MATE DROWNED IN WHITE.

Clarendon, Ark, March 12.-The steamer Jack Rabbit arrived from down White river yesterday and re- ported the drowning of her mate, John c. Mann, which occurred Monday afternoon two and one-half miles south of St. Charles, about sixty five miles below Clarendon. The captain, engineer and several of the crew saw Mann as he fell into the water and the lifeboat was immediately lowered. The engineer reached over the gum vale and seized Mann by the hand, but the hold slipped. Despite every effort the mate drowned in sixty feet of water and his body is still unre- covered. The people of St. Charles are now looking for it. Mann was about 35 years old, single, and lived in East St. Louis, Ill.

NEW MEASURE PREFERABLE.

In recent issue of the INDEPEN- DENT appeared synopsis of the pro- posed bill of Dr. J. H. Myers for the protection of the mussel and the re- gulation of the methods to be employ ed in the pearling industry. While several provisions of the measure seem unwise, needless and harmful, in our opinion, should the passage of this bill repeating the original enact ment upon this subject be endangered through wrangling over amendments upon the sections objected to, let this measure rather pass as introduced. In the expression of this view as an edi- torial opinion, we go further and say without fear of contradiction that such a request, voices the sentiment of a vast majority of the people living within the districts, where the industry is piled.
 The measure recently enacted is distinctively class legislation, for the benefit of the well-to do planter and a few home button factories and at the expense of labor. The closed season is made to extend up until the hot

FREIGHT RATES MAY BE RAISED.

It is semi officially announced says the Arkansas Democrat that the rail- road traffic officials in St. Louis have under way complete revision of ex- isting freight tariffs into Arkansas common points from St. Louis and Memphis, which, when effective, will show very noticeable advance in prevailing freight rates. It will be remembered that such an increased tariff has just been issued for Texas, effective March 15. This rise is on the theory of increased cost of labor operating account and the consequent bearish effect on net earnings, which the annual reports of all the railroads show to have been unusually good for the past year. The public pays the freight.

concluded, was too drastic. He did not seek to hurt the farmers. He sought to protect an industry Dr. Myers said it was of vital importance to the people that the former act, as amended should be modified. The people adversely affected by his bill would be those farmers, very few in number, who wished to employ the closed season on other work. He could not frame bill to protect all mussels, as some of them spawned every month in the year, but the most famous of them spawned during the closed season as his bill made it.
 The bill passed-ayes 32, noes 27.
 MT. Eldridge gave notice of a mo- tion to reconsider the vote by which the bill passed.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT
 DEMANDS ITS PASSAGE.

AS law makers representative of the people, the legislature is appealed to at this yet available time to correct an abuse of their power and blunder made without proper knowledge and consideration of the subject at issue, in the enactment of the Myers mussel bill, measure so drastic in it's pro- visions as to mean the death of an in dustry which has proven source of great revenue to the people of the White and Black river valleys. Through this measure, the pearling industry was illegalized for that sea- son of the year, during which it could with greatest profit and best results be piled Not for the protection of the clam, but the planter, that idle labor might be thrown upon the mar ket, though the advocates of the bill fought under false colors, in profess ing to be simply interested in the pro- lection of the ''dear mussel."
 The foremost industry of this section IS agriculture and is deserving of first consideration in the making of our laws. But the two industries are not natural antagonists, for they have dwelt in peace together, the farmer tilling the soil and the pearler dredg ing the bottoms of the rivers Neither has interfered with the other and both have been piled with profit to those engaged. But for the purpose of se- curing cheap labor, the legislature has undertaken to say that the pearler must be restrained from his work, be- cause the competition for the services of the day laborer would become too dear
 The vast majority of the people living within the district affected by this bill, contending that the mussel is sufficiently protected by the natural seasons, winter and spring, the cold weather of the former and the high water of the latter, believe that the legislature was not aware of the senti- ment of the people when the Myers bill became a law and look forward with confidence to the repeal of that baneful law through the enactment of the substitute bill now offered by Dr. Myers. Our legislators are neither unfriendly to labor nor the new in- dustry, but wish to serve the interests of the people affected and the change of front made by the Lawrence county senator is ample proof that he has been brought to understand the de- Sires of his constituents.

Alleged Slayers Of Detective Brown Uuder Arrest At Wynne-Coroner Continues Investigation Of
 Crime.

Wynne, Ark, March 13.-Consder- 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 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 a band of lawless men who have been
 
 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 Baptist and Methodist settlement by 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 result Christ ian church was promulgated and g. 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 of 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 warninps 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 at night and fired volleys of buckshot nto the homes and huts

 Bride Tuesday Morning.

George Thornburg of Little Rock to Mrs. Lucy B. Green of this city. While simplicity rather than elaborateness characterized the dec- orations and execution of the rite, the service was both affecting and pretty.

 The officiating ministers, Rev. J. M. Workman of Benton and Rev. w. P. Gibson of this city stood in the bay window of the front parlor and be- hind them the members of the brides Sunday school class, Misses Maude Richardson, Lula Wolf, Tommie Thornton and Lillie Randy. The bride entered upon the arm of the groom from the rear parlor to the strains of Mendlessohn's wedding march, rend- cred by Mrs. w. A. O'Neal upon the piano accompanied by her sister, Miss Gene Randy upon the violin.
 After the service, congratulations were fairly heaped upon the happy welded pair, who were made to bear the severest tests of good nature in many practical jokes, while waiting for the train at the Iron Mountain de- pot, and their final departure was made amid showers of rice, express i've of the good will and best wishes of host of Newport friends.
 MT. and Mrs Thornburg will go to housekeeping at once at the home of the groom, 1924 Spring Street, Little Rock.
 The bride was charming in a blue etamine over blue taffeta, trimmed with applique and wore hat to match. The groom and officiating minister wore the conventional black.
 The groom is gentleman in the fullest sense of the word and very highly thought of over the state as well as in his home city. In the news paper line, he is editor of the Masonic Trowel and manager of the Arkansas Methodist, having at one time been honored with the presidency of the Arkansas Press Association. In ma sonic circles too, he has been a leader, being past grand master. He now has the distinction of being the super intendent of the largest Sunday school in Arkansas.
 Tie bride too has taken an active interest ill church work, having been for several years district secretary of the foreign missionary society and a Sunday school teacher and organist in the Methodist church of this city Her graces of character and dispo- sition are too many for enumeration and the INDEPENDENT congratulates the groom upon the helpmeet he has chosen, hoping that their future may be richly blessed in a happiness that shall fall to their lot through useful lives.
