Stand Ip For Improvement.
There seems to be a lament
able lack of harmony in Newport
upon all public issues, even im
provements, and there have been
knockers to everything thus far
accomplished. The big majority
of the property owners favor
pushing ahead, and are willing
to recognize the necessity of
municipal action that may work
a hardship upon some individu- j
als, and to give up certain rights j
to enjoy city privileges and ad-j
vantages.
What this majority don’t
always do, however, is to prop
erly support the leaders of such
improvements. They ought to
make themselves and their influ
ence felt. Half the knockers
would drop out of sight.
Just at this time the property
owners on Walnut street are un
dertaking the laying of concrete
walks on that street from Second
to Remmel avenue, have organ
ized an improvement district,
received estimates upon the cost
of the work, and assessed the
property as benefited. The cost
is about $1.00 per front foot, or
for a lot with a fifty-foot front
$50, but interest is allowed for
in this calculation, and the pay
ments divided through five years.
Thus on a fifty-foot lot the owner
would pay $10 per year for five
years and have a modern stable
walk, lasting a generation or
more.
ine oojecuon cannoi ue coat,
for it seems actually cheap, con
sidering how permanent is a
cement walk; the assessment
cannot work a hardship on any
one, extended by five annual
payments, and it becomes the
duty of the large majority of
property owners on Walnut
street to manifest their approval
of the improvement and be
strong in their loyalty.
The sidewalks of Newport are
generally in very bad condition.
The city is entitled to free de
livery by the local postoffice re
ceipts, but one requirement of
the government before the ser
vice is ever inaugurated is good
walks. Let other streets take
up the work of building good
and lasting walks and make
Newport inviting and inducive
to the homeseeker and investor.
“Jeffie, old boy,” has gone to
butting in again. Four years
ago he was after Jeems K. Jones
and that awful octopus, the round
bale trust, now deceased; two
years ago he had Friday Bour
land and Slave Carmichael to
boost for attorney general and
supreme justice, and at Augusta
the other day he declared he
would rather have his dead body
stretched across the executive
doorway than have one of the
candidates for governor elec
ted. He didn’t call any
names, but he meant Bob
Rogers, who has always had the
aai i *»n nrn f a AnnAuA him 1T1 VllG m CX _
~ r' c-- —
chine building. If th ? governor
had a man like Bob Rogers op
posing him for the senate he
might confine his campaign to
his own office.
When Missouri towns are com
mencing to quarantine, is it not
tempting fate for this city to
raise such regulations? While
the danger does not seem immi
nent or probable, too much pre
caution can hardly be taken to
keep Newport free from yellow
fever. _
Gov. Davis, while in Jones-,
boro the other day had some
thing to say that sounds very j
iharacteristic. He had been
counted out in Craighead at the
ast election, and as Bill Cate
vas going to spend two thousand
iollars this year, he didn't know
whether he would fight this
Doodle. That’s the substance of
iis interview, and it ha$ all the |
?armarks of the author.
Protection Should Be Given.
Yellow fever has developed at
Lake Providence, Louisiana, only
about twenty miles from the Ar
kansas line. Some reports assert
there are as high as twenty cases
there. Arkansas City and other
points on the Louisiana line de
clare that the state quarantine
is not sufficient and are raising
funds for home guards. The
state board of health refused to
ailow a hundred residents of
Lake Providence to pass through
the state in a special train. The
situation in Louisiana outside of
New Orleans is admittedly worse
every succeeding day.
The question is, are not her
people going to try to get into
and through Arkansas ? Suppose
yellow fever became general in
this state, wouldn’t it take a
rigid quarantine along the Mis
souri line to keep our people out
of Joe Folk’s realms? Then why
should Newport at this stage of
the game throw down her quar
antine, when doctors assert the
fever would be mo3t malignant
in such an unsanitary city, and
there must be enough stygomia
here out of all our bloody tribe
of mosquitoes to make the fever
epidemic should one exposed ref
ugee find his way here.
With fever breaking out at
points far north like Gregory,
Mo., Newport may become ex
posed any day and here it would
be a most fatal epidemic, disas
trous, too, to property interests,
if it be only upon this latter ap
peal some may be reached.
It would be the duty of elected
councilmen of a people to protect
them from such a pestilence,
even against their will and when
the big majority want such pro
tection, the expenses for such a
quarantine are a weak defense
for the opposition.

Missouri Tightens Lines.
Rogers, Aug. 25.—Commenc
ing thi3 morning Missouri is
drawing a tighter quarantine at
the state line and passengers
from this section who were not
furnished with the necessary
health certificate were compelled
to leave the train at Seligman,
just over the line, until a physi
cian had examined them. The
new order went into effect this
morning and many passengers
were taken unawares, although
the railroad officials gave notice
at stations wherever possible.
Conductor Put Guard Off.
Pine Bluff, Aug. 25.—Leonard
Carver, one of the health officers
who has been detailed to meet
all trains which enter the city
from the south on any train on
j the Cotton Belt, was ejected by
Conductor Charles Culberson yes
terday while he was riding south
on the local freight. Mayor
White has reported the matter
to Superintendent 'Peck of the
Cotton Belt.

WHEN OLD AOE COMES
The sense of sight grows most
precious, though often the best
of glasses cannot restore to old
eyes even a portion of their
youthful power. These facts
should impress all with the im
portance of early care for the
organs of sight. Do not wait
till your eyes become impaired,
but have them tested at once, as
often an eye specialist can detect
and remedy in time what might
prove a serious \ trouble if ne

You coo easily determine if your kidneys are

G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes:
“About four year, ago I wrote you stating that I had bean antirely
cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of
Foley's Kidney Curs. It entirely stopped the brick-dust sediment and
riin and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that
have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four
years that have elapsed, and i am evidently cured to stay cured, and
