FROM THE CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Oct. 2S.-Among the important bills to be introduced in the next session of the legisla- ture, will be one from Pulaski county member, which will ask for an appropriation to provide work house at the penitentiary for white women. At the present time no white women are kept in the penl- tentiary longer than to secure par dons for them, as there is no suita- ble place to work them. By this the white women of the state who violates the laws and are sentenced to the penitentiary, escape without any punishment at all, which has no tendency to check their crimes. It is the plan of the legislature to ask for an appropriation sufficient to erect building at the new pen itentiary, and this to be used as a tailor shop in which the women can be worked making garments for the other convicts.
 It is now contended by attorneys here, that T. J. Craighead and J. E. Cowles, the two members of the Garland county board of election commissioners who rendered their resignation to Gov. X. O. Pindall Saturday morning and it was ac cepted by him are still commission CTS of that county. It is also claim ed their action ln certifying the the election of C. D. Greaves. Republscan, as state senator is legal, and will stand. It is alleged the attorney general takes this view of the situation. The con- missioners resigned to the governor to defeat the efforts of Judge Stump ter to mandamus them to certify to the election of Graves over Judge O. H. Sumpter, Democrat, claim ing their certificate was invalid. The attorne eys here claimed the resignation should have been filed with the state board of election commissioners, which has not yet received it.

Every soul is a battlefield, between the
good and evil said Mr.. Russell. 'in
which is fought out the great fight be-

Whenever the human soul becomes

oil good, the spirit of all evil will combat
it in the shock Of battle One or the

side with which the will power Of the in
dividual takes sides"
Tragedies which continually occur in
the minds Of man were described by the
evangelist as similar to the life Of David
and Saul as told in the Bible.
HerOd and John the Baptist.
In Holy Writ" said the evangelist.
there is no sadder tragedy than the
story OF Herod and John the Baptist.
Herod longed TO enter the Kingdom OF
Heaven. yet he persisted within sight Of
God. John the Baptist desired to be
united with God. lived a life Of exemplih-
cation. and died in peace with his Maker.
These two men had souls capable OF
loving God. but how differently they dem
OnGtrated this power"
Hero Mr. Russell related in detail the
story Of HerOd and John. calling par
ticular attention 10 the fact that King
Herod. when hidden by John to give up

This is the great test that confronts
every man Herod was undecided
whether he should give I'D God or

the present day. he tried to compromise.
No man yet has successfully compounded
with his conscience
The details leading up TO the behead
ing Of John at the behest OF Herodias
were recited by the lecturer The crime
thereby committed was termed "the
greatest Of all sins"
"Herod died hated man. Like him.
men Of to-day willingly continue to lead
bad lives and in that great test OF mems
lives, when they must either choose be-
tween God and passion, play the coward.
and in the end die miserable wrecks.

and make your peace with God"
