Please don't mix this practical ques-
ton, that is of so much concern to
the every day young man In business
with that archaic. "A man Is known
by the company he keeps" Just as we
have 'outgrown constitutions. statutes

many of those old, cherished maxims
and epigrams of generation ago nave
lost their application.

The Washington Herald. IL the young

have attracted members of the organi-

To answer the question fully and

This may be one of the most serious

Is especially serious on the face of IL
that Jones doesn't seem to be pulling

Ten petitions. which are being signed by hundreds of men and wo- men. are being circulated here, urg- ing Governor Donaghey to pardon w. Y. Ellis, who recently plead guilty to manslaughter in Little Rock court
 for killing x. P Willis. Similar petitions are also being circulated at Fayetteville, Fort Smith and other cities and towns throughout the state. It is expected that every stu

Women. who SSmpathlZe with Mrs. Ellis, former wife of Will lis. are also displaying great inter- est in the case and are telephoninS to those circulating the petitions to get all opportunity to sign them. Nev- CT before in the history of this city has so much interest been manifest ed in pardon petition. Governor Donaghey will be urged to pardon Ellis by many of our people, who are writing letters to the chief execu- tive in behalf of the prisoner. The petition states that Ellis poor health will not admit of confinement and that he cannot live long. if taken to the penitentiary.

 In conversation with Little Rocl, newspaper man yesterday Dr. Shep- herd said that they had made d thorough examination of Ellis and that he was already affected with tuberculosis. The report of the phy- sicians will contain no intimation as to what long confinement would pro- duce in the case, as that is not a part of the order of the court, but Dr. Shepherd is sure that Ellis would not live long if kept in con tinement.
 It is stated that the report will be delayed as long as possible in order to give those circulating petitions throughout the state for Ellis par don an opportunity to complete their work. This is said to be the plan Of the attorneys for the defense. They figure that if this is done the peti- tions can be presented to Governor lis is sentenced.

Much progress was made Tuesday Ill the Day murder trial, which was called in the Cleveland circuit court at Rison and which will be on for some days. Ten jurors, all farmers, were sent to the jury box and it is expected that the opening statements will be made before the noon hour Wednesday, A special venire of twenty-five was ordered to report on Wednesday morning by Judge Henry w. Wells. of Monticello, before whom John W. Day, former master me chanlc for the Bluff City Lumber Company at Clio. is being tried for the killing of D. H. Duncan. his employer, and who was at that time wee president of the Lumber Con- pany. The killing occurred March 9. 1909. at Clio
 The little court room at Rison was crowded throughout Tuesday and al so at the night session. The case is attracting unusual attention owing to the prominence of the accused man and the man he killed. Attorney T. Havis Nixon. of this city. who with Pitt Holmes of Rison. and Judge F. T. Vaughan. of Little Rock is aiding Prosecuting Attorney Paul Matlock in the prosecution, questioned the prospective jurors for the state. and Col. $. NJ.

Only a few jurors disqualified thenl- selves on the ground that they were opposed to capital punishment. The state exhausted eight challenges and the defense fourteen. The jurors were asked if they were acquainted with either Day or Duncan. if they had formed or expressed an opinion or discussed the case with others. One important question asked by MT. Nixon was whether or not they were directly or indirectly related to the Crawford, Powell, Morrison or Wynne families of Cleveland county. all of whom are related to Mrs. Day. The jurors were also asked if they were blood relatives of Charles < Roebuck, the magistrate who ac- 5 quilted Day after the killing, and
