WAGON BEYOND CONTROL
Quitman Farmer Has Exciting Experience on Hillside near Conway.

Coming down the Cadron Gap hill at Joe Hiett's place near Con- way yesterday afternoon, with a wagon loaded with five bales of cotton, the team driven by Thomas Dawes of Quitman lost control of the load and went down the hlll- side at terrific gait. The wagon plunged through a barbed wire fence and threw off the cotton, MT. Dawes jumping and narrowly escaping injury. The damage was slight.
 Mir. Dawes hauled his load of a ton and quarter all the way from Quitman, a distance of 30 miles, with only two horses-an indica- ton of the excellent condition of Faulkner county's roads.
 The accident would not have occurred had the wagon been equipped with a brake.

In an interesting letter y yesterday Walter Wellman, an independent Republican staff correspondent of several papers, who is very accurate in his political observations, says that Ohio, the home of Taft, is to- day one of the most doubtful states in the Union. The reasons for this, as pointed out by Mir. Wellman, are three distinct revolts in the rank of the Republicans. The first and most important is that of the labor organizations, the member ship of which has heretofore been almost solidly Republican, but which is now unit in supporting Bryan. The second is the revolt in the negro vote, which amounts to about 40, GOO in Ohio. Leading negroes of the state are making daily speeches urging their race to support Bryan as rebuke to Taft for his action in the Brownville matter and his treatment of Foraker, whom the Ohio negroes idolize. The third element is re- volt of Foraker himself, who Wellman says is working in quiet but effective way to line up his organization against the Republi- can nominee who occasioned his downfall.

Just because you think the state and congressional district are safely Democratic is no reason why Dem- ocratic voters should not go to the polls on Tuesday, November ?, and cast their ballots for Bryan and Kern electors and for Chas. c. Reid for congressman. Lack of interest in the election four years ago resulted in large number of counties voting for Republican electors, and the state at large gave the Parker electors a plurality of only 17,574. The normal Demo cratic majority in Arkansas is over 60, 900, and we ought to roll at least 75,ooo for Bryan this year.

After being prohibited by the chancery court from using the church except on stated occasions, Bowe set up a tent near the church building and his rivals who had possession of the building claimed that Bowe's serv- ices created such all uproar that they were unable to proceed.
