MAKERS & AJEWY°RK I
But no picture, however perfect, I
can do Benjamin clothes full jus- I
tice. You must see them—exam- 11
ine them carefully—to really ap
preciate them. We want you to
note the careful, custom-tailor way
in which the cloth is sponged,
shrunken and shaped by hand;
how it is cut by experts to fit your
figure; how superbly stylish is the
finished garment; how exquisite
the workmanship, inside and out.
Benjamin apparel costs no more
than commonplace ready-mades.

MRS. LESLIE HALL
CHOSEN PRESIDENT.
Daughters of Confederacy Adjourn
Hot Springs Convention After
Election of Officers—State His
torian Criticises Growing
Disposition to Seek
Office.
Hot Springs, Oct. 30.—The state di
vision United Daughters of the Con
federacy closed its annual session and
adjourned at noon today. The report
of Mrs. M. Jasper Willis, state histo
rian, was an interesting feature of the
closing session. She criticised the
growing disposition among members
to seek office rather than a sincere de
sire to gather and perpetuate history
and promote the memorial work for
which the organization was chiefly de
signed. She urged all daughters to
gather data referring to the noble
deeds of both men and women of the
Confederacy. She also paid a glowing
tribute to David Dodd, the youthful
Confederate soldier who was hanged
at Little Rock by order of Gen. Steele,
to whom he waB reported as a cap
tured spy. A vote of thanks was
given Mrs. Willis for her interesting
paper, on motion of Mrs. Keller.
The election of officers for the en
suing year was the next order and re
sulted as follows:
President—Mrs. Hall, Dardanelle.
Treasurer—Mrs. Fitzhugh.
Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Sue
L. James.
State Historian—Mrs. R. B. Willis.
Several amendments to the consti
tution were offered and went over to
the next meeting for action.
Mrs. Boles read the report of the
Jefferson Davis monument fund com

Mrs. Keller asked that a motion be
made to send resolutions of sympathy
by wire to Mrs. Jefferson Davis for
her recovery from her recent critical
illness. The motion was carried.
A motion was made to omit the
names of each individual who donated
to the monument fund. Quite a dis
cussion was entered into by Mrs. Polk
and Mrs. Wassell as to the advisability
of such a move. The motion to dis
miss the subject as local and not a
state question was carried.
Mrs. James Fagan Watson of New
port read a vote of thanks tendered
the Laser Decorating Company for the
loan of two beautiful pictures, one of
Gen. Robert E. Lee and the other of
Gen. Joe Wheeler.
A motion to change the day of dis
tributing crosses to the natal day of
David O. Dodd, which is the 2d day of
November was carried.
Mrs. James Fagan Watson of New
port read a splendid paper on how to
organize junior classes, after which
Mrs. James made a motion to extend
a rising vote of thanks to Mrs. Wat
son for her interest in the work. Mrs.
Watson is a daughter of Gen. James
H. Fagan.
Resolutions of thanks to various lo
cal hotels, the newspapers and per
sons for special courtesies were adop
ted, after which the convention ad
journed sine die.
LIFELESS BODY FOUND IN GIN.
________
Brinkley, Oct. 30.—Bud Gideon, a
young man, sixteen or seventeen years
old, who was employed at Robert
Lynch’s cotton gin in “Dark Corner,”
about eight miles from this city, was
found dead and buried in the cotton
in a cotton room at the gin this eve
ning. His head was crushed and
other marks of violence indicated
that he had been murdered.
Gideon failed to come home last
night, and was not heard of, though
search and inquiry were made, until
late in the night. The search was con
tinued without avail until this eve
ning, when the body was found.
When last seen alive young Gideon
was assisting two negroes to unload
cotton at the gin and the negroes are
suspected of the crim^. Gideon is the
son of a widow and was an industrious
quiet young man, well thought of in
the community.
SENATOR CLARKE’S SILENCE.
Senator Clarke’s silence in the pres
ent campaign is bringing upon him the
censure of many Davis supporters,
who at the behest of the governor
pulled off their coats and laDored for
“Old Cotton Top” in the last prima
ries. The Jonesboro Enterprise,
which supported both Davis and
Clarke last time, but is now waging
open warfare upon Jeff, has the fol
lowing explanation to offer for the
iunior senator from Arkansas:
“Some of his enemies are assailing
Senator Clarke, accusing him of
treachery because he does not come
to the rescue of Jeff Davis in his can
didacy for the third term. The En
terprise does not profess to know it
all, buc w
or two, a:
no traitor,
nothing. _
