A Splendid Record.

Hon. R. J. Williams, Prosecuting Attorney for this District, returned home Saturday from Helena where he had just finished his work in the Phillips County Circuit Court, and is mingling with and receiving the con- gratulations of his friends
 We have been informed by fellow lawyer that our able prosecutor won laurels in this as in other courts of the district, and his success as the Guardian of the peace and dignity of the State, is worthy the notice and applause of every good citizen who stands for law and order
 We are told that Attorney Williams secured at Helena verdict of guilty with sentences to the pententiary in g cases and one other for murder in the first degree with a sentence of hanging.
 This is most wonderful and start ling record, and should be a terror to evil doers and those who contemplate breaking the law, adding as it should and does the certainly that he will convict them if there is one scintilla of evidence on which he may build his prosecution.
 In one case the prosecutor offered one charged with forging and utter ing forged paper. that if he would plead guilty to the former and take two years, the other charges, would, with the permission and sympathy of the court be dismissed. The prisoner declined stating that he would not take 10 minutes, whereupon he was ordered to stand trial before jury of his peers, and after hearing the evidence and the able argument of the honorable counsel, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenced to about nine years.
 We do not know Senator Williams intentions as to again offering for reelection to the high office which he now holds, but we honestly feel that he has served his state and people conscientiously, faithfully and well, with credit to himself and honor to his constituency, and that he is the right man in the right place. And whatever his intentions may now be, he should be requested, yea induced, not to say compelled, to stand for re- election. It would be compliment to the man of genius who has deserv- ed it, and it would be an indorsement of his official act which he would ap- preciate

Overcome Threatned Disaster.

The rain Saturday night was greatly appreciated, but 1t was scarce ly season and the crops need more. We have been told that the crop pros poets in this county were never known to be so unpromising as at the present time, First, too much rain, then drought, continued cold weather, and especially nights. with east winds, have greatly retarded farm work and seed generations. There is yet time, how ever, to overcome this threatened disaster, by intensive farming.
 AppropOs of this, and other discour- aging conditions, we have recently received bulletin from Hon. Fred II. Phillips Commissioner of Agricul- ture, in which he makes very strong argument in favor of intense cultiya- tion of what we have as an offset to what we have lost by reduction of acerage, and even now at this late date, the advantages of diversification. What he advises as an offset to reduc- ed acreage, is just as true of every other reason for short crop. He says.
 Reports coming to this Department indicate that the Arkansas cotton acreage is going to be cut short at least fifteen or twenty percent It is the hope Of this Department that the Arkansas farmer will adapt himself to this shortage of acreage and cul- tiyate that which we do plant in cotton so as not to have decrease in yield this year over last year. We can do this and by doing so make the present apparent disaster or handicap result to our good
 If the cotton acreage is reduced fifteen or twenty percent we will have this fifteen or twenty percent more land to plant to cereals and forage
 Then, If we can raise as much cotton this year on less acreage than we did last year and in addition to this, have fifteen or twenty per cent of last years acreage planted to cereals and forage, these crops which we are short on Tn Arkansas 1 cannot see but that 1t will be an advantage to us
 Let us be sure and plant plenty of corn to run the place. let us raise sufficient hay and forage to run the farm.
 Buy some more cattle to feed your hay to this fall, add to this forage cotton seed meal and carefully save the manure and by doing so save fertilizer bills next Spring. Let us raise more and better hogs.
 We should also improve the grades of our cattle by saving only the best COWS and by careful selection we can grade our cattle up to the highest standard with but very little expense S having more cattle on the farm we are able to feed more of our cotton seed meal and increase the fertilizer yield of the farm and decrease the fertilizer bill next spring. Let us al. ways keep in mind the absolute necessity of producing more of those things which are daily consumed on the farm and let us make Arkansas what she should be, Bread and Meat" State.

The Gulfport Miss Daily Record has the following to say of The Bur- rows and Leslie Big "Jesse James" Show which exhibits under canvas in Forrest City on Monday, May 29th; The Burrows and Leslie Big Show Company presented Jesse James" in their big tent last night to one of the largest audiences Gulfport has ever given to a show of this kind. The entertainment was of the western or der, but was tar from being all melo. drama and gun play as the version of Jesse James presented by the Bur- rows and Leslie Co.,, contains abun- dance of comedy situations, pleasing ly intermingled with the dramatic climaxeS which kept the interest of the audience centered on the stage | from beginning to finish.
 Contrary 10 the expectations of a great many people the play Jesse James teaches a great moral lesson and anyone seeing the version pre- sented by Burrows and Leslie Con- pany would lose all desire to follow in the footsteps of Jesse James. The big audience seemed to understand that they were to have d good show and encored every opportunity from the beginning to the fall of the cur tain on the last act Miss Leona Les lie as Liza and Vine Martin as Lige, the two negro servants who remained loyal to the James family through all their tribulations. kept the big audi ence in roars of laughter all the time they were on the stage.
 The interior arrangements Of the big tent was much heater and cleaner than the average tent shows, and the tent was we'll supplied with scenery and well lighted. The tent was warm ed with charcorl heaters and was as comfortable as any opera house.
 Separate entrances were maintain. ed for white and colored people and the best of order prevailed. The tent was huge one and although we'll sup | piled with seats was taxed to it's cap acity. Burrows and Leslie have a good show and can always be sure o a large audience whenever they play Gulfport.

LIVE By THE DAY.

Copyright. 1908. BY Edwin A. Nye


You are under contract to live your
life.
How will you do it-by the day or
by the job:
If you live by the job you are apt
to be always getting ready to enjoy
the performance.
If you live by the day you are likely
to get something out of life
1t Is we'll enough to plan for the fu-
ture and work to your plans, but YOU
should get something out Of life every
day.
We live too much in prospect.
We will enjoy life-when we get fix
ed for it. We will be happy-tomor-
row or next day. We will be useful
to our generation-when we get time
for it. We will read and think and
love-as soon as we get to it,
In consequence we live and die in
expectancy.
If we are to live at all and love and
help and study and enjoy it must be
today.
Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emper-
or, learned the secret 1880 years ago
and in his golden book has revealed
it. l know of no book. aside from the
New Testament, that is so we'll adapt
ed to the use of the average person
whose lot is hard and disappointing.
Marcus Aurelius had to do about
everything he did not want to do.
He despised pomp and circumstance,
but had to be an emperor. He loved
study and had to spend much of his
life at the head Of an army.
Nevertheless he discovered how to
live every day so as to get something
out Of that day.
He was never so tired that he could
not find something worth while in the
conditions. One of his methods was
to study some person about him. Sc
lect the best Quality-never the worst
quality-and try to initiate that per
son at his best.
He never had crouch. He lived
every day as if it were the only day.
Let us also live today.
Today You can get little reading
a little exercise, little DIVERSION Il
little love (do not economic on the
love- and little inspiration.
Count that day lost whose low de
scending sun has brought you neither
JOY nor sympathy nor entertainment
nor betterment.

plitied when you work on it by the
day.
