Sells Store At Jelks.

The store building and stock of the Baxter Slave Go. of Jelks was sold Monday by MT. J. B. Baxter to a MT. Scott of Mem phis who will not take possession until April, 1st. MT. Baxter who has managed the business for the company will move his family back to Lima, Ohio, because of his health and real estate hold ings there. The company will continue the operation of it's mill at Jelks which was not included in the sale of the store.
 MT. l.. c. Baxter will continue to remain in charge of the slave mill and his brother retains his interests in the same. MT. and Mrs. Baxter and their refined daughter, Miss Bernice, and bright little son, Master David, have made many friends here who regret to learn of their con- templated change. We are al- ways glad to welcome citizens of their class to our town and hope to some day again claim them as our neighbors.

Confederate Veterans

Chickens will come home to roost. Dr. Brough, although his mother was the daughter of a prominent Confederate veteran, was criticized by one of his op- ponents, because his father was a Pennsylvanian, as though 1t affected his qualification to hold the office of Governor. Now it has been discovered that the mother of this candidate was born in Indiana and was the daughter of Union soldier. It does not affect his qualification, but it serves as boomerang, and makes all more pertinent, the old ad- age Look before you leap." ;"
 There was never a more ardent sympathizer with the Confederate Veteran in Arkansas than Dr. Brough, and when he is elected Governor, they will be we'll cared for. Dr. Brough has for num- Der of years been one of the chief orators at Confederate reunions over the state and the veterans were always pleased with him, because they knew it was truth, and not political promises he was giving them.

Benton, Ark, Feb. "A. Saline Lodge, No. 174 I. O. o. F., has closed negotiations with the Grand Lodge A. o. U. w. at Little Rock, for a loan of $5, 900 to finish the payments on the new lodge hall that has been erected. It is a handsome brick building, of two stories, with stores on the first floor.
 If I am elected your govern or, the peoples books, your books, in every department of this great state, through which one cent of your money is handled, will be subjected to your inspection or to the inspection of any commit tee of your chosen representa- tives," is the way Dr. c. H. Brough comes right to the front and promises the people that their affairs will be investigated, and properly attended to.
 There is such a difference in campaigns being waged over Arkansas today. One candidate is hammering away on Dr. Brough, expecting the people to put him in office because of his very great ability as a manufac- turer of fabrications with which to charge his opponent. He has nothing to tell the people about his platform, only varying the monotony of his speech with songs and frothy bits of humor. This candidate is losing ground every day, while Dr. Brough, sticking closely to records, and to telling the people what he will do for them when he becomes governor, is reaping the harvest. The Brough landslide has gotten we'll under Way, and will gain momentum every day until the primaries.

Dr. Brough is man of principle, and he has paid his taxes because he considers it the act of a good citizen, and not be- cause he had political preferment in view. Those who know Dr. Brough do not even consider the senseless charges of political gangsters, and the people of Arkansas will not approve of the methods of these aforesaid poli- ticians in the primary in March.
 Little Rock, Feb. "A. -Arkan- sas rivers have fared very well at the hands of the Rivers and Harbors Committee, in contra diction to the usual course, which has been to reduce the Arkansas appropriations to min imum. This time, however, the Committee, almost ignored the Engineers, who practically rec commended the abandonment of the Arkansas river improve ments. Among the items agreed upon were: Arkansas river $2O9, 900, Ouachita $474, 900, White $3O, 800, St. Francis and L'Anguille $9, 500, Cache $3, 900. The Engineers had recommended $35, ,000 for Arkansas and $5, GOO for the White.
 Let Arkansas Grow Her Gov ernors' is an appeal to prejudice, and an effort to draw attention from lack of qualifications. Ark ansas has thousands of men who would grace the office of govern or, and who would attract favor able comment from the outside, but they are men of such calibre that they would not have to send out a gas cloud in order to hide their lack of ability. Arkansas has had many native governors, and many who were not. but nothing has ever been found to show that they made less compe- tent officials through the fact that they happened to be born in another state.
 The most enthusiastic club ever organized in Little Rock to fur ther the interest of a candidate for state office, is the Brough club, which came into existence last week with a membership of 600, and which will have mem bership of 5000 before the pri- maries.

The WIND FROM MAINE.

A wind that's from the rocks and sea and
scented by the pine
Sweeps through the sycamores today and
where sequoias line
The ranks of giant sentinels that guard
the western slopes,
The balsam Of this briny breeze brings
heavy hearts new hopes
The mountains and the rivers cry the
message that is Names
To men whose pride was shattered, ana
their desperation wanes;
Again their hearts are raised to look the
future in the face
For Maine has been the clarion that's
heartening race
Twas shame that sunk the souls or US to
depths we never knew
In days our flag was honored in the har-
bors where 1T few,
When nations paid US homage, for they
knew our hands were white,
Ere blood of our own countrymen had
stained them like blight.
And now again our songs we sing OF deeds
that we must do
To make the dream that passed away
come marvelously true;
For the sturdy souls that breathe the pine
have brought to life again
The faith that fills nations heart that
feels the wind from Maine.

When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec
ord of the Administration the spokes-
men Of Mr.. Wilson cry: What would
you have done?" They forget that it
is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who Is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records, instead Of crying.

forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record Of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down some bypath of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all In the effort to
change the subject.
by their fruits ye shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor Of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
Offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after he
entered Office. AS Governor, he did
not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful In his
use of words, but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician, he was not f1atterer, he
was not too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital. for the strong IT the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. wilson's spokesman seek to d.
vert attention from the attacks MI.
Hughes is making upon the record Of
the Administration by asking him,
"What would you do?" They are I'M
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling to the memory of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor Of New
York. 1t was then that he first said
public office shall not be a private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom

that makes him so different from Mr..

"HE DIDN'T DO RIGHT"
Independent Voters Turning This Con-
viction Over and Over In Their
Minds and IL Will Cost Mr..
Wilson Many q Vote.

A Democrat who never voted for a
Republican candidate for President ex-
cept in 1872, when he was forced by
the lack of Democratic nominee to
cast his ballot for Horace Greeley,
says: 81 expect to vote for Woodrow
Wilson, but l don't like his course in
the railroad dispute. He didn't do
right"
The railroad controversy has intro
duced moral issue into the campaign.
Mr.. Wilson sacrificed principle to e1-
pediency, or what he judges to be ex-
pediency, when he tamely surrendered
to the demands of the train-service
brotherhoods.
He put his own personal and party
need before the public good. He angl-
ed for votes. He aimed body blow
at the tried and tested arbitration
method of settling differences.
God help you; cannot" he is said
to have exclaimed to the railroad man.

as their employees. But he could have
helped them If he had stood impartial
ly between them and the utterly reck-
less train-service representatives who
were bent on their rule-or-ruin pro-
gramme.
HE didn't do right" The conscious
ness Of that fact is sinking deep into
the American mind.
HE didn't do right" That wide
spread conviction will cost him thou
sands Of votes on election day.
"He didn't do right" He preferred
the weak, the timid attitude of the
born compromises.
The American people like courage.
They like convictions. They like a
man who has the courage Of his con-
victions. They like a man who is
willing to risk consequences for the
sake Of just cause.
1t was an unjust cause in which
Woodrow Wilson enlisted when he ac-
cepted the brotherhood view that the
chief item in their demands could not
be arbitrated.-PrOviden Journal.

sagacity Of Josephus Daniels? Then,
why let him handle the millions that

Judging by the signs Of War Depart

cunningly arranging to bring the

them to vote for Mr.. Hughes.
A train of thought on a one-track
mind has to be composed of shuttle

was explaining that hard times were
psychological, but he isn't trying to
squirm out of responsibility for the
