 Governor Donaghey.

P. D. English, clerk of the Arkansas Supreme Court, has served official mo- tice on Governor Donaghey of the ac- ton of the supreme court in affirming the judgment of the Cross county cir cult court in the case of Henry Hard ing. sentenced to be executed for kill ing ]. T. Patterson at Wynne on Octo- Der To- !909 It is now the duty of the governor to fix the date for the execution of Harding.
 The killing of Patterson grew out of a dispute over an attorney's fee, Pat terson having successfully represented Harding in a case in the Cross county chancery court. Harding was convict ed of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to be hanged at Wynne on December 31, but the execution was stayed to enable him to appeal his case to the supreme court. Three weeks ago that court affirmed the judgment of the lower court. Harding is about 40 years old and was engaged in farm ing in Cross county. He is said to have about $10,000 worth of property against which there is q judgment of $S250 in favor of the Patterson heirs, secured by the latter in a suit for dam ages for the killing of Patterson.

NoRwooD DEs1GNArEs VOTERS
Poll Tax Receipt Required at Primary
 ElectiOn


 Attorney General Norwood has hand ed down an opinion touchiag the quail fications of voters in the state. He says:
 "A person is not qualified elector as required under the general election laws of the state anless he paid a poll tax at the time of collecting taxes next preceding the election at which he pro poses to vote. or unless he has attained the ago of 2l years since the time of assessing taxes next preceding such elee- tion.
 "The act of 1909 is a re-enactment of Kirby's Digest, and section of this act says: 'The time for collecting taxes, as this term is employed in the constitution in connection with the pay ment of poll taxes, is the period be tween the first Monday in January and the Saturday next preceding the first Monday in July, and that any person liable to pay poll tax. and who has paid the same at any time within the dates named shall, if possessed of the other requisite qualifications, be enti- tied to vote at any election held in this state at any time before the fist Mon day in July of the year succeeding hat in which tn payment is made
 "It therefore follows that before person can vote in tae primary to be held on March 80 he must have paid his poll tax between the first Monday in January and the Saturday preceding the first Monday in July in the year 1909, or have become of age since the time for the assessment of taxes in 1909. In other words. he must have poll tax receipt for his poll tax of 1908 and paid by him between the dates men toned in the year 1909, and such a re ccipt entities him to vote at any cleo, tion held before the first Monday in July 1909.
 "A tax receipt obtained during the present time fer collecting taxes will entit!e a man to vote at any election held between July, 1910, and July, 1911, but does not qualify a man to vote in the coming primary.

ABOUT TY COBB

"Ty" Cobb was born in Georgia
and early decided to be semi-pro-
fessional ball player. The difference
between a professional and semi
professional is that the former has
a stated salary and always gets it,
while the latter takes what he
can get when he can get it. Young
Cobb walked six miles in the hot
sun to play his first money" game.
When the receipts had been count
ed, Cobbs share was $1.25. He
walked six miles to his home, and
on the way decided there was a
future in professional baseball.
The Charleston team secured him.
He was a wild erratic, youngster,
who would bat like demon, but
never knew when to stop running
bases. 1t is just as important to
know when to stop running as it is
to know when to begin. He gained
the reputation of crazy base run
ner, and Charleston sold him to
Augusta for $3.50, and was glad to
get the money. Augusta tried him
out and found the same fault. He
could hit. but he was wild and disci-
pine irlled him. EIe was a fire
brand on the team, and he would
fight on the field or off. Ty won
and lost several battles with the
Augusta players, and then the man.
agement sold him to Detroit for
S7OO-the greatest bargain in the
history of the game.
