Needless
Constipation.
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.
C They do even more, fur with file disappearance uf the
chief trouble many minor ones will vanish. Complexion
will be keener, and a new supply of energy will appear.

THAT BLOW AT BISMARCK.
Judge Wood Makes a Statement in
Answer to the Version Given by
Governor Davis—Says
Jeff Lied.
To the Commercial Appeal:
I have just read the letter of Gov.
Davis, giving his version of the diffi
culty at Bismarck. The letter bears
the impress of falsehood on its face.
He says he had just asked me certain
questions and then says in the same
breath in the next sentence, “And
while I was sitting and paying no at
tention to what he did he rushed upon
me and shoved me,” etc. The truth
is, I had answered his question, and
he was disputing my word, and I told
him not to do that, pointing my Anger
at him. 1 was standing close to him
and he said, “Don’t point your Anger
in my face” and told me to get further
away from him. He started at this
juncture to rise from his chair and I
struck at his nose and he dodged back
and I think my blow landed on his
breast, 1 don’t know just where. At
any rate, he tumbled off of the plat
form, and immediately we were both
surrounded by our respective friends.
The statement that he was “pinning
me down on the facts too strong to be
comfortable” if true gives the lie to
the other statement just made by him
above “that be was sitting paying no
attention to what 1 did.” The truth
is, he was looking right at me, dis
puting the answer I had deigned to
make him, because the answer was
the truth. But the truth did not suit
him, and it never does. He is a
stranger to it, as the people of Ark
ansas have long since found out. I
regret the necessity for knocking him
from the platform, but I do not be
lieve that any self-respecting gentle
man will censure me for doing what 1
did under the circumstances. If the
good people of Arkansas expect me
to ictKt} me insults ui even «jeu l^ttvio
without resentment they will be dis
appointed. However, I may not
further bother the public with these
matters. I should regret exceedingly
to involve any of my friends or Gov.
Davis’ friends in a difficulty, but the
proprieties of debate should be ob
served and then there would never be
any danger. No gentleman wants to
take an insult and I will not. Re
spectfully, C. D. Wood.
P. S.—The statement that I was ar
rested and fined before a justice of the
peace is absolutely false, no matter
by whom made. 0. D. Wood.

Fayetteville, Aug. 29.—-The pros
pects for a successful foot ball season
this year at the university are much
brighter than in any of the past sea

rial is expected, as every old student
is and has been on the lookout for
good new men.

JONESBORO JAIL DELIVERY.
Six Prisoners Escape From Craighead
County Jail Saturday Morning—
Made Saws From Steel Springs
Taken From Their Shoes.
Jonesboro, Aug. 29.—Six negro
prisoners broke out of the county jail
at 4 o’clock this morning and made
their escape. The escape was discov
ered shortly after it occurred by
Jailer Stamper.
The prisoners, by means of tiles and
saws manufactured from the steel
springs taken from their shoes, had
cut the bars of the cage. They then j
escaped from the building by making
a hole in the brick wall. No watch
was kept at the jail, but the jailer
found all safe an hour before the de
livery.
Those who escaped were Arch Scott,
under sentence of death for killing his
mother-in-law in Mississippi county,
and whose case is pending in the su
preme court; Henry Smith, assault;
Win. Fox, Wm. Stout and Dink Tay
lor, burglary.
One negro was too large to get
through the hole in the wall and was
left behind. There were six other
prisoners, whites, in tne front cage,
who knew nothing of the escape until
this morning.
