citizen of Moro, at one time a
member of the house of represen-
tatives, has yielded to the earnest
solicitation of his many friends in
all parts of the county and announc-
ed himself a candidate for repre-
sentative from Lee county. Mr..
Humphreys stated he would not at
tempt to make a campaign of the
county. In the first place the time
is short. In the next place the
emoluments of the office are so
small man is not justified in
making a campaign. The people
of the county know him, know his
qualifications, know the kind of
representative ha will make and
Mr.. Humphreys stated he was per-
fectly willing to let them pass upon
his candidacy without any pleas
upon his part. He is one of the
most progressive and wide-awake
citizens of the county, has always
been identified with his fellow ci
tizens in movements calculated tc
advance the interests of the county
and if he is elected to the legisla
ture he will support those measures
calculate to promote the public wei

MayOr's Court is
Scene of Killing

Morrilton, July 21.-While he was
being tried yesterday morning in the
court of Mayor Calvin Sellers at
Morrilton, Clarence Babb, negro,
was shot and instantly killed by
Wood Macarthur, white. Babb had
been charged with disturbing the
peace by cursing Macarthur Mon
day. Macarthur, armed with base
ball bat, chased Babb, but was un-
able to overtake him.
Mayor Sellers had just announced
that he would fine Babb when the
nsgro's wife stepped behind Nc
Arthur and stabbed him in the neck.
BAbb then got out of his chair and
reached into his pocket to get his
knife. Before he had chance to
use it, Macarthur fired twice. One
shot went wild while the other one
struck the negro in the forehead.
The weapon was a 38-calibre revolv-
er An open knife fell from Babb's
pocket when he fell to the floor
Babb's wife Immediately was ar
rested on a charge of assault with
intent to kill. McArthur's wound
is said to be not serious.
Coroner w. F. Morris conducted
an inquest short time after the
killing, the jury returning verdict
to the effect that the Staying was
juStifiable.

Memphis, July reformation of
a shipping corporation capitalized
at S1,000,OO0 to combat the pro-
posed order of the Interstate Com
merce Commission placing Memphis

basis was instituted at mass meet
ing of business men here. A fun

and render a report. 1t is proposed
to operate boats between New Or
leans and Memphis and st. Louis
and Memphis, the Memphis,St. Louis
division to be first placed in opera
ton.
The committee report today said
that failure to use the Mississippi
river has brought this disaster upon
US, and our only hope for relief
lies in resumption of it's use."

Conductor Killed
At Lexd Sunday

In deplorable accident in the
railroad yards in Lexa Sunday Con-
ductor C. G.. Mullens, aged 38 years,
whose run was on a local out of
Lexa, was killed. He and two
brakemen were riding on the run
ming board of the tender, the en-
CINE backing at rapid rate to pick
up a cut of cars. A defective place
in the rails caused the tender to
Jump the track and the conductor
was caught beneath the wreck. The
brakemen were injured, one of them
seriously, but the only life lost
was that of Conductor Mullens. His
remains were buried at LaGrange
on Tuesday morning of this week.
He was a thirty-second degree Ma
son and was one of the most pop
ular railroad men on this division
of the Missouri Pacific. A special
train bearing more than hundred
members of the Masonic Lodge OF
Helena went to Lagrange. They
were joined there by many Masons
from Mariana and other places in
Lee county. He is survived by his
wife, who was formerly Miss Willie
Russell of Lagrange and an infant
son. His mother and other rela
tives also survive him.

Aviator Who Visited
Mariana Killed

Many people in Mariana who had
the pleasure of meeting Capt. A.
G. Newsom, aviator, who was here
year ago with Ross Hubbard,
wealthy oil magnate of Tulsa, Ok,
will be panied to learn of the tragic
death of Capt. Newsom in Tulsa
last Sunday. He had engine trou-
BILE and his plane fell $500 feet,
killing him end a friend who was
with him. M Hubbard, who owned
the plane anu had Capt. Newsom
employed as his aviator, came to
Mariana to visit L. M. Osborne.
The plane remained here for sew
eral days during which time it was
visited by a large number of peo-
pie, many of whom met Capt. New
som. Incidently it is matter OF
local interest to know that Capt.
Newsom was one of the instructors
in the aviation camp near Dallas,
Texas, where Tom McSwine of this
city, received his training.

WAS NOTED sCORCHER

Philadelphia, July 21.-The sur
render of Erwin R. Bergdoll was
not a surprise to federal officers
here. They had been expecting it
for some months.
He disappeared in May, 1918 af-
ter failing to answer a call for war
service. This was year after
Grover C. Bergdoll, his brother, and
also a deserter from the army, fled.
The effort to capture the motor
ious draft evader has been unremit-
ting. The search led to Mexico,
Canada and every section of the
United States. The career of Erwin
has been almost as sensational as
that of Grover. He was the most
noted of the four Burgdoll brothers
as a motor car racer, breaking the
record in the 200-mile Fairmount
park race and rivaling De Palma as
a driver.
Like Grover, he was terror to
motorists and pedestrians on the
suburban roads around Philadelphia.
Communities protested and he paid
many heavy fines for scorching.
Erwin is 80. His wife died last
year while he was a fugitive.

Firenaen Must Go
Back as Recruits

Memphis, Tenn, July 21.-There
was no change today in the Mem
phis Fire Department strike situa-
ton. 1t is said that unions are
postponing action until after a
Thursday night meeting of the
Trades and Labor Council. In the
meantime more companies of new
regulars" are being put into service
and volunteers relieved.
Declaration was made today that
the terms of the act regulating the
Fire Department make it impossible
for the city to take back all the
firemen, who went on strike week
ago, upon the old basis. 1t is ex-
pressly provided that they cannot
be hired, they must start in on the
first year wage scale, which is 500
a month. This is increased SIS a
month each year until firemen get
$120, thus old firemen, if they went
back to work, would receive less
than they were getting when they
walked out because their pay was
not "a living wage"
Seventy-five new men working
temporarily on 24-hour shifts make
up the new force as thus far re-
cruited. They have charge of eight
units of the city department.

A REAL SPORTSMAN

Christy Mathewson has occupied
too large a place in the minds and
emotions of New Workers to per-
nit his announcement of his re-
tirement from professional baseball
to be treated as an incident of mere
ly casual personal interest.
If any follower of the national
sport were asked to name offhand
the man who most thoroughly rep
resented its best traditions and its
best practices the chances are he
would respond with the name of
Mathewson. To scores of thous-
ands the once great pitcher per-
sonifies all the qualities which are
sought in those who play the game
for the games sake, regardless of
the reward they receive for their
services.
Of Mathewson it is true that he
carried the standards of amateur
sport regulating conduct on the dia-
mond into professional baseball. In
deed, many amateurs might study
his behavior with profit. He OBJ
served the rules, he accepted the de-
cisions of the umpires promptly and
without kicking, he refrained from
that kind of riding" his opponents
which is offensive. He never failed
through pique or disappointment or
jealousy to give his best for the
team, though of course he never
had reason to feel jealous of any OF
his contemporaries. He never tried
to ''hog the game"
The qualities of character Mathew
son displayed outside of his pro-
fessional skill were widely recog-
.nized. They built for him repu-
tation and imposed on him duties
not commonly associated with the
professional athletes. He was cali
ed on to address schools, clubs of
boys, amateur sporting organiza-
tions. He acquitted himself of these
obligations with credit. The SIM
plicity and genuineness of his dis
position, his unaffected candor, his
natural devotion to clean living and
his high conception of right conduct
enabled him TO impress the deslra-
bility of manly virtues and fine
ideals on many youngsters who might
otherwise have been misled by an
other conception of life.
A man with a record of his kind
has been a useful citizen and will
have the good wishes of all for his
future prosperity. - Sun and New

AGED CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY
J. T. FRIAR, ONE OF LEE COUN-
TVS PIONEERS, Ex-coNFED-
ERATE SOLDIER. ANSWERS
THE FINAL SUMMONS.

]. T. Firar of Haynes, aged 76,
one of the most substantial and
widely known citizens in Lee coun-
ty, died on Friday night of last
week at the residence of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. T. G. Conner at Cody.
His remains were taken to the Tip
ton cemetery, the family burying
ground near Haynes, where his body
was laid to rest by the side of his
wife who died on August 26, 1919.
Mr.. Friar is survived by two sons
and two daughters-B. c. Friar OF
Hughes, J. T. Friar, Jr., of Cody,
Mrs. T. C. Conner of Cody, and
Mrs. J. T Pipkin of Dallas, Texas.
He was born on February 2, 1874,
in Lee county and had lived here
all his life. He served with valor
in the Confederate army during the
Civil War, and throughout his long
life he bore an honored name and
was esteemed for his industry, his
splendid citizenship, his kindly dis
position and his upright, outstand-
ing character For thirty-five years
he had been a devoted and consist
ent member of the Baptist church
and in his daily life and conduct he
exemplified the teachings of the
Master whom he served with such
rare fidelity. His death marks the
passing of one more of the rapidly
diminishing landmarks of Lee coun-
ty and of the ever thinning ranks
of the old Confederate soldiers
whom the people Of Lee county love
so tenderly. He lived good life
filled with good deeds, reared a
fine family and leaves to them the
heritage of an untarnished name
and an unblemished character.

sought on charges of draft evasion,
today surrendred at Governors Is
land.
With Bergdoll surrendered Judge
James Romig of Philadelphia, a
friend of the Bergdoll family, who
himself is under indictment in con-
nection with Grover BergdolPs es-
cape.
Bergdoll, who surrendered to
Judge Advocate Major William F.

oner in Castle William. Besides
Judge Romig, Bergdoll was accom-
panied by his half brother, Charles
Braun. When the trio neared the
Judge advocates office, Judge Rom
ig said:
"We have Erwin Bergdoll, de-
sirous to surrender" Bergdoll was
taken to prison Immediately.
Both Braun and Judge Romig de-
clined to say where they had met
young Bergdoll, but admitted that
they had come together from Phil
adelphia with him. When Judge
Romig was asked if he expected to
produce Grover Bergdoll, he said
he was trying to do his best to To-
cate him.

Bergdoll's friends are said tt
have intimated to military authori
ties that his defense will be made
on the technical ground that as he
had not registered in the draft he
could not be classed as deserter.

A LICENSE TO FLY

One OF the most interesting re-
suits of the long-continued ban which
was laid upon the civil flying in
Great Britain and elsewhere, during
the war, was the tremendous rapidity
with which the whole organizatio
of civil flying developed, once the
ban was lifted. In hits, it's histo-
motor car, regulations were evolved
of motoring. In the case of the
ry has been very different from that
slowly, from time to time, as the
necessities OF the situation seemed
to demand, as the new invention
crept slowly into public notice and
favor. But in the case of the aero
plena, an entirely new system of
transportation, and that of the most
revolutionary kind, was made avail
able almost over night, and demand
ed recognition and regulation in the
interest of the public. And so,
some time ago, the British Air Min
istry issued a series of regulations
laying down the qualifications nee
essary to obtain aerial navigation
certificates.
1t is both interesting and welcome
to note that the standard of quail
fication is maintained at very high
level. The curriculem includes both
ground and air worw, map reading,
practical flight course direction, and,
in the case of the higher certificates,
advanced meteorology, mathematics,
nautical astronomy, and such electri-
cal work as may be necessary for
wireless. Then in the examination
for these certificates, the standard
set is high. For pass the candi-
date must secure rs per cent on the
whole examination, with not less
than so per cent on each subject.
Four different kinds of certificates
are issued. Every one who desires
to secure a license must obtain the
fourth. This empowers him to un-
dertake flight by day over land.
The third entities him to fly over
land by day or night, whilst with
either of the two higher certificates
in his possession he may fly by day
or night over land or sea.
Perhaps the most characteristic
passage in the Air Ministry's state
ment is that wherein it is declar-
ed that the regulations are neces-
sarily provisional and liable to re-
vision from time to time. The art
of flying has a remarkably way of
continually outstripping itself. -

OUR "BEST PEOPLE

Is it true, after all, that our best
people do not go into politics! we
used to console ourselves when big
men were lacking for our political
parties, with saying that our true
leaders were in business or in the
profitable professions-if there is
any such thing as profitable pro-
fession. But we now have long
list of possible presidents to PICK
to pieces before next November
and everyone is remarking how no
one of them seems man of par
ticularly outstanding qualities. Yet
who are they on the list?One candi-
date got his head above the finan-
cial waters by promoting street rail-
ways and under water transporta-
tion; another achieved success
through his flair for mining, and yet
another is the captain of one OF our
great insurance companies. AS Tor
the professions, there is the sue
cessful administrator of one OF our
most populous universities and there
is an army man among the posslDlh-
ties-what is one to conclude! That
chapter in Mr.. Bryce's book about
us which explained why our better
classes" held aloof from the affairs
of state has in the past comforte.d
many a disappointed soul, but 1t
begins to read as if there were a
fault in the premise. Or perhaps
we shall have to look for a new
meaning for "better classes" it Will
indeed be a novelty if we come to
think of the "best people" as the un-
successful people.-The Villager.
