Come to the Record oiiic
for your legal blanks.
Begin the year right by SUBJ
soriding for the Sharp County
Record.
The Record acknowledges
itself indebted to Virgil Har-
rison for a cartwheel on subscrip-
ton.
The young people were
pleasantly entertained the last
night Of the old year at the home
of Mrs. j. W. Shell.
TO the Justices of the Peace:
Buy your subpoenas and sum-
mons from the Record. They
are cheap, and will save you time
and worry.
Rev. j. D. Kelly, the new
pastor Of the Evening Shade cir
cult, was given a good "pound-
ing" by number of his congre-
cation here one night last week.
Hardy Lodge, No. 109, 1. o.
| o. F., has elected the following
officers for 1903; c. V. Morgan,
N. G., A. P. John, V. g., A. S.
East Sec, August Bertram,
Treas.
One hears but very little
about "that railroad" now,
although it is believed by many
that the work of construction on
the road will begin when spring
comes.
-"Success to the Record and
old Arkansas" says W. S. Was
son Of Plainview, Texas, in re-
newing his subscription. Mr..
Wasson formerly lived in the cas-
tern part Of Sharp county.
The old year was rang out
and the new rang in in good
shape at this place. To the
midnight slumberer, sleeping two
rows at a time, it seemed as if
every bell in the township was in
the jingle.
&C. W. Crutsinger of st. Lou
is, manufacturer Of printers roll
ers, is sending out a New Years
greeting in the shape of card,
bearing a unique inscription. It
says: "May this year be the best
you ever have seen, and the worst
you ever will see.'
=5The students of the Evening
Shade High.asSchool rendered a
program at the court house last
Friday night before a large crowd.
The audience was well entertain
ed. These entertainments by the
students are always instructive,
as we'll as full of interest.
Large tracts Of land have re-
Gently bean bought in Howell
county along the Rock Island
survey by eastern capitalists.
The Crane ranch on the state
line has been sold for $4,000.
The purchase of these lands
causes a revival of the rumor
that the line from Belle via West
Plains. Mo-, AMI Salem, Ark, to
Newport will be built at an early
date, says the West Plains Ga
zette.

a Marvellous Invention

Wonders never cease. A machine
has been invented that will cut,
paste and hang wall paper, The
held of inventions and discoveries
seems to be unlimited. Notable
among great discoveries is Dr.
Kings New Discovery for Con
sumption. 1t has done a world of
good for weak lungs and saved many
a lie, Thousands have used it and
conquered grip, bronchitis, pneu>
mona and consumption. Their gem
eral verdict is: ut the best and
most reliable medicine for throat and
lung troubles. Every soc and 81 90
bottle is guaranteed by W. G. Snow
the druggist. Trial bottles free.

Concerning the pardon of
Henderson Davis, which was
mentioned in our last issue, an
Evening Shade correspondent OF
the Arkansas Democrat says:
Henderson Davis, a notice of
whose pardon by the governor
last week was chronicled in "The
Democrat" a few days ago, has
been dead aboutnineteen months.
This pardon is probably the out
come of a wordy contest between
the late county Judge, Hon. j.
w. Smith, and Sheriff Hutchinson,
who had failed to collect the fines
imposed on Davis from his secur-
tiles. Perhaps the rule that
formerly obtained, that q pardon,
to be effective, should be accepted,
like deed, is obsolete now.'

Public Opinion Approves.

Because of his refusal to grant the
application for bail made by former
Lieutenant Governor James II
Tillman through his counsel public
opinion is pronounced in approval
of Chief Justice Y j Pope. The
hearing, which was continued from
Newberry. took place in Columbia
last Thursday and numerous affida-
Wits were introduced to show, on the
one hand, that the killing of Editor
Gonzales was done in cold blood and
with malice; and ON the other hand,
that Tillman acted in self-defense,
believing that his life was in jeop-
ardy.
Under the law and the evidence
it is generally agreed that Iillman
could not have been admitted to bail;
vet there were many who freely pre-
dicted that bail would be granted.
In this case the newly elected Chief
Justice had an opportunity to rise
above partizan feeling and he has
shown himself equal to the occasion.
The ruling Of the Chief Justice
does not imply that Tillman will
be found guilty of murder; that is a
question for the jury to decide. 1t
does mean, however, that the sue
cessor to the lamented McIver is not
unmindful Of the grave RESPONSE
bility of the high office he holds nor
of the traditions handed down by u
long line of distinguished predeces-
sors.

The inquiry of "School Boy" con-
cerning the history of the Confed-
crate flag touches upon a subject OF
vital interest to every true Southerner

proud commonwealth that first de-
clared for State sovereignty and the
right to secede and set up a govern

The story of the Confederate
HagAthe, emblem of the Lost
Cause-whose folds were ensan-
sguined by the blood of our heroes on
4 hundred battle fields in the long
and bloody struggle that followed
secession, should be familiar to
every boy and girl IN our schools;
but the innocent inquiry of "School
Boy" indicates sad lack of
knowledge on this most important
subject.

An Oil Mill for Kingstree.

Quietly and without parade or
oetentatlon Kingstree is steadily
forging to the front. For some
ti,ns without noise or excitement
several of our leading business men
have been working up an oil mill
with!th result that last week, be-
fore We went to press, enough capl-
tai had been subscribed or was
available to build and eq uip a twenty
ton cotton oil mill and modern
system of gins.
It:is useless to argue the benefit
Of such an enterprise to our town
and county. Year after year enough
cotton seed has been shipped out OF
the oeunty and bought again by the
farmers in the shape of meal and
hullsier the freight alone to pay a
fair dividend on the capital invested
in an oil mill. In addition to this
fit will bring the consumer and the
producer together and keep at home
thousands of dollars that have gone
elsewhere 10 help build up other
towns and counties.
Now that the project has taken bus
mess shape We are Informed that the
promoters will soon make applica-
ton for charter in order that no
time may be lost before commenc-
ing work on the building, in order
that it may be completed and the
machinery in place BY the opening
Of the next cotton season.

the United States could pardon, but he could not interfere. If you believe that any one has given instructions tending to prevent the fullest investf- gation into the commission of a crime in the United States and the return ing of an indictment, if the evidence so warrants, then you should be inspir- ed by an additional determination to do your duty. The court has knowledge of the instructions to which the dis trict attorney alludes. It is proper 10 say that it is my opinion there has been no intention of encroaching upon your sworn duty or judicial domain. ''

TALK FOR TUSKEGEE
 BY MIR. CLEVELAND
At a Meeting in Behalf of That Institu-
 tion Last Night.

New York, April 14.-Former Presi- dent Grover Cleveland was the princi- pal speaker at a meeting held in the Concert hall, Madison Square Garden, in the interest of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institution. Among those on the platform with MT. Cleve- land were Mayor Low, who presided; Booker T. Washington. Dr. Lyman Abbott, President Nicholas, Murray But Ter and Dean ]. NanAmringe of Col umbia, W. H. Baldwin, Chancellor Me Cracken Of New York university, John Dewitt Warner and C. E. Peabody. Mrs. Cleveland sat in the gallery with Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, who are Mr. Cl1Veland's hosts while he is in the city.
 MT. Cleveland, who was greeted with prolonged applause as he was intro ducod by Mayor Low, said he believed that neither the decree that made the slaves free. nor the enactment that suddenly invested them with the rights of citizenship any more purSed them of their racial and slavery bred imperfec- tions and deficiencies than that it changed the color of their skin. q be- lieVe," said ne, that among the near ly nine million of negroes who have been intermiXed with our citizenship there is still a grevious amount of ig- norance, a sad amount of viciousness and Q tremendous amount of laziness and thriftlessness.
 Tn summing up the whole matter there is one thing of which We can be absolutely certain. When We aid Tuskegee institute and agencies like it, striving for the mental and manual education of the negro at the south, we are from every point of view rend- ering him the best possible service. Whatever may be his ultimate destiny we are thus helping to fit him for filling his place and bearing it's responsibili- ties. We are sowing well in the south at the bottom of life the seeds of the black mans development and useful nc~~"

THE PORTO RICAN
 SMUGGLING CASES
The Grand Jury Disposed to Investi-
 gate in Spite of Instructions.

San Juan, April 14.-The grand jury is Investigating the smuggling cases in which officers of the United States navy and other prominent men are in volved. notwithstanding the instruc-
 tions, which, it is stated, District At torney Pettingill has received from the
 department of justice at Washington
 not to present information to the grand jury at this term. The press and ma
 tives have practically demanded an
 investigation, inasmuch as during last
 term a native merchant named Ricardo Armendo was sentenced to a years confinement in the penitentiary and Q fine of S100 for having contra band liq- uor in his possession.
 This afternoon the grand jury cams into court and asked for information
 The foreman said: Ut has come to
 our knowledge that certain cases Of
 smuggling have occurred. We have
 asked the district attorney about the
 matter, and he refused to bring up the
 matter, alleging that he had received certain instructions. We now ask the judge if we have a right to information in spite of the district attorneys re- fusal?"
 Judge Holt had prepared a written
 charge. the reading of which caused Q sensation. He said in part: When you were impaneled at the beginning
 of the term you swore that you would make a diligent inquiry into such mat ters given to you or which might other
 wise come to. your knowledge touchins
 viola ations of the statutes of the United
 States and that you would make no presentment through hatred, favor envy, affection or reward or through hope thereof. You could not, if you so
 desired, escape from the obligations of
 your oath by needing the instructions
 of any one. The honored president Of
