ANNOUNCEMENTS.
For Chancellor.
The Time* i* authorl/.i-d to announce Judirc
J. K HI- ASI.F.Y. a* a candidate for Chancellor
of the Fifth Chancery Circuit, subject to the
action ot tho Il<* party at ita primary
election in March, lW*i. __
The tire last Monday thoroughly
demonstrated the fact that our
greatest need along the linoof tire
fighting is it first-class hook and
ladder outfit. There is no question
in our minds that if the fire laddies
bad had ladders with which they
could have reached the roof of the
Methodist church from the north
side they could have saved that
building intact without the loss ot
a shingle. We have the best fire
company on eurth, considering
tbeir opportunities and appliances,
and they have several times saved
the tow’n from great loss; but there
is a limit to the powers of all men
and things, unless supplemented by
scientific auxiliaries, and this is
what should bo done in this city.
The City Council could make no
safer or more popular appropria
tion than to provide a first-class
hook and ladder outfit to the brave
and tireless tire fighters.
THE BEGINNING <»l THE I.N 1>.
Governor Jeff Davis has been
called down.
It was left to St. Francis count} i
to have tho distinguished honor of!
making the Governor take a back
seat.
At the political barbecue and pic
nic at Stuart Springs on Thursday
of last week, Governor Jeff Davis
was the second speaker. He had
the stand for nearly two hours, and
was followed by Attorney General
Robert R. Rogers.
Several times during Rogers’
speech Gov. Davis attempted to in
terrupt, and tho crowd yelled him
down. At tho conclusion of the
Attorney General’s remarks, tho
wily Governor arose and asked for
hve minutes iu which to reply.
The vast throng ot from 2500 to
5000 people promptly told him that
he had had his say, and to sit down.
With his face almost brown with
humiliation the Governor took his
seat.
It is the first time in his career
when the “tables have been turned”
upon him, and he has been forced
to take a dose of hisown medicine.
It is an encouraging sign, and
looks like the beginning of the
end.
If all signs prove true, Senator
Berry will carry the county.
Hoad improvement is one of the
best methods ot building up a coun
try. The voters should see to it
at the next election that men who
believe in State and National aid
to road building are elected to the
legislature and to Congress. Mil
lions of money are spent evory
year on harbors and rivers, and
only a few people are benefited by
the expenditure, while the great
masses of the peoplo are com
pelled to pull and sweat over poor
roads because the cost of improve
ment is too great for the counties
and States to undertake it alone.
—Monroe County Citizen.
A Missouri editor gives the fol
lowing description of a good cit
izen: A good citizen is a man
who takes pride in his home
town, pays his honest debts,
speaks well of his neighbors,
takes his home paper and pays
for it, who doesn't squeeze every
twenty-five cent piece until the
agonized scream of the eagle can
be heard for a mile. lie will
measure twelve inches to the foot
every way, will bathe and change
his shirt once a week, and will
see that tho woman ho loves does
not have to uso a hedge fence for
a clothes lino or break up ash
barrels for fuel.

A newspaper should be judged
by its average upon the whole,
and not upon any one net of omis
sion or commission. No editor
publishes a paper above criticism.
If the writer is honest he is bound
to offend some one every week in
his life. It he does not offend he
is flabby, truculent, namby pam
by. Every newspaper makes mis
takes, but in the long run, week
alter week, year after year, the
paper stands for decency, for
; right living, for honest thinking,1
j if it speaks fair lor those who are
doing right and condemns sneaks,
cheats and violators of law—then
i it deserves patronage. We only
ask that The Times be measured
up, judged and patronized by this
! very standard.

Southern Cotton Association.
President B. II. Burnett, of tlie Ar
kansas I »i vision of tiie Soutliern ( ot
ton \ssociation. visits tlie city and
delivers a stirring addrses to tlie lo
cal Association and to a fair sized
audience of citizens not meniliers.
President Burnett came to the city
Saturday morning from his home at
('hickalah. Yell county, in response to
an invitation extended him by tlie St.
Francis ('minty I livislon of tlie South
ern Cotton Association, it lieing tlie
date lor t lie elect ion of officers of t hat
Imd.v to serve for tiie ensuing year.
At p. m.. at tlie courtiiouse. tlie (
Association was called to order by
Secretary Caines, and Mr. .1. P. Mc
Donald was chosen temporary chair
man in the alisence of Chairman S. M.
Blalock, and after reading of tlie min-;
utes of tin* last meeting, the Chair-!
man introduced Mr. Burnett.
'Pile speaker reviewed tlie history of
the Soutliern Cotton Association from
its birth to tlie present time: told of
its si niggle in combatting its formi
dable enemies the cotton gamblers:
tlie herculean task of financiering tlie
•J,non.non bales of "surplus" cotton,
which tlie gamblers would have the
country lielieve existed last Decern tier
and which had the effect of causing
the disastrous break in tlie price of
the staple, a condition which every
cotton raiser or holder throughout tlie
county rememlrers hut too well: ex
plained that this strenuous condition
was tlie cause of tlie origin of the Asso
ciation. and that its ultimate achieve
ments have wrought wonders in the
cotton market, and saved the South
over two hundred million dollars in
tlie short space of six months. How
Mr. Cheatham and Mr. Jordan, of tlie
Association, wardedtla*lion mliisden
lias lieen published far and wide: how
they ixddly invaded the bureau of sta
tistics in Washington and proved t<>
Mr. Wilson, the head of the bureau,
that his office had been furnishing ad
vance information to the gamblers,
thereby reaping a harvest at the ex
i pense of the toilers of tlie cotton
I fields: told his hearers that east oft lie
Mississippi 11 i ver the organization had
Igrown to Mattering proportions, and
that the order was non-|>o1ii ical. and
had at its head and in its ranks some
! of the brightest and the brainiest men
the country afforded. He especially
called the attention id' all business
! men to the importance of lending
their moral and financial aid to this
Association, tirst by advising with
1 heir customers and encouraging them
to join and support their county or
precinct organization: and. second,
to he liberal with their donations in
helping their local associations to es
tablish themselves. W'c are sorry
[that want of space forbids us follow
ing the speaker to the end of his re
marks. Wcftwill have something in
our next issue regarding his address
which will .be made at Caldwell to
morrow. President llurnett is* an
.earnest speaker, and lie impresses you
wit 11 the convict ion that lie believes
every word lie utters. We predict a
big crowd for him Saturday.
