his sons:
s'They should never forget the

ey came from the painstaking

them to remember that such
danger lies not only in the OBJ

Brock Case Reversed.

In the supreme court Monday
the judgment in the case Of the
State Of Arkansas against David
Brock, convicted in the jackson
County circuit court, on the
charge Of murder in the first de-
gree, was reversed and the case
remanded for a new trial, the
opinion being rendered by JUS
tice Wood, says the Little Rock
Gazette.
On the night of November 49,,
1910, Dave Brock shot and kill
ed James Parsons. Brock was
indebted to Parsons in the sum
of Sc and went to Parsons home
and called him out of bed. They
were STOPPING down counting
the money when Brock arose
and shot Parsons. The evidence
Of the defense tended to show
that Parsons had made threats
against Brock, to the effect that
if Brock did not let him have
the hogs he sold him, instead of
paying him the money, he would
kill him. The court held that
the instructions given to the ju-
ry by the lower court, that after.
the killing had been proved by
the state, the burden then shift
ed to the defendant to prove
that he was not guilty of the
crime charged, and that he must
make such proof, too, to the sat
isfactian of the jury, was well
calculated to confuse and mis-
lead the jury and to cause them
to fail to understand the true
meaning Of the instructions.
Grant and Mack and Stuckey
and Stuckey were attorneys for
the condemned man, both in the
trial court and in the appeal to
the supreme court and have
through the action of the higher
court, another opportunity for
their client before a jury of his
peers.

Little Rock, Nov. 28.-Unless
Gov. Donaghey interferes or the
Supreme Court grants a re-hear-
ing and a subsequent reversal of
the case, w. A. Compton, Of Ma
rianna, must serve a term Of one
year in the penitentiary on a
charge Of enbezzlement. Judge
Compton was county judge Of
this, Pulaski county from 1892
to 1896, was one of those inter
ested in building the free bridge
here, and is the son Of the late
F. w. Compton, who was an as
sociate justice Of the supreme
court in 1859.
After leaving Little Rock,
about ten years ago, Judge
Compton went to Mariana
where he engaged in the prac-
tice of law. He was elected to
the school board, and made sec
rotary. It is alleged in the in
dictment that on Oct. A, 1907, he
drew a warrant on the county
treasurer for $3.50, on the school
fund, in payment of legal ser
vices by S. H. Mann. It is fur
ther alleged, and proven in the
courts, that the Board owed Mr..
Mann only $50, which Compton
paid him, appropriating 500 to
his own use. It was shown to
be the custom Of the President
of the Board to sign the war
rants in blank, leaving the secre-
tary to fill in the amounts. This
particular warrant, after it had
been drawn, was endorsed to the
bank for collection, and Comp
ton got the money.

MANY FACE
STORMY WEATHER.
To Hear Evangelist Burke Tell
How We Should Present
Ourselves To God.

ourselves 10 GO0.
A goodly number of people
faced the storm and weather last
night and were well paid for go
ing to the tent. They will never
forget the forceful sermon that
Evangelist Burke delivered. His
|(text was Romans 12:1 Il be-
seech you therefore bretheren,
1by the mercies Of God, that We
present your bodies a living sa-
crifce, holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable
service" Theme, .Presenta-
ton" Presenting ourselves to
God, our strength depends upon
how we present ourselves unto
him. We are thus amounted for
work. But whenever we do, the
devil comes and opposes us, and
offers different ways; if we fol
low them we will fail. We must
1get the devil out of the way if
we are going to win.
( There is but one way to reach
the masses and that is by the
Power of God.
+ Present ourselves in love.
Then there will be as much JOY
ITO preach to the poor as to the
rich. When we have the right
attitude toward God we will
have power.
Il Sometimes church dies be-
cause they look after a certain
class; they look after the dol
lars instead of the salvation OF
all men. "God is no respecter
of persons. He loves all men
and classes.
Present ourselves in faith.
Here the Evangelist told of Big
Bob Simmons, the outlaw
those who heard it will never
forget the faith that he had and
how he became q mighty power
for righteousness. Big Bob had
been a wicked man. He was ask
ed how it was that he could stop
swearing so quick. He said,
"When a man gets his heart full
of the love Of God, cussing will
quit itself"
Present ourselves by works.
Hearts are starving just for love
and many live and say nobody
cares for me. We should strive
to reach all men for we do not
know who is going to have pow
er.
/ We need to get ourselves up
to that position that we are will
ing and ready to go anywhere
and do our best to help people
to God.
AT the invitation many re-
sponded and some accepted the
Christ as their Saviour.
& The tent was in fine condition.
Come tonight at 1880 and be a

Appeal To Teachers.

Appeal To Teachers.
Dear Fellow Teacher: Inter
est in the State Teachers Asso-
citation has been steadily grow
ing. Last year was a record
breaker. AS we are progressive,
the coming session should sur
pass all others in attendance.
The Committee on Program
has not only endeavored to Sc
cure many of our own most
prominent and progressive
teachers to discuss vital ques-
tions, but has arranged with sew
eral men of national prominence
to speak on subjects Of current
interest. While previous pro-
grams have beenhighly satisfac-
tory, the one for this session
promises to be the richest feast
of intellectual good things ever
offered at our annual meeting.
Efficiency" is to be our key
note.' Every speaker will seek
to emphasize the value of eff
cheney and suggest means and
methods for promoting it.
Already the following great
men have accepted places on the
program:
DR.. Warren H. Wilson, Super
intendent Presbyterian Depart
partment of Church and County
Life.
Prof. P. G.. Holden, Superin-
tendent Agricultural Depart
ment of the Iowa State Univer-
sity.
DIR. Reuben Post Halleck,
Principal Boys High School,
Louisville, Kentucky.
DR.. John w. Abercrombie,
former State Superintendent of
Public instruction Of Alabama.
Every teacher who desires to
keep abreast with educational
progress needs the stimulus of
this inspiring meeting. You as
a leader in your community will
want to attend. You will rem
der valuable service to your
fellow teachers and to school
officers, if you will urge their at
tendance and help to make it
possible for them to attend.
Reduced railroad rates will be
secured and concessions will be
made by hotels and boarding
houses. Little Rock itself, rapid
" becoming one of our great cit
les, offers many attractions well
worth the seeing.
1t has been deemed advisable
to appoint each County Surerin-
tendent or Examiner, each SUI
perintendent Of Schools, and
each College President as Lead
er for the Attendance Campaign
in his respective circle. By this
means, there will be some four
hundred active Attendance Cam
paign Leaders, cooperating for a
banner attendance at the asso-
citation.
Come and bring your friends.
Fraternally yours,

STEEL COMMITTEE
AT PEACE NOW
Members Call Each Other BY Their

Arms.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The dove
of peace lowered over the Stanley
steel committee this afternoon after
weeks OF dissension. 1t took two
hours of heavy arguing by the nine
members of the committee, behind
darkened doors, to evolve the settle
ment, but they finally strolled forth,
arms about each others shoulders,
with lengthy peace proclamation for
publication. Even Chairman Stanley
and Representative Littleton were dem
onstratively affectionate, calling each
other by their given names.
The real result of the star chamber
session was an agreement to continue
the investigation Monday. The COM
mittee overruledssthe objection to the
investigation while the corporation
was under prosecution in the courts.
On this point the committee resolved !:
1t is our unanimous opinion that
the committee should continue the in
vestigation as If no proceeding on the
government was now pending against
the corporations; but not for the pur.
pose of determining the questions in.
volved in the governments action;
and any inquiry into the subject en-
braced should be made for the pur-
pose of enabling the committee to rec
ommend such further legislation as in
its opinion is best.
After the meeting Stanley said:
This is absolutely satisfactory te
every one in the coIkmittee.''

With such an experience no one
can realize how hard it was to hold
composure. After the election ] had

and the other attorneys. They then
showed me, for the first time, all the
evidence recently developed in the

testing out their own machines will
probably be allowed to use the avia-
ton field.
Since they have been detailed on
this work, the soldiers have become
quite expert in making repairs, and
provements, inventing a cut-out switch
and several other things, beside which
they have strengthened all of the
machines. In case of need they can
very handily put in new guy wires and
other parts, and in a pinch it is prob
tire machine.
An areoplane, seemingly as light
and airy as a butterfly is really
marvel Of strength and rightly. The
wires are all cut to an exact length,
and are fastened by being turned back
and soldered, SO that once in place
where they are to serve as braces;
they must stay. Long-continued ex-
periments were made to determine
just what materials were the most
suitable, combining strength, tough
ness, rigidity and elasticity
Apparently there is little thought
on the part of the army of making
use of the aeroplane for offensive
work. 1t is declared that there was
no serious intention of trying to drop
bombs from flying machine be-
cause it would be necessary to keep
a height which would make accurate
aim almost impossible, and also be-
cause a bomb could not be depended
on to do any serious damage unless
! it could be used to blow up drydock,
or TO destroy some other of the en-
en1y's works of vital nature. What
the army men are trying to do is to
learn the perfect control of their ma
chimes, to study the air currents, and
I to map the country from aloft They
have learned this-that at College
Park, at least conditions for flying
are unfavorable when the wind is in
the northwest, north or northeast, but
that conditions are almost always gooG
when the wind is in the southeast
/ south or southwest, even il there be
half a gale on the ground. What the
reasons are for this seems to be de
cidedly obscure.
Some very good photographs have
been taken from the planes when the,
were aloft 1t is believed that sec
ond man in machine can make pen

for indicating the position of an en-
envy and indicating the nature of tn,
country occupied by hostile forces.
