President Wilson Says Arkansans AL
 ways Supported Administration

A letter from President Woodrow Wilson addressed to John P. Stafford editor of the Springdale News, rela- tive to Senator James P. Clarke's at titude toward the administration was made public yesterday. The letter was as follows:
 White House, Washington, Febru- ary Is, 1914.
 My Dear Mr. Stafford:
 Ut is with pleasure I answer your inquiry with reference to the attitude maintained by Senator James P. Clarke toward the administration Senator Clarke has invariably sup ported the administration in a most generous way, and with his character istic energy and intelligence.
 q do not feel that it is the privi- lege of the president to intervene as between Democrats in contests for seats in either house of Congress, but I should be ashamed of myself if l did not speak with a most cordial empha- sis of the support Senator Clarke has given.
 Cordially and sincerely yours,
 "Woodrow Wilson"

and II. H. Mobley secretary
The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. S. NJ. Walker.
Secretary Mobley read the min
utes of the last meeting. The
roll call, at this meeting de-
veloped the fact that 25 per cent
more were present at the meet
ing than at the last. State
chairman Tolbert delivered an
address that evoked considera-

which followed the speakers de-
clared it to be manly, courage
Gus, inspiring and tending to ac-
complish much good. Some of
the speeches were very thought
full and suggestive.
The prediction was made that
the elements constituting the
democratic party were so discor-
dant and out of harmony, that
division or disintegration must
eventually take place. Among
the other things done was a res
olution thanking chairman J. w.
Tolbert for his manly and in

1:affnfartn: Nov some one may
say that the above statement is
both irregular and extravagant
and void of proofs; we'll, we will
ask our witnesses a few ques-
tlons. How many dispensaries
have you in Orangeburg County?
Nine. How long have they been
running? About six or seven
months. Amount of sales? $12O-
O00.00. Of this amount about
how much was spent by colored
people who use ''booze"? About
two thirds -$S0,000 90. Come
down; that will do. Orangeburg
County with the exception of five
or SIX counties, is the largest in
South Carolina and has but nine
dlspensaries, the same being ac-
cessible to abont two thirds of
the (Negro) drinking population
OF the county, which according
to the estimate above given spent
IN six or seven months for whis
key $50, 900! Now we have one
third of the drinking population
(Negro) who is without his
'booze,' give him the same op-
portunity as the others have and
he will spend in the same length
of time $40. 900 for whiskey which
when added to $4,000 will give
you $120, 100000 he spends for
Whiskev in six or seven months.
Now the above figures simply
represent the actual cost of the
whiskey: but we must consider
subsequent results. He gets
drunk whips his wife, and is
arrested by the police, and fined
in mayors court $10-$15-$25
or sent to the gang neglect a

his horse to death, damages his
