LAST STRAW ON
 BACK OF CAMEL,

Lamar, Sept. 27.-Webb Gov ington, who is attorney for the United Mine Workers of District Fl, is being urged by many voters over the state by personal letters to be- come a candidate for governor. He is forceful campaigner and stump speaker, and no doubt if he gets into the race it will recall the days of Senator Jeff Davis in state politics. He has served in the house and senate and was president of the senate in 1905. He was one of Senator Joe Robinson's strong sup porters when the senate elected Robinson to the senate to succeed Senator Jeff Davis, and campaigned the state for Gov. Geo. w. Hays in his race against Congressman Ste phen Brundidge for governor.

PLTIABLE CASE OF
 NEGLECT AND DEATH

Little Rock, Sept. 21.-One child is dead, two are near deaths door, third is i'll and will be dangerous ly sick, and the mother is scarce ly able to be OR her feet, as a re- suit of one Of the worst cases of poverty, neglect, ignorance and filthiness that state and county health officials have had to deal with. Neighbors called State Humane Officer w. M. Rankin, who in turn notified Coroner M. O. Me Neil, and the two made an investi- gation following the death of the youngest child yesterday. They found a horrible state of affairs.
 The family, McGill by name, has been living for week in an old abandoned half barn, half house, in the center of what formerly was an old slaughter pen, located about half a mile southwest of the city limits. Three weeks prior to moving there the family of six lived in a "cover- ed' wagon nearby.
 The place they have been making their home is without windows and the doors might as well have been taken off for the service given: No screens, cloth or other protection are afforded against mosquitoes and flies Surrounding conditions are in keeping, and edibles, what there is in the place, were swarming with flies.
 McGill said he came to Little Rock from Springfield, Mo. He said his brother-in-law, Tom Garrett, is mayor of Olney, H. He said he had not heard from any of his relatives for a long time. The family had come across country in a one-horse covered wagon in which they had lived for weeks.

CIRCUIT JUDGES IN LITTLE ROCK
 n SEEK REELECTION IN PRIMARY

Tuesday in November, 1916. This leaves a gap of one week between the time of expiration of the terms of the judges and the date for the election. The late Attorney Gener- al Moose held that candidates for judicial positions for terms begin uing in November, 1916, must run in the general election to be held in November, 1915, and for this reason those now holding places upon the bench have decided to sub init their candidacy year ahead of time in order to be sure to re-elec- tion.
 Many able lawyers, however, con tend this ruling upon the part of the late attorney general is err roneous, that while judicial terms expire on October 31, judges, like other officials hold until their sue cessors are elected and qualified.

proceedings, alleging many illegal votes were cast for Middleton. The case was tried before Judge F. Gautney and evidence was intro- duced attacking the legality of a large number of ballots. The final decision of the court was that Hes- ter had been legally elected by sev- enteen votes. Middleton, who in the meantime had taken the oath of office and was exercising the func- tions of the position, filed an appeal and gave bond to cover the costs.
 The case has created great deal of local interest and the decision of the supreme court is awaited with more or less anxiety by friends of the litigants.

Efforts by Roumania to buy pow der in this country have failed so far, it is said, because firms ap- preached by the Roumanian gov ernment having previously receiv- ed orders for powder from France, had been obliged to pledge them selves not to supply powder to the Teutonic allies, As there has been possibility that Roumania might swing over to the Teutonic side of the war. these firms are said to have insisted that ROumania con vinced them that she had no in- tention of entering the war against the allies.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes chemical analysis
Of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease, which is really
an advanced form Of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in
1913 in the state of New York alone.
Therefore, it behooves US to pay more
attention to the health Of these most
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney REM
edy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing influence OF this
preparation in most cases is soon realized,
according TO sworn statements and verified
testimony Of those who have used the
remedy.
