DAVIS VERSUS VANDEVENTER.
Candidates for Governor Engage in
Another Characteristic Joint Dis
cussion at Traskwood.
Traskwood, July 23.—Gov. Davis
and A. F. Vandeventer spoke here to
night. They arrived on the evening
train from Little Rock.
Gov. Davis opened the debate at
8:30 and thanked the people for their
kindness in the past and then out
lined his policy as to the trusts and
referred to his suing the trusts while
attorney general. He illustrated the
trusts by saying it was equal to al
lowing one merchant to run up the
prices in Traskwood. He handled che
supreme court in strong terms and
their decision. He referred to Mr.
Vandeventer carrying one county and
thinking he was running again.
The governor assured the audience
that he would not quit politics until
the people of the state got an anti
trust law. The fire insurance and the
life insurance money sent out of the
state each year, he said, would feed
every person in the state and this
business, he said, was one of the big
gest trusts in the world. Three lead
ing insurance men left the state while
the anti-trust bill was hanging fire, he
said, and on their return they brought
about a change. He then referred to
Representative Whitthorne of this
county, rating with the trusts, and
being “as busy as a cranberry mer
chant.”
The governor made the usual re
marks regarding his impeachment.
He said also that the ambulance had
started early, and that Judge Wood
was in bed sick. He thought Judge
Wood would be out of the race in two
w'eeks. The governor also attacked
Judge Merriman, saying he was
turned out of the Yankee army for
immorality.
Gov. Davis wanted the Gazette to
print, that he said he would have been
murdered in the committee room
when the investigation was going on
if there had been the least rupture
during the investigation.
He reviewed the investigation pro
ceedings and referred to what false
hoods had been published in the
| uowspapvfB.
He was frequently applauded.
Mr. Vandeventer then spoke. He
! said he was a live corpse and the
livest that he (Davis) ever saw. Gov
Davis, who was leaving the room,
turned and said: “Yes, that was
what you told me three years ago.”
Davis had said that he (Vandeven
ter) would not carry the town of Mor
rilton and told anyone who doubted it
to write Sheriff White or Rev. F. E.
Wiley. Mr. Vandeventer spoke of
the raising th9 taxes of the railroads.
He spoke of the testimony of Col.
’ Monroe and the evidence he gave in
raising the taxes of the railroads.
Gov. Davis used six hundred words
about the beer inspectors of the state,
and didn’t say one word about the
free schools of the state. If he (Van
deventer) was elected governor he
would pay more attention to the pub
lic schools of the state, and not take
up as much time as the governor did
about the grade of beer the people
used. He ridiculed the governor,
while be referred to what he had
done and what he had not done. Some
one yelled “Hurrah for Davis.”
“What has that fellow been par
doned for?” asked Mr. Vandeventer.
Gov. Davis had said Mr. Vandeven
ter ought to go out and get him a lot
of invitations. Mr. Vandeventer
called half a dozen or more places
where he had been invited and two
places in Conway county. He ex
hibited a large circular advertising
his appointments where he stumped
the state of Illinois for Bryan. He
referred to the five new chancery
judges in the state and about $21,000
being paid out by the state for them.
He discussed the governor’s record
for some time and spoke about Davis
going to Washington July 5th and
drawing one hundred dollars from the
contingent fund to go on.
Mr. Vandeventer goes to Perry ville
tomorrow and Gov. Davis said he
would go if he could gef off.
A large crowd greeted the speakers
and a number of the voters were
from Grant county.

NEGRO ROUSTABOUT
SECURES FINAL JUDGMENT
In the United States circuit court
Friday a judgment for #400 against
the Memphis and Newport Packet
Company was satisfied in full, the
money being paid into court. The
judgment was rendered in the case of j
Albert J. Hill vs. the Memphis and
Newport Packet Company.
Hill was a negro roustabout em
ployed on the Orlando, a boat owned
by this company. While on a trip up
White river to Newport during Janu
ary, 1901, the negro was struck with a
wagon spoke by George Wright, the
second mate of the Orlando, and had
his arm broken. Wright was prose
cuted under the criminal law and was
given a term in the penitentiary. A
civil suit was then instituted against
the company for #5,000 damages. The
case came to trial in the federal courts,
as they have jurisdiction in all mat
ters affecting the admiralty law, and
Hill was given a verdict of #400. The
case was taken to the United States
court of appeals at St. Louis, where
the decision of the lower courts was
affirmed.

by the sudden death of her brother
John May, from indigestion, eighteen
years of age and the son of George
May, a prominent farmer of that sec

The Village Creek and Running
Water Drainage commission met in
Walnut Ridge last week and organized
the board by the election of 8. O.
Dowell of Lawrence, president; C. W.
Mays of Randolph, secretary; C. H.
Wilmans of Jackson, treasurer. H.
L. Ponder was chosen attorney for the
board and he was instructed to bring
suit to confirm titles to lands along
the route. The commission will at
once make a description of the route.
This drainage bill was drawn by H. L.
Ponder and was introduced by Repre
sentative T. W. Campbell of Ran
dolph county, and was passed by the
last legislature. The bill is a long
move in the right direction and this
dredging process will reclaim thou
sands of acres of our choicest lauds.
It will require two years’ time for the
commission to carry out the plans
they have mapped out.—Walnut
Ridge Blade.
DERAILED1 AT O’KEANE.
“News reached Poplar Bluff at 2
o’clock Friday afternoon,” says the
Citizen, “that No. 4 had left the track
at O’Keane, Ark., this side of Hoxie.
Particulars of the accident, further
than that no one was injured, are not
forthcoming.
“It will probably be late in the even
ing before the delayed train can get
in. The relay engine, which was
waiting to take the train on to St.
Louis, was returned to the round
house, so that it is evident the train
men do not expect No. 4 in until late
this afternoon.
A TERRIBLE TALE.
The story is going the rounds that
you can get everything nice to eat at
“The Little Bakery on the Corner”
and that everything is fresh and clean,
too. 48 dtf

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.
III.
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
j ache in from 20 to 40 minutes. Price, 10 cents.
