TO retain
REV. J. J. HURT
DEACONS MEET TONIGHT
PASTORS RESIGNATION ELIC-
IT'S EDITORIAL IN ARKAN-
SAS DEMOCRAT.

In an effort to retain the services of
Rev John Jeter Hurt, whose resigna-
ton as pastor of the Conway Baptist
church was rendered last Sunday, the
deacons of the church will meet to-
night and take steps to secure, if
possible, a reconsideration of Rev.
Hurts action. Mr.. Hurt stated in
his letter of resignation that the sal
airy which the church was now paving
was inadequate to meet the needs of
himself and his family. Some of the
members expressed doubt as to
whether he would accept additional
compensation and remain with the
church, as his statement was in no
sense demand for increased pay, but
most of them are hopeful that he will
| do so.
The news of Mr.. Hurts resigna-
tion was received with intense regret
Throughout the city and state. He is
regarded not only as one of the most
effective preachers, But also one of
the most valuable citizens. He is in
tensely progressive and energetic and
is always in the forefront of every
movement for the advancement of his
community along every worthy line.
AS an evidence of the esteem in which
ne is held elsewhere, the following ed
itorial is reproduced from the Little
Rock Democrat of yesterday after
noon:
"On Sunday last, at the conclusion
OF his sermon, Rev. John J. Hurt.
pastor of the Conway Baptist church.
presented his resignation to the men,
bers of his congregation.
1T is significant that this minister.
in giving his reasons for quitting his
pulpit, frankly stated that he did not
receive adequate compensation for his
/ services
REV John j. Hurt is beloved of
his congregation and is known as one
of the ablest and most eloquent
preachers of Arkansas. He is said to
be gentleman of the highest mental
attachments, and most worthy min
lister of the gospel
"And yet he has been forced to re-
sign his sacred Office because he is not
Paid enough. In this case enough
undoubtedly means sufficient to give
him a modest living.
ut seems profound pity that such
condition should be possible. There
Is no class of men that deserves ample
compensation more than that which
is made up of our min sters. The
preacher is the servant of the public
III every sense. 1t is the preacher
who is at once our moral and spirit
ual adviser, our comforter an dour
friend. 1t is to him that the rich and
the poor appeal alike for sympathy
and for consolation. He invokes di-
vine blessings upon our tender heads
at baptism and performs the last sad
rites over our mortal remains after
death.
Preachers are notoriously under
paid. 1t is seldom that living gives
the minister more than the bare ne
cessities of life. We believe that if
more of them would adopt the candid
course of Rev. John J. Hurt, things
might be satisfactorily adjusted by
awakening congregations"

ers. But while the lips frequently
lose their straight line in gay, Irish
smile and the cold gray eyes will
beam in twinkling amusement no
hint of his course issues from behind
those lips nor do the eyes lose that
piercing look.
The New York delegates here do
not intrude upon him. Unless he
sends for them they do not go near
his room. They know their chief and
will do what he orders. They do not
bother him with suggestions. When
he gives suggestions it will be in
few terse words, looking straight at
the party addressed, and the orders
will be carried out without question.
Quiet, Too, in Dress.
The leader of the Tiger forces is
quiet in his dress. Usually he wears
a dark suit, which, with the nose
glasses and his caref lily groomed
apparel, gives him distinguished
look. He likes children and often
goes out of his way to please some
little tot.
Seeing him bending to the young
sters and then watching when news
Of a political scrimmage or the in
surging of some follower is being
discussed one would not recognize
him as the same man. The Jaw shuts
tightly, the gray eyes glitter and
only the habit of self-repression of
years seems to hinder a fiery out
burst. When he does speak it is
very short and to the point.

two Williams purchased Christmas

PEN PICTURE OF BIG BOSS MURPHY

Murphy is married and likes his
home, and when the big politicians
come seeking him they do not make
the rounds of clubs, but after isit-
ing his downtown Office in New ork
call on his country residence.
Tall, clean-shaven, one needs but
to glance at his erect figure and
healthy-looking face to see that he
is a man who believes in taking care
of himself. The groundwork for a
hearty constitution he gained when
an apprentice boy in shipyard.
Here, too, he acquired love for the
water, which still remains. He or
ganized racing crews, and although
not generally known Chief Murphy is
an oarsman of no mean ability.
Baseball was another hobby of the
young politician and his baseball
club which, under his leadership,
toured the neighboring states, proved
winner Today his main form of
amusement is golf, in which game
he frequently INDUCES. Of course in
the amusement and recreation class
should be placed politics, for it is
both a business and a pleasure for
the Tammany chief.
Puts Ban ON Gambling.
Other sports he views with ..t2rdal
interest. Charley Murphy would
not walk across the street to see
horse race, though he loves good
horses" said a close friend. Il don't
think he even INDUCES in gambling,
unless you call politics gambling. :"
Men come to Murphy; he never
goes to them. That is one secret of
his power. Somehow or other he
always manages to have something
that the other fellow needs. The
other fellow knows it--so does Muir
ply. If the other fellow manages to
acquire something that the Tammany
chief might need that shrewd mana
GER by some means or other, gets a
substitute with which he can get
along, and sooner or later the pos
SCISSOR of the thing Murphy wants
has come to the wigwam.
Murphy has the 80 New York DEL
egates. What he says goes, and it is
often quoted "As goes New York so
goes the country" All the prospect
i've candidates are anxious for the
support of the Empire State. That
delegation is uninstructed and awaits

of power, he listens to the compli-
ments and interrogatory qufps and

GAMBLER AND GUN MAN.
George Wingfeld, the New United

George Wlngf1eld, the New United

George Wingfeld, the successor to
the late Senator Nixon, of Nevada, in
the United States Senate, will add
much to the picturesqueness of that
body. He is only SO years old. Prac-
tically unknown and penniless ten
years ago, his rise has been meteoric
and at the present time his fortune
is estimaed at anything from $12,-
100000 to three times that amount.
AS a yOungster he became a cowboy
and later landed at Golconda, a min
ing camp in Nevada, where he be-
came acquainted with the late Sena-
tor Nixon, who staked him to $3.50.
With this historic loan he removed
to Tonopah, Nevada, in 1911, where
he soon established reputation as
a nervy and successful gambler and
fearless "gun man" He started
gambling house, known as the TOno-
path Club, with his winnings, and he
made money hand over fist The
club is said to yield him an annual
income of 100000. One night a
broken gambler paid his debts with
100000 shares of mining stock and

DEEPEST HOLE IN GROUND.
West Virginia to Beat Record of Six
Thousand Feet.

Kanawlia county, West Virginia,
famed for coal, oil, gas and a lot of
other things, is going to have the
deepest hole in the ground in the
whole world. 1t is being drilled for
geological purposes The drillers
had reached a depth of $3.50 feet
when work was temporarily suspend
ed on December 20 last year. Work
on the hole has now been resumed,
and it will be only few days until a
depth will have been attained equal
to that of the second deepest hole in
the world, which is 5,420 feet.
The deepest hole ever drilled is
located in South America, and is s.
900 feet from top to bottom. TIE
second deepest is in Pennsylvania,
and when work was suspended on
the Edwards hole in December it
lacked only 100 feet of being as deep
as the one in the adjoining state.
With the best equipment that mon
ey and mechanical skill can provide
il is the intention of the drillers TO
go as deep as it is possible for man
to go with drilling tools of any de-
scription.

While the cotton caterpillar APP
peared all over the cotton belt last

over except in the extreme southern
part of the cotton belt. 1t is advanc-
ing rapidly from that section. Speci-
mems have wintered in Florida or
extreme South Georgia. 1t multi

areas in a single season. Last year
specimens were taken in New York
state, in Massachusetts, and even in
Canada during the fall, and they
came from the outbreak in the cot

This is an insect that can be easily
controlled. The only thing of inn
portance is for the cotton grower to

ready to apply the paris green or ar
