trouble with Mr.. Ismay on the same
ground and i am sure that the doctor
will verify my statements.
Il was told on the Carpathia that Chief
officer Wilde. who was working at the
forward collapsible boat, told Mr.. Ismay
there were no more women to go. Ismay
still stood back, and Wilde, who was
! big, powerful man, bundled him into
the colapsible boat,
who told you this powerful officer,
Mr.. Wilde. ordered Mr. Ismay into the
boat?" II don't know
Senator Smith said that in precious
testimony the witness said he had not
spoken to Mr. Ismay. This Lightoller
denied. The chairman piled him with
questions.
"That is all in my previous testi-
mony," said the officer.~.'You can find

torted Senator Smith with asperity.
Your memory, however, seems to be

 Mir. Donaghey has never yet stood up like a man and denied any open charge against him, bat would go off and hatch up 3 subterfuge like the above and get up before an audience and wink and laugh and tell them how much more he does for them than his opponent.

WHEN TIE KIDNEYS FAIL
Brinkley People Have Found That HI Health
 Quickly Follows.

Do you ever feel that you sim ply can't go any further-that you must have rest from that lame and aching back relief from the constant, dead-tired feeling freedom from those stabbing, darting pains? Likely your kidneys are worn and tired ard need help. The kidneys work night and day removing uric acid from the blood and other waste created by exercise of strength and energy. Naturally a life of unusual activity doubles the duties of the kidneys and in time the strain tells. Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new strength to thousands of bad backs and quick relief to weak ened kidneys. Let them do the same for you. Convincing proof in Brinkley Testimony.
 J. NJ. Smith, Baxter & Main Sts.. Brinkley, Ark, says: l am satisfied that Doan's Kidney Pills are a remedy of merit and act just as represented. My kid neys did not do their work as they should and caused my back to become painful and lame. Doan's Kidney Pills which 1 got sas tae New Drug Store gave me Dramot relief.

Hon. Harry Harris for
 State Senate.

The announcement of Hon.. Harry Harris as a candidate for State Senate from this, the 18th Senatorial District, appears in this weeks ARGUS.
 No flowers" said Candidate, Harris as he instructed the news- paper man to put his announce mentin. "Just a straightfor- ward business notice. ]" This is characteristic;of MT. Harris, who is a Monroe County raised man. He is a plain practical young man who says that he stands for the same standard of principles as are put forward by Hon. Joe I. Robinson, candidate for Cover nor, and on the platform asks the suffrage of the people at the polls on March 27th.
 Mir. Harris favors the repeal of the Turner-Jacobson tax bill and says if elected he. will do his utmost to secure it repeal.
 MT. Harris is well known to many of the people of Monroe county and his platform is woFthy of consideration at the hands of the voters.

Clarendon. Ark, Maj. 8. 1912. Editor of Argus, !"
 Brinkley, Ark.

| Brlnkley, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 | I wish to answer a little "rot" that is now going around in the Gazette and other papers that are dominated by Donaghey's in- fluence. M .Mr. Robinson, like brave soldier and a true advocate of the people, charged MT. Dona- |ghey with failing to assess his personal property, yes, especially eighty or ninety dollars worth at one time. Has MT. Donaghey deilied this? No, not for one moment. But he gets down there in southern Arkansas, or western Arkansas. and instead of getting up before the audience and telling them that Mir. Rob- linson is mistaken, that the tax books show that he did assess the eighty thousand dollars worth of property as he should have done, what does he say? Ina stentorian voice hs says: T pay mere texAs,syes, three or live times as. much taxes as Mir. Robinson cr sil of my oppon- fedts.o'
 Then we hear the Gazette sneeze, and the little papers all through the country snicker, and we will find in their columns ev- cry week about as follows:
 Governor Donaghey pays five times as much taxes as Mir. Rob- inson, etc, etc. l"
 This is a cowardly dodge by the Governor. Yes. he, has eighty or one hundred thousand dollars worth of real estate in Little Rock, and he has thousand upon top of thousands of real es- tate in other counties. You know it is impossible for him to keep his hands off the tax books, therefore they are assessed, and if they are assessed at one-third their value, then Governor would pay five or ten times as much taxes as Mr. Robinson, because MT. Robinson is a poor man and has nothing like the immense wealth that Governor has.
 Listen, Mir, Editor! In Ark ansas, Geo. Gould pays one hun. dred times as much taxes as Mir. Robinson. Yes, others that l can name pay one hundred to one hundred fifty times as much
