Of Non-Feasance In Office and
Will Thus Be Removed From
Constableship.
Specia lto Independent,
ji Little Rock, Oct. 31.—One of
the most tempestuous official ca
reers of this city was brought to
an end Thursday when a jury in
the Pulaski Circuit Court
brought in a verdict finding
former Constable W. A.
(“Dutch”) Jones guilty of non
feasance, and assessing a fine of
• T’l'kCk nominal fi nc» ic TTWlhi}.
bly due to the fact that the jur
ors considered the removal from
| office and the consequent humil
iation sufficiently severe as a
| penalty. He had been removed
I temporarily immediately upor
his indictment several weeks
ago- There are several othei
indictments pending againsl
him.
I “Dutch” Jones has had i
'somewhat stormy career as con
stable of this township. A yeai
ago he was indicted for the mur
der of Police Sergeant Camp
bell, in a duel in which he was
himself almost fatally woundec
and crippled for life. He was
then out of office for some time
until he was tried and acquittec
of the charge.

W. A. OLDFIELD
NOT A CANDIDATE
For Senate But For Re-election
— Prosecuting Attorney
Erwin May Enter lasts
__
Batesville, Oct. 20.—The set
tlement of the postmaster's job
here today when Congressman
Oldfield gave it out that he
would recommend Sam Deener
as postmaster at Batesville, had
much to do with the settling of
Mr. Oldfield’s being a candidate
tor the United States Senate
and he announced that he would
not enter the senatorial race.
In appointing Deener post
master Mr. Oldfield turned
i down George Trevathan, who
i had been his friend in three
[campaigns and who was an ap
plicant for the position. After
[that he said that he realized
that he had a fight at home, and
fcould not afford to run for the
[senate, with matters as they
[were in his own district. It is
understood that Judge Lank
ford of Devall’s Bluff and Pros
ecuting At.tornev F.rwin will hn
i Mr. Oldfield’s opponents and the
! race for congress will be a very
| warm one.
Discussing his attitude with
i a Gazette lepresentative, in re
gard to declining at this time to
enter the senatorial race, Mr
Oldfield said he would not be a
candidate for the United States
j Senate at this time, but, to the
| contrary, would be a candidate
I for reelection to the house fi
- the second district.

Christian Church Services.
Thursday evening, notwith
standing the counter attractions,
Mr. Taylor spoke to a fairly
good sized audience at the Chris
tian church
Those present listened most at
tentively to a splendid sermon
on “Conversion.” According to
: Mr. Taylor's presentation of
|this sobject, there is no mystery
jnor anything that pertains to the
! miraculous about man’s coming
i into the kingdom of God.
i As man by his own willful dis
i uueuitJiice uruuKm sm iniu
world and caused the creature’s
separation from God, the Crea
tor, so by man’s own conscious
act, by his own free will, does he
come back to God by turning
from his sins and accepting
! Christ as his Savior and obey
ing his commands. God is ever
ready to receive; Jesus the re
deemer and 'King, holds open
court, where whosoever will may
come unto him and receive of
the water of life freely.
Services again this evening,
Saturday evening, also morning
| and evening on Sunday. You are
! most cordially invited to attend
S each service.

Special to Ind' peialent.
Little Rock Oct. til. (iovern
or Hays reports that he has re
ceived about thirty replies from
bankers ;]| over the state, prof
fering their aid in earing for
the state's obligations according
to the plan outlined by him in
consultation with the executive
committee of the Arkansas
Bankers' Association.
The hanks agree to carry state
warrants in amounts ranging
from $2,5(10 to $50,000, and the
governor estimates that those
alreadv reporting amount to n
hout $100,000.
“If they keep on coming as
they have started,” said the
governor, “I believe we will
be able to take care of about
$400,000. This, T think, will be
enough to tide us over until the
1914 revenues begin to come in.
We estimated that it would take
a limit iaao non i
there will he about $125,000
that would be carried by 1 he
holders themselves, and not dis
counted to the banks. 1 am
very much gratified at the suc
cess of the plan.”

An evening of laughter and
song, punctuated by serious
thought from Mr. Taylor’s well
of ink to make you think, inter
spersed throughout by South
land melodies, rendered by su

Of this lecturer and lecture
•Judge .1. R. Taylor of the Para
gould Daily Soliphone says: “No
more graceful or entertaining
lecturer has ever appeared in
Paragould. As an entertainer
Mr. Taylor deserves to rank with
Bob Taylor of Tennessee. I have
often given a dollar for a lec
ture not half so interesting or
profitable. The music alone is
more than worth the money
paid for this.”
