Whipped Boys Ran Away.
Lonoke, March 5.— As the re
sult of getting a whipping at
school Friday, Clyde Furr and
Walter Bell left their homes.
They went as far as Little Rock
in a freight train. The father
of Bell went to Little Rock and
found them. He took them to a
hotel to remain that night, but
when he awoke the next, morn
ing the boys had gone.
He has not been able to locate
them since.
Searcy Wants him Too.
Dr. Willis announced to his
congregation Sunday night that
he had had a call to the Newport
Presbyterian church for all of
his time. We believe that the
people of his congregation here
are entirely too wise to allow
him to seriously consider this
call for a moment.
Searcy can ill afiord to lose so
j
; noble and so lovable a Christian
character, nor can the church,
j which has grown steadily and
j considering the membership has
as good an-average attendance
as any church that we know of.
The Sunday School is growing
and much interest is being man
ifested by both pupils and teaeh
jers. It seems to us that if ever
' in the history of the church the
able, wise instruction of a loving
pastor was needed it is now.
| We believe that his people will
rally around him, and not allow
a neighboring town to get what
; by rights we should have. His
life in our midst has been an ex
ample worthy of emulation by
all young men. —Searcy Citizen.

HOT TIMES IN PINE BIUEE.
War Horse Mayor Takes Midnight Action
on Property of Mulish Franchise
Holders.
There were hot times in Pine
Bluff Saturday night, says the
Graphic of that city.
Working k. the light of a
friendly moon, stealthily, sturdi
ly, systematically and unitedly,
thirty-five men took advantage
of the hours of deepest repose at
midnight, and with silent tread
marched out Fourth avenue to
, the corner of Mulberry street.
There they stopped. Without
word or parley, each man taking
his post of duty with the precis
ion and discipline of a trained
soldier, they proceeded to cut
the cables and wires of the
Citizens Light and Transit com
pany and cut down the company’s
poles along Fourth avenue.
They were composed of a squad
'of policemen, special officers, ex
pert wiremen, and negro labor
ers. They were captained by a
veteran of many a bloody battle,
Gen. H. King White, Pine Bluff’s
war-horse mayor. Jn the com
pany were Chief of Police Stew
art, Assistant Chief John Per
due, a number of patrolmen,
special officers, wiremen, and
negroes with axes.
It was Gen. White’s trump
card in the Fourth avenue mud
dle. It was the first skirmish in
! the battle.
And Gen. White drew first
LI_1
As a result of this destruction
a portion of the city was plunged
into darkness, railway telegraph
wires were in trouble and traffic
on the Iron Mountain in this
vicinity was delayed.
He threatened a similar pro
cedure against the other lighting
company, and his night work
had the effect of bringing each
company to terms. Both have
agreed to remove their poles and
wires so the street improvement
work can be facilitated.
The action of the mayor was
the result of unsatisfactory ne
gotiations with the companies,
which had continued for weeks.
Finding that he could not get the
wires and poles removed volun
tarily. he was compelled to
adopt drastic measures for the
1 relief of the city.
Primary Squibs.
The demand for a primary has
carried everything before it; the
'ticket nominated will do like
wise.
* . *
The good fe-'ing among the
candidates for primary honors
; ought to be maintained to insure
!the success of that ticket and
hence it behooves every man
who thus submits nis name to
make his campaign clean and
thus prevent any ill feeling as
, well as insure the honest verdict
of the people.
*
j A ticket nominated by the
business men of Newport ought
and will be able to secure the
support of many colored voters,
who want to see Newport grow,
who want to see the administra
tion in the hands of successful
business men, who will deal for
the best interest of all in the dis
position of the two big public
utility, water and light, fran
chises, which soon expire.
* *
*
The nominations for aldermen
are the most important of all,
for with these men will lie the
big issues that confront the city
th -'»xt two years. The mayor
has a v. uly in ea?e cf a tie,
but . should be a strong man
