DIDN'T PASS.

The editor of The Bee passed
the examination for clerkship in
the War Department several years
ago, but r. W. Thompson, who
made an attempt to pass an eX-
animation for a clerkship failed.
He will now content himself by
holding down a messengers job in
the Treasury Department. Again
the editor of The Bee takes no
stock in the bogus Negro press
association which neither has a
head nor tail. The Bee
found the sO-called Correspondent
Thompson out of the misnomer
of which he says NJ. NJ. Lewey is
president. This so-calIed Negro
press association is very much
like many of those who belong to
the misnomer. The editor of The
Bee is living off his brains, while
the sO-called Correspondent
Thompson is trying to live off his
muscles, since his brain failed him
In his recent examination for pro-
motion. There is no Negro press
association. There was an apology
for an association organized some
where, and it was said that r. W.
Thompson was elected president,
and before the next year was out.
The Bee made it so hot for him
that he declined to run for re-
election.

commencement exercises. A bevy
of sweet girl graduates and
group of ambitious young male
graduates will receive their di-
plOmas, come down from the
stage. and mix in with the cold,
mfeeling world. From the stage.

friends gazing upon them with
pride, with admiration, and hope

graduates, will appear like a sym
pathetic Understudy, and they will
feel that it is only necessary to-
eXclaim, ''the world is mine" and
this old mundane sphere will ca
pItulate. But when the gradua-
tion flowers have faded. when the
kind words Of congratulations
have subsided, these young people
will pass from warmth and sun
shine, from plaudits and patron

winds, to knocks and rebuffs.
1t is well that they now. before
they faced that commencement
audience, they make up their
minds, and become reconciled to
the fact, that after the diploma
has been handed to them, life be

be a case of the survival of the fit
test. There will be no one to hand
you bouquets of beautiful. aroma

stand aside when you attempt to
pass. You must plant and culti-'
vate your own roses: you must
clear your own pathway, and you
must push aside, yourself, all who
stand in your way. In this way
only can you win success. 1t is
very we'll to eXclaim, ''over the

A few minutes later the vessel struck

could not swim, but they battled
bravely for life. Several were aided

day-Tells Of Conditions in
Lonely Hole.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. Joseph Clary
is alive in the drift of the White Oak
cave-in Sunday morning. His life Is
in danger, however. Slowly the wat
er is rising in the drift and unless the
rescuing party reaches him soon or
the pumping in surrounding mines
keeps the water from rising, he may
drown.
The fourth drill hole which was be-
gun shortly after midnight this morn
ing, penetrated the drift today.

There came the feeble answer "Hel-

betokened his faint condition.
After the lapse of a few minutes,
Clary cried up the tube: Water about
three feet deep in the drift | am on
high place and it may not reach me
if you hurry. The air is getting bad.
/ I feel much better now"
Maurice Grafton, Clary's brother-in-
! law, his brother, James, and his faith
er, Thomas C1ary, exchanged few
] words with the imprisoned man. In

"The air is all right and l am all
right. l have not worried any be-
cause l knew you were looking for
me. The minute the drill began hit

forts were being made to supply
fresh air to the drift. The thump
thump, thump of the drill seemed tc
continue endlessly, and although
could not tell what day it was, I knew
that the hole must have missed the
mark. Sometimes the humping
would be distinct and again 1t would
be faint"
Clary said he had to move through
water to arm-pits to reach the drift
hole. Clary is 80 years old, the sor
of a pioneer mine operator of thi:

DAVIS AND CLARKE
FAVOR FREE LIST
ARKANSAS SENATOR'S JOIN WITH
DEMOCRATS IN PASSING BUT
BAILEY "BOLTS."
PUT IT UP TO Mr.. TAFT
President Will Be Called On to Either
Approve Or to Veto The Re.
ciprocity Measure.

Washington, Aug 1.--Before the
end of the week, President Taft viii
be face to face with the problem OF
approving or vetoing the Tariff bill.
The Farmers Free List, as it passed
the Senate today by a vote Of 43 to
80, so nearly conforms to the bill
passed by the House that it is gener-
ally expected the measure will be
promptly eoneurred in by the lower
chamber and passed on to the presi
dent.
This is the bill which is supposed
to offer compensation to the farmer
for the alleged injuries he will suffer
through Reciprocity. 1t puts on tie
Free List a large group Of articles
which are in every day use by the
agriculturalists. AS amended by the
Senate leather, boots and shoes, ce-
ment and lime will be admitted free
and there will be free meat and free
flour from Canada if the Reciprocity
bill passes.
Though there is view among a
wide circle Of congressman that there
is much more chance of this bill be-
ing approved by the president than
the wool bill, which went to confer
ence today and will be agreed upon
and ready for the president early
next week, the Free List measure re-
duces the duty on articles which the
Tariff Board is investigating and
seems to be under the presidents ban.
= The prevailing opinion is that
neither bill will receive the presi-
dents approval and that within a day
or two after August Z, the special ses-
sion will adjourn.
The old coalition of Democrats and
Republican Insurgents put the Free
List through. But for the refusal OF
Bailey to vote with his party the
House Farmers Free List would have
been passed without amendment.
Among those voting for the meas
ute were Senators James P. Clark
and Jeff Davis, from Arkansas. A
minor amendment offered was one
offered by Davis, fro nj Arkansas, as a
blow at Senator Lodge, which puts
baken beans and goldfish on the Free
List The Senate rejected this amend
ment amid laughter.

DRCSULA JUNE ACCEPTS $4,000
AND RELTSGUISHES ALL CLAIM
TO DIR. MILLER PROPERTY.
WILL DISMISS SUITS
Joe Latting's Case Not To BE Prose.
cuteG-Estate Valued ut
About 100000.

When bill of sale and a quit claim
deed were filed by Drusilla Miller In
the circuit clerks office at the court
house yesterday, surrendering all
claim she had in the estate of DR.. 3.
M. Miller, the wealthy negro druggist
who died in this city on July II, 1910.
and legally recognizing Nancy and
Ethel Miller as his lawful wife and
daughter and only heirs, all the trou-
bles between the trio of women aired
50 frequently in the chancery, prob
ate and police courts of this county
and city, came to an end.
It will result in the dismissal OF
the grand larceny charge that was
filed against Joe Latting, we'll
known local negro, who was arrested
Monday by Constable Dunk Stewart On
a charge Of stealing a box Of dia-
monds from Miller's safe on the morn
ing of his death.
4 Druslla June Miller for $4,000 in
cash decided back all property, real
and personal, to the wife and daugh-
ter and assigned all moneys, insur-
ance and credits to the Millers This
leaves the Miller estate in tact. 1t is
valued at from $50, 900 to 100000. ALI
suits pending in the courts will be
dismissed.
The settlement of the differences
between the Millers was brought
about by Senator II. K. Toney, who
represented Nancy and Ethel Miller
since coming here. The firm of Tay-
lor and Jones represented the June
woman.
The Millers are now the sole and
undisputed owners of eighty acres OF
land, just west of Pine Bluff near
the Sawyer and Austin Lumber Com
pany's plant; the Miller opera house
on State street, the Miller hotel and
drug store building on East Third
avenue and ten houses and lots In
various parts of the city, besides q
large sum of money that is deposited
in local banks.
