APPOINTED NEGRO
JUSTICE OF PEACE.
Governor Denies Falling Off Train On
Way to New York But Says He
Takes a Drink Whenever He
Wants To—Wood Declares
Evans’ Statement
Correct.
Eureka Springs, Nov. 5.—The atten
tion of all Eureka Springs was con
centrated in the Wood-Vandeventer
Davis debate held here today.
Mr. Vaudeventer opened at 11
o’clock to a fair-sized audience, and
was attentively listened to until noon,
when a recess was taken until 1
o’clock. His denunciation ot the gov
ernor was extremely scathing, and
many thought him vitriolic, but it had
the approbation of a portion of the
audience, who applauded the bitterest
denunciator s.
The crowd which reassembled after
dinner filled the largest hall in town.
Judge Wood made a characteristic
speech, holding the attention of the
audience and eliciting liberal applause
from those in sympathy with his ar
guments. His entire attention was
directed to a merciless criticism of
the governor and his record. Judge
Wood explained the appointment by
him of negroes as jury commissioners
in his own county while circuit judge
as being for reasons of political ex
pediency and for the purpose of re
deeming the county from Republican
ruie.
Judge Wood said he had today re
ceived the following telegram:
“Jeff Davis appointed two negro
justices of the peace for Chicot coun
ty this year. (Signed) T. D. Craw
ford, reporter supreme court.”
Turning upon the governor he asked
“Is that true?” and received a nega
tive answer. Later Gov. Davis said
he had never knowingly appointed a
negro to any office; that it was his
custom to have the clerk of a county
to certify that an applicant was white,
a Democrat and for Jeff Davis, and
that if any negro had stepped into
office during his administration it was
an inadvertence.
Judge Wood said tnat the governor’s
intense desire for a third term was a
part of a plan to succeed Senator
Berry and concluded by singing a
stanza of “When Gabriel Blows His
Trumpet in the Morning,” making the
application that at that epoch in hu
man affairs Davis would still be try
ing to succeed somebody in the United
States senate. Judge Wood laid par
ticular stress upon the “no-man-flt
for-the-church, no-man-true-to-his
wife” statement charged to Governor
Davis.
During his speech the governor
turned to Judge Wood and asked him
to answer like a man, “Did you hear
me in my speech at Ozark say I am
not true to my wife; no man is?” to
which Judge Wood shook his head
negatively.
The incident created a sensation
and when the governor was discussing
the matter Judge Wood arose and
said: “You are misrepresenting me
and I will not stand it. I understood
you to say at Ozark just what Judge
Evans said you said in the latter part
of his letter to the Commercial Ap
peal, ana as i unaerstana it it means
practically the same thing the others
said you said.”
Gov. Davis charged Mr. Vandeven
ter with having taken home with him
on the adjournment of the legislature
of 1899 the chair in which he sat as
speaker of the house. The latter in
his rejoinder admitted the charge, but
said it was not a valuable chair.
Referring to the charge that while
enroute to New York he had gotten
drunk and fallen off the train the gov
ernor attempted to refute the charge
by witnesses, whereupon a voice in
quired, “But were you not drunk?”
“1 take a drink whenever 1 want it,”
retorted the chief executive.
Then turning to Judge Wood he
asked, “Did you ever take a drink?”
Receiving no response he said to the
audience, “Let the men here who de
cline to say they never took a drink
vote for me and Judge Wood can
have the rest.”
Gov. Davis drove to Beaver, six
miles north of herb, and spoke there
tonight, but the other two candidates
did not go.
MATTHEW WALSH*
IS LAID TO REST.
The funeral of Matthew Walsh, who
was killed on the L. & A. railroad
near Stamps, Ark., was held from the

TABLES TURNED
ON DOCTOR WHITE.
Case Against Mrs. Ruth Lane Dis
missed Who Proceeds to Swear
Out Warrant For Arrest of
Prosecuting Witness.
Little Rock, Nov. 6.—A new turn
was taken yesterday in the court of
Justice of the Peace T. W. Wilson,
when the case of Mrs. Ruth Lane was
called for trial, for the third time in a
month. The charge of assault to kill
was dismissed on motion of the pros
ecuting attorney and then Mrs. Lane
made an affidavit against Dr. R. L.
White, charging him with carrying a
pistol and assault with intent to kill.
The warrant has not yet been served.
On the night of October 6 Dr. White
was shot by Mrs. Lane in her house,
near Fifth street and Broadway and in
a statement made that night she
claimed that Dr. White also fired at
her. 3he was arrested by the police
on the charge of assault to kill and
her niece, Hallie Hollister, was arrest
ed as an accessory, she having, it was
alleged, handed the pistol to Mrs.
Lane. They were released on bond

Pharmacy is a very different art from what it
was a few years ago. It is a growing science,
and the druggist today who fills prescriptions
must be UP-TO-DATE and his stock must be
likewise. New remedies and few methods
multiply. Many prescriptions present problems
which only A SKILLFUL PHARMACIST can
rightly solve. We are prepared to fill any pre
scription, no matter where or by whom written.
