A DASTARDLY ASSASSINATION
A Woman and Two Negroes Arrested.
The Former Charged With Hirin.
the latter 10 Murder He

Memphis, Tenn, August S.-The peo-
pie of Clarendon, Monroe county, Ar
kansas, are fearfully wrought up over
an assassination that took place there
on July Goth, and the developments of
which took place on Saturday and yes
terday. On the night of July 30th, J..
T. Orr, a prominent hardware mer-
chant of Clarendon, was murdered in
his house and now his wife n two ne
groes are in jail, the negroes being
charged with the murder direct, and
Mrs. Orr is charged with having pro-
cured their services to make way with
her husband. There was a demonstra-
ton there last night and a lynching
may yet be the climax
Orr was fOully murdered, having been
shot by some one through the window
of his home. The search for the gull
ty parties was fruitless until Saturday,
when the sheriff learned of a state
ment made a young woman that Mrs.
Orr knew something of the aSSasSina-
ton. 1t was charged that she hired a
negro named Dennis Record to kill Mr..
Orr. A negro named Manse Castle,
however, volunteered to do the work
for the same amount, so it was stated.
Record, Castle and Mrs. Orr were i'm
mediately placed under arrest. Yester-
day Castle said that he killed Orr and
charged that Mrs. Orr had hired him
to do the work.
Last night a great crowd gathered in
the public square, and it looked for a
time as if there would be a lynching.
Judge Thomas, who had just returned
from Des Arc, made a speech and made
an urgent appeal to the crowd not to
mob the prisoners. He announced he
would at once adjourn court at Lonoke
and try the prisoners. The crowd dis
persed and Mrs. Orr, who had been
kept in the court house since her ar
rest, was conveyed to jail.
Orr's life was insured for SIS, 900 in
the Knights of Pythias and Maccabees.
His wife is the beneficiary. While Cas-
tie alleges that Mrs. Orr hired him to
do the job, some conservative
citizens believe that Mrs. Orr is guilt
less and that a. trial will clear her.
There will be an examining trial Tues
day.

A RECENT REPORT OF SHAFTER
Is the story told by the New York

Is the story told by the New York
Washington true relative to General
Shafter? The Herald is apt to be
correct in its war news. 1t is to the
effect that the American commander
had lost heart at Santiago and : was
bent on a swift retreat. English SOL
diers Of distinction have condemned
his generalship in landing and ad-
vancing and fighting against such
heavy odds. They say he should have
landed and fortified and then called for
achievements. But ne advanced, got
into difficulties and on the night Of
End July was for beating a hasty re-
treat. The excuse is that he was "suf-
fering much in mind and body" He
called a council of war. At first there
we're present Generals Wheeler, Kent
and Sumner. The two latter counsel
ed an immediate withdrawal, but this
was vigorously opposed by General
Wheeler, who proposed to stay where
he was. Generals Lawton and Bates
were subsequently called in, and,
though both voted with General
| Wheeler to stand firm, a retreat was
| resolved upon by General Shafter.
All honor to the three. General
Wheeler knew nothing Of retreat.
|, He was for fighting. Shafter tele-
| graphed to Mckinley he would retreat
| for five miles. He was saved by the
| destruction of Cervera from this dis
aster, and disgrace it seems. Shafter
took heart when he heard the guns of
| SChley's sea fighters. We doubt if all
of Skaters conduct in Cuba were
faithfully given if it would give him
laurels Or endear him to Americans.
In this connection it will be we'll to
eral Wheeler. In his dispatches sent
to General Shafter from 18th June to
End July, he says:
"The positions our men carried were
| ely StIOIS duu Tie uLI0uCLluoutS
were very strong.
"a number of officers have appealed
| to me to have the line withdrawn and
| tax up a position further back, and
| expect they will appeal to you. |
have discountenanced this, as it would
| cost us much prestige" * # You
hardly realize the exhausted condition
of the troops"
Full of game and under most trying
! circumstances as appears in his report.
| General Kent is a regular United
States army officer. His report con
tains a most impressive tribute to
General Wheeler. Writing of this
touching and diseased commentator
the New York Times says:
1T is the tribute of a regular to a
veteran volunteer who has, perhaps
seen more fighting than almost any
i regular officer now in the service, and
who has prOfted by his experience.
Not only has the veteran himself pro-
fitted, but lie imparts the benefits of
his experience to the men who have
had less. This is prettily expressed
by General Kent: Though i'll and
suffering, General Wheeler was SO
perfectly at home under fire that he
inspired all of us with assurance"

Rev. DR.. Shearer is the able, schol-
arly, efficient president of Davidson
college. He sets an excellent example
of what a teacher of religious educa-

The last number of the North Carolina
Presbyterian says of him and his
views as to the university of North
Carolina:
He authorizes us to say for him
now, that the state institutions are
here to stay and that it is both patri-
otto and Christian to do all that is pos
sible to keep them free from abuses,
while the church-schools in fair and
honorable competition, serve the pur-
pose of lifting the state institutions
above the plane of politics, with it's
communications"
Davidson college is one of the col
leges in this state that under a broad,
generous, wise management has made
great strides, and has a strong grip
upon the confidence and highest in
telligence of the people all over North
Carolina. May it continue to widen
and prosper.

ticularly engaging to hear for he is
evidently a bright and resourceful

The Raleigh News-Observer last
week had an editorial that should not
be overlooked. It concerned the eff
forts of the rag-tags to get away with
the $50, 900 surplus in the hands Of the
agricultural board, John r. Smiths
concern. This sum is clearly in the
way. So long as it stands it is a per-
petual menace to the peace, happi-
ness and virtue of said board and all
others interested in its disbursement.
If our respected contemporary has the
right sow by the tail-not elegant
but suggestive-there are 222 soppers
and walters who are to be pie-fed, and
all at the discretion of that fellow
John R. of whom the fat governor
SO bitterly complained when he had
the penitentiary sop. This is a mar
vellous statement, and if the News
Observer is o misled it is a very
shameful affair: It says:
This surplus is to be used to en-
ploy fertilizer inspectors, and inspec-
tors for anything else hat may need
hat duty performed for it, except
John R. Smiths pe~nitentiary accounts.
These inspectors are to receive SIS per
month and will be employed for this
fall when the inspection business will
be flush. Now $50, 600 will employ
1929 inspectors at S75 per month for
a period of three mOnths-until after
the fall elections if the appointments
are delayed for a few days. s. =
Why was this surplus of $50, 900, which
was too good to be shared by the farm
ers, left to the tender mercies Of a
man whom the governor of the state
accused of gross mismanagement, if
not peculation, and who still refuses
to submit his accounts, in another de-
partment, to the inspection of the
public as the law directs?"
