VERNON IS WELL
 KNOWN HERE
Negro Who Delivered Commencement Address at Last Branch Normal Ex- ercises, to Be Removed by
 President Taft.

The following special will be read with interest in Pine Bluff, especially by the negroes of this city, because w. T. Vernon, negro register of the United States Treasury, recently visit ed Pine Bluff and delivered the ad- dress at the annual commencement exercises of the Branch Normal Col lege, held in the Elks Theater:
 William T. Vernon, the negro reg ister of the treasury, is to have his political head chopped off by Presi- dent Taft, the Lord High EXecutioner of the Republican party. There is no charge that Vernon has not attend ed to his duties, but he is from Kan sas, and as his influence proved worthless in that state to stem the insurgent tide he is to be politically decapitated, and J. c. Napier, a negro of Nashville, Tenn, is to be installed in his place. The appointment of Napier is expected to bring the Ten nessee negroes back to their original Republican allegiance. From this may be adduced that the Republican use of the negro is what can be got out of him politically. The faithful ser- vice of Vernon will not save his pOli- tical head; nor will like service of those other negroes who have been appointed to federal offices, unless they can show results at the prmar- ies and at elections that suit the Re publican leaders who use them for their own aggrandizement.

BUILDING AND BULL
 IN SUPREME COURT

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 4.-9ecaNse w. R. Lancaster sued School Dlstrlct No. IT in Baxter county for Sl0o on a balance due for building small school house, and because he asked for an additional $100 for an alleged enforced delay of 30 days because lumber was not furnished him to com plete the building, the supreme court will have to pass on the mater, transcript of appeal being filed there Tuesday afternoon. The school dl- rectors replied to the suit that there were cracks in the building pig enough to throw a dog through ana that the roof sagged. The court sustained the defendants and the case went to the supreme court. Another interesting transcript filed there al- so was that of o. P. Wilson vs the State of Arkansas. Wilson was con- victed in the Greenwood district of Sebastian county and given year Ill the penitentiary for stealing a bull. Wilson claimed to have raised the bull, but the owner proved he had turned the bull out to graZe and lat CT found it in the Wilson pasture. He tried to get possession of it and had to go after replevin papers, return ing with them to find the bull gone. The hide was later found in Green wood where the bull had been sold for beef

Reid of Morrilton who spent Tuesday in Arkansas at tending to some private business, land it is not all truth that I am going to leave my heritage and go to Okla homa. I want to stay in Arkansas and it is not settled that I will not do so.

BRYAN IS THANKFUL
Congratulatcs Governor DOnaghey Up
 on Majority Given Amendment.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 14.-Gover- nor Donaghey this morning received a lengthy telegram from William Jen- nings Bryan, who is now resting at his home in Lincoln, Neb., after his hard campaign for Amendment No. 10 in Arkansas, congratulating him and the state of Arkansas upon the vic- tory won by the amendment.
 Colonel Bryan stated that it is not only great victory for Arkansas but he considers it a personal acknowledgment from the people to Governor Donaghey for the valiant fight he made for the amendment.
 The message was received in e. sponse to one sent him by Governor Donaghey yesterday telling the news of the victory MT. Bryan had asked for the message, stating that he would be watching and waiting for it. He said in all of his speeches that he would expect to hear the votes rolling up so fast on the night of election that it would make a noise all the Wa to Nebraska, and he would let out shout which could be heard all the way back to Arkansas.

The Graphic's Weekly
 Stock Letter

During the past week the stock market has experienced a further de- cline which cannot be attributed to anything but continued liquidation.
 Business has been very much re- stricted on the exchange owing to the practical disappearance of investment buying. Transactions are confined mostly to speculative professional ac tivity. Outside interest in the mar ket is less now that it has been in several years.
 Trade reports are still very unsat- isfactory in most lines, the Steel In dustry now showing decided slow ing up. Railroad earnings are also falling off rapidly.
 The most encouraging features in the financial situation are the fairly good crop prospects and the improv- ing banking position. Money is easy with light demand.

EASY WORK FOR
 W. Y. ELLIS
Jefferson County Man is Placed in New Position at Pulaski County
 Court House by the State.

Little Rock, Sept. 14.-W. Y. Ellis. who is serving a three years sentence for killing x. P. Willis in the county court house here last fall, and who is now working for the county under the special act which places all convicts sent up from Pulaski county with less than 3 years to serve, at the dispos- al of the county to work on the roads, has been promoted again. He was part of the surveying squad of the county at first, but he is now as- sistant custodian of the Pulaski county court house, the duties of which are much lighter for him. FL lis is apparently in the best of health but 1t was thought advisable to bring him in for the winter as he has been examined by physicians who state he has primary tuberculosis and the cold weather in the camp would not benefit his health. AS Ellis has been in prison for about year now, there is some talk of making another petition to Gov. Donaghey for his par. don. A petition With 14,000 sigma lures was presented to Governor Donaghey at the time of his convict ion, with the names of many of the most influential people in the state upon it, but Gov. Donaghey at that time declined to grant pardon.

INDEPENDENTS
 HOLDING OUT
Indications Are That They Will Re main Loyal to Their Republican AL liance in Tennessee in Order to
 Rebuke the Patterson
 Administration.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept 14.-The in dependent Democratic convention met here at noon today with a majority of it's delegates instructed to endorse Captain Hooper, Republican nominee for governor. This morning it is said many of the delegates are in fav- or of not endorsing Hooper, but mak- ing him the nominee. This report is the unofficial answer to yesterdays harmony offering by the regular Dem ocrats state committee and reports that Governor Patterson's withdraw al from the regular nomination would cause bolt in the convention.
 Independent leaders confidently predicted a thousand or more dele gates would vote to keep faith with their Republican allies as "a rebuke for the pardoning of Senator Car mack's slayer, for alleged non-en- forcement of prohibition laws and al- legged attempts to control the judi ciary for political purposes and for the issuance of over 1000 pardons by Governor Patterson during his two terms. The Independents hold that many Of these pardons were for poli- tical ends.
 In addition to acting on the Repub- lican gubernatorial candidate today's convopfiop Drooroo, coils for +bo nomination of B. "A. Enloe, whom the Republicans already have endorsed, for railroad commissions, the elect ion of a state Democratic committee and the adoption of the platform. No action on platform principles had been taken before the delegates reached the hall. Tonight the reg ular Democratic state executive con- mittee will meet to receive the ans wer of the Independent convention to their peace resolution and map out the regulars next step in the com plicated Tennessee political game.
 The Independent Democratic Con- vention met at noon, and perfected temporary organization and adjourn ed until ? D. m. The platform of the convention hall was filled with Con- federate Veterans, who 800 strong. marched through downtown streets to the hall, cheering for the Republican candidate for governor, Captain Hoop CT.
 The veterans demonstration for the Republican gubernatorial candi-- date was said to be unprecented in Tennessee politics. G. T. Fitzhugh, of Memphis. was temporary chairman.

DON'T BREAK DOWN.

Severe strains on the vital organs, like strains on machinery, cause break-downs. You can't over-tax stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or nerves without serious danger to yourself. If you are weak or run down, or under strain of any kind, take Electric Bitters the matchless, tonic medicine. Mrs. J. E. Van de Sande, of Kirkland, H., writes: That l did not break down, while most severe strain, for three months, is due wholly to Elec- tric Bitters.' Use them and enjoy health and strength.
