LEE COUNTY IS
 Al
Strong Voice of a Representative of the Farmers Raised
 Against Davis.

Judge c. D. Wood has received the following encouraging report from a prominent citizen of Lee county:
 sOld Lee is just as sure to go for Wood as am to vote for him. l have just returned from the five bottom townships of Lee and everything is all o. K. over there. l enclose you a clipping from the Courier that one of my old county friends wrote. This man is as good a man as you will find in the state. Put your time in somewhere else and don't worry about Lee, for she is all o. K. z
 The clipping is as follows:
 PROTEST AGAINSY DAvISISM.
 Eleener Township.
 MT. Editor: I address this communication to all whom it may concern; every Democratic voter in the state of Arkansas who expects to vote in the com ing primary for a Democratic nominee for the governorship of the state. As an humble Demo- cratic voter of the farming ele- ynent feel like raising my voice in protest against the nomina- tion of Jeff Davis for reelection to that high and responsible pol sition, one which he has abused most outrageously since having it. For the sake of our mothers, wives and daughters, especially those living in the country, ire quently in an unprotected state, fathers, sons and brothers being off in the fields at work or off of the premises on business, I deem it the sacred duty of every lover of true Womanhood to use his in- f1uence and cast his vote against the reelection of this pardoner of an incestuous father and a black rapist. Judging the future by the past, what protection would the purity of woman have at the hands of a self-confessed adult erer, as he is anyway?
 As a son of an ex-Confederate soldier l call upon all such to lend their influence and vote to defeat for the highest office in their gift such a character as Davis has proven himself to be. Arise, brother Democrats of Lee coun- ty, and relegate this demagogue to the rear!

MANS UNREASONABLE SIN.


 The unpardonable sin among men should be that of ingrati- tude. To be deceived by those whom we have loved and trusted causes the heart to turn to stone and the temper to gall.
 Mans inhumanity to man has caused thousands to mourn and the treachery of woman has caused confidence to flee and give way to mistrust, doubt and fear. No man can overcome the lasting effect of deception practiced up- on him by pretended friends, and in time he loses confidence in mankind. All is said to be fair in love, war and politics, but it is not true. Honesty and fair dealing are essential to confi- dence and trust in all the rela- tions of life, and the person who spurns them in any of the walks of earth will find himself without honor and friends sooner or later. -Ex.

Un1CeQ States Senator 58xLle9 4s| Jones to Hon. ]. H. Crawford of Philadelphia:
 Hope, Ark, Jan. 2, 1904. Hon. J. H. Crawford:
 My Dear Sir: Yours is thieI minute received. If Governox Davis had confined his claim t fighting me openly, that would have been true, but to claim tl1 it was openly and honorab done, it is most preposter ous. His campaign against n1e was the most dishonorable and disreputable l ever heard of, It was a tissue of wilful falsehoods, all of which were again and again exposed, but this did not check Gov. Davis reiteration of them. l regard him as the most unprincipled man l ever saw in ' prominent place.
 Judge Wood, as I allalonR ,lll- derstood, was a supporter of il1y opponent. He had at no tif1e made any statement to the con- trary to me or any friend of mine. For the sake of decency and the good name of the state hope every good man in the state will vote for Judge Wood, and | will do so myself. am not taIx- ing an active part in the contest, but l am citizen of the state and love her honor and good nallae and do not hesitate to s whenever asked my opinion, ti1a l pray that the state may saved from the shame and dis- < grace of a third term as govern or, for such a man as Gov. Davie is known to be to all intelligent men all over the whole country.

MRS. BLACK RELEASED.
Story of Shooting of Greer By Doctor B. E. Black, Former
 ly a Newport Dentist.

VII ViiV oCCcIlu VI JdIIudI,y DIi \ B. E. Black, formerly a dentist of this city, who was given tt drinking spells, during which time he was hardly accountable for his acts, shot and killed William Greer, an employe in the railroad office at Muskogee, In. dian Territory. News of the tragedy reached this city several days ago, but the details of the affair were not known until g copy of the Muskogae Phoenix was received.
 Mrs. Black, after the shooting, was immediately placed under arrest, but after an examination, in which not the slightest in eliminating evidence was found against her, she was released.
 To the Phoenix reporter she told the story of the crime as follows: Upon her return from Corsicana, Texas, where she had been nursing her sick mother, she found that her husband had been on one of his drinking spells, at which times he was in sanely jealous and had often threatened to kill her.
 He charged her with being in- innate with William Greer and demanded that she accompany him to Greer's office. She re- fused at first to go, whereupon he threatened to kill her if she did not go; she then agreed upon condition that he promise not to do any violence to Greer, stating he was guilty of no offense. Dr. Black pledged his honor not to have any trouble and about 8 o'clock they went together to the Katy ticket office. When they went in the doctor and Mir. Greer spoke as usual to each other. Dr. Black asked Greer to accompany them to his office, but Greer at first refused, stating that he did not have time. He afterwards consented.
 When they arrived at the office the doctor opened the door and, pointing to a seat, closed it and said, Take that seat, Mir. Greer. " Mir. Greer seated him. self and had scarcely done so when the doctor drew the pistol from his bosom, saying, You have destroyed the peace of my self and wife, z and fired at him. Greer sprang toward the doctor and she ran out in the hall, call ing for help, and saw nothing further that took place in the office.
 She said that she did not think MT. Greer ever suspected he was in danger up to the moment of the shooting; that they had been boarding at the same place ever since they had been in this city; that Mir. Greer was a nice young gentleman who was on friendly terms with all who knew him, and during all the time they have been here Mir. Greer had never by sign, look, word or token made any familiar advances to- ward her, and that he was inno- cent.
 Mrs. Blacks manner in detail ing this awful tragedy impresses one very strongly of the truth of her statements, and Mrs. Rob- ertson, the keeper of the board ing house at which the parties stayed, and her family are unani- nous in the statement that Mrs. Blacks character was above re- proach.
 The death of Greer, which fol- lowed, will make it hard for his murderer, who may pay the death penalty, and if not, is in all probability good for a long peni- tentiary sentence.

SERVICES LAST NIGHT.
DIR. Arthur S. Lloyd, of New York, al
Church of Good Shepherd.

Last night Rev DR.. Arthur $. Lloyd,
Secretary of the General Mission Board
of New York, made an address on
what we have to do with missionary
work, how it concerns us. A large
congregation heard him with intense
interest for he is a very magnetic
speaker, a man that compels atten-
ton. He has done a great work in his
position. He is a strong man. one
can see that at a glance, in the con-
tour lines of his keen, strong, ascetic
face and his frame that looks as If it
had an iron will, a stern master.
Bishop Cheshire presided al the
meeting, and the first address was by
Rev. II. Baldwin Dean, of Greensboro,
who showed how we ought to bear tes-
timony to the Lord in three ways: with
the mouth, by gifts and in our lives.
Dr. Lloyd brought out the point that
we had the chance to give other peo-
pies the opportunity we ourselves had
had, of knowing Christ, and so having
something we could want more than
the mere things of the world and the
flesh. The worst and the widest cry
is from the misery of those who in
helplessness have never had chance.
At Christ Church Archdeacon Os-
borne, of Charlotte, presided, and Rev.
George NJ Tolson, of Oxford; Mr.. j..
Cameron Buxton, of Winston, and
Rev Harris Mallinchrodt, of Char
lotte, made missionary addresses.
At st. Ambrose church Archdeacon
Pollard presided and Rev. j. w. Per-
ry, Virgil n. Bond and Wiley Latham
made talks on the subject of missions.

dent and manager, James f. Barns,
who is not a member of the Cripple
Creek District Mine owners Associa-
ton, conceded the demands of the
union when the strike was inaugu-
rated last August and has steadily
given employment to about 500 men.
General Bell also issued a procla-
nation calling on all persons to re-
frain from violence and to resume
their usual occupations.
The commission appointed by Bell
to inquire into the records of the
miners under arrest reported to him

NO PROMISE OF IMMUNITY.
Gummere Instructed to Refuse Such
Pledge to the Bandit Raisuli.
(By the Associated Press. }

(By the Associated HreSS.)
Washington, June 9.-Secretary Hay
today cabled Consul General Gum
mere, at Tangier, instructions for
dealing with the brigand Railsuli, the
point of which is a positive injunction
to refrain from committing the United
States government to any guarantee
of immunity for the brigandS or in
any way to take any action that would
amount to the recognition of the right
of brigandage and blackmail in
Morocco. This attitude will be adj
hered to regardless of consequences
to Perdicaris.
A cablegram received at the State
Department late this afternoon from
Consul General Gummere at Tangier,
dated today states that negotiations
for the release of Perdicaris and
Marley are still in progress, but that
the Sultan's reply to Raisuli's de-
mands as to ransom has not yet
reached the bandit.
Tangier, June 9.-The American
consul has sent two uDarmed marines
to the residence of Countess De
Buisserat (formerly Miss Story, OF
New York;, wife of the Belgian Min
ister The countess is living in an
isolated house, and as the count, her
husband, is at Fee, the marines were
sent to her home as precautionary
measure. These are the only Ameri-
can marines landed here.
The Sultans troops at Tangier have
received orders to proceed to Fee.
Thus another of Railsuli's conditions
has been granted.

as caused by anxiety to hamper as
much as possible whatever movement
General Kuropatkin may be making to
help Port Arthur. Not only have the
Japanese bombarded the west coast of

runs close to the shore, making feints
of liberalization, but General Kuroki
has assumed the offensive eastward.
He has sent an overpoWering strong
column that drove out the Russians
from a fortified position at SaimatZe,
twenty miles northwest of Feng Wang
Cheng, inf1icting a loss of one hum
dred men. The authorities say that
they are without information concern
ing the fight at SaimatZe beyond the
official dispatch that was made public
tonight, but that the Russian with
drawal was quite in accordance with
General KuropatkinS prearranged
plan, although the Russian losses indi-
Gated stubborn fighting. Military crit
profess to be not altogether certain

cans a real advance or is simply a
int to distract Russian attention

EVENTS IN THE YOUNG MYSTERY
Warrant for Mrs. PaterSOn'S Brother
n-Law-COunsel Won't Let Her
Appear Before Grand Jury.
CIV the Associated Press.

New York, June AT the request
of some of the grand jurors, Assist
ant District Attorney Rand thDs af-
ternoon wrote to counsel for
Mrs. Patterson asking that
she be permitted to testify before the
grand jury, and explain her case. Her
counsel, after a conference as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of granting the request.
replied that they will not allow their
client to go before the grand jury.
Their letter says:
From our conscientious under
standing of the facts attending the
unfortunate death of Mr.. Young, we
are thoroughly convinced that no in
dictment would be returned by this or
other grand jury, If the evidence or
e-witnesses and Others whose state
ments the district attorney has al
ready taken is submitted to that body.
"Under these conditions. we can
conceive of nothing which Mrs. Pat
terSOn can or SnOuid De called upon
to explain
Mr.. Levy said that he had received
many letters from people who say
they were witnesses to the shooting
and that his firm would see the writer
of each other. Mr.. Levy added that
Henry A. Katz. is travelling sales
man and since the shooting has been
out of the city.
Judge Newburger, in the Court of
General Sessions, has issued a body
attachment for J. Morgan Smith,
brother-in-law of Mrs. Patterson.
This is practically the same as a
warrant. This attachment was issued
on an affidavit of a policeman who
swore that subponae was issued for
Smith for today but hat he failed to
appear.
Assistant District Attorney Rand
today had long consultation with
the widow of the dead man, Mrs.
Young, who subsequently went to the
grand jury room.
1t was said today by he police that
they have positive evidence that the
revolver with which Young was killed
was brought from a pawnbroker on
Friday last, the day before the trag-
edy, by a man who was accompanied
by a woman. 1t is understood that the
pawn broker has seen Mrs. Patterson
and has not identified her as the
woman who was with the purchaser
of the revolver.
