A QUEER OFFICIAL.
There Must Be One Up At
the Kelley Mill At
Pyburn.

From reports there must be
queer official in charge of the
peace and dignity of the citizens
around the Kelley mill between
this place and Dodson. Negroes
there have been talking a5ent
affairs and as it is expensive TO
them they are not liking the
modus operendi of upholding the
law. According to reports being
circulated. deputy sheriff is
stationed there to look after the
law and to see that its majesty is
not trod on by those who would
transgress.
He IS dilligent in looking after
the negroes and helping to take
care of their Saturday night Har-
rison and "razzoo. If one is
caught he is jerked up. and unless
he comes across with the cash lie
is threatened with being "carried
to Winfield Several have
said that 1t cost them as much as
$40 to stay away from Winfield.
And the peculiar part of the
transaction IS that there ia no
trial Of the offender, neither is
there any formalIty of the war;
rant, arrest and discharge. If
sufficient dough is put up the
offender is turned loose, and
probably the diIigent deputy has
the money to place on his bank
account.
Reports from this affair are mea-
ger as it seems that part of each
consideration. where an arrest
IS made and the prisoner buys a
release is that he shall say nothing
about it. But it is stated that
numerous cases have been disposed
of in this manner, and that the
efficient deputy there is ...the
whole thing acting as judge,
sheriff and treasurer, and it is
..os known what goes with
the money thus collected.

TURNED DOWN.
Supreme Court Decides
Against Winn Parish
Taxpayers.

The State Supreme Court hand
ed down "a decision Monday in the
case OF c. James, ct ais, VS.. The
Arkansas Southern Railroad Co.
which was appealed from the dis
trict court here. The decision of
Judge Machen was sustained and
the taxpayers must pay the five
mills tax unless some other
method can be found BY which
payment can be avoided.
1t is understood here that at
torneys for the other railroads and
land owners with interests in this
parish will make another effort to
have the tax annulled, bat what
method will be pursued is not
made public. At any rate the
matter is not done with and the
best efforts of able attorneys will
be put forth to havethe case gone
over again, probably in a different
style, with the hope that the tax
payers can avoid the payment Of
this tax.

Everything Points to New and Terrible De-
velopments in Macedonia
(By the Associated Press

London, Sept. 9.-Everythng seems to
point to new and terrible developments
in Macedonia. On top of the appalling
accounts OF the results of the Turkish
methods of restoring order" in the
vilayet of Monastir. comes "a threat by
the insurgents to resort to reprisals on
the same scale The Porte's anxiety to
suppress news by expelling newspaper
correspondents from the area of the op-
erations is held to have but one meaning.
This mornings papers comment upon the
significance of the news, first published
by the Associated Press that Russia and
Austria are seeking to persuade the pow
ers to coerce Bulgaria as showing be-
lief that war is inevitable.
No further news regarding the out
break at Beirut has been received here.
A dispatch to the Standard from Con
stantinople, dated Sunday, says:
1.-The Turks are much disturbed by the
presence of the American warships at
Beirut, and are making every effort TO
have them recalled. In spite of all as.
sertions that the United States only IN
tends them to be there for the simple
protection of the rights of her citizens,
it is quite possible that the dispatch Of
the warships may initiate action leading
much furtner.
The same correspondent, telegraphing
under Mondays date, on receipt of the
news of the Beirut outbreak. says:
with the slightest encouragement dis
orders might result in the whole of the
Lebanon rising in revolt. Today has
been foretold as the date of the rising
against the foreigners and many resi-
dents of Constantinople are keeping to
their houses. Personally, l doubt whether
there will be anything more that dyna-
mite outrages which are pretty sure to
be attempted before long"
The Daily Telegraphs correspondent at
st. Petersburg, says he is assured on ex-
cellcnt authority that Russia, when she
submits proposals to the Porte for the
paciication of Macedonia contemplates
the dispatch of her Black Sea squadron
to Turkish waters, where it will make u
much longer stay than recently in order
to overcome the Sultan's objections 10
her recommendations.
The Sofia correspondent of the Morning
Leader, says by the end of the week the
insurgents will have received a large ac-
cession of weapons Thirty thousand
rifles are being smuggled in to them from
all sides, and when they have been re-
ceived, the real fighting will begin.

ference with Mayor Johnson. The latter
was out of the city, however. Mr.. Bry-
an declined to discuss national politics,
but predicted that Mr.. Johnson would be
elected governor of Ohio at the coming
State election.
While here today Mr.. Bryan gave out
the following written statement relative
to a printed report that his daughter,
,Euth, was engaged to marry Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson:
''There is no truth whatever in the re-
ported engagement, and the newspaper
man who sent out the report might
have learned the truth by inquiring either
of Lieutenant Hobson or of our family.
Mr.. Hobson called on Mrs Bryan when
he lectured in Lincoln recently, and there
met my daughter. The fact that such a
is made the basis of the
story printed shows how unreliable some
of the so-called news is.
