligent and
highly educated crackers of Georgia

Hawk Kills imported PARTRIDGE.


The Hungarian cartridges received
from the state fish and game commits
sioners were released Wednesday. The
birds, with the exception of two, put
up strong fight when released.
These two were a little weak.
While Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Wilkins
were coming down the park road after
releasing the birds the dog with them
stopped and came to point. Think
ing one of the birds might have light
ed there, the men went to investigate
AS they approached the spot large
hawk arose with one of the cartridges
in it's talons. Thomas Delaney, the
keeper of the park, had no gun, but
one was secured from a neighbor.
Though the men waited until dark,
the hawk did not return. If not killed
the hawks will no doubt get the rest
of the ten Hungarian birds released
in the park.

As there is great ,clamor at this
time about the high price of paper,
Congress might make a great reduc-
ton by not publishing So many
leave to print" speeches in the Con-
gressional Record If it would be
bore to members to listen to the
speeches, it would be still more in
to1erable bore for anybody to read
them. The people can dodge into
the cloak-rooms just as easily as the
members; and there is nothing in the
Constitution, thank the Lord, to pre-
vent their doing so, -.

Speaking of disfranchisement, Sen
ator Hopkins said in an interview:
Under the operation of State con-
situations in this country today, a
comparatively few persons at the
South are entrusted with power equal
to that enjoyed by a great number of
persons at the North. a
Take the State of South Carolina
for example, where there are 100000
white persons and 100000 Afro--.mer-
leans. In that state Afro Americans
are not allowed to vote, and the result
is that the 100000 whites there exer-
else, in the Federal Government, as
much power as do 100000 persons in
Illinois.

''Now, it is a mere commonplace to
state that such a condition is a tray
esty on representative government. If
that order of things continues, the
time will not be long before the liber-
ties Of the people, white as we'll as
black, will be disregarded. Such a
government may be administered in
telligently for time, but it can never
in any sense be said to be free. The
spirit of unjust discrimination runs
through the warp and wool of it,
weaving a political fabric that is oil
garchic and despotic, and subversive
of republican principles and republi-
can institutions"

Mena News-Democrat Says He will Get
Solid Vote of That County.

crat says
While Mr.. Donagney has visited
nearly every part OF the state in
his campaign, be has neglected to
visit this county, altho we hope he
will find time to do so before the
primary. However, 1t is hardly
necessary to do so to increase his
vote here. From the best evidence
obtainable he will receive almost
the solid vote of this county.
Kirby and McFarlane are not in it
at all here, and while Mr.. Hinemon
is conceded to be we'll qualified
and would make an excellent gov
erdor, almost everybody believes
he will be fourth in the race tor
the nomination, and that will prac-
tically give the entire vote TO Mr..
Donaphey-and it should.

SECOND CLASS pOSTOFf|CE
Conway Already Sure of That
Distinction.
Receipts for Past Three Quarters Already
Exceed Sum Required for Second
Glass Offices.

Conway is already assured of the
distinction of postoftice of the
second class with its attendant ad-
vantages, according to statement
of Postmaster O. J. Owen. The
classification of postoffce as we'll
as the salary of the postmaster is
based upon the annual receipts of
the Office for the year ending
March 81. To become a postofice
of the second class an Office must
have receipts of $4,000 per annum.
Three quarters OF the present
fiscal year have passed and the
receipts already exceed the sum
required, without reference to the
fourth quarter. The total receipts
for the quarter ending June 80,
September 80 and December 81,
1907 amount to S8345. If the
fourth quarter does no more than
equal the average Of the same
quarter tor two years past, it will
bring the annual receipts up to
$40, o,579.S3 or nearly $4,000 more
than Is necessary to entltle the Of
fee to a second class rating.
With a postofflce of the second
class free mail delivery within the
city limits can be obtained, as well
as a number of other improve,
ments in the service. The increas,
ed receipts will also add tidy sum
to the post masters salary, and
his compensation ior the next
fiscal year will probably be in the
neighborhood of $500.

INSIST ON SEPARATE OFFICE
Merchants Refuse to Accept
Free Delivery.
As Compromise in Bettering Delivery OF
Express Here Office Being
Installed

Refusing to accept free delivery
of express in the business districts
as a compromise in the bettering
the express service in this city, the
Board of Trade and merchants of
Conway insisted upon the installa-
ton of separate Office, as ordered
by the railroad commission some
weeks ago.
Route Agent w. P. Eskridge of
the Pacific Express Co., was in
Conway Monday and made the
proposition to the patrons OF the
company here that if they would
ask the commission to rescind the
order requiring them to maintain a
separate Office, the company would
install free delivery service of ex-
press within the business district.
A meeting Of the Board of Trade
was called to consider the matter,
but only a few attended. The
question was then submitted to the
merchants and members of the
board by calling on them at their
places of business. Out of 40 who
expressed themselves on the ques-
ton, "a insisted upon the separate
Office and IS favored free delivery
as a compromise.
Mr. E>kridge then let the con-
tract for the separate Office to S. NJ.
Apple. A room was cut off the
north end of the depot and the
work was almost completed yes
terday afternoon.

MONEY SITUATION RELIEVED
"Lid' Taken Off in This city
Yesterday.
Depositers Once More Payable
In Currency ON Demand

The last trace of the panic which
has afflicted the. country since ear
ly in October disappeared in this
city yesterday when both the Bank
of Conway and the Faulkner Coun-
ty Bank made the announ cement
that all funds on deposit in these
institutions were payable in cur
rency on demand. Notices were
received yesterday morning from
the Little Rock banks, through
which the local banks do the great
er part OF their business, that the
currency stringency was at an end
and that they would resume pay
ments in cash.
For month or more, however,
the two Conway banks have been
meeting all practical demands for
currency. The only difficulty un-
der which they have been laboring
was an inability to obtain cash on
shipments OF cotton to the Little
Rock buyers, which necessarily
llmlleu the payments IN currency
for cotton bought by the local
merchants.
The people Of this locality have
accepted the financial situation
with good grace and have regis
tered tew complaints against the
banks on account of their inability
to obtain currency. Some money
has been in circulation all along.
although several of the cotton buy
ing firms have paid as high as four
per cent premium for currency,
and the local banks were never
compelled to issue clearinghouse
certificates, cashiers checks or
other mediums OF exchange in the
place OF cash.
