POOL wILHITE AGAINST STATE
Petition For A Rehearing in the Case
 Filed in the Supreme Court.

H. l.. Norwood returned from Little Rock Tuesday, where he had been to look after the case of Pool Wilhite against the state. He filed notion Monday in the Supreme court for a rehearing. The Supreme court adjourned yesterday until September 30, and this case will not be considered furthur until court reconvenes. It will be remembered that Pool Wilhite was convicted at the April term of Polk circuit court on an indictment charging him with seduction. An appeal was taken to the Supreme court and that court affirmed the case two weeks ago. The motion filed yesterday asks that the Supreme court reconsider it's decision on the ground that the court did not, in its late opinion. mention the main grounds upon which the attorneys for Wilbite relied for reversal of the case.

 $60,000 in Rent.

Atlanta, Ga. When Governor Hoke Smith affixed his signature to the bill forbidding the manu- fac ure or sale of .intoxicating liquors in Georgia he deprived himself of the sum of $6O,0 ,000.

The lease is for term of years and there is clause providing that in event of prohibition the rent shall be only $7O, GOO a year.
 Governor Hoke Smith owns one-third of the Piedmont hotel, and as the total reduction because of prohibition will be Sl80. .000, the governor signed away just 800, 900 when he approved the state prohibition law.

NO BAIL FOR B. A. GHoLsTON.
Wife Murderer Valves Examination and
 Must Stay in Jail

Fort Smith, July 2l.-B. A. Gholston, who stabbed his wife to death after kissing her Tues- day night, was yesterday denied bail at Green wood until after a hearing, which will be held here Wednesday. Gholston waived a preliminary hearing here in jus tice court Friday and ball was refused yesterday on the ground that the case had not been thor oughly investigated. New devel- opments in the case not brought out by the coroner's jury will, il is believed, put new face on the case. It has been ascertained that the woman was in delicate condition when the killing was done, and that instead of one death Gholston was responsible for two.
 Instead of the fatal gash being the only cut made by the man, there were five knife stabs over the heart, one on the back of the neck and a slash in the abdomen, which would have proved fatal.
 Gholston married tue woman when she was but II years of age, and nine children were born to them. The family formerly re- sided in Wynne, and Gholston has been prominent as an educa- tor and has the distinction of having been admitted to the par in both Louisiana and Arkansas.

GOV. LITTLE'S MIND
 DOES NOT IMPROVE.
Has Good Appetite and Is Taking on Flesh but Does Not Seem to Re- cognize Closest Frieds - Gives
 No Trouble.

Greenwood, July Fl. Although Governor Little rests. we'll and is gaining in both flesh and strength his mental condition is no better than when he returned from Cor pus Christi.
 It was stated yesterday from an authorative source that Governor Little is in a passive condition. By passive it is meant that he does not observe what is taking place around him and that he does not seem to recognize or have an interest ia his closest friends. On occasions he does not seem to recognize those who have known him for years.
 The governor has good appe- lite and eats whatever he wants. He is in the care of a trained nurse and gives no trouble. He has no inclination to refuse treat ment. That he has gained in flesh is noticeable.
 The governor has considerable physical strength, and it IS not believed by his physicians that he is in a critical condition. The most discouraging feature Of the situation is that the mental con- dition of the governor shows no signs of improvement.

few days recently with their parents
of this place.
The game of ball on Saturday between
the college team and that of Gettysburg
college was played at Gettysburg and won
by them in good score of to 2.
Our friend James Adelsberger bet 6
quarter that Mt. St. Mary's team would
win the game on Saturday and in order
that he would not lose the quarter he bet
another person that Mt. st. Mary's would
lose. So our friend James won and has
the laugh that he won and lost nothing
yet each one paid his dues.
Mrs. Sarah Kolb gradually grows worse
and the doctor thinks her condition crit
ical one.
Examinations are now the worrying
subject at the college as it is trying
task for some to recall all that they have
passed through during the year. They
ought to be we'll made as the weather is
favorable.
