1t was true. The cat had found the

it up, and she had a jag on. She rolled
her eyes, waved her tail and bumped
her back. and as Mr.. Bowser pushed a
chair at her she uttered several blood

circle around the room. She went over
and under chairs, up on the mantel
and down, over the piano and under
the lounge, and wherever she went she
left a trail of broken bric-a-brac be-

THE RACE WAR IN ARKANSAS.
The Griffin Brothers Also Killed
Death List Numbers Thirteen.

Little Rock. March ga special
from Dewitt to The Gazette says: Two
more negroes have been killed in the
clash between whites and blacks at ST.
Charles, fifteen miles from here in Ar
kansas county. This brings the total
of dead negroes up to Is. all Of them
being killed within the past week.
The last two negroes were the Griffin
brothers, Henry and Walker. who were
the cause of the trouble The negroes
were reported to nave escapd, but 1t
Is known that they are dead and 1t is
believed they were killed Yesterday.
Owing to the remoteness of st. Charles
and to the fact that news Of the result
of the riot is not given out freely, IL is
difficult to obtain details. but there is
no doubt Of the authenticity OF the
death of the Grifins.
In the st. Charles neighborhood the
negroes largely outnumber the whites
and trouble has been brewing for a
long time and it is said the negroes
for the past TWO a have been get
ting insolent and belligerent. 1t is now
believed that the leaders Of the unruly
element "a been killed and that fur
Their trouble will be averted.
Yesterday was election day and
usually on such a day St. Charles is
crowded with negroes. but during the
entire day only two negroes were seen
in the town, and these two appeared in
the morning and stayed in the village
but a short time. Near ST. Charles
the negroes are quiet and are attend
ing strictly to their FORK. The trouble
originated last Monday when the two
Griffns met two white men. brothers,
named Searcy. The Searcys, who are
fishermen. and the Griffins had an al
~tercation a few days before. and when
they met the trouble was renewed.
One of the negroes armed himself with
he leg of a chair and. with his brother,
assaulted h white men. beating them
so severely that one is on the verge Of
death and the other is in a critical con-
dition. In an effort to arrest the Crit
fins eleven negroes ave been killed.
The death of the VIZ Griffins makes
the death list number Is.

the place of the cocktail. then the
couple of hours 1 shall be able to deter
mine the question"
You'd better let the club do its own
experimenting" observed Mrs. Bowser.
Its a funny thing that you are always
picked out for such occasions. If the
secretary wants to find out the differ
ence between cocktails and milk punch
es, let him guZzle."
Mr.. Bowser flushed red and white,
and the cat thought he was going to
get up and kick over chairs, but with a
great effort he restrained himself and
took Il piece Of paper from his pocket
and said:
Il see that you do not yet compre-
bend the SIZE of the situation or the
gravity of the occasion. Let me give
you a few statistics. More than S16.-
100000 per year is paid ri for cock
tails. At least 10000 drunkards are
made every year through the influence
of those drinks. The number of MUIR
-ders is about 4,000, and the number Of
happy homes wrecked is $3.50. Last
year. for instance, the number of en-
gagements broken off between loving
couples for no other reason outside of
cocktails was $1,000. Cocktails are de-
generating the intellect. of this country
more than all other drinks combined.
and if q substitute is not soon found
we must as Il nation take third or
fourth place. If one cocktail will act
on q Ia as il did on me. you must
realize the danger we are in as a ma
tion."
Then why not let everything go

From present appearances it looks
like the government wor on the Cape
Fear river will be stopped on April
18th. This was feared some time ago
when it first became known that there
would be no regular river and harbor
bill, but only a deficiency appropriation
in which improvements in certain
states would be included. The def
cheney appropriation bill was reported
last saturday and the state of North
Carolina utterly ignored. Nearly every
other harbor of any Importance on the
Atlantic coast was included but Will
m1ngton. When it became known that
improvements it would have to be In
the deficiency bill. the chamber OF
commerce took the matter UP with
Congressman Burton. chairman of the
committe on river and harbor improve
ments. He promised to come to Will
mIngton and look into the situation,
but nothing further has been heard
since h promise vas made. The citi-
Zens naturally expected their repre-
sentative in congress-. Hon. Geo. B.
Patterson. to see that at least a small
appropriation be made for keeping the
improvements on the Cape Fear from
det~eriorating.
On account of the total disregard OF
North Carolina in the bill. MI. J.. Alien
Taylor. president of the chamber OF
ing telegram to Congressman -Patter-
on:
Hon.. G. B. Patterson. Washington,
D. c.:
Harbor bill reported Saturday makes
no provision for Wilmington or North
Carolina. Please move vigorously to
protect our interests.
J. A. TAYLOR.
President Chamber of Commerce.
To this telegram MI. Patterson replied
as follows:
J. A. Taylor, Wilmington, N. c.:
Rive and harbor bill not yet re-
ported. Will protect Wilmington.
G.. B. PATTERSON.
Mr.. Taylor then sent the following:
Hon. G.. B. Patterson. Washington,
d. c.:
Am Informed that there will be To
regular river and harbor bill this ses-
sion. Deficiency appropriation bill to
continue river and harbor work report
ed Saturday in which Wilmington was
omitted is what 1 referred to. With
out appropriation work here will a
April 18th. Advise.
J. A. TAYLOR.
President Chamber of Commerce.
Part of the government work of i'm
proving the channel of the river has
already ceased and it will all be stopp-e1
by April 18TH if no appropriation is
made at this term of congress-. 1t Is
highly important that an appropriation
be made at the present time. Esti
mates show that an appropriation OF
$40, 900 per year would keep the work
from deteriorating. If the work is now
stopped and nothing one within the
next two years. it will take at that time
between $15O,OOO and 100000 to get the
channel in it's present condition. The
reaso congress does not pass the reg
ular river and harbor bill is because
they wish to use the monev in other
ways for political purposes. Those
who have the matter in hand here have
