THE STORY WAS TRUE ONE
coRoNERs INQUEST OVER REM aims NEGRO
LEvEE CAMP AT PASTORAL VERlFIEs THE. STATEMENTS
PRINTED IN THE GRAPHIC LA ST MONDAY AS


Further details of the terrible trag
edy among the negroes employed on
the levee gang at Pastor1a last Sun
day have reached the city, and they
fully corroboratv the particulars Civ
en- in the Graphic last Monday. JUS
tice Troupe Bush held an inquest over
the remains of the negro who was kill
ed and the verdict Of the jury was to
the effect that the negro, whose name
is unknown, came to his death by gun
shot wounds inflicted by unknown par
ties. A reputable eye witness of the
affair states that about fifty shots
were fired altogether, and expresses
the wonder that no more were killed
or wounded. The negro who was SO
seriously wounded, Tom Smith by
name, was brought to this city for
medical attention, and is still here. It
is thought now that he will recover.
The wounded negro states that the
shooting was the result of an old
grudge that originated in Mississippi.

The prisoner, who had pleaded in
defense that he was starving and "too
proud to beg" thereupon, in a final
effort to obtain mercy, broke into this
carol:
Now Johnnie was a joker,
He went upon the stage,
Had lots of nerve, would never swerve
And thought he'd be the rage.
He waltzed out to the footlights
All painted like moke.
The ladies sighed, the gallery cried
When Johnnie cracked a Joke.
Junk, junk, junk,
Put it away in your trunk,
Junk, junk, junk"
"One year in JAIL" interrupted the
Judge.

Mr.. GoULD's ANNOUNCEMENT.

Mr.. James Gould announced Wed,
county and probate judge OF Jefferson
county In presenting Mr.. Gould's
name to the public, the Graphic has no
nesitancy in saying that, should he be
elected to this important post the du-
ties of the office will be in as able
bands as could be selected by the peO-
pie. Mr. Gould's past record bears out
the statement. During the two terms
he has held the office of sheriff, the
affairs of the Office have never been
more satisfactorily managed for the
public good; and should he be honor
ed with the Office OF county Judge, that
affairs of that office will be equally
well conducted by him.
The office of county judge, while
affording few emolumen.s to the in
cun.bent, is one of the most import
ant county Offices at the disposal OF
the voters, and it should be filled by
man who has demonstrated his abil-
ity as level-headed business man,
cautious and conservative and clean
in all his business relations. Such a
man Mr.. Gould has always shown him
self to be. Such a man the people be-
liece he will always be, for today
there stands not single man engaged
in the present campaign for Office who
holds higher place in public esteem
than this popular officiai. He will be
q hard man to defeat.
Mr.. Gould has demonstrated his
ability to manage his own private
business interests. He possesses a
wonderful amount of sound Judgment
and executive ability, and has sue
ceeded in building up immense busi-
ness interests of his own. These he
with that conservatism, that
skill and that honesty that mark him
as most excellent timber for the office
CT county and probate judge.

Capt. J. B. Johnson. secretary of the
board of trade, is almost daily in re-
ceipt of letters of inquiry concerning
the hardwood timber of this section.
Capt Johnson says that the greatest
interest in the history Of the country
is now being taken in the timber land S
surrounding Pine Bluff, and he pre-
diets rush for this section of the
country for this class of timber in
the near future. The country surround
ing Pine Bluff is rich in this class of
timber, and the various business inter
osts of the east are learning of it, and
want it. 1t means the establishment of
several other factories of different
kinds here.

ing by Pennsylvania Court.

Reading, Pa, Nov. 23.-In denying
4 new trial to William B. Bechtel ard
John H. Root, convicted OF criminal Ii
bel, Judge Endlich today letined
s'rake-off.' The suit was based on an
article charging former county Of
fetal with getting a ''rake-off" on an
assistants salary. The court holds
that while the expression, according
tc dictionaries, means "the going over
an object which adheres to the rake"
It is proper to take judicial notice OF
current slang phrases understood by
everybody, hence "rake-off' is suf-
fcient basis for libel.

TIME TABLE CLOCK
INNOVATION IN
TRODUCED BY Mr.. ISAAC
DREYFUS.
= Clock Which Tells the Time of the
'slsst ass.st
Trains. Whether Late or on
Time.

Hanging on the elevator guard in
I}reyfus' Big Store are seven clock
faces arranged in long row. Their
purpose eNpla MS in a large measure
the popularity which this great GstaB-
lishment has reached in this country.
They are placed there for the accom-
r.odation of out-of-town customers
who come to the store to purchase
their goods. Many of these customers
ere in a hurry to catch the next train
lack home and are naturally anxious
about the time of arrival of their
trains. Over each clock is placed the
rame of the railroad whose time table
the clock is intended to represent. and
if the train is on time the hands on
the clock face point to the hour and
minute of its schedule time for arriv-
al. If late, cardboard above the
clock face tells the visitor so. and the
hands point to the hour the train is
expected to arrive. Just before the
time of arrival of every train, an en-
rloye of the establishment telephones
to headquarters and ascertains what
time the train will arrive and sets
the hands accordingly. Mr.. Dreyfus
believes in up-to-date methods.

L. r. sALLEE FOR ASSESSOR.

In this issue of the Graphic appears
the announcement of Mr.. l.. T. Sallee
IS candidate for the Office of asses.
Sor Of Jefferson county, subject to the
action of the Democratic primary elec-
ton to be held on January 10. Mr.
sallee is so well known to the voters
of Jefferson county that the Graphic
could say nothing that would extend
that acquaintance. For ten years he
was deputy in the Office of county
and probate clerk, and persons who
had business with that office during
that period will testify to the fact thai
his dut es in that position were al
ways faithfully performed. A great
portion of the time he served as depu-
ty he had all the duties of the office
to perform. He has always been a
loyal Democrat, and has rendered his
party valuable services in time past
Ir 1898, when the county was stirred
AAOAAA CCACCl W Ny
clamor for straight Democratic
ticket to take the place of the then
existing compromise between the
Democrats and Republicans, L. T. Sal
lee, then a resident of Barraque town
ship, took a stand for the straight
ticket" and took every opportunity to
advocate and assist In bringing about
this result that has meant so much
to the Democrats and all good cit-
Zens of the county. When the town.
ship committee was called together
and elected delegates to the county
convention, Mr. Sallee offered a reso-
luton that the delegates be-. instruct
ed to cast their votes for straight
ticket" After some lively opposition
this resolution was adopted. Thus
Barraque township was the first to in
struct for straight ticket" Mr..
Sallee was chosen as one of the dele
gates to the county convention and
on coming to Pine Bluff he was, by
a caucus of Democrats assembled,
unanimously selected as secretary OF
the temporary organization, which Or
eanzation was made permanent upon
the opening of the convention. So Mr..
Sallee has the honor Of being the Sec
letary of the first "stra ght Demo
cratic convention" of old Jefferson
since the disturbing period of the
camnable days of reconstruction.
The time for the primary" has beer
fixed early and Mr.. Sallee states it
will be impossible for him to get out
and see the people as he would like,
keing compelled to remain at his Ia
tors. But as most of the people know
hin as having served as deputy coun-
ty clerk, he, asks thcm to give his
claim for the Office of tax assessor
heir due consideration and if they
leem him worthy and competent, cast
heir votes for him on January 10.
