JEFF DAVIS AND THE PRESS.
Nearly every day says the Monroe
County Sun, we hear someone say
that the newspapers of Arkansas are
responsible for the bold Jeff Davis has
upon the people of the state. If this
be true it is a reproach upon the in
telligence of Arkansas.
The facts are the newspapers of Ar
kansas, except a few hirelings have
for months been exposing Jeff Davis
just the same as any other fraud.
They have kept the public informed
about his misconduct—bis career of
debauchery, dishonesty and disgrace
such as has never befouled any
Southern state*—and they have done it
fearlessly and truthfully.
If the newspapers of Arkansas
should admonish the people against a
particular insurance company, a
lightning rod agent, a fake doctor or
any fraudu>ent concern, the chief aim
of which was to separate the un
eopohisticated from his coin and give
nothing in return, the people would
be on their guard and shun the im
postor thus exposed as they would
contagion.
Jeff Davis is a course natured man,
a typical vulgarian in every particu
lar, a man who has bedraggled the
dignity of the state and his position
in the lowest forms of debauchery and
dishonor. His drunken spree at Hot
Springs before the Wisconsin Press
Association, where he offered insult
to women and uttered a most shock
ing sacrilege is enough in itself to
condemn him in the mind of every
self-respecting person in possession
of the facts. Anyone who can read
may learn these facts and the details
of this most degrading and profane
debauch may be established incontro
vertibly. His dismissal by the Second
Baptist church of Little Rock carries
with it a moral condemnation which
ought to be satisfying to anyone save
the intellectually crippled or dishon
esuy designing.
The newspapers have done their
whole duty in the exposition of Davis
and Davisism. It has been a nasty,
disagreeable, rewardless, and to thife
writing, futile task, but they have dis
charged their duty like men, and their
efforts are duly appreciated by everj
person whose approval is worth hav
ing.
The confession that the newspapers
are responsible for Jeff Davis carries
with it the severest possible indict
ment of the public sense.—Monroe
County Sun.
CHARLES AUSTIN
CONVICTED OF MURDER.
Caruthersville, Mo., July 26.—Chas.
Austin, who has been on trial bere for
the killing of Mrs. Carrie Johnson,
was yesterday convicted of murder in
the first degree.
Austin is accused of being one of the
ringleaders of a mob who one night
last winter made a descent on the
widow Johnson’s home, and after a
fusillade of shots left the woman lying
on the ground in a dying condition.
The trouble between Mrs. Johnson
and her neighbors arose over a cow
which had broken through a fence
and trespassed on neighboring farm
land. The men rode up to Mrs. John
son’s home one night and after a hot
argument over the fencing opened
tire on the woman. Mrs. Johnson re
turned the fire until she was wounded,
after which the mob rode off.
Austin was arrested charged with
being a member of the mob, and after
an exciting trial the jury returned a
verdict convicting him of the mur
der.
FRANK BROWNING FINED.

ing he plead guilty to such a charge

nesses to the affray the affair was

ENGINEERS RECOMMEND
BRANCH LINE TO RUSH.
Messrs. Rohwer and Shaw, engi
neers for the Missouri Pacific railroad,
arrived in Yellville last Saturday even
ing, says the Echo, and in company
with Hon. J. C. Floyd went down to
Rush Sunday to examine the mines in
that district in order to form a con
clusion as to the advisability of build
ing a branch line from this place to
that point. They also carefully ex
amined the route between here and
there, and came back with the doubt
completely removed as to the ability
of the Rush and Clabber creek camps
to furnish sufficient ore to justify the
building of a branch line into that
territory. They found the route be
tween here and Rush to be much
easier than they had ever dreamed it
could be, saying “it is prairie” com
pared to the character of country
they are used to working over. They
gave Mr. Floyd to understand that
the building of the line would be rec
ommended by them to the manage
ment of the company, and steps in
that direction may be expected to be
gin in the near future.
GOVERNOR AND VANDEVENTER
HAVE HOT DISCUSSION.
Bald Knob, July 26.—Governor Jeff
Davis and Hon. A. F. Vandeventer of
Morrilton engaged in a hot discussion
at Butterville yesterday. Over 4,000
people were present. Davis opened
the debate and told why he was a can
didate for a third term. He denounc
ed the supreme court in strong terms
and discussed the anti-trust law and
the court’s decision. He denounced
the legislature and said there never
waB an attempt to impeach the gov
ernor of the state before.
Mr. Vandeventer discussed the gov
ernor’s official record and said he
would not speak to any of the state
officials, and discussed the reasons
why. He said Gov. Davis had par
doned over 600 criminals during his
three years as governor.
Gov. Davis had a few minutes’ re
joinder, which he used to the satis
faction of his friends, who yelled at
the top of their voice when he con
cluded.

ESQUIRE SMITH’S COURT.
J. M. Douglass, living east of New
port, imbibed too freely Saturday and
mistreated his family shamefully.
While intoxicated he was locked up in
jail, Esquire Smith having bound him
over on a §1000 peace bond Saturday.
A suit was instituted Monday by
W. A. Morgan of Tupelo against R.
Rampey to garnishee his wages for
settlement of an old account.
DR. WILLIS’ DECISION. J
Rev. R. B. Willis, after much de
liberation over the matter, has con
sented to accept the call to the
church at Newport. This call was for m
half of his time, and since Searcy has
four pastors giving all of their time
here he felt that it was hardly just
that the Newport Presbyterian church
should have no pastor, and by obtain
ing the mutual consent of his session
he began his services there on the
second Sunday in this month. He
will preach in Newport the second
and fourth Sundays, and in Searcy
the first and third. He reports the
outlook for a great work in his new
charge as very favorable and that the
people have taken hold and gone to
work with great zeal. While we re
gret to lose half of Dr. Willis’ time,
we feel sure that he is guided by his
conscience and that a great blessing
will be the outcome.—Searcy Citizen.
STRANGE WOMAN
ABANDONS BABE.
Pine Bluff, Ark., July 26.—A mys
tery, which is now the chief topic of
conversation, was occasioned last
night by the abandonment of an in
fant. At Little Rock, a woman of
nice appearance with a young man,
who afterwards got off, boarded the
Valley train. The woman carried a
6-weeks-old infant and a basket of its
clothes. Conductor Callahan missed
her when the train left Pine Bluff and
found the child and clothes on a seat.
He wired south from here, notifying
the officers, and diligent search has
been made for the woman, without
finding her. A fan found with the
child, apparently left by the woman,
bears the address “Carrie Reece,
Milton, Tex.” Chief of Police Perdue
has charge of the child, which was
sent back to Pine Bluff.
