If AN UNDESERVED fATE. |
lavid l. King is Eoreed Omit of
I die Race for Governor by the
I Man He Had Served.
I Senator David L. King’s an
nouncement of his withdrawal
from the gubernatorial contest
has occasioned sincere regret
am*ng those who were loyal to
his candidacy, and these are to
be found in all parts of the
State. The Record is not author
ized to speak for Senator King,
Mftneither does it know his feelings
Min the matter, yet it feels safe
gBin asserting that the action of
iMGov. Jeff Davis in championing
Kthe candidacy of John S. Little
Kiis largely responsible for Senator
pRKing’s withdrawal i from the
!J| race. This paper does not wish
Mto be understood as believing
R that Senator King is a type of
Bthe coat-tail politician, who was
W relying on Gov. Davis to win his
fRnomination for him, but Senator
BKing, as any sensible man would
■Shave done, must have reasoned
ijPthat with Attorney-General Rog
(®ers as strong a factor in the
race as he is conceded on all
sides to be, and with Governor
Davis using his influence against
him in the interest of another
candidate, he absolutely had no
show to win. Senator King did
not expect Gov. Davis to openly
espouse his candidacy, but he
and his friends certainly, in the
very nature of political events
in this State, as well as in the
name of fair-play, honor andj
decency, had a right to expect j
that if the Governor was not per- i
sonally for him for governor, he i
would keep his hands out of the
^ fight and make no attempt to in
fluence the voters against him.
There is no getting around the
fact that Gov. Davis, under the
pretense of friendship for Sen
• ator King, did fight him, and ■
fight him in the very hardest |
way. Gov. Davis, in his speech
i es over the State, when refer- {
ring to the governor’s race,
would say:
; , “Personally I am for King or
Logan, because they have al
l ways been my political friends, i
but Mr. Little will be your next j
governor, and he is an honest
man.’’
And again:
“Gentlemen, JohnS. Little has
never been a supporter of mine, !
' but he has never dene me any;
harm, and he is going to be your!
next governor.’’
What harder blow could Gov. j
Davis deal Senator King than to!
pretend to be friendly toward!
him. and in the same breath de- j
clare he would be defeated?
The fact that Gov. Davis pub- i
licly opposed the candidacy of
Senator King shows the ingrati- ’
^tdde of the man. He has not!
:* had a better friend in the state;
! than Dave King, ami it is a well'
known tact that Senator King i
’has worked hand in hand with
him in the carrying out of!
his ideas of reform, being always!
in a position to advance them. j
The fact that Gov. Davis took
j up the candidacy of John S.
Little shows another side of the
man. Senator King has always
been Gov. Davis’ political friend.
John S. Little has always been ]
Gov. Davis’ political enemy, j
Senator King was a logical anti- j
> trust candidate for governor,
having made a fight in two cam
paigns and in two sessions of the
state senate for an anti-trust law.
John S. Little has served five or
six terms in congress and hasn’t
created enough anti-trust record
to raise a suspicion. Senator
King las stumped the state.
whenever Gov. Davis has wanted
office. John S. Little has acted
exactly to the contrary.
In the face of all these things,
which are facts, not fiction, we
repeat that Senator King and his
friends had a right to expect
that Gov. Davis would, at least,
not use his influence against a
friend and for an enemy.— Sharp

JONESBORO AROUSED.
Much Good Accomplished in Neighbor
Citv by the Uplifting Influence
of Aroused Christianity.
Jonesboro, Nov. 9.—The re
vival services being conducted
in the first Methodist church at
this place by Rev. Mr. McIntosh
of Iuka, Miss., have assumed
larger proportions than any ever
held in this city. There have
been a large number of conver
Knno
The pastor, Rev. Fred Little,
announced on last Sunday morn
ing that the services would close
on Wednesday night, but the in
terest was increased so much it
was thought unwise to do so.
The meeting will therefore con
tinue until Sunday night. At
the service last night, which
was for men only, about twenty
men were converted and many
others went forward for prayers
and said they meant to lead a
better life. At the same hour
there was a service at the First
Baptist chureh for ladies only,
and much good was accomplish
ed at this service.
While'this revival meeting is
being conducted at the Metho
dist church, the Christians from
all denominations are working
and praying for the success of
the meeting.
Yesterday about 20 of the
good women of the city went to
the red light district and held
services with the unfortunates,
and many of the latter promised
to lead different lives. One
came to the church in the after
noon and was at the altar pray
ing. The ladies have arranged
to send her to a rescue home in
St. Louis. The good this meet
ing is doing for the city cannot
be estimated.
