Consequently. Hon. E J NlthamS. or Forrest City. was in- duted To aid Ill the prosecution. We understand other counsel was spoken to Ill regard to rendering the same serNlce, but declined to do so. Throupb the courtesy of the prosecuting at- torney, Mir. Williams was allowed to close the argument in he case, which De dld Ill one of the most powerful and convincing speeches ever heard by Jury.

PROF. JACKSON FOR TREASURER

In the announcement column of this
 paper may be found the card of Prof. Geo. L Jackson, presenting himself
 before the people as candidate for county treasurer. Everybody in the county knows the professor, and many voters have felt the weight of his switch in his endeayor to train their young ideas and will be pleased to know that lie asks something which they can aid him in securing. The professor is an old Confederate soldier and his legless pants is mute wit ness that he was in the front ranks, and this alone should call his brothers in arms to his aid, not only to vote for him but to work for him. Prof Jackson has been a resident of this county thirty-one years. He was and raised his family here, and is fully identified with the best interests of the county. He is worthy and honest, and as bookkeeper and accountant he is first class. He is democrat of the old school, never held office, and would gladly appreciate this gift from the people.

We learn that Tom Jordan was offered Sl00 00 the other day for a bale of cotton in the seed, and he refused it. This is an extra fine long staple cotton, and the lint will bring fabu- lous price, and the seed are also very valuable This is the Kind Of farming that will put the greenbacks into the farmers pockets. \ farmer who de sires to raise cotton should first get seed of this kind. then he should cut his acreage down at east one-third, thoroughly cultivate the ground before planting, and fertiliZe il all that is necessary and then cultivate it so thoroughly that no fcujness can exist therein, and S400.00 worth Gf cotton and seed can be sold from one acre of ground. What is true of cotton is true of every other crop that can be grown. You want to ind out what the land lacks to produce the crop that you desire to raise, and put that on the land, get the best improved seed and cultivate thoroughly, and you will raise the most valuable pro- duets, besides producing two CT three times as much per acre. = Modern News

above ground, that we now enter it
by going down a long distance. The
walls Of this vast tomb are a con-
tinuous picture gallery. representing
in every possible way the greatness
and honor, the achievements and
enjoyments of Thi and his family.
His pictures appear again and again.
and give one quite definite idea of
his personal appearance, which is
further represented by his statue
in the Cairo museum. In many
places the paint put into these pict-
ures is still quite bright. The great
stone sarcophagus Of Thi is empty.
The most interesting thing at SAX
kara is the burial place of the sacred
bulls Of Egypt. This consists Of a
series Of halls and galleries cut into
the solid limestone. A single gallery
is 21O yards long, and on both sides
are halls containing sarcophagi.
Their average measurements are 10
by % by IL feet, and their weight
65 tons. They are of granite from
the upper Nile. There are about
two dozen of these sarcophagi still
in place. They are, of course, empty,
their huge lids having been pushed
off, and the mummies of the sacred
bulls taken out and the treasures
buried with them appropriated by
treasure hunters long ago. An

Serapeum stood over this wonder

the mud villages and vast groves of
date palms standing on the site of
ancient Memphis. and saw the CO.

Thursday, April 18th, we visited
old Cairo, and went thru the Cop

This community and church recall
the period before the Mohammedan
Arabs took possession of Egypt. All
but this corner Of old Cairo persisted
in those and succeeding wars. An
old Roman building was fixed up
for church purposes. and has been
so used for centuries. An old ira
dition makes this the resting place
Of the holy family when they fled
into Egypt. The custodians of the
old church hardly dissipated our
doubts by pointing out: the very

the case of Mexico the government admits them under treaty with Japan without hindrance. It is the belief that the assembling close to the IT.. IS. border which is now going on means nothing more or less than the willy Japs are hopeful of being able to slip across from time to time and land in the country from which they are barred and where they according naturally wish to go. That there is an understanding among them as to a well defined plan for getting over the line there can be little douE4 and they doubtless have for warding agencies to put them over and agents to take command of them to forwarding points.
 In several eastern and coast papers of Sunday morning of last week a lurid story was printed telling of al legged purpose of the Japanese gov ernment to mass 10000 soldiers in Sonora in preparation for war with the United States, with intent of throwing these men across the line with the opening of hostilities. The story further related plan to seize So- nora in much the same manner that the Japanese seized Korea at the opening of the war with Russia, and use the state as a base of operations. No Japanese have to this time been seen in this section with arms of any kind. They appear to be on an en- tirely peaceful mission and though they talk little assert that this is the case and that among their number are men of all professions who are simply looking for locations in which they can better their conditions.

RUBBER NECK WAGON

OYSTER BAY. July 25.-The rub Der neck wagon is still after Presi- dent Roosevelt Megaphone and all, it has followed him even to the wood ed fastness of Sagamore Hill The wagon started yesterday for the first time to make regular trips between Huntington and Oyster Bay. It stops at all the intermediate villages. cross roads and objects of interest, but tar ries longest in front of the Presi- dents farm
 The president was seated on his veranda this morning shortly after breakfast, when a voice fluated to him through the shrubbery.
 "On our right you see Sagamore Hill, the home of President Roose- welt, the greatest man in history" it said. Tt is here that the President turns farmer every summer and works with his hired men in the hay field To the right is the swimming hole he used to swim in when a boy. Right in front is his tennis court, where all his visitors must tackle him before they are allowed in the house. Over there is the stable"
 At this point the President was seen to jump from his chair and re, treat precipitately into the houss.

LAPS IN CANAKEA IN LARGE
 FORCES
One Company Arrived In Charge of An Officer of Jap Army SaIuted Him and Dis banded Near Depot,

During the last two weeks there has been rush of Japanese into Can anea, corresponding, according to the reports of Chihuahua and other news. papers in the northern part of the Re public, to experience being had by other cities of Mexico in touch with west coast ports.
 Over 100 Japanese have come into Cananea since last Monday as rail- road passengers, routed through the United States practically in bond from Fl PasO to Naco. These men are comfortably clothed and most of them give in their manner of deport- ment unmistakable evidences of hay ing seen service as soldiers, says the Cananea Herald. One company of about twenty men which came in on foot last Monday was unQuestionably in command of an officer, to whom marked respect was given at a halt ing place just below the depot, where. after saluting. they disbanded and struggled into town.
 Japanese arriving here are met by a cOuntrymen who seems advised of their coming and directs them to quarters where they are kept until they go to work. Due to scarcity of labor for surface work in the various camps within a radius of twenty miles of the city all the men who have so far appeared have readily found employment. They seem to desire it and are said by employers to give excellent service. Besides those who have come to Cananea many have found work and have stopped between here and Naco with railroad construction forces.
 Many of the Japanese now arriving have been in the Republic for six months or more and are deserters from mining camps in the interior where they were brought practically as contract laborers. [ these inte- Tior camps they for a time gave satis. faction but as soon as they got d lit. 1 tie money ahead commenced disap- 1 bearing from their work and in sev. 1 eral instances were caught in bodies at Nogales and other ports and taken | back to the mines to finish the terms of labor which they had agreed to before shipping across the Pacific al the expense of the employers. This was notably the case at Nogales Q | few months ago, when the manage ment of the Black Mountain Mining l Co. cOTTaled a number of Japs who | had reached the town on the Sonora side and required them to go back. The objective point to which these | escaping Japs and others who have concluded periods of work in the in terior appear to be heading for is the United States and the immigra ftion officers of that country have been obliged to exercise extreme watchfulness in the last few months to prevent them getting across.
