The Silence of Shook.
Charlotte, Observer


An Observer reporter found Rev. ]
Wiley Shook leaning against the old
Spanish cannon in front of the postoffice
yesterday afternoon. A suggestion that
the reverend ease his mind by saying
something printable was met with a
solemn, negative shake of his head.
"Oh. it's that bad, is it?'' said the re-
porter. You must have been up against
it pretty hard Mr. Shook placed his
forefinger against his lips in dumb show
of assent. The Observer man was turn
ing away when the famous mountain ex-
horter thrust into his hands a document
which read as follows:
My enforced exclusion from newspaper
writing is giving to some people the sat-
isfaction anticipated by a fellow that /
heard entertaining a crowd at Salisbury

resentment of his brutality of the murder

the gallows. To the chagrin of this COM

days before the day of execution.

the bv-standers?
Why, to lie down and die to keep

bullets into the body of a dead man.
THE application is apparent. Very
few care to write of the Professor when
he is at liberty"
The reporter read the paper in silence.
The Professor-or the reverend-looked
disconsolate, yet game. He wore brand
new grey SLOUGH hat, a frock coat that
touched his ankles, and he was as col
larless as a hairless Cuban purp. He
rested one hand on the ancient Spanish
gun and sighed a dismal sigh.

Report Corrected.

DR.. +. M. Scott came to me last
night aud told me that he had been
informed that Miss Ida May Ander-
son, who lives with Mayor j. T. Hes
ter, had been exposed to smallpox
by visiting at Ed Carr's. since his
baby has been broken out with
smallpox, and some are censuring
DR.. Scott for not quarantining
Mayor Hester and family.
l want to state for the benefit of
DR.. Scott and all to whom it may
concern, that Miss Ida Nav Ander-
son has not been inside of Ed Carr's
premises since April 10Th, 1902, and
that was the day that Ed Carr left
here for Texas. She did 90 to the
home of Ed Carr the evening that
DR.. Scott quarantined the place, but
she only reached the gate when her
mother, Mrs. Anderson, told her not
to come in as they had smallpox.
Also, she said that DE-. Scott was
there and told her not To come in;
furthermore, Miss Ida MAY Anderson
says that she is willing to be quail
fed to the above statement.

Three of their agents wrote 20 APP
plications Saturday, May 3rd, which
shows that it certainly must be the
thing for the people. Their plan, we
think, is the best and safest OF its
kind. They charge the smallest
contract fee of any. They pay your
home out in half the time others do
and you pay them back the money in
less than half the time; still what
you pay on a matured contract 20,
on a $500 home, or $40 25 on 81 900
is much less than any $500 or 81 900

friends and the public generally
should take a contract while the
numbers are small. The manager
tells US that they are going to put
100 agents in the field as soon as
possible and if the 100 agents each
write as much business every week
as the three did in one day, for the

Philips County Furnishes a Dozen
For the Pen.

of yesterday, says:
Travelling Warden J. T. Abraham
OF the Arkansas state penitentiary
spent yesterday in the city. When
he returned to Little Rock he had
with him party of an even dozen
who will be the guests of the state
for periods varying from thirty days
to five years.
''They were the criminals senten-
ced at the recent term of the circuit
court, and they presented a rather
unique spectacle as they were march
ed from the Jail to the depot, al,
twelve hand-cuffed together in
pairs. On the cars the gang were
still kept handcuffed together and
thus the start was made. The party
reached Little Rock before day.
light this morning if nothing occurred
to delay them.
I'm the party were eleven men
and one woman, and all but one OF
them were colored. Elijah Glofn,
charged with selling lien property,
was the sole white convict sent up
from this county, while Florence
Wilson was the sole female, she be-
ing charged with grand larceny.
Miles Richards the thirteen year,
old and self-confessed burglar, was
one of the party, and considerable
interest is manifested in what action
Gov. Davis will probably take in his
case. The boy is too young to be
kept in the penitentiary, but he is
too dangerous a speciman to be
allowed at large. In any event the
people of Helena trust that he will
not be sent back to that CITY,"

and on account of the immense
quantity of school lands, their treas

you had better meyer mention a

lively. They had great deal of fun

=. Attorney Charles II. Horton was ap-
pointed examiner to ascertain the in
debtedness of the poor district of Car
bondale township. The overseers Of
the poor, Michael McFadden and Mich
ael Ruddy, aver that there is an out
standing Indebtedness of $1,21o.54, and
that 17-mill levy is required to meet
this debt and the expenses Of the en-
suing year. The law limits them to a
1O-mill levy, which is only sufficient to
meet current expenses. The valuation
of the township Is s177,206, and an ad-
ditiona levy Of seven mills on this
valuation will pay the outstanding in
debtedness.

This gives nearly thousand dollars
