Newport, Aug 3.-CIaude Davis, a young white man of Richwoods township was arrested Saturday mornig by G. w. Gochenour at the latter's home near Pinnington on the charge of attempted assault on Ruth Ann Smothers, an or phan. The offense is alleged to have been committed Friday night about 11:30 o'clock while the young man was accompanying the girl home from dance that had been given at the home of Willard Gosney. The girl lives with her grandmother and uncle, Charley Edwards, one and one-half mile southwest of Pennington. She successfully resisted the effort of Davis.

EDITOR SHOT DOWN

Helena, Aug. 4.-J. NJ. Scott, city editor of Helena World, was assassinated at 2 o'clock this morn ing in the heart of the city as he was going home from work. Five shots were fired at him, two pene- trating the brain, causing wounds from which he died some hours later without gaining conscious ness. No one has been found who witnessed the affair, which is shrouded in deep mystery. ScotU's body was found by two officers half an hour after he had been shot down. They heard the shots, and, making an investiga- tion, discovered the dying man weltering in his gore.
 Scott was 33 years of age and leaves wife and young babe.

A YOUNG RACE RIOT NEAR TOWN
Whites and Negroes at Work For~ Railroad Clash, But No
 Damage Done

A young race riot took place among the hands at work at the railroad gravel pit near Magness Wednesday night.
 Some white men who had been at work there were discharged q few days ago and negroes put m their places. This so incensed the white men that they served notice on the negroes to leave, which the negroes refused to do, and the riot Wednesday night was the result.
 Several shots were fired, pes sibly 75 or 100, but it seems that the shooting was only done to frighten the negroes, as no ono was hurt.
 An engine was sent to bring down the sheriff to quell the roit. and Deputy Sheriff Patterson came down. No arrests were made Wednesday night, but it was un- derstood yesterday morning that MT. Patterson had the names of eight of the parties who were sus- pected of causing the trouble, and it was expected that he would make the arrests and take them to Batesville yesterday evening.

GREAT WAVE OF RENTALS

One of the notable conditions that prevails throughout the State this year is the great interest that is being taken in religious revivals.
 There appears to be religious awakening that is a pressage of better things, for when commun- ity is right spiritually it may gen. erally be expected to be right otherwise.
 From many communities in the State come reports of these ''pro- tracted meetings" lasting for weeks at time, and arousing the most remarkable degree of in- terest.
 For instance, in revival at Bonneville there have been 25O conversions and at Newark there was recently held one of the most successful revivals ever known in the history of the State.
 In certain quarters there have been doubts expressed of the efficacy of the revival system, but the fruits of the tree should be 8 means of judging its value. and while many of the converts may return to their old ways. the num- Der that remains constant to the faith is sufficiently large to justify whatever time, exertion and mon- ey may be expended in the effort.
 The evangelists have many stock stories of the great things that have come from the conversion of one man or one woman in great meeting where no one else appear ed to be touched with the grace of the Word, and these stories are all bearers of a great lesson.
 The old fashioned revivals so familiar to the so- called backwoods communities have not wholly passed from among us, but may still be found in some sections, and even in the more conventional churches of the cities we some- times find. a touch of that saving grace which stires the soul to the depths.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE COUNTY
Some Statistics From the Report ofs The County Examiner For
 the Past Year.

County Examiner Sidney Pick. ems of Sulphur Rock furnishes The Journal the following statistics Tn regard to the public schools of the county.
 There 92 school districts in the county-entirely too many, he thinks, for the good of the schools, and he favors the township sys- tenn.
 There is a total of s, 76O children Of school age (6 to 21 years) in the county, of whom 8,239 are white and 521 colored.
 A total of 5,353 children were enrolled in the schools of the county during the past year, and the daily attendance was 3, 133, which shows less than half of the children of the county attend school regularly, and only about 50 per cent of them enrolled. This suggests the need of compulsory school law.
 There were 11S teachers employ ed in the county, divided as fol- lows: Forty. one holding first grade certificates, whose average salary was SAP a month; fifty-two holding second grade certificates, average salary S39; twenty. two holding third grade certificates, average salary S35, and three holding state certificates, whose average salary was SIP.
 The average length of term was something over 100 days, which he says, is better than ever before, but should be at least 160.
 There are 107 school houses in the county No new ones were erected during the year.

PLEASANT HILL PICK-UPS

Pleasant Hill, Aug. 6.-One of the best revival meetings in the history of Pleasant Hill has just closed with 37 conversions. Eds. Horn, Fink and Kirkland did the preaching. At the close of the meeting Eld. Horn baptized nine into the M. P. Church and Eld. Fink baptized eleven into the Baptist church.
 There is talk of having Uncle Marion Barnett pinched for dis turbing public worship, but we don't blame him. Most any of us would have shouted if two of our children were converted.
 The dry and hot weather has nearly got the crops. Corn is practically past redemption and cotton is doing no good at all.
 Frank Long's house burned last Friday morning. The cause is unknown.
 Rev. G. l.. Fink made a busi- ness trip to Newark Saturday evening.

THE PASTORS COLUMN
Conducted by Rev. Jas. F. Jernigan In the Interest All That is Good

The work of young Bates vile minister in Texas. "-Guard.
 To set the Guard man right, the following list Is furnished, and none, no not one, is from Bates vile:
 Revs. John H. Dye, Sulphur Rock; G. M. Hill, Greenbrier; A. P. SaAaId, Oil Trough; Jas. F. Jernigan, White River township; J. w. Lindsey, Gainsboro; l.. w. Lindsey, Gainsboro; E. L. Massy, Gainsboro; G. w. Smith, Green brier; P. B. Wallace, Cave Creek; w. w. Gibson, White River; George Wilkinson, Gainsboro; $. w. Register, Gainsboro; J. w. York, White River; G. G. David son, Gainsboro; Jas. H. Griffin, Greenbriar, Arthur Lindsey, White River; Jas. Best, Black River: Jas. G. Parker, Oil Trough; P. H. Wilkerson, Sharp county, but went into the itinerant work while living in Batesville.
 These have all entered the intin- erant ministery and most of them are there yet. But not one of them from Batesville, as our friend of the Guard would have the read ing public understand. Honor to whom honor is due.'
 Here is list of local men, some of whom have been in the itiner- ant work, but are now local, some are dead: w. H. Jernigan, N. E. Brady, John Soggins, Coleman Rainwater, E. D. Parrish, James Northern, Z. T. Griffin, A. H. Wooderd, Il. l.. Porter, w. w. Wayman, J. w. Best. All these from the country, and not one from Batesville.
 Now, this is not rebuke to the people of Batesville, nor intended to be an offense to the genial Guard man, but to set things right and wake up the old town that is S6 years old, and, so far as this writer knows, has never sent out into the Methodist ministery, either itinerant or local, man born and raised in the town. If 1 am not mistaken the town was founded in 1921.
 Now let Greater and Newer Newark take thought-thoughts and acts that will produce prayer that will bring forth fruit unto God, in giving both boys and girls into Gods vineyard. Batesville has sent but one native worker, Miss Esther Case, a noble, conse- crated woman, to work for God. Newark has many elegant, noble girls and boys whom, if God lays his hand upon them, would make burning and shining lights" for His glorious work.
 We rejoice in the great success of Bro. Jim Henry.' The battle is on in this county as never be- fore. He need not have left his old home for large and useful field.
 Our meeting at Sulphur Rock goes and grows. Twenty converts to date, and the whole town and country is stirred as never before and your scribe has known this country for As years. Glory to God.
 Bless the Lord, o, my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name."
