 You have not only stood by this cause, but there nave been times when if it had not been for hte heroic work , of some of you, the cause throughout the state would have suffered.

 PAY ND TAXES Such Is the Declaration of Nathan Jacobs and His Farm and Mules Are Sold at Public Auction
THE LORDS ADVICE GOES TO TROY ALA
Nathan Jenkins. We'll to Do Negro. Visits Sheriif's Office With Bible Under His Arm-Mule Is Sold for $S3-Tax Amounts to Only s4S.27.

Declaring that the Good Lord" ad vised him not to pay the county any : taxes on his personal and real pro- perty, Nathan Jacobs, a negro farmer who lives on the Warren road five miles south of Pine Bluff, Saturday turned over his last mule to the tax collector and this morning the ami nal was sold at public auction in front of the Jefferson county court house for $S5. M. M. Bruce was tn, purchaser. /
 The mule was seized by Perry Walker, deputy tax collector,~Satur- day to satisfy delinquent persona! tax of $4S.72 which Jacobs owed the county as back taxes for several years including the feed of the animal since it had been in the hands of the sheriff.
 Jacobs went to the office of Sheriff Philpot several days ago with a Bible under his arm and told MT. Philpot that the Good Lord' had instructed him to refuse to pay taxes on anything he owned, that this was the Lord s land" and that His people should not be taxed for their belongings. He pro- ceeded to preach the Gospel, but was hushed up and told that the county would have to satisfy it's debt by seiz- ing the mule. His farm place was sold several weeks ago at the delinquent tax sale, which was conducted by repeatedly told the tax collector that he was acting under the instruction of the Lord and would not pay his taxes.
 This morning when he realized that his mule was about to be given to the highest bidder, Jacobs went to Attor- ney Alex Powell and sought legal as- sitance. He was advised by the at- torney to pay his back taxes and the penalties to the sheriff and his mule would be returned. Jacobs still re- fused saying that he was following the Lords advice in refusing to pay taxes. The difference of $36.28, the proceeds of the sale over the total amount due the county, awaits Ja- cobs at the sheriff's office, but it is understood that he is determined not to accept any money that is derived from tax sale, saying it was con ducted against the Lords wishes. He has not as yet called for the money Jacobs is said to be we'll fixed, has money in the bank and other property but he says if the tax on his personal property was only cents, he would still refuse to pay it.

BOLD ATTEMPT
 AT ROBBERY Well Dressed White Man Attempted to Prize Open Cash Drawer at the Hub This Morning
DISCOVERED ESCAPED
Clerks Chased Him Over Back Fence Police Searching For Him. That's Au-BOught Hatchet Short Time Before.

One of the boidest attempts at rob. bery that has taken place in this city for many months occurred this morning at 9:30 o'clock when an un- known white man tried to break open the cash drawer at the Hub Clothing company's place on Main street. He was chased out of the store. by the clerks, instead of being held, and the police have nothing to guide them in their search for the would-be robber.
 He entered the place from the rear of the store, and quietly walked to the cash register. Using a new hatchet which he had brought with him, he tried to prize open the drawer. The employees in the store saw him imme- diately, in fact he was within few feet of two or three of them when he started his daring job. They ran him out in the excitement, instead of hold ing him for the police. The man 54n, out the back of the store, climbed
 efN the back fence, and disappear
 more mysteriously than he came.
 When entering he closed the gate of the high fence back of the store, and 1ashis pursuers were near when he Ns leaving, he threw down the heschet and climbed the fence in a htrry. He quickly distanced all pur- suers and was out of sight in the twinkling of an eye.
 The police authorities were imme diately notified, and a policeman was sent to the scene in haste. Constable Stewart has been notifiN and he will watch all the outgoing trains for the man.
 The whole thing happened in SD few seconds that complete descrip tion of the man was not secured. He was we'll dressed, good looking and wears blue serge trousers and a white shirt. It is thought that he is a strang- CT in the city as none of the employe of the Hub knew him.
 The hatchet was taken by the polio ? authorities and it was found out that it had been purchased about 15 min utes before by half-grown negro boy at the R. s. Thompson hardware store. He applied to Doctor R. c. ~ Thompson for a job early this morn ing.x The hatchet was the only one of the kind that was on hand in that hardware store, and as that brand is -Only sold there the purchase of the hatchet was easily traced.
 This bold attempt at robbery ere ated no little excitement and large crowd gathered in few minutes.
