BARRIERS STRIKE THREATENED

Little Rock, Dec. 30.-There is q threat of barbers' strike in Little Rock on the first of January, to ush- CT in the New Year And it is all due to the action of the union i'll adopting new schedule of charges, adding cents for q neck-shave. Some mathematical genius among the ton sorial artists figures out that on a rush Saturday a barber loses three hours shaving necks that don't need it and they are kicking. But the boss harbels as rule do not agree with the journeymen. Only three out of twenty bosses have agreed to the new schedule, and unless the others "coms across" Gillettes will be in big de- mand in a few days. There are sev- enty-two journeymen barbers employ ed in the twenty union shops of the city, and they believed they are in a position to force their demands.

MALONE COMMENDS DONAGHEY,

Little Rock, Zee. 30.-Judge Walter Malone, jurist, poet and humanitarian of Memphis, is one of the hundreds OF correspondents of all classes from all sections of the country that commend the action of Gov. Donaghey in par donipg 360 convicts. And Judge Ma lone would go even further than did Coy. Donaghey. He writes:
 "I cannot refrain from writing you my sincere thanks and consratula- tions on the splendid stand you have taken with regard to the pardon of convicts. We are forever and eter- nally generating the Russians, when the conditions in prisons all over the South are worse than those of Si- Eeria. We are forever and eternaliy denouncing the Turks, when the atro- cities right here under our own names are worse than those in Turkey.
 The pardoning power in many cases has been turned into a poli- tical lever and it has been made in many instances source ot unholy gain to vulture-like pardon attorneys But in your case the pardon Is grant ed to the convict in the name of hum- anity and justice and the mercy oi Jesus Christ. The people require 3 brave, outspoke man like you to back them up. They are lethargic, and must be reused to the enormity of the evil about us. Yes, they must, they must bearoused. If it is necessary tc open their eyes that every man in the prisons be released, then i'll God s name, open all tue doors.
 "The worst feature of the matter as you show, is that the cruel system falls hardest on the negro, tho pool white man, the friendlcss boy, and those sent up for petty offenscs. The rich malefactor goes free; the mur- derer hires smooth attorney, and escapes through quirks that are q diserace to our law. Bat the pool negro who steals a pair of shoes or g l watermelon, the man held on trivia i charge of vagrancy the lad who gets on plain drunk, these are made the
 recipients of cruelties that cry out to God. Go on; don't fear, you are ill
 the right course; stay. in it.'
