LET THE COMMITTEE TAKE
HEED.

A community by Its energy ana
enterprise can easily put itself IN the
lead in those qualities which go to-
wards making country desirable
and attractive to immigration and
capital, or it can sit down and sleep
away its opportunities, just as it
may elect. There is an opportunity
lying across the path Of the people OF
our county, which, if taken at its
flood. will lead on to fortune. We
refer to the Southern Exposition at
Louisville, KY, beginning on the LIST
day of August next. The gentle
men composing the committee Of our
county, we know, are live men, and
every one of them interested in
building up every material interest
Of their country; and they have set
to work with commendable zeal. We
expect to lend the columns of the
DEMOCRAT. to urge our people
straight on to bestir themselves on
this important matter. But the sug-
gestion we have to make now is the
imperative demand for systematic
effort, if we hope to compass our
desires, and see any practical re-
suits. Without this, we fear that
the showing we will make on that
occasion will not be calculated to
emulate our county pride or acquit
it with the credit we desire. This
haphazard way of doing business
never did nor never will accomplish
anything great. What is every
body's business is nobody's BUSINESS.
Notwithstanding picnics or what
not. let immediate steps be taken for
thorough organization in every
township in the county; in order
that a thorough canvass may be
made to collect the very cream OF
our counties resources, We should
be satisfied with nothing short OF
having our cream at Louisville, and
this is the way, and about the only
way, to get it there.
Let the central committee appoint
meetings in the various townships
and either 60 in person or send some
one 20 effect what organization is
necessary and talk to the people, and
give full instructions, and stir them
up on this important matter. 9th
erwise the showing that Arkansas
will make, and especially Pope coun
ty, on that occasion, will not be such
as to attract the attention and ADM
ration Of people from abroad, o.
stimulate our own pride should any
of us turn up at Louisville during
the exposition. We call special at
tention TO the address and instruc
tions of the state commissioners anC
of our subcommittee in this issue.

ROASTED TO DEATH.
A HORRIBLE CRIME IN NEW
JERSEY.
BASE AND WICKED INHUMANITY.
A Young Girl Fatally Burned, Denied
Assistance and Lett to Die-Her AssaiI-
ants Under Arrest.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July 9.-The
death of young girl named Clarissa Bounds
IL this place last night was the means of
bringing to light an awful story OF inhu
manity and crime in the Jersey pineries ten
miles west of Atlantic City. coroner's
jury examined to-day the SCARED, burned
and putrescent corpse of what was a short
time since young and beautiful girl. Tie
facts now known show that she was of
humble parentage and wild habits, and that
che left here tome time ago for Doughty's
Coaling, In the pine woods, where a num-
Der Of men burn charcoal.
Whether means were used by a white
man named John Thomas and a young
negro named Joseph Kelsey to entice her to
their vicinity is not known. She had been
acquainted with them here and in service in
tn 'ir neighborhood, but soon Joined them at
their camp In the woods. At the close of a
drunken bebauch of several days, in which
the gill participated, the white man, the
girl and the negro crawled close to a
smouldering coal pit, the blasts from the
oceans being severe, and went to sleep in
the embers.
ENvELoPED IN FLAMES.
At dead of night the girl aroused the
camp with loud shrieks. She was enveloped
in flames. When the fire was extinguished
her body was burned to a crisp from head
TO loot, but strange to say, she had inhaled
no flames. 1t is believed by many that the
men had poured coal oil on the girl and
fired her clothing. Life still existing they
assisted her to hole in the ground near by,
where she was kept without TODD or medi-
cal attendance for u day and two nights
Finally the overseer of the poor for the
township, it is alleged, came and removed
her to arother hole in the ground, where
she was again kept with her roasted frame,
subjected to the damp ground and cold air
without treatment.
NOT ROOF TO SHELTER HER.
Then she was brought to the poorhouse at
Smiths Landing, where she was refused ad-
mittance. She prayed for death, but was
dragged back to the woods and again left
all night in roofess cabin called 'tNigger
Hole" without care of any kind. Already
she was mass of corruption, but she did
not die. Thrown into a wagon of straw,
she was brought to Atlantic City, where she
expired last night, having been taken charge
of by the city authorities.
The awful story of her suffering was given
by the Mayor of this place, who took the
girls dying confession. He said the stencil
from her poor tortured frame was sicken-
ing, yet she would make no complaint
against the men, who are, however, in the
hands of the authorities. A rigid investiga-
ton will be made at once.

The New Line to philadelphia

Robert Garrett, who is acting president of
the Baltimt re 81 Ohio railroad, recently
stated that the new road to be built by his
company to Philadelphia was at the
solicitation of some of the most
prominent business men In that city.
He further averred that William H. Wander
bilt had offered to furnish all the money
needed to build it, as he believed that the
territory would be occupied and that the
line would be paying one. The Baltimore
q Ohio will turn over to it all of the East
bound and West-bound business, which it
now sends to Philadelphia, New York
and New England over the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington & Baltimore rail-
road. 1t will carry freight and passen-
gers as reasonably as the other road and
will secure large local business. He also
said: "We expect to secure percentage
of West bound business out of Philadelphia
as is reasonable, taking as basis the per-
centage of business that the Pennsylvania
Rail road controls out of the city of Balti-
more. We expect, also, to bring large guam
titles of anthracite Goals to Baltimore"
