 LIVE WIRE
R. Sykes Rescues His Friend From Deadly Current

Further information re eeigea= by tile Grahic Ge&ardjug tho accident to Henry Cady Tuesday brings out the fact that he probably owes his life tn the presence of mind and hefoism of R. Sykes. one of his felow-workm Sykes was on the pole with Cady and when the latter afoaned as the current began to pass through his body Sykes looked up and saw his comrades peril, and without stoppin' tr' think of the risk he himself in cured. grasped Cady's jacket and pulled him down, and helped him to the ground. Sykes might have been just as badly burned as Cady had the current passed from Cady's body into his arm, and rsked bis life to save his friend.
 Cady had been working with the Wire all morning, and his clothes had become somewhat dampened With Tersniration, so that the contact was mlch easier to make. He was work ing between the two wires at the time the accident happened, and it is thought that he was swayed against the wire by the wind He is better today,

LOVING CUP
low Employees in Postoffiee.

happy affair tooiS place in the pli vate office of Postmaster FHrth Tues day evening at { 45 o'clock, at which time all the employees of the post office had assembled to do honor to Mir. R. K. Davis. who on the 18th inst. after q continuous service of thirteen years as a carrier in the Pine Bluff office. voluntarily resigned on account of i'll health.
 By request MT. Davis was asked to come to the office at 7:i5, aud when he arrived he was greeted by Post. Easter Furth and the entire force of the office.
 beautiful and very eloquent address in behalf of the emloyes of the office presented MT. Davis with a large, handsome and very beautiful solid silver loving cup. on which was en- eraved the following:
 "A Token of Love to R. F.. Davis. Presented by Fellow Employcs Post Office. Pine Bluff. Ark, April 15, 1906.
 Nr. Davis was taken absolutely by surprise. and such an unlocked for tribute coming as it did with the hiahest possible testimonials from Postmaster Furth. and eulogies eX- pressed by his late fellow employees, sisib1y affected MT Davis. who, how eyer, after regaining his composufe nose and made a very fitting re- sponse
 During the thirteen years of service in the postofice the record Of MT. Da- wis has been a remarkable one. In all that time he was never tardy at he hours of duty in a single instance, He was never reprimanded for dutF neglected, and the people on the route he carried all esteemed him most hlohly. He was ever courteous and kind: never neglected an opportunity tO do klnd act ellnef to Ills iello" employees or to the patrons Of the office. and a more model worthy pub lie servant could not be found in this ol any other county.
 His associates feel as much Srleved at his resignation as do people he has served so many years.
 The loving cup presented him was a valuable piece of the jewellers art, and is a testimonial and treasure that any man might well be proud to own.

TO SUPREME COURT THE GRIM REAPER
THE G.. o. ID. FIGHT BETWEEN
THE DISTILLERS AND THE
EXPRESS COMPANIES TO
BE CARRIED HIGHER.
Nations Highest Tribunal Will BE
Called Upon to Decide on the
Constitufionality of the Tax
Law Recently Enacted.

The decision of Judge Henry C..
Niles, of the Federal Court at Ok
| ford in sustaining the demurrer filed
! by the American Express Company to
the injunction asked for by the Har-
vest King Distilling Company, the
latter attempting to force the express
company to handle C. O. d. packages
in Mississippi, means that the case
will be taken before the Supreme
Court of the United States, where it
will receive final hearing, says the
Jackson Clarion-Ledger. Papers APP
pealing from the decision will prob
ably be filed at the Nations Capital
within the next few days.
Here a desperate fight will be made
by the whiskey interests to have the
of the legislature declared unconsti-
tional. The most brilliant legal tai
ent which they can employ will be
engaged to conduct the contest for
the liquor dealers, and the battle
promises to be one of the greatest
made before the Supreme Court in
many years.
The Prohibitionists of the State,
and the express company, will also
be represented by the best lawyers
available, and every argument with
in their power will be made to have
the court sustain the law of the COM
mOnWealth.
The fight will be the climax of the
efforts that have been made for the
past eighteen months to have the c.
o. D. trade in the State destroyed
The steps that have heretofore been
taken have been merely preliminary
to this great final struggle. where it
has been long realized by the leading
thinkers that the matter would event
