TO WRECK TRAIN
 AND ROB THE DEAD
Two of the Three Negro Suspects Al. legged to Have Confessed to Fiend- ish Plan to Wreck the Cannon
 Ball on Iron Mountain.

Harrisburg, Aug. 7.-Varisity Hall, Jack Mardis and Sam Bur nett, negroes, were captured late yesterday afternoon and turned over to the sheriff here. They are charged with the attempt to wreck the Cannon Ball on the Iron Mountain Railway, at a point near White Hall, a small station 5 miles south of Harris ourg, three or four weeks ago. The plan was to wreck the train and rob the dead, according to the confession made by one of the alleged wreckers. Several cross ties and fence rails were laid across the track at a short curve in the road, where 1t would have been impossible for the en- giueer to have stopped his train after seeing the obstruction, also 1t was at a point where the dump was very high. After placing this obstruction on the track the negroes hid themselves in the bushes to await the train. Euckily two citizens, who live in the vicinity, happened to be out late aud found the timber on the track aud removed 1t and watched until the train passed the point. After working on the case for some time, yesterday the detec- tives of tue company made the the arrests. Two of the negroes have made complete confessions, but Hall, the youngest of the trio, will not say word. He neither denies nor admits krowl. edge of the matter. The three negroes were committed to the Jonesboro iail.

HOT SPRINGS HARD LUCK STORY
Arrested While Trying to Pawn Pistol
 Gets Just Enough Money to Pay Fine.

Hot Springs, Aug. 7.-I w. Vaughan, visitor from Georgia, met with a curious experience when too free indulgence in "tanglefoot' entangled him with the police. Running short of funds he carried his pistol to a pawnshop. Fearful, if he car ried it in his pocket, he would be arrested for "pistol-toting," he held it in his hand and wrapped in a newspaper. The pawnorok- CT told him he could not take the gu. until it was unloaded, and when he attempted to empty the cylinder several of the cartridges stuck. Stepping cut into the street in the rear of the store he was trying to dislodge them with a spike when an officer arrested him on a charge of carrying con- cealed weapons.
 Vaughn had previously wired home for $50, which arrived just in time 10 pay the exact amount of the fine assessed against hun in police court.

WORKING FOR A LIVING.
Senator H. Nj. Patterson Discusses
 Crop Diversification.

~'~" ANshSA S~h 6tSSaoStN
 Crop Diversification.
 From the Gazette.
 "lt the farmers of Arkansas would work for a living rather than to make money, all would be better satisfied in the long run," says Senator Marshall H. Patter- son of Woodruff county. "What l mean by this is that the Arkan- san should seek rather to make his farm raise all he needs iu the way of food tor man or beast than to try to raise one crop and buy all his feed, clothing etc., from the stores. In Woodruff county this year, many of the farmers have tried the plan of raising everything needed for the table, both summer and winter. and I'll tell you from actual ex. perience, it is proving a success.
 'sI have tried 1t myself, not for the market, but for home con. sumption, and I have lived better this year than expected. A small patch in vegetables, straw berries, raspberries and such small stuff will prove a blessing to the farmer both in summer and win, ter, for the wife can put up much of the fruit, and no one knows how much small patch yields un- til he tries it.
 "We have gone into the truck gardening business in our own county, and very little of the prod uct has been shipped out of the county, but those farmers who are trying the experiment will probably broaden out next year. There are still those who depend upon cotton for the crop, and oui crop promises to be very fair this year, but the fellow who has laid by a winter store from his own garden patch and lived well through the summer on what his own land produces will be the fellow who will feel secure and safe next winter.'

PAY FOR ONLY
 ONE GOVERNOR
State Auditor Moore Announces That After Next Month Pindall and Lit tie Both Cannot Draw Salary
 From State Treasury.

Little Rock. Aug. 7.-State Auditor Avery E. Moore stated that after this month only one governor could be paid a salary out of the state treasury.
 Since May 31 Acting Governor K. o. Pindall has been receiving monthly salary at the rate of S3,000 year. This salary came out of the contingent iuud of the governor, the legislature at it's recent session having increased this fund from S2,O0O to S5,O0O with the provision that the S1, ,O0O should be paid the acting gover- nor, or so much thereof as he was entitled to for the time he discharged the duties of the exc cutive office, not contempla ting that Gov, Little would remain away from the capitol longer than three or four months.
 The legislature also passed special act to provide that the governor should be paid his salary during his illness, but by some oversight failed to make an appropriation for the purpose.
 Since appropriations have been made for every dollar in the treasury and all that may be de- posited there until the next meet ing of the general assembly, there is no land out of which an additional governors salary may be paid.
 Up to date Acting Governor Pindall has received from the state treasury SS63 %, out of the Sl, 900 for the payment of the acting governors salary, leaving balance in the treasury to the amount of the appropria- ton of $l36 CA.
 When the next months salary of the governor is due Acting Governor Pindall may draw the full amount to which the chief executive is entitled, which is $250. Of this amount the bal lance of the contingent fund. $l36 04, and SlI3.96 of the regu- lar appropriation for the salary of governor will be paid to him, while Gov. Little will receive only S136.0 04, the remaining DOT ton of the governors salary. the regular appropriation. Should Acting Governor Pindall demand the salary of the office in October the state auditor will honor his warrant, but nothing will be paid to Governor Little. Should Act ing Governor Pindall make no demand for the salary ii will be paid to Gov. Little.
