interest there being many important
matter* concerning missionary work
brought up and discussed. -- r
The question of a girls' school lor
Gulfpoit was brought up aud the
same met with much favor.
Editorial Bchctf.
People have a tendenoy, It ap»
pears, to assert their present desirts
and antipathies by force, without the
regard for the rights of others which
civilization implies. This tendency
seems to grow. And must excite ap
prehensions. What are we coming
to? In proportion as we advnnce in
science, art and other forms of col
tury are we becoming indifferent to
law and order and ethically barba
rous? The remedy seems to be in re
form in the supervision of ths police
force and in the constitution of the
lower ranks of the judiciary, with a
view to a more intelligent and impar
tial punishment of offenders of every
order.—Baltimore Sun.
The recent return of a littla bnneb
of Georgia negroes from Monrovia, in
Africa, hungry, ragged, omuciated
and wretched, with nothing but theii
homeward fare, sent to them by their
former masters, goes to show that the
best place for the American negro i-i
in this country, and th it as good
friends as they can find anywhere are,
generally speaking, in tho south.—
Kansas City Star.
The new reading of President Mon
roe's famous message, which may o:
may not pass into history as flip
Roosevelt Doctrine," seems to be, as
revealed by the Panama incident:
1. No great power except the
United States, shall bully a little
South American nation.
2. No European power shall in
terfere with such bullying when the
United States finds it. convenient to
resort to it.—New York World.
A number of recently discovered
manuscripts containing alleged say
ings of Christ not found in tho Bible,
were made public last week at a
meeting of London Archaeologists.
But if men hear not the sermon cf
tli# Mount, neither will they hear the
new sayings—Atlanta Journal.
It se ims to be the opinion of many
of the leading statesmen and promi
nent newspapers that Mr. Roosevelt
lias put his feet in it in the Panama
matter.-- Pine Bluff Graphic.
Walker Wellford tried to play the
Joe Folk of Memphis, but he failed to
laud any boodlere.—Jonesboro Enter
prise.
Tha people who hate old Grover
are speaking in low tones these post
eloction days, aud walking slowly, ns
if they expected something to happen.
—Helena World.
The long and short of the Panama
revolution is tha? Uncle Sam lias
added another star to his banner.—
Fort Smith Elevator.
A cotton mill in Pine Bluff would
have a tendency to increase the
amount of ''all woolen" goods on the
local market.--Pine Bluff Commer
cial.
The dispatches announce that Ja
pan and Russia have reached an
agreement, so we will have to look
to Colombia and Panama for war
news for the next few weeks.—Ex.
Paragould Democrat.—The Balti
mor New#, relegating Ann to tlie
rear, asks this one: If A gives o
£ one each of all of the denomina
tions of money issued today by the
United Stntes, what is the total of
Vs gift to B?
understand such things bet f er by a

So far we have not #e#n any Hanna
literature in this end of the 6tate.
It vronld, however, be a waste of
material, for we are all for Hanna

Hautaville Tribune.
Spanish Gunners
Much has besu written aDd said
about the lack of skill on the part of
Spanish gunners during the brush
between the United States and Spain,
but one naval officer at least thiDks
there has been an erroneous impres
sion on this subject. He is Capt. H.
D. Smith, who has been in the ma
rine service for about forty years.
Oapt. Smith is now on duty on the
Virginia and Maryland coast, in
specting and drilling life-saving
crews. When I saw him on the Vir
ginia coast last summer he talked in
terestingly about the Spanish gun
■art. Raid ha: The idea that tha

Spaniards couldn't shoot is a mistake, I
judging from an experience I had j
with 'em. I was on the United States i
ennboat 'Morrel* daring the Cuban
blockade. For days we were moving
aooit doing blockade duty, and
things got mighty dull. One Sunday
my lookouts sighted a foreign ship in
the distance, and tho 'Morrel' started
under a full head of steam in pursuit.
We steered almost immediately under
Morro, and all of a sudden a big gun
belched forth. The next moment a
shell burst iinraediate'y to our lett.
The Spanish gunners not only had oar
exact range, but their fuses were
timed to the smallest fraction of a j
sreond. The pieces of shell all went
one way, fortunately for us, else we
would have been in a bad way. It
was a very narrow escape on our part,
and you can bet we were not slow to
get out of the way. There w«9 a sus
