MAY COMMUTE
PULLEN'S SENTENCE

Little Rock, August Should Gov
ernor Donaghey decline to commute
the the sentence of Oscar Pullen, the
young man under sentence of death
for the assassination of Lafayette De
loney in Little Rover county, it will
te because sentiment has entirely been
set aside and a self-confessed murder
er forced to pay the penalty for his
heinous crime Though it has not yet
been filed, a petition for Communication
is on its way to Little Rock, signed by
signed by nearly all the people of Lit
tie River county, and besides this,
some very strong arguments are being
made to Governor Donaghey in favor
of the Communication. 1t is said that
the judge who presided at the trial,
the prosecutor and a number of other
Little River court officials have taken
a hand in the effort to secure life i'm
prisonment for Pullen. Reports from
Little River county state that the peo-
pie there condemn the action of young
Pullen very strongly, but since the ac-
quittal of Mrs Deloney, who was con-
sidered by most people of the county
to be guilty, the people do not believe
the youth should suffer death for
crime she is alleged to have led him
into. Little River county people claim
Pullen was nothing but a green coun-
try youth and Mrs. Deloney, through
the power she eeXerted over him, caus-
ed him to assassinate Deloney as he
lay asleep in his bed.
Pullen claims Mrs. Deloney planned

the crime and held the window open
while he shot her husband Prior to
the crime Pullen was well thought of
in the county. He is now in the pen
itentiary here, awaiting the day set
for his execution, September 2, and
has little hope for Communication. He
admits his guilt and expects to mount
the gallows to atone for his sins. The.
cold-blooded manner in which Deoney
was assassnated will work against
Pullen in the effort to save his life, it
being reasoned that man who would
do such a thing is capable of realizing
the enormity of the crime before COM
mitting it and be prepared to take
the consequences when proven guilty.

4 INCHES OF RAIN
FLOODS CONWAY

To early risers Sunday morning
Conway presented the worst flooded
condition in her history. Four and
fifteen hundredths inches of rain fell
between midnight and six o'clock Sun
day, the heaviest fall evidently being
about 5 o'clock, and for three hours
after that time the streets and side
walks in many places in the city were
rendered impossible by flood.
The residence of 10 Frauenthal on
Deer street was completely surround
ed by water ranging in depth from a
few inches to several feet. The bust
ness building of T. r. Douglass q Sons
on the north side of the public square,
was flooded to depth of about eight
inches, while the water covered the en-
tire square, being two or three feet
deep in some places.
The worst damage was caused by
washing the streets, the water COM
pletely destroying the grades in a
number of places.
Reports from Greenbrier, Vilonia
and other places in the county are to
the effect that only light rains fell,
which benefited the crops and caused
no damage.

OFFICER FIRES ON
BOYS AT Y|LON|A

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
Vilonia, August 1.-Catching them,
as he states, in the act of cutting har-
ness and brides from horses hitched
near the campmeeting, Deputy Sheriff
d. G. Warner fired several shots at two
boys Saturday, but it is not believed
either of them was struck by the bull
lets. The identy of the boys is not
known.
Since the Holiness meeting was be-
gun here two weeks ago, much trouble
has been caused those in attendance
by some persons cutting up harness,
saddles and brides on the horses used
by those who came from a distance to
the rleeting. Mr.. Warner was en-
ployed to watch the grounds, and Sat
urday night saw two boys engaged in
this kind of vandalism. He called them
to halt, but the boys, after throwing
rocks in the direction of the officers,
fled. Mr.. Warner fired several times
but the boys disappeared.

POE IS NOW
SURE TO HANG
WHITE GIRLS ASSAILANT
G. O V + r n r DONAGHEY De
CLINES TO INTERFERE WITH
VERDICT OF JURY.

Little Rock, August 1.-Just as sure
as September rolls around, Harry Poe,
the negro convicted in Hot Springs for
criminally assaulting 11-year-old
girl will be hanged in the yard of the
Garland county courthouse in Hot
Springs. Governor Donaghey has fin
ally declined to interfere in any way
with the decree of the court being car
ried out, so Poe must go to the gal
lows. r. E. L. Maxey, attorney for
Poe, who has made such fight for his
client, came to Little Rock Saturday
and made final plea to Governor Don
aghey for communication to life impris-
)nment, but Governor Donaghey en-
phatically declined to grant the re
quest. Maxey intimated Governor
Donaghey had peen influenced by
prominent citizens of Hot Springs to
deny the petition and made vigorous
plea for his client, but Governor Don
RIey Sdlu lie Idu ldlheu Will hoiie VI
the persons mentioned, getting his
opinion from other sources, and by
which he reached the conclusion the
negro is guilty. Maxey came to Lit
tie Rock for the purpose of making
an effort to have the little girl the vic
tim of Poe, brought before the COVER
nor in order that an attempt to force
her to deny the identification of Poe
might be made. Governor Donaghey
did not give the attorney chance to
90 into that phase of the case, as the
child positively identified the negro
when he was tried at Hot Springs.
Prominent citizens of Hot Springs
who were in Little Rock today, stated
if Governor Donaghey should com
mute the sentence of the negro, the
women of Hot Springs would come to
Little Rock and make an attempt to
assassinate him in the penitentiary.
Should the negro be pardoned, these
people said, not only Poe, but his en-
tire family would be in danger of ex-
termination at the hands of a Hot
Springs mob, they stated In order to
satisfy the outraged population at Hot
Springs, an effort will be made to have
the execution public This will be the
first legal execution ever performed
in Hot Springs.

GREAT MEETING
BAPTIST PLANNED
DR.. TRUETT TO BE HERE
OPENING OF NEW BAPTIST
CHURCH TO BE FITTING
LY CELEBRATED.

Rev. J. J. Hurt has returned after
an absence of week looking after
several matters connected with the
completion and opening of the new
Baptist church. He says it is proba-
bic the building will be ready for oc-
cupany by the first or middle of No
vember. The contractors will increase
the number of workmen on the struc-
ture, and the work will go forward
steadily from this time on.
Mr. Hurt spent twoo days in Dallas,
Tex, in an effort to secure the services
Of Rev. George w. Truett for the
opening sermon, and finally received
the promise of DR.. Truett to come
Dr.. Truett is much in demand all over
the north as we'll as the south, and it
is said that he does not accept more
than one invitation in fifty for special
meetings His own church was en-
larged last year at an expense of
100000 in order to accommodate the
large number who throng Sunday af-
ter Sunday to hear him. Mr.. Hurt
says he was in this church last Sunday
and that there were 10 additions to
the membership at the regular preach
ing services.
DR.. Truett has indicated that he
might be able to spend the week fol-
lowing the opening sermon in Conway,
holding evangelistic services. In case
this is done, it is the wish of Rev. J. S.
Rogers of Little Rock, secretary of
the State Mission Board, that the
board hold its annual meeting in Con-
way, and that all of the 16 evangelists
under it's employ have the privilege of
hearing the distinguished Texan. Be-
sides these, there will be from so to
rs of the most prominent Baptists of
the state, members of the board, here
for most of the week.
"There is no man in the south who
has a stronger hold on the Baptists
than Rev. George lruett, says MI.
Hurt, land our church will have to
throw open it's homes, as we'll as its
doors, to those who come from dist
ance, for they will certainly be here"
ut was pleasant" said Mr.. Hurt,
"to hear so many complimentary
words about Hon. C. B. Randell, rep
resentative in congress from the
Fourht district, whose family is so
well known in Conway. Mr.. Randell
was reelected by nearly two votes to
one over his opponent on the day be-
fore | reached Dallas. Several men
prominent in the affairs of the state

high order and takes a courageous and
dignfied stand on all moral issues

unHatterinu Truth.

q child story at his own expense. The
five children OF some faithful patients

long stay in the improvised home hos

daily visit with pleased reclamation.
The good doctor felt duly fattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days Of convalescense. for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
We felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty. but
