IT WAS FUNNY.
A funny sight was seen about 6 o'clock
last night Some one dropped bag OF
sugar on the square and left the contents
Of the bursted bag where II fell. A
few minutes after the sugar was discov-
cred by a little boy and girl about six
years old and II was laughable to see
them scoop up the saccharine substance

The amount of work which falls to the
lot OF the present town council breaks all
records. The council inaugurated the
semi-monthly system OF paying the police
and employees of the highway department.
which necessitated an extra meeting in
the middle OF the month for the auditing
of the pay rolls. Gradually the volume OF
business has became so great that these
semi-monthly meetings are protracted
affairs OF nearly equal, IL not quite. inn
portance as the regular monthly meet
ings. The latter portion of these meeting
are frequently executive sessions. from
which the old council formed a precedent.
The reason assigned for this is said TO be
that there is better opportunity for free
discussion Of some OF the measures which
come before the council

MERRIMAN NOT THE
 ONLY IMMORAL MAN.

When Judge Merriman was a kid lieutenant in the army, engaged in sowing fine large crop of wild oats, he was dismissed from the service for offenses under the head of immoral conduct, and Jeff Davis is telling it on him from the stump. Does Jeff re- member that Hot Springs episode when he had champaign foot bath and was so drunk he got down on the floor and offered up his posterior to be kicked by those Wisconsin editors? And does he fail to recall the fact that the First Baptist church of Little Rock dismissed him for gross immortality? Has he forgotten his boast that he was "quart Baptist?" The World does not happen to know Judge Merriman, but if he is as onery cuss as Jeff Davis, he ought to be made to move on.-Helena World.

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Bank of Devall's Bluff Short Ten Thousand Dollars Through Man
 agement of Cashier Strong.

DeVall's Bluff, Aug. 7.The Bank of DeVall's Bluff was today placed in the hands of a receiver by Chancellor El- liott of Pine Bluff. w. H. Morrow, the temporary cashier of the bank, is named as receiver.
 The Bank of DeVall's Bluff began business about three years ago. George 0. Strong was elected cashier at the organization of the bank, and had served in that capacity until four weeks ago, when the directors de- manded his resignation.
 On the Fourth of July last Cashier Strong visited Little Rock and was taken seriously i'll at the Capital hotel. Pending his return the directors be- gan an investigation of the banks af- fairs. The books and accounts of the bank were found in such tangle that for the moment it's condition could not be ascertained.
 It now transpires that ten to twelve thousand dollars of the banks funds are missing. Cashier Strong has been arrested, and at preliminary hearing was placed under bail to await the ac- tion of the grand jury in September.
 Strong cooly admits using the banks funds and states that he thought he had deals on the string whereby he would be able to replace all the funds used of the banks. A persistent run has been made on the bank for the past three weeks, and on yesterday it was deemed best for all concerned that the banks affairs be placed in the hands of receiver. The depositors will be paid in full.
 Mir. Strong was an active member of the Presbyterian church and superin- tendent of the Sabbath school and widely known in Little Rock, Camden and Wichita, Kan. It will be remem- bered that the bank he was connected with at the latter place went under. Mir. Strong came here very highly recommended by parties at Wichita, Peoria and Little Rock.

VIGOROUS DENIAL
 ENTERED BY WITT.
Fuller's Affidavit is Not True, Says Penitentiary Physician Witt, Who
 States His Case Under Oath.

In reply to the affidavit of Repre- sentative c. A. Fuller of Carroll county, also member of the law firm of James & Fuller at Eureka Springs, pr. c. E. Witt, penitentiary physician, has deposed as follows:
 My attention has been called to the affidavit of 0. A. Fuller, present rep I resentative from Carroll county, rela l tive to the pardon of Dr. Lee Johnson, 1 part of which is as follows:
 l '''I applied to Dr. Witt, the peni- tentiary physician, upon several occa- sions for this certificate, and on those i several occasions he promised to give it to me, but finally said he would not do so because l was not voting right on penitentiary matters which came up before the house; that I was not voting against the governor, but was voting against the penitentiary inter- ests, and would therefore not give the certificate to me-
 l "This statement of MT. Fuller is a falsehood, pure and simple. did not refuse at any time to give him cer- 1 tificate showing Johnson's actual phy- sical condition, and would have done so cheerfully had Ae wanted it, but he refused to accept this, saying the certificate must show that his health is failing; that he cannot live out his 1 sentence, and that it is necessary to
 GA certificate from me reciting the above facts would have justified par don under section 5530 of the digest, but 1 could not give 1t as Johnson was not seriously i'll. He was at the time of Mir. Fuller's visits to the peniten- tiary temporarily in the hospital, suf- fering from an attack of hemorrhoids, 1 from which, with slight operation, he was permanently cured. There has never been time since Johnson's confinement in the penitentiary that the certificate asked for by MT. Fuller and required by the statute could have been made. During the first three months after he came here he was in bad health, but since that time his general health has been good, con sidering his age, and the hospital record shows that during the last eighteen months he has been confined there on three occasions, as follows: March Is, 1902. to March 24, 1902, for rheumatism; May 30, 1902, to June 6, 1902, for malaria; December 25, 1902, to January 30, 1903, for hemorrhoids. The way Mir. Fuller voted in the legis- lature was not mentioned or thought of by me in connection with this mat ter, and the statement made by him is utterly devoid of truth and wholly without foundation. O. E.

POISONED WHISKY
 SENT BY EXPRESS
City Marshal Guy Tucker of ElDorado Was Intended Victim Sampled by Sheriff Who Came Near
 Dying.

Fl Dorado, Aug. 7.-An effort to poison City Marshal Guy Tucker here today came near resulting in the death of Sheriff w. G. Pendleton. Tucker received a notice from the express company that there was package in the office for him, charges prepaid. He sent down and got it. It proved to be half gallon jug of whisky, en- closed in box. 1t had the label of Camden firm on it, and Tucker sup posed that it was sent him by some friend. He and Pendleton are friends, so he asked Pendleton to take drink with him.
 Pendleton noticed that the whisky was very bitter. Tucker then thought of foul play, and merely tasted the liquor. He at once got D R. A. Hil- ton, and by the prompt use of emetics Pendleton's life was saved. He was very sick for about two hours.
 Herbert Pendleton and Tucker were also sick from the small amount they took. Investigation of the bill at the express office showed that the whisky had been shipped from Texarkana.
 Tucker has signified his intention of resigning and leaving for parts un- known, as he says he cannot resort to the means employed by his enemies
 Investigation showed that large quantity of strychnine had been used in the whisky.

Seizure at Saluda,

Constable II. B. Perry seized four
gallons and three quarts Of liquor while
at Saluda Court House Saturday morn
ing. Mr.. Perry had spent the night in
Saluda looking for his pacties, and sue
ceeded in making the capture about
$3.50 Saturday morning.
The liquor had just been purchased
from the dispensary at Saluda by two
negroes who gave their names as Grose
Walker and James Williams. Mr..
Perry had every reason to believe that
the negroes bought the liquor for the
purpose of carrying it through Green
wood and retailing it in small quantities,
as these two negroes had been doing
heretofore. The liquor was brought to
Newberry.
