JAMES NEVILLE JOHNSON.

James Neville Johnson, for four suc- cessive terms the mayor of this city, and one of it's oldest citizens, died at his home on Laurel street at 10 o'clock Friday morning, September 6, 1901.
 He was taken sick one week ago to the day, but his condition was not considered critical until Wednesday, when pneumonia, with which he had been attacked, assumed malignant form. Though unconscious Thursday, his last hours were calm; he was able to call for and recognize the loved ones about his bedside.
 He was born October 6, 1S42, in Crittenden county of this state, nov ing to this county in 1870, where he has since resided. In 1875, he was united in marriage to Miss Hattie Hamilton, who with one sister, Mrs. Wm. Wright of Independence county, survive him of the close relations. To them is extended the sympathy of a community who knew the deceased and admired him as citizen and man.
 James N. Johnson was for six years justice of the peace in this township and for four successive terms, he was elected to the highest municipal of- flee. Genial and popular he added to this the respect of his fellow citizens. They believed in him and entrusted him with public office.
 Though without the pale of the church organization, he was moral, honest and truthful He was pre- -emi- nently a good man and though alm ost an invalid in his last years, his de- parture is regretted by all who knew him.
 The funeral services will be held at the home of the deceased, conducted by Rev. J. w. Smith, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, followed by burial at Walnut Grove Cemetery.

WALLEY-HART

Mrs. Ida B. Valley of Pulaski coun- ty, Arkansas, and MT. B. J. T. Hart of this city, were married upon Tuesday evening by Justice J. J. Martin at his residence.
 Mrs. Valley, who made a very comedy bride, arrived upon the 9:25 D. m. train and was met at the depot by her intended husband, the couple re- pairing at once to Justice Martins home, where the ceremony was per- formed.
 The bride is but 29 years of age, while the groom is 20 years her senior. The marriage we trust, may prove a happy one. The groom is in the em- ploy of Teter & Son and has many friends here who offer him congratu- lations. MT. and Mrs. Hart have ar ranged to board at the Cook House.

The state of Arkansas Wednesday filed a demurrer and motion to dis miss in Pulaski chancery court in the suit brought by the Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing company, praying an injunction against the state to re- strain interference with the convict contract entered into between that company and the state two years ago. The contract was annulled by the state board of penitentiary commissioners August 13, effective October 15, and on August 15 an application was made by the Arkansas Brick and Manufac- turing company for an injunction. The demurrer alleges eight grounds for contention, one of which states that the pretended contracts relied upon by complainant were unreason- able and injurious to the state, and one- sided, and altogether for the ad- vantage of the complainant and not the state, and, if allowed to continue, will operate prejudicially to the state. The motion to dismiss is based upon the constitutional ground that the state cannot be sued.

STATE NEWS NOTES.


 Hon. H. L. Remmel, of Little Rock. who this week purchased the State Republican, has announced the selec- tion of George W. Hardness as editor, and that he will assume charge of the paper next week.
 Attorney General Murphy has ren- dered an opinion as to the formation of new senatorial district in the case of the 22nd district, which will be of interest over the state. It is as follows: My opinion is that when a new senatorial district is formed, in- cluding county in which a senator of one of the districts as formerly existed resides, he is the senator from the new district and will represent it until his term expires; but that where no senator resides in any county of the new district one residing therein will have to be elected. I can see no other conclusion.n
 Governor and Mrs. Jefferson Davis and Miss Lucy Thatch, Mrs. Davis sister, joined the Second Baptist Church of this city Sunday by letters issued by the Baptist Church of Rus sellville. The morning services were conducted by Rev. MT. Autry, of Springdale. At the conclusion of his sermon, Superintendent of Public h. struction J. J. Doyne, who is mem Der of that church, arose and asked that the congregation remain in con- ference. On motion of Hon. M. F. Locke, MT. Doyne was chosen moder- ator, and thereupon the clerk came forward and read the letters of the governor, his wife and sister in law. Miss Thatch. The letters were ac- cepted, and on motion the candidates were received into full fellowship. After short prayer the audience arose, and while an old-time hymn waa sung, the congregation extended the right hand of fellowship to the new members.-Democrat.
 An informal meeting of the Execu- tive Committee of Honorary Worlds Fair Commission was held Tuesday in the Supreme Court room. The fol- lowing members were present: s. A. Williams, Fort Smith; J. c. Yancey, Batesville; A. Bertif, Paragould; w. P. Fletcher, Lonoke. Sam Cohen Holly Grove, member of the Worlds | Fair Directory for Arkansas, was also present part of the time. There was a general discussion of proposed plans for the building to be erected and the | to be made at the Fair, and | all agreed that it should be made one l of the greatest events in the history | of the state. The following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, that we re- quest the vice. president of each coun- ty, through his local organization, to report to George H. Grayson, secre- tary, Philadelphia, Ark, the different | classes, quantity and quality of their chief products that can be furnished | by their respective counties, such re- port to be furnished on or before De- cember 1, 1901. Resolved, that we re- commend that the several counties of | the state, through their honorary commissions, organize their county ladies' auxiliary as provided by reso lution passed by the Honorary Com missioners' Convention on August 1, 1901." The subject of county organi- zation occupied the entire afternoon session of the committee. The plan by the recent State Conven- ton was adopted.

 Virginia leads the Southern States in the number of books printed, hay ing 2S5 to her credit, then follow South Carolina, 19s; North Carolina, n; Georgia, 56; Alabama, 2S; Mississippi, 19; Louisiana. 21; and Texas. 8. Ten nessee has published 34; Kentucky, 70; Missouri, 26, and Arkansas, 8. It Is scarcely credible that only three books have come out of Texas, and we shall expect the newspapers of that great State to vindicate the authors of their State. If there have been but three of them, let us have their names, and the titles of the books they pub llshed. Perhaps the prosperity of that State is in part due to the fact that it raised hogs and hominy and let poetry and philosophy severely alone.

THE BOYS, BANNER"
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
 The Register has received the first number of the semi-monthly publication of the Boys Industrial School at East Lake. It is entitled "The Boys Banner" and Is typed and printed by the boys un- der the foremanship of Assistant Super- intendent J. R. Embree. It Is almost plaintive. this little eight pages of greeting and appeal to the good people of Alabama who have worked for and are working for this establishment where good morals and industry are taught the abandoned white boys of Alabama. In thanking the ladies of Mobile and es- pecially the Shakespeare Club, the paper says Tt was a God send that was fully appreciated. We hope the ladies who so generously solicited the bedding, and the donors as well, may visit the school some day, and see for themselves the work we are trying to do for the boys of Alabama. and we know they will never regret the time, labor and money they have expended to help on the good work" The dormitory has been fur nished with neat iron bedsteads, part of which are donations from certain clubs and individuals. A silver plate Is to be put upon each donated bed. One of these bright pieces of metal will bear the words "Whistler Club"

Oil aud Coal.

The Philadelphia Times has discov- cred that Texas oil promises to become "a formidable competitor" with Penn sylvania coal, but it seems to think the competition relates to Texas alone. It foresees that Pennsylvania coal will be driven out of Texas, if the supply of oil should prove extensive and last ing; but it fails to see that the wells in the Beaumont district are nearer New Orleans than they are San An tonic or even Austin or Dallas. What can be piped or carried to Texas cities can be piped, or carried by water, to New Orleans and Vicksburg and Mem phis.
 As about four barrels of Texas oil are an equivalent of ton of Penn sylvania soft coal, it is plain that a few more gushers will threaten the entire Pennsylvania coal trade of the Lower Mississippi. Alabama coal can be laid down in New Orleans much cheaper than Pennsylvania coal can be, and between Texas oil and Alabama coal, the Pennsylvania product is no longer secure of a market in the Lower Mississippi country. It is an inter- loper at the best, and it should be driven out.
 If the Warrior were opened the Pennsylvania coal business in the Lower Mississippi would quickly dis appear, for the barge at the mine would then pass through the Lake Borgne canal directly into the Mis- sissI~pi, and the carrying charge would not exceed fifty cents ton. It is now $1.25 a ton.
 Open the Warrior. This would drive Pennsylvania back to the Ohio river, which should be its southern limit. If Texas oil can fill the field until the Warrior is opened, well and good. Vel come Texas oil. for Alabama coal will have field enough left when the War rior is opened.

LEADERS OF MAcHINIsTs' STRIKE

From the Chicago Record Herald. James O'Connell, who will direct the action of 100000 American machinists in the present strike, is the head of the In- ternational Association of Machinists, and one of the most successful organizers of labor in America. He was born 4S years ago in Minersville, Pa. and was appren- ticed to the trade of machinist at 15. After the Knights of Labor began to de- cline MT. OConnell stirred himself to ac- tion in the labor field. He rose rapidly in his union, was elected president in 1892 and has since remained in that office. During his rule the union grew from 4000 to 55, 900 in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Since 1895 he has been a vice president of the American Federation of Labor. As an executive the leader of the machinists is said to be very capable. He has oftfn been used as a mediator be- tween labor and capital and has managed to bring about peaceful settlements in not few imporatnt disputes. The only train ing he has had in education was that which he received in the public schools of oil City, Pa. where he spent his boy hood, s

THE FILIPINOS HAVE NO
 LOVE FOR AMERICANS
BY ALBERT HALsTEAp.

might infame the Filipinos if twelve thousand of them were under arms, as the new army bill authorizes. A race that recognizes the hot head and makes it an excuse for crime is hardly to be trust ed"
 The editor of the Argonaut makes a mistake in stating that the idea of arming the Filipinos is a pet idea of the Presi- dents. The fact Is that this suggestion came from the Philippine commission, that that body, in one of it's reports went extensively into the question and after, as it thought, carefully considering every phase of the case and discussing it with army officers came to the conclusion that the United States could we'll follow the example of Great Britain and avail it. self of the service of Filipinos as the British do of the several races in India. It was as a result of the recommendation of the Philipine commission, which was sent to Congress by the President with out either approval or condemnation, that the new army law contained provision for the enlistment and organization into batallons, under American officers, of Filipinos,, not to exceed twelve thousand in number. The War Department has not taken advantage of this provision. Only the Macabbee scouts are utilized, and there is no present prospect of the organ ization of any large Filipino force. The War Department Is considering that ques- tion carefully and going slow. It may be determined that 1t is better not to create such a force lest 1t become dan gerous In critical times. The drift of opinion, so far as it can be learned, is against organizing a Filipino force. If it is organized 1t certainly will not num- Der twelve thousand men for some time to come A couple of thousand men will be the limit for some time and possibly no Fiipinos will be organized as mili- tary force. Certain 1t is, however, that some army officers approve the idea, but the most of them think 1t would be a dangerous experiment, at least for several years.
