Working On Ills Autobiography.

Little Rock, March 13-James w. Ince, the Yell county mur- derer of his wife and three chil- dren, whose execution was set Saturday by Gov. Davis for April 4, is busy in his cell at the old penitentiary in this city writ ing his autobiography, which he has asked Father Horan of Little Rock to have published and sold after his execution and the pro- ceeds to be used to erect a mon- ument over his wife and children whom he so foully murdered. : Ince appears now reconciled to his fate since the Arkansas supreme court has twice refused to reverse and remand the case on the ground of insanity, and he at times talks freely of what he terms his unfortunate life and charges his conviction to alleged false statements sworn by his prosecutors.
 When seen at the penitentiary yesterday afternoon by demo- ~crat reporter he was at work making horsehair watch chains (which he said Twill sell for a kgood price if 1 am hanged, " for as long as there is life there IS hope. He spoke of a petition which would soon be presented to the governor by his Yell county friends, asking for a life sen tence.

N[ TUTURf FUR RICE. ~ Predicts that it Will Become Me Leading Occupation.

Lonoke, March 14-Rufus 4 Nelson, who holds a pro-nine,
 position in connection with Al
 kansas experimental stations,
 in town on business connect<
 with the rice station located he.
 MT. Nelson expressed satlac- tion at the large number q'far- mers that are preparing t grow the cereal, and confdepe in his v> prediction made nearly}wo years ago that rice culture would be- come the leading occupation in this part of the stae.
 This low level pfairie land up- on which this experiment is be- ing made, MT. Melson says, is admirably adapted for rice cult ure, in that fhe texture is close and stiff, And underlaid by an impervioYk subsoil which forms a hard pan, making almost ideal conditions for irrigation.
 This peculiar condition causes the Soil to hold water, greatly ecYhomizing the amount neces- sAry for irrigation; when turned 1off it soon dries, allowing the use of the binder. Experience has proved that an inexhaustible supply of water can be obtained at a depth of 100 to 180 feet.
 Besides the land is so nearly level that no expensive levees or ditches are required. It is also probable, MT. Nelson says that rice can be grown on any lands in Southern Arkansas that can be irrigated. So far no experi- ments have been made on the alluvlal lands Of the bottoms, but where irrigation is practical and drainage good rice should succeed. The best soil for rice, . he says, is medium loam with about fifty per cent of clay, as this allows enough humus for the greatest fertility, and at the same time makes it sufficiently compact. Sandy or gravelly soils are not good, as ordinarily, they do not possess the mechanical conditions to hold water.
 MT. Nelson is now taking a postgraduate course in the State university.

Emmett Jeffery.

The Hon. Emmett Jeffery, of Newport, announces in this is- sue for the important position of Prosecuting Attorney for the Third Judicial Circuit. MT. Jeffery is native of Stone county and is essentially a self made man, having arisen to the prominence he has attained through difficulties. For sev- eral years Mir. Jeffery taught in the public schools, during which time he read law, and in 1898 was licensed by Judge Fulker- son to practice law, since which time he has been actively en- gagged in the practice of law his chosen profession and has for several years been associated in said practice with the Hon. Gustave Jones, of Newport. In 1900 Mir. Jefery was nominated for the legislature in Stone county, having defeated one of his present opponents, the Hon. Sam Casey, who was seeking re- election and at said election MT. Jeffery received the largest vote that had been cast for a single candidate in years. MT. Jeffery is lawyer of marked legal at- tainments, a gentleman in all the term implies and should he be elected to the coveted position, he would fill the position so full of laurels that his constituency would never have cause to regret their action. - Walnut Ridge Blade.

Newport daily independent., 1906-03-15

Emmett is well qualified to fill the place and would make an ex- cellent prosecuting attorney. He is a man of more than ordl- nary ability and well qualified m every way for the position. He is an honorable, Christian gen. tleman; agreeable and accom- plished, fond of social inter- course with his friends and ac- quaintances, and fine lawyer. The states interests would be safe in his hands. He is a good business man, and no young man ever raised in Stone county ever enjoyed a higher character for good citizenship. He has stood for good morals and a strict compliance with the jaws of the land, and those whom the law would make it hls duty to ap- pear in court against, might eX- pect a strong and firm prosecu- ton, but would need to have no fear of being persecuted or re- ceiving unfair treatment at his hands.
 At the age of IS years he be- gan teaching school, in which profession he soon took rank as one of he most successful and up-to-date teachers of his county, and later on, while engaged in teaching he began the study of law, and in 1898 he was, by Judge Fulkerson. licensed to practice law, since which time he has followed practicing law. In 1900 he was elected to the legislature, where he served with distinction and credit.
 Since the adoption of the con- stitution of 1874, Stone has been one of the counties composing the old Third Judicial Circuit, and in all these thirty years she has never furnished judge nor prosecuting attorney, and if at the coming primaries the Demo- crats of the old Third circuit should choose MT. Jeffery as their standard bearer for this important and honorable position, Stone county would feel greatly honored by having one of her favorite sons thus honored. - Mountain View News.

His Honor.
Chief Justice W.H.Beatty
Makes a Call on
Executive.

Mayor Schmitz is in quandary as to
where he will locate his Official quar-
ters now that he has received notice of
eviction from Chief Justice Beatty as
a result of the ultimatum of the ladies
of the Century Club.
Yesterday morning his Honor the
Chief Justice waited on the Mayor and
rendered him the notice that requires

Justice Beatty, as he entered the
Mayors room, shook his Honor by the
hand. at the same time saying:
"I presume your Honor has read in
this mornings Call that the ladies of
the Century Club wish that only the
Supreme Court have possession of their
building?"
II read it in The CALL" replied the
Mayor. "It was the first intimation ]
had received of the matter and"
What was stated in The Call, Mr..
Mayor, was perfectly correct, and
fear 1t will be necessary for your
Honor to find another place by the end
of the month
At this point the Chief Justice cour-
teously withdrew with the hope that
the city's chief executive may be suita-
bly, located by the time mentioned.
Later Mayor Schmitz said: This has
not had time to consider where / shall
move to. 1 have until the end of the
month, however, to decide"
Chief Justice Beatty said he had also
notified the citizens and promotion
committees through Rufus p Jennings,
and as in the case of the Mayor the
organizations agreed TO give up their
commodious room by the end or the
present month. There has not been
lime on such short notice for the or
ganizations to determine where 1T will
be best to establish their headquarters.
Rufus F. Jennings was out during the
day making inquiry as TO accommoda-
tions. If it is not possible to be in the
same building with Mayor Schmitz
when he moves the various committees
will at any rate endeavor to locate
close to his Honors new quarters
