ONLY FOUR SURVIV.
 ING EX-GOVT RNORS
Number Living Who Served Temporarily from One Day to One Year-Col. C. C. Hamby this City, Among Number.
BY CLIO HARPER.

Little Rock, Aug. 10.-The death of Ozra Hadley in Los Angeles, Calf 7, a few days ago, at the advanced age of 90 years, leaves only surviving ex- governors of Arkansas. They are:
 Dan w. Jones, 1S96-19O0 Little Rock J. P. Clarke, 1894-1S96.
 John S. Little, 1906, Greenwood. George W. Donaghy, 190S-1912.
 Joe T. Robinson, 1914, Lonoke.
 Aside from these are number of surviving acting governors, who have served from one day to one year. Among these who have at various times temporarily occupied the gov ernor's chair in the absence or dis qualification of the regular, and who are now living are: c. c. Hamby, Clay Sloan, J. c. Pinnix, J. c. South, M. P. Huddleston, o. N. Killough, John P Lee, John I. Moore X. O. Pin dall, Allen H. Hamiter, James T. Rob- ertson and w. c. Rodgers. Among the acting governors who have died in recent years are: D. E. Barker, J. c. Tappan, R. l.. Lawerence, and J. M. Martin.
 Ozra Hadley was remembered only by the older residents of the state, as he had not been a resident of Little Rock since 1881 at which time term as postmaster of this city expired His occupancy of the Governors chair dated back to 1871, when he succeed ed Powell Clayton, who had just been elected to the United States Senate. Therefore his connection with Ark ansas politics dated back to a time be- fore majority of those who now do the voting were born.
 The fact that there are so few sur viving ex-governors, just as that there are very few surviving ex-Presidents, is due to the fact that as a rule is mature, or even verging onto the certain ground past middle age when he is elected Governor or President. Then, too the duties, responsibilities and worries of a high executive office are so great that few men can stand the stain. But there are very few who would be willing to undertake it.

THE HIGH ROAD

The high road, oh, the high road, With all the world a-fare, My lady's carriage glitters
 And all the lackey's stare. She passes by with changeless eye, Why should she look or care? The high road, oh, the high road It is sight to see, The lords of this brief present, Each in his own degree Proud of the din he journeys in, Roll on by grange and lea. The high road, oh, the high road It is your way and mine, l watch the hard-set faces; You wonder where they dine, The engines beat beneath their feet Their eyes are warmed with wine The high road, oh, the high road May l have strength to go With steps of tranquil pleasure, Unhurried, lettering, slow, Until before the last inn door The sunset bugles blow.

The Colonials defeated the Main
street clerks by score of to in
the Twilight League game Friday eve
ming. The weather was a little too
cold for first class baseball and the
game dragged SO that it was very dark
the last inning played. but for all that
the game was close and exciting and
was anybody's up to the last man out.
Both teams had a number of errors
and wild hrows and there were several
hits that were so by the meerest lick,
but they all helped to make the game
full of interest and when a slip meant
run or two the boys were usually
there and fielded in good shape. Both
teams had men on bases in every in
ming, the Colonials scoring in every
one of the four innings that they ap-
peared at bat and the Main street
clerks in all but the last one and that
had one man on in ha inning, who
was out stealing. The result of this
game puts the Wholesalers at the head
of the league for a time. The score:

RESTORE TITLE -
OF CAPTAIN WHO
WANTED TO FIGHT

London. Aug. 6, P. M.-How a cap
tain OF the British army in India left
his regiment there and under an as
sumed name joined the British expe-
dictionary force in France as a private,
and as private died bravely in bat
tie, is the strange incident related in
an official statement given out today
by the British press bureau.
The captain was H. S. Smart, of the
SOD Sikhs. On June 4, his removal
from the service was chronicled in the
official gazette it being for his unex-
planned absence from India. The state
ment issued today says:
Since, it has been ascertained that
his action was due to his strong de-
sire to join the force in France, he
came to this country and enlisted as
Thomas Hardy, in the Royal West
Surrey regiment and serving as a pri-
vate. he was killed in action Nav II
at Feslubert, where he displayed such
gallantry that he would have been
granted the medal for DISTINGUISHED
conduct had he survived"
Because of these circumstances
Smart, though dead, has been restor.
ed to his captaincy.
