 CONSIDERABLE surprise, and some indignation, was mani sested last week when it was announced that the state board of charities had dis. placed Col. O. C. Gray as superintendent of the Arkan. sas School for the Blind, giv. ing the position to Dr. John H. Dye. Col. Gray has, so far as we are able to learn, conduct ed the institution in a manner. satisfactory to all and there ap. pears to have been no cause for removing him except, pos sibly, to serve the selfish inter. ests of some politician. Col. Gray formerly resided at Fay etteville, and ais friends throughout this section will be glad to know that the board has decided to give him a hear ing at their July meeting.

 Gov. Jones has again exer- cised his pardoning power in Benton county and gave free dom to Mike Gallyon, convict. ed in three cases at the last term of court of selling liquor without license.

From all accounts Gall yon ran a joint at Rogers for a year and openly defied the law This case. like others in which Gov. Jones has issued pardons to offenders in this county, seems to be where the party was most guilty.
