found RI he Sd. ; 0 and of the Catholic
church $4,000. These findings OF 'ne
court carry with them a Recommending
ton to Congress for the payment OF
the several amounts Allowed.
These three claims are interesting
not only on account of the
benefit to the churches involved, but
aslo by reason of the facts upon when
the claims were based. The buildings
Of these churches were burned by the
military forces OF the United states
on or about the 3oth of April, 1864,
at the time the Union forces eVacuat-
ed the said town. The town had been
occupied by the Federal forces for
about two years prior to this time,
and they had been treated courteous
" by the citizens of Washington. The
court finds as a fact that no Conted-
crate troops were in the town AT the
time, nor in it's vicinity.
The following quotation from the
opinion Of the court will prove inter
esting: ION the morning of the eNacu-
alton gangs of men patroiled the
towns Of Washington, n. c., breaking
into houses and wantonly destroying
such goods as they could not carry
away, and the and owners
Of the houses were insulted and defied
in their feeble endeavors to protect
their property. The town was sacked,
and its pillage ceased only with the
final abandonment of the place. Peo-
pie from the gunboat, including sailors
and laborers, joined in the work Of
plumber and devastation. In the morn
ing of said day fires broke out at va
rious places in the town, and bombs
were exploded from these fires in the
midst of the conflagration. Some Of
the troops belonging to Col. McChes-
ney's command in the town at that
time caused the conflagration, which
extended to the adjacent buildings.
The military forces then in possession
Of the town made no efforts to extin-
guish any of these fires
The court then found that during
the conflagration these three churches
were destroyed. The favorable finding
is based upon the proposition that
these churches were not burned as
the result of the casualties of war,
but was a Wanton and deliberate act
of s~poilation. Many OF the older citi-
zens will doubtless remember the
facts connected with this interesting
period in the history Of Washington.
Representative Small introduced the
bills for these claims several years ago
and has been insistent in pressing
them for consideration. 1t was through
his efforts that they were referred to
the Court of Claims. Mr.. CT. w. Il.
Black, of this city, a prominent attor-
ney, who practices in the Court of
Claims, represented the claimants. It
is now up to Congress to make an APP
preparation for their payment. It is
possible. but not probable. that these
appropriations can be obtained at this
session. The best that can be said is
that they will ultimately be paid.

4 Disturbing ELEMENT

Drunkenness and Riotinu
The Licensing of These Places by City

All this is very unfair to the ex-
pressed will of the people of orr
state with regard to prohibition and
IS very hurtful generally. When we
voted Tor prohibition there was no

our state, nor was there any ugges

near-beer. therefore, is contrary to tho

Inc sale OF near-beer is permitted

FAULKNER C0UNTYS
SENATORIAL NOMINEE

of that cast in the primary of 1908.
2. His nomination was not by the
votes of the Democrats of Faulkner
county, but at the hands of "cor-
rupt political ring at Conway"
3. Mr.. Martin could not legally
vote in the primary election for the
reason that he has not lived long
enough in the county.
4. Mr.. Martin is opposed to prohi-
bition.
5. His nomination came about as a
result of confusion between his name
and that of Capt. w. W. Martin, the
successful candidate for representa-
tive.
6. The primary election was held
ahead of time and this is the first
early primary election Faulkner coun-
ty has had in many years, if ever.
7. Martin was sent over to Faulk-
ner county by the liquor forces for
the sole purpose of securing the nom
ination by any means, fair or foul" !"
8. The article concludes with a
threat that White county will not sub
NIT to the nomination of Mr.. Martin.
Now, the Log Cabin Democrat is
not going to "roast" White county,
because it does not believe the Searcy
papers attack on the regular nomi-
nee of the senatorial district repre-
sents either the sentiment or the be-
lief of even one per cent of the Demo-
Gratis of White county. We shall SIM
ply show that each one of these eight
propositions is either published from
an inexcusable ignorance of the facts
or is deliberate and wilful falsehood
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1908-current, 1910-01-21

Ever since the Democrats of Faux
rer county selected their party nom
inees in a primary election held on
January a certain clique of politi-
clans around Searcy using a newspa-
per of that city by the name of the
News and Union Educator as mouth
piece have been raising howl against
this county's nominee for state senator
II e Twenty-seventf district which
includes the counties of White and
Faulkner That these politicians de-
sire to break the solemn compact en-
tered into 36 years ago, whereby the
Democratic party in each county was
to nominate in turn d candidate from
it's own borders without interference
from the other county, is evident from
their efforts to create dissatisfaction
against Mr.. Martin.
The Log Cabin Democrat expected
to pay no attention to these attacks,
believing that no good Democrat of
either White or Faulkner county would
be influenced by them, but the current
issue of the News and Union Educat-
or contains double-column editorial
so filled with Misrepresentation and
absolute untruths that we cannot per-
nit them to go unchallenged. The
statements of the Searcy paper may
be summarized as follows:
1. Mr.. Martin polled only 1,044
votes in the Faulkner county primary,
whereas there are 6,100 Democratic
voters in the Senatorial district, and
it is therefore undemocratic to pro-
claim him the nominee. The vote in
Faulkner county was only two-thirds
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1908-current, 1910-01-21
vote for his opponent.

But, we repeat, what business of
the Searcy paper is it that Faulkner
,ounty nominated Mr.. Martin for
senator-or any one else, so far as
that is concerned? Mr.. Martin recelv-
ed more votes in Faulkner county
when he was nominated than did Sen
ator c. E. Bush receive in White
county when he was nominated. Did
Faulkner challenge Senator Bush S
nomination? The organized Democr-
cy of Faulkner county has the right
to nominate the senator from the
Twenty y-seventh district this year; it
has made the nomination, and the
uncalled for howls from the Searcy

a matter of fact that Capt w. w.
Martin-one of the staunchest anti
liquor men in the state-was one
among the first to solicit A. G.. Martin
to become a candidate for senator, and
supported him to such an extent as
was possible without interfering with
his own candidacy.
6. This has already been answered
under No. /.
7. This is bald assertion which
! the Searcy paper cannot prove and
which nobody would believe without
proof.
| s. AS to the matter of White coun-
ty breaking its compact with Faux
ner and refusing to ratify this coun-
! tvs nomination, we of course cannot
say what will happen. We sincerely
believe, however, that the true Demo
Gratis of White county will never be
guilty of such perfldy.
The News and Union Educator
wants to know WHY Faulkner coun-
ty nominated Mr.. Martin. Inc best
answer to this question is that it is
none of the business of the News and
Union Educator why Faulkner county
nominated Mr. Martin. The next best
answer is that majority of the Dem
ocrats said by their votes that they
wanted him nominated. But, as there
is no reason for concealing any of the
, facts in the case, we do not deem it
improper to analyze few of the rea
sons why we believe Mr.. Martin was
nominated
In the first place, his record in the
lower house as representative of Yell
county for two terms attracted the
people to him. At the beginning of
his second term he was one of the lead
ng candidates for speaker of the house
and lacked only nine votes of being
accorded this honor. He was at all
times a leader on the floor ,and was
able to accomplish as much good legis-
lation as any member in the house. He
led the fight to annul the notorious
Dickinson convict contract, and in con-
structive legislation he stood in the
front ranks. A man of intelligence, a
| tireless worker, a fearless debater, he
was generally regarded as one of the
most able members of the general as
sembly of 1909.
In the second place "a local graft
tude to him probably won for him
many votes. He stood squarely by the
governor, whom Faulkner county fur
inshed to the state, and ably assisted
him in his long and arduous fight to
free the state from the grating and
dishonest state capitol contractors,
Caldwell & Drake. Again, toward the
last of the session, the bill upon which
depended the life of the State Nor
NAL school, to which Faulkner county
had donated over $60,000 seemed to
be doomed to defeat Mr.. Martin
saw the danger which confronted this
great institution, and by vigorously
rallying his friends and the friends
of education together, he succeeded in
saving the school.
A third reason which probably in
fluenced some Democratic voters was
the fact that Mr.. Martins opponent
was formerly a member of another
political party. Mr.. j. R. Donnell is
as true and honorable a gentleman
as ever made the race for an office,
but the fact that he four years held
office in Faulkner county, elected on
the Populst ticket, undoubtedly caus-
ed some Democrats of the county to
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1908-current, 1910-01-21
Taking them up seriatim:


l. This proposition is too absurd
for serious consideration. The pri-
mary election was regularly called by
the organized Democracy, at meeting
at which every township was repre-
sented. The early primary separate
from the state primary is a principle
which Faulkner county has followed
ever since primary elections became
the custom. The Democrats of this
county proceed on the theory that bet
ter men can be nominated when coun
ty issues are alone before the voters
than when they are distracted by state
issues. Considering that freezing
rain fell throughout the day, the fact
that over 1000 votes were cast, or on
ly 800 less than in the state primary
of March, 1908, shows that the poll
was representative one, and voiced
the sentiments of the Democrats as
t. dly as would be possible in any
election. Mr.. Martin received a ma
jority of 155 of these votes, and his
opponent, Mr.. ]. R. Donnell, in man.
ly statement issued Immediately after
the primary, acknowledged that Mr..
Martin had defeated him and stated
that he was now for Mr.. Martin.
2. This charge is an insult not to
Mr.. Martin but to the Democracy of
Faulkner county. The primary cleo
ton of January is conceded by every
one to be the fairest and most hon
estlv conducted of any ever held in
this county. Rigid precautions were
taken to have every ballot counted as
it was cast and the returns promptly
announced, and the result in evA"y
race was known by midnight after the
election. Not one word of complaint
has emanated from any one in Faux
ner county and no citizen has charged
that any nomination was at the "hands
of a corrupt political ring in Conway"
for every one with any degree of in
telligerce knows there IS no political
ring lcc.
3. This is simply an untruth. Mr.
Martin moved from ne;ghbor county
n which he was bocl and raised, and
which he had twice represented in the
lower house, to Faulkner county, on
June |, 1909. In order to qualify as
an elector six months residence in the
county is required. Mr.. Martin had
made his home here seven months be-
fore the primary election and will
have lived here nearly a year and a
half before the general election.
4. Upon what the Searcy paper
bases this charge we do not know Mr..
Martin openly favored and urged in
the legislature the submission of the
prohibition question to vote of the
people, as provided for in the Demo-
cratic platform and as favored by
the leading temperance forces of the
state. He voted against the Gam bill
with the courage to lift his voice
against this iniquitous measure, which
would have destroyed our local option
laws and opened up the unlicensed sale
of liquor by drug stores in every nook
and hamlet of Arkansas. This propos-
ed law afterwards condemned as Sc
verely by the prohibition people as it
was by Mr.. Martin. He is now
under pledge to support law submit
ting the question of statewide prohibit
tion to vote of the people and there
is absolutely no reason to believe that
he will be recreant to this trust.
5. There was no confusion between
the names of the candidates for repre-
