here from trainmen and negro pas
sengers on the Southern Pacific state
that John Armstrong, a negro hanged
at Columbus, Tex, Friday April 10. for
wife murder, revived after being
placed In his coffin, and when deliv
cred to his brother at Sealy for bur
ial was given medical attention. 1t Is
declared that Armstrong is now living
and that friends and relatives are
keeping the matter quiet. fearing the
state will again step In. Efforts to
confirm the story thus far are without
avail, but the fact that the negros
feet touched the ground when he was
hanged lends evidence to the report,
II Armstrong Is living, he will be the
only living man who has paid the
death penalty. The fact that he was
pronounced dead at the hanging rem,
ders the state powerless to again en-,
force the death penalty.

MACADAMIZED STREETS AND
ROADS.

The article following is a clipping
from a patent inside and therefore is
published without due credit, but it is
of interest to all the people concerned
in good roads: The treatment of mac
adamized streets and roads with crude
petroleum as preventive of dust in
summer and mud in winter was first
attempted in southern France ten or
fifteen years ago, and appears to have
been successful, notes the New York
Tribune. But for obvious reasons the
use of petroleum soon gave way to that
of coal tar, which, as by-product of
gas manufacture, can be bought in near
ly every district of France for from
$40 to $I2.5o ton. Coal tar hardens
when exposed in thin layer to the ac
ton of the air, covering the surface of
the road with practically air and
water tight skin, which not only holds
down the dust in dry weather, but pre-
vents water from penetrating the road
way in time of rain.

NATIONAL COTTON CONGRESS
Call by the President to Meet at Monte
Ne, Ark, June II, 1907.

Paris, Texas, May 1, 1oo7.-The sec
ond meeting of the National Cotton
Congress, organized in 1906, will be
held at Monte Ne, Arkansas, during the
week beginning June II, 1907. This
body is composed of persons interested
in the growth, marketing and manufac-
ture of cotton. and the objects for
which it was formed are information
and discussion of matters pertaining to
the cotton industry, the advancement OF
all the branches of that industry, and
social intercourse between people en-
gagged in its different phases
The occasion is intended 10 furnish a
friendly meeting ground to the men
and the families of the men, who grow
cotton, gin it, compress it, merchandise
it, buy and sell it, finance it, spin it and
weave it. We make common ground
upon which can meet for the common
good, planters. ginners, warehousemen,
buyers, sellers, bankers, spnners and
weavers of cotton-and discuss ques-
tons and do things intended to benefit
the cotton trade generally.
Where all interests are represented
it will be impossible for any one or two
to take any action detrimental to the
general good Indeed, being an organi-
zation without any capital stock, with
no dues or fees from members and
meeting only once year, we could not
expect to exercise any very powerful
influence unless it might be i'll the direc-
ton of education. and i'll a social way
bring about among all the interests
mentioned more friendly feeling and
better knowledge of each other.
The National Cotton Congress is not
intended to take the place of the Farm
ers Union or the Southern Cotton As
ISOLATION, but rather to supplement and
aid the work in which these great or
CARNATIONS are engaged. Most of our
members, men who assisted at our or
ganization, are also members of one or
the other of the organizations men
toned.
Let us prepare for pleasant social
week in the pure air and delightful
scenery of the grand and picturesque
Ozarks, with instructive business talks
and discussions on the great Southern
staple. All persons interested in the
cotton industry, in any of its branches,
are invited to be present They may
be assured of having delightful week
in life-giving surroundings of great
natural beauty and a profitable inter
change of ideas ON all the phases of the
cotton question.

CLEVELAND, NEVER.

From New York comes the statement
that an effort is being made to induce
Grover Cleveland to become candidate
for the Democratic nomination for the
presidency in 1908. With blaring OF
trumpets it is announced that some of
the most powerful financial interests of
New York city are back of this move
ment In it are included almost as
many Republicans as Democrats. AS
the powerful financial interests of New
York never indorse a man who is not
fully identified with their interests, it
follows, therefore, that this privileged
class know their man and would rather
risk Cleveland than Roosevelt, Taft or
some Republican who may become the
President of the United States
In the telegram it is made plain that
the idea is to put Mr. Cleveland forward
in the hope OF eliminating Organism
and Hearstisn, and to secure the sup
port of the conservatives of both par
ties. 1t is understood that so far those
who are engineering this movement
have had very little encouragement from
MFR. Cleveland. Fortunately, if Mr..
Cleveland were TO lend himself to these
schemers, he could not defeat Bryan in
the next Democratic National Conven-
ton. but if he were the candidate of the
party he would receive such rebuke
as would overwhelm him in the most
radical contempt of ridicule.
Without reverting to the past, the dis
comhture of the party which gloriiied
Cleveland may be traced to his mug
wump policy, to his allies, the safe, .
the sane" and the "sound" Democrats
who aided and abetted in the election
of the Republican candidate in opposi-
ton to the Democratic nominee and
standard-bearer of the party
If Cleveland had not the confidence
of the financial interests of New York,
if he were not rated as their friend, he
would not now be connected with the
The mention of his name is
simply feeler, and if the past be a
guide for the future, it is perfectly
safe" and sane and sound to op-
pose any political suggestions which
may emanate from THE most powerful
financial interests of New York" when
applied to the Democracy and the peo-
pie.
