GOLCONDA ON A BOOM
A Bed Of Fine Lithograph Stone Ha }
Been Discovered There.
Two Rurpl Delivery Routes to Soon
be Established in Pope
County.
THE PEOPLE ARE JUBILANT

Golconds, ILL.,, Jan. 13-It seems
that the limit Of mineral deposits in
Pope county will never be fully known,
for now there is a splendid indication
that big bed Of hthogrsph stone has
been discovered on the farm of j. N.
Sutherland near town. AS deposits of
this stone have been found over in
Kentucky Just across the river and in
the same mineral district it is more
than likely that Mr.. Sutherland has
the genuine article on his place. II SO
the establishment of large lithograph-
ing and printing plant at Golconds in
the near future may not be an improb-
ability.
Golconda is to have at least two ru-
raj delivery routes. This was deter
mined this week by a visit of the ru-
raj free delivery rural route inspector
for this district, Mr.. O. V. Pond, who
established two routes cut of Golcon-
ds The two routes are so laid of
that they will take in greater part
of the territory north and west Of
Golconda and will do away with the
present stage routes. They will pro-
bably be started within a few months
and possibly sooner, some thinking
they will begin as soon as the railroad
is given the contract of carrying the
mail over from Reevesville.

SHOT THE TENANT
THOMAS HAYDEN FORCED TO
SHOOT WILLIAM STALLINGS
AT RoCKCAsTLE.

Mr.. 2. T. Hayden. formerly Of
Trigg county but now of Graves, was
in the city last evening and stated to
friends that his son, Thomas Hayden,
perhaps fatally shot William stsllings
at Rookcsstle. up on the Cumberland
river. 1t seems young Hayden had
gone there to effect settlement with
stsllings, the latter being a tenant, and
expected trouble. They had quar-
rel of some description and young
Hayden, according to reports, was
forced to shoot stallings, ..one shot tax
ing effect in the stomach and inflict-

THOSE CHARGES
Consul McNaIIy Has Offended the
Department by Them.
A Full Investigation May Follow al
the Instance of the Government.

Washington, Jan. 13-The charges
against W. Godfrey Hunter. United
States minister to Guatemala, which
were made yesterday in a newspaper
interview by James @. McNally, for
mer consul general at Guatemala
City, on his arrival in New Orleans,
are likely to get Mr.. McNally into
trouble with the state department.
He is still in the consular service,
having been transferred to Liege,
Belgium.
The department is anxious to drop
the unsavory Hunter -McNslly scam
dal, and Mr.. McNally upon his ar
rival in Washington Will find that
his revival of the trouble has met
with the disapproval of his superior
officers. The most ser ious charge
against the consul general is that he
had been concerned in q conspiracy
to kill W. G. Hunter, Jr., the son of
the minister. Authoritative informa-
tion is had that the department. puts
no faith in this charge and desires to
ignore it il this can be done consis-
tently.
Pressure is being brought to bear
on the president and Secretary Hay
to take mp the charges and counter
charges in which DIR. Hunter and
Mr.. McNally figure. Senator Deboe
has indorsed the allegation that the
consul general was concerned IN an
assassination conspiracy, and he is in
sisting that Mr.. McNslly be brought
to justice, either here or in Guate-
mala.

ELEVEN WHITECAPPERS
 HELD BY SHERIFF.
Alleged Slayers Of Detective Brown Uuder Arrest At Wynne-Coroner Continues Investigation Of
 Crime.

Wynne, Ark, March Consider able excitement prevails on the streets of Wynne over the exposure of the gang of whitecaps, an organized band of desperadoes know as the "Smith's Chapel Club" Eleven men are under close guard charged with being mem- bers of the gang and implicated in the assassination of Detective John H. Brown in the battle last Monday night which occurred within four miles of this city.
 Twelve men impaneled as a coro ner's jury have been in secret session for two days and are likely to continue in their deliberations the remainder of the week before a verdict is an nounced.
 REIGN OF TERROR.
 For two weeks the neighborhoOd southwest of Wynne has been in the throes of reign of terror provoked by the midnight depredations of & band of lawless men who have been firing volleys of buckshot into the homes of both white and black and soaring the denizens out of their senses. According to the best inform ation obtainable, the recent rioting is an outburst from religious difference that began last fall in a Baptist and Methodist settlement by a prOtracted meeting inaugurated by the Christian church, or Campbellites. The neigh borhood four miles southwest of Wynne is largely composed of Meth odists and Baptists. A Campbellite minister intruded in their midst and began a revival. As a result Christ ian church was promulgated and 8 house of worship built by the denomi- nation. Among it's membership was R. R. Fallis, wealthy planter. A few weeks later it was burned to the ground. There was never sufficient evidence gathered to convict any one and apparently the matter dropped.
 WHITE RENTERS OUsTED. 
 When the time arrived for the re- newal of contracts between the land owners and the renters for the crop oi 1903 the negroes were the successful bidders, and the white renters be- came without jobs. Soon after, the organized band sprung into active ex- istence and rioting began in earnest On trees and upon houses warnings were posted la the ancient ku klxu plan, and negroes were warned to rid the county of their presence or take the consequences. A mounted band rode through the neighborhood al night and fired volleys of buckshot into the homes and huts.

 There is a rumor going the rounds in railroad circles that the passenger division is to be removed from this city to Hoxie as soon as the mud dries up and the tracks can be put in good shape This rumor, like that of the freight division removal, is hard to believe, yet there is some danger in it being true.-Poplar Bluff Journal.
 The continued rains make it very difficult to get the Hoxie railroad yards in good shape. Although some 2,O00 car loads of gravel have been used, still the yards are very soft for the large engines to get over. There are dozen tracks in the yards, but five of them have been spiked down and are not to be used until conditions change. Walnut Ridge Blade. A. E.
