II Is not generally known that the

remembered thai October 81 sfc was

From our Regular Correspondent
 The four weeks dry spell is brok- en atlast by good rains the last two nights. Cotton is consider ably injured, but this nice season may bring 1t out. Late potatoes corn and peas will be much benc- fitted.
 Mrs. NJ. L. Harper, widow of the late Robert Harper, who for many years was citizen of this county, moved back a few days ago to her old home in Allis, from Hot Springs, where Mir. Harper had moved to about year ago. There was quite little excite ment in Wilmar on Tuesday eve ming of last week about the depot, when Sheriff Walter Wilson got off the evening passenger train and put under arrest the agent, C. \. Appelby. on the charge of larceny and took him to the Monticello jail.
 Wilmar is overloaded with wa ter melons these days.
 This is time of protracted meetings and religious revivals around us. The Baptist have just closed an interesting meeting, in which 2I persons connected with their Church. Rev J. ", Simms commences another meeting next Sabbath at the Woodlawn Baptist Church Rev. r. C. Conner, the pastor of this Circuit, assisted by Rev. Bradford, is holding a meet ing al Andrews Chapel.
 Rev. J. W. Mccain has been holding meeting at jacksonville for Rev E. B. Anderson of that place. He will begin a meeting next Wednesday night at the Sa. line. near Wilmar.
 MT. Andrew Baxter, after a two weeks visit to his brothers in Will mar, has returned to his home in Memphis.
 Prof. Walter Fudge, of $. C., who was visiting relatives in Mon- ticello, came over to Wilmar and spent couple of days with his friends, Rev. W. and Prof. E.. E. Mccain. They were at Erskine College together few years ago. MT. Guy Davis, who has been attending Erskine College. return home last week.

Tai,e people of Drew and Ash lev eouRaies, the home and birth places. of Hon. Carroll D. Wood will give hita prac ticallv a unan- fmous vote for Governor. They appreciate his, worth as a man and reeDgaize lms ability. It is ttre peope of these counties who have watched his course, from a struggling hoy. poor but honest, mp to his present exalted posi- tion, and during all these years they have never known him to be guilty of a dishonest act; but have found him tl1e soul of hon. or at all times and upon every occasion. It was these people who first came to his aid and started him on his career of use fitness and fame. and since he has never given them cause to regret their efforts in his behalf they will prove true to him in the present emergency
 Gov. Davis, 1t is true, has many friends in this part of the country, but they feel tha they have done enough for him, a1- ready, and it would be expecting too much of them to think that they would turn their faces against their friend and home raised boy. Carroll D. Wood.

Johnson, upon his executing a
 n4ed to them for some lots he owned in Eureka Springs, and [ that If the deed was not turned
 over, to return the pardon to
 them They also wrote John son to the same effect. Now, when 1t is considered that James is an appointee of Gov. Davis on the State Charity Board and Fuller was his right-hand man ;u the last Legislature and his .ever willing advocate on the Ways and Means Investigating Committee, this pardon smacks of the peculiar 1t is true that Fuller is out in an affidavit in which he uses. this language: "I never disclosed to Governor Davis at any time that 1 was getting any fee for this pardon
 That was a matter entirely be- tween my client and myself Gov. Davis sent the pardon to mv firm because of the reason I llrad requested him to do it'
 If there was no understanding between Davis and James & Full Ter as to the uses this pardon
 ~as, to.be applied, then what s1g7.r had James. x Fuller to de 7nTandl its return to them unless Johnson. eSeeWted the deed to them ofhis Eureka Springs prop erty2 What were they going to do with it? Were they going to return it to the Governor and ask him to revoke it2 If the pardon was deservedly granted, and by the Governor in the full line of his duty, could they ex- pect him to stulify hfmself by compromising his dignity as the highest state official, by infict- ing further punishment upon a man, not for his crime. because he had already. in the eyes of the Governor. suffered the penalty for that, or the presumption IS that he would not have been pardoned, but for failing or re fusing to pay an outrageous fee for the lawyers who got up the petftfon.'
 To soy the least this was a most extraordinary pardon. A nlarwho was serving a sentence for a most revolting and influ- inaana crime is turned out on the conaaunity by the Governor for no other apparent reason than that farnes k Fuller desired it, and the facts all go to prove that tbeir desire for Johnson's pardon was based solely upon tie fee which they were to re ceiye. Let those who desire to do SO frame excuses for the Gov ernor; but if any man who has a regard for law, order and socie- tv will sit down and think over the whole matter, we believe he VIM conclude that there has been a grievous wrong committed.

A certain Dr. Johnson, of Fort Smith was convicted in the Sc bastian Circuit Court in 1901 for criminal assault upon his own daughter, and his convic- tion was upon the testimony of his victim and upon his own confession. He was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term Of seven years. A few weeks ago this man Johnson was pardoned by Gov. Davis. but instead of the pardon being sent to the penitentiary management, who has the custody of John son, it was sent to James 6, Full Ter, a law firm at Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
