IRON MOUNTAIN
 WINS AGAINST STATE
In the Matter of Building ( Depot at Gum Springs,
 Clark County.

The state lost its case against the Iron Mountain Railroad Con- pany Monday, in the suit under the special act of 1907, requiring the company to erect and main- tain a depot at Gum Springs, in Clark county, and allowing sixty days in which to complete the station. The company set up in their defense that it was mater tally impossible for them to meet the requil ement and that its en- forcement would be equivalent to confiscation of property. Ac- tion was brought against them in the Clark County circuit court on 56 counts, aggregating a pos sible fine of $5, 1000. The suit was won by the railroad com pany in the circuit court, howev- CT, and this verdict was sus- tained by the supreme court in Mondays ruling.

D0NACHEY ISSUES
 CARD TO PEOPLE Following the Announcement of rir ]ke's With 1,.s'f'''' drdWal.

From Mondays Dinner Horn.
 Following the announcement by Mr. McFarlane of his with draWal. George w. Donaghey issues the following card:
 LITTLE ROCK, Feb. 29. To the People Of Arkansas:
 McFarlane has withdrawn from the race for Governor. His cam paign since his announcement has been made, a defense of Cal dwell & Drake, the contractors now engaged in the constrction of the Statehouse, and the circu- lation of false charges against me on account of my efforts to have the''Statehouse honestly con- structed by honest contractors.
 Anticipating him, 1 will say that he will doubtless undertake to form an alliance to further the interests of some other can- dMate hoping in that way to bring about my defeat. An al- liance between McFarlane and any other candidate should be looked upon by the honest tax payers of this State with sus- picion.
 There can be but one explana- tion of this withdrawal. He has failed to sustain the chages he has made against me. His with. drawal from the race does not mean that he will cease to fight me. Finding that the people have taken no stock in his misrepre- sentation and islanders. he has changed his tactics and will con tinue his fight in some other way.
 have the race won. l will car " 60 counties out of the 75 with a clear majority over the combin- ed opposition. Keep up the fight and write me what they say about me.
 The campaign of Senator Davis in the interest of Mir. Kirby has been a complete failure. 1 am stronger in the territory in which he has spoken than l was before his entrance into the campaign. Let him keep up the fight, have the rrce won. Very coriall yours,
 GEORGE w. DONAGHEY.

 WRITES LETTER SeCrefdry-TredSurer of Far merS' Union Warehouses;.
 Has d Say.

To the people of Nevada County:
 It appears that there is a dis satisfaction between the busi- ness men of Prescott and the farmers of Nevada county. There must be a wrong somewhere that has caused this dissatisfaction. It may be both parties have done wrong, so1let's right the wrong. If this strife continues it will prove harmful to both merchant and farmer. The farmers cannot say to the merchant we have no need of thee," neither can the merchants say of the farmers
 we have no need of thee. " So one is depending on the other. Then it behooves us to come to- gether and deal fair one with the other. We should make as few debts as possible and make the effort of our lives to meet all our obligations on time.
 This is our country, our mer- chants and our farmers. The people in town should work to build up the surrounding coun- try, and the people in the coun- try should patronize and support their home town. All businesses and professions are organized, and we farmers have organized, for self protection. We believe we have a right to put a fair price on our produce and hold it off the market until we get our price. The merchant prices his goods and holds them until he gets his price. We believe the farmers have the same right to hold their products for a profit able price as other business men do.
 1 have been told by some men, who do not raise cotton, that s cents was fair price for cotton. Now, my brother, you take your mule and children to the field and make one crop of cotton and when you get your cotton ready for market if you don't sing your little song with a different tune I will be fooled. And now. my brethren, one and all, let us join hearts and hands and deal fair one with the other, and let us be carefol in our associations and unions that we do not ask too much. Let us strive to live and let live.
 1 went into the Farmers Union with two objects in view, one to remove the speculator, who spec ulates in farm products and gets rich on the products of laboring people and l believe with the continued efforts of the Farmers Union and the help of our law makers we will remove the worth less speculator. My other object is to be able to price our produce.
 I do believe the farmers know more about the cost of farm pro- ducts than any one and he should be allowed to price his products and then hold it until he gets his price.
 We hope to see every legitimate business prosper, and we are not at enmity with any one except our enemies, and will say to them we are in for life, or during the war" Let us deal fairly and honestly with all men:
 Yours for peace and harmony,
