VANDEVENTER REFUSED
PRIVILEGE OF SPEAKING.
Governor Davis Makes Political Ad
dress at Jonesboro Fourth of July
Celebration—Band Played to
Stop Vande venter.
Jonesboro, July 6.—The firemen’s
Fourth of July picnic here yesterday
was attended by 6,000 people. Gov.
Davis was present by invitation and
was introduced by Mayor Applegate.
About 1,600 people heard the address.
The governor’s speech was practi
cally the same as the one ne made on
Friday at Brinkley. He thanked the
people for their support in the last
campaigns in this county. He said
he did not come from the stock that
quit and he wanted a third term. He
took up in order the anti-trust bill,
the impeachment proceedings and
the charge of abuse of the pardoning
power. He told, as he had done be
fore, of mothers asking and pleading
for mercy for wayward sons, but
had a new one for his Jonesboro
audience. The hero of the one told
about here on the occasion of the
governor’s last visit returned after he
was pardoned and stole another horse,
for which he was again sent up for
seven years.
The governor made a strong appeal
to the fellows who wear wool hats,
one gallus and patched pants, but be
didn’t want to be governor if they
elected the same crowd to the legis
lature. He referred to the omnibus
veto and to a local bill separating the
assessor’s from the sheriff’s office,
and said that he would have approved
it if he had had time.
The speech was political from be
ginning to end. He made little or no
reference to the day or the occasion.
On finishing his speech the governor
immediately left the grounds, shaking
hands with those he met.
Hon. A. F. Vandeventer was pres
ent and mounted the platform as the
governor left. He called on the gov
ernor to remain. He spoke for a
short time in the vein he used in the
speech at Brinkley. There was oppo
sition to his making an address on the
part of some members of the fire
men’s committee, who desired the
stand for the use of the band. After
he had spoken some time an effort
was made to induce him to desist and
the band was started playing. The
desire to hear him was very evident,
and he met with an enthusiastic
greeting, but he soon gave way to the
band.
APPEAL TO THE YOUNG.

character was ever an inspiration for ;
those about her to better and more i
useful lives. '
“There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heaven’s jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
"There is no death! An angel form
Walks o’er the earth in silent tread,
He bears onr best loved things away,
And then we call them ‘dead.’
“And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
Vor all the boundless universe
Is life—there are no dead.”
