buQ MCSounell Uut.
 B. T. Mcconnell, state super- intendent of the penitentiary, ten- dered his resignation, which was ac- cepted and Hon. Rees B. Hogins, of Russellville, was chosen his suc- cessor. MT. Hogins will take charge of the institution December 1. Fol- lowing is Mir. McConnelFs resigna- tion as submitted in writing:
 To the Honorable Board of Peni-
 tentiary Commissioners:
 Price $1. Address,
 Gentlemen-It is a matter of rec ord that I was reelected to the posi- ton of superintendent of the Arkan- sas penitentiary, and after seven weeks star chamber investigation by the legislative committee, I was con- frmed despite the powerful efforts brough to bear.
 Without solicitation on my part l was elected to this position Janu- ary l, 1894, and accepted with con- dition that I would resign when I could not make the institution self sustaining. How well I have done so is public history. Feeling a pride in making a success, I have devoted over seven and one-half years of the best part of my life to that end. But few realize the responsibility or magnitude of this institution. The salary is not suf- hciently remunerative for the ability required outside of other objections.
 Owing to the wrangling and strife in the board, and in order to relieve my friend on the board from further bickerings and worry, and because of rules making the super lntendent fgurehead, and because l do not wish to be connected with such an extensive business, run on political instead of bushes princi- ples, l hereby tender my resigna- tion as superintendent of the Arkan- sas penitentiary. I respectfully re- quest that your board have com- plete inventory of all property made and all accounts audited on my re- tirement. This Is but justice to me and my successor.
 For all favors extended to me by you, gentlemen, accept my hearty thanks. l shall retire to the Dem ocritic ranks and will always be found as heretofore, battling for the success of the party.
 E. T. Mcconnell.
