HON J. w. ADAMS.

The death of Hon. J. w. Adams, an
 nounced In today's dispatches from
 Pine Bluff. Is q distinct loss to Ar
 kansas and to journalism. There are
 few men who have labored harder and
 more consistently for the good of the
 state and the purification of politics edly due his untmely death. In the early days of his newspaper career l corruption was rampant in Jefferson county politics and he set about working change. His efforts were successful, but the price of success. though payment was deferred for years cut of a beautiful life in it's prime and left a family bowed down with sorrow.
 J. w. Adams was, in many respects, a self-made man, and his opinions on all questions were based upon obser- vations made at close quarters. They were necessarily forceful and usually correct. This made opposition inevit- able, and the battles which sometimes ensued were long and severe. result ing finally in complete physical break down. Realizing the weakness of his body, MT. Adams relinquished the management of his paper. the Ora. phic, and dropped the mantle of au- thority upon younger brother. Seeking to get back the health which had deserted him. he went to New Mexico and later to El Paso. Texas. After the lapse of seven years, which were spent in constant quest of health. he returned to Pine Bluff, frail of body but still strong of intel lect. and resumed. in so far as his physical condition would permit, ac- tive management of the Graphic.
 J. w. Adams was of the truest type of American manhood and there was nothing in his short life to cause ev. en fleeting regret in his last hours. He has left a priceless heritage to his children and however much they may miss his companionship and fath. erly care. there is still the great sat- isfaction of revering a life that was above reproach and forever beyond the possibility of criticism.
 He fought the good fight and paid the penalty with his life. No man can do moro. and the writer of these

ADMIRED BY ALL.

News reached this city today an
 nouncing the death early this morn
 ing of Hon. James w. Adams, of the Pine Bluff Daily Graphic, at his home in that city. The editor of the News
 who knew him well for many years, Is grfeved at his untimely death Until stricken some years ago by that dread destroyer, consumption. MT. Adams was one of the most progressive newspaper men of the state and Q politician of rare ability and prom ise. He spent several years in El Paso and Phoenix. rig. in the hope of recovering his health, but returned two years ago to await the inevitable end at home and among friends.
 He was but 43 years of age at death and came to Arkansas in 1886. engaging in newspaper work at Clarksville. Later he bought the Pine Bluff Weekly Graphic. converting It into daily, which paper he and his brother. George H. Adams, owned at the time of his death. In early life James w. Adams gave promise of . brilliant public career. He was a man of fine ability and a forcible and eloquent speaker. He served two terms In the State senate, where he became leader. The people of Gar. land county will remember the brill. liant canvass he made as a beardless boy of this county in the interest of Clifton R. Breackinridge in the last race he made for congress. He was unable to meet his opponent, Hon. "Bass' Little. and young Adams vol unteered to represent him. Tho abili- ty with which he sustained himself on the stump against John 8. Little. the experienced statesman, won the ad. miration of our people.-J. L. Whdley in the Hot Springs News.
