The Governor Says the People Have Right to Such Legislation as They Want, and He Pro- poses to Respect Their
 Wishes.
Gazette.

The most definitee information that Gov. Jones can give out rela- tive to the time for the extra session of the Legislature is that it will not be before May 1.
 My present judgment Is that the extra session will not be called for q time earlier than that, said Gov. Jones Saturday to Q Gazette repre- sentative. q may change my views as to the exact time" he continued, but you may say the extra session will not begin earlier than May l.o
 The Governor was asked this question: If the Legislature had passed the necessary appropriation bills, but no railroad commission measure, would you have called them back to consider the railroad commission question alone?
 He replied: "I most certainly would have done so, because it is Il measure demanded by the people. and by the Democratic platform of the State. In my opinion the peo- pie have u right to such legislation as the want, and while l am Gov ernor 1 shall respect their wishes when know them.

coRBETT WILL WIN.
Declares Shadow Maber the weii-Known
 Local Boxer.

Local Boxer.
 Being asked his opinion of the ett-Fitzsimmons fight to take place next Wednesday, Shadow Maber, the well-known local boxer who recently fought two ten round battles to a draw with Billy Layton before the Pine Bluff Athletic Associ- ation, said this morning to 8 GRAPHIC reporter:
 .sCorbett will win. It will simply be the triumph of science over strength. It will be the Sullivan Gorbett fight over again. Fitz is said to be hard hitter but it must be remembered that at the time of the Gorbett-Suliivan mill, Sullivan was conceded to be the hardest hitter that ever lived, yet Gorbett defeated him in a 2l-round battle. One blow would have settlet Corbett yet that blow Sullivan never deliver cd Again, look at the fight betweed Coi hett and Jackson; at the time of hat fight I believe Jackson could have defeated any other man in the world, Sullivan included, yet Corbett fought him for 61 rounds, at which time it was decided by the referee as ''no contest" because both of the men were physically unable to furth- CT continue the fight. Corbett has fought the hardest hirters in the world, and yet has won, and in this connection it must be remembered that Fitz has never fought either Jackson or Sullivan.
 Mo- sir; it will be i'll this fight as in the others in which Corbett has en- gaged, intelligence, science and skill will win, and Corbett is the most intelligent, clever and skilled fighter that has eyer entered n prize ring.
 sIF Corbett is in the fifst-class con- dition he is reported to be, he will win the fight next Wednesday,.

Ed. L.

No matter what the versatile Ed. may say in extenuation, a great many people in Arkansas will always believe that the only reason for locating the court at such an out-of-the-way and inconyenient place as Batesville, was simply to reprove Fulton county, especially for supporting Brundidge in the recent campaign and defeating Neill, thereby disturbing aour happy Washington family. ."--Jonesboro Sun

Ashville, Ala, May 26.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-The commencement exer- cises of Ashvflle Academy began on Sun day May 22, and closed on Tuesday. right The sermon on Sunday by pr. C. M. Glenn, of Attalla, was a literary treat, 1t was profound, eloquent and sublime, being in fact a finished pulpit ovation
 On Monday night the exercises con- sisted of recitations and music by the primary department and literary ad- dress by Prof. James K. Powers, of Florence. The eminent educator had se- lected a subject well suited to the occa- sion and to his great ability. "An Ideal School System" From first to last his address was interesting and instructive, and will be long remembered by our peo- pie.
 On Tuesday at 10 a. m. there was de- bate on the subject, Which Has Occa- stoned More Evil to the World, Ignor- ance, Poverty or Riches" and the de- baters on these respective sides were w. D. Partlow. A B. Wyatt and George Mathews These young men discussed this subject with surprising ability, dis playing brilliant and originality of thought The ca test was a very close ione, but was decided in favor of w. D. PartloW on the side of ignorance. The exercises closed on Tuesday night with concert by the higher grades and a literary address by Hon. Samuel l.. Rob- erson, of Birmingham Prof. Roberson is most pleasing and entertaining talk er and his address on. this occasion did him full justice.
 This closes the third year of this school under the management of Prof. B. B. Moore. He has proven himself to be a teacher of high order and deserves to be retained in the position which he has filled with such general satisfaction.
