Needless
Constipation.
Constipation shortens life. It kills by inches, but none
the less surely. The condition is seldom necessary; it is
due to a morbid condition of the liver that can be over
come with the proper remedy.
Sells’
Liver Pills
if persistently used, are a radical cure for constipation.
They do even more, for with the disappearance of the
chief trouble many minor ones will vanish. Complexion
will be keener, and a new supply of energy will appear.

WOOD’S BROTHER
DEFENDS SUPREME COURT.
Spirited Speeches By Gubernatorial
Candidates at Sheridan—Judge J.
B. Wood Represents His
Brother.
Sheridan, Aug. 17.—A spirited trian
gular discussion took place here to
day between Judge J. B. Wood of
Hot Springs, representing his brother,
Judge Carroll D. Wood, Gov. Davis
and Hon. A. P. Vandeventer. The
speaking followed an hour’s session of
the Grant county circuit court, Judge
A. M. Duffle presiding. Hon. Havis
Nixon was chairman of the meeting
and introduced the speakers.
Gov. Davis made the opening
speech, discussing the pardon of
Johnson of Fort Smith, and claimed
he was imposed upon and said he sent
a telegram to Representative Fuller,
telling him if he got a fee for the par
don he got it through fraud and he
would have to give up the deed.
Hon. A. F. Vandeventer was the
next speaker, and his talk was along
the lines of those previously reported.
His eloquent arraignment of Davis
was given close attention.
Judge J. B.-Wood of Hot Springs
represented ably his brother, Judge
Carroll D. Wood. He told of his
brother’s early training and about his
going to the state university, part of
the time walking, then traveling in a
chicken peddler’s wagon. He washed
dishes and hired out as janitor in or
der to cbmplete his education. Mr.
Vandeventer and Gov. Davis were
well known, and this was why he
wanted to tell who his brother was.
At this juncture Mr. Vandeventer
asked Judge Wood if he didn’t think
fifteen years of office-holding was
sufficient pay for his brother’s walk
ing to school. Judge Wood said in
reply that the people had got just re
wards while he had been in office and
that he was willing to lea-’e it to the
people, and that he had never been
defeated for any position sought for,
and that was more than could be said
of the one who had asked the ques
tion.
He dwelt for some time on the anti
trust law and the decision, and de
fended the courts in an able manner.
It was undemocratic to keep one man
in as governor all the time. There
were not five reputable lawyers in
Arkansas who would not sustain the
supreme court’s decisions on the law.
‘The law is good” scid the supreme
:ourt, and the governor brought 239
jases and the court asked the govern
>r to bring in the proof that the
rusts were engaged in regulating
jrices in Arkansas, and the governor,
hen attorney general, dismissed all
he cases and went out over the state
(enouncing the supreme court and
leceiving the people. The cases were
ill dismissed at a cost of over §1,200
o the state of Arkansas.
The governor had made the people
>elieve the law was valid, and he
Davis) posed as a friend of the peo
>le. He had denounced Judge Battle,
aying that he was president of the
ce trust.
Governor Davis—Is it not true,
udge Wood, that Judge Battle is
(resident of the ice trust?
Judge Wood—Yes, sir.
Governor Davis—Well, your case is
ut of court.
Judge Wood—Didn’t you say that
ou dismissed the suits because Judge
cattle was a member of the trusts?
Governor Davis—I did not.
Judge Wood—Yes, you did. I heard
ou. When 1 spoke against you at
lena you said it there. Gentlemen
f the jury (laiighter)* he (the gov
rnor) says you are empaneled as a
iry and I hope you will not let Davis 1
eeeive you any longer as he goes
ver the state and arrays the country
eople against the town people. Judge
iattle is an honored member of the
baptist church and a Christian gentle
rnn.
Judge Wood then referred to how
•avis tried to have Judge Battle de
iated after he had won the race at
ae last Democratic state convention,
nd try to put in another man.

QUAIL FARM FOR ARKANSAS.
Guy Gordon of Columbia, Mo., is
about to start a quail farm in Arkan
sas, working on the theory that the
birds can be raised on the same prin
ciple as poultry. His experiments in
Missouri have demonstrated that
quails can be raised as easily and with
as little expense as chickens, but the
question of profit remains to be deter
mined. It is questionable whether
Gordon can market the birds in Ark
ansas under the present game laws,
but he will no doubt be guided by legal
advice on this point.
Gordon’s method of quail farming is
said to be interesting. The birds are
hatched in an incubator at a tempera
ture of 104 degrees, and while in the
care of the mother get along well
enough in the daytime without artifi
cial heat. At night, however, it is
necessary to keep a lamp burning in
the brood house to insure a tempera
ture of at least 90 degrees. Like all
incubator products the birds are sur
prisingly tame, and even the full
grown quails can be picked up and
fed out of the hand.
The quail breeder has one peculiar
obstacle to contend with in the matter
of reproduction. A pair of quails
once mated are united for life.
Neither the male nor the female will
desert its mate for another, and the
loss of one out of a pair is equivalent
to the loss of both. Even after the
death of one the other is not fit for
reproductive purposes. If the hen
quail is paired with any other bird
than her original mate her eggs are
oarren and never fertile. The aver
age quail hen lays about sixteen eggs
a year. The setting season lasts three
months, usually from April 1 to the
last week in June.
DAVIS WILD BE URGED
TO MEET MURPHY.
Little Rock, Aug. 18.—Governor
Davis is booked for a speech tomor
row at Booneville and one of the other
gubernatorial candidates may meet
him there, though this has not yet
beemdecided on.
Coi. Murphy will speak next Mon
day at Magazine, and he will some
tim* this week address a letter to the
governor inviting him to be present
and meet him on the stump. The in
vitation will be made as urgeLt as
possible.
Col. Murphy last spoke on politics
at Lake Village, last month, and the
governor, who had been advertised to
speak at the same time, and who, in a
letter to Jud ;e Wood, had stated that
he would speak at Lake Village, was
not present. The state university
board met in this city on that date and
the governor remained here to attend
that meeting.
There will be a large and a repre
sentative crowd at Magazine when
Col. Murphy speaks tnere, as court
will be in session there that day, and
as is usual on such days, many or the
farmers from the surrounding terri
tory will be present.
CAMDEN COMPRESS
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Camden, Ark., Aug. 17.—The Cam
den compress, Ritchie & Company’s
warehouse and three dwellings were
completely destroyed by fire yester
day morning at 2 o’clock. In tho com
press were stored wagons, buggies,
nacmnery ana a rew oaies or cotton,
md none of these were saved from
;he fury of tbe flames. The loss will
36 in the neighborhood of 8100,000,
md there was not a cent of insurance ;
in the compress or its contents. A
Cotton Belt box car was also burned.
The compress was tbe property of ,
Mr. Jay of Terrell, Texas, and the
;bree residences belonged to W. M. j
McCall of this city. The machinery ,
md vehicles in the destroyed com
jress were owned by McCray & Co.,
3rown Bros., and the Camden Machi- .
lery & Supply Company. The oil
louse nearby and Ritchie & Co.’s I
wholesale house had a narrow escape I
rom destruction. J j
