It is most amusing that aj
newspaper will say it shows no !
preference in a race between j
democrats, but reserves its fire ,
for the enemy, meaning the re-j
publicans. It has long been a ,
mystery to us how the republi
cans, out of office and 'way out
in the cold, were harming this
state. It has long been appar
ent to us that the political rot
tenness of Arkansas is charge
able to the party in control, of
'which party we are a member. |
The patriotism of those news
papers which wink at evil condi
tions in their own party and re- J
serve theii fire for the republi-1
cans is indeed beautiful to be- j
hold. When they go lion hunt
ing the mice had better take to
their holes.—Sharp County Re

'he gets—remember that. Here

food, especially milk.
Don’t buy food where flies are
permitted.
Don’t allow them in a sick
room.

over all exposed food.
Let cleanliness and cleanliness
and yet more cleanliness be your
motto all summer long.—Rogers

Mother and Son Bound Over.
Brinkley, June 13.—Arkansas’
higher courts must now decide
whether Mrs. Lillie Spivey
Lytfch and her son, Robert C.
Spivey, lured Mrs. Lynch’s hus
band, Robert C. Lynch, to his
death at her home near Sauls
burg on the night of Friday.
May 9. as is charged by the
state.

hearing before Justice of the
Peace J. Tomlinson, Mrs. Lynch j
and “Bob” Spivey were bound
over without bail to await the
action of the Monroe county
grand jury an v. charge of first j
degree murder. The defendants j
were returned to the county jail
at Clarendon on an af'ernoon;
train.
Today or Monday counsel for
the defense will apply to the
circuit or chancery court of this
district for bail for their clients.
Failing in this effort, thedefense j
will institute habeas corpus pro-j
ceedings, which action will be op
posed bitterly by the state.
The preliminary hearing came
to an abrupt end today when the
state rested after having exam
ined 10 witnesses during the
morning hours. This action so
early in the proceedings came
unexpectedly, since less than
one-fifth of the witnesses had
j
been examined. The defense
rested without introducing a
single witness.
“We have int'oduced enough
testimony to show thei
conspiracy between Mrs. Lynch
and her son. Robert C’. Spivey, to
take the life of Colonel Lynch.”
(}. Otis Bogle, special prosecutor
for the state, said in opening his
argument. It is now the duty of
this court to bind over the de
fendants to await the action of
the grand jury.
“The state has shown that
Bob Lynch was shot as he sat in
a chair in Mrs. Lynch’s room,
and not while he was climbing
through a window in disguise, as
these defendants swore before a
coroner’s jury. We have shown
that Bob Lynch went by appoint
ment to the home of Mrs. Lynch
and we have shown that previ
ous to that time Mrs. Lynch told
Bob Spivey to be home without
fail at 10 o’clock on the night the
murder was committed.
“With this chain of evidence
established, it is the duty of this
court to hold the defendants
without bail to await the action
of the grand jury. The state
now asks that this court perform
that duty.”
Neither Roy D. Campbell of
Cotton Plant nor John P. Lee of
Clarendon, attorneys for the de
fense, offei*ed to argue the case
after Prosecutor Bogle had fin
ished. Justice Tomlinson then
took the case under advisement
until 3 o’clock, wdien his decision
was announced.
Senator Clarke Not Satisfied.
Little Rock. June 13.—Senator
James P. Clarke, who is spending
a few days at his home in this
city, is inclined to be somewhat
dissatisfied with conditions at
Washington regarding the dis
posal of federal jobs.
“It was the custom in former
years," stated Senator Clarke,
“and is still to some extent, for
the United States senators to
have the disposal of certain of
fices, but it is not now what it
used to be. The reformers of
the administration are claiming
the right to investigate every
person recommended for ap
pointment, and they are doing
it with a vengeance which de-,
lays matters considerably."
Senator Clarke declined to dis
cuss appointments to be made
for Arkansas, saying he is only
partially responsible for them,
and they will have to be attend
ed to as vacancies occur or are
contemplated.
Senator Clarke considered the
refusal of John E. Bush to re
sign as receiver of United States
lands to be a joke on the depart
ment under which he serves, and
the action of the department in
asking for recommendations for
a successor to Guy Caron, regis
ter of United States lands, whose
term has expired, and none for
a successor to Bush to be even a
greater bit of humor.

HELPLESS AS BABY
I Down in Mind Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mis. Anna
Belle Emey, of this place, says: “I suf
fered for 15 years with an awful pain in
my right side, caused from womanly
trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with
out success. I suffered so very much,
that I became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby. I was in the worst kind
of shape. Was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By the time 1 had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored.
I am now 48 years years old, but feel a3
good as 1 did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and I feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. I wish I had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them.”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, it will certainly be
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it.
