W. 3. WHITE FOR SHERIFF.

Today the Picayune is an
nouncing Mr.. ". B. White, of
Missouri township, as a candidate
for sheriff of Nevada county,
subject to the action of the peo-
pie at the September election.
Mr.. White has been a resident
of this county for thirty years;
is son of the late Capt. Mat
White, and is well known to ev-
cry one as a good, reputable citi-
zen.
He has letter in this week S
issue of the Picayune explaining
his reason for entering the race.
Should Mr.. White be elected
we believe he would make a good
officer.

A PICTURE.

Yes. here it is my fellow citi-
zens. Here is chain with the
following links; a drunkard, a
saloon, a law, a legislator and a
voter five links.
We go to the last one, and ask,
" Poor drunkard, How came
yousthis?' By the votes. largely,
of the churchman who claim
that forty years ago, the good
Lord took my feet out of the
mire and clay and placed them
on a rock. and put new song,
etc.
Now, let us say that of the
greater sinner of the two, the
churchman is the greater, for
I'VE that are strong ought to
bear the inhrmaties of the weak
and not to please ourselves.
1t is the most unjust thing in
all the world for men who claim
strength of characer to assist
to, in any way, allow it to be
placed in the way of these, who,
by either thoughtlessness. mean
ness, or heredity seem not able
to resist it. 1t seems to us that
the vail of these tempted ones,
when they realize their helpless
ness, would send the very pillar
of Heaven with the exclamation:
Unjust. Unjust! Unjust!

MANY SENATOR'S HAVE DIED.

There has been a notable NOR
tally in the United States Sen
ate this session, and the Grim
Reaper has cut down the young
statesmen as we'll as those whose
heads have grown hoary with
long service.
The latest to answer the call to
that office where we are taught
the election of the faithful is sure.
is Senator w. J. Bryan, of Flor
ida, the youngest member of the
body, a lawyer of great promise
and brilliance.
Since the opening of this sess-
ion there have been several
deaths, of whom six were from
the South.
Senators Morgan and Pettus,
of Alabama, were the first two,
followed by Senator Mallory. of
Florida; then Senator Latimer of
South Carolina. Senator Proctor,
Of Vermont; Senator Wythe. of
Maryland, and now Senator Bry-
an. of Florida.
Four Of these were of the
older school TT Morgan, Pettus.
Proctor and White all being be-
yond the eighties in years.
Senator Lattimer was COM
paratively young man having
been born in Edgefeld County,
South Carolina, in 1851.
Senator Bryan was only a
year or two past thirty.
1t is interesting to note In this
connection that two other men,
bers. Senator Penrose of Penns-
ylvan!a and Senator Tillman of
South Carolina are seriously i'll.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS

The Postmaster General has recent
ly issued an order to all postoffices
throughout the country to the effect
that publishers of all papers must re-
uuire subscriptions to be paid before
the expiration of a year. The order
permits the publisher no alternative
but to discontinue sending his paper to
a subscriber as soon as the time limit
expires. The penalty provided for the
violation of this order is severe, the
maximum being to shut out the entire
circulation of the paper from second
class mailing privileges.
In order that we may obey the law
we RESPECTFULLY ask that all delinquent
subscribers come forward at once and
settle up. Otherwise we will be forced
by the government to discontinue your
paper, no matter how good your credit
may be with us. 1t is a matter that is
not left to us to do what we please.
We hope that our patrons who are
affected by this order will use their ut
most endeavors to adjust their delin-
ouencies at the earliest possible date,
so that we will not be compelled to stop
sending them the PICAYUNE. We want
you to continue receiving this paper r
we are willing to do everything in our
power to retain your name on our list
but we are compelled to conform to the
order of the Postmaster General and
we trust that our friends will do their
part promptly in assisting us to prop
err adjustment of the matter at issue.

Hon. Geore w. Donaghey has
carried the State for nomination
for Governor by a plurality var
iously estimated as between TO-
600 and Is, 600. In actual returns
already tabulated he leads by
about 10000, and there are a
number of strong Donaghey

All the late returns maintain his
proportionate lead over the other
candidates, while Kirby contin-
ues to lead Hinemon by about
3. 900.

Jeff said Pay no attention to
the newspapers. He told the peo-
pie that once too often. The peo-
pie are becoming more enlight-
ened. When they have some
thing to purchase in the way of
home necessities they look for
bargains in the newspapers, and
why should they not look to the
newspapers, for enlightenment
as to the most worthy of aspir-
ants when it comes to hiring pub
lie servants.

THE WINNER.

There seems to be no doubt
whatever about the nomination
of Hon. Geo. W. Donaghey for
Governor.
His victory was won over two
of the best and cleanest men
that ever offered for governor of
Arkansas.
1t was also won over the
strongest, most corrugt, and up
to this time the most invulner-
able machine that ever cursed
Arkansas Politics.
The honor is most worthily
disposed when it is accorded to
Geo. w. Donaghay. truly man
of the people, a man who has
hewn out his own destiny by
honest and conscientious efforts.
He has had a most wonderful
organization of friends and CO.
workers throughout the whole
state, almost a townSip organ
ization, in fact; for he knew it
was necessary to combat by he
roic measures the opposition ar
rayed against him by the machine.
He was also a most thorough
and systematic ad V ert User
through the press and by means
of literature sent TO every Dem
ocratic voter in the State, and
this had great influence.
Although not gifted as an or,
ator, or even as a public speaker
he developed an ability to ex,
press himself forcibly and effec
lively, and. by his streightfor-
ward assault on what he con-

ceived to be repuls.ve to a good
government, he won many to
his standard.
Added to his personal follow
ing was the the anti-Jeff Davis
faction, a large element of which
espoused his cause. believing
him the strongest candidate to
overcome the ring.
These clements combined to
make him irresistible. and the
unbrejudiced observer saw sev-
eral weeks ago what the signs
portended.
Arkansas has made no mistake
in nominating Geo. W. Gonaghey
fer Governor.
He wears the collar of no man
or clique Of men, and having
demonstrated that hecan conduct
his own affairs most successfully,
may be trusted to serve the
State with equal loyalty and
faithfulness. - Ark. Dem

That element which voted for
Hinemon were conscientious and
voted from principal and there
were many thousand of them,

Donaghey who preferred Hine-

A LETTER TO THE VOTERS.

vada county:
Since seeing the results of the
primary held on March 25th,
1903 that my friend, Mr.. Hood.
has again received the nominal
ton for Sheriff, making 10 or II
years he has asked the people for
this office and has gotten it and
still not satisfied, and knowing
that it is undemocratic to ask or
run for the same office more than
two terms, consequently | have
at the solicitation of a good many
friends decided to announce my
self as a strictly independent can
didate for Sheriff of Nevada
county, subject to the vote and
support of the people.
| have been a citizen and tax
payer of this county for more
than 80 years and have never be-
fore asked the citizens for an of
flee of any kind, though | have
served the county and town when
protection was needed.
| helped to break up the horse
stealing gang that was raging 50
! through this country from 1878
/ to 1882; was also appointed mar
shall of Prescott by my old friend
Uncle Dave Arnold and served
/ through some of the tough times
that always go with the growth
of a new town. | resigned my
/ position as marshal on account
of it interfering with my hunt
ing, for in those days with me
/ the hunting had to go on If the
mill stopped.
Now, my friends and fellow
citizens while Mr.. Hood probably
] has made you a good officer, |
/ think through courtesy to his fell
! bowman, saying nothing about it
being undemocratic, should have
thanked the people and retired
and not asked them for life
time position as Sheriff of this
county. As there are plenty of
good men just as well qualified
to fill the office as he is. and |
will say here, while | need the
benefits of the office and believe
deserve it as much as any citizen
in the county and will appreciate
your support and vote, if Mr..
Haltom or Mr.. Warren had Sc
cured the nomination and as they
have never held an office of the
people, | would not have come
out but would have supported
them in the election. But under
the present circumstances | think
one taxpayer, good and compe-
tent citizen is just as much en-
titled to some of the benefits de-
rived from county offices as an
other, and as | believe every good
citizen is of the same opinion as
it is equity and justice. There
fore | ask you as reasonable and
thinking people for the first time
in life for your support and vote
in the coming election and if |
am your choice | will serve you
faithfully. let it be day or night.
Hoping to see each and every
one of you before the election
and thanking you for your sup
port and vote in advance, | re-
main
Your most obedient servant,
w. B. White.
