 $1oo AND COSTS
FORCED MASON TO MARRY
His Sister, Miss Ollie Jones, By Detaining Him With a
 Shotgun.

In the circuit court Thursday the case Of the State against James Jones. charged with false imprison- ment for detaining one J. P. Mason of his liberty on March 8th, 1899, was tried by jury and found guilty. The sentence imposed was $100 and costs. Hon. w. B, S5rrells repre- sented the State and Mr. H. R. c. Foster the defendant. The case oe- euped the docket for the day. The result of the finding by the jury was of interest to both sides, inasmuch as there is ,a divorce proceeding =in chancerY wherein J. P Mason, by his attorneys, seeks a divorce from Ollie Mason. whom be was, as al. legged in the complaint, forced te marry on March 8th 1899 by Jones havicg a shot gun at his side durtgg the ceremony and while awaiting the arrival Of tLe Justice of Peace Mrs. Mason seeks alimony in the di. vorce proceedings. Mason denies the charges preferred against hin and seeks absolute divorce.
 The unlawful detention of his lib erty, by the finding of tue jury ID the Jones case, has no bearing or the merits of the divorce proceed ings.

IS VERY PRETTY THE FRISCO PAINTING AT THE FIRST PREsBY-
 TERRAIN CHURCH N. HEERWAGEN, ARTIST. Did the Work-Graduate of
 Art School of
 Berlin.
N. HEERWAGEN, ARTIST.

Our reporter viewed the First Pres byterian Church few days ago up- on the completion of the fresco paint ing of the walls and ceiling. We must congratulate the congregation for having secured such q talented artist as MT. Paul M. Heerwagen, of Little Rock, to execute the work. The members have every reason to feel proud of the work of art, for it is certainly one of the finest and hand soonest decorations i'll the South west and is hard to beat.
 Mr. Heerwagen, who is a gradd- ate of the art school If Berlin, has, i'll the last seven years, decorated some of the finest and most costly churches in New York, Chicago, De- troit, Philadelphia and other places, previous to his residence in Arkan- sas.
 The building aLd architecture of the First Presby terian church are sttietly Romanesque; the designs have been kept in the same style and thereby produced a complete effect, as che designs completes the archi- iect,s plans. The eolors were mixed to match the stained glass windows and carpets, and by such unison the decorations produce grand and imposing effect, and at the same time the softness and harmony of col0rs give mellow ,subdued and re- fined impression which is sufficient proof of the perfectness that was used in the designing and coloring. The neatness of the decorati 0ns is proof of the excellence of the work.
 Mir. Heerwagen sGperintended the work of execution and with n large force completed same in four weeks. The prevailing colors are the olive tints, intermlxed with the soft tones of tans and baffs, all of winch are richly decorated with gold.
 I he Presby terian churchis pal ace within, since the fresco pain ting has been completed.

IN ARKANSAS
Ohio Republicans Seek to Raise a
 Camgaign Fund.

The Ohio Republican State Gen. tral Committee is seeking to raise a campaign fund in this State for use in the state campaign in Ohio, and with that end in view have sent a circuIa" letter to all Federal office holders and postmasters in this State and others.
 But it happens that every post master in Arkansas is not a Re. publican, and recently one of these circulars fell into the hands of a Democratic postmaster in this State by whom it was sent to the Graphlc for publication.
 The circular letter follows, and we call the especial attention of our readers to she manner in which the Ohio Republicans seek to evade the civil service laws:
 Office of Finance Committee, Ohio Republican State Executive Com. mittee, Board of Trade Building, Columbus.
 Dear Sir: A Democratic victory in Ohio this fall would carry with it almost full control of the political machinery of the State, thus ena- bling the opposition to entrench itself for the presidential campaign of 1909.
 A special session of the leeisla- ture, called by a Democratic gov ernor, would redistrict tEe State for congressional purposes under the apportionment of 1900, thereby re- ducing the Republican representa- tion from this State in the lower house of Congress, and, perhaps en- dangering our majority in that body. These facts, it seems to us, willforcibly appeal toaeyery Repnb- lican.
 We hope you will be willing to contribute to the legitimate expen ses of the State Committee, iun it's efforts U maintain Republican su-

 OTHER.
UNCLE AGAINST NEPHEW,
The Fatal Figh; Occurred Over a Ten-Dollar Shed-Both
 Are Dead

News was received here late Thursday afternoon of tragedy that morning at Rockville, a station on the Iron Mountain railroad about forty miles south Of Pine Bluff.
 The participants were Mir. John J. Bowles and his nephew, W. Edgar Bowles, both of whom received in iaries that proved fatal.
 An inquest was held Thursday af- ternoon by Squire T. L. Perteus, at which the facts eIieited were as follows:
 After breakfast J.. .Bowles came upon the scene with hands peepar- ing to tear down and remove the Benedict mil shed, which stands at tbe side of the railroad right#of way, about two hundred yards above the stocehoase at Rockville. Just then ". E.B8wles came=uP to the shed and to where J. J. was standing, with Winchester rife over his shoulder. There were four eye-wit- lesses to the occurrence and all cor r0borate one another that J. J, Bowles addressed bis nephew, say ing ia substance: What do you come with your gun for? The reply was, To stop you from moving this shed. will kill any man who does move it. J. J. then asked him fl he meant what he said and upon being ans wered in trt affirmative he fired shot from B ealiber Smith < Wesson pistol
 After the first shot Bowes, Jr., stepped back to leyel his Winches- ter at his unce's breast. At the same time the elder man pulled down the rife barrel and presuma bly received the ball in the region of the left groin.
 The combatants ther clinched and struggled, J. J. Bowles at intervals firing his pistol. As they got away from under the shed out upon the ground, they fell, the elder man or top Just at this time, the wit nesses say, they separated and w, E. Bowles walked in the direction O the railroad track and fell dead, while ]. J. never rose again from where he fell, but lived for severa minutes before final dissolution, though he never spoke again.

TIE ROUNDLN BALE
sR IBB EsIsrIBtE DEMAND EXIST, FOR COTTON PACKED IN THE
 NRW WAY.
Some Eac-s About the Methods of the American Cotton Company and It's am; aig Profits in the New
 Method ot Ealing,


 Method ot Ealing.
 The South is still conservative, but it is no longer slow. 1t is sharing in the wonderful prosperity of the rest of the country. 1t Is passing through revolution that is giving new life and vigor to every branch of the cotton industry, ex- cepting those members which have been hurtful, instead of helphful to it's prosperity It is simplifying, strengthening and using 8 new econ omy in the packing and handling of the staple. The Roundlap method of baling cotton is growing rapidly nm favor. adding to the prosperity of the planter, whether he raises two bales or two hundered. and giving the gin owner an opportun- ity to double the earning capacity of his plant without increasing his investment.
 The opposition to the Roundlap bale on the part of the compress owners and the middlemen, whose business has been a burdensome tax on the cotton planter. has not pre- vented the steady introduction of the machinery for making the Round lap bale, and the satisfaction of the farmer, the ginner aud the mill owner The attacks on the Amer ic2n Cotton Company, owners of the Roundlap baIIng machine have been bitter and interruptions. They have been accused of attempting to gain q monopoly, of using trust" methods. but gradually the facts are gaining head way that the American Cotton Company is only one Of three concerns engaged in making round l baling presses, and that it can not enjoy any monopoly.
 Then, again, objection is made to the policy adopted by the company of leasing it's machinery to the gin owner instead of selling 1t. The lease is, in effect, a royalty. the amount of the rental being based on the amount of cotton baled in the press, thus making the profit and prosperity of the company depend on that of the ginner. Under the leasing system, it is found, the gin ner runs no risk. ties up none of his Ct pita, and makes as much profit out of the leased attachment to his ginnery as from the ginnery itself, in which his capital is invested.
 The advantages of the Roundlap bale over the old style bale are SD many and so great that it's general introduction will be rapid, and tine greatest sharers in the profits will be those who perceive earliest the ten deney of the times and prepare themselves to supply the new de mand. The greater simplicity of the bale, saving ties and bagging, it's greater security from fire and conse- ouent lower insurance, its saving in shipping and its rapidly growing popularity in the mills at home and abroad, all make up a situation that creates demand for the ROundlap bale which must be supplied.

LAST NIGHTS FIRES.

\ still alarm was sent to the Column
bia Hose and Chemial company at $50
o'clock last evening, owing to the fall
ure of Box So. corner of Main avenue
and jackson street, to work properly.
The cause was the discovery of blaze
in barn in Hennessy court, occupied
by James Giacomo as u stable, ana
owned by Dr. Heath. of Scranton street.
The blaze was caused by the over
turning of "A lamp on a bale Of hay
on the Erou.-. floor. The flames were
eXtinguished without any loss to the
occupant
At 1858 another alarm was sounded
from box 35, this time the box work
ing properly, and the fire was dscov-
cred in the same place. This time 1t
proved more disastrous. The annex
to the building wherein the hor ics
were kept was badly burned and tha
horses suffocated. The barn was also
damage.
