Uncle Mat" Smith Of near Raw

came very near drowning in Spring
river a few days since. He was
rowing a boat, which capsized from
the force of a strong gale. He at
tempted to right the boat, but his
efforts failed, and he was forced to
cling to the boat until it. hoated to
the bank. The old gentleman was
much exhausted and very weak
when safety was reached, the timehe
spent in the water being more than
an hour.

The old Confederate pensioners
are now receiving their annual
checks from the state. They are
Getting only 68 cents on the dollar
of their allowance by the pension
board That's a dirty shame II
they received one hundred cents on
the dollar then these old heroes
very many of whom are decrepit
and dependent, would not be recon-
pensed for the service and suffering
they gave to the fairest cline on
the globe. The legislature wasted
enough money in forty different
ways to have made the old Confed-
crate glad with a check for the
full amount Of, his allowance.
Oh, you men of red blood, who
must spend the public funds for al
most everything else imaginable
and sap the state yourselves by
taking from its treasury that which
you have not earned, while the old
Confederate soldier, who won ever
lasting fame where bullets flew, is
put off in his last and most needy
days with a crumb and a pittance,
where is your manhood?
o.
Our announcement column this
week contains the name of William
A. Oldfeld of Batesville, who is a
candidate to succeed himself as a
member of Congress from the Sec
ond district.
Mr.. Oldfeld is very popular
man in Sharp county. 1t is re-
membered that at the primary in
which he was first nominated for
Congress this county gave him the
LARGEST majority he received in any
county in the district Our people
did not give him this rousing ma
jority simply because he is prod
uct Of this immediate section OF
/. the state, but mainly because
knowing him, they believed he
would be valuable man in Cong
ress and that he would look after
the public interests with ability
energy and care.
: :
And this estimate of him has
proved true. 1t is claimed for Old
field that he is one of the hardest
workers in Congress; that ne is in
variably in his seat during the ses-
sions following carefully the delib'
erations of that body and engaging
actively in them.
:. "
Mr.. 0ldfelds career in Congress
has attracted attention in all parts
of the country, His energies and
the general trend of legislation
which he proposes have given him
a tlSeminence not usually accorded
to men who have been in Congress
but a short time. Mr.. Oldfeld Is
now serving only his second term
in the country's law-makine body
He Is the author of some OF the
most important measures intro
duced since he has been member
of Congress. Several Of h {
speeches on public questions have

attracted widespread notice and
have been endorsed and published
by the leading democratic journals
of the country. He has prepared a
catechism on the tariff question
which should prove a valuable aid
to the democratic party in the pres
idential campaign because of its
thorouehness and clearness. He is
always alert for the interests of his
district. His votes are cast in the
interest Of the people.
.. :. ::
1t has not been the policy of this
district, or perhaps any other, to re-
tire a man from Congress at the
end of his second term if he has
proved himself worthy of the office
and competent to fill it. Mr. Old
fields friends declare he has fully
measured up to every requirement
of the place and should be retained
in Congress.
o
Gracious! Now that the state
experts have gone in all parts of
the state and found hookworms al
most everywhere, it is discovered
that there is no money in the state
treasury with which to fight the
hookworm. Truly this state is in a
bad fix. We thought things bad
enough before this late calamity
that we must be chewed up and
spit out by the hookworm for the
lack of few funds for the neces-
sary defense.

All the churches of HoXie and
Walnut Ridge have united and are
engaged in a union revival meeting

eaeed in wraneling and criticism
one with the other
o.
Did you ever think about this?
Right here in Arkansas there is
vast amount Of money spent every
year by the state in instructine the
people how to care for their hogs,
horses, cattle, etc. Great appropri-
ations are made and men are paid
to fight those diseases which attack
our lower animals. But what does
the state do to promote health
among her citizensY Not a thing.
Still there is nothing of greater i'm
portance to the state than the
health of her citiZens-not the low
er animals. This state ought to
have a department of public health,
where all the people could Oct in
struction on all matters of health
from the best talent obtainable
FREE, and where they would Get
much information they ought to
know for the good of their own
health II they only had the same
opportunity of getting this infor-
nation that they now have of re-
ceiving free advice for the preven-
ton and cure of disease among
| their live stock,

One Of the most important results
OF his work in Labrador, he said, was
the fact that you can 60 to Labrador

salt it down ami sell it for cash. The
old barter system OF trading is passing,
and in its place is being developed
a system founded upon an economic
basis, where q man earns what Gt

The coast people are taught agricul'

are raised for meat values, and the
bleak lands which cannot bear wheat,
