Ik hero shown watering the camels of Abraham's servant, who hud been hunt t Mesopotamia In search of a brtde for his master's son - (Kiutu tin- Pluto-Dram- a of Crrntlon ) Defeat and Victory. Commenting on the results of the recent election, the Nashville Banner considers the defeat of i Roger Sullivan, Democratic nominee for senator from Illinois, a Democratic victory, notwithstanding the support of the national administration and the of Boise Penrose, Republican nominee for senator from Pennsylvania, a defeat for the Republican party. The Banner holds that the election of Sullivan would have placed a burden on the Democratic party that it would be em barrassing and difficult for it to carry in the next campaign, and that the of Penrose likewise places a load on the Republicans that no party seeking preferment should desire to carry, i After expressing these very un- - usual views, the Banner summur-- 1 izes by remarking that "contrary as it may seem to the temporizing politician, and as contradictory as it may be to his creed, the thinking man who cares to analyze the situation will iind in these results for the Democrats victory in defeat and for the Republicans defeat in victory." There are many, both Democrats and Republicans, who on second thought, will agree with the Banner. Sullivan would have been a liability to the Democratic party, as Penrose is to the Republican. The election results in llli-noi- s and Pennsylvania reduced the Democratic majority in the United States Senate, but they will prove far more disastrous to the Republicans when they again go before the people with Penrose a part of their platform. Verily is there defeat in victory and victory in defeat. New St. Louis Star Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Meatte have the thunks of the Herald for the nice spare rib they donated to a good cause last Thursday.

For the same reason that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country, it may be said that the opportunities and advantages in any section arc rarely ever as keenly appreciated at home as abroad. For several years the papcis have been advertising tlie diamond fields in Pike County, Arkansas, vet to thifc day the people of Arkansas have apparently been skeptical about the genuineness of the claims for these diamond mines. However, recognition lias been secured from outside sources, as will be seen from the following article appearing in a recent issue of I'op-.ula- r Mechanics, which says: "Pike County, Arkansas, has several diamond mines which are being operated on a commercial basis. One day a poor tanner, living near Murl'reeshoro, while sitting on a rock brooding over his troubles, had his attention attracted by a small pebble glistening in the sunlight. Curious as to its nature, he picked it up and carried it to the town merchants; on being forwarded to a Little Hock jeweler it was learned that the stone was in reality a white diamond of excellent quality, weighing 4 -2 karats, and in a few weeks the farmer sold his property for .3J),000. "This was the start in Pike County's mining industry. A typical diamond bearing formation of several acres was found to exist where the first stone was picked up. .Since the beginning of operations one company has removed 1,400 stones, with an aggregate weight of fr0 karats. The exact yield of the other mines is not known, the results having been kept secret, but it is approximated at .'1,000 diamonds of unknown weight. The largest stone no far discovered and officially reported weighed S 2 karats. While the sizes are no) unusual, the quality is saitl to be exceptional, many of the diamonds being as flawless as arc ordinarily found. The fields, moreover, are said to he relatively rich. The celebrated Dc Peers and Kiniber-l- y mines of Africa grade 31 karats, approximately, and are as rich as any in tlie world, while the first 'pipe' uncovered in Arkansas has tested 20 karats. The grading is computed in the number of karats recovered from 100 loads of earth, each amounting to Mi cubic feet. "The plants now running at the Arkansas fields are, however, not large, and the work is yet in only the earliest stage of development. The digging lias been limited to shallow excavations covering sev eral acres, and the mining so tar done is more in the nature of a test." J. F. Scott transacted business in Caruthorsviile last Thursday. With every Five Dollars cash you spend at Buckley's you get a nice present. Convict Labor to Stop. Kinitl arrangements for the withdrawal of the Star Clothing Company from the prison shops the latter part of February were made at a meeting oi the State Board of Prison Inspection today. The linn employs 1,000 convicts, each of whom earns for the State "." cents a flay. It is expected that for the time being other contractors will supply work tor tlie hulk of the men now employed by lite clothing company. When the Legislature assembles in .lanuary it will be confronted with the proposition of providing work for ahout 2,400 convicts. Most of the contracts will expire at the close of the present year, and the State Board of Prison Inspectors has no authority to enter into new ones. The last of the "isling contracts will expire next .rune. The earnings of the penitentiary now amount to about SrUS.OOO a month. This practically supports llic institution. -- St. Louis Republic.

A contributor said: "Two burglars entered the home of P. M. Owiu while all were absent and carried off some spare-rib- s and bread." Riley Henderson was in town, looking as fat as ever. Said he had been eating pumpkin and I'.orn bread, and promised to send us a pumpkin. The old file says: "Brack Gas-ki- n did a good deed when lie put sawdust on the street crossings." Brack is now street commissioner and this week covered a few more muddy places with the ever helpful sawdust. J. P. Davault and wife were to leave in a few days for a visit to relatives in Pulaski, 111. Mr. Davault was then one of Hayti's prosperous merchants. He left here soon after that and, with Mrs. Davault, has traveled extensively in Europe and the Old World. Their home is now in Southern Illinois. Again this week Hayti friends hud the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Davault, Mr. Davault being connected with and head manager of the motion pictures and THE HAYTI HERALD Photo-dram- a of Creation, which are now being shown in this section of the country under the auspices of the International Bible Students Association.

BUCKLEY Rice's 5 & 10 HAYTI, Ch.uneleon Nutty Walker claims to bo running a newspaper, and he is pretty free in discussing things concerning other people. But it seems he has studiously refrained from saying anything about that important news item of the 8102,000 libel suit of J. S. Wahl and P. J. Cunningham against himself. Usually, when a newspaper gets up against a libel suit, it is glad to publish all the facts for the information of its readers. We are sure Old Nutty knows all about the facts in this case. The three Caruth-ersvill- u papers say P. J. Cunningham obtained a judgment against Old Nutty. Now, why does not Old Nutty come out and relate the facts? We do not know of but one answer, and we believe the people can see the point. Benj. P. Ellis, state organizer for the Order of Owls, is here for the purpose of organizing a nest, and expects to do so this week. The special charter fee is $5.00, which is reduced from $10.00. The monthly dues is 50 cents, and there are no assessments. The Order of Owls has many redeeming features, chief among which are: To aid the sick, bury the dead, and in ject sunshine into dark places. They are not saints simply dis burses of practical Christianity. There are no Owls in the Potters' Field or County Shroud. They live by the way and lend unto the Lord, for they give unto the poor. Their mission is to do good. They hold high above all other things, as high as hope's great throbbing star, above the darkness of the dead, the love of wife and children, home and friend.

To enable our people to more fully understand the error in Pemiscot county in planting so much cotton, we have published from time to time government statistics, as the present cotton crop is harvested, and our last report is quite a surprise, showing that up to December 1, 1014, there has been ginned in Pemiscot county 18,8."() bales, against 13,885 bales for the same period last year, being greater than all former crops in production and acreage. The acreage in Missouri this year was 122,000 against 112,000 last year, and the production 75,000 bales against 07,000 last year, while the average price received this year is G.8 against 12.2 last year. It is easy to see, therefore, increasing our acreage and production, and receiving little more than half the price ol last year, cotton growers are bound to suffer, and the only way to avoid a repetition of this suffering is to control the market by reducing the acreage, which reduces the supply, and the reduced supply will increase the price. To have the proper effect the same plan must be adopted generally over the,eutire South, which this year produced about 15.0(50,000 bales, against 14,156,-00- 0 last year, and received about half the price received last year. It is just a little difficult to run an honest newspaper: The people are sometimes hard to convince ol a fact and slow to see a point. But they are fast becoming to realize that the Herald knows neither friend or foe, and that its mission is for the general public good. Many people, after monr.hs of battle for right, are now seeing that the Herald knew every inch of ground it took; that we had the courage to stand up openly and boldly in the face of the most tremendous odds and battle for truth and honor. It is our honest opinion that the most bitter enemy we ever had, man or woman, today realizes the purpose of ihe Herald, and that we have their most profound inner respect. .Top Moad, Caruthersville, came over Monday to cast his lot with Hayti, and forms another valuable asset from our sister city.

Wahl and P. J. Cunningham against Chameleon Nutty Walker should have been tried, instead of going before the court as the law requires and as honorable men are supposed to do, Old Nutty wrote Judge Prank Kelly j a long letter, wanting the cases continued. What effect, if any, the letter had on Judge Kelly, we do not know, but the act was characteristic ot Old Nutty. No such thing was ever heard of before, and could have no possible legal bearing on a court, before which a man must come, either by himself or through his attorneys, and plead his cause. Unfortunately, the day before the trial Judge Kelly had discharged the jury, and as the case went by default, Old Nutty failing to put in an appearance, we are told Judge Kelly declined to as sess the amount of damages, claiming that the damages should be assessed by a jury. At the present term of court, however, we learn from the Caruthersville papers, the Republican, Democrat and Argus, that P. J. Cunningham took judgment by default for $500, Old Nutty failing for the second time to appear in court and face the man whose character he had libeled and defamed. We are told, however, that the judge has the matter under advisement, and thereby hangs a tale. We shall keep our weather eye on the matter, and will publish the facts in the case. So far, we do not know what disposition has been made of the J. S. Wahl case for libel, but we cannot believe Mr. Wahl will stand under the charges made by Old Nutty by not prosecuting his case to a finish. Dr. Mayes reports the arrival of a young lady at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Nunn, near town, Wednesday morning. Gairal Walker, the little son of Mr and Mrs. W. H. Walker, is seriously ill of pneumonia. Checker Boards and Dominoes at Buckley's..
