THE ARREST.

The murderer was arrested on Wed. nesday near Ash Fork and taken back to Prescott by Sheriff Mulvenon, ar. irving there on Thur,dly m ,rning. He stated that he WAS 37 years of age, and that he came from Rome, in Ga. where he was raised on farm. On the opening Of the court on the day of the prisoners arrVal, the district attorney requested a venire issued for a territorial grand jury to investigate the case, which Judge Shields granted, {, returnable Saturday morning, so that the accused can be tried at this term of court In the present excited con- dition of feeling, thus is wise, as threats are freely expressed about lynching.
 On Thursday evening man ar rived from Walnut Creek, the scene of the murder, stating that the body of the man Jenkins, who his b-en miss ing for about two weeks, had been found in a guch behind Dllda's house.

wages to workmen is now flourishing;
that the South has already become a
region of enterprise and diversified In

rapid increase OF industrial establish
monts is greater now than ~ any pre-
viOus sime.
These facts arc already working q

fed industry and = largo industrial
population, there must come whole
some political changes, which will
sweep away all that remains of mere
tradition, and teach every man 10 turn
from the past, TO regard tho present
and to work for the future. The growth
OF the towns gives centers TO Southern
social life, and the presence OF large
towns leads TO Z good deal OF farming
and gardening where hitherto agricul-
turo has concerned itself only with the
planting OF great staples.
The substitution of farming for
planting results necessarily in the
subdivision OF iaud tracts and in
u greater density Of population
in rural districts. That, in its turn,
will give opportunity Tor the improve
mCnG Of school systems, while IL is al
ready building up new methods Of az
ricultural labor, which will render
agriculture much more profitable than
IL ever could DO under the plantation
system. Indeed, this latter effect Is
plainly apparent in crop reports,w (which
show very clearly that the value Of
land products is increasing ev0n more
rapidly than tho poru'ation.-LN New
