affairs can be found than in the
manner in which he received the j
disappointing election returns in
New Jersey this week.
It was a fact of course, as the
Tribune has pointed out, that the j
republican party massed its ev
ery effort in New Jersey to dis
credit this new leader of democ
racy7 whose popularity is most
dangerous to them. It was a
fact further that th'e machine
democrats deserted their party
and voted with the republicans
against this man who refused to
tolerate machine politics.
But no howl came from Gov
ernor Wilson and the statement
he made,which follows, is a mod
el of statesmanlike utterance;
“I of course, deeply regret the
loss of the house to my party
through the loss of Essex and
the failure ,to gain the senate,
but I look forward with great in
terest to the next session, as af
fording an opportunity to there-*
publican leaders to fulfill the
very explicit pledges of- their
platform. If they will, the ses
sion should be productive of leg
islation of considerable impor
tance and benefit to the state,
and I shall earnestly hope for
their co-operation in reforms
planned in the interest of the
whole state, which wre are all
sworn to serve.”—Jonesboro Tri

The Revival Increasing In Power
Last night several strong men
were converted and four or five
names were given for member- '
ship in the various churches.
Mr. Burke was at his best on
“The calls of God.” He said:
God calls from something unto .
something. He calls from sin ‘
unto righteousness, from drunk- .
mess unto sobriety,\from lying '
cmto truthfulness, from lewdness |
unto virtue and etc. Then the |
big preacher showed how New
port would increase in all things 1
if she could be wholly redeemed. (
Let it go but that all Newport
Was converted and real estate ,
would advance 50 per cent and
there would be a rush of good
citizenship to our town. JWe all 1
want the benefit of the churches,
but some do not want to pay

On State Farm In Effort To De
stroy Boll WeevU
Pest.
' ^ mm'?
Little Bock, Nov. 13.—In an
effort to destroy as nearly as
possible all the boll weevils at
the State farm members of the
penitentiary board announce
that the cotton stalks from the
entire 3,000 acres of cotton land
will be pulled up and burned dur
ing the winter. State Auditor
Jobe and Commissioner of Agri
culture Sloan returned Saturday
morning from a "two days’ visit
to the farm. They .found that
the boll weevil has spread over
the entire cotton area this year.
Last year this pest did not ap
pear at the farm, and its rapid
sipread has made the problem a
serious one for the penitentiary
authorities.
“We will not only pull arid
burn every cotton stalk after the
crop is harvested,” said Mr. Jobe
today, “but we .will also try to
autwit the weevil by planting an
early variety of cotton. The
farm will be cultivated just as
soon m the year as possible and
:hat it can develop in advance of
:he time for the weevils to ap
aear, or at least befpre they
*each their most destructive
stage. The winter will be de
moted to preparation of the land
'or next year’s crop, and as soon
is at all practicable next spring
;he land will be seeded with the
sarliest variety of cotton we can
ibtain.”
The visiting board of members
:ound about two-thirds of the
;otton crop gathered and that
;he current crop of the fleecy sta
>le will reach about 1,400 bales.
Samples of 500 bales are now on
lisplay at the penitentiary board
•ooms and will.be offered to cot
;on buyers this afternoon at 4
/clock for bids on the entire lot.

Superstitious Mothers.
In tbs far north skin cradles are
commonly used. As a rule these are
very crude and often unsightly in
construction. They are very rare,
even In great museums and ethnologic
collections, because of the supersti
tions and prejudices of the mothers.
Among the Tlinkita of Alaska, no mat
ter how large the family may be, the
i same cradle is never used for mors
than one child.
Erected Upon Site Of Old On
Main Street In Capital
City.
Little Rock, Nov. 13. —Fire
which started in the new Jones
House Furnishing building this
morning resulted in a total loss
of the $400,000 building owned
by the Fulk estate and probably
$150,000 in stock of the Jones
company.
The new Shall building, just
being conipleted, adjoining the
Fulk property, burned, with a
loss of probably $75,000. To
the south the new Donaghey
building, valued at $100,000, was
saved.
A conservative estimate of
the total damage is $250,000.
The fire started at 3 o’clock in
the fifth floor of the new Jones
House Furnishing company’s
building on Main street, and ow
ing to the nature of the con
struction, the fire department
was unable to control it.
Oft Jan. 11 1911, a four-story
building on the same site, to
gether with a three-story struc
ture to the south, owned by Gov.
Donaghey, and a two-story
building on the north covering
the entire block, was burned at
a loss of $1,000,000.
Jones House Furnishing Com
pany moved into the new build
ing three weeks ago. No steel
was used in the interior con
struction and the woodwork
burned Vapidly. It is believed
that defective wiring on the fifth
floor was the cause of the^ire.
The new Donaghey building,

suffer.
* The Home Water Company
building to the rear suffered
some damage , but was not de

For New Bridge
And Senator Brundidge.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 13.1911.
By Night Letter.
P.- H. Van Dyke, Editor Inde
pendent—Received your paper
and like it better than th'e Den
ver Post. Am for new bridge
over White River and Stephen
Brundidge for senator.
When here Senator Davis fail
ed to call on his ex-general of
the state guards. You see he
goes back'on the gallant fellows
that leave the state—change my
paper’s address to 2323 E. Col
fax. J. R. Mayhan. ^
* M> * *
We submit this for a charac
teristic letter and are pleased to
learn that Riley is right on both
issues. Newport needs the bridge
and Arkansas should have, a
statesman of Brundidge’s char
acter and ability in the national
senate.
Riley was once quite a parti
san and pet of Jeff’s, but the po
litical atmosphere of the state
where women vote, has improv
ed his judgment and ideas of the
type of men needed in public of
ficials.
Log Cutters Wanted.
To cut oak, hickory, gum and
cypress, will scale in the woods if
they lay over one pay day. Also
want logging teams.
Plenty of houses for laborers.
