Shot Nine Times.

Wm. Butsch, white man, who was beating his way to Memphis, on the local freight .train yesterday, arrived in town about o'clock, and hunted up an officer to whom he complained that he had been held up by negro on the train and robbed of between SIS and s2O. Night Marshal Moore and Milton Remley, whom he deputiz- ed, and several other parties follow ed Butsch, who led them up the cut to the car in which the robbery was fsaid to have been committed, and as they approached the car the negro poked a Winchester rife into W. A. Faces face and then turned it on Rem ley.
 Remley was too quick for him, how ever, and with unerring aim sent a bullet from his pistol into the negro's head, and he and Mashal Moore to- gether, put eight other holes into his anatomy.in less time than it takes to tell it.
 When Remley shot him he fell out of the car and Pace grabbed his Win chester, disarming him. and he was brought down town.
 He strenuOusly denied that he had taken the white man $ money, but the empty purse was found among some corn in the car, where he had evi- dently hidden it, and the negro had BY on his person.
 Dr. Longest attended him, and late yesterday evening lie was resting easy and the Doctor thought there was a chance for him to recover
 Public opinion is somewhat divided as to the guilt of the negro, but so far as we could glean the facts and cir cumstanceS seem to indicate that Butschs story was i'll the main straight and true.
 The fact that the negro had a Win chester, and that he came near shoot ing MT. Pace and MT. Remley, indi- cates to our mind that he was des- perate man, and it was probably well for them that they got in few tell ing shots before he was able to use his gun, as otherwise they and perhaps others would have been killed.

FOR COUNTY CLERK.

In the proper place in this paper may be seen the authorized announce- ment of Capt. T. c. Merwin as a can didate for reelection to the office of County aud Probate Clerk, which he now fills and has long filled so satisfac- torily and acceptably to the people. No public official in the State. SO far as we know, is more efficient, more painstaking, more energetic, more courteous and accommodating, or more industrious than Capt. T. C.. Merwin. He is always busy, but never too busy to be courteous and accom- modating to these who have business in his office. So far he has no oppo- nent, and probably will have none, 1t being generally conceded that no man could better serve the interests of the people in this capacity than be, and by common consent he is likely to have the field all to himself.
 His faithfulness to the trust reposed in him, his stirling integrity and sound democracy, all entitle him to the most and favorable considera- tion, and we commend him to the vo- ters of St. Francis county as being a most capable and deserving candidate, and bespeak for him your support at the polls.

There is money in cantaloupes At Brawley, California, last summer, twenty-three growers have shipped POO carloads, netting them from s cents to S2.50 per crate. The aggre- gate value of the shipments was Sl46,- 9lS and the shippers average a net profit of 8, 367.s2 each from this one crop for one season. There Is no req son why this record may not be equalled, if not exceeded, in Arkansas, says the Gazette. But it is not, and there has not even been enough to supply the local demand. If few neighborhood farmers would form a sort of an agreement to put in cer- tain number of acres, and all ship their product together, they could thus ship in carload lots, and reap big profits, just as the California growers have done. The trouble hereabouts is, that not enough are raised to get quantity freight rates, hence none at all are shipped, because the rate on small quantities makes the business unproftable. Cooperation in such matters is the solution of better times for the farmers, and it applies not only to cantaloupes, but to innumerable other farm products. such as water melons, peanuts, tomatoes, peas, onions, navy beans, etc. We would i like to see about dozen or a score of enterprising farmers try this plan next year on some one or more of | these commodities.

FOR CIRCUIT CLERK.

1t Is with considerable pleasure that we direct the attention of all demo- cratic readers of The Times to the authorized announcement of MT. NJ. w. Seaborn, as a candidate for Circuit Clerk of St. Francis County, which appears in the announcement column in this issue
 MT. Seaborn, better and more favor ably known as Walker Seaborn, was born and has been reared in this coun- ty. His parents having died when he was but a youth, he is practically a self-made man. He is now holding the responsible position of deputy under Circuit Clerk G. B. Mallory, whose failing health compels his absence from the office considerable portion of the time, and the whole conduct Of the business falls upon MT. Seaborn. He has mastered the situation and discharges the many duties in busi- ness-like and experienced manner.
 This is MT. Seaborn's first appear ance in the political arena, but he is quite well and favorably known to the voters of this county. He is young married man, of excellent habits, tho roughly reliable, capable, and of ster- ling integrity. He is born democrat, and if nominated will be elected, and will serve the people honestly, fear lessly, impartially and to the best of his ability. He solicits the support of every reader of this paper, and will appreciate any favor shown him. Ow- ing to the absence of MT Mallory, MT. Seaborn's present duties will keep him very closely confined to the office and he will not be able to get out and see as many of the voters as he would like 10 do, but where duty calls him there he may be found and the voters should all the more appreciate his conscientiouSneSS, and consider his claims whether he sees you or not. We bespeak for him your kindly consider ation of his claims, and believe If cleo ted he will fill the position capably, efficiently and satisfactorily. Consider | his qualifications.

FIVE EXITS.
Four Win dows on East Side of Opera House Made Into Exits and
 Balcony Exlended.

Realizing that should fire occur in the theater during performance there would be grave danger to life and limb Of the audience, with only one entrance and exit, Messrs. Becker X Lewis have, at large expense, had each of the four windows on the east side of the opera house made into exits, making five in all, and have ex- tended the landing or balcony the full length of the auditorium, thus mak- ing what has heretofore been consider ed veritable fire trap, perfectly safe and almost impossible of serious acci- dent. With these five exits the house can be emptied, we presume, in from three to five minutes, perhaps less, even though 1t was packed to its ut. most capacity, and no one need to re- main away from the opera house hereafter for fear of fire. Messrs. Becker X Lewis are to be commended for their enterprise in this regard, and the theater-going public is to be con- graduated in having all absolutely safe theater in which they may sit and enjoy performance with perfect assurance, and without uneasiness. The opera house with its fire exits Is now just that kind of place and should be literally patronized.

SEEK MORE ROOM.
Plans Formed at Helena For Big Ad-
 dition to the City.

Special to the Gazette:
 Helena, Sept. 2s.-A stock company was organized today with an autho- rized capital stock of s250, 900 for the purpose of building practically another town to be known as West Helena, and connected with Helena by an in- terurban electric line For this pur- pose an option has been secured by the company on 200 acres of land one mile and a half west of the city. which will be improved by the grad Ing of streets, putting down side walks and the erection of light, water and power plants, and the construc- ton of an adequate sewer system. At the preliminary meeting today s44 GOO of the capital stock was quickly sub scribed and a committee appointed for the purpose, will solicit further subscriptions beginning tomorrow.
 This movement was made necessary by the present lack Of accommoda- tions for those who come to Helena to make their home here, and the need of more houses for homeseekers Is be- coming more apparent every day.
 Exactly the same conditions that are enumerated in the last paragraph of the above news item exist in For rest City, and now if we could record the conditions mentioned in the other paragraphs, we would be pleased to enthusiasm. The Russell Addition and the Pettus & Williams Addition are helping, but neither are large enough. Other additions should be made, and something done toward putting houses on them to accommo- date those who want to come here to reside, but are prevented by the fact that there is not vacant house in town. Such an organization as the one mentioned in the dispatch re- printed above would do the business and then you could watch Forrest City grow.

FOR TREASURER.

MT. J. E. Terry, the present very efficient and painstaking Assessor of St. Francis county. has authorized The Times to announce his candidacy for the office of Treasurer of St. Fran cis county.
 Everybody knows Banner Terry. He has been the assessor for four years, and probably meets and knows more people-taxpayers and voters - than any other man in the county. He has made an excellent record as a public official in the assessors office, and now aspires to serve his constituents as their County Treasurer.
 Banner Terry is sober, reliable, painstaking, and man of sterling in tegrity. The funds of St. Francis county in his hands will be as safe as if locked in vaults of impenetrable steel. If elected he will fill the treas urer's office just as efficiently, capably and satisfactorily as he has the office of Assessor. He asks your support at the polls, and will appreciate any assis- tance or courtesies extended him. We commend him to the voters as gen. tleman worthy or their most distin- guished consideration, and they will make no mistake in giving him the nomination for Treasurer of St. Francis county. Consider his claims.

No More Chills.

Jewels are sometimes found among rubbish, and among the many so-ealied chill cures, Dr. Nott's Delta Chill Cure, is "a gem of purest ray serene. !, Dr. Nott used it for many years, and thought it to be the only true specific for chills, levers, rigors and other ma larial diseases. It is skillfully prepar- ed from choice test ( l material by the Hessig- Ellis Drug Company, of Mem phis, Tennessee. Accept no other, and beware of other so-called chill cures said to be "just as good" Drug gists sell it at 50c per bottle.
