BOX SUPPER TO AID
BAPTIST CHURCH

The box supper in aid of Baptist
chuich Friday night met with only
fair success The receipts were about
80. 90 gross, and expenses reduced it to
about $S. 90. Ed Barrett and Chas.
Byrd were in charge and tried their
best to make it success. They were
denied the use of the church building
and not even allowed to take the
seats from building to uss in grove.
Considerable friction was developed
ted. 1t seems that purpose of supper
was to buy song books and to pay
Byrd for janitor work done when at
the solicitation of Chas. May he as
sumed the position. Anyway, enough
ST. and the balance turned over to
due him yet of 49, 90.
1t seems that Chas. May was elected
janitor, but in moving from the vicin
ity of church gave up the job, and
asked Byrd to assume it. The church
Byrd thought that 1t went with the
job. He has been informed since that
it didn't, so the matter remains in

the church, and for long time pre-
viously filled Office Of janitor without
charge. When the box supper was ar
ranged. lots of friction developed and
the deacons of the church were i'm
mediately interviewed by w. A.
Chadwick. who gave out that the box
supper would not be held in the
church, protesting against the sacri-
lege, and 1t was reported that prayer
meeting was to be held that night,
anyway, However, there was none,
although two or thee parties went
out to attend.
Three boxes were brought by inter
ested young ladies, and box of candy
supplied by another. Cream was also
sold. Mr.. Byrd was an interested
buyer, and probably spent at least half
of what he got out of it on the affair.
He is one of our most energetic citi
zens, and always ready to assist in To-
cal enterprises.
A cake was voted for to be given to
the prettiest young lady present and

very interesting as we'll as exciting
baseball game held at South Pittsburg

Orme played perfect base ball as usual
and defeated Whitwel to the score of
4 to 3. Whitwell players held them
down in good style, but Orme out

and the crowd seemed interested all
through. Sullivan, of Orme, played
extra fine, playing short stop for
Orme. He played perfectly and help
ed the team out very much by knock
ing th,ee' bagger, Barnes playing
1st base played his usual clean bill,
putting out 10 men at first. He is
thoroughly at home on the first sack.
Chas. Mcintyre played Glass A ball
Chas. has bnt three fingers and should
be termed the ''three- fingered wonder.
Aig Barnes playing cannot be over

catching the sky scrapers. Hall caught
a great game, using his arm when
needed. Whitcher pitched a grand
game and kept Whitwell boys worked
up at all times. Rollins played a
great game at third sack, using head
work at all times. Orme is delighted
at the result, and the Orme boys
thank Whitwell as we'll as So. Pitts.
burg for the kind treatment received.
They wish to extend to Whitwell as
we'll az So. Pittsburg an invitation to
come to Orme. The gate receipts were
very acceptable to Orme, amounting
to $26. 90.

CONTRACT
No. ; AWARDED
WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE
|. P. SHELBY AND p. f. CONNOI,-
LY SUBMIT LOW BID ON
PAVING JOB.

A contract for the paving in Street
Improvement District No 9 was
awarded late yesterday afternoon by
the board of Improvement to P. +.
Connolly of FL Reno, Okla, and |. p,
Shelby of Little Rock, bidding as
partners on the job. The price Of the
successful bidders, 83 cents per
square yard for fve-inch concrete. is
said to be the lowest at which a con
tract of this character was ever le5
in the state About 5000 yards are
to be paved, including West Oak and
Caldwell stHaets and one block of
Center street, from Caldwell to
Prince street.
Five other bids were submitted
that of Halter q McCulloch of Con
way. who were the contractors for
district No. l of this city, being the
next lowest bidder Bids were also
submitted by contractors from Mem.
phls, Charleston, Mo-. Fort Smith and
Argenta
The contract for this work was
awarded AT a previous letting to Mr.
Connolly last fall, but on account Of
various delays it was decided to post
pone doing the work until this spring
and relet the contract The price at
which the work was let the first
time was % cents per square yard, or
nine cents above the price secured
yesterday.
The work of the paving will be be-
gun as soon as the bonds Of the dis
trict can be prepared and approved.
This, 1t is thought, can be completed
within 80 days. The contractors
state that they will finish the work
within three weeks after beginning.
Plans for the organization of dis
trict No. are rapidly maturing and
it is hoped to have the first petition
for this district ready for presenta-
ton to the council on Tuesday night.
AS now planned, this district will in
clude North street, from railroad
right-of-way to Locust avenue; I4o-
2ust avenue from that point to Prince
street; Prince street from Locust
avenue to Davis street; Clifton street,
from Prince street to independence
street; Independence street, from
Clifton to Stell street The proposed
district will thus connect with district
No. at North street, with No. at
Center and Prince streets and with
No. in front of the Hendrix College
ampus.
1t is understood that the second pc
titions for district No 4, organized
by the council several weeks ago, will
be prepared next week. The matter
will be laid before the trustees of
Central College at their meeting next
week and if the assent of the college
is secured it is believed the required
majority for the ditrict will be as
sured, as it is understood large ma
jority of the residence property-own-
ers are favorable to the project

SIX and seven hundred people, at leas.
half of whom We're women, the state
today rested in the case against Sam
Bell.
During the opening speeches of at
torneys, as the state vividlv pictured
the greWsome details of his crime and
the defense brought back the scenes
Of MS innocent boyhood, progressing
ON into his marriage with the woman
he loved and later his marital unhap-
piness, while his sisters bowed their
heads and sobbed, Sam Bell sat un-
moved.
Nor during the entire day, as the
final talesman announced himself not
opposed to capital punishment and was
admitted to the panel, as witness af-
ter witness had described in minute
detail the circumstances of the trag-
edy has Bell displayed the faintest
flicker of interest. His eoolness is
superhuman and indeed seems to be
not only mental, but physical Will
the coatless jurors perspired in the
jury box, the prisoner, though clad in
heavy serge, exhibited no signs of dis
comfort, and on one or two occasions
refused fans proffered him.
Bells sisters were seated near his
lawyers today, as we'll as his former
wife, Mrs. May Fryer. The former
Mrs. Bell assumed her maiden name
when she obtained her divorce. Hugh
Bell, brother of Sam, continued to
assist attorneys for the defense in the
selection of the jury.
During the day Bell spoke to no
one in the courtroom and his attor-
neys say he preserves complete and
absolute silence concerning the trag-
edy.

AIR-IICHT GAME
VISITORS OVfRWHEL MED
BULLDOGS EASILY BEAT TEN
NESSEE NORMAL IN FINAL
CONTEST.

The Hendrix College Bulldogs won
a very one-sided game from the West
Tennessee Normal yesterday after
noon, II to 0. The locals scored four
runs in the first frame on two hits
and a bunch of errors, and in the
third round they sewed up the pas
time by trotting around the paths
eight times. They did not score after
this period, for the reason they did
not try.
Flynn Owen pitched for the Bull
dogs. He established a record as a
college pitcher in Arkansas by allow
ing only % men to face him. This
record probably will stand for long
time. Only three hits were garnercd
off his offerings, two of which were
distinctly of the scratch variety, while
the third was roller to short which
hit a pebble and bounced over Sin
clair's head.
Young, in left field, started fast
double play in the seventh inning
when he scooped up a roller, shot it
to Cook catching Belote at home, who
in turn threw to Mann and caught
Reaves at second.
The Memphians returned home last
night.

without waiting, Long Sin and his

man stood in the doorway and Long
Sin slowly orept over to Kennedy's
chair.
As he reached down to pin the sign
of the serpent ON Kennedy's appar-
emily lifeless body, Craig seemed sud-
denly to come to life. He seized Long
Sin and they struggled flercely, while
Craig, freeing one hand. whipped out
his automatic and fired sideways at
the Chinaman In the doorway.
The Chinaman fell, lay there mo-
ment, then raised himself up and with
fast ebbing strength managed to crawl
out of the doorway and down the hall.
1t was a death grapple between
Craig and the willy Long Sin. At last
they had each other face to face. But
it was unequal. Short and sharp came
the moves.
Craig had in his pocket newly in
vented pair of handouts which
snapped automatically over first one
and then the other of Long Sins bony
wrists. Then he pressed the bracelets
tighter until even Long Sin WINGED.

prisoner, the wounded Chinaman stag

While we hurried downtown the Pc
lice were being detailed for the raid
and the patrol wagon was still wait

We drove up in taxicab just as the
wagon swung around the corner. AL
most as soon as we, the police were
at the side door. Two of them rushed

the door of the room.

WI Fang had already plugged in
the six receivers of the detectaphone
and. though we did not know it, was
eagerly listening with the others down
in the cellar as Kennedy gave his
orders for the raid.

down there at once"
Inez and Long Sin had scarcely had
time to enjoy half dozen luxurious
whiffs before the secret rapping sound

There WI stood paying out the wire
as the ferret scampered after the
scared rat.
WI faithfully paid out the wire, hop
ing for the result he had calculated
carefully.
At last the tugging at the spool OF
wire ceased. Three sharp Jerks told
him he had succeeded. Then WI set
the transmitter in the hole in the
wall close up to the Dashboard, which
he had replaced.
Perhaps half an hour after our re-
turn into the laboratory after Kennedy
had soaked the mat, he decided after
much deliberation to attempt to carry
the war into the enemy's country. We
left the laboratory, he to seek some
clue, l to go down to the Star, where

gazed after her. She had not seen

her to the Mandarin, a chop suey joint.

to the proprietor.

in the other place."
A short time afterward, as they still
talked, Kennedy after pausing outside
