A WONDERFUL CLOCK

A slab-sided, mud covered granger entered a clock store the other even- ing, and with bewildred look asked: "Mister, is this were man kin get a clock?n "Yes, sir" said the clerk s'Wall,' said the granger, 'what be that ticker worth?" pointing to piece of time-recording mechanism on the shelf That, sir,'' said the clerk, lis wonderful timepiece; it is worth $200 and will run three years without winding" "Great Scott.n gasped the granger, ''three years without winding. Say, mister, how long would the blamed thing run if it was wound up?" Ky

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE

The fourth and last quarterly con- ference for Newark station will be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 10 and II, by our genial and efficient presiding elder, Bro. A. F. Skinner.
 Brethren, it is needful that we sspull ourselves together,n and begin in earnest to get ready to make full re- port at the annual conference to be held at Jonesboro the 16th of Decem- Der. The report to be presented then is two-fold-yours and mine: yours as to the material interests of the church, and mine as to the spiritual.
 We are fully able to make full re- port, one that will be creditable to our church at Newark. Eyes all over the White River conference are looking at us, and ears are listening for notes of victory from Newark station. We can make a full report and not sim gle member touch the point of self-de- nial. And this is Bible doctrine self denial.
 On next Sunday at the II o'clock service I hope every member of our chuhch will be present. The subject to be discussed is, "Why I am Christian. At night service in praise of the great temperance victory in our state. PASTOR.

THE SMALLPOX SCARE
Situation at Sulphur Rock Not as Bad
 as Reports Have Indicated

Editor The Journal:-I understand the report has gone out that Sulphur Rock has quarantined, and that it is a S25 fine for any one to come to town.
 Who ever heard of such an absurd thing? It seems that ony one with a thimble full of brains would know better.
 The only quarantine there has been is on w. R. Riee's and Dr. Bevens' houses, and an order issued that they should stay in, be vaccinated or pay a S25 fine.
 There has only been four cases in town and three of them hardly went to bed.
 While Miss Rice was dangerously i'll for few days, do not think there is & particle of danger in any one coming to town, and the doctors bear me out in this If I did not believe this, I would not say it for my right arm. I have no right to say there is not a case of smallpox in town, but have a right to my opinion.
 The excitement has quieted down, and I am glad to say that Miss Rice is improving rapidly and will be able to be out in a few days.

MccuIIoch Makes Request.
-'--- --VAnS'

"The present situation, due to the alleged appearance of night riders in Arkansas, which has already had marked effect on the cotton market in some parts of Arkansas, appeals to me as being a very serious one. intend to write to John Bowers of Jacksonville, president of the Arkan- sas Farmers Union, immediately and ask him to either call an emergency meeting of the Arkansas union for the purpose of taking steps to check the night rider movement, or write letters to all parts of the state at once and ask the union leaders to do everything possible to check the growth of this movement. I believe that the proper solution is to appeal 10 the business men and cotton buy CTS and ask them not to buy cotton
 The foregoing declaration was made by R. H. McCulloch of Beebe, chair man of the Executive Committee of the Arkansas Farmers Union and sec retary of the national organization of the union. The statement was given out upon Mir McCulloch's return from Little Rock.
 The statement is considered to be of unusual importance as indicating the position that may be taken by the Farmers Union in the present threat ened night riders movement in this state It is interpreted to mean that the union will ask the cotton buyers and merchants of Arkansas to cease business entirely as far as the buying of cotton is concerned.
 "rhe union is opposed to such thing as night riding" declared Mr. McGulloch Saturday, and will do all that it can to stamp out the growth of such movement. However 1t seems to me that the only possible so- lution of the situation at this time IS to ask the merchants to stop buying cotton throughout the entire state. This is being tried at Paragould and is successful in checking the further appearance of night riders. If the merchants want to take the cotton on indebtedness that would be all right, but we would ask that he cease buy ing any
 But if merchants are allowed 10 take the cotton to apply on indebted ness would not the result be another scheme for financing distressed cot ton?'" was asked Mir. McCulloch.
 "In way it would" he replied. However there is no doubt but that the distressed cotton will be handled all right and without trouble without the aid of any such scheme as that

NO SMALLPOX IN NEWARK

The report is being circulated that there is smallpox in Newark. Such is not the case, however. There is not now, nor has not been, a case of smallpox here, or any disease resem- bling smallpox.
 The only cases of smallpox in the county so far as The Journal has been able to ascertain are at Sulphur Rock, and there seems to be some doubt as to the cases there being gen. uine smallpox.

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.
Humorist Points Out What He Consld-
ers Some Wrong Conceptions.

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused a wrong idea OF the
use and value Of money.
THE spendthrift says that money.
being round, was made to roll. The
miser says that. being fiat, 1t was
made to stack up. Both are wrong.
Strangely wrong. too. in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus
tralan gold diggers. These simple
old fellows. though worth perhaps .
half million or more, live in the sim
pie dug-outs and shanties of their lean
early days.
Once, lecturing. l landed at an Aus
tralian port. There was no porter in
sight to carry my luggage. Seeing .
roughlooking old fellow leaning
against post with his hands in his
pockets. beckoned to him and said:
"See here. if you carry these bags

The man scowled at me. He took
three or four gold soveregns from his
pocket, threw them into the sea,
scowled at me again. and walked away

Proposed Rate Conference.

Chicago.-A joint conference be-
tween the commercial and industrial
interests Of the country and the rail
roads of the East to consider the whole
question of advanced freight rates
from all points of view is assured.
That this conference probably will
lead to submitting the issue either to
President Roosevelt, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, CIR an impair
tial board of arbitration for final de-
cision also is likely, according to the
expressed opinions of railroad men.
Apparently the olive branch of peace
rather than the war club, either of
which alternatives was presented by
the shipping interests in the resolu-
tions which were the outcome of last
Fridays conference. will be the choice
Of Eastern railroads.
While it is probable the necessity Of
the railroads for more revenue, either
through advanced freight rates or re-
duced employees wages, will be con-
sidered in conference with all phases
of the problem, it is not probable that
a contingent reduction Of wages will be
considered II the issue Is left for arbi-
tration or building decision with the
interstate commerce commission. The
commission has no power to fix or de-
termine any phase of the wage ques-
tion and therefore can only consider
whether an advance In rates is just
and reasonable.
The threat of reduced wages is re-
garded by manufacturers and shippers
as a measure more easily threatened
than put into effect.

KEEP GARMENTS IN CONDITION.
Hint for the Woman Who Would
Appear Well Groomed.

The woman who always looks well
dressed and well groomed, although
her pin money is but half of yours, is
the one who never let's her clothes
wear out.
When she discards any garment it
shows no unsightly rents and tears
or any spots and stains; it simply is
worn too thin for further use. She
mends the instant a need appears.
Mending Is lost art nowadays.
There are few women who can mend
intelligently. This perfectly groomed
woman, however, keeps threaded
needles in her pin cushion. where they
will be ready for instant use. A rip
or split in her glove is mended as soon
as it appears and the braid of her
skirt is mended before she catches
her heel in 1t, endangering her life or
at least her bones.
The braid that is beginning to fray
is ripped off and turned, or replaced
with new. The little jagged tear,
where she caught her skirt on a nail
is mended with piece Of adhesive It's
sue such as is sold at the notion
counters for just such mending.
Woolen underwear is patched be-
fore there is a hole. The thin spots
are detected and carefully covered
with patch before they wear through
and when any undergarment Is too
far gone to make further patching
feasible 1t is cut down for children's
wear.
With a stitch here and another one
there ones clothes can be kept In per-
feet condition If all spots are removed
as soon as they appear and creases
are smoothed away by careful and
thorough pressing.

MANUFACTURERS WOULD ELM.
MATE CLASS lEGISuA-
TlON FROM PARTY
PLATFORM. rai
DEN0UNCE CRAFTERS
DECLARE WESTERN CONGRESS.
MEN ARE CONTROLLED
BY LAND GRAFT CON-
BINATIONS.

New York-Following upon the ac-
against political agitation of dema'
gogue nature, calculated to set capital
and labor at odds, the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers. in annual
convention here, Tuesday took stand
against the raising of class issues by
the great political parties of the nation.
This action was in the form of a resolu-
tion worded as follows:
Resolved, That the president OF
this association be authorized and in
structed to select such members as
ne may deem proper to serve with him
as a committee to represent this as
sociation before the national execu-
live committees of the two political
parties and that he invite the cooper
alton of committees from other asso-
Citations to the end that class legisla-
ton planks may be omitted from the
platforms of both parties"
A decided stand was taken against
the advance in freight rates, which
the trunk lines of the country have
announced to be impending. The
manufacturers seek an amiable ad-
juStment of matters with the rail-
roads, but failing, they announce their
intention of resisting the proposed ad-
vance in the courts by process OF in
junction or otherwise.
The association indorsed the forma-
ton of a permanent tariff commission
to revise tariff schedules upon the
principle of international costs. The
association ordered telegram sent to
the conferees of the House of Repre-
sentatives on the postoffice appropria-
ton bill, requesting them to favor en-
actment of the ocean mail subsidy
measure now under dispute between
the two houses.
The association adopted resolu-
ton favoring closing OF the markets
of the Philippines to trade from other
countries.
bitter attack upon western con-
gressmen, in which he declared that
they are controlled, one and all, by
the land-graft combination of the
west. one of the strongest grating
combinations anywhere" was made by
George H. Maxwell of Chicago, execu-
tive chairman of the National Irriga-
ton Association, in the closing address
Of the session.
The committee on national incor-
poration recommended that the asso-
citation should encourage the opinion
that federal Incorporation, if not a
national necessity, would prove to be
at least a national blessing and that
1t becomes our duty to encourage in
every practical way consideration Of
the subject.
