STATE TEACHERS MEETING
Great Educational Gathering at
Hot Springs Dec. 18th to 3Oth

The complete program for the
Arkansas State Teachers Associa-
ton, forty-second annual meeting,
at Hot Springs, December %, 20
and 80, is being circulated, and in
addition to the features already
announced, the program includes
the name of Mrs. General Pickett.
Mrs. Pickett is the widow of
the famous Confederate general,
and her address on the great bat
tie of Gettysburg, in which her
husband took such a prominent
part, is one of the thrilling mas
terpieces of American literature.
A railroad rate of one fare for
the round trip has been granted,
and reduced rates have been offer
ed the teachers by the hotels and
boarding houses of Hot Springs.
A registered attendance of 1900
is expected. 1t will doubtless be
the best meeting in the history of
the association, and every person
who is actively engaged in teach
ing should attend. The Journal
hopes the Independence county
teachers will break all former rec
ords for attendance.

Neighbors Across the White

Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Cook spent

of our farmers took advantage of
it and butchered some fine porkers.
Squire j. w. Scott attended a
lawsuit at Hutchinson Saturday,
where some parties had been en-
gagged in assault and battery.

FROM WESTERN TEXAS
Former Newark Citizen Tells of
Conditions Out West"

Mr.. Editor:-If you will pardon
my spelling and grammar, | will
try to tell your readers something
about my part of the country, as
our friends from California and
Oklahoma recently did, and which
| think all should do. thus giving
US news from all parts OF the coun-
try.
But what | shall have to say is
not very encouraging, on account
of the fearful drouth of the past
summer. Old settlers say it was
the longest and worst drouth since
1879. This (Burnett) county made
almost nothing this year. No
corn, wheat nor oats were made,
at all, not even for feed, and dur
ing the last sixty days twenty or
thirty thousand bushels of corn
have been shipped into our town.
Cotton made an average of about
a bale to every ten or fifteen acres.
Fruit was total failure, and this
is where | lost out, as | am in the
fruit business. | have l, 700 four
year-old peach and plum trees.
But the night is never so dark
but what daylight will come again.
On the 10Th of November we
had fine rain, and on the 5th Of
December another fine one, so the
prospects are bright for good
crop next year. We had our first
frost of the season last night, but
there was very little vegetation to
be killed by it.
| think that after about one
more year like this, the writer
will be called to preach.
But it seems now that the peo-
pie have put on new life. The
farmers have nearly all their land
prepared for another crop.
Our little town has just COM
pleted a $4,000 brick school
building, and many dwellings are
going up, which shows that the
people of Texas still have money.
As before stated, | am now in
the fruit and berry business,
straight, but contemplate putting
in a large canning plant and grow
ing tomatoes, also.
Land is still advancing in price,
and the man who fails to secure a
home in Texas will soon be left.
This county is noted for its good
health. We have no chiIls, no
malaria and no pneumonia. We
have high altitude and and nice,
gentle breeze blows nearly all the
time. We have no sandstorms
nor cyclones.
For fear of worrying you, | will

NO FLIGHT OF ROYALTY.
Queen and Children Still at San
Sebastian.

San Sebastian (via Hendaye), July S0-The
members of the royal family are still at Miramar
Palace The report that Queen Victoria the
Queen Mother Maria Christina and the royal
children had crossed the frontier and gone to
Bayonne until the crisis over is untrue, and
probably originated in the arrival Of the royal
automobile at Biarrltz with member of the
court bearing dispatches to the Spanish .Ambas-
sador to France.
1t is understood that both the Queen and the
Queen Mother were anxious to follow King Al
fonso to Madrid but the King considered it a
better and safer that they should remain
at San Sebastian until the interior crisis was
ended. The young Queen, it is said, is greatly
worried. but has absolute faith in the loyalty OF
the people to the King. His majesty keeps IN

Grave Fear That the Powers May Have to

there is not word OF truth in either the rumor
that KING Edward is asking France and Germany
to intervene in Spain, or that 1t has been sug-
gested that "A mixed force of French. British and
German troops should be sent to cooperate with
the Spaniards IN Morocco
THE Daily Teegraph's' Madrid CORES pondert, IN
an interesting review "f tie situation, sees the
greatest danger not IN the spirit of the army,
which remains perfectly disciplined and obedient,
but in the temper of the people, who are hostile To

'it Is possible" says the correspondent that the
danger may not be for to-day, but it Will certainly
be for tomorrow, for the seed has been well sown
among the people and will remain"
1T must be remembered that the Spanish people
are capable Of suffering In silence for long years
all kinds of governmental oppression but they can
revolt in a moment and in a terrible fashion, over
things really of secondary import They can re-
member the colonial and American wars, and as
they believe that these campaigns we're brought

ton bu Don Jaime Feared.

Madrid July 30-The governments reports
from Catalonia indicate that the situation con-
tinues to improve. Both King Alfonso and Pre-
rnier Naura seem satisfied that the worst is
over that the rebellion in Barcelona has been
quelled and that order soon will be restored In
the remainder OF the province. Nevertheless,
to be on the safe side. large bodies of troops OF
all arms continue to be hurried to the scene
No figures not even estimates of the loss of
property and life in Catalonia given out by
the authorities but private dispatches leaking
out through the frontier indicate that there has
been great slaughter at Barcelona.
II is understood that the King greatly regret
ted the necessity Of using artillery. but yielded
to the arguments of his Cabinet ministers that
half way measures or temporization might prove
fatal. Reports continue to filter in of the wild

fury of the mob centred.

There is some apprehension also that the fol-
lowers of Don jaime the pretender, may at

leaders. who maintain a military and political
organization in Northern Spain, are being close
ly watched.
The Captain General of Barcelona has tele-
