Ex-Governor in Unmarked Grave

The Star Herald is in receipt of
the following letter from the Lipan
Commercial Club of Lipan, Tex, /,
which is self-explanatory:
In an unmarked grave in the Bap-
tist cemetery, one mile from this
town (Lipan, Texas lies the remains
of Ex-Gov. Drew OF Arkansas. At
one time he was the most prominent
man in the grand old state of Ark
ansas, as was proven by his being
called out from among his fellow
men to till the highest Office within
the gift of the people.
But how sad the end. His pub
lie career ended, his declining days
were passing rapidly and he lay
down to die; and as he withdrew in
silence from the living, not a friend
seemed to take note of his depart.
ure. He has fallen heir to SIX
feet of sod and his beloved state
has not marked the spot where this
patriot lies.
We are sure that if the people of
Arkansas had known this fact, a
memorial monument would have
been erected long ago.
There are a thousand people in
this section from Arkansas and
many of them knew Hon. Drew
personally and they think it would
certainly be in harmony with the
patriotic spirit of Arkansas to erect
this monument and they pledge
themselves that they will iealously
care for it and preserve it as any
other memorial of its character

LARGE CROWD
HEARS DONAGHfY
Declares He HAS Put the Little Rock
Ward Politicians out of Business

Governor George w. Donaghey
addressed a large crowd Of Randolph
citizens at the court house Tuesday
afternoon. Quite number of
ladies were present.
The governor was introduced by
Hon. T. w. Campbell, in a few
well chosen words, and launched at
once into his subject. He spoke
for nearly two hours and was given
close attention by his audience.
He engaged in no mud singing or
personalities with reference to his
opponent, simply replying to the
charges brought against his adj
ministratlon by Mr.. Kavanaugh
and defending his record with re-
ference to the service he had render
ed since taking the governors office.
He spoke of his actions with re-
gard to the convict lease system,
the state tax commission, the state
capitol matter, the cutting down of
the various appropriations, etc. In
the main his speech was along the
same lines as that produced in his
former speeches over the state and
in his printed literature. He show
ed conclusively that through his
instrumentality the penitentiary
was now in condition to be made q
paying institution instead of being q
burden to the state as it has always
been.
He stated that the banks, rail,
roads and big corporations were al
against him on account of the crea
y -5f'to nj Or the tax commission which
was forcing the big fellows.-tht
rich ones to assess their property
at something near what it was
worth. Other opposition he saiC
came from gang of politicians al
Little Rock who had been choked
off from the state treasury since he
had been governor.
He showed further where a pos.
sible saving of perhaps many thou
slnds of dollars to the state was
made in having photographs made
of the defective work in the new
state capitol, which we have not
space to describe here.
He spoke Of his appointment Of
Pocahontas star herald., 1910-03-11

H. L. Remmel on the board of capi-
tol commissioners and explained the
matter to the general satisfaction
of everybody.
The governors speech throughout
was we'll received, even those who
had been opposing him giving him
polite, close attention. Several times
during the course of his speech he
was given loud applause and when
he had finished his remarks nearly
everybody remained to congratulate
and give him hearty handshake.

GOES TO JAIL

J. H. Williams, colored, was ar.
raigned in police court this morning
and was convicted on the charge oil
| Illegally selling intoxicating liquors
| in the city. II was a simple case and
the guilt of the defendant was un.
questionable as his own Testimony
which was eyasive, inconsistent and
plainly untruthful, was in itself
enough to convict him. He was SEN
fenced to serve sixty days in the
county jail and to pay the costs OF
the suit.
Arrested in the same raid were
Layina Dale and Abbey Brown, two
colored women, who were also ar
raigned this morning, charged with
prostitution. They We're convicted
upon the evidence of two young men
from Fruita who frankly admitted
having had intercourse with the wo-
men. They were fined $50 and costs
and in lieu of the necessary funds
were committed to the city Jail to
serve out their sentences.
II developed in the evidence this
morning that the houses had been
under surveillance for some time and
that they had been told to get out of
town. In the same neighborhood are
otNtidi are several OlneG houses OF
i'll fame and places where whisky may
be purchased. In the sale of whisky
the circle method is used, a common
and oftentimes effective system of
evading the law. When person ap-
plies at the door of the house and
asks for whisky his money is passed
around a circle and then all go out
of the room and the intoxicants are
smuggled in, the purchaser being
unable TO positively swear who de-
livered the whisky, who left the room
with his money or who brought the
whisky into the room. Had IL not
been for the garrulous testimony of
Williams, 1t is unlikely that convic-
tion would have resulted. The port
ly colored gentleman insisted upon
doing all of the talking and conse-
quently the prosecuting attorney
emeshed and entrapped him and led
him on to completely incriminate
himself. He asked leniency of the
court In the passing of sentence on
the grounds that he has made good
record in his residence in this state
and that he served in the Spanish
American war and consequently his
sentence was comparatively a light
one, considering the nature OF the
case and the poor defense.

MUCH NOTICE OF

The smaller state papers have been
most generous in their mention of
the interurban opening this week.
The Glenwood Post heads the list
with full frout-page writeup and a
reproduction of the greetings cut,
which appeared in The Sentinel sew
eral days ago.
The Western Empire of Montrose
comes next with a big double-Column
display head over the story.
3, An immense amount of valuable
advertising was thus secured gratis
FOR this valley.
The Denver papers came to the
front nobly in giving extended men
,tion of the opening. Profuse accounts
of the event were given large display
and many illustrations by the special
correspondents sent here for the pur-
pose.
The Colorado Springs papers also
contributed largely to exploiting our
big joint celebration with Fruita.
So. taken all in all. II was one of the
biggest advertising stunts pulled on
for this part OF the valley in its his
aory. And it should not be forgotten
that to Lee Haney is due large
amount of the credit for the arrange
ments for the event and the conse-
uuent publicity. -

inator of this type of dancing and

such crowds as have never been

duced Miss Fuller to go step further
and to give not only the Ballot of
