Governor Davis on Saturday par doned w. R. O'Neal of Jackson county, who had been fined $3,50O or the charge of violating the liquor law but no announcement Of this fact was made until Monday. The petition for the pardon was endorsed as follows:
 tPardon granted on condition that W. R. O'Neal do not again sell whis- ky or any other compound thereof illegally, and that he give good bond to be approved by the circuit clerk of Jackson county that he will not do so. If the conditions of this pardon are violated, the same to be void, and the judgment of the court to be in full force and effect"
 O'Neal gave the following pledge acknowledged before notary public; "I, W. R. O'Neal, do solemnly swear that I have not since January 1, 1902, and will not engage in the unlawful sale of liquors of any kind, so long as I shall live"
 The pardon was refused on August 15, 1902. O'Neal, Alfred Mortenson and John Watson were convicted at the July term, 1902, of the illegal sale of liquor in thirty five cases, the fines being $100 and costs in each. Mortensen and Watson had previously been pardoned under the same con ditions, the costs being paid in all cases.

SENATOR JONES PRESIDENT
 ROUND BALE COMPANY,

The Arkansas Cotton Products Com pany filed an amendment to it's orig nal articles of incorporation Monday, changing it's headquarters from Nor rillton to Forrest City. The company when first incorporated was under the name of the Arkansas Round Lap Bale Company. The name was soon after changed to itspresent title. The new amendment is signed by James K. Jones, as president, and w. B. Mann, secretary. Senator Jones' name has never before appeared in any capacity on the articles or amend ments.
 1t was this company, and Senator Jones' then alleged connection with it that were so frequently mentioned in the Arkansas senatorial primary elec tion of this year The amendment was received here by mail from New York. The accompanying explana- tory letter was written on the letter head of the American Cotton Com pany, which is the owner and lessor of the round-lap bale press These presses are never sold, but rented, which has given rise to the term ''trust" in connection with the com pany.

and not until then upon the presen- tation of such a credential he was en- titled to his pay which consisted of sometimes drink of whisky and per haps as high as pint.
 Such an offense constitutes a most fragrant violation of those laws, which protect the fairness and honesty of the ballot box and the offenders should be amenable to the penalties of the law. This corruption also makes it imperative that an educational qualification for the voter should be established, that men who value the rights and privileges of citizenship so lightly and are so easily made sub servient tools of interruptions poli- ticians, be no longer eligible to exer else this right of suffrage.

DAVIS RE- ELECTED.
Democratic Ticket Elected By Re- duced Majority Light Vote Rolled Over Entire State Myers
 Probably Leads
 Greaves.

Very incomplete returns have been received from over the state, but the vote of certain precincts from twenty five out of seventy five counties make it certain that the victory of the dem ocratic state ticket is complete, al- though it's majority has probably been reduced by the extremely light vote.
 From returns at hand, Myers will undoubtedly lead Greaves, though the insurgents" developed consider able strength in Northern and North western Arkansas, where in several counties they carried the day over the "regulars.o
 Davis carried Little Rock and Pu- laski county, but ran behind the bal ance of his ticket. However, the in- dications are that he has secured a arge negro vote over the entire state and this will probably give him lead over the rest of the Democratic state ticket, notwithstanding the scratching his name received by life long Dem ocrats
 Reports from most sections of the state indicate that the constitutional amendment, proposing to abolish the per diem pay in the legislative system and place the members on a salary, has been adopted by large majority.

Newport daily independent., 1902-09-02

Jackson county has voted for li- censed saloons and by such a tremen- dous majority that there can be little doubt as to the sentiment of the peo- pie upon this important local issue. The vote is so light from every pre- cinct thus far heard from, that actual majorities need not be large to indi- cate an overwhelming victory. The vote for license will probably be three times as large as that cast against this measure.
 The road tax is even more popular; the opposition had shadow of strength in this city, but the country vote is nearly solidly aligned in it's favor.
 The "insurgent" republicans had no organization in this co--,,2ty, which is the home of the chairman of the reg ular wing, and the Greaves vote was very scattering and will probably not make as good showing as that of the prohibition candidate.
 The second ward in this city, which has been republican for the past twelve years, lined itself up in the column of Davis precincts. What in- duced this political change, as well as the complexion of the vote in the other ward hardly reflects credit or honor upon some of the election of ficials, who connived at and abetted the corruption of the ballot. To state the case plainly, the votes of negroes were openly bought and that the goods might be delivered, one of the officers at each precinct, to whom the purchased voter applied to have his ticket made out, furnished the said voter black button after his ballot has been cast, provided that the same had been vote for Davis, for license and against the road tax Then
