HINEMON WANTS
TO MEET DAVIS
viii Make Effort to Speak From Same
Platform With the Senator II Da.
Wis Takes stump for Kirby.

John II. Hinemon passed through
Pine Bluff last night en- route to Ri
son, whore ne and Messrs Kirby and
McFarlape will resume their joint
campaign today. When asked if Mr..
Donaghey would be with the other
candidates in this series of appoint
ments, Mr.. Hineman replied: $50 far
az l know he will not. Although MI.
Donaghey has criticised me in his
public speechs he has, as yet, given
me no opportunity to reply to him be-
fore his audience"
Asked what would be his attitude in
the event Senator Davis took the
stump in support OF Mr.. Kirby, Mr..
Hinemon said 81 shall certainly en-
deavor to meet the senator at all his
appointments, 1 want to meet the
candidate for governor, whomsoever
he may be, and if Nj. Kirby is only
a proxy for the senator, then l shall
endeavor to meet Senator Davis, the
real candidate, at all his appointments
in the gubernatorial campaign.
think the senator is exhibiting great
ingratitude to his equally devoted fol-
lower. Mr.. Donaghey, in thus espous-
ing the cause of Mr.. Kirby. l am
informed that Mr.. Donaghey has ar
IDENTIFY supported Senator Davis in all
his recent political campaigns, and it
does seem to me that an ordinary
sense of appreciation would induce
him to keep measurably silent when
two of his supporters thus oppose
each other for high public Office"

D. H. DUNCAN'S RISE
TO FAME AND FORTUNE

orange groves in Florida and has
also recently financed some large
timber deals in various Southern
states.
Twelve years ago Henry DUNCAN
was working for the Bluff City
Lumber Company for SIS per
month. He knew little about the
lumber business, but his aptness
and fine business ability helped him
to come forth prominently. He went
up the ladder in the lumber bust
ness until one day he and Mr..
Rutherford worked .. little deal"
down in Louisiana that Melted the
Bluff City Lumber Company, which
included j, r. and Robert York,
John +. Rutherford and c. j. Sam
stag, a cool one million dollars. 1t
was nnoWn as the Standard Lum-~
Der Company deal and it will go
down in history as one OF the best
deals ever made IN this section OF
the country. In the deal were
few others. one numbered among
them being r. l.. Rutherford, a
brother of John F. Rutherford.
who also received snug little sum
from the grand total profits.
This is what gave Henry Duncan
his start and from that time on un
til yesterday, when Mr.. Duncan ex-
planned it, everything he touched
seemed to turn to gold. In talk
ing to friend yesterday Mr.. Dun
can said: MY greatest ambition
was to become independently rich
that my family might enjoy the
best of everything. When it did
come it came so fast that I hardly
knew how to invest it, Mr.. Dun
cans income for the past several
years is said, by those who know
to be $4,000 per year. He is re-
ported to have stated yesterday
that he did not favor getting into
the lumber business again, but that
his great admiration and love for
John Rutherford prompted him to
help him out in time Of trouble. Mr..
Duncan figured that none Of tho
stockholders in the Bluff City would
have much left if they continued
wrangling in the courts. John
rutherford and Henry Duncan have
always been like brothers. They
understand each other to the letter
and there is no telling what they
will accomplish in the way Of great
things with all OF the Bluff City
properties in their hands and I'M
der their sole management. AT ono
of the mills, the Clio plant, which
was included in the deal yesterday,
is stored twenty million feet OF
lumber. This lumber is in demand
but mas been tied up by a recent
order of the Jefferson chAncer$
court. 1t will be sold Immediately
by the new owners.

Man Who Became One of
the Owners of Bluff City
Lumber Company's Vast
Interests, Worked for
That Concern for SIS Per
Month.
HIS TRUE FRIENDSHIP
For John +. Rutherford Alone Prompt.
ed His Efforts to Stop the Recent
1rOubles-1Deposits Ten Thousand
Dollars to Show Good Faith.

The finishing touches on the Dun
can-Rutherford- York deal, involv-
ing nearly two million dollars worth
Of property, and which resulted in
John F. Rutherford and D. Henry
Duncan acquiring all Of the proper
ties, real, personal and otherwise
Of the Bluff City Lumber Company,
one Of the largest concerns of its
kind in the Southwest, were added
Just before the midnight hour
Thursday night and the final agree
ments signed by all the interested
parties
No statement was issued today
relative to the exact consideration
or amount paid by D. II. Duncan in
assuming all the stock Of Captain
J. B. York, Robert York and c. L.
Byokning, the three retiring stock
holders in the Bluff City Company.
Il Us stated and autho.i'otiyely
too that q little more than $780,
900 was paid by D. II. Duncan IN
cash and securities to the retiring
members Of the firm for their fifty
four per cent OF the stock. I'M
mediately after the deal Mr.. Dun
can sold four per cent OF his new
stock to Mr. Rutherford. The lat
ter with his wife, Mrs. n. E. Ruth
erford, already held AZ per cent OF
the company's stock, hence the ad-
ditional four per cent gives them an
equal half interest in the big con-
Germ. win Mr.. Duncan and his wife
holding the other fifty per cent.
Mr.. Duncan left last night for
New Orleans, where he will remain
for several days on important bust
ness. He will then return TO this
city and complete the purchase, az
ter which he will move his family
to this city again from Orlando,
Florida He and Mr.. Rutherford
will be actively engaged in the man
agement of the Bluff City's affairs
and as soon as the deal is perfectly
consummated, all the mills Of the
company will be started full blast.
Mr.. Duncan will bring his auto to
this city when he moves his house
hod effects here. His big white
steamer is said to be one of the
costliest in use in Florida and was
made to order for him a few months
ago.
When the final papers were sign
ed up last night, Mr.. Duncan is said
to have given check for $4,000
To insure his good faith in the deal.
No one doubts the sincerity Of his
intention, because Henry Duncan is
looked upon as having more real,
ready cash in local banks at this
time than any other man in the
city, several millionaires included.
or late Mr.. Duncan has made much
money in. the buying and selling OF

WHO WILL PAY FOR
STATE PRIMARIES?
Sub Committee in a Guam
Diary Just Now as to
Where They Are to Sc
cure Necessary Funds.
ALEXANDER TALKS
Says 1t Would Be Imposing on Stale
Candidates to Ask Them to Deiray
the Expenses OF Primar! Held in
This County.

VIII the Democrats of jefferson,
county be generous to personally de-
fray the expenses Of holding the STAG
primary election in this county GA
March 25th, or will it be necessary 70,
Chairman Joe P. Alexander and tn,
other two members OF the sub-commi,
tee from the Jefferson County Demo
cratic Central Commute to call OH
the various candidates for state am.
district Offices to pony up" and pas
for it?
That is the question that is caus.
| ing the committee no little worry just
now. Chairman Alexander and F. II.
Walker and A. 3. Jones, the other tw,,
members OF the committee, may me [
the coming week to take some de-
cisiye action on the matter. To hold
primary election in this county ne
cessitates the expenditure of about
1880. The poll books and tickets
alone, together with other sheets ne
| cessary at the various polling places,
cost in the neighborhood Of $3.50, not
to mention the days salary that is
usually paid each judge and clerk in
the different voting precincts. Chair
man Alexander estimates the total
| cost OF holding a primary election at
$500.
In this respect Jefferson county is
differently affected at this time. 1t
is one OF the very few counties in the
State which has separated it's State
and county primaries, and is the only
county that has thus far held its pri-
mary election. The primary election
held On January I'd was held at the
cost OF the various candidates, as
much as $50 each being donated by
the two candidates for sheriff to
make up the necessary amount re-
quired in properly holding an cleo
ton. The other candidates donated
according to the emoluments OF the
Offices they sought.
1t would be rather hard to call on
the various State candidates at this
time to defray the expenses OF the
primary in this county, said Mr..
Alexander this morning in discussing
the matter. considering the fact that
they are being called on for their
part Of the expenses incurred in sew
entyfour other counties over the
Estate. Ii only 81 is asked from each
candidate in each county in the State
it means a total donation of SIS for
each man. This is imposing on some
of the candidates. Many of them are
men of small means and they are
unable TO give toward the election
fund in each county. Yet they do not
dare refuse such request for fear
that it would injure their chances for
the nomination.
Il will probably call a meeting of
the sub-committe soon to consider the
matter as far as this county is con-
cerned. I am in favor Of calling on
the Democrats in this county and ask
ing them to donate whatever they
can toward holding the State primary.
II am sure we can raise enough to
insure the payment of bills incurred
in securing the actual necessities.
Then We will make an effort to get
the judges and clerks to serve at
the various polling places without
charge"

BRINGS THEATER TO SICK BED
London society Entertainer Hires
Out TO ConvaIescent Patients and
Makes Them Forget

LONDON. Sept. 12-(Special. THE bene-
fetal effects of a visit TO the theater by a
c~onvalescont patient can now be had by
Londoners without stirring from their bed
or couch. George Silwlll. a well-known So
ciety entertainer. has, after months of prac-
tice, cultivated a most soothing bedside
manner, and for a substantial fee will while
away the weary hours for those compelled
to stay indoors.
This issue Of consotng the convalescent
is a new one and all Mr.. Silwills own.
Although he has not been in the business
long, he really is so popular ard in such
demand that his affairs are in the hands
Of an agent, and should you want his at
tendance you must make your engagements
some time ahead. There Is no secret as to
the methods employed. Silwills list OF ac-
compllshments is so extensive that they
defy competition on any extended scale. He
is an elocutionist of rare power. He is an
expert in reading the human countenance,
although l hardly need to tell you that he
doesn't always tell his patients all that
he reads there. What he doesn't know
about Shakespeare, Dickens, Virgil, Homer
ard every other author of note isn't worth
knowing or wouldn't be OF any interest to
his customers.
one OF the pest elements OF TINS lnnoNa-
ton is that you can hire Mr.. silwill on
trial. and should he not prove to your
liking, return him with thanks and no hard
feelings. In order to introduce himself to
the public he has published a little pam
phlet that sets forth the benefits TO be de-
rived from taking a bottle of "Silwill, un-
diluted" l append a short extract:
Mr.. George Silwill undertakes to greatly
! relieve the mOnptOny of COnValeSCenCp with
out the aid of mechanical or artificial
means. Into the dreary sameness of the
sick room. Mr.. George Silwill can bring
Kaleidoscope mind pictures, which not only
engage and arrest the attention of its oc-
cupant at the time, but remain impressed
upon the hearers memory and imagination
afterwards.
In cases Of insomnia, from pain or other
causes, and i'm cases of acute depression,
Mr.. George Silwill can and does soothe and
brighten the weary hours of the sick cham
Der; In point of fact, takes the patient
away from his or her surroundings as
much as IL is possible to do so.
