IMPRUDENT CONDUCT ALLEGED
Methodist Evangelist Leaves
 City on Request.
Rev. J. T. Newsom Responsible for Re grettable Episode While Holding
 Revival Services Here.

Accused of imprudent conduct during his stay in this city, Rev. J. T. Newsom, the evangelist who has been preaching at the revival services at the Methodist church during the past two weeks, depart ed for his home Monday night at the request of the pastor in charge of the church, Rev. J. B. Steven son.
 On account of the fact that the name of highly respected and entirely innocent lady has unfor- tunately been connected with the affair, Rev. J. B. Stevenson re- quests that the details of the re- grettable episode be not published. While he admitted that the con- duct of Rev. Newsom was such as to deserve contempt and that 1t was at Rev. Stevenson's request that the evangelist took his de- parture, he asked that nothing further be published concerning the matter.
 Rev. Newsom bore, so far as Rev. Stevenson had been able to learn, most excellent reputation before coming here. His home is in Kentucky, where his family lives. He has made quite success in the evangelistic field and his services have been in much demand.
 Meeting to Continue.
 Rev. Stevenson, after dismiss ing Rev. Newsom, secured the services of Rev. J. P. Lowry of Little Rock, who has been preach ing at each service since Monday night, and the meeting will be continued at least through the present week. The interest man. ifested is on the increase and there have been a large number of con- versions as a result of the services.

LOCATED AT CADRON GAP
Rock Crusher will Begin Operations There
 in About Ten Days.

In company with a former rep resentative of the factory, Judge J. A. Lea, Governor Elect George w. Donaghey and former Judge w. B. Wilson visited several prospec- tive sites last Friday for the loca- ton of the new rock crusher, which will be used in making macadam roads in this district. After carefully inspecting all the sites, it was decided the hill on the Hiett place at the Cadron Gap afforded the best supply of stone and the most accessible location. Ar engagements, however, have not been definitely completed for the use of the site, but Judge Lea ex- poets that this will be done within few days. The rock crusher will, he thinks, be in operation in about ten days.
 Judge Lea asks this paper to correct an erroneous statement in regard to the purchase of this out fit. The machinery, he states, was not bought by the county or with county funds, but was bought for the use of road district No. I, composed of Cadron and Stone townships, and will be paid for out of funds belonging to this district and collected through the district road tax of three mills. The only place, therefore, at which the out fit can be operated is within the the boundaries of road district No I.

A GREAT EDITOR,

The name of John Delane stands out
prominently in recent neurology, yet he
was neither statesman nor poet, paint
or nor sculptor He was for half a CEN
fury editor Of the London Times, yet
he was not himself writer. Indeed,
his MOTTO" says Harpers Weekly, was
never to do anything himself that 9TH
ers could be had to do for him. But
his personality was Of sort that radl-
ated power. After an average healthy
boyhood he found himself In Printing
House square, and at the age Of little
over twenty-three he became editor o.
the Times BY Jove. | am editor Of the
Times' he exclaimed to some one
shortly thereafter. But very soon he
was the Times He dominated his pa
per by force of ability and personality
rather than by constant presence. Yet
this giant, too, had his sorrows, as the
rest Of us. He writes, some time after
the death Of his mother: Nobody now
cares about me or my success, or my
motives, and that WEAKNESS Of life
had long felt has been gaining on me
ever since I have much to be
thankful for, (but) l have become 50
Indifferent to life weary both OF
work and idleness, careless about socl-
ETY., and with falling interests.

HOPE FOR NIAGARA.
Canada VIII Cooperate In Saving the
Falls from Destruction.

The report of the international water
ways commission to the Canadian par
lament gives good hope that Niagara
Falls will be saved. The Americans,
under the head of Congressman Bur-
ton. have shown themselves inclined
to do their part toward preserving the
natural beauty of the falls from fur
Their marring. The argument Of the
exploiters has been that without Can
adam cooperation, nothing effectual
can be done; that the falls will be ruin
ed, anyway, and that the dollars drain
ed from the cataract will go into Cana
dian, instead Of American pockets. The
report Of the international commission
Is unanimous. both Americans and
Canadian agreeing that the spelling
1t remains for the ottawa lawmakers
to take measure to cooperate with the
American congress.
One of the most dangerous incentives
to Canadian enterprise at the falls has
been the American market for Canadi-
an power. Even though power plants
were prohibited on the American side,
American manufacturers could make
use of current transmitted from the
Canadian powerhouses. A suggestion
which has been before the international
commission has been the prohibition of
the expectation of electric power from
Canada to the United States. The dis
patches do not state the extent of the
atlons on this important point, but i'm
| ply that the finding Is that the amount
Of exported electric current be limited.
This would 60 far to check the activity
of the Canadian power grabbers for
the time being cleveland Plain Dealer.
