Washington. d. c. July Notable
as a statesman and diplomat whose
official activities brought him con-
spicuously before the public for many
years. the news of the death of Sec
retary Hay was received here with
most profound regret. Although
aware of the delicate condition of his
health. there was the general expec-
tation that he would rally and that
the long stay in the New Hampshire
mountains would in a measure re-
store him: to health. Hay was never
robust constitution but by scrumption
care he was able to keep in fairly
good health. While his officials du-
ties were congenial to him yet be-
cause of his somewhat impaired ply
sical condition he was reluctant TO re
main in the cabinet and did so only
at urgent solicitation of Roosevelt

tary of State died today at his home
on shore of Lake Sunapee. rhe Hour
of his passing away was 1925 this
morning the last moments were pea
ceful and without struggle The sud
denness of it was staggering. At
midnight all was quiet. Then came
call for physicians. There was col
lapse and twenty-five minutes after
al was over Death was caused by
pulmonary embolism.
Dr. Scudder. who was at the bed
side said today. that last night Hay

Heroic remedies were applied but
they were futile and Mrs. Hay was
called. She was soon ar the bedside
out the patients eyes were already
dull and he seemed unconscious.
The moment of dissolution arrived so
rapidly that his son and daughter ad
no time to reach the room. Grief
and CONSERVATION threw the house
hold into confusion and it was two
hours before DIR. Scudder was able
TO leave the house. He was driven
TO the village where shortly after
three tidings of death were dispa CHI

press that the death was due to Pull

Oyster Bay, June 1.-President
Roosevelt was shocked and grieved
inexpressibly at the death of Secre-
tary Hay. When the President was
at Cambridge, Mass, on "Wednesday
he had consultation with Dr. Jack
son of Boston, who had been sum
moned to the bedside of Secretary
Hay at incipiency of his Illness AS
surances were given by DR.. Jackson
that consulting physicians agreed
with him in the expression of this
opinion President Roosevelt has felt
since Secretary Hay went abroad in
the spring that he might actively re-
sumo his numerous duties as Secre
tary of State but when Hay returned
to Washington his condition was
greatly improved SO that both he and
the president no. that with the s Inn

1t is openly asserted that Gov
ernor Davis will champion the
candidacy of John S, Little for
governor, believing Little is the
man who has the best chance of
defeating "Bob" Rogers. 1t is a
fact that Dave King and John P.
Logan have stood by the COVER

Record has never had any other
opinion Of Gov. Davis than that
he would desert his best friend

ton would, in his judgment, fur

EDITOR FINED FOR CONTEMPT.

At Camden last week, editor
Harry Kapp, Of the Ouachita
Herald, was arrested on com
plant of Chancellor E. O.
Mahoney and charged with con-
tempt Of court.
In the issue Of the Herald of
% the chancellor was
criticised for alleged neglect Of his
official duties. 1t was also de-
clared by the Herald that there
never was any excuse for a chan
Gerry court in this district, and
that it was a fraud on the people;
that chancellor Of ability might
dignity it, but it is burlesque,
a freak and a graft. The chan
cellor took special exception to
this last statement and held that
it had reference to the court.
The defendant, through his
attorney, argued that it had re-
ference To the law creating the
Chancery Court. Judge Mahoney
could not see it in this light, and
imposed a fine Of S25, which was
promptly paid by some friends OF
the Herald.
Before assessing the fine Chan
cellor Mahoney stated that it had
been his original intention to send
Editor Kapp to Jail,

The one-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. King Gregory of
Chester, a small town in the
northern part of Crawford county,
was 8trangled to death in a Pc
culiar manner one morning last

Youna Men And The Farm.

1t may sound a little startling,
but it is said to be true, that more
young men are learning trades IN
the penitentiaries than out OF
them, because parents are trying
to make clerks, doctors, lawyers
and even preachers out OF
material intended for blackslniths,
carpenters and other trades OF
mechanics. The trouble is the
boys are eager to avoid the labor
of life, and too anxious to follow
some calling that will not soil
their hands, and parents are to
blame for this. Boys should be
taught that there is more dignity
in manual labor than in lOating,
and more honor in toiling than in
dependence. The Arkansas farm
er boy today will find that with
the same energy and push en-
ployed on the farm which he
would have to use in profession,
even to make fair success, he
will spend the declining years of
his life in ease and happiness

My father served as Deputy
Sheriff under Sheriff l.. B. Poel
in 1847 and 184S, and had the
west end of the county for his
territory. have heard him say
that he had ridden as far as five
miles to collect a tax of forty
cents. In these days there were
no county warrants or scrip in
circulation in Lawrence county.
The county was not in debt, and
each taxpayer paid his taxes in
currency.
The County Courts then con-
sisted of the County Judge and
two Justices Of the Peace OF the
county. At the first term Of the
County Court after each general
election, all of the Justices of the
Peace in the county were re-
uuired oy law to meet at the
court house on the first day Of
court and elect two of their num-
Der as Associate Judges, to serve
with the Judge in holding the
County Courts, levying the tax,
making the appropriations and
transacting all other business Of
the county. At the first term Of
the County Court after each Cir
cult Court, the County Court was
required to select the grand jury
to serve at the next term Of the
Circuit Court. The jury was
selected secretly, and the Clerk
would issue the venire as soon as
the court adjourned and give it
to the Sheriff, who would Of once
summons this grand jury secretly
and enjoin secrecy upon the
juror. Thus the people would
not know who composed the jury
until it was called at court. The
County Court did not make any
selections for the petit jury.
These jurors were picked up by
the Sheriff from among the by
ISLANDERS at court.

"reminiscences of the Settlement of Evening Shade and
Immediate Vicinity by c. W. Shaver, Pioneer.

Jack Hodges 9gCaptain, which
hal regular days for drilling,
ESch militiaman carried his rifle
gCn or old musket with him on
dell days and several hours were
spent in drilling each day they
ca@e together. Captain Hodges
More uniform, consisting of a
lofg, blue military coat and a
losg, broad, red sash, which went
tTce around his waist, both ends
Of which reached the ground. In
thiS sash he hung and carried his
6 3ilyor-mounted sword. He wore
q tail, black, silk hat, with long
and beautiful red and white
plumes fastened on one side,
These plumes were much longer
thaa the hat was tail.
Mastering days were always
great days for the people. 1t
seemed that most everybody liv-
ing near enough, men, women
anG children, went to see the
militia drill. Captain Hodges
was pretty well up in his duties
as q commanding officer, and
had a strong, loud voice His
commands could be heard very
distinctly, and very man
seemed TO do his best 10 obey
them.
Ca drill days, house-raising
and rail il-mauling days were the
only times the people could get
together in those days, for there
>wer no public spoakings to at
tond, and no towns, stores, gro
s'iy.}1 wlA.s!-e IsAop5 ,b whicA
the people might collect. But on
the days mentioned above, there
was always large crowd OF both
old and young on hand, and
everybody seemed glad to meet
and see everybody else, and
everybody seemed to be in a
good humor with everybody,
Everybody wanted to have a
good, pleasant, jolly tine during
the day, and 60 home at night
we'll pleased and satisfied that
the day had been we'll and pleas
antly spent.
After a while Captain Hodges
became tired of his position, and
my father was elected Captain OF
the militia, and, as he nad to get
a military suit, he bought Cap
tain Hodges entire uniform. |
do not know what the suit was
valued at, but | remember very
well that my father gave him a
very good horse for the outfit.

A FRENCH OPINION.
The Russian Idea of Reducing Japan's
 Naval Strength.

Paris, April 1O.-The authorities. here are satisfied that the Russian second Pacific squadron will not seek to aput in at Saigon, French Cochin China, as the shallow harbor does not permit of the entrance of deep draft warships.
 The immlnence Of naval battle arouses the keenest interest here. NJ. Bernet, the naval critic of the Temps, is also of the opinion. previously ex- pressed in other quarters, that Admiral Rojestvensl1ys plans of inhicting losses equal to his and thus reducing the Japanese naval effectiveness so that the remaining Russian ships reinforce ed by Admiral Nebogatoff's division of the second Pacific squadron from Ji- butil (French Somaliland) will permit Russia to present an equal if not a greater sea power than the Japanese In the meantime, M. Rernet asserts that the second Pacific squadron is likely to seize the Dutch Island of Great Natuna for use as a base. jus tifying it's course by the Japanese use of the Miatos Islands.
