MANNING SERVES
NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL.
Clarendon Politician Proves An Early
Quitter in Gubernatorial Fight
People Want Test Between
Wood and Davis.
Clarendon, July 14.—At 11 o’clock
today Hon. M. J. Manning telephoned
to Governor Davis at Little Rock and
wired Judge Wood and Mr. Vande
venter that he had withdrawn as a
candidate for governor.
In an interview later Mr. Manning
stated in answer to an inquiry as to
his reasons for withdrawing that he
deemed it proper because the cam
paign promised to be so extensive as
to render it impossible for him to give
the necessary time to it. He further
said that there appeared to be a popu
lar demand or H jire to have Gov.
Davis and Judge Wood test their
strength before the people.
“While I am not unwilling to meet
them or either of them in the con
test,” said Mr. Manning, “I prefer not
to engage in such an unpleasant cam
paign as this must of necessity be
come. I am deeply grateful to my
friends in all parts of the state for
their pledges of support and interest
in my cause, but I prefer rather to re
main at home than give the time to
the canvass at the sacrifice of my
private business interests.”
Much disappointment is felt by Mr.
Manning’s friends here because of hie
withdrawal, though all are aware that
it would entail no little loss on hie
part, not only of his large law prac
tice, but to extensive real estate in
terests.

GOVERNOR’S COMMISSION
FILE BRIEF DEMURRER
—
In the case of the State of Arkansas
vs. Thomas Cox et al. the defendants
Tuesday filed a demurrer before tht
sbcond division of the cijeuit court.
This suit was brought by Attorney
General Murphy against Thomas Cox,
Ham Brawley, George R. Haynie,
Hugh Corry and Charles Wilmans,
who constitute the “e'overnor’s cani
tol commission,” and were appointed
by him in opposition to the commis
sion named by tire legislature, the
latter body being now in charge oi
the construction of the new capitol
building.
In this suit the defendants are re
quired to be present and show to. the
court by what authority they act as a
capitol commission. The demurrer
filed by them Tuesday is very brief.
It demurs to the suit on the ground
that the plaintiffs have not set out
sufficient cause of action.
The argument on the demurrer will
probably not be heard until the next
term of court, which begins Septem
ber 28.

PHILIPPINE VETERANS
HOME ON FURLOUGH.
Beebe, July 14.—Wat Torrence and
Torn Baber are here on a brief leave
from their company of United States
artillery located at present at Fort
Moultrie. This is their first trip home
since they went to the Philippines
two and a half years ago. They were
transferred from the infantry to the
artillery while on the islands. They
were not at Manila all the time, bul
spent a year in a province 300 miles
from Manila, and their stories of camp
life in that faraway world are very
interesting to both young and old
They say that the Philippine?, how
ever, arj a summer resort compared
with Fort. Moultrie.
COTTON’S RAPID GROWTH.
Crop Bulletin for Week Closed Shows
Rather General Rains Over the
State, But Moisture Still Need
ed in Some Sections.
The temperature for the week end
ing July 13 was slightly above normal,
with scattered local showers the fore
part of the week and copious to heavy
and fairly well distributed showers
the latter part, but rain is still needed
in some localities.
Cotton is still small, but is growing
rapidly; the plant is healthy and vig
orous and is taking.on form; some of
the early planted is beginning to
bloom; insects are causing very little
trouble.
Corn has made rapid progress and
is now nearly all laid by; it is healthy,
has good color and is beginning to
silk and tassel, and some of the early
planted is in the roasting-ear stage.
The harvesting of wheat and oats has
progressed under favorable weather
conditions; the yields, as a rule, will
be light. Potatoes are being harvest"
ed and good yields of excellent quality
secured. Pastures, gardens, forage
crops and berries are in good condi
tion, but apples will be a short crop
and of inferior quality; peaches are a
failure.

George Blau- J

' Governor.
Mammoth Spring, Ark., ;
George Blakely, a wealthy v» ^
farmer of this county, was shoi/°unterM
killed at Mountain Home about j \
o’clock Saturday by Herbert Gross. J I d
Mountain Home being an interior
town, information is very meager, j
but from the best information obtain- j
able the killing was on account of a j
settlement of a mortgage held by Mr. j
Blakely on Mr, Gross’ estate. Gross
surrendered immediately to the
sheriff.
SWIFTON’S BIG SAW-MILL.
Mr. Bert Hart, one of the most
prominent, popular and enterprising
citizens of Dardanelle, Yell county,
Arkansas, is visiting Swifton, his ob-’s^
ject being to improve his large plan
tation near by. At least ten thousand
dollars will change hands in a very
short time, and in a few days one of
the largest saw-mills in the state will
be in position, in charge of the veteran
saw-mill man, G. L. Cravens, who has
the reputation of being the best mill
manager in the state.
LITTLE ROCK SEEKING
TO ENJOIN EIGHTH WARD.
The injunction proceedings in which
the counsel for the city of Little. Rock
is seeking to prevent the citizens of
North Little Rock from holding the
election on July 21 for the separation
of the Eighth ward from the city came
up Tuesday morning before Chancel
lor Hart. The city was represented
by City Attorney Ashley Cockrill, W.
L. Terry and Morris M. Cohn, and the
defendant counsel is composed of W.
E. Hemingway, Jno. W. Blackwood
and Senator James P. Clarke. The
supreme court room is being used for
the arguments. The counsel for the
defense filed a demurrer, in which
they stated that the facts presented
in the petition of the city’s attorneys
do not warrant any action by the
chancellor.
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Anderson leave
Thursday tor a long visit at Northern
points, first to Butler, Indiana, where
they will visit the latter’s sisters, then
to Wauseon, Ohio, Mr. Anderson’s
old home and lastly to Put-in-Bay.
They will be absent the remainder of
the Summer.
The very finest oak, gum and cy
press timber abound in abundance on
Mr. Hart’s estate and a ready market
is awaiting the output of this mill.
Ties are being cut for the trackage
necessary to handle the product of
this vast property. Mr. Hart is reti -
cent, in speaking of his future inten
tions, but we notice an unusual stir
and activity around SwKton since his
arrival. He has carefully selected
able assistants to look after his varied
improvements. ,
Every available man and team is
being employed and* we believe that
upwards of one hundred employes
will be found on Mr. Hart’s property
in less than thirty days, as advertise
ments for men and teams will be ;
found in the leading papers of New
port and other cities and towns of
Arkansas. Indications point to the |
erection of a large number of tene- a
ment houses for the comfort of his 1
employes, whom we think will be- II
come permanent tenants in the future, B

Headache
Facts.
i.
Headache is almost an universal ailment; 86 per cent,
have it at least occasionally.
II.
Headache could always be relieved by means of strong
opiates, but drugging a pain is not curing it.
I in.
It is now possible to cure a headache quicker than an
opiate will relieve it, and to cure harmlessly by removing
the cause.
IV.
SELLS’ HEADACHE POWDERS are a perfect rem
edy. They can’t harm. They relieve the severest head
ache in from 20 to 40 minutes. Price, 10 cents.
