3aid:
“Jones, I understand you are
for Bob Rogers for governor.”
“Yes, that is true,’’said Jones,
“but I am for you for senator.”
“1 don’t care a snap about the
senatorial race. What I want is
to beat Rogers for governor and
elect Little.”
“I cannot support anyone but
Bob Rogers for governor because
I know him to be a good man,”
said Constable Jones.
“If you don’t support Little I
will have to ask you to resign
your office,’’said Governor Davis.
“You have no right to ask for
rnv resignation. Governor; my
office belongs to the people who
elected me. It is true you did
appoint me- to fill out an unex
pired term of four months, but
since that time I have been elect
ed to this .office twice by the peo
ple of Big Rock township, and I
will not listen to any of your dic
tation in regard to whom I shall
support for governor.”

JURY IGNORES CHARGES.
—
Dr. Deener Again Enjoys Confidence of
Searcy People-Costs No Consid
eration in White County.
Searcy, Oct. 23—Hon. Joe W.
| House, of Little Rock, wrote his
| client, Dr. R. S. Deener, of this
; place last week, that the federal
| grand jury had ignored the
charges against Dr. Deener,
! against whom accusations were
made of an illegal use of the
mails, Dr. Deener has re-in
stated himself in this communi
ty, has a fine practice, and the
people look with disfavor upon
! any further attemts to besmirch
his character so long as he de
means himself as a good citizen.
DO NOT OBJECT TO COSTS
A communication from this
city in the Commercial Appeal
of October 18 is misleading with
reference to public opinion on
the subject of the further prose
cution of John V. Roperts.
It is stated that the peo» le are
opposeu 10 iuruiei mais un ac
count of the costs involved,
which is not true. The great
majority of the people hold that
no amount of costs would be
large enough to justify the non
enforcement of the law. They
wish to see the law vindicated,
in no vindictive spirit, but that
justice may be meted out to all
I persons accused of the commis
sion of crime.
| General Haynes’ Version.
There is probably not a
stronger old Southern rebel in
I Arkansas than Gen. Eaynes,
! who is in command of the Ar
j kansas State Guard as Gov.
j Davis’ appointee. A few days
; ago the question was asked of
| General Haynes if he knew the
: true story as to President Roose
I velt eating dinner with Booker
i T. Washington at the White
1 House in Washington. ‘Yes,’
| said General Haynes, ‘I can tell
J it to you so anybody can under
stand it. While President
! Roosevelt was at his luncheon
in his office, separate and apart
i from the residence of the fami
: ly in the White House, ’ explain
; ed the general, ‘it happened that
i during the time of the luncheon
[ Booker Washington was ushered
in and then the president direct
ed the servant to bring in a
waiter for the visitor. The pres
ident took his mid-day luncheon
' at his desk; Booker Washington
j enjoyed what was placed before
hin at the long table in the pres
ident’s office. This is all there
is to the story of President
Roosevelt dining at his private
table with Washingon,’ conclud
