DIRECT LEGISLATION

At the state election, early in September next, the people of Ar kansas will vote on the dire ct leg islation amendment. Another amendmend will be submitted at the same time, providing that all money invested in the manufacture of cotton materials for the next ten years be exempted from taxation for seven years.
 We believe direct legislation is a good thing for the masses of the people, and we hope the people of Arkansas will see that this amend ment Is carried by an oyerwhelm- ing majority. No state has yet de- feated such an amendment and the majorities have ranged from 3 to 1 to about II to 1
 Eight states now have an Initia- tive and Referendum constitution al amendment. They are South Dakota, Utah, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Oklahoma, Maine and Missouri.

AN UNVARNISHED TRUTH

The best man of every town for the advancement of the general affairs of the community is the man who is always seen on the front seat in the progressive ba nd wagon. He is the first one to ex- tend an open and warm hand to the stranger, welcoming him to the best town in the country. " He is ever ready to give his time and just proportion of his money, to every enterprise that is for the good and uplift of the community. He talks about its people at home and abroad, and believes in it's future growth and prosperity. He never crOaks nor mopes about as though he lived in a cemetery where no one wishes to enter, and one who enters can never escape; he is always a live member. Fill a town with such men and some- thing will turn up".-Smithyille Homecrofter.

4 FEW OBSERVATIONS
Attention Called to Some rIatters
 Worthy of Note

Mir. Editor. T have observed that the last term of circuit court lasted only three weeks, and that 1t was the shortest term there has been in this county for six years. Of the six persons charged with penitentiarY crimes, one, a negro boy who had no money nor friends, and plead guilty, was con- yicted and sentenced; the others either plead guilty to misdemean- 0rs or the charges were nol pross- ed. 1 have also observed that the brotherhood of whiskey peddlers of Batesville have inaugurated the
 cooperative reciprocal plan" for their own exclusive benefit and for the upbuilding of the country in their line of business. Their plan is this: When one peddler is be- ing tried for selling whiskey all the other peddlers, together with some disinterested parties Gust enough to keep down suspicion) go on the witness stand and impeach the states witnesses-swear that they would not believe them on oath-thereby clearing the ped- dlers so they can go on with their profession, which, with her schools and churches, makes BatesvilIe what she is.
 1 have observed further
 That Prosecuting Attorney lief fiery was not to be found at his post of. duty during the whole of the last term of court.
 That in the last election, the strongest prohibition township in the county, White River, voted for ayowed whlskey men.
 That the present county election commissioners seem to favor whiskey men for election judges, strange as this may seem in a pro- hibition county. But remember: When we think good easy man, surely our greatness is ripening2"
 That the Goddess of Justice on the court house, seeing her cause remorselessly trampled under foot by persons who should be her strongest devotees, has, in dis gust, hurled to the ground her scales of justice and is now contem- plating suicide because the people have not enough interest in her cause to hand her scales back or try to revive her cause.

ELECTION TOO COSTLY

No wonder the people of Arkan- sas are astonished at the cost of the recent gubernatorial contest in their state. Mir. Kavanaugh was overwhelmingly defeated in the primary and his effort cost him more than $l5, ,000. Gov. Donag- hey spent only something like half as much, as he never regarded himself in any serious danger of defeat Something must be done of a certainty to reduce the cost, else a poor man cannot aspire to political prominence.

ANNUAL SCHOOL ELECTION
One in Which Every Patriotic Git
 izen Should Take an Interest

State Supertendent Geo B. Cook is urging the County Exam iners and school officials through out the state to arouse a greater interest in the annual school cleo tion.
 The question of county uniform ity of text books will be voted on in number of counties, and in all districts maxium seven-mill local school tax may be voted. One director will be elected in each common school district and two directors in each special dist rict.
 The question of county superin- tendency, however, can not be voted upon this year. The law provides that this question shall be submitted only the years preceding the general election. The first time this question was submitted was last year, at which time seven counties-Garland, Miller, Jack son, Lee, Crawford, Mississippi and Sebastian-voted for the new law. The county supertendents will be elected in these counties this fall at the general election.

DR.. J. Fl. Bruce, Of 1881 Edgewood
Ave-, Atlanta, Ga, has made a discov-
cry for the cure of Cancer and Dropsy
that has revolutiOnized this branch of
Medical Science. Eminent physicians
have been baff1ed by this question for
ages. DR.. Bruce's remedies have been
tested by the best physicians of the
land, and in every instance have per-
fected a cure. He has made over 700
cures of cancer and over 500 cures of
Dropsy. DR.. Bruce refers to any one in
Atlanta as to his reliability.
The Dropsy medicine sells for $500
per box, or six boxes for $500. If
there is no complication of diseases, six
boxes will effect a cure in short
time. Some cases have been cured in
ten days.
The Cancer medicine sells for $500
per bottle, or one weeks treatment for
$1,000. One months treatment for $500.

know Chinese they could devote all
day to teaching. If they arrived
here tomorrow they could go to
teaching next day" Read it careful
ly. Here is the deliberate statement
that the teachers need not know Chi
nese to teach Chinese. Just take it
home to ourselves. Suppose one
hundred and fifty missionaries Chat
is the number now called for in
China1 were to land in Gainesville
tomorrow to teach the heather. They
need not learn English, but could
teach English right away. Great
Father in heaven! is this the thing
we have been praying for, paying for,
and, like the horse-leech's daughter,
it is forever crying, "More pay!
more pay"
Rev. Mr. Loehr says "there is
some seriousness in regard to their
souls salvation, but not much out
ward show" How are those teach
ers to know what they are serious"
about, if one side is only acquainted
with Chinese, and the other side
English? We suppose our mission
aries are teaching by example, for it
is reported here and elsewhere eve
saw it in the Cincinnati paper yester-
day. that one of our early Georgia
missionaries now owns 100000.
We wish poor Georgia Methodist
preachers to ponder these facts we'll,
and when they go to Conference,
don't let the big preachers, who get
big salaries, coax them out of a SO

til our debts are paid there and else
where; don't condone a mistake,
when the results are so little COM
mensurate with the outlay, and if
China can pay so we'll for her school
ing, and people get so rich over there
ION nothing, seriously consider the
question, of how soon you can also
go over on pleasant foreign excur-
sion, provided gratis by the church,
with elegant homes furnished and
no Chinese to learn, and to teach
(not preach) only half day. When
you go to Conference find out who
do and who do not clamor for con-
sideratiOn, cash or notoriety.
Friends, there is food here for
thought, and if we export our reli-
gion as we'll as all our spare money,
do see that the matter is understood
more fully.
We have before us the appropria-
tons of last year by the Woman's
Missionary Society, and we suppose
they will have to pay the same and
more hereafter. They had in the
field this year sixteen lady mission
