Very SanSlhle.

SHERIFF GEO. 7. HARRELL, of Sebastian
county is quoted as saying in regard to
Gov. Jones recent proclamation pro-
hibiting the importation by coal mine
operators Of disorderly negroes and
others to take the places of striking
miners: 81 simply have to obey the
law. | cannot prevent the importation
of negroes into this state unless l nave
proof that they are coming here for a
lawless purpose or are in danger of dis
seminating disease. The constitution
of the United States gives all men the
right to go wherever they please and
indulge in any calling they see fit so
long as that calling is lawful. The
governors proclamation does not pro-
hibit the importation of negroes, neither
does the injunction of Judge Rowe, Sc
long as those negroes are free from
disease, and come for a lawful
purpose. l would be liable for a suit
for damages if l would make a mistake
and stop men who do not come within
the provision of the governor &
proclamation and Judge Rowe in
junction. and of course in those suitf
my bondsmen would be made CO.
defendants. | am going to follow the
law and beyond that | will not go.

'When the breath of scandal touches
