Wood Received Vociferous Applause
In Former Davis Stronghold—
Bourland Represented Gov
ernor.
Forrest City, Ark., Sept. 3-Parti
sans of Gov. Davis recently invited
him and Judge Wood to address the
voters here yesterday. Both gentle
men accepted and Judge Wood came,
but Jeff went elsewhere and sent
Judge J. V. Bourland to represent
him, A large crowd of farmers and
others gathered at the courthouse to
ddy to hear the speeches. Hon. O. B.
/Rollwage made a very timely intro
ductory talk and introduced the
speakers.
Judge Bourland was the first speak
er and spoke for an hour and a half.
Judge Wood was n^xt introduced
and had not proceeded more than a
half dozen sentences when he was
vociferously cheered, and at frequent
intervals he was roundly applauded,
and at one time the audience was al
most upon its feet with enthusiasm,
demonstrating beyond a doubt that a
large majority of those present were
friendly to Judge Wood’s candidacy.
This has formerly been a strong Davis
county, he having carried the county
the last time by a two to one majori
ty.
At the conclusion of Judge Wood’s
address he was given a handsome
bouquet of flowers.
In his rejoiner of fifteen minutes,
devoted almost entirely to the subject
of mercy, Judge Bourland was loudly
cheered.
There were no sensational turns
during the afternoon, the speeches
being along the same lines as usual.

VARDAMAN ON THE NEGRO.
Nominee for Governor of Mississippi
Says God Meant Him for a Bur
den-Bearer and He Should
Not Be Educated.
New Orleans, Sept. 3.—Major J. K.
Vardaman, who has just been nomi
nated as the Democratic candidate for
governor of Mississippi, which is
equivalent to an election, has given
out in an interview his opinion on the
negro question, which was the chief
isBueJin the lfite Mississippi primary.
“My attitude on the negro question
has been very m^ch misunderstood
by reason of the wholesale manner in
which I have been misquote*!,” said
Major Vardaman. “As a matter of
fact, my election, instead of being an
unfortunate thing for the negro, will
be a positive blessing. He shall have
justice during my administration, so ;
far as it lies within my power to give i
it to him. The educational needs of
the white children are not at all the
same as those of the negro children.
“God Almighty made negroes dif
ferently in the beginning, and so they
must remain until the end of time. In
the solution of this great problem, as
in the solution of all great problems,
I believe in working in accordance
with the eternal purpose, and when
we do this we>may reach a satisfac
tory settlement. It cannot be reach
ed in any other way.”
The negro, Major Vardaman holds,
was fashioned by God to be a burden
bearer. He cites the history of the
race since the beginning to bear him
out. He thinks that book learning |
spoils good servants and field hands,
and he does not hesitate to say so.
“The race problem,” he says, “is
one in which the whole country is vi
tally interested. 1 firmly believe that
it will be one of the leading issues in j
the coming national campaign. I
shall advocate with all my energy the
repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteen
th amendments of the United States
constitution. Sooner or later they will
be repealed. The greatest minds of
the country, North and South, realize
the mistake which was made in their
adoption.”
Major Vardaman believes in giving
the white children of Mississippi just
as much schooling as possible and in
giving the negro just as little as possi
ble. It is his flrn^rbelief that the ed
ucation of the negro makes for crime
among the negroes. He holds that
the negro of 1861 was far superior to
the negro of today.

PROF. HOPKINS PREPARES
TO GO TO NEWPORT.
r
Prof. Geo. R. Hopkins has sold his
splendid residence on West Court,
near the water tower, to W. E. Tal
ley, of Fredericktown, Mo., the con
sideration being 83,600., says the
Paragould Soliphone. The presump
tion is that Mr. Talley will become a
citizen of Paragould. He is president
of the Fredericktown Trust Co. and
is interested in the First National
Bank of Paragould. He is reputed to
be a gentleman of large means and
if he concludes to become a citizen of
Paragould he will no doubt become an
important factor in the financial and
commerical growth of the town.
Prof. Hopkins is preparing to move
to Newport where he has been elected
superintendent of the city public
schools. He has long been identified
with the educational growth of Para
gould and Greene county and his in
fluence for good will be felt in any
community that may be so fortunate
as to secure his services. Prof. Hop
kins and his interesting family will be
missed in Paragould, but the good
wishes of hundreds of friends will go
with them to their new home.
