Hon. R. ]. Williams represented the petitioners before the county court of Cross coanly, on the question of is suing saloon license. few days ago. and although Judge Gooch refused to grant license it is said that the work and argument of our fellow townsman were of most brilliant and telling character, yirt ually annihilating every theory of the judge on the law, and forcing him to rely solely on his pre- rogatiye. Hearers proclaim the speech of Senator Williams one of the finest ever made before any bar in Eastern Arkansas. It pleases us to learn that the ability and services of our local talent are so much sought after and appreciated by citizens of neighboring cities, and we congratulate Senator Williams upon the good impression he has made upon the people of Wynne as lawyer of great versa tili6y, regardless of their views upon the questions involved.

LIFE SAVED BY A
 PLUG OF TOBACCO.
How Hicks. the Entombed Miner. Was Able to Endure the Hor- TOTS of His Fifteen Days
 Imprisonment

The whole country was intensely in terested a few days ago, in the efforts made to rescue Linsey E. Hicks. miner, who was entombed for fifteen days, sixty feet under ground, as re- suit of cave-in at Bakersfield, Cali fornia. He heard around him the de- spairing cries of his companions, who were crushed to the earth by the fal- ling rocks. and died before they could be released
 During tie long period of his coll tinement Hicks never lost heart. He could hear the workmen digging away the debris and approaching nearer and nearer each day. When at last he was rescued and brought 10 the surface of the ground, it was found that he was in far better physical condition than had been expected. When questioned as to the secret of his endurance he said:
 During the first few days I existed on plug of tobacco. That tobacco did as much for me as any other thing. l was able to keep my mouth moist with it, and although l wanted water that tobacco juice performed the same service. l certainly made il last, too. Every piece l chewed chewed until l could get no more juice out of it, and then swallowed it. If it had not been for that tobacco l believe l would not have been able to endure the agony of my long contine- ment.n
 Two days before Hicks was taken out of the mine food was passed down to him through pipe. The first thing he asked for when communica- tion was opened was chew of to- bacco. One of the workmen. who had plug of Star tobacco in his pocket l pushed it forward through the pipe to the imprisoned miner When the latter received it he called out; Take l your time boys, m all right now, and i can wait. He afterwards said that
 the tobacco gave him new life and l strength.

 X couple of weeks ago The Times copied notice from one of the Mem phis papers. announcing the pardon of Gus Benton,t the slayer of Walter Gray. Governor Davis denies the pardoning. and says the mistake came about bv Benton's name being put on tie Christmas list, but when the governor Inquired into the case. he refused to pardon. But the item got into the daily papers that he had pardoned him, and We reproduced it, as matter of news. We are glad to learn that the governor did not make this mis- take.
