STILL CRYING
FOR VINDICATION.
Davis Speakers Take Up Vindi
cation Plea Instead of Dwell
ing Upon Merits of Their
Candidate.
Mammoth Spring, March 15.—
The speaking at the opera house
^ last night by Chancellor G. H.
Humphreys of Fayetteville, rep
resenting Gov. Davis, and Hon.
J. L. Short of Salem, represent
ing Judge Wood, was largely at
tended.
Judge Humphreys in his speech
declared his county, Washington,
would give 1,000 majority for
Davis, Benton 500 and Boone
and Carroll like majorities. He
.begged the people to not consider
the third term, but to vindicate
Gov. Davis by re-electing him.
He devoted most .of his speech to
the anti-trust law.
Senator Short when he was in
troduced received a rsgular ova
tion from the audiehce, lasting
some minutes, during which a
majority of the Davis element,
including about ten voters, filed
out. Toward the close of Sena
tor Short’s speech they returned
for the rejoinder and frequently
interrupted him, as his speech
against Davis’ official acts was
not relished by them.
Senator Short made one of the
most forceful speeches ever heard
here.
UNLUCKY THIRTEEN
I Ron 07 ARK TOWN, i
Ozark, March 15. — January
13 this town had its big blaze.
February 13 Mr. Slayton’s home,
a small box house in the suburbs
of Ozark, was totally destroyed
by fire. Sunday, March 13, the
Presbyterian church caught fire
while the Junior Endeavor So
ciety was in session. In less than
five minutes after the fire alarm
was given, Ozark s excellent
bucket brigade arrived and ex
tinguished the fire before much
damage was done. It caught
from the flue. It seems “13” is
surely an unlucky number for
Ozark.
TWO cars' WRECKED.
Gurdon, March 15.—A freight
train on the Camden branch of
the Iron Mountain, in making a
drop switch a mile below Gur
don Sunday evening at 4:15 p. m.,
wrecked two cars loaded with
lumber. A broken lamp and wet
ground were the cause. No one
was hurt. A negro brakeman
who was on the front car to stop
if \xrV»c»n clip train had cleared the
main track jumped and saved
himself. The main line and
i*> ^witches were blocked and No.
u ' 16 delayed four hours. The
*1 passengers were transferred to
| Gurdon to catch No. 6.
I ASHDOWN NEWS.
Ashdown, March 15.—Louise,
the youngest daughter of Mayor
J. M. Johnson, died Sunday night
of pneumonia.
Politics is running higher here
than for many years, all in con
sequence of the gubernatorial
race. ^
WORK IN HARMONY.
We haven’t got any use for tin
man who tries to incite and ex
cite a feeling of animosity be
l^veen communities. The mar
who tries to make the country
people think that the town p^p
pie are opposing their best in
terests is an enemy to- the pub
lie good, and demonstrates him
SPlf to be a dangerous dema
gogue. No sensible man can but
know that the interests of each
are identical, and that when
either oppose the other his ac
tions are inimical to the interests
of both. Governor Davis’ con
stant reference to town people as
“high collared crowd,” and to
the country people as “red
necks,” “hill billies,” etc., is a
dangerous demagogue and should
be suppressed at the ballot box.
