The Press Association.

The goth annual meeting of the Arkansas Press Association met at Camden on the 17th, 18th and 10th. Much business was transacted and many interesting essays read. A re- port was adopted favoring amendments to the libel law, making the author of a libelous article jointly liable with the publishers, and allowing the editor as soon as possible after publication to show that no malice existed and that no libel was intended, in which case, in the suit for damages, the libeled party can recover only actual damages, which must be proven. A report favoring the reduction on rates for le- gal advertisement WAS voted down. The members fail to practice what they preach. The officers elected for the next year are as follows:
 President, E F lobe; vice-presidents, Leon Roussan, 0 c Ludwig, F. l. Civ ems; corresponding secretary, k lobe; financial secretary, w NJ Kavanaugh; recording secretary, J q Thompson; orator, W NJ Neal, poet, T B Martin; executive committee, F K Hynson; G k Williams, l.

 Those negroes who are attempting to make the lynching of individuals of their race means for arousing the worst passions of their kind are play ing with a dangerous sentiment The negroes may as we'll understand that there is no mercy for the negro rapist and little patience with his defenders A negro organ printed in this city, in a recent issue, publishes the following atrocious paragraph:
 Nobody in this section of the country believes the old thread bare lie that negro men rape white women. If Southern white men are not careful they will overreach themselves and public sentiment will have reaction; and conclusion will be reached which will be very damaging to the moral reputation of their women.
 The fact that black scoundrel is allowed to live and utter such loath- some and repulsive calumnies is a volume of the evidence as to the won derfui patience of the Southern whites. But we have had enough of it. There are some things that the Southern white men will not tolerate, and the obscene intimations of the foregoing have brought the writer to tue very outermost limit of public patience We hope we have said enough.

 DEAR SIRs-I would like to add my testimony to the almost miraculous effect of r. F. r. in the case of Mary Ingraham, a woman living on my place; she had a constant cough, sore throat, debility, etc., and was emaciated to degree that she was unable to get out of bed unaided, being given up by physicians; she had taken the so-called ruinous Blood medicine without the least .effect, until being put under the P. P. F., she immediately began to improve and is now in as good health as ever in her life. You can refer to me at any time as to the effect of P. F. r. in the foregoing case.
 Yours truly.

log walls between her and the wild
beast, the brave little maiden stopped
to listen. There was a fearful racket
going OF within, and carefully peeping
through chink, she saw the panther
making desperate leaps in a futile en-
deavor to reach the hole near the ridge
pole, where he had got in.
Seeing that she had him penned tho
brave girl conceived bold plan. and,
quickly putting bride on to horse,
she mounted bareback and rode at full
speed, with the child in her arms, to
the nearest neighbours, mile or two
from her own home. There she left
the child, and, borrowing an old
musket, the only gun left on the place,
she hastily loaded it with heavy
charge of buckshot and fastened home
ON the plea that there was big buck
close to the house that she wished to
kill. She found her unwelcome visitor
still In his involuntary prison, and,
jumping off the horse, she crept up to
the side of the great chimney and
peered through chink as before. The
panther had dragged down the carcass
of the deer and was feasting on it in
the middle of the floor. Carefully
thrusting the muzzle of her gun
through the chink, she took deliberate
aim just behind the brute's ear as he
stood not ten feet away and pulled ths
trigger.
The noise and recoil Of the old flint
lock piece quite stunned her for mo-
ment, but she quickly regained her
wits. and, looking in, she saw the
panther stretched dead upon the floor.
Just then her mother rode up and
would hardly believe the story her ex-
cited daughter told her until, the door
being opened, there lay the proof-a
panther, nearly ten feet from tip to tip.
The great hunt ended without anything
being slain to which the depredations
on the sheep could be attributed, but
when the assembled hunters saw the
great brute that Sallie had laid low
they all agreed that this was without
doubt the author of the losses in their
focks, and the fact that from that time
those losses ceased would seem to prove
the correctness Of their theory. Ex-
animation showed that the panther had
found the spot where Dulin had killed
and dressed his deer the night previous
and had then followed the trail, prob
ably guided by the drops of blood that
had fallen from the game as it was car
ried HON until, reaching the cabin
and goaded by hunger and the scent Of
the fresh meat inside, he had leaped on
to the roof and met his fate at the hand
of the pioneers brave daughter, as we
have seen.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Christmas chase evidently intended
combining business with pleasure, and
energy and purpose was in every eve as
they divided into their appointed
companies and set out for the day.
Dulins cabin was left to the care of
his wife and only daughter. girl Of
perhaps fifteen years of age, and soon
after the hunters had started away
Mrs. Dulin mounted her riding horse
and set forth to visit neighboring
matron, living three or four miles dis
tant, giving her daughter directions as
to the care of the baby, and the prep
aration of dinner at the usual hour, as
she expected TO return by that time.
Sallie Dulin was too well used to the
life of the woods to fear anything be-
falling her simply because she was
the nearest neighbours. Everything
went well, and the dinner W as simmer
ing in the fireplace, the baby quietly
sleeping in its cradle. and Sallie her
self busily knitting at stocking, when
suddenly she was startled by most
unearthly voice from the woods close
behind the house! Il was a cry as OF Q

" froze the blood in her veins.
The door of the cabin stood wide
open, and Sallie's first move was 70
rush to it and close it, fasteningI from
within with its heavy wooden latch.
There was no window to the little
house, and although she surveyed IS
much of the yard as possible through
sundry places where the "chinking'
had dropped from between the logs,
she could see nothing alarming, and, as
the cry was not repeated, she began 20

be a,moss persuaded that she had i'm

be almost persuaded that she had inn
agined it all. when again that blood
curdling cry rose, this time close at
hand, and instantly followed by the
sound of some heavy body lighting on
the roof, proving that the animal. what
ever it was, was of no common activity.
The cabin was rooted, pioneer fashion,
with split ''clapboards" held in place
by heavy poles, and the movement OF
the animal caused a few OF the clap
boards to be displaced, letting light
low. Sallie had snatched the babe out
of it's cradle and stood in the center Of
the room, terribly frightened, but
plucky and ready to fly for safety If it
became necessary. Looking up through
the new-made opening in the roof, she
could make out the shape of some huge
gray beast, and a great paw, armed
with terrible claws, striking the clap
boards until they flew right and left,
like chips from the ak of skillful
woodsman.
It was evident that the panther, for
such Sallie now recognized the beast to
be, was determined to enter the house,
SO, quickly stepping to the door, she
carefully raised the latch and stood. not
yet daring to 60 outside, and yet afraid
to remain too long within. A sudden
slipping of the clapboards under the
panther's feet so enlarged the hole that
he slipped and fell, much to his sur
prise, rear end foremost, down into the
room. Sallie saw her chance, and as
the panther came in at the roof she fed
out at the door, with the child in her
arms, and closing the door from the
outside as she ran. Once with the stout
