G. R. Stuart's Soft Snap.
The Cleveland, Tenn., correspond
ent of the Chattanooga Times says:
At a temperance lecture delivered at
the courthouse last Sunday afternoon,
Rev. George K. Stuart, assistant of
Rev. Sam P. Jones, took occasion to
correct that he would become a prohi
bition candidate for governor by sy
iaie: "I do not want any office. When
G id called me to preach He gave ine
an oiflce higher than any within the
gift of man. My salary is three tim-s
as much as that of the governor of
Tennessee," and that, he hoped this
would be enough to convince the peo
ple that, he was seeking no oflice. The
governor's salary being f4,0(X) a year,
we au see how extremely foolish it
would be ftir Mr. Stuart to give up a
position that pays $12, (XX) a year, even
it" the result of his candidacy would
result in his certainly being elected.

Brought Back for Trial
Geo. Arkle, a proninent citizen of
Wheeling, West Virginia, was brought
to Whiteville, N. C, several days ago
charged with larceny. The case as will
be remebered, is a very peculiar one
Arkle while traveling in North Caro
lina picked up a pocket book on the
car which had been dropped by a gen
tleman who lives in the eastern part
of the state. When Arkle returned
home he notified the gentleman that
he had found the purse and claimed
$200 of the $2,403 which the pocket
book contained, this the gentleman
refused to do and Arkle refused to
give up the money. Proceedings were
then started charging Arkle with lar
ceny. Gov. Carr then sent requisition
papers to West Virginia and a big
" habeas corpus" was held there a
day or bo ago. The case went against
Arkle and he was sent to Whiteville
for trial. Arkle is a well known and
prominent citizen of Wheeling and his
arrest has created quite a sensation.
A big legal squabble is expected when
his trial comes off.
