Death of Robert Irwin Whittenton.

Robert Irwin Whittenton, the second son of Mir. and Mrs. John l. l NhittentOn, of the Yocona neighbor- hood, died at the home of his parents, Monday night, October l6, 1911, at ll;35 o'clock, after nine days illness, of malaria hematuria. The young man, who was q bright, loyeabe boy was attending school al NocOna schoolhouse at the time of his being stricken with his fatal illness. and though every thing possible that medical skill or kindly loving atten- ton of parents brothers, sisters, rela- tiVes and friends could do was done 10 proong his life, their efforts proved If no avail, and on Monday night the Grim Reaper came and with his silent, inevitable Scythe cut down in the very heyday of it's youth, young life that gave fair promise ot budding into an honest, useful man.
 Besides his parents. four brothers Clifford, Thomas, Jack and Jamie, and five sisters, Mrs. Will Fisher, of this city, and Misses Nora, beta. Mabel and Ola survlve him and mourn the loss of their loved one.
 The funeral proceeded from the lamlly residence Tuesday afternoon and at O o'clock, the precious remains were laid to rest in the Forrest City cemetery, Elder F. P ] Garrott. of the Baptist church, of this city, con ducting the services at the grave. The funeral was attended by a large concourse of relatives. and friends of the family, who in th's manner es- saved to show their sincere sympathy for the heartbroken members.
 The Times desires to express it's earnest and sincere sympathy for the bereayed family, but realizing that any words We might write, can do litlle to asSuage their sorrow, we can only commend them to Him that doeth all things for the best, and remind them that in death there is no victory, nor is there in the grave sting

4 TREACHEROUS TROUBLE
Forrest City People Point Out
 the Way.

Kidney diseases are very dangerous, They come on silently, gain ground rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths that could have been prevented by proper treatment in the beginning. Nature gives early warnings of kidney disease backache, twingeS of pain when stepping or lifting, headaches and urinary disordets. If these symptoms are unheeded, there is grave danger of dropsy or fatal Bright s disease. Doan's Kidney Pills have earned reputation for their etfec- tiveness in kidney troubles, and are known and recommended the world over. Forrest City testimony proves the merit of Deans Kidney Pills to our readers.
 W. A. Wilkins, carpenter 509 S. RosSer St, Forrest City Ark, says: an certain that Deans Kidney Pills are an excellent kidney and hackache remedy and act just as represented, have used them when suffering from troubles of this kind and been greatly relieved.

The Juvenal shows

See what the Charleston, Missouri, Press has to say of the Stadium Shows
 that will be in Forrest City all next
 week:
 The Juvenal Shows. which are here this week, have given our people a chance to see some good things in the way of athletics, and other attractions not found Ill the ordinary shows The tents are connections and well ar
 ranged and the employees of the shows accommodating and polite one Of the chief attractions is the big steam swing, which is the finest rotary swing ever brought to this l city. There are no fakes or skin games, and the whole management is clean and reputable. Mr JuVenaI is
 big part of the show himself, being.
 as claimed. the strongest man of his
 weight in the world. His feats with
 the dumb bells and heavy weights are 1 truly marvellous. There is good
 negro minstrel concert and the Pick anlnny band is an excellent one
 The Juvenal Shows are the best and cieanest attractions that have visited our city and are well worthy of the patronage of our people.
 One of the peculiar features of this
 aggregation is that the manager, Mr.
 Juvenal, is Baptist preacher and breaches on his rounds when oppor- tunity offers. He contends that
 there is no reason why preacher may not conduct show, and we believe f any one can harmonize the two pro- fessions he can. One of the feat ures of the show is d lecture by MT. Juv- enal on the value of athletic training

New and modern benches have been placed in both waiting rooms. the walls have been replaster. ed. the painting freshehed. and the place oyerhauled pretty thoroughly.

Chicago, April 21.-Fear of impending starva-

Mrs. Honore Dieurgot, and the older child, Joseph

1t is said that both will recover.
Dieurgot tonight told of the poverty which fol-
lowed long illness and then related the desperate
agreement with his wife that the two should
poison themselves and their babies.
with my last rs cents he said, ''T bought the
poison at drug store My wife and mixed it in

Say, Brother RagsdaIe! What About
Am ItemiZed Account?

A private letter informs me that the breth-
rem who have had the custody of Mission
money are being put under bonds. Why not?
When such perfectly honest man as Rev.
DIR. r. }. Forester is required to make bond,
as Treasurer of Mercer University, can't see
why any fduciary agent should be exempt.
DO you reckon that Bro. B. K Ragsdale,
D. d., is under a bond? He lives at
Locust Grove, Ga, you know He handles
piles of Mission money
Whenever he feels like it, he gives out
statement. On reading the last one that he
published [ was Fright we'll amused" Such
lnfantlle absence of business method was re-
freshlng. By the time [ finished the three
separate arrays of figures, [ couldn't to save
my life, tell whether Bro. Ragsdale was lend
ing money to the banks; Or they, to him.
1t bothers me to have my mind twisted around
in that style. [ love financial statements that
show me where | am at This way of not
letting us know, for certain, whether we owe
the banks; or they, us, is calculated to cause
us to talk in our slumbers.
Then, again, Brother Ragsdales report is
sadly shorn of detail. It is bereft of any
reference to VOucherS.
Why couldn't he itemize his statements and
add to each entry of disbursement the reassur-
Gas per voucher No. l." or voucher No. 2;
and so on?
That's the way a Trustee does. That's the
way Executors, Administrators and Guard
ians make out their official returns
Brother Ragsdale handles large sums of
money. They are not only trust funds, but
they are sacred. His report should be flash
light on this consecrated treasure, showing
how every dollar of it was appropriated AS
it now stands, his report is nothing of the
kind
[ do not intimate that there is anything
Irregular or wrong; but [ do say that the
Baptists who furnish these large sums are
entitled to more business-like showing of
their disbursement.

Stretching the Constitution


Twenty years ago, was in the Supreme
Court room, of Georgia, awaiting the call of
a case on the docket. Mr. Frank II. Miller.
of the Augusta bar, was holding the attention
of the Court with the argument of the various
points made in the Bill of Exceptions in "The
Augusta and Summerville r. r. Co. VS.. Ran
dali and Wife"
The monotony OF the proceedings was in
terrupted by Mr.. Millers "Ninthly" When
he made the point that certain statute of the
State OF Georgia was void as to the Augusta
and Summerville r. r. Co., because it was in
violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Judges Blandford and Hall-buff old gentle
men and capital lawyers, -broke out into a
good-humored, but hearty and emphatic, pro-
test.
"Why, Mr.. NiUer," said they, 'tAe Four
teenth Amemdmaent hasn't got anything to do
e07t@ y0nT street car company; THE SUBJECT
MATTER OF THAT AMENDMENT IS, NIGGERs. .
And fat laugh refreshed the Bench.
And, of course, we lawyers laughed with
the Court,-the Judges iokes-like those of
the school-master-al being good Jokes, from
time whereof the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary
When the decision rendered in the case came
to be written out, the language used by the
Court was not quite SO literal, but the sense
is the same, for they say:
"Such a construction isr clearly not con-
templated in this Fourteenth Amendment. 1t
refers to classes, and means that You shall NOT
impose different rule upon a man q0hose
color IS black from that imposed upon one
ach0se color IS White." THAT WAS THE PURPOSE
OF THE AMENDMENT; THAT IS WHY 1T WAS PUT
THERE; AND IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO MEAN
ANYTHING ELSE.
When those three changes in the organic
law were being made, nobody intended new
legislation upon any other earthly subject than
upon the status of the Negro To him, and
to him alone, the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments were meant to carry
new and precious gifts.
By the very wording of these Amendments.
1t will be seen that they applied to natural
persons; not to artificial creations by charter.
lake the first sentence of the Fourteenth
Amendments
"All persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States. and

Surely, it is clear that this sentence does not
refer to corporations.

AOuu1y P1OCldlIllcu duu widely dQVor-
hsed their noble achievement in throw
kSfSd ing out of work number of poor
NcSM men, poor women, and needy girls, in
E1-S1 Washington
These doughty and drastic retrenchers of
governmental expenses triumphantly boast
that they have saved us $185,OOO year, by
dlscharg1ng these minor employees.
Ihoughtless editors have eulogized the
Democratic Congressman for their magnif-
cent performance the boys and the
girls, the men and the women who suddenly
lost their jobs, and had to 90 home reaped
no sympathy from any earthly source.
| do not say that it was wrong to abolish
the useless offices held by these underlings
On the contrary, have frequently called at
tention to the creation of unnecessary offices
and the payment of dropsical salaries
But here is where the hypocrisy and the
humbug comes in:
Those Congressman are the very chaps who
greedlly took an increase of 50, 800 per year
en- their Oayn salaries; and did it in such
sneaking, cowardly manner that there is no
record of the vote!
Not for your life must you ask those Con-
gressmen to reduce their annual pay to
$4,000 Their Infamous grab added nearly
O. maaz1lon dollars to the Governments yearly
expenses. Had they been honest and earnest
in their work of reform, they would have
saved us that million Instead of doing so,
they save less than one-fifth of it; and do so
at the expense of many people who have no
$4,000 salary to drop down to.
1t is the DID, old story: Pick out the little
fezzOU, and jump on him.
A few years ago, when the corporations
were retrenching, were any of the Big Men
hit! No. The President, and the General
Manager, and the General Counsel continued
to draw the same fancy salaries
Who was put to the sword?
Who was thrown out of work?
The labOrer who worked with his hands,
and whose family depended on those hands
for daily bread.
And so it is with this Congress. A whole
lot of people who have no pull, will be made
to walk the plank, while all sorts of Boards,
Commissions, Experts and fancy-men draw
prodlglous pay.
If Congress honestly meant to economic,
the system would be changed. We would
abolish the Roman luxuries enjoyed by the
Congressman themselves. We would compel
Congressman to pay their own postage. We
would cease to foot their telegraph bills. We
would abolish their 81 800 Secretaries We
would quit paying them, when they are absent
from their post of duty. When they run home
to try law cases, we would suspend their
salaries. When they wash themselves, or take
medicine, or indulge in Soft Drinks, we
would let them do so at their own expense
We would abolish every ambassadorship. We
would cut out half of the naval expenditure.
We'd cut the River and Harbor bill half in
two. We would put out of commission the
three vessels which are used by the President
and his Smart-set for social purposes, only.
We would use the fifty -million-dollar surplus
