WILL RECOGNIZE INSURGENTS.
Governor Davis Says Greaves Shall
Share In Joint Discussion of Cam
paign—Regards Insurgents as
Stronger Wing Of Party.
Gov. Jeff Davis on Friday an
nounced his intention of according
recognition to the insurgent wing of
the republican party in Arkansas in
the matter of dividing time in joint
discussions, also in the appointment
of election commissioners. The gov
ernor returned to Little Rock Friday
morning from Benton county. He
did not know that arrangements had
been made and a list of appointments
announced for joint discussions be
tween hiha and Hon. H. H. Myers,
“regular” republican nominee for
governor.
In regard to the list of appoint
ments made out by the state com
mittee and agreed upon by the re
publicans, he gave out the following
interview: “Without any intention
of criticising the action of our com
mittee, I had never intended or ex
pected that anything but a joint can
vass between Mr. Meyers, Mr.
Greaves and myself would take place.
But if I had been personally consulted
ahnnt, the matter T would have civen
Mr. Greaves recognition in the mak
ing of appointments and allowed him
to suggest dates and places as well as
Mr. Myers, as I regard the insurgents
as the stronger wing of the repub
lican party in Arkansas. In obedience
to that opinion of mine, I sent this
morning the following telegram to
Ben M. Foreman at Texarkana: ‘I
intend to stand for insurgent election
commissioners. Have just seen Ga
zette. Was not consulted as to places
of speaking. If I had been would
have recognized Greaves, not Myers.
Telegram not private.’ ”

The beautifully arranged home of
Mrs. L. Hirsch was thrown open Fri
day evening for the entertainment of
the members of the younger crowd in
Newport society.

made dancing an unusually delightful
pleasure.

Janie Stephens, Gene Bandy, Josie
Phillips, Maude Richardson, Hilda
Bailey, Della Bernstein, Claire John
son; Mesdames J. L. Sells, C. H. Nie
meyer; Messrs. T. W. Dillard, Ed

LOST POWER OF SPEECH.
“Fred H. Foster, who has been em
ployed as a laborer on the White
River railroad, in a difficulty a few
days ago at Hogan’s camp, was hit in
the head with a pick handle.” says
the Batesville Guard. “The blow
fractured his skull which caused him
to lose the faculty of speech. In other
respects Foster appeared to be but
slightly affected. He came to Bates
ville the latter part of last week for
treatment by Dr. Lawrence, who with
the assistance of Drs. Case and Ball,
performed an operation by removing
the fractured skull which was press
ing on the brain. After the opera
tion the patient partially recovered
his faculty of speech, and he may
possibly recover from what is a most
serious injury.”
CONNOLLY WILL NOT CHANGE.
The Paragould Soliphone, upon the
authority of W. A. H. McDaniel, state
agent for the Memphis Morning News,
recently announced that M. W. Con
nolly would leave the Commercial
Appeal and accept a position on the
staff of the News, which that paper
has since denied.
Relative to Connolly’s rise in journ
alism, the Soliphone says: “Mike
Connolly, who used to be express,
freight and telegraph agent at Jack
sonport, is one of the South’s greatest
writers on economic questions touch
ing the science of government and
social problems. Mike is a philoso
pher, a linguist and a scholar, and an
Irishman of broad and capacious in
tellect. His present position as ed
itorial writer on the Commercial-Ap
peal was obtained through the in
fluence of his friend Editor Jack
Reeves, of the Hardeman Free Press,
and Mr. Connolly, demonstrates his
gratitude by using the columns of the
Commercial-Appeal, on frequent and
sundry occasions to promote the wel
fare of his benefactor.”
