THE EXPECTED HAPPENS.

After having refused to make an investigation of the self-evldent frauds in Poinsett county, the State Democratic Central Committee has declared Senator Clarke the nominee of the party to succeed himself. This action was foreseen by everyone, as the committee is the same one which threw out the Brundidge contest and declared Judge Hays the nominee last summer.
 Of course, the farciful pretense of an examination of the Poinsett re- turns will not deceive anyone. In the two weeks that elapsed between the ranvass and the committee meeting, Clyde Going and his gang could have made up set of returns-or a dozen of them, if necessary-that would have defed the inspection of the best detectives. And when inspected by a subcommittee stacked with Clarke men. certainly the returns looked reg ular.
 The committee refused to allow a comparison of the names registered on Going's handmade poll books with the list of those entitled to vote in Poinsett county. They would not even ask Going to explain how he could legally cast 529 more votes than there were poll tax payers in the county. They would not ask him why he listed on the poll books names numbering in some cases more than three times the adult male population of the town ship, as shown by the census figures.
 Prating about wanting thorough investigation" Clarke personally took charge of the committee and shut off every possibility of an investigation. He admitted that he had contract" with Going as to the size of the ma iority he was to get in Poinsett coun- ty, and that when the first returns showed a smaller majority than he had contracted for, he telephoned Go ing, who told him there was "mis- take7 in the first figures
 In fact, Clarke showed through the entire proceedings that he was per fectly willing to steal the nomination and through a committee dominated by him he succeeded in holding his stolen goods-at least until the meet ing of the state convention.

MISS DUNAWAY WINS
 PRAISE AT BIRMINGHAM

Appearing as feature of the lead ing lyceum course of the United States, Miss Hettie Jane Dunaway of Conway scored a decided success at Wesleyan College, an exclusive insti- tuion for girls, at Macon, Ga, few days ago. Of her reading the Macon Telegraph said in part:
 "Of course, you have read The Lady of the Decoration
 Miss Dunaway, last evening, in the Lyceum course, gave the story of The Lady in the most fascinating way inn aginable. She first came as the Sol. dier Girl and gave the first letter. All of her home-sickness- and all of her bright. happy moments, Miss Duna- way brought out before her audience having them doubled with laughter one minute and furtively wiping away tears the next. Miss Dunaway is not only exceedingly clever, but has the most charming, irrisistible little giggle ever heard in feminine make up. Miss Dunaway drew the third largest audience of the entire lyceum course this year in Macon. She was topped only by Senator LaFollette and the famous Kinsel Quartette.
 Miss Dunaway closes her season in the south at Atlanta Monday and will then return to Boston for the sum- | p1ar

 As to what action will be taken by the state convention, no one can pre- dict with certainty. But this is sure, that if the Democratic party in this state continues to treat as innocent deceptions" such fragrant ballot out rages as occurred in Poinsett county last March and in Phillips county last June, there will come day of reckon ing.

IS A GOOD PRINTER AS
 WELL AS GOOD JUDGE
SELLERS HELPS OUT DARDANELLE PAPER
 AT PRESS TIME.

On the theory that it is better late than never, the P-D. wishes to ac- knowledge a pleasant call and extend thanks for a service rendered us by the popular and learned chancellor of this district, Hon. Jordan Sellers of Morrilton.
 On the occasion of holding an ad- journed term of chancery court here some weeks ago, Chancellor Sellers called at the P-D. office. It was the hour of going to press, and all hands were busy on the last batch of ''copy."
 The judge grasped the situation at a glance. The analytic mind and quick and accurate discernment which makes him so valuable on the bench, very promptly revealed to him the predicament, and his cordial saluta- tion had scarcely received a response ere he doffed his judicial dignity and his coat, called for a "stick" and a take" and when "30' was in he had up very creditable "string'-for his honor is a master of the tart preser- vative," as well as of the intricacies of Blackstone.
 Judge Sellers is now serving his first term as chancellor of this dis trict. He is man peculiarly fitted by temperament and learning for the important office he occupies, and his decisions have not only been upheld by the higher courts, but their appar-

IN PROGRESSIVE CLEBURNE.

We believe that many of the farm CTS throughout Cleburne county are taking more or less interest in the weekly letters from John H. Page, commissioner of agriculture, on sci entifc methods of farming and dem- onstration work on the farm. If the methods put forth can be used suc- cessfully in this section there is no doubt but that he will wield a great influence on the agricultural develop ment of this county. Farmers gen erally are carrying out, as far as pos sible, the better part of of the sug- gestions offered by Commissioner Page, while there are a few who argue that scientific methods cannot be used to an advantage in this county.
 There are great possibilities for the farmers of Cleburne county if they follow closely the instructions of our special county demonstration agent, Dr. E. E. Parsons, who has been with us now his second year and who is doing some mighty good work for Cleburne county-Heber Springs Jacksonian.

"A FAIR ANALYSIS"

A fair analysis of the Poinsett coun- ty election situation Is that the polltl- clans believed that the election would be a close one, and they believed that there would be Judging" on the part of the other side if in the final results a few votes would change the result of the senatorial nomination.
 Poinsett, it seems, figured on play ing joke on the ''Other side. and left a memorandum of the election re- turn of that county which was not correct one. This memorandum was to be sent out as the official return through the press. It was misleading. 1t showed Kirby had more votes than he had, and that Clarke had less votes than he had,
 The closing hour of the time within which to make official returns came, and Poinsett then came out of the bag with correct tabulation of it's vote. Senator Clarke was the winner.
 There might have been deception, and was deception, but the state cen tral committee, after thorough probe. declares there was no fraud. Therefore there is no longer any doubt but that Senator Clarke was the win ner in the primary. There is in the ranks of some partisans a prophecy that the Democratic State Convention at Pine Bluff next June will undo the work of the state committee. We do not believe the. delegates to the State convention will do any such thing Hot Springs Sentinel-Record.
 We believe the people of Arkansas consider it something more than an in- nocent joke or harmless deception for a United States senator to rob his opponent of a nomination by such means as were adopted in Poinsett county. It matters not how angelic the work of Clyde Going appeared to the state committee, the people cannot get away from the belief that where county cast 529 more votes than it contained voters something was wrong.
 In another editorial the Sentinel Record says that the nomination of Clarke by 213 votes makes it ''just as certain as if it had been unanimous v And the Sentinel-Record might have said that if this 213 majority came about by the theft of 400 votes in Poinsett county, the crime is just as

TIME FOR TAX PAYING
 IN CLEBURNE EXTENDED

Through the efforts of Sheriff J. R. Wallace proclamation has been made by Gov George w. Hays extending the limit on tax paying time in Gle burne county until April 25, which will be a great benefit to the people of this section who have not been able to get around to this important bus mess yet this year.
 Up to this date there have only been about 5000 tax receipts made and the total made last year was about $500, which would mean that there are fully 600 persons in the county yet to pay.
 It is hoped that those who nave not paid will try to attend to it before the 25.-Heber Springs Jacksonian.

ent impartiality and fairness, their strict conformity to the clear-stralned letter of the law have won for him the respect and confidence alike of bar risters and litigants.
 Though man of singularly pleas ing personality, Judge Sellers is an official whom friendships cannot infiu- ence, nor political prejudices sway, and his popularity throughout his district is only exceeded by the high regard in which he is held in the P-D. office.-Dardanelle Post-Dispatch.

HENDERSON WINS
 SATURDAY CAME

From Mondays Daily
 In a loosely-played but interesting game Saturday afternoon Henderson defeated Hendrix, to 8, breaking even on the series between the Bull dogs and the Reddies. The contest was featured by three home runs. Bradley and Turner of the visitors and McQuistion of Hendrix each rap ping the ball over the left field fence.
 Each team had on it's batting clothes and eacn one chased the op- posing pitcher out of the box. In the fourth inning the visitors got to Reed for four hits, which with two errors, netted four runs, and Coach Head rick called Owen to the rescue. The latter did we'll until the seventh, when series of errors put him in a hole and three runs were scored after the side should have been retired.
 A batting rally by Hendrix in the sixth caused Coach Maulding to send Kent to the bench, replacing him with Muller.

REVIVAL MEETING
TO CLOSE TONIGHT
"Wouldst Thou Be Made Whoe?" the
Subject Last Night.

Tonight will mark the close of the
revival meeting at the First Christian
Church being held by the pastor, Rev.
James n. Thomas. and the singer, Mr.
A. NJ. Hill of Fort Worth. assisted by
Mrs. Hill. The meeting began Sunday
April ). Services have only been held
at night, excepting the two Sunday
mornings.
Last nights meeting was one of the
best from the viewpoints of song, SER
mon and attendance. The pastor
preached on the subject, "Wouldst
Thou Be Made Whole"
THE Wilderness of physical, intellec-
tual and spiritual life is acquired only
through the willingness of the person
seeking Wilderness" said Rev. Mr.
Thomas. I'VE are living in the age
of the worlds greatest achievements
in medical and surgical science. Doc
tors, physicians and specialists adver-
tise their cures for physical ailments
cleansing of the human system-but
they can do nothing except the afflict-
ed come to them of their own free
will and say, I want to be made whole
physically
THE world has never seen the day
before when educational institutions
were so strong and so numerous. We
are living in the age of the worlds
greatest intellectual attachments. But
the pupil must be willing to come and
feast at the fountain of knowledge be-
| fore he can be intellectually whole.
The reason men are in sin is be.
cause they have a will that is corrupt
ed. They have not willed to come to
God, but have willed to turn away
from Him, forsaking His ways. Jeru-
salem would not he righteous. Jeru-
salem fell. Being made whole means
to the individual the coming into his
! life of the Christ and the going out
of his life the unwillingness of right
eous living. Being made whole means
a renewal of life-a cleansing within.
Not only are you born into the king
dom of God, but you acquire the whole
ness of life in Jesus Christ to mount
| up to His life and attain to the full
grown man.
DO you want him to cleanse you
| from all sin? He does.

WARNING TO TEXAS
ABOUT SMALLPOX
State Board Of Health Makes sugges.
tons for Prevention of Epi.
demic of Disease.

Austin, Tex, April 1.-THE State
Board of Health yesterday issued the
following statement and warning with
reference TO the smallpox scare in the
State:
mo other disease reflects more dis
credit upon community nor is a
greater menace than smallpox. 1t is
one of the few diseases which science
has made possible of total eradication.
There continues in Texas large
numbers of cases of this disease.
Texas, particularly at present, has
large floating population and our init
mate relations with these strangers
make it imperative that we should pro-
tect ourselves against the ravages OF
contagious diseases. We can abso-
lutely protect ourselves by recent sue
cessful vaccination against smallpox.
Your cooperation is absolutely
necessary to avert an epidemic in our
State. Persons not vaccinated in the
past seven years are urgently request
ed to take advantage of this protec-
ton. Servants, especially colored and
Mexican, should not be employed I'M
less previously vaccinated. Business
houses may prevent serious interior
ence with their work by requiring a
certificate of recent vaccination from
every employee.
Every unvaccinated person invites
infection from this dreaded disease,
and is a menace to those with whom
he or she associates.
This department is advised of
recent occurrence where the father of
a family thought it mot worth while
to be vaccinated. The mother took
their child to a physician and had him
vaccinated. The same day the father
contracted smallpox. Twelve days
later he had 1873 smallpox pustules
on his face alone-the child on the
same day had one vaccination scar.
The case of smallpox cost the father
s325-the vaccination cost 81. Which
do you choose-smallpoX or VAGINA
