FROM "Ex-PALESTlNE"
Former Times Correspondent Writes Eutertainingly of Base Bali and
 other Topics Of Interest.

Memphis, April k, 190a. Editor Times:
 Arkansas has covered herself with glory in the first series of games be- tween Memphis and Little Rock, and "Our Pat did his share toward se- curing the three games out of four to the Travellers. know my friend. Oscie Walker, is both jubiant and happy and can almost see the 1909 pennant waving in the Little Rock ball park. But, say, those Travellers play ball and that's mo pipe dream either. Five thousand Memphis fans who witnessed the game Sunday afternoon can testify To this state ment.
 But, Mr. Editor, I am writing to stir you up on that wheat proposition and not to talk base ball We hear enough of that on the streets, in the offices, etc. In fact, it seems as if the whole of creation has become base ball mad. From the old grayheaded grandfathers down to the kid with his first pair of pants, it is base ball, and ditto with the other sex. If you could succeed in installing a little en- thusiasm of the base ball kind into the business men of St. Francis county on this wheat proposition, next fall would witness the planting of thOus- ands of acres of wheat in that county. With mill in Forrest City fully three-fourths of the farmers of the county would plant few acres, and that great importation of flour would stop and the cotton money would stay at home and be kept in circula- tion. Perhaps the recent occurrences m the wheat market in Chicago will help you in your argument. If every one raised his wheat St. Francis county farmers could stand pat and eat biscuits three times days even if wheat went to & q bushe.
 Since my last letter l have received q very pleasant call from Mayor Fer fell, of Palestine, and incidentally heard that Col |. II. Stevens was a visitor to Memphis between trains.
 With kindest regards 10 The Times and St. Francis county friends.
 EXHAUSTIVE.

 am q negro teacher of ten year $ standing in the state. I have taken advantage Of every means presented to me which would fit and prepare me 10 do enectiye work in the school room. Because of my interest in the race of which am member I appeal to the legislature now in session and peg them, If it is possible, to enact law or laws prohibiting negro direc- tors ln the state. In nearly every district in which they constitute the majority on the school board it is im- possible to get school unless you are willing to allow the negro directors | part of the already small salary. The negro children are suffering as q re- suit, for the men and women who have earnestly toiled and made great sacrifices to qualify themselves do not feel that they can afford to give unde- serving, dishonest directors part of their hardearned salary: thence the weak, careless, unprepared teacher. Tor whom any salary However smalD would be too great pay, usually gets schools and our children are suffering the harmful, damning consequences. Any one doabting these statements has nothing to do but get out into 1 those districts So conducted and he Will see that all l say is true. and more too. l have tried to get work in Jefferson, Saline, Pulaski, Lonoke and Monroe counties, and have taught in each county named, but have not been able to secure work in either of them where two colored men were on the board, because l would not agree to pay them. l think this practice should be put to an end. Scores of teachers can testify to this same truth, if they would. In the name of an ignorant, helpless, dependent peo. pie, give all the people white direc. tors.

MOON LAKE TIMES

We'll. this is beautiful weather and everybody is very busy trying 10 get crops planted. They are trying to nlant that six cent and seven cent cotton. but | think they ought to think be efore they start, and plant five rows of corn and two rows of rofton and see if they couldn't have their corn cribs full in the fall. and think about their smokehouses and potato patches and turnip patches, and I think they will see that they can live better than they do the way they are living They go and get that fifteen cent meat and three pounds of coffee for dollar, and seven pounds of sugar for d dollar. pay eight dollars a barrel for -four, besides what they have to pay for the rest of the things they have to get; but there are some who think they have to plant just five acres of corn and twelve acres of cotton or the merchant won't let them have S25 worth of meat and bread to raise that twelve acres of cotton on, but l tell you it is the farmers fault. If they would just make up their mind, and stick to it, they could have things going their way, and tilihN 1t is time for them to open their eyes and just say, and stick to it, 1 will not mortgage my stock and crop and nearly every thing that l have for just such stuff as the merchant wants to let me have and then pay double price for it besides.
 Now farmers, let Us all do this. and see if we cant bring the prices our way. If we will raise our meat and bread, and milk and butter and chick ems at home. then when we carry our bale or two of cotton to sell they will he glad 10 get it for 12 CT n cents anyway. What do you all think about it?
 would like to hear what some of you farmers wives have to say about planting so much cotton suppose that you all can talk as well as I can. l am q farmers wife, and if i've all live my husband shall not mortgage next year. We had just as well live hard one year and have what we make as for him 10 work hard all the time. and then in the fall give everything 10 the merchant Now, women. it is partly our fault, for our men working so hard. l know some of you could do better than you do if yog would. l know that some don't care how hard their husbands work and think that they are made out of iron. Now, if you all will try helping your man you will see that things will 20 better.
 We'll. ] hope l will see an answer 10 this by some one man or woman so l will close as il is my first.

A STARTLING STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities Claim
 Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.

The post mortem statistics of the big New York hospitals show that some cases Of consumption are due tC unchecked dyspepsia, especially when then the victim was predisposed to tuberculosis
 Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain, the weakened, irritable stom. acl is unable to digest food, the body does not receive the required nOurish- ment, constipation ensues, the victim becomes thin, weak and haggard As result the body becomes fertile field for the germs of disease to lodge and flourish
 Therefore, the person who permits dyspepsia to progress unhindered, Is guilty of contributing toward the de velopment of one of the most insid- ious diseases known to mankind.
 Dyspepsia is curable if properly treated The Enterprise Drug Store sells remedy which they positively guarantee will cure indigestion or dyspepsia or they will pay for all the medicine used during the trial This remedy is an absolutely new medical discovery and has been named Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer could be more fair, and the offer of the Enterprise Drug Store is proof posi- tive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are dependable and infallible remedy. lnasmuch as the medicine will cost you nothing if it does not benefit you we urge you who are suffering with in digestion or dyspepsia to try this remedy. A twenty-five cent box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets contains enough medicine for fifteen days treatment. Remember Rexall Dys- pepsia Tablets are only sold in For rest City by the Enterprise Drug Store, North Front Street. Forrest City, Arkansas.

Mad Dog Bit Three Citizens and All

special dispatch from Marianna 10 the Memphis Commercial Appeal un- der date of the Eth, says "The whole city las been in state of high excitement for two days over the ap- pearanee of dog suffering from rabies Thursday night on the streets. Ar ter biting three prominent citizens, F. W. Snetser, editor of the Index: John (. Wells. transfer man: and Ed Smith,of the Miller Lumber Company. the dog ran over the city, biting every dog he met and was killed at late hour yesterday morning. The head was severed from the body of the dog and shipped to Dr. Leroy, of Memphis. He pronounced the malady genuine llydroph0bia in most malignant form. Messrs. Snetser. Wells and Smith left this morning for New Or. leans to receive the pasteur treat ment.
 "Citizens now arm themselves with guns and clubs when business calls them on the streets. All dogs have been ordered confined or muzzled, and all stray dogs shot.
 on Monday morning MT. Jack Til son, who resides in Marianna, passed through Forrest City with the sever- ed head of dog which had bitten two of his children late Saturday after noon. He was on his way to Mem phis To have the head examined, and if it should transpire that this animal was afflicted with hydrophobia his children will be sent 10 New Orleans for Pasteur treatment. We sincerely hope his fears are groundless, and that the little ones will suffer no harm.
