A BAD "NIGGER"
UNDER ARREST ON VARIOUS
SWjNClING CHARGES.
J. E. Carter Held as Suspect, and
Believed He Has Stolen
Goods.
A BAD "NIGGER'

The police have in custody at the
station negro, J. E. Carter, whom
they suspect of being a fugitive. He
was shadowed around town Thursday
and finally arrested by Officer Culpep-
per. He was engaged in peddling
iewelry and had no license permitting
him to do so.
Carter is suspected of being the ne
gro who, over year ago, engaged IN
sWindling enterprise, dealing largely
with ignorant negroes He represent
ed himself to be an agent of E. E.
Fluker, who before his death. was
large merchant. He would make ex-
cursions into the rural districts and
represent himself as an agent of
Fluker. He would quote them prices
on goods and demand an advance pay
ment to insure good faith on their
part. Then he would leave and seek
other green fields. BY these misrepre-
sentations he swindled the negroes
out of large sums of money. He was
swindler Of many resources and
adopted other means for carrying out
his sWindling enterprises. On one oC-
casion he claimed to be the owner Of
two bales Of cotton which he observed
on the railroad platform at Warner
He secured bill of ladng for the
same and brought them to Pine Bluff
where he found a purchaser in R. Nj.
Knox & Co.
Since his arrest he has been put in
the sweatboX several times. When
first seen he had in his possession a
grip. He had discarded it when he
was arrested and at first refused to
tell the officers what he had done with
it. Later when pressed with queries
concerning it, he told the officers
where they could find it. 1t was found
to contain lot of jewelry and spec.
tacles. It is believed that all the
contents represent stolen property
and the officers are trying to locate it.
A large amount of jeWelry was
stolen recently from Calling & Co., OF
Bearden and the property may belong
to that concern.

San Francisco, December 20.-The first
section of the cable which is to connect
the United States with Hawaii has been
laid and the cable ship Silvertown is
preceding so rapidly with the work of
laying the cable that greetings from Mr..
Dole of Hawaii to President Roosevelt
may be sent over the cable from Honolulu
on Christmas day. At noon today the
Silvertown, having been out 1870 hours
from San Francisco. 1854 knots of cable
had been reeled out to rest on the bottom
of the ocean. Storm has hindered the
ship somewhat and if a slightly better
speed is maintained during the next five
days, it is reasonable to expect that COM
municatfon with Honolulu will be had on
Christmas day.
The Associated Press representative on
board the Silvertown filed the following
message from the vessel at noon today
Latitude 3017 north. longitude 1879 3S
west. The total amount of cable paid out
up to noon today, which includes the first

close the truth and to "confound the au-
thors of their misfortunes."
Roman D'Aurignac is confined in a sepa-

All Over the United States Use Peru
ma for Catarrh.
A recommend recently received from
Catholic institution in the Southwest
reads as follows:
A Prominent Mother Superior Says:
II can testify from experience to the
efficiency of Peruna as one of the very
best medicines, and it gives me pleasure
to add my praise to that of thousands
who have used it. For years I suffered
with catarrh of the stomach, all rene
dies proving valueless for relief. Last
spring I went to Colorado, hoping to be
benefited by a change of climate and
while there friend advised me try Pc
runa. After using two bottles found
myself very much improved. The remains
of my old disease being now so slight, I
consider myself cured, yet for a while I
intend to continue the use of Peruna l
am now treating another patient with
your medicine. She has been sick with
malaria and troubled with leucorrhaea
1 have no doubt that a cure will be
speedily effected"
These are samples of letters re-
ceiVed by DR.. Hartman from the va
rious orders of Catholic Sisters
throughout the United States.
The names and addresses 10 these let
tiers have been withheld from respect to
the Sisters but will be furnished on re-
quest.
One-half of the diseases which afflict
mankind are due to some catarrhal de-
rangement of the mucous membrane lin
ing some organ or passage of the body.
A remedy that would act Immediately
upon the congested mucous membrane
restoring 1t to its normal state, would
consequently cure all these diseases. Ca
tarrh is catarrh wherever located,
whether 1t be In the head, throat lungs,
stomach, kidneys or pelvic organs. A
remedy that will cure 1t in one location
will cure it in all locations
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman. giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis. 80
