applies, and there is no excuse for
telling joke unless it does apply.
As an illustration the governor relat-
e5 the following incident:
"When l was making tour of the
state after my election, the gentleman
who introduced me at Cedsrtown said ::
Ladies and gentlemen: This is
ugly, little old Joe Brown
''ln my reply l said:
" Ladies and gentlemen: What l
shall say now applies solely to the men
" 1 have never taken exception to the
use of that term ugly" because l
have mirror at home that is fearfully
and wonderfully frank. But while may
not be able to say 'McGreagor's on his
native heath, yet, when [ look about
me, feel that | can safely say, "Mc-
Greagor's clans around him 80"
The governor frankly confessed that
he is not good looking and he frequent
ly makes it the point of a joke.
In one Of his after-elecuon speeches
he said:
II had grave doubts Of my election
until | was told one day that everybody
was unanimous in the opinion that l
was the uglest man Georgia ever saw.
/ From that time forward l was conf
dent. The biggest party in this state
is the homely party and | knew it
would rot desert it's acknowledged
leader"
In one Of his speeches the governor
replied to the charge that he was not
the author of numerous cards which he
published during the gubernatoriaI
campaign.
If DIDN'T write them, " said he, IL
think ! at least deserve some credit
for selecting a man who could get the
results | wanted"
/ During his campaign Governor Brown
was approached by one of lis constitu.
ents who declared that the guberna
torial candidate should carry Il rabbit,
foot in his pocket
"Why rabbits foot!" queried the
governor
To bring you good luck in the cleo
ton" was the response
mo use" he replied cit common

A Batch of Jokes
BY Governor Brown.

Samuel q. Blythe, who writes "Who's
Who, and Why" in the Saturday Even
ing Post, publishes sketch of Gov
ernor Brown in the course of which he
says:
"He is intensely serious, rarely laughs
and never jokes"
The Atlanta Constitution says:
GOVERNOR LAUGHS FREQUENTLY.
Now, Governor Brown frankly and
fearlessly admits the Indictment that
he is serious; one may say he admits
that at times he is intensely serious
But to charge that he rarely laughs
and never Jokes" the governor demurs
and files a cross-bin.

CAN'T BE SEPARATED.
Some Pine Bluff People Have Learn
 ed How to Get Rid of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin brothers.
 You cant separate them.
 And You can't get rid of the back ache until you cure the kidney ache.
 If the kidneys are we'll and strong, the rest of the system, Is pretty sure to be in vigorous health.
 Doan's Kidney Pills make strong, healthy kidneys.
 Claud Clegg, 116 w. 15th, street, Pine Bluff, Ark, say: For about a month I was annoyed by lame- ness across my kidneys and upon attempting to straighten from a stopped position, sharp pains darted through my body like the thrust of knife. Having heard so much in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills from people who had used them, I decided to try them and procured box from the Mann Tankersley Drug Go. I had taken about one-half the contents when the lameness in my back disap peared. There has been no recur- renee of my trouble and I have taken pleasure on several occasions in re- commenting Doan's Kidney Pills to my acquaintances."

NISCALLED "HAIR TONICS
Most Hair Preparations Are MereIy Scalp Irritants, of No
 Value.

Most hair preparations are merely scalp irritants, miscalled hair tonics. when hair is brittle, lusterless and begins to fall out, the dandruff germ is getting in it's deadly work at the root, sapping the vitality. Since science discovered that dandruff is a germ disease there has been only one preparation put on the market that will actually destroy the dan druff germ, and that is Newbro,s Herpicide. It quickly reduces scalp fever, destroys the germ; and the falling hair stops, and hair grows luxuriantly. Ask your druggists for Herpicide. It allays itching instant 1y, and permits the hair to grow. Sold by leading druggists. Send 10c in stamps for sample to The Herpi- eide Co.,, Detroit, Mich. One dollar bottles guaranteed.

ELECTION DAY
 OVER THE STATE
Local Fights Attracted Much Atten- tiOn-Whole Fight Centered On
 Amendment Ten.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 12.-The State House was about the only pub lie place in Little Rock which did not have holiday appearance today, it being election day. The proclama- tion of Gov. Donaghey calling for a public holiday in the afternoon closed the factories and big institu- tions and the voting has been heavy all day. The county fights in many sections. the district fights and the amendment fight will bring out a larger vote than ever cast in Arkan- sas before.
 The Little Rock correspondent of the Graphic has within the past two months made two trips over Arkan- sas. stopping in the principal towns in every section and in this name. was enabled to keep tab on the situ- ation in all localities. There is a court house removal fight in Hemp stead county, one faction wanting the court house left at Washington and the other wanting it moved to Hope. This will force every man to the polls there. In northwest Ar kansas there is almost an even split in the people. the odds favoring the Democrats slightly. and enery county and district candidate has Repub-

 The amendments will bring out the vote in the other sections, as the in- terest in them everywhere is keen. If the vots is polled that these mak- ing the fight for it anticipate, the majority in favor of No. 10 will pro0- ably reach 10000. In all sections 1t appears as though the amendment will carry as the Bryan trip cleared up clouds in several smoky places. Gov. Donaghey believes the vote will be sufficiently heavy for the majority to reach 50,000. The fate of Mo-. II is not so certain, as the whole fight has been centered on No. 10. The heavy vote which is being cast ev- erywhere today means that the rep eesentation in the next Democratic convention, unless the present ba- sis is reduced, will be larger than ever before, the delegates probably luS dUOuC tOO, WA1CA 1S So0 above the average. The heavy vote will also entitle many townships to additional justices of the peace. Talk en as whole the contests today are more interesting than they have been in years, particularly in Garland county, where one wing of the Dem ocratic party is supporting the Re publican nominees, as in counties where new county clerks are to be chosen
 The awaiting of results will be as anxiously entered into tonight as in the Democratic state primaries. One feature in the amendment fight which is not being overlooked by the shrewd politicians, is the amendment majority, which they consider an in- dication of the Donaghey strength and be 8 strong straw in the wind of his probable candidacy for the United States Senate next year.

JARRETT JOHNSON
 WANTS THE WATER
Lincoln County Negro Farmer Blocks Penitentiary Board in its Efforts To Drain the State
 Lands.
is quickly absorbed.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept 12.-Jar- rett~ Johnson, not Jack. but as black who owns two and a half acres of land adjoining the State Farm, on the road leading out from Warner, is just now proving a thorn in the side of the state officials, and preventing the state from putting several hun red acres of now worthless land in to tillable condition. At meeting of the penitentiary board several months ago it was decided to drain deep ditches beside the Warner road The road improvement district that had been building good road in that section, agreed to allow the state to dig the ditch beside the road if the dirt from the excavation would be thrown into the center of the road and build it up.
 This was done and when the ditch was opened the flow of the water into the river was such the water in the lake was receding rapidly. The negro's land borders on the lake and seeing the water going further and further from his farm, he stopped up the ditch, saying he did not want the lake to dry up and leave him without water. Legal Proceedings oi some sort will now have to be resort ed to in order to open the ditch again but just what nature they shall be will be left to Attorney General Nor wood at the meeting of the Board which will probably take place to- day or tomorrow.

SOMEBODY signed
The CURRENCY
AND MAN WITH CHECK THOUGHT
IT WAS MUTiLATEp.

Dickinson, N. D., Aug. IA lot of
funny things happen every day, es-
pecially at a big hotel, but when a
man came up to the counter of the. st.
Charles the other day and got check
cashed and then refused to take the
greenbacks when they were offered
him limit was reached-and passed.
The stranger gave as his reason for
not accepting the bills that they were
signed, as everyone could see, by the
president and cashier of the bank
which issued them and hence, @. e. D.,
they were N. G., as they were mutt
lated.
That was considered by the hotel
people to be rather hard slam on
the penmanship of the bankers aud
they had considerable difficulty in con-
vincing the stranger that the money
was good anywhere. Finally he ac-
cepted 1t and the next time he came
to town returned to the hotel to cash
another check, but the hotel decided
1t took too much valuable time to
cash checks for a man who had lived
thirty-flve years and not discov cred
that all greenback currency 70 rigncd.
