IT is TIME TO CALL HALT. o44za LATE STATE NEWS.

Sheri James Could has complaint
which he wants to make public 1t
is the matter of certain parties giving
bend for the appearance OF we'll
known crooks and then asking Gov,
Davis, to relieve them of the costs
when the crook skips cut. On Sep
tember q, 1908, Henry Williams and
William Goodloe, two We'll known ne
on the charge of grand larceny for
robbing a negro farmer on the streets
of Pine Bluff. The officers took a
great deal of trouble to capture the
two criminals in the interest CT law
and order. True bills We're found
and bond for each was fixed at $500.
Goodloe failed to make bond because
he had no money with which to buy
one, and the law took it's course and
Goodloe is now serving out his SEN
tence in the penitentiary. Williams
in some manner raised some money,
$3.50 in all, with which he employed
attorneys to make bond for him. Not
withstanding the we'll known reputa-
tion for crookedness ON the part of
this negro, e. G. Brockway went his
bond for $500 and Immediately upon
his release, the negro skipped out and
has never been heard from since.
Mr.. Brockway is now getting up pc
tition to Gov Davis asking to be re-
lieved from the payment of the costs
of the bond.
Sheriff Gould feels that Mr.. Brcckway
| is not only making it hard for the Off
GERS to do their duty in capturing these
criminals, but that he is imposing upon
good citizens in asking them to sign
the petition to Gov. Davis for his
| relief when all the facts in the case
are not known. Mr.. Gould says the
character of the negro, Williams, was
we'll known, and that Mr.. Brockway
should not have made bond for him.
Williams belonged in Jail just as
much as did Gcodloe, and the law
should have been allowed to send him
to the penitentiary. He is now at
liberty to rob others. The law in
the matter is plain and once having
stood for the appearance of the negro
tough in the courts Mr. Brockway
man Or pay the forfeiture.

the automobile is concerned. She is
a delicate appearing woman but she
handles a machine as a good rider
handles a horse and nothing in the
shape of speed is too warm for her
She backs. and wheels and surges
ahead and checks the machine within
an inch of the sidewalk and shoots
past places where a fractional devia-
ton from the course would seem to
seal the fate of the machine. but she
has never met with an accident and
the people who take a trip to the
Springs with her at break neck speed
don't seem to be at all afraid
L is lively picture at night when
the big automobile looms up in the
distance with its immense head light.
1t gets bigger and bigger and then
shoots past. There is a glare of asce-
tyline lights, whirr of wheels. a
flash of Mrs. Linz and her diamonds
and it melts into the darkness again
