MRS. DAVIS DIES SUDDENLY.
Special to the Globe.
Pulaski, Tenn, July 3.-One OF the
saddest deaths that has occurred in
Pulaski for many months was the
sudden demise of Mrs. Lula Jane
Davis. wife of Mr.. o. B. Davis, Sr
At the time of her death Mrs. Davis
was at a meeting of her society, the
Daughters of Zion, in the A. M. e.
Church. She was actively engaged
in the duties of the hour, when she
suddenly began to fail and ere she
could be removed to her home, a
block away, the spirit had taken its
fight to the Home Beyond.
Sister Davis was a noble Chris
tan woman, pious, motherly and af-
fectionate.
Mrs. Davis had been a member of
Campbell's Chapel A, M. e. Church

OIL TROUGH MAN LOSES MIND

Berry Osborn, farmer living in the Oil Trough neighborhood south of White river, became un- balanced a few days ago. He rais- ed quite a disturbance at church Monday night and is said to have made use of all the profane and obscene language in the English vocabulary. Tuesday, legal pro- cedure was taken before Squire Paisley, and Osborn was declared insane and committed to jail. He was taken to Batesville Wednes- day and placed in jail.
 Osborn is said to have been a very wicked and profane man until a short time ago, when he profess ed religion and joined the church. Shortly after joining the church he began to show symptoms of insan- ity and grew worse until he be- came uncomfortable.

either of which would be clamity to our race.
 Tt cannot be denied that a hun dred thousand negroes of voting age in Arkansas is a constant men, ace and danger, and under certain conditions they would hold the balance of power and would be factor under the leadership of dis satisfied whites in controlling our affairs, for the vote of the negro is never sought except to assist disgrunted minority of whites to control the majority. This danger IS ever with us, and almost invariably leads to one re- suit, race war, or a deadly con- f1ict between factions of which Eastern Arkansas and other South ern states have had more than one experience. In my judgment this IS of paramount importance to all others before the people, especi- ally in veiw of the fact that con- solidation of our Federal and State elections is almost assured and the defeat of this Amendment at this time would be little short of clamity. Very Respectfully.

We have been told by some that too many farmers are moving to the cities, and by others they are wasting their time riding around in automobiles. If this is true those few who remained at home and followed Ole Beck have certainly been "goin' some," for the Secre- tary of Agriculture shows that az ricultural production in the United States has doubled in the last twelve years.

Arkansas has this year collected and distributed public school fund of more than one and quar- ter million dollars, in addition to the funds collected locally by the various school districts. The pub lie schools are one of the states greatest assets, and this shows that the people are beginning to appreciate them.

 AMENDMENT NO. II
Senator Jas. T. Robertson Writes Strong Letter Urging White
 Rule in Arkansas

The Journal is in receipt of the following letter from Senator James T. Robertson of Marianna in regard to Amendment No. II known as the Grandfather Clause, which will be voted upon by the people of Arkansas next Monday:
 q wish to call attention to what is known as the Grandfather Clause,' and will show that the educational qualifications DOES NOT APPLY TO A WHITE MAN, and so far as the white man is concerned our present election laws will not be changed by the adoption of this Amendment in its application to the white voter.
 T will quote part of the propos- ed Amendment as follows. Every male citizen of the United States, or every male person who has de- clared his intention of becoming a citizen of the same, of the age of years or upward, who has resid- ed in the state x X and who is able to read and interpret, or in- terpret when read to him, if he is prevented from reading the same from some physical disability, any section of the constitution of the State of Arkansas x shall be allowed to vote at any election held in the State of Arkansas" " Then follows what is known as the Grandfather Clause. But no male person who was on January 1st, 1866, or any time pryor there to, entitled to vote under the con- stitution or statutes of any state or states in the United States, where in he then resided, and no male person of foreign birth who was naturalized prior to the adoption of this amendment and no ineal descendant of such person, who shall possess the other qualifca- tions described in this article, shall be denied the right to vote because of his inability to so read and in- terpret sections of the Constitu- ton of this State.
 Tt is clearly seen that under this Amendment no one is requir- ed to read and interpret the Con- stitution who had the right to vote previous to 1866, or a person descended from someone who was permitted to vote prior to said time, and its application is only to those who were not permitted to vote under our laws prior to 1866 and to their descendants. In other words, all white men can vote.
 There is no mistaking the fact that this IS an attempt to repeal, so far as 1t lies in the power of a state, the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal constitution, and in plain terms all negroes are denied to vote except those who are able to read and interpret our constitu- ton. This eliminates the large body of ignorant negroes, but per mits the intelligent negro to vote.
 Tt is surprising to me that any man would oppose Am endment No. II, unless he endorses the Fifteenth Amendment, which en- franchised the negroes. It is pre- sumed that we all believe in an honest election and a fair count, hence 1t wonld follow that a white man voting against this Amend ment must either believe in political equality for the negro or in con- trolling his vote by force or fraud

Itis said that there is time for all things, and we note that a good many politicians seem to think there is also a place for all things. In one community they de- clare themselves strongly for a thing, and in another community they do not mention 1t.

New York. Aug. 1O.-The cotton
market was extremely and ir-
regular today with an early rally fol
lowed by renewed weakness. and with
the close barely steady at a net de-
cline Of 7 to IL points.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of one to six points, which was
only a partial response to veal Liv-
erpool cables. and during the early
trading sold a point or two above the
closing figures Of last night on cover
ing Of shorts Over the weekend and
buying for a reaction, encouraged by
further scattering reports Of too much
rain in eastern and central belt.
Closing prices were at the lowest
point Of the day. There was a ten
dency to disregard the break in Liv-
erpoOl on the ground that it had been
caused by u~nfOunded JUNIORS Of finan-
cial troubles in the South. and the
