advantages offered various states in the speakers were enthusiastically re- ceived and they demonstrated in their arguments the many benefits derived from reclamation of farm lands in states like Arkansas, where agricul- ture is one of the most attractive n- dustries, so to speak.
 The members of the party are mak- ing a tour of Eastern Arkansas for the purpose of arouSing enthusiasm on the subject of drainage and dis senlinating information which may be of value in the carrying out of drain age projects.
 In his address yesterday afternoon Dr. Elliott emphasized the importance of the drainage work from the stand point of the public health. He de- clared that this is a paramount con- sideration at points along the Atlan- tic coast, where districts which were formerly uninhabitable because of their malarious conditions have been made healthfuI communities He stated that in other sections the question of profit is paramount. and that of health secondary, but he declared that these conditions are coordinate and that both should be considered when drainage matters are discussed. He declared that even when the districts drained comprise only 15,00O~ GOT 20,- 900 acres. malaria is entirely elim mated within that district. although the: surrounding country may not be drained. as the area covered is suffi cient to eliminate the malaria within the districts drained.
 After Dr. Elliott concluded MT. King explained briefly the object of the present trip and pledged the CO., operation of the Missouri Pacific Sys- tenn in every project which has for it's purpose the reclamation of the swamp lands of Arkansas.

POSTOFFICE IS
 NOT AFFECTED
Report For Month of October Will Show That Over $3,O0O Worth Oi Stamps Were Sold to Pine Bluii Citizens in Thirty
 Days.

As an evidence that the alleged hard ket has not been stalking about in Pine Bluff for the past thirty days. Postmaster Furth is pointing with considerable pride to the fact that the sale of stamps for the month of Oc
 tober almost equals that of the pre- vious month. The sales for the month were $3,550.6S. Assistant Postmaster John D. Wilbourne, who makes out the reports of the ~sales,--stated that the sales for November and Decem- Der of this year would probably be record- breakers, and show wonder
 ful increase in the business of the city during the past twelve months.
 Looking at the business of the c ., from the postofiice standpoint. said Mr. Wilbourne. 'I fail to see WhV there should be any undue alarm over the financial situation in Pine Bluff. There is no better barometer in the business world than the sale Of stamps in the postoftice. If the city's business is dull it will tell in the sale of stamps at the office at once. There has been considerable talk of hard times, and tight money market re- gently and the recent financial disas- ters in New York and Philadelphia have been added; still the postoftice shows an increase in the sale of stamp. Besides the stamp barometer which paid on an average . orders every day of the month. Taking these two branches of the business and putting them together, it shows con- clusively to my mind that Pine Bluff

Ea%, yH4 l-..t..

A large. burly negro burglar. who Z has not been identified. was shot and instantly killed shortly after 8 o'clock Saturday morning while robbing the commissary of the Bluff City Lumber Company on West Fourth avenue near the railroad crossing. The bullet which put an end to the existence of the would-be thief was fired from a revolver in the hand of Wiley Good, a white night watchman employed at that plant. Another negro who is believed to have been a pal of the dead man, escaped. The tragedy oc- cured after Good had invited the ne- gro to come from the building and submit to arrest. He refused to do so declaring that he would "eome to no white man.
 The police are making every effort to have the negro identified, as he IS believed to be wanted somewhere for some crime Many express the
 
 who recently shot several persons and held up several others in the vicinity of Newport, terrorzing many people around that town. Others declare that he answers the description of a negro who stabbed a brakeman to death near Little Rock Thursday, after being elected from a railroad train. He is also believed to be the man wanted in Mississippi for the murder of sheriff. and for whom there is standing reward of $1OOO, dead or alive. Several of the officers believe that he is the negro who murdered a doctor near Conway several days ago. The descriptions of the men wanted at these various places answer almost minutely to the ones sent out, especi- ally the one of the man who stabbed the brakeman near Little Rock. the dead man having two of his front teeth out.
 The negro is about 30 or 36 years old, weighs 170 pounds, has thick lips and black color and is about five feet, eight inches tall. He is powerfully built and possessed of unusually large muscles.
 An inquest was held over the body this morning by Coroner R. D. Me Gaughy at the undertaking establish ment of the Holderness-Fitzhugh Con- pany where the body was taken shortly after the shooting Crowds of curious negroes visited the place all of Saturday, but none of them were able to identify the man. The police and other county officers say the ne- gro is a stranger here.
 Story of the Killing.
 Wiley Good the night Watchman who killed the burglar, testified before the coroners jury as follows:
 Il was making my usual rounds when discovered a rear window of the Bluff City's commissary open peeped in cautiously and spied big negro standing about twenty-five feet from me. He was inside the store. caled to him to come out of there. He said he would come to mo white man. He ran around a table, upon which were piled a lot of blankets. and as he did so I fired at him. He kept running toward the front door and l ran around the store building on the outside, and when I got to the front I heard someone running back towards the rear window again. When I ran around there again, l could find no person around and believe that
