PORK NUMBER TWO.

In our recent issues we have made mention of the increased or rather superior intelligence of animals who were given to ape humankind. In this issue we present to our readers case of unadulterated hog gall. MT. Brant Angus has given us the calf story. Our Morton cores pondent came in with the first hog story. They were both good ones but we have no hesi- tancy in proclaiming hog story number two the climax of them all.
 The hog in question, in our mind, far excells the others in sublimated audacity and un- doubtedly has reached the apex of immaculate nerve. Rome had her Caesar and her Cicero, but it was left for Arkansas to bring forth a pachydermatous man. nal like the pork of this article.
 Our friend l.. A. P. Beard of DeView, is the owner of a SOW whose pedigree is traced back to the oadinary razor back pork so prevalent in this country. This SOW recently gave birth to a liter of young pigs and at this time they are about one month old, Just how many pigs there are in all we don't know neither do we care. Our article has to do with one of the pigs only, the largest, fattest, and most impu- dent of the family.

In speaking of the negro rape fend of Wynne the Paragould Solophone has this to say:
 "The negro is a young buck 20 years of age and was raised in the neighborhood where the crime was committed. He is a tenant on the farm of James Sherrod, an uncle of Mrs. $. R. Simpson. His first victim, Leah White, a negro girl, was forced to submit at the point of a pistol. He went to the home of Mrs. Allen Taylor, and finding her alone, assaulted her, but she is a brave woman and fought like a demon. Her clothing was torn of and she finally procured an ax with which she defended herself and forced the brute to flee for his life. Mrs. Taylor protected herself fully and the negro fled without accomplishing his hellish purpose, after Mrs. Taylor pro- cured the ax. When the negro was arrested he was placed in a room with a number of other negros and the two women went in to identify the culprit, which they did on sight, both of them identifying him. The excite ment was very great, and had not the negro been smuggled out of the county and off to Little Rock he would unquestionably have been lynched, However, with the prospects of speedy trial and a certain conviction the excitement will die down and the law will take it's course. Judge Taylor could not legally hold a special term to try a spe- cial case until ten days notice, the same to be filed for record ,-ith the clerk, as required by law. For this reason the case was put of till the day designat- ed.

acted at the meeting was the creation of an executive commit tee, composed of one member from each congressional district, one vice president for each county to be chairman of the county board was provided, and the nomination of woman s aux Hilary board was recommended. Nearly one hundred members were present at the meeting. Among the vice-presidents ap- pointed for the respective coun- ties we are glad to learn that our little brother Attorney B. C. Kramer will act in that capacity for Woodruff. There will be a great deal of work connected with preparing an exhibit for Arkansas and we should encour- age those who have the work to do and assist them all we can. Arkansas has more resources than any of her sister states in | the Louisiana Purchase and these resources should be exhibited at the St. Louis exposition. In speaking of the resources of our state the Gazette has the follow ing to say:
 No time in the world $ history has been so .propitious for us as state. No state in our great Union of states is so abundantly supplied in variety of products to exhibit and resources to com mend, and no state in the great purchase from Napoleon Bona part in 1903 can, if properly ex- hibited, compare with Arkansas in character of products, abun- dance of raw material for manu- facture or variety and extent of resources yet undeveloped.
 We have the capacity to grow the products of ten degrees of latitude and if shut out from the world can produce everything needed for the sustenance of man and beast. We have a larger and greater variety of timbers for lumber purposes than any other state of the same area in the Union. We have the greatest variety of minerals and stones adapted to manufacturing pur- poses. We have a most superb climate and an abundance of po- table water. We have more nav igable streams than any other state, when relieved of obstruc- tions, and we have a vast variety of mineral waters an some of the best on earth. Our Zinc deposits and bauxite deposits beat the
 world. We have marble enough to build a whole city like New
 York and would have enough left to build others.
 Our limestone is the purest known in the world. Our gyp- sum is in vast quantity and equal to any other yet developed. We have, besides, our lnarls and ochre beds in vast areas, which invite development, and other minerals needless to mention.
 We have slate and soapstone in
 unknown quantities of the finest character. Our fruits talk for themselves.
 With these, where is the coun- try which can begin to compete with uS?"
