Since his dismissal from the police
force, in June, following the World S
graft exposures, Carruth has repeated
ly declared his personal hatred for
Scott, talking freely ofvengeance.
Carruth is man of about thirty.
Formerly he was employed as pound
officer of the department, gaining the
rank of patrolman only about a year
ago. Beyond bare denial of his guilt,
he will make no statement.
Public feeling in Helena is at fever
heat. Nine tenths of the people of the
city are outspoket partisans of the
World and its campaign for better gov
eminent. The investigation relating to
the murder will be pushed with the
utmost vigor, and another effect of this
crisis is undoubtedly to be a complete
wiping out of the ''dive" district.
LATER:-Billy Archdale, the bar
keeper for Newly, has also been ar
rested charged with the crime, and
seven negroes are held as witnesses.

The Fair at Russell Springs, closing
last Friday, was not as largely attended
as usual, and there was but little stock
from distance on exhibition. Russell
county made good showing, and there
were number of interesting rings.
There were several outside attractions,
but the most drawing one was the ba-

faultlessly. Good order prevailed dur

While the attendance was not as large

GREAT IS THY FAITH.

The above was Rev. j. F. ClaycOmb's
text at Presbyterian Church Sunday
morning:
Although there was a small congrega-
ton present, possibly on account of the
intense heat of the atmosphere, yet
that did not lessen the interest Of
the Rev. Claycomb's sermon at
the Presbyterian church Sunday fore
noon. The speaker was not at his best,
because of having been i'll during the
past week, but he delivered discourse
that would have beeu credit to man
of more mature years and experience
in the Gospel field.
Rev. Claycomb handled his subject
in manner which was plain and point
ed, and his conclusions were the views
of deep thinker: sound reasoner and
a logical interpreter of the meaning Of
the Scriptures.
He is Jealous in the work of the MIN
lstry, and young man should at all
times receive encouragement, and a
hearty God speed in whatever calling
he may have chosen in life. F. Mel

REMAINS ARRIVE.

The remains of Mr.. j. McScott, who
was assassinated at Helena, Ark, last
Sunday morning week, reached Column
bia Thursday morning following, about
daylight. They were Immediately con-
veyed to the Garrett graveyard. on
Glensfork, and there inferred, after a
short discourse delivered by Ed. z. T..
Williams, a large circle of relatives and
friends being present.
The body was well preserved, and ap-
parently had not moved in the casket
from the time it left Helena. The
wife and friends of the dead highly ap-
preciate the kindness manifested by
the deceased Arkansas friends.
AS is generally known, MIR. Scott
was City Editor of the Helena Daily
World when the assassin fired the fatal
shots, but the particulars of the crime
have not reached here. 1t is known
that a local election was on hand, and
that the World had been fighting hard
for one faction, yet a dispatch to the
Little Rock Gazette states that the as
sassination, it is believed, did not grow
out of the municipal election, and there
was actually no clue to the perpetrator
of the foul deed. 1t further stated that
every effort would be made to run down
the criminal, the whole city of Helena
being aroused.
Mr.. Scott was evidently valuable
man on the World, as much caution
was taken in preparing the body for
shipment, it arriving here in a copper
lined casket. The deceased was born
in Cumberland county SO years ago.
When he was II years old his parents
removed to Texas, where young Scott
lived until he became a citizen of Adair
county, eight or nine years ago. His
father and mother are dead. He has
one sister living in Texas, and his wife
and little son reside within three miles
of Columbia. To the bereaved, this
paper extends it's sympathy.
