THE PEACE MOVEMENT

The cause is surely advancing.
Every gathering like that at Chica-

when the sentiment of civilized
nations will be for peace, and that
will not have crystalized long un-
til it will he followed by demand
which the most stubborn nation
will be forced to heed.
All through the centuries, the
final settlement of difficulties be-
tween nations has been by war,
and often wars of conquest have
been waged, and, strangely, too, a
Thousand wars have been precipi-
tated to spread this or that gospel.
But the evidences accumulate
that the great thinking masses of
mankind are growing weary of
killing each other, piling up the
worlds debt and leaving an awfnl
legacy of widows, orphans, hus-
bandless young women and broken
hearts and hopes. Goodwin

noon at Little Rock, w. Y. Ellis

Rutherford, millionaire lumber
man and prominent Democratic
politician, shot and almost instant
ly killed Nathaniel z, Willis, a
wealthy resident of indianapolis,
Ind, a former husband of Ellis
wife. The killing was the tragic
elimination of a long and bitter
legal warfare which had been
waged between the dead man and
his divorced wife (now Mrs. Ellis

old child.
Fearing mob violence, Deputy
Sheriff Steele and Detective Haw-
kins took Ellis to Newport Tues

KIRBY LIKES DONAGHEY

The report published over the
state that former Attorney Gen
eral w. f. Kirby will oppose Gov.
Donaghey for second term, has
been denied by Mr.. Kirby, and he
announces that he will be a candi-
date for associate justice of the
supreme court, to succeed Judge
Battle, whose term expires next
year.
Mr.. Kirby says that even if he
had no intention of entering the
contest for associate justice, he
certainly would not oppose Gov.
Donaghey for a second term. He
says Donaghey is doing well as
governor, and does not think there
is a man in the state who can de-
feat him for a second term.
Kirby was one of Donaghey's
opponents for the gubernatorial
nomination last year, and this
spring was appointed by Governor
Donaghey as assistant counsel for
the state in the railroad rate cases
at salary of IS, 900 year.

THE OTHER FELLOWS PLACE

When you are criticising men
for making mistakes, do you ever
consider that the men who never
make little errors very seldom
make anything When you are
very liberal with your abuse for
someone who has unconciously
made slight mistake, are you
Just rs liberal with your kind
words for him when be is con-
sclous of the fact that he is doing
a righteous act2 Unjust criticism
is the offspring of egotism, malice
or sel6shness. 1t is disgusting to
the refined, insulting to those with
whom we associate and degrading
to the mind. The most worthless.
ignorant man can draw it to his
bosom and nurture it.
Reason should be our weapon
when we criticise men and their
works. Before you speak evil of
your fellow. man put yourself in
his shoes and consider how you
would feel under SIMILAR circum.
stances.

PEACH CROP SHORT

Batesville, July 2S.-The Ell
berta peach crop in this section is
fast being marketed, two cars
being shipped out Tuesday. The
crop is very short, practically moth
ing compared to other years, and
all the fruit of this class will be
gone at the end of this week.
Some growers sold their crop in
the orchard at 81 per bushel, the
buyers to gather and crate the
same.
One orchard in this county,
which usually YIELDS several car
loads, will not Yield five bushels
this season, and others have SC
few no attempt will be made to

COUNTY IN GOOD SHAPE
Clerks Report Shows S24,oSo. 20
in the County Treasury

The annual report of County
Clerk Sims, published in today's
paper, shows the county to be in
good condition, financially, there
being the sum of $24, $50, 20 in the
treasury over and above all liabil-
tiles.
Few counties in the state are
out Of debt, and few indeed, can
boast of having so neat sum of
actual cash in their treasury.
The report shows some things,
however, that does not speak we'll
for our county. For instance, the
total assessed valuation of property
in the county is not as great as
was shown in the last report.
The report published a year ago
showed the total assessed valuation
of property in the county to be
IS, $50, 204, while this years re-
port shows only 81, 928, 300, de-
cline of over two hundred thou
sand dollars. The real estate and
railroads shows loss of $102, $40,
and the personal property a loss
of S122,058.
Evidently somebody has been
renigging on the assessor. Of
course it is possible that the per-
sonal property valuations could
show an honest decline, but we all
know there is as much land and
railroad property in the county as
there ever was, and this property
could not have been honestly valued
at any less when the last assess
ment was made than at the preced-
ing one.
But while this has lessened the
county's revenue, the conuty's ex-
penses have also been reduced,
which speaks we'll for our efficient
corps of county officers.
The report shows the county's
expenses were less for the year
ending July 1, 1909, than for the
preceding year, the total warrants
issued and outstanding on July /.
1908, being $54, 041 SAL while the
report for this year shows the to-
tai warrants issued and outstanding
July 1, 1909, as $4S, 500. 80.
The total receipts for the year
ending July 1, 1909, shows de-
crease of "a, 565. 25 over the preced-
ing year.
