POMP''BROWN
JUROR SPEAKS.;
dormer Follower of Gov. Davis
Gives Facts In Pomp Brown
Pardon Case.
Editor Arkansas Democrat:
I was recently shown a clip
>ing from the Russellville Record,
i newspaper published at the
’ormer home of Jeff Davis, stat
ng that a friend of Davis who
ittended the speaking of the
candidates for governor at Mor
dlton had said that the girl (Ar
kie McCulloch) who was alleged
to have been assaulted by Pomp
Brown, the negro, had a bad
reputation and her father a worse
one. I live in a remote part of
Conway county, some twenty
miles from the scene of this un
happy affair, and do not know
Arkie McCulloch personally, but
do know that I was one of the
jurors that tried Pomp Brown,
and that the affidavit made by
Arkie McCulloch and read the
day of the speaking was substan
tially what she swore to in the
trial, and that her reputation was
not called into question in the
trial, nor was it mentioned the
day of the speaking. I was pres
ent and heard Judge Wallace’s
denial that the affidavit was the
evidence before the court, when
he was confronted by myself
ana omer jururs, men anu mcie,
with the statement that her affi
davit was what she swore to on
the stand.
I am at loss to conceive how
any man or set of men, to fur
ther the ends of a candidate,
could so shamefully call into
question the character of any
woman, without the slightest
proof, and particularly this
crushed and humiliated woman
who was dragged into court and'
forced to face the world and de
tail the acts of this black fiend.
All over the state I am advised
that the henchmen of Davis are
justifying this act in granting
pardon on the ground that she
was not a good woman.
Why do they not go to the
town of Plummendlle wThere she
was raised and resided until re
cently and procure affidavits in
proof of their slanderous lies?
They dare not try it and prefer,
like their illustrious leader, to
conduct a campaign freighted
with lies and infamy. I was
once a follower of Davis and had
some confidence in his claims of
being the poor man’s friend, but
I now' view him in his proper
light, a blatant demagogue, and
I am glad to say that there are
others of my former brothers
who are coming to the same con
clusion and predict that on the
26th of March the one-gallus and
patch-breeches fellows, which
Jeff so familiarly calls us, will
demonstrate to the world that we
are lovers of the purity of our
homes and women.
Yours respectfully,
J V MrT.u?™

about the World’s Fair, to be!
held in St. Louis from April 30
to December 1,1904.
You will be interested in and
kept well informed by the farm

the paper, prepared especially
for the farmer and his family.
You will want to know what
the world is doing in every field
of activity, and through the un

vice of the twice-a-week Repub
lic you will not be disappointed.

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and toned
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. All
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose,
been discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger
and the food-provider of every cell of the body.
It is as important that the worn-out particles and impurities of the blood
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the presence
of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them.
For over 40 years Johnston’sTonicCapsules have been heldin hignesteem
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema,
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy,
boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and
a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer;
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
our risk and be your own iudge. Michiean Drug Co.. Detroit. Mich.
