A WORD MORE ABOUT THE WIN
 CHESTER DISTRICT.

A short time back appeared an article in this paper in which the editor expressed himself as not, altogether, opposed to the Winchester district being cut off from Drew and being joined on to Desha county. Said article was written upon the hypothe- sis that the property owners ot that territory desired to go to Desha. but since that time we have reliable information that large land owners, in such terri tory are strongly opposed to the change, and that of the moral element a large majority are averse to such change. The petition for detaching the terri tory from Drew, we learn, IS principally signed by ignorant negroes. who have no interest in the matter, particularly, one way or the other, and that they are being used to effect the ob- ject of a few persons who want to get Winchester into Desha county for pecuniary political reasons. Since 1t is the land owners interests that should be considered (as people who own no land can get out of a county easily at any time without legis- lative aid) and it seems that the men who own the land or, at least considerable portion of them, are opposed to the change, we believe 1t the duty of the Sen ate to call halt on the passage of the bill, making the transfer from the one county to the oth. CT.
 It is generally inexpedient for the Legislature to interfere with established institutions and long fixed boundaries, and when it does so it should be upon the most pressing necessity and, in the present case, there seems to be neither reason or justice for such interference.

The verdict of the jury in the McLemore case. recently decid- ed in Pulaski county, was tra- vesty on justice. If the evidence was sufficient to convict he ought to have been hanged, if not sufficient, which we think was the case, he should have been acquitted. Here was a case of a young white woman. IS or 19 years of age, foully and bru- tally murdered, by cutting in many places with a knife She was dragged from the side of the road out into an old field where her young life was taken in the most horrible and shocking manner, and vet the jury says that McLemore did this killing, and that 1t only amounted to murder in the sec ond degree, and that five years in the penitentiary is a sufficient punishment. We cannot believe that this jury believed, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Me Lemore was guilty of this crime, else it's verdict would have been different. But such was the yer dict and to class 1t as a strange one is stating the case mildly.

 Whether Judge Wood could be induced to enter the race for Governor or whether such a course would be best for him we will not undertake to say; but one thing We feel justified in say ing, and as a lover of a high or der in statesmanship we do say. and that is that as Governor of the State Judge Wood would bring to that office a dignity, a wisdom and an honor that would rebound to the welfare of the whole people, and put that high and exalted position above even the suspicion of corrupt or questionable practices or pro- eeedings.

A very remarkable jury verdict has just been made by a Pulaski county jury. Sometime back a young lady by the name of Shill- cut was found. foully murdered, in an old field near Argenta. Subsequently a cousin of the young lady. by the name of Me Lemore. was arrested on suspi- cion of committing the crime. He was tried last week. the evi- dence being altogether circum. stancial, and the jury renbered a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree, and fixed his pun ishment at 5 years in the peni- tentiary.
