TIE PRESIDENT AND FREE ART.
President Roosevelts recommends
ton that d national gallery of art be
established In Washington Is heartily
approved by all true amateurs.
The workingmen of Europe are made
familiar with the masterpieces of art
from their childhood, and this art in
fluence creates n refined taste and an
artistic touch in the most humble arti-
san which have n great pecuniary
value. Many European industries owe
their success to this artistic sense, so
cultivated by their govern
ments.
y party Of Richmond girls recently
visiting Paris were surprised to find
that the head waiter at their hotel was
familiar with all the mas
terpieces of art in the city. One of
them finally asked him how he had
Obtained his knowledge. and he re-
piled that he and his wife spent all |
their holidays in tile art galleries.
President Roosevelt realizes the ne
,essity of surrounding our own people |
best art of all ages in order
hat this artistic sense may be cult
fated in this country, and he says I
hat 80 far from there being Il tariff
IN works of art, their Importation
should be encouraged in every way
The President has now put the guess
ion squarely up to Congress. Some OF
he members will doubtless say that
here is greater reason for removing
he tariff from the necessities Of life,
md they are probably right; but that
$ no reason that the tariff on works
II art should not be removed 1t is
he most vulgar tax in the schedule.
md is reflection OIL the nations
ehnement.

Sunday School Convection Closed.

The Center Township Sunday School convention which was in session at the First M. F.. church last week closed Wednes- day night after very interesting meeting. The afternoon program included several interesting dis cussions, among which was a talk on "The Sunday School Teacher" by the Rev. Charles Draper. The Rev. J. A. Hender- son also presented au excellent talk on Adults in Sunday School and How to Get Them" w. E. Anderson made good talk and brought out some very strong points and excellent thoughts on the subject of "Greater Interest in Sunday School Work"
 Wednesday night session was equally If not more interesting than the morning or afternoon session. The Rev. Fred w. Long of Little Rock discussed the good work of conventions and in this subject he took up the matter foi 19 years past.

arrangements for these concess. sions. He explained that there were number of questions no, as yet definitely settled, but ,ha, 'ne board was not looking for obstacles, but desired to push the work as rapidly as possible, and that the architects had been ordered to get out working plans so that contracts could be let at the earliest possible moment.
 The chairman of the board, W. Coughliu, was empowered and instructed to bind associa- ton to carry out its part of the contract with Mena.
 It was decided that a blanket contract be made for the construc- tion of the building, and that the contract should contaiu a clause binding the successful bidder to use material and labor from Mena so far as possible in the work.
 MT. Clayton stated that when the question of the S5,0OO bonus was raised at the meeting, MT. Tobin and himself guaranteed the amount on behalf of Mena.
 Following MT. Claytou's state ment,. F. N. Hancock was asked to act as secretary and requested to read the list of those who had subscribed to the bonos fund one year ago, and the request was made that those present should state when they would be ready to pay lu the money-all present responded as ready at once, and a number increased their original subscriptions amid much ethusi- aSm.
 The original subscription was short of the full amount, and this fact, together with the fact that in the past year some who had subscribed had left Mena, made 1t necessary to ask for additional subscriptions, and there were a number offered.
 A committee to solicit sub scriptions was selected as follows: w. E. Snyder, Ed McCutchan, Dr. J. R. Davis, w. E. Watkins and John McKenna.
 Arrangements were made to notify all subscribers to call at any one of the banks in Mena and pay the amount of subscrip- tiou within ten days and receive receipt for same.

Verdict a. a just One-Jury Asked
to Sign Petition for Pardon.

Birmingham, Ala, May AFTER
having been out since 6 O'Clock last
evening the jury in the cas- Of Alex
ander Chisolm, former paying teller,
charged with having e9nbezzled $780,
900 from the First National Bank Of
Birmingham, which il is alleged he
lost in cotton speculation, brought in
a verdict Of guilty shortly after l
O'Clock today and fixed the sentence
at six Years in the fedel al ~penitentiary
in Atlanta.
When asked + he had anything TO
say why sentence should o be pro-
nounced, Chisolm arose and said that
he regarded the verdict as a just one,
that he was not crazy md never had
been insane, but he regretted the af-
fair very much. Sentence was hen
pronounced.
Judge Hundley said that in view of
the youth Of the prisoner he did not
feel justified in giving him the maxi
mum sentence-ten years--but in view
of the enOrmity Of the crime and the
vigor of the defense he would not be
justified in giving him the minimum
penalty-fve years.
He therefore made the sentence six
years. AS the prisoner arose and made
his brief statement, closing with q plea
for mercy his aged father began TO
sob while his sisters covered their
faces with their hankerchiefs. His
mother with remarkable fortitude con-
trOlled her feelings.
Before the jury left TIC box Hayward
ChisOlm, a younger brother Of the
prisoner, asked the twelve men to
sign a petition for the pardon of the
man they had just pronounced guilty.
1t is understood that a number Of the
jurors signed the petition. 1t is stat
ed that Colonel Robert Chisalm, faith
er Of the prisoner, this morning priv
ately requested Judge Hunlley to have
the sentence imposed to become effec-
tive today. The request, the court is
said to have granted. and young CHS
ohm will be taken to Atlanta tomor-
row.
