at is always unfortunate when any
section of the county loses by fire,
or otherwise, one of its historic land
marks-those interesting bits of archi-
lecture which keep alive the beauti-
full annals of our past as we pursue
our befuddled ways in this hurly-
burly of modern living. The news
note recently announcing the destruc-
tion by fire of the old Esselman home
at that jewel among Arkansas towns,
Pocahontas, was particularly regret
able.
Randolph county is among the old
er counties of Arkansas. 1t was or
ganized years before the birth of Ar
kansas as sovereign state in 1895.
Even before the organization of this
county this section OF Arkansas was
alive with the early activity of the
settlers Of this great state. 1t Is not
many miles from Pocahontas ~
now deserted site of historic old ID .Vld-
sonville, a town around which much
of the early history Of the territory of
Arkansas clusterc' Davidsonville was
the county town of Lawrence county,
older in years than any other county
of the state except one. At Davidson-
vile the first postofice in Arkansas
was established. Here the land office
was located. The second newspaper
published in the territory. the Ark IN
sas Herald, was issued at Davidsonville
only short time after the appearance
of the Gazette at Arkansas Post, then
the capital Of the territory. My good
friend, John Wells of Black Rock, has
in his possession the old lock which
once adorned, to the consteration OF
the luckless, the old jail at Davidson
vile.
"This old house that was burned al
Pocahontas, while not dating as fai
back as the heyday Of the existence OF
the town Of Davidsonville was an old
landmark. For 30 years it had stood
tenantless, all its furniture and Other
appurtenances intact. The children OF
| the owner, bearing the memory OF
their departed loved ones with great
est veneration, kept the old house as
it was during the lifetime of it'
owner"

Below we print two articles clipped
from the column in the Commercial
Appeal edited by George M. Moreland
of Hot Springs. This Arkansas writer
has knocked about" In the state for
many years and knows the people and
towns as perhaps no other man knows
them. He is evidently well acquainted
with this section for-witness the two
articles below:
According to a story in the Poca-
hontas Star-Herald, that city is destin-
ed to have in the near future build
ing which will be unique and an added
attraction to the city which will own
IL. The building will be constructed
at the suggestion Of @. G.. Johnston of
Pocahontas, who proposes to do most
of the work himself If the neighbors
will furnish the material. The build
ing he proposes to construct as a per-
manent exhibit at his city will be an
old-time log house, constructed after
the fashion of the pioneers. No nails
win be used in the construction. The
logs will be "pegged" like the old
houses of the pioneers. Nails will not
even be used In attaching the boards
of the roof to the laths. This will be
accomplished by the olden method, but
| must refer my readers to Mr.. John
ston for an explanation Of the method
,ecause am not competent to explain
1t.
"It appears from the interest that Is
leing n reused throughout Randolph
county that the citizens will come to
the assistance of Mr.. Johnston and
furnish the material for him to build
this house. 1t is proposed to have 1t
ready for exhibit to the county fair
this fall, after which the building will
be preserved as a permanent exhibit
at Pocahontas."

B0RAH PROTESTS
STATE REFERENDUM
ON The DRY QUESTION

Baltimore. May 30.-(Pl-vigorous
opposition to referendums in the states
on the prohibition question was voiced
today by Senator Borah, Republican,
Idaho.
Speaking before the Presbyterian
general assembly, the senator declared
that notification of the 18th amend
ment was the course now being boldly
urged by those who are proposing ref
erendums In the states so as to leave
the construction and execution of the
prohibition amendment to the states.
1T is perfectly clear" he added,
that that which is demanded can only
be secured in of two ways, either by
repeal of the 18th amendment or it's
complete and shameless violation, its
utter notification.
THAT is the issue. That being the
issue, there is only, one course for a
great and law-abidng people to pur-
sue. and that is to live up to their
constitution, not only according to its
terms as it stands. but according to
the method provided for amending it,"
$50 long as it stands, speaking for
myself, 1 would kick into the waste
basket any referendum ~hich would
compromise either in letter or in spirit
with it's execution.
IF this referendum interrogatory
has any meaning atfall. it is that every
state shall determine for itself its own
construction of the obligation to the
constitution of the United States and
that construction is to bind the federal
government.

YEARLY CEREMONY
TODAY AT 'SCYTHE
Tree WATERLOO, N. Y,

Waterloo, n. Y, May S0.-(P)-The
Women's Relief Corps of Tyler J. Sny-
der Post. G. A. r.. tomorrow VIII hang
a new American flag from the historic
old .Scythe Tree" near here, with APP
propriate Memorial exercises. The
ceremonies will be in keeping with the
custom begun some time ago, and the
exercises will honor the memory of
soldier.
Some 65 years ago James Wyman
Johnson, swinging his scythe in the
fields on his fathers farm heard the
roll of drums from Vail schoolhouse
calling the countryside to arms for
service in the Civil War. He FASTENED
to his home, hung his scythe in the
crotch of a Balm of Gilead tree and
kissed his parents goodbye, with the
injunction to leave the scythe there
until l return"
johnson never returned AS MEM
her of Company G, S5th New York
Volunteers, he was wounded and taken
prisoner near Plymouth. n. c., in
April 1864. and died in a Confederate
prison on May %, 1864.
The parents refused to believe the
news of their sons death. but as the
years rolled by and he did not re-
turn they became convinced. The
mother draped the scythe in black and
died broken-hearted. Later the father
passed away, and with his death the
Relief Corps adopted the custom of
hanging new flag from the tree each
Memorial Day.
As the tree grew to maturity the
scythe blade became firmly imbedded
in the trunk and today only few
inches are visible.
The Johnson farm some time ago
passed into the hands of the Schaecer
family and when during the World
War Raymond and Lynn Schaeffer left
their home to join the American
forces both hung scythes in the crotch
of the tree. Both returned, but the
scythe blades have been left where
the soldiers placed them.
