The patrons of the centralized
school in Spring Hill township
are fortunate in having u very
able teacher this year, in the per-
cont of Miss Maud T. BENNETT.
This school is centrally located
and the building is commodius
and we'll equipped. A barn has
been built to Accommodate those
who wish TO drive from a distance
and yet in spite OF all this only
about hall OF the pupils in the
district are sent TO school. The
school, though small, is doing
SPLENDID work. The pains tai zen
by the pupils indicate9 good TEACH
Ing. The walls OF the school
room are Hastily decorated with
pictures and nj APPS in colored
crayon and water colors, execut-
ed by the pupils. The language
work OF the smaller children is
also ON exhibition to the visitor
and shows the result of pains
taking work on the parts OF the
pupils-in fact the school spirit is
every where in evidence. May
the time come when we can have
more school Of this kind in Hand
county-schOol taught by efficient
and well trained teachers,- who
are able to impart to the boys
and girls the desire and the love
for knowledge.

WHITE RIVER ROUTES
 ATTRACTIVE SCENERY


 The extension of the Iron Mountain road from Batesville to Carthage, Mo-, promises to become one of the most scenic routes in the state when it is completed, says the Little Rock Dem ocrat. For miles along this route the railroad track winds along the river banks, often under precipices which rise to dizzy heights, and again passes through some of the richest and pret- tiest farms in the state along the bot tom lands of White river. The river itself is noted for it's clearness and beauty, and the many scenes which are presented along this line equal many of the famous scenes along the roads through the Rockies.

SAM COOPER HAD CLOSE CALL.

Sam Cooper, the negro drayman, living near Walnut Grove cemetery, was called to his front door about 12 o'clock Tuesday night and as he ad- vanced toward the gate was shot at by Jackson Day, another negro.
 The shot missed it's intended victim and tore away the door casing. Day married daughter of Cooper, but recently separated from her, after administering the lash. The woman's brother took up the dispute, but he too was severely chastised, and then Day went to the home of his father in-law with shot gun with the evil dent intention of killing him. Day was arrested early Wednesday morn ing and acts like a crazy man.
 He was tried before Justice Guy Smith Wednesday morning, charged with assault with intent to kill, and was bound over to the next grand jury.

MANNING SERVES
 NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL Z
Clarendon Politician Proves An Early Quitter in Gubernatorial Fight People Want Test Between
 Wood and Davis.

Clarendon, July 14.-At II o'clock today Hon. M. J. Manning telephoned to Governor Davis at Little Rock and wired Judge Wood and Mr. vance- venter that he had withdrawn as a candidate for governor.
 In an interview later Mir. Manning stated in answer to an inquiry as to his reasons for withdrawing that he deemed it proper because the cam paign promised to be so extensive.as to render it impossible for him to give the necessary time to it. He further said that there appeared to be popu- lar demand or desire to have Gov. Davis and Judge Wood te5t their strength before the people. "While I am not unwilling to- them or either of them in the COL test" said MT. Manning, eI prefer not to engage in such an unpleasant cam paign as this must of necessity be- come. I am deeply grateful to my friends in all parts of the state for their pledges of support and interest in my cause, but prefer rather to re- main at home than give the time to the canvass at the sacrifice of my private business interests" Much disappointment is felt by Mir. Manning's friends here because of his withdrawal, though all are aware that it would entail no little loss on his part, not only of his large law prac tice, but to extensive real estate in- terests.

COTTON'S RAPID GROWTH.
Crop Bulletin for Week Closed Shows Rather General Rains Over the State, But Moisture Still Need-
 ed in Some Sections.

The temperature for the week end- ing July IS was slightly above normal, with scattered local showers the fore part of the week and copious to heavy and fairly we'll distributed showers the latter part, but rain is still needed in some localities.
 Cotton is still small, but is growing rapidly; the plant is healthy and vig-S orous and is taking on form; some of the early planted is beginning to bloom; insects are causing very little trouble.
 Corn has made rapid progress and is now nearly all laid by; it is healthy has good color and is beginning to silk and tassel, and some of the early planted is in the roasting ear staGaa2 The harvesting of wheat and oat1 I1S1 progressed under favorable w96tf conditions; the yields, as rule, VIII be light. Potatoes are being harvests ed and good yields of excellent quality secured. Pastures, gardens, forage crops and berries are in good condi- tion, but apples will be short crop and of inferior quality; peaches are \ failure.

GOVERNORS COMMISSION
 FILE BRIEF DEMUR RER.

In the case of the State of Arkansas vs. Thomas Cox ct al. the defendants Tuesday filed demurrer before the second division of the circuit court.
 This suit was brought by Attorney General Murphy against Thomas Cox, Ham Brawley, George R. Hayuie, Hugh Corry and Charles Wilmans, who constitute the "governor's capi- tol commission,v and were appointed by him in opposition to the commis- sion named by the legislature, the latter body being now in charge of the construction of the new capitol building.
 In this suit the defendants are re- quired to be present and show to the court by what authority they act as a capitol commission. The demurrer filed by them Tuesday is very brief. It demurs to the suit on the ground that the plaintiffs have not set out sufficient cause of action.
 The argument on the demurrer will probably not be heard until the next term of court, which begins Septem- Der 28.

DAVIS WOOD INCIDENT.
Several Stories Out in Regard to What Caused Judge Wood to Lay vio-
 lent Hands Upon Governor.

Several versions of the encounter betwecn Carroll D. Wood and Gov ernor Davis at Hampton have found their way into print.
 Hampton is twenty miles from the railroad, and the only means of quick communication is telephone line A dispatch from Fordyce said that Governor DavisS in his speech at Hampton, said that srenld he be em- ployed to defend man befone Judge Wood, if he accepted a fee heAwould feel as though he was stealinE his clients money. At this Judge Wood arose, caught the governor in lhe collar and struck at him.
 Another dispatch says that Justice of the Peace James issued warrants at Hampton for both Governor Davis and Judge Wood. That the judge pleaded guilty to assault and battery, was fined, but the governor demanded a jury trial and was acquitted.
 Word reached Little Rock from Judge Wood that he had recovered from his temporary illness at Hamp- ton, and was feeling much better. He stated that he would not come home, but would go to Princeton to meet Governor Davis Thursday and return home Friday.
 Information was also received from Hon. A. F. Vandeventer that he was unable to be present at Hampton on account of having to leave the state on legal business, but that he would return in time to be present and speak at Princeton tomorrow and at Magazine Saturday.

WANTS MONUMENT
 ON CAPITOL GROUNDS.

"The Confederate monument soon to be erected in Little Rock should by all means be located on the new capi- tol building grounds" said G. w.. Donaghey, who Wednesday resigned as superintendent of construction un- der the capitol commission.
 "Some have advocated the city park as suitable place for the monument. Some think it should be placed on the old state house grounds, but it seems to me that the site have mentioned is much better than either. The new capitol building is going to be one of the most handsome in the south, and will attract many visitors. When the grounds are laid off it should be with view to having this monument as one feature. It will be a fitting set ting for remembrance to the South's honored dead.v

! SUPREME COURT
 sUsrAINs OMNIBUS VETO.
FiDding of Circuit Judge Winfield Re- 7 versed By Higher Court in Con- federate Roster Appropria-
 ton Bill.

The supreme court Wednesday de- cided that the Confederate roster ap- propriation bill, which was one of
 those included in Gov. Davis' omni-
 bus veto proclamation, did not be- come law.
 1 The case was styled T. O.. Monroe, auditor, vs. B. w. Green ct al Mir. Justice Hughes delivered the opinion of the court, MT. Justice Battle and
 Mir. Justice Riddick concurring, but filing separate opinions, and MT.
 Chief Justice Bum dissenting. MT. Justice Wood did not sit in the case. 1 The majority of the court held that house bill No. All, known as the Con- federate roster bill, never became and 1 is not now law, because the same
 was not known to have ever been presented to the governor as pre- scribed by law. Of course this means that in no event does the governors l veto in this case cut any figure what SNOi' l dO OOClSlOu tuIuS Ou uu0 ldCk
 of evidence to support the finding of
 the court below that the bill was pre- sented to the governor.
 1 Mir. Chief Justice Bum dissented on the ground that no bill can become a
 law unless presented to the governor
 before the legislature adjourns. 1 The case arose on petition for a I writ of mandamus to compel Auditor T. c. Monroe to audit claim for $6O
 and issue to the petitioner warrant
 on the state treasury to be paid out of
 an appropriation made by the late general assembly under house bill No. 471. Judge Winfield of the Pulaski
 circuit court granted the writ, and the
 auditor appealed to the supreme court
 This bill, with the many others, was presented to the governor through his private secretary, it was claimed,
 on May 15, 1903, the legislature hav- 1 ing adjourned sine die on April 30, 1903. The constitution requires all
 bills not presented before adjourn
 ment to be presented to the governor for his approval or disapproval within l twenty days thereafter.
