 l find the friends of Judge Sim mons greatly disappointed over his 1 defeat, While he was not openly fought on the whiskey question, it Is freely admitted that that is what beat him. The thing to do now Is for the temperance forces to organize and carry the county for prohibition in the September election.
 am glad that some who were asking for office in our county l |dndependenee) have gone up Salt river, and 1t is to be hoped that they will never return, politically. But the battle is not over. When the September election comes let us carry the Brown amendment . for county prohibition by a good majority

This is a beautiful country and one of the finest farming sections in the en- tire state. 1 am told that the ay- craze crop is three-foarths of q bale of cotton and 25 to 50 bushels of corn per acre, and hay and other crops in proportion. The best land Is of a sandy loan; no rocks, but there are some slashes. But=it Is only matter of time un- til these will be drained.

4 TRICK THAT FAILED

My Dear Friend:-I am at home for few days trying to attend to some law business. There Is gang up in Washington that are endeaVoring to do me all the harm they can, but l trust my friends will pay no attention to them.
 T am taking no public interest in the Governors race, but 1 want to write to q few of my personal friends, such as you, and urge them to do all they can for kava- naugh. He is my friend and l think 1t Is high time that Arkansas was rid of Donaghey, RemmeI, Powell Clayton and that gang.
 Since 1 came home 1 find that every Republican in Arkansas k for Donaghey, and especially those who were in the Powell Clayton malitia. This ought to be enough to satisfy any true Demo- crat how to vote.
 Please do not use my name publicly in this matter because 1 do not want to be mixed up in it; treat this letter confidential, but 1 wish you would put the boys on notice, and if necessary. just day or two before the primary put them on horses and send them into the back townships and tell them what we want done-results are what we want, and l hope that you will see to it that your county comes up all right.
 ''I will be here until next week and l wish 1 could see you before l leave for Washington.
 Your friend,
 JEFF DAVIS.
 During q visit to Little Rock just before the recent Democratic primary. several thousand of the above letters, written on his official stationery, were sent out all over the state by Senator Jeff Davis.
 It seems that his experience in the gubernatorial campaign two years ago ought to have cured Senator Davis of this butting-in habit.
 The people are paying Senator Davis $625 a month to represent them in the United States senate, and we believe they will agree with LIS that he can come a great deal nearer earning the money by staying in Washington and attend ing to his business than he can by trying to dictate to the people as to who they shall elect to office.
 It is said that in some counties every one of Jef's former friends received one of these letters just day or two before the election, and we know that several of them
