WALNUT RIDGE, Ark. July 2l.-
There is great excitement in Law
renee ard Randolph counties over
the continued outrages committed
by band of men known as the Ku
Klux. The band first made its ap-
pearance In Randolph county about
a month ago, and it's operations
were con fiued to a few townships,
but it is spreading until now the two
counties are aroused over their ac-
tions. Hardly q week passes but
some new outrage is committed. A
number of men, and even women,
have been dragged from their homes
at night and whipped IN a most cruel
manner by the Ku Klux, and one
woman has died from the effects OF q
hogging administered to her bare
back. The persons fogged have in
every case been citizens with whom
the Ku Klux found some fault. In
one case an old man and his wife
were dragged from their bed, tied te
tree and whipped until their backs
were raw because they did not sand
their daughter to school. Near
Redwood, in Lawrence county, q
few nights ago, the band raided the
home of Newton Gray, a respectable
farmer, and whipped him, and it ii
believed that he is dead. Thirteen

borhood were arrested, charged with
being members of the organization
but at the examination trial ten o.

Deed Committeed While Suffering From
Effects Of Uraemic Poisoning,
Abbevile Gazette.I
The terribly sad and tragic death
of Mrs. Minnie l.. Cooke, the wife Of
ex Mayor William j. Cooke, yester-
day cast a gloom over the commun-
ity. The circumstances were as fol-
lows:
Mrs. Cooke was soon to become q
mother, probably within a few days,
and it was due to this fact and q
physical condition arising from it
that she had suffered greatly in her
mind for several days. During the
time her devoted husband had been
almost constantly at ber side, COM
forting her and diverting her
thoughts. Yesterday morning they
had together completed the reading
of DR.. Talmage's sermon that they
had begun the night before. Both
had commented approvingly on the
discourse and then Mr.. Cooke had
risen from his chair, looked at his
watch and remarked that he had a
business engagement in town at l
o'clock. 1t was then about 1910
O'Clock, and Mrs. Cooke said that
there was some time before his en-
gagement and advised that he enj ~
a bath before he We mt to town. Mr..
Cooke agreed to this. He had been
gone fcom his wife's room for per-
haps ten minutes when he heard a
pistol shot. It sounded from outside
| the house. There was young dog
on the premises that had been ailiDg
so seriously that there had been talk
of killing it, and Mr.. Cooke explained
the shot on the theory that this had
been done, and continued his ar
rangemeut for the bath. A minute
or two later he discovered there were
no towels at hand and went into the
closet that divided the bath room
from the chamber in search for them
Not finding them he entered thu
chamber aud saw the body Of hi:
wife reposing in a chair. She hae
shot herself in the temple and wa
dead. On the table was q note writ
ten hastily with a,pencil. 1t read a
f slows;

Penitentiary superintendent Smith
returned last week from q visit to
the convict farms. He reports six
thousand acres of corn, which will
yield 125. 900 bushels, and fifty ve
hundred acres in cotton, which will
yield four thousand bales. There
are two thousand acres in field peas.
All the yields are predicted upon the
absence of q great freshet in the
Roanoke river. Smith says repre-
sentatives of the Bassonette process
of making round bales of cotton we're
at the farms but as the cost
of putting in the plant would be
nearly four thousand dollars, the
State decided not to invest and the
agent has gone to ex Senator Ran
SONS farm, where two thousand
bales will be raised.
A hundred convicts have been sent
under charge of Superintendent
Bradshaw, from the Roanoke farms
to grade the Carthage railroad ex-
tension. A hundred convicts from
these farms will be sent to Wayne
county, to dyke the Collier farm or
the Neuse river. Superintendent
Smith says he intends to find work
for au the convicts in August, save
those on the Arson farm, who viii
cut wood. Five thousand cords art
now, cut, and . like quantity will bt
Lcut in the next three months.
