THIS TINE THAT'S CAUSING
COMPLAINT.
Sc as to Ee CT Greatest hdVan
WHAT A CITIZEN LAS TO SAY

From various citizens il the city
there come complaints from time to
time II the poor lighting Of the streets
and the lateness Of the time when
council has wrestled ION time to time
with the light question, and have re-
duced the bill each month for lights
which have failed to burn, but this, it
seems, does not prevent the turning on
OF the lights about half past Z or 8
o'clock.
The contract between the Citizens
Light and Transit company and the
city reads that all the lights paid for
by the city at a certain rate per light
shall burn from dark until daybreak.
During the winter months it is gen
orally dark before O'CLOCK and at
this hour. according to contract. the
lights should be burning. Various citi-
zens, who finish their work and go
home at this hour, have complained 60
| the Graphic that the streets are prac-
tically pitch dark at this hour and but
| for the lights from the business houses
: there are no lights burning until nearly
o'clock Many of the young lady
stenographers and those who work in
| dry goods and millinery stores are thus
| compelled to go home in the dark
while the lights are burning at a later
| hour.
One prominent citizens expresses
himself in this manner:
''It is the privilege of every free
American citizens to kick and while
| do not mean to reflect on the manage
ment of the transit company, the lights
should be turned on earlier during the
winter months | venture the asser
ton that having the lights burning
from $50 to - o'clock would be OF
greater benefit to all the citizens and
taxpayers than the way they are burn
ing now. If the matter cf economy is
taken into consideration it seems that
wiser plan would be to burn the
lights until u O'Clock and then shut
them off. Our young ladies who &C
home from work at O'Clock need more
protection from we'll lighted streets
than the night prowler who straggles
home in the wee sma' hours | dc
the matter should receive some atten
ton at once"

There Wa "a rippie of excitement
and a tare aifHea tragedy al Halcott
yesterday between a. T. Eaudetenter
and Governor Davis, Is finale to the
govern f's addreez at that place The
Soliph0ne has talked to several per-
sons about it, Who were eye-witnesse5,
but no two of them tell the same story
as to all the details The facts as we
have been able to gather them, seem
to be that at the close of Governor Da-
Wis speech he was to be followed by
Nandeventer. The governor pf0I0ng
ed his remaks little over the allotted
time and Nandeyenter objected and
some parleying was indulged in be
tween the two. Finally Governor Da-
Wis got all his papers into his grip and
announced that he was going TO leave
at once for Paragon that there was
pressing business calling him home
and that he wanted to get to Paragoud
in time to catch the first train to Lit
tie Rock. AS he started out Nande
venter began to sing, Goodbye, my
Jeftie, goodbye, goodbye, my Jeftie,'
and this provoked breach on the spot.
The men called each other names.
From the conflicting testimony of wit
nesses it is hard to say which one first
used the insulting epithe;s. AT any
rate, Vandeventer drew his knife and
began to advance upon the governor,
when the governor drew his cane IN
an attitude of defense, but those pres
ent would nst LET them get together.
Several knives were drawn and the
Davis men We're threatening in their
! attitude toward Vandeventer and
would no doubt have carved him pret-
ty badly if he had persisted in his eff
forts to get to the governor with his
knife There was much CONSERVATION,
large part of the crowd yelling, Hur-
rah for Davis Put him out and such
like. 1t was some time before order
| could be restored and many of the
| friends Of Governor Davis did not re
turn to hear the other speakers. After
quiet was restored Mr.. Nanderyenter
proceeded with his speech which was
his usual roast for the governor.
Judge Wood did not in anyway par
ticipate in the turmoil Of the occasion,
| but made his usual quiet and dignifled
speech The Davis men are leud in
denunciatOn of Vandeventer, while the
enemies of the governor seem to relish
Vandeyenter's pluck and aggressive
ness.
Governor Davis returned to town IN
time to get the south-bound train for
Little Rock. Mr.. Vandeventer left this
morning and Judge Wood remained
| in Paragould and has been in consulta-
ticn with his friends in town today.
The Judge is made to feel secure i'll the
hope Of carrying Greene county on ae'
count Of his long association and intt
mate friendship with Judge Riddiek,
as it is we'll understood that Judge Rid
