Needless
Constipation.
.. i t
Constipation shortens life. It kills by inches, but none
the less surely. The condition is seldom necessary; it is
due to a morbid condition of the liver that can be over
come with the proper remedy.
Sells’
Liver Pills
•
if persistently used, are a radical cure for constipation.
They do even more, for with the disappearance of the
chief trouble many minor ones will vanish. Complexion

PREACHERS PROPOSE
TO SIFT CHARGES.
Fight Will Be Made Upon President of
Anti-Saloon League if Charges
Preferred Are True.
—
Pine Bluff, Ark., A,ug. 21.—The
church people and those interested
directly in the Anti-saloon league
movement in this city are very much
stirred up over charges recently pub
lished against Rev. E. A. Tabor of
Little Rock, editor of the Searchlight,
and will probe the matter to the bot
tom. A conference was held by Rev.
J. M. Hawley, pastor of the First
Methodist church; Rev. J. M. Ander
son of Conway; Rev. Dickerson, pas
tor of the Riverside Methodist church,
and Rev. T. W. Scott, presiding elder
of this district.
“We certainly will not allow Mr.
Tabor to head the temperance move
ment in our state if the charges are
true,” said Mr. Anderson. “On the
other hand, if these same charges are
proven false somebody will have to
make retractions.
“Mr. Tabor is backed by hundreds
of honest, reliable Christians through
out the state who are firm in their be
lief in his integrity, and the proof of
his guilt will have to be positive. We
will not take any old saloon bum’s
word against that of Mr. Tabor.”
The item that was published in the
Pine Bluff Courier, and which has
started the investigation, is as follows:
“HE KNOWS THEM.
“Rev. Tabor Visits Pine Bluff and
Seeks a Dive—He Gets His Deserts
—Denounces Drunkards, But In
dulges in Drink and Other Evil
Practices Himself.
“Among the visitors to Pine Bluff
Tuesday was the Rev. E. A. Tabor of
Little Rock, editor of the Searchlight
of that place, and who is also a great
temperance advocate and moral re
former, who wages war on all kinds
of evil both from the pulpit and
through his paper.' While here he
visited a den of iniquity, for on Tues
day night at a late hour a Courier re
porter saw Tabor in a Third avenue
saloon enjoying a ‘whisky sour.’ The
last seen of the gentleman he was
hurrying in the direction of the ‘ten
derloin’ district on East Barraque
street as fast qs his legs would carry
him. We presume he was looking for
other evils besides the saloon that he
could roast in the ‘Searchlight’ on his
return home, and tell what a sinful
place he found Pine Bluff to be.”
The Courier editor says he is ready
to go into the court any time with the
issue, and says he will put it there
quickly if Mr. Tabor will only make
oath to the statements contained in
his denial.

THE TRIUMPH OF DESPAIR.
(Henry Tyrrell in September Success.) ’
Behind the clouds the sky is blue,
Tomorrow may be fair;
Never despair, but if you do,
Work on in your despair.
The needle to the pole points true,
For dauntless men who dare;
Never despair, but if you do,
asWorn on in your despair.
Though fate no roses flings, but rue,
And a thorny crown you wear;
Never despair, but if you do,
Work on in your despair.

M’RAE MAY RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
Former Congressman T. C. McRae
of Prescott has not given any definite
statement as yet concerning his in
tentions as to the gubernatorial race,
and now and then the rumor circu
lates that he may conclude to enter
the race.
The Prescott Graphic, published in
the home town of Mr. McRae, prints
an editorial in its issue for the current
week in which it states that the story
of the alleged compact between Mc
Rae and Davis last year “does not in
any degree state facts.”
In concluding the editorial the
Graphic makes the following state
ment:
“McRae acknowledges Davis’ right
to run for governor so far as he is
concerned, and it is not improbable
that Mr. McRae may yield to the im
mense pressure that is being brought
to bear upon him from all parts of the
state and also enter the race.”
This statement, coming from a pa
per printed in Prescott, has attracted
attention in political circles and has
started a fresh run of speculation as
to whether Mr. McRae will be a can
didate.

C. R. Hite, D. M. Gregg and Henry

up to the average, nor in keeping
with their reputation as expert ang
