GOV. DAVIS EXPULSION.
The Commercial Appeal Discusses
the Incident.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal,
says editorially:
"Gov. JEFF Davis of Arkansas will
have to get along through this vale
OF tears as best he can without any
church embership. Being expelled
from the Baptist church will not be
a recommendation to him to join any
other organization. That the church
which expelled him acted within it's
legitimate authority we may we'll be-
lieve, but it is not easy to see just
what is going to become of the gov
ernor. He has been thrown into
outer darkness by the saints because
they found him to be sinner.
1.-THE death of q sinner is not de-.
sired, but it is desired that hs. may
live anG. repent, and it is more like
ly that he will become repeAtant as a
member of church organization
than when compelled to wander
about among sinners and non-be-
LEVERS. While he is out and foot
loose Gov. jeff may be expected to
go rapid pace and enjoy all the de-
lights Of iniquity. He may as we'll be
hung for sheep as lamb and un-
restrained indulgence will bring
about safety and repentance. 1t is
difficult to repent while the fun lasts
but it is easy enough when sinner
wears himself out. Pietyl then takes
the place OF wick edness.
"While Gov. Davis is living in sin
be need have no fears OF being lone
some. There are others. Editor
Reaves of the Hardeman Free Press
declares that he is a man after the
governors S own heart and he is pre-
pared to keep him company as long
as the jug lasts. .

DR.. THoMbsoN's VIEWS.
He Says an up'eaval in Arkansas
Politics IAProbable,

DR.. Richard G. Thompson of Pine
Bluff, Ark, was surprised when he
read that his home county bad in
stracted its delegates to the repub-
lican state convention to vote for his
nomination for governor, says the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat. DR.. Thomp-
son was at the Planters Hotel With
Mrs. Thompson when the news
reached him. He is one OF the prom
inent epublicans of Arkansas.
1.-THE convention was in session at
Pine Bluff when I left there yester-
day, said DR.. Thompson, ''but l
had made no effort to secure the in
dorsement for governor, and the com
pliment was an entire surprise to me.
My wife and | are now on our way to
the Pacific coast to spend six weeks.
The republican state convention will
meet at Little Rock June 26, so
cannot possibly make any canvass o1
the state or even attend tho conven-
tion. II the republicans of the state
want me to run, however. I will ds
my best. The other proposed candi-
dates for the nomination are H. II.
Myers OF Little Rock and Charles D.
Greavoe of Hot SnrinCs. Whoovnr
is nominated will receive the solid
support of all the republicans in the
state.
"An upheaval in the politics Of oul
state is among the immediate proba
bilities, and l predict that the result
Of the election will be very different
from former years, and that in the
near future Arkansas can be placed
in the doubtful column"

DETERMINED TO MARRY.
A Kentucky Woman Refused to Be
~.
Baked.

Miss Agnes Vance, an old maid
of Barren county, Kentucky, who
had perhaps become respondent bat
tling the trials and tribulations upon
the sea of love, became desperate in
her determination to win husband,
Resolving not to be balked in grati-
fying the longing desire, she kidnap-
ed her youthful sweetheart, Robert
Marcum, and eloped TO Tennessee
with him and they were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony in the
city of Gallatin, near Nashville.
Safely reaching that city with her
Youthful treasure at late hour OF
night, she routed the license clerk
out of bed and related to him the
following story:
II am of legal age, with some little
margin, but the young man here with
me is yet a boy, and this is why we
had to run away from Kentucky. His
parents opposed the marriage be-
tween US, and some women would
have surrendered, but l didn't. l
iust took the "bull by the horns, !"
went to the young mans home the
other night. and while his parents
slept, stole him out from under his
own vine and here I am, ready to be
married. "
She paid the fee, took the papers
and marched off to get married.

The School Directors.

School district No. - held their
annual school meeting, and elected
Thomas J. Scaggs, Senior, director.
Mr.. Scaggs feeling the Importance OF
his official position, proceeded to in
form himself of the business of the
district. The teacher being present,
Mr.. Scaggs accosted him with the
following inquiries:
"Say Mr.. Teacher they tell me you
have ordered q blackboard and .
glsbe!"
Eyes. sir, I have"
"Well, they say the black board
cost seven dollars; think that's
mighty high. for I've got q big cy.
press board in my loft and / could
grind up my jack plane and make it
smooth as glass, and I could have
taken it out to where l oil up my
nets, and l got plenty cold tar left
to make it black as the ace of spades
and give it to the school, and save all
that money. Don't you think you are
getting too highfalootln all at once?"
''IThe kind of a board you speak OF,
Mr.. Scaggs, would not answer our
purpose at all, and, besides, the dis
trict has the money, and they had
just as well buy a good one."
"All right then, Mr.. Teacher, but
tel me what kind of globe was
i,Ac you ordered? They say it cost
46 1902"
The globe is representation of
the earth's surface, showing the diff
ferent bodies of land and water, and
so arranged as to revolve, making it
easy to teach the pupils the manner
of the earth 8 revolutions.
"You don't mean to say, Mr..
Teacher, that it's round?"
"Certainly I do, or rather an oval
shape"
swell, thought if it was lamp
globe it was mighty high. But
there's another question that want
ak you: are you going to teach that
it's fiat or round?"
The teacher, becoming tired OF the
directors inquisitiveness, just re-
Piled, 1T is with you directors;
understand both systems will teach
the one you prefer. T" G1p.

FOUND NO. GLUE.
The Depot Burglary Has Baffled Three
Detectives.

Messrs. Ballard and Hill, of the
Iron Mountain, and J. M. Wheeler,
Of the Cotton Belt, all professional
railroad detectives, have been here
the past week endeavorlng to estab-
lish clue that would lead to the
apprehension Of the party or parties
who were implicated in the passen-
ger depot burglary a few nights
since. 1t will be remem bered that
sixty-five dollars in paper money
was boldly stolen from the vault of
the ticket office safe by the thieves.
The detectives instituted a thor
ough investigation Of the case, but
without success. They closely
queried each and every attache OF
the local railroad service, but were
unable to throw any light on the
case that would lead to the identity
Of the guilty.
The case is truly . mysterious one
but from the character Of the theft
it is the opinion Of these interested
that the robbery was committed by
some one entirely familiar with the
affairs of the depot, one who had
carefully familiarized himself with
the general surroundings and waited
for the opportunity to seize the
Doodle.

State Superintendent -. Doyne
addressed the public school at
Jonesboro yesterday.
The closing exercises of the Jones'
boro public schools took place last
night at the Malone Theatre.
There have been 357 dog licenses
issued in Little Rock, which is about
one-fifth of the usual number.

expe lied from the Baptist church

young boys Of Montgomery county,
were drowned Yesterday while
bathing in the Ouachita river. Both
bodies we're recovered.
The churches at Pine Bluff scored
a victory by suppressing Sunday
concerts. The management OF the
electric car line decided to discon-
tinue service to and from The parks.
The Judsonia Advocate says: "a
gentleman living near Lamar has
already cut five tons OF alfalfa off of
three acres of ground this season,
which he sold readily at SO per ton.
He cut six crops off of this ground
last year. Alfalfa would grow here,
and we don't see why our farmers
don't raise more of it,"
Gov. Dayis returned to Little
Rock yesterday and when asked if
he had any thing to say relative to
his expulsion from the Second Bap-
tist church OF Little Rock, said: II

A NAME Is CHOSEN
Project for a National University
Was Incorporated.

Washington, Jan. 4-Secretary Hay
and number of gentlemen interested
in the Carnegie project of national
university met at the state department
today and formed an incorporation
known as the Carnegie Institution.
1t is understood that Mr.. Carnegie
has removed the obstacles thatexisted
to the acceptance of his SO, 900, 900
donation to the cause of education,
and today's act was the first step
toward giving legal form and sub
stance to the proposition. Besides
Secretary Hay, the incorporators, all
of whom were present at today's meet
ing, are Edwin d. White, justice of
the supreme court; d. G. Gilman, late
president of John Hopkins university;
Charles d. Walcot, superintendent of
the Geological survey; John S. Bill.
lings, ex-surgeon general of the navy;
and Carol D. Wright, commissioner
of labor. Marcus Baker, of the coast
survey, also was present, not as an
incorporation, but charged with the
preparation of the articles of incorpo-
ration.
The meeting consumed about an
hour. There was an indisposition on
the part of those present to enter into
details of the project based on de-
sire to allow Mr.. Carnegie himself to
make the public announcement.
The articles of incorporation fix the
name and the title of the institution as
the Carnegie institution, and show
that it is organized ''for a perpetual
term" Its objects are the promotion
of study and research, the power to
acquire, hold and convey real estate

THE APPEAL CONTINUED
Miss Morrison too Poor to Have Briefs
Printed.

Topeka, Jan. 7.-The'J Jessie Morri-
son murder case was continued by the
supreme court today until February.
When the case was reached on the
docket this morning the attorneys for
the state moved to dismiss lit on the
grounds that the defendants attorneys
had not served their briefs in the time
fixed by the court. Judge Redden, for
the defense, stated that the briefs had
not.beenl filed because they were not
yet out of the hands of 1.-THE printer.
"Mr Morrison the father of the defend
ant, has spent all his money on this
case already" said Judge Redden.
"The brief is big one and he did not
have the cash to get it printed at a
big establishment where it could be
turned out on time. Hell had to give
the work to littleiprint shop in Edo
RADIO where he had credit and:for this
reason we haveIbeen delayed"
The court accepted the excuse and
overruled the motion TO dismiss. The
case was set for trial inlFebruary and
the defense was given ten days yet to
get out it's brief.
