citizens who employed negroes and
were interested in their welfare
here then posted warnings against

they were threatened with prosecu.
tion if they attempted to run the
negroes out of the city. The threats
did not have much effect, however,
as the whites continued to tcrrorize
the negroes and the few local officers
did not feel that they could success
fully cope with the large crowd of
armed men.
The negroes began to leave the
city and fear that a race riot might
result caused several of the leading
citizens of Walnut Ridge to appeal
to Governor George w. Donaghey
to send a company of state militia
to the scene. This, Governor Don
aghey Immediately did, and Captain
S. A. Spades with a company of
militia from Black Rock came here.
Since the arrival of the militia
there have been no further demon

working since the trouble and Sheriff
Coffman appointed several deputy
sheriffs today, as further arrests are
expected.

DEMOCRAT CALLS
SOCIALISTS HAND

Thos. L. Boule, Socialist, ad-
dressed large crowd of farmers
and business men on the public
square Monday afternoon. His
subject was Socialism made
PLAIN" His address, while very
good from the Socialistic stand
point, was not made very plain or
satisfactory to all his hearers by any
means, and he was promptly chal-
lenged by Atty. w. A. Jackson to
debate certain points of his politi-
cal doctrine. The challenge was
accepted and at s O'Clock Monday
night quite a crowd assembled at
the court house to see the fur fly,
and the fur did fly, thick and fast,
for about an hour and half.
John L. Fry was selected as
moderator for the contestants and
The subject, "Resolved that Social
ism stands for the best interests of
the common people," was affirmed
by Mr.. Boule, in a forty-mlnute
speech-that is, the question was
supposed to have been affirmed by
him, but it is the general opinion
that he failed to discuss the subject,
but took up the time cussing and
discussing Mr.. Jackson and the
Dempcratic and Republican parties.
He a good speaker and was well
supplied with plenty of quick wit
which be lnterspersed with his
other remarks producing a very
amusing entertain nent. Mr.. Jack.
son followed with a ffty.mInute
speech trying to reply to the prop
osition which Bouie had attempted
to lay down, but gave 1t up as a
bad Job when he found there was
nothing to reply to and took up his
allotted time in following his pre-
decessor with amusing personalities
and anecdotes.
The very best of humor prevailed
throughout the evening and we
have aeard of no Democrats turning
Socialists, nor Socialists turning
Democrats on account Of the said
debate. The real issues were not
discussed and if any persons went
there for the purpose of being en-
lightened on the issues they were
certainly disappointed.
