Washington. Mar. 10. What
promised to be the bitterest house or

today made partisan claims as to how
the body would be shaped in the com
Ing extra session. they confessed that
they will not check vital business by
political chickering's.
Republicans and democrats alike
said II Is far better to have a Goa

be done to align these men with one

today that republicans and democrats
will shape their organization course
jointly. should It seem a futile fight
to obtain this favor.
While house leaders are working
hard at the organization problem. the
senate has confirmations and the
treaty as the chief bus
iness OF the special session. Leaders
say the treaty cannot be ratified at
this time. hence It may be that the
senate will have one or two weeks
to consider the treaty before the

R. A. PARKER FOR
 SHERIFF AND COLLECTOR

In our announcement column to- day we carry the announcement oi R. A. Parker, of Lono Harrison township, as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff and Collector of Hot Spring county
 Mir Parker Is native of this county, and needs no introduction at our hands. He was born in Har- rison township, and has resided there all his life He is a life long democrat, and has never been found wanting when the honor of his party was at stake, always doing his duty in all affairs where the democracy of the county, or nation was at times involved.
 He has served as School Director of District No. Al for many years, and by his honest and upright deal ings in this office, he has won many friends, who will gladly rally to his support ill this race. He is serving his second term as Constable of Harrison township, and is said by his friends to have made an excell- ent officer, and performed his duties with credit to himself, and honor to his township, which has gained for him an experience, which would be of valuable assistance to him in the sheriff's office.
 Mir. Parker is a farmer, having been engaged in that occupation all his life, and having made a success of his own life, he feels that he can serve the people of Hot Spring coun- ty in the capacity of Sheriff and Collector in a way that will prove satisfactory to at least a large ma jority of them. He comes before the voters with only this promise, that, if elected, he will use his abil- ity and experience to fill the office in a manner that only close appli- cation to business and it's duties will give, and feeling that he can promise them a strict business and conservative administration.
 He has many friends in the coun- ty, but will endeavor, as his time will permit, to see each and every voter between now and the date of the election next Spring, and per sonally solicit their support and in- fluence.
 This paper submits the candidacy of MT. Parker to the Democracy of Hot Spring county, for their consid- eration.

The Home Guards who were re- gently reorganized had their first drill on the school ground last night. Twenty-seven members ans wered to the roll call and the mem- bers were all enthusiastic in their work. The new officers took charge with determination to whip the company into line.
 The Home Guards should be SUD- ported and fully equipped. Do you realize the helplessness of our state in case of riot or disturbances. which might occur at any time now that our State Guards have been taken into the Federal army.
 The Hot Spring County Guards need good able bodied men who will take the oath and be drilled to meet any emergency. Home Guards are being formed all over the coun- try. Shall Malvern and Hot Spring county lag behind in this move ment for the protection of our busi- ness interests and homes?

Taller Order.

Jones had been a member of the glo-
rious company of the voorhees, for
some time, so that when the offer of
work as a carter came Jones jumped
at it.
But even to be a carter requires ex-
perience, particularly In loading up,
and when one has n two-wheeled
spring cart to load 1t is better not to
put all the goods at the back. This,
however, was what Jones did, with the
consequence that when they We're GO
ing up hill the horse, unable to stand
the strain, stopped.
1t did not strike our friend that his
method at loading was at fault. He
tried vainly to induce his steed to pro-
coed, and then. noticing that the ami
mails feet only just touched the ground,
he turned and drove back at full speed
to his guv-nor.
Haven't you got a taller horse, guy
nor?" he queried, artlessly. This II
amt high enough for the work"
