SERIOUS THOUGHTS.

Charles Coleman, the negro fiend who murdered and raped Miss Lear in the" Suburbs of Shreveport last week was not hanged by a mob; a speedy trial was had and in three hours af- ter the trial had begun, Coleman was sentenced to be hanged until dead, dead, dead, and the execution was postponed long enough to give time for the preparation necessary to car ry out the instructions of the court in legal manner.
 While Coleman was being protected from a mob at Shreveport by soldiers Friday. negro named Wiltse Page, attempted to rape school girl, elev. en years old, near Bienville, La. Page was captured, identified and then shot and burned by mob of several hun dred men. The question once more comes to mind: Why will such ne. groes surrender to their brutal pas sions and do the deeds that they know means death to themselves? Does the animal in this class of the negro sink him to the level of the brute, dethrone what reason he may have possessed and cause him to defy or ignore the penalty-death-so swift and sure? It appears 60, and another question comes unbidden, but comes with staggering force What are We, to- do with this b4 ,tal class of the souther negro? How are we to protect our homes from his beastly attacks. since even certain death does not deter him? These are serious questions.

COTTON IN 1906.

The fact has at last come out clearly that Texas farmers last year did not restrict their cotton acreage for the purpose of raising the price of the staple, but because they were compell- ed to by season most unfavorable for planting.
 The season permitting, the south west, as we'll as the southeast, will ir all probability get back this year to the acreage of 1904 and, maybe, ex- ceed it.
 In view of the worlds increasing demand for cotton and cotton seed it seems that this may be safely done. provided, always, that other crops are not neglected.
 Counting in the vicissitudes of the crop season with those of the markets it is never safe to put all one's eggs into one basket. But the cotton farm CT who makes his farm self-sustain- ing by giving fair attention to diver sified crops and to live stock need hardly fear to plant as much cotton as he can cultivate and pick.-St Louis Republic.

 The Chicot Spectator touches the keynote of the. commercial situation in it's town in the following: Several of our enterprising citizens who are working hard for the town and county have at last closed deal with firm to locate hoop factory in Lake Vil- lage. This new. enterprise will be located near the Lake Village Ice and Coal company's plant and the railroad company will build switches and spurs for the convenience of un. loading timber at the factory door With the location of the factory about fifteen white families will move to our city and about s200o per month will be turned loose for labor. say nothing of the money that will be paid out over the country for labor in secur- ing timber to keep the plant running the year round. Now let's get to work and secure waterworks ana electric liehts. the compress and cot ton oil mill and several thousand dol lars more each month ip the coffers of our business men will encourage them and Lake Village will soon he a city. :

LA FOLLETTE'S SECRET
Explanation of Famous Senator's Mar
 vellous Memory for Faces.

Sheboygan, Wis, March 5.-Sheboy- gan high school was the scene of the disclosure of the real secret of Sen ator La Follette's marvellous memory for faces.
 Marie Thiesen won the debate for her team on the question that La Fal- lette is politician and not a states man by declaring that the senator has always carried around with him card index of the persons he ought to know, thereby making it possible for him to recognize men he has seen only once before, and to converse with the man the intricate details of their business, family affairs and their political beliefs. This ability has won hundreds of votes for him.

town applies to every other town ana city in the country. Build up the manufacturing interests of the to"n' and all other interests will feel the influences for good which the fac- tories bring Agricultural resources can not always be depend upon, TOT crops will fail occasionally. But the factory runs on the same, year ill and year out, distributing money With a regulariity which makes for the SUD- stantial growth and prosperity o1 d locality. Pine Bluff needs factofles- factories of all kinds. With the 1apu lous and varied undeveloped re- sources we have back of us, factofleS of nearly every conceivable klhd would pay-pay themselves and the city.

BOY GUILTY
Shot a Companion While Hunting
 Rabbits Near Cadao.

Durant, l. T., March 5.-After be- ing out about four hours, a jury in the United States court at this place returned a verdict of manslaughter against Arthur Hensley, aged thirteen years. of Caddo. for the killing of Clarence Swartz November 6, 1906 The indictment charged murder, but the defense was that it was an ac- cidental shooting.
 On the evening of November 6 last, Arthur Hensley and his smaller brother. together with the SwartZ boy. started hunting af-er school, in large pasture adjoining the town of Caddo. The Hensley boys return ed hone and went to bed without say ing anything to anyone concerning their trip. and next morning, upon the failure of the Swartz boy to return home the night before, the family started an investieafion. MT. Swartz interrcgated the Hensley boys but
 
 they denied knowing his whereabouts, claiming they left him at a water tank in the field. An organized search was instituted and the boys were taken to the field to show where they had left the SWartz boy. At the same time two ladies discovered the dead body near the top of the hill south west of town. and when brought to the spot Arthur Hensley still denied the killing. After a number of boys had been put in the Caddo jail and left over night. the older Hensley boy confessed to the shooting, but claimed it was accidental. His brother related similar story, and upon this story the defense was made. It was to the effect that the boys had started rabbit and in attempting to accidentally discharged it, and the load of shot striking the Swartz boy in the left side and arm. He died al most instantly, and the boys claimed through fright they planned secrecy
 The convicted boy is small for his age and many incidents during the trial were very pathetic The little defendant has not yet been sentenced. His attorney will file motion for new trial.

AS TO HOLDING COTTON.

it is observed that the executive committee of the Southern Cotton as soeiation does not endorse the propo- sition of the E. R. Thomas syndicate tc take half million bales of cotton at thirteen cents, and MT. Harvie Jordon is cut in letter advising owners of cotton to stand by the reso- II tion to hold for fifteen cents.
 This position of the executive con- mittee and of MT. Jordon is entirely logical, as they are officers of the or saniZation that advised the holding for the larger price. Consistency de- manded that they should not advise selling for thirteen cents, yet it may be assumed that in their private ca pacity, if they own any cotton, they would prefer selling today, at 13 cents, to holding for 15 cents
 So long as the rule of prices is above the cost of production, and a fair profit is assured, it is much more  difficult to persuade farmers to hold cotton than it is when prices are at a lower level. It was easy enough to convince growers that they ought not to sell at six or seven cents, but not so easy to persuade them to refuse eleven and twelve cents.
 Every condition justifies the expec- tation of better prices for the staple. But if the farmer needs money and is offered price for his holdings that assures him satisfactory profit, he is very apt to take it, without re- gard to any resolutions adopted by conventions, however he may approve them, as general proposition.

A. V. Swaty, special agent of the department of agriculture, made ar- engagements this week with Mir. AL britton, living one mile east of Hope, to put in five acres of corn and five of cotton under the direction of the department in order that the full pro ducing power of the soil might be demonstrated.-Ho Gazette.
 For some reason or another Jeffer- son county has not taken kindly to the experimental farm, yet it is a most useful thing for the agricultural in. terests. Three or four of them in this county, under governmental su. pervision, would revolutionize some of cur farming methods in the course of short time, and would be the means of making thousands of dollars for the farmers.

Drew county has a lot of fine lana that should be growing crops. People to work it is wanting. and if proper effort was made these could be ln- duced to come. Back in the old states are plenty of people who would be glad to come here if they only knew what fine country we have.-Monti- cellonian.
 The Monticellonian is right, as usu- al. There are multiplied thousands of ceod reliable farmers in the con- eested centers of the east who would snap up the real estate bar gains of Drew county. and Jefferson county. and every other county in the state. if our wealth of resources could be brought properly before them. Keeping eyerlastingly at it' is a good way of hammering this into their heads, however, and few more illus trated booklets descriptive of our country will do a world of good in turning the tide of emmigration Ar kanSa asWard.

THE OHIO RACE RIOTS.

The race troubles in the Ohio town of Springfield recall Thomas Jeffer- sons forecast that nothing was more certain than that the negroes would some day be free and that, being free, they and the whites could never live side bp side in peace.
 The trouble started in the shooting of white man by negroes. The news dispatches are silent upon the point whether the aggression was on the side of the negroes or of the white man whom they shot. Practically, it makes no difference. In fracas of that sort the simple fact of the shoot ing of a white man by negro is apt to bring out a mob of avengers.
 Western towns in which there are negro settlements are more apt to have such clashes than those of the south. where the negroes understand the situation better There a negro may commit cowardy murder or be guilty of the other lynchable offense, but he is not apt to resort to an open clash of arms with the whites.
 Very likely, in time, we shall have greater segregation of the races than is now foreseen The mode of living and the moral standards of the two races are so widely diverse that the moving of negroes into a city neigh borhood means the moving out of the whites. In scores of towns in the west and the southwest, which seem never to have gotten into any statis- tical tables, negro residents are not permitted. There may be no law for it. but they are compelled to move on if they arrive. In Texas the other day a negro town was started from which whites are to be excluded, if any should desire to come.
 The miasma of the race coast of Carolina gives the negroes practical ly monoply of that field They can Have q Ol tlle luUOI III luC alluvial lands of the Lower Missis- sippi valley if they want it; but it is doubtful if they do, and those lands are too productive to be titled shift lessly. Drainage is likely in time to make them available for white settle ment.
 Jefferson knew the negro an! he knew the white man. There was probably as much of ethnological wis domi as of law in Roger B. Taney's dictum that in this country "the ne gro has no rights which .,ie white man is bound to respect" The fu- ture of the negro in America is one of the most interesting ethnological problems of the age. He can thrive here only by conforming to the white mans standards of law and of living. But; will he do it?

Secretary Wilson urges the neces sity of organizing, in connection with the Weather Bureau, flood ser. vice. to give the dwellers along the banks,of our rivers warning of coming floods. Good! But organization to make the floods serviceable would eventually fender such warnings un. necessary. Reservoirs and irrigation ditches would rob "the swelling of Jordon, or of any other river, of all it's terrors.

olutely safe from mo1estation of any

solutely safe from molestation of any kind.
 Again, if we call out the militia down this way the boys behind the bayonets are prepared to and protect their dignity as soldiers as we'll as the dignity of the authority calling them to the field.
 Up in Springfield the N. G. s. O.. succeeded in forming bucket brl- gade of themselves to quench a fire, but as soldiers to protect the peace and dignity of the state they were one and all rank failures. When it came to the crucial question of firing on the mob, or else permit the rioters to continue their lurid work they chose the latter, even at the expense of being buffeted by the looters.
 Tn other words. the militia in Springfield permitted the mob to box it's ears, whereupon it laid aside it's weapons and became assiduous as water-pourers.
 We can not conceive of anything approaching this sort of scene as hap pening in the south. Indeed, we ven ture to say that it could not happen here, for the militia of this section of the country has too much respect for it's unifornl-even though it be blue-to permit rioters to convert a company of soldiers into water bri- gade."

Had Russia been country of small farms, like France, and had small part of the governmental energy which was expended in military az gression on weaker neighbors been spent in promoting an improved agri- culture, the present revolution would probably never have occurred. The quarrel of the people was not with the principle of autocracy-rather they glcry in it--hut with false social system based on the ownership os the land by a few.

THAT FOURTH AVENUE MUDDLE


 Regardless of the merits of the con- troyersy between the light and water companies of Pine Bluff and the city council, the Graphic cannot commend the methods employed by the mayor in bringing about a settlement. Be the companies ever so much ln the wrong in continuing to maintain their poles on Fourth avenue against the express wishes and orders of the councilmen, 1t yet remains for the mayor to justify his actions in the eyes of the law-abiding public. The days of vigilance-committee methods are past, and the new era of right and justice to all have already dawn ed in the South. It was just such procedure as this which serves to maintain erroneous impressions abroad relative to the social condi- tions here. Indeed, right along this line of thought, the statement comes from an interested party that he fail ed to float several thousand dollars worth of bonds .of one of the local light companies, during a trip east, because he was confronted every whre with the argument that Arkan- sas would not give proper protec tion to her business interests.
 In extenuation of the lamentable action of the mayor, the argument is advanced that this was the quickest and most effective means of bringing about the desired results. The Gra- phic dissents from this view of the situation. Two wrongs cannot make a right, and Saturday nights action was wrong in principle No argument ean sustain the wahtbn destruction of property. But, say the supporters of this action. any other action would have entailed long -drawn-out fight through the courts. Had the mayor attempted to remove the poles by more conventional means, he would have been promptly enjoined by the courts, they argue.
 Then, the Graphic believes, the in- junction should have been the means 2 settling the dispute. The courts of equity of this country are supposed to have their foundation for the very purpose herein set forth, and the Graphic does not believe that the peo- pie of Pine Bluff would have an in- Justice done even a water and light company. If the courts of the land hold that the companies have legal right to maintain their poles on Fourth avenue. or any part of 1t, who is there to gainsay9 the courts man. dates, regardless of personal wishes The Graphic would like to see every pole removed from Fourth avenue, but if the courts declare that it is right for them to remain the Graphic believes no law-abiding citizen of Pine Bluff will advocate any other course than acQuiescence in the courts ruling T.'
 The Graphic has no desire to be un- fair to either side ip this very serious question, nor has 1t any, ax to .grild; but it regards the action Of last Sat. urday night as being entirely too primitive for this age and entirely un- called for by the circumstances. Whether Mayor White had the en-
