GET INSIDE
Your Friends and Neighbors in Forrest
 City Win show You How.

Rubbing the back won't cure back ache.
 A liniment may relieve, but can't cure.
 Baekache comes from the inside from the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills get inside
 They cure sick kidneys.
 Here is Forrest City proof that this is so:
 Mrs. Jennie Smith. living on Jack son street, Forrest City, Ark. says: "ln return for the benefit 1 received from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, l am pleased to testify 10 their effi- ciency. Prior to taking this remedy suffered from continual pain through the small of my back and at times black spots before my eyes. The se- cretions were also unnatural in ap- pearance, and showed that my kid neys needed prompt attention. Doan's Kidney Pills procured at the City Drug Store soon changed this state of affairs and finally cured me entirely of the trouble"

WHAT ARKANSAS NEEDS.

Arkansas needs fuller investment of capital within her broad domain. She has made great development in the past. but perhaps not as great as she ought to have made. She is now out her arms not only to desirable immigration from other countries and from other states Of our own country. but to capital free for investment. She points with pride 10 her broad and fertile fields. to her or chards shining in the crimson and gold Of her apple trees. To her great business interests that have sprung up around and about her great cities, to her salubTious climate which knows nothing of the terrible severity of the Northwest, but where the sun shines from blue skies. How shall this invi- tation and these allurements of soil and industry and climate be answer ed: Capital does not come into a state which greets it with a sword and
 bludgeon and immigration is most likely to follow capital Men do not
 want 10 invest their money in a state
 where the legislation is all directed against capital as an enemy and not reasonably in it's favor as friend. There has been too much public an- tagonism to capital, the railroads. etc. There have been too many laws passed whose motive and tendency were de- struction, to give promise. unless there be a change, of very rapid ad- vance in our prosperity. He who loves Arkansas desires her development. Anything is dear to him which adds to her greatness and glory. We must put our feet upon the smallness of po- litical intrigue and ambition and de- mand legislation which will give to Arkansas that development which she has right to expect, and so richly des eryes.

WE GRIEyE FOR OUR SISTER CITY

Our hearts bleed for Brinkley, our
 once beautiful sister city. Words cannot convey an ad quate idea of the terrible devastation and havoc of the fearful wind that uprooted man. moth oaks and completely demolished everything that came in its path. Where on Monday evening stood proud. prosperous, enterprisIng. noble and beautiful city there now remains only a mass of brick and mortar. tangled wires. kindling wood and ashes. and a heart-br0ken but brave citizenry. Hundreds. perhaps. have lost everything. The home and its comforts that have been made and saved from a life time Of toil is swept away in a moment. and old men and old women and young children have not where to lay their heads. For two days. and some even now. this stricken people were daZed. dumb founded. aimless in their great undo ing, and knew not where or how or when to make beginning to restore themselves to some kind of order. or bring some sort of system out of the fearful chaos in which they found then mselyes when the storm had done it's awful work. Forrest City was first on the ground to offer succor and sympathy and practical help. Forrest City not only contributed it's money freely, but strong men, the fire lad dies, and other help was there on the first train. Our homes were thrown open to the homeless and our physi- clans ministered to their maimed and dying. But Brinkley will rise again, bigger, and better, and grander than before, and her big hearted, :noble, enterprising citizenry will laugh at their misfortune and go on and on, leaving trouble behind and climbing slowly but surely the ladder of sue

The Times believes in treating cor porations the same as individuals. We believe in giving capital and labor an equal chance. Much of the talk and newspaper comment you hear and read abont trusts, railroads, etc, is pure rot, and amounts to nothing Capital needs labor, labor needs capi- tai. We need both.

County Must Build Jail Workshop

The county of Oxford must build forty
feet on the end of its Jail to make con-
waterproof workshop. At least, that's
what the prison inspectors of Maine say,
aud under the present law there's no
lodging the fact that what they say
goes.
A law passed by the legislature last
winter largely expands the powers of the
prison inspectors. Under this law they
may make recommendations to the
commissioners of any county. or to the
taller, regarding almost any matter OF
detail of the construction and manage
ment of the Jail, and their recommends
ton has virtually the effect of an order.
If the recommendation is not immediate
" carried into effect, the inspectors
may put the matter up to the governor
and council, and If they approve the
recommendation, the inspectors may go
ahead and carry out the recommendation
themselves, and the state will pay the
expense and then proceed to collect 1t OF
the county.
Acting under this law, the prison in
spectors notified the county commission
ers of Oxford that they desired to have
conferences With lOciu, duu dCCpEuiuS ~
on last Tuesday, the date arranged, two
of the inspectors, E. P. Mayo of Water
Vile and Frank II. Hargraves of Buxton,
met the board of county commissioners
at the court house at South Paris and
made the recommendation of an addi-
ton to the Jail as above stated. 10
three other counties of the state jail
workshops are now being erected on the
Recommendation" of the inspectors
and according to plans and specifications
prepared by them.
notwithstanding the lat eness of the
season, they desired to have the work
done this fall, and to the objection
brought up by the county commissioners
that the county was already building a
| necessary and costly addition to the
court house, they replied that while the
county was building was just the time te
make a workshop.
After further conference the matter
was left without definite instructions fol-
the present, but the inspectors arranged
to have another conference with the
commissioners in November, when th'
matter is likely to take some definite
form.
1t is the purpose Of the commissioner
to establish a workshop at every jail II
the state, and backed by the act of 100
they will evidently succeed in carryin.
