DON'T FORGET TO VOTE.

No matter how difficult it may be for him to leave 4lis business or his farm, every voter in the county should stop for few minutes-or a few hours, if necessary and go to the polls to vote on next Saturday, when the annual school elections will be held.
 Although it does not usually attract the same attention. it is much more vital than any political election. The education of the children is the most important business in which our gov ernment is engaged. In order to sep arate our schools as far as possible from politics, the school elections have very properly been set for different day and different time of the year from the political elections.
 Cut out politics absolutely and se- lect good men for directors, whether they be Republicans, Progressives or Democrats. Vote a seven-mill tax. That isn't as much as most of the schools need, but it is all the constitu-

NEED FIVE MEMBERS
 FOR GRAND COUNCIL
CONWAY COUNCIL EXPECTS TO SUPPLY NUMBER WITHIN
 ANOTHER WEEK.

Expecting by the initiation of 12 new members last night to supply the number needed in the state for the or ganization of grand council, mem bers of the Conway council, Royal Ar canum, were disappointed to learn that few suspensions in other lodges made it necessary to secure just five more to round out the required 1000. The members declare, however, that at least that number will be secured for the next meeting.
 Last nights ceremonies were wit messed by Gen Jonathan Kellogg of Little Rock, who instituted the order here. A pleasing feature was the pre- sentation of a gold-headed umbrella to pr. G. D. Dickerson, as a token of ap- preciation of his work in organizing and maintaining the council. The council also adopted the following res olutions regarding Dr. Dickerson and Gen. Kellogg:
 "Whereas, Deputy Supreme Regent Brother Jonathan Kellogg and Past Regent Brother G. D. Dickerson, M. D., the founders of Conway council No. POOP, who with us tonight. can look back to the councils first meeting, October 9, 1906, the date this council was installed by Brother Jonathan Kellogg, and they can see tonight just above the fraternal horizon of this grand and glorious state a new star, whose brilliancy will be the admira- tlon of every member in this state. Like the star of Bethlehem, it brings a moderator that will be a benefactor to mankind, protection to the widows, and an education for the orphans. The wise men out of the east Supreme off, cers) will be soon journeying toward Arkansas to welcome this star as it approaches the cluster that is shining so brilliantly in the Armament of Ar canumism. Therefore, be it
 Resolved, That we extend to Brother Kellogg and Brother Dicker- son our highest appreciation for their services, not only in Conway council of the Royal Afcanum, but for the good work they have rendered us all over the state, and we wish them a pleasant and happy journey through the grand council. Be it further
 Resolved, That copy of this res. olution be spread upon the minutes, 6 copy sent to the supreme regent, 6 copy printed in our local paper, and z copy be given to Brother Kellogg anc Brother Dickinson"

A MEMENTO.

Senator Clapp, at dinner in Wash ington, chuckled over the appearance before his committee of Col. Roosevelt.
 "The colonel,' he said, certainly got back at everybody. He reminded me of the Irishman.
 "A friend of mine, travelling in Ire land. stopped for a drink of milk at white cottage with a thatched roof, and, as he slipped his refreshment, he noted on a center table under a glass dome a brick with faded rose upon the top of it.
 " Why do you cherish in this way?' my friend said to the host, that com- mon brick and that dead rose?
 " Sure, sir, was the reply, there's certain memories attachin' to thim. Do you see the big dent in my head? We'll, it was made by that brick
 " But the rose,' said my friend.
 The rose is off the grave of the man that threw the brick. New York Tribune

wound, according to the doctors testimony.
 The state has sought to show that the fatal shot was the fourth fired, when Albright was behind the soda pop cases in the bottling department and Mir. Hillhouse made a clear and tell ing argument in support of his statement that the bullet, which was of the soft nosed lead type, could not have pierced the bottle case at both ends, without being flattened and thus making a Jagged wound, whereas the bull let which killed Albright made 8 clean wound.
 Another telling point in the address of this attorney was that Albright at the time of the shooting was declared by sever al witnesses to have worn a coat. Why had not this coat, showing the entrance of some of the bull lets been brought into court as proof in this case, he asked and found answered in the act of the states leading witness locking up the place immediately after the shooting without going to see Albright's condition and car rying his coat to the Albright home. His address was very ef- fective in bringing out the strong points of the evidence fa- vorable to defendants plea and when concluded, Judge Jefery adjourned court until morning.
 The morning session of the last day was taken up in the ad- dresses of Judge M. M. Stuckey and MT. Will Smith of Walnut Ridge. The latter is better known as "Raggedy Bill Smith, !" not by reason of any poverty, for he is a large land owner, but rather as Judge Stuckey ex- pressed it, because of his rug ged" character.
 Judge Stuckey opened for the defense in a very eloquent tri- bute to the good citizenship in- tegrity and sound judgment and other jury qualifications of those who were to pass upon the guilt or innocence of the defendant and also paid his compliments to the Walnut Ridge attorneys representing the state, praising their ability as lawyers, but tell ing the jury that they had never proven "busters" of the murder trust in our border county and were employed in this case by those who would seek revenge for the killing of Albright.
 Judge Stuckey maintained that both passion and provoca- tion, which the law holds are ne- cessary clements to manslaugh- ter, were not to be found in this case and boldly demanded a yer dict from the jury that would either send the defendant to the electric chair or free him.
 The speaker asked the jury as reasonable men, to apply the civ cumstances under which the de-

and Front street to get posses
 sion of defendants pistol. Best had come to his rescue this time. Joe Baker saw the trouble be- tween Officer Carouthers and AL
 bright at distance and corrob-
 orated the previous witnesses. Ex-senator John H. Keel was used as character witness to prove the reputation of Albright as a dangerous man. J. R. Lof- tin, Jr., and Dave Carr were also used as witnesses upon this point.
 Arthur Anderson and Ned Ryan were used as witnesses up- on the trouble between Albright and Carouthers the afternoon of the killing, when the officer struck Albright over the head
 with a club. Albright was later ejected from the saloon. Ryan
 contradicted Joe Pierce, who al legged that Carouthers had said to Albright, that he, Carouthers,
 had been awaiting an opportun- |ity to kill Albright and all he
 wanted was a shadow of chance to do it.
 l w. C. McDougal testified to the bad reputation of Albright and told of having been shot by deceased, but this portion of his evidence was not allowed to go to the jury.
 DEPENDANT TAKES STAND.
 The defendant was the final
 witness upon his side and made a good one, in marked contrast to that of Officer Atkinson. He
 narrated a forceful story of his part in the tragedy, declaring that he had shot Albright after
 the latter had run his hand into
 his pocket and was attempting to draw a gun; that the handle of the revolver hung in AL
 bright's pocket. The second shot was fired as deceased was
 backing toward the door and facing the defendant, but still
 endeavoring to draw his weapon. The third and fourth shots were | also fired before deceased had desisted from the attempt to draw a gun, witness believing that Albright was only retreat ing in order to obtain more ad- vantageous position from which to renew the fatal encounter. De- 1 fendant testified that as AL bright reached the door between the store and bottling plant, that
 he caught the casing with one hand and sought to level his weapon over the supporting arm, and that when the deceased had retreated behind the soda pop cases, he rested his gun upon the cases as if to shoot defend ant, but asked defendant not to shoot again and defendant told
 him all right, he would not. At this juncture, Officer Atkinson reached defendant and placed him under arrest, demanding his gun, which he surrendered. WITNESS IN REBUTTAL
 Grover c. Gates, who took the testimony before the inquest jury in short hand, at the re- quest of counsel for defendant, was used by the state in rebut- Ital. Witness read the questions and answers of Atkinson before the inquest jury, as conflicting with his testimony in the trial. l.. J. Cooksey was the last wit ness upon the stand, being call
 ed by the state and testified that
 he was sitting on the walk in front of his restaurant with Ad- lkinson 9 or 30 minutes before the shooting, when defendant lcame out of O'Neaps saloon and tAdkinson went with him down ll1 4..ao4 ro,,r4 xxyac fhQn 9d-

what they would have done. He scored Officer Atkinson as strongly as had counsel for the state, for failure to prevent the killing. He reviewed the threats made by the deceased against the life of Carouthers, told of how defendant knew by per sonal experience and general re- putation how dangerous man Albright was and declared that defendant was fully justified in protecting his own life in the bottling plant upon the night of June 27 by firing upon Albright. I MT. Smith followed Judge Stuckey, whose remark that counsel for defendant were seek ing not to avenge but to "scat- ter wreaths of sunshine" was in turn used to biting effect by the speaker, who made considerable sport andhumor of thephrase be- fore getting down to the meat of his talk. The speaker took oc- casion to refer to the splendid service the prosecuting attorney had rendered the state in Law renee county and of the convic- tions secured there He said that he owed it to MT. Erwin to assist in penalizing murders here land then delved into the evidence brought out in the trial. He is known as a hard hitter, a lawyer of closely analytical mind and while not pretending to any knowledge Of good English and oratory, he connected the evi- dence from the standpoint of the state in a forceful way and made telling address to the jury. Upon the conclusion of his ar gument, court was adjourned un- til 1 80 D. m., when c. L. Grant and s. D. Campbell are to be heard for the defendant and H. IL. Ponder of Walnut Ridge for the state.
 WIFE SOUGHT ALBRIGHT Leslie O'Neal testified that Mrs. Albright came up town the afternoon of the shooting and was at the alley to the rear of Earnheart's saloon trying to persuade her husband to go home. Will Randy was also in- troduced to corroborate this in- cident.
 HEARD ALBRIGHT MUTTER THREATS.
 Edgar Lynch, who was stand ling in front of the Planters House the afternoon of June 27, saw Albright pass and heard him talking to himself, mutter- ing threats to kill the whole po- lice force.
 1 J. F. Phillips, a member of the coroner's inquest jury testified that cartridges were found in AL bright's pocketbook taken from his clothing after he was shot. Fred Smith, superintendent at the oil mill, testified that AL bright was discharged there be- cause he carried a gun while at work and had made threats against the life of Carouthers. IALBRIGHT'S PREVIOUS AT
 TACK.
 Moses Love, a negro, was put on the stand to tell the story of the trouble which occurred in June, 1912 between Albright and Carouthers. The officer had ar rested Albright and was walking with him to jail, when the latter suddenly turned and assaulted Carouthers, getting him down upon the walk in front of Cook sev's restaurant. As Carouth- CTS was thrown down, his gun fell upon the walk and Albright
 was trying to reach the gun
