The lynchings reported for 1902 showed
a decrease of twenty-nine as compared
with those of 1901, but the last year they
have increased again, the list standing
1o4 for 1903, as compared with ninety-six
in 1902. OF these lynchings. twelve occur
red in the North and ninety-two in the
South. OF the victims, eighty-six were
negroes, seventeen whites, and one Chi
naman One woman was lynched in Mis-
sissippi and one in louisiana
The number of legal executions in 1893
was 123. as compared with IA in 1902, lis
In 1901, and 1le in 1900. There were sew
enty-seven persons hanged in the South
and forty-six in the North. Sixty-three
were whites and sixty blacks.
Suicides are steadily Increasing in the
United States and the value of human
life steadily cheapens. The suicides of
one year closely resemble those of another
year in causes and methods. No special
feature stands out conspicuously except
the ease with which the victims can OBJ
tain poison from the druggists. Poison
ing is the most common method of COM
hitting suicide, and carbolic acid is the
NEST common poison in use.
The total number of cases reported dur
ing the year is s,5s7-5.3s5 men and 3,2I2
women-as compared with s,291 in 1892
How steadily suicides increase annually is
shown by the following figures: In 1899
there were $40 cases; in 1900, 6,755; in
1901, 7,245; in 1902. 1921. Physicians, as
usual. head the list among professional
men, the record standing: Physicians, 30;
ministers, s. lawyers, 4; artists, 4; col
lege professors, 2; actors, l.; bank Off
Gals, II.
The record of embezzling, forgery, de-
faulting and bank-wrecking for 1903 shows
a slight decrease, being 6,562, I65, as COM
pared with ss,7ss,1 25 last year. The losses
are distributed as follows: Stolen by pub
lie officials, $6l5,17s: from banks, 81 $50, 1872;
by agents, N,712.sl2; forgeries, s21s, s17;
from loan associations, slss, %: by postal
employees. $17.9s7; miscellaneous stealings,
&. 174,153.
The number of homicides in 1903 shows
a small increase, being 1876; as COM
pared with 1884 In 1902, and 1852 in 1901.
There was an increase in the number of
murders by burglars, thieves and hold-up

The Arkansas Democrat publish ed an item Wednesday evening to the effect that former State Sena- tor George Sengel, of Fort Smith, had just returned from Chicago and other Northern cities, where he had foated bond issue of .Sl,. 000,000 for the Fort Smith Rail- way, Gas < Electro Company, and thinks it was . financial feat which probably stands alone in the an nals of Arkansas fnanciering. The memory of the Democrat is q little at fault, as it probably knows that Capt. James Russell. of this city. treasurer of the St Frarcis Levee Board. in connection with Presi. dent o. N. Killough, has within recent time foated million dol lars of the levec bonds. and, be sides, borrowed S325,0 at one clip. And he didn't have tp go to Chicago either.

THE SPEAKING.

Hon. R, Bruce Macon, rcpresen- tative of the First Congressional district, and candidate of the dem. ocratic hosts for reelection to that office, was in the city yesterday shaking hands with his constitu- ents and circulating among his nu- merous friends and admirers. In the afternoon he addressed small audience of the unterrified at the courthouse, and those who did not have the pleasure of hearing him missed one of the best and most important events of the political season.
 He presented the democratic side of the present contest of the nation al hosts in very able and elo- quent manner, and impressed his hearers with the importance of get ting out full vote at the election on November 9th.
 Roosevelt's two-sided public life was reviewed Tn manner demon. sirating the grave concern which every white man in this lovely Southland should feel at the signs of the times.
 Mir. Macon's speech was we'll re- celvcd and he was heartily con- graduated when he had finished. It is unfortunate that he did not have larger audience, and would have had, no doubt, but for the very busy season winch prevents the farmers or the merchats from leaving their crops or business.
 MT. Macon is doing a great work for the people of his district, and he is appreciated in this county, as is demonstrated by the hearty re- ception he receives whenever he visits here.
