ture in the coming primary stated
A. W. Estes of this city when asked
,, as to the report that he would he II.
the race for commissioner again.
II have undoubtedly had much en-
, couy agement to make the race and
many Of my friends believe | would
win the nomination without mafing
az hard race as | did before, but
, an not a candidate and shall not en-
Ter the contest for political honors o.

| shall devote my attention to nay
private business. More than this |
shall take pleasure in supporting w.
K. Surridge of Black RocA, who has
/ announced for commissioner of agri-
culture.
This statement comes in tie nature
of surprise, more or less, to those
! who have ben watching the political
i.pot and who had calculated Mr. Estes
in as one of the candidates for COM
missioner. He was candidate against
the late Fred Fl. Phillips in the last
primary, the contest being one Of the
closest for a STATE office.
This leaves two avowed candidates
ia the tield-W. K Surridge Of Blac'Z
! Rock and John H. Page Of this city,
None CT the others who has been men
tened in connection with the race for
commissioner has made public avoWal
! o. his candidacy SO far as known.
The entry Of Shrridge into the race
! for commissioner also has a material
bearing on another race-that Of rail
road commissioner. For some time
/ Mr.. Surridge had been regard d as a
candidate for railroad commissioner
! against Major Bellamy. who is serv-
] ing his first term as a member CT tie
railroad commission. This now caves
Bellamy without opposition unless
candidate develops between this and
the date for the primary.
In fact, the nearer the primary APP
proaches the less likely it APPEARS
that there will be much, if any, in
/; terast in the races for railroad COM
missioner. 1t is not certain, even.
that there will be any races" as
there is not new any avowed opposi
ton to the candidates in any of the
districts. Senator Sam Rowland OF
Harrison is candidate to succeed
Commissioner Allen, who will not ask
for reelection. Both Major Bellamy
and Commissioner Mcknight are out
for reelection, each serving his first
term.
Preparation is being made by many
local politicians to attend the politi-
cal gathering at Beebe next Wednes-
day, when Senator jeff Davis makes
what is forecasted as his set speech
, for the coming campaign between
: himself and former Congressman
Brundidge in the race for United
States senator. 1t is reported that
Brundidge has asked for a division of
time and announced that he will be
on hand when Senator Davis opens.

Ihat he was deeply In love with his

formed the habit before he met Ma gle.
and. since. as has been said. he was by
no means given to introspection. II
never occurred to him to question tho
state OF his heart. The fact that he

delight In that OF Maggie. never at
tracted his attention as or Vital sig
n~incance. His stupidity was ex-
traordlnary: II Ia more extraord nary
that there are 81 many men like that.
For Maggie. with her clear perceptive
powers. there woul have been less ex-
cuse. but for the extenuating circum
stances that clouded Judgment In the
nrst place. her gratitude led her to feel
subject Always to Joseph's wishes: In
the second place. the business seemed
to require their association frequently:
IN the third place, she knew that Joseph
could not fall y victim to her charms.
for he was already engaged to tho
lovel'est girl In the world whom he
loved to distraction: he had told her

There was, however. stiii another OK.
