Judge Waddill's Decision.
(Ry the Assoclated Press.l


Richmond, Va, June 2O-In the matter
Of creditors asking that the William r.
Trigg Shipbuilding Company be adjudged
a bankrupt, Judge Waddill rendered a de-
eision today that the appointment of a
receiver by the Chancery Court of Rich
mond, December %, 1902, which was the
act of bankruptcy complained of in the PEE
ton, could not be taken advantage Of un-
der the amendment of February 3. 1908.
Judge Waddill holds the amendment of
February ;, 1908 is not retractive and
could not extend to the appointment Of a
receiver prior to February 5, 1908, as was
the case in the appointment of receiver
for the Trigg Company
It is thought probable that this decis-
ion may further compncate the situation
in respect to the cruiser Galveston.

lie declared he had twice carried
Sebastian county, but had not
been awarded its vote. He said
there was a little coterie at Little
Rock which dominated the legis-
lature, which has no sense. He
deplored the defeat of the King
bill, and said tha5 he went to the
statehouse every night during
the sitting Of the legislature at
the Fisk of his life and would
have been murdered if the slight
est disturbance had been raised.
He affirmed that he had come
before the peoplo for vindication
of his course.
Senator Sengle followed and
lambasted the governor. He re-
fGrred to a message he had re-
ceived, that he would be thrown
off the platform if he attempted
to speak, and said he was there
to be thrown off. Some one in
the crowd yelled: "You had
better look out"
Mr. Sengle replied, 81 am
looking out.
Governor Davis was met at the
depot with a brass band and es-
corted to the platform. He was
surprised at the presence of SEN
ator Sengle and demanded that
he eschcw politics.
EX-Representative Tatum, now
circuit court clerk, illustrated the
advice given young men with the
remark: "We learn from sitting

said he had performed his duty
in the face Of the fact that dur
ing the sitting Of tho legislature
he was in danger Of being killed

firming that he did not intend to
stand for a third term, but had
been SO villified in spite of his
honesty OF purpose that ne
thought vindication at the
hands Of the people was due him,

ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

A South Arkansas man recent
ly sent the following to the Ar
kansas Democrat as his announ-
cement for governor:
at is with considerable sur
prise that | see the office Of gov
ernor of our state going begging.
Usually there is such a scramble
for this position that other busi-
ness is hampered. This state of
affairs must be remedied. What
are we coming to when a candi-
date for a position cannot be
found? The only way which |
see out Of the delimma is to throw
myself headlong into the breach
at the imminent risk of my neck,
so here goes. | am not seeking
vindication, because | have a
family to support; | have no
grievances to air, but an aching
void in the region of my belt
buckle; the U. S. senatorship
does not interest me as much as
the price of beans. | simply
seek the office because | need it
and think it would be a good
thing to have in the family.
Having Inherited an abundance
of poverty, l have added to it un-
til the late lamented Mr.. Jobs
turkey would look like a bird Of
paradise in comparison. | desire
a position where | can pardon my
friends who have been 50 indis-
Greet as to be caught, abuse The
legislature to my hearts content
and do something every day that
will get my name in the papers.
| want my name to ring through
the old state house like the mel
low tones of a donkey on short
rations, and 60 laundering down
the corridors of time like the
PUNK of a rotten potato against
u plank fence. When I have
nothing else on my mind can
shed great gobs of sympathy for
the poor worIlingman who puts
in his time toiling up the rugged
hill of life with punctured tire.
Now is the time to roll up your
trousers and wade in if you want
to see your state fly to the front
like a mad bull from a bean
shooter. This state needs a man
at the head Of affairs who will
have the best interests Of the
people at heart and | need a pair
Of pants. There are other needs
on both sides which it is not nec-
essary to mention here. | shall
not take the stump, having no
particular use for it, but will sit
like Patience on q monument and
wait for you, my friends, to do
your duty as becomes men and
other things too numerous to
