necessary. Said Donaghey was
trying to buy the governors Of

and scurrilous charges. He bold
ly declared that every boodler,
gra ter and scoundrel in the
state would vote for Donaghey.
Said Pindall, Ludwig and Tuck

Declared that Pindall was send

Hon. w. S. Goodwin made a

Last and least in stature, but
not in brain came Minor Wallace,
our presnt Congressman and can

rich corporations. He recon-
mended the election of a Lleuten-

LITTLE ROCK
NEWS BUDGET
Donaghey a Sure Winner
Ball Season Opens.---Jeff
Runs Away.

Little Rock, Mar. II. By this
time next week every voter in
the state will be ready to cast his
vote for the candidate of his
choice, and all indications point
to George w. Donaghey as the
candidate to receive large ma
jority of these votes. Never be-
fore, since he announced, has
everything appeared so favorable
for Donaghey as at the present
time, with the indications point
ing to the increase of his follow
ing between now and the time
for the casting of votes. The
people have reached the determi-
nation to cast a vote for a man
whom they can trust, for all
through his candidacy, George
w. Donaghey has stood by his
principles, not abandoning one to
grasp another, and above all
things, being sincere in what
ever announcement he made.
This has caused the people who
have analyzed the candidates to
decide on Donaghey as being the
one with the courage of his con-
victions, and that the best man
to place at the head of the states
executive department.
From every section of the state
letters of encouragement to the
Donaghey headquarters come.
The writer's are sanguine in their
belief that Donaghey will win,
and report that the public arti-
Gle, that his strength is waning,
are false, for the people refuse
to fall before the ruse to split
his vote, and will stick to the
people 5 candidate to the bitter
end.
The real base ball season will
open in Little Rock this after
noon. when Boston American
league team will try out with
Mike Finn's Arkansas Travellers,
of the Southern league. Finn
has over 20 players on his try-out
list, and Little Rock fans believe
from this number he will pick
the team which will win the
Southern league pennant.
4 told you So, has been the
general remark since Jeff Davis
spoke at Perryville, and ran
away, refusing to stay and hear
Rhoton's caustic deuunciation of
him. Senator Davis cancelled the
Casa date as Rhoton had a chance
Of forcing him to remain and
hear the reply in that town. He
remarked that he would rather
be dead than spend the night in
Casa with Rhoton. There are not
a few people in Little Rock who
would have gone to Casa, had
there been any chance Of the two

nice t through this section. Some
of the farmers have been plow-
ing out their corn crops, but on
account of heavy rains it is too
wet for any kind of work on the
l.fanns. Through this section
cotton crops are very nice.

Crops Around Timmonsville
The Prohibition Victory.
Correspondence of The Robesonian

Twill again try to give you a
few dots from this part of the
country, but it is a very difficult
task as the country people are so
busy on their farms that there is
not much news stirring.
tits very dry weather here and
| think corn is suffering very
much for. the want of rain, but
cotton is doing as we'll as could
be expected. The oat crop has
been harvested and was very
good. Some of our farmers are
curing tobacco this week. There
is a great amount of it around in
this section and it is believed by
some people that the prices will
be down this year.
Well, the writer is very glad to
know that the good people of
North Carolina voted prohibition
and have got a dry State; and it
is hoped that the adjoining
States will soon wake up to a
sense of their duty and follow
suit. Of course we have county
prohibition in this State, but what
does that amount to when the
next county sells just twice as
much as before. | think there
should be either State dispensary
or State prohibition, as it is not
fair any other way. But for me,
:. had rather have prohibition.
With best wishes to both edi
tor and readers. =
