THE spectacle of an old Con- federate Veteran running for Governor of the State of Ark ansas on the Bull Moose Ticket is an innovation indeed. Col. Geo. w. Murphy, Attorney-Gen- eral of the State, and known to be one of the most talented law yers in the state is the man. He picked most opportune time to "get in the game. and no doubt there will be many thousands who will believe as Col. Murphy does, i. e. that it is time tc change the kind or brand of pol itics that have been disgracing the state for the past severa years. Just whether a majority will regard the Bull Moose plar of purifying politics as the right remedy remains to be seen.

The most famous will case ever in the south that of Mrs. Caro- line Clothe, the strange old re- cluse, who died last year Tn Memphis, leaving an estate of nearly a million dollars, has been in the Memphis courts ever since her death.
 On the night of her death at her palatial old home, she was surrounded by only a couple of negroes, refusing to have a nurse and the care. which one of her means, would ordinarially have.
 When her friends and chief business adviser, MT. Bucking- ham reached her home the morning of her death. they found the house in a disordered condition, as if some one had ransacked it for loot or dishon- orable purposes. Among papers and valuables strewn over the floors and disheveled in boxes, was will, four pages of which were missing.

 Besides MT. and Mrs. Cam eron, the Brinkley Presbyterian Church Twas also remembered in the same will by Mrs. Cloth, $500 being set aside for them.
 The trial by jury which closed at Memphis Wednesday was in Judge Pittman's court to decide on whether or not the four pages, of the will nullified the instrument, and whether or not it was in reality the last will and testament of Mrs. Cloth. The verdict of the jury was to that effect and hence the various other wills proffered are thrown out of court. at least until the Supreme Court reverses the de- cision of Judge Pittman's court.

DR. l.. B. MITCHELL

Twenty years ago, the leading physician in Brinkley was Dr. L, B. Mitchell. who with his family had moved here, in 1888 from Lonoke county. Dr. Mitchell was a true type of the fine old Southern gentleman. He stood high in his profession, and had been honored by serving his county in the Legislature in the early seventies.
 Dr. Mitchell died in Nov. 1907, and left a large family, which has been an honor to his name and credit to the citizenship of our city, and the cities to which some of them removed.

Retire Special Stamps

The little red two-cent post age stamp is to be recognized as equally good on packages mailed under the parcel post rates as upon love letter. after July 1st.
 Effective July 1, the ordinary two cent stamp and the special parcel post stamp may be used interchangeably. In other words fourth class matter, now known as the parcel post, may be mailed either with the special stamps upon it or with the ordinary stamps.
 The printing of special parcel post stamps will pc discontinued and they may be used either for packages or for letters by those who have supplies on hand. They were useful in enabling the pOstoffice authorities to find out exactly the receipts from the parcel post, but were a nuisance to the public and postoffice en- pl0yees, hundreds of parcels be- ing mailed with ordinary stamps affixed which had to be returned for proper postage.
 The special ten cent registry stamps are also to be discontin- ned whenever the present sup ply is exhausted.

President not to ask Congress to pass a constitu'
tional amendment granting equal suffrage to women
What he is most interested in is clearing the
decks for action on The tariff, and while he holds
back currency topic the sufragists cannot fairly
feel that there has been discrimination against them
They turn the delay to great strategic advant-
age in the State Legislatures. What has been ac-
complished already this year proves this. Already
six States, Michigan, Montana, Nevada New Jersey,
North Dakota, and South Dakota, have voted to sub
nit the resolution to the people. In three other
States one house has acted favorably Bills reso
lutions are pending in ten more.
The more substantial Endorsement of equal suf-
frage, is evidenced by the State legislatures, the
effective argument the promoters of the cause
will have in calling on the Federal Government in
all its branches for action.
