SHERIFF. KAVANAU0H y
GETS STRANGE APPEAL


AUGUSTA WOMAN WRITES OF HER
TROUBLES To "THE HIGH
SHERIFF In CARE OF THE Po-
LICEMAN."
Following is an article which APP
peared in today's Gazette. The
widow lady resides at Augusta and
seems to have not received justice
at the hands of Woodruff County's
Circuit Court which was in session
last week.
His equanimity Jared by a
plaintive appeal from widow wo-
man, who wants grim justice
melted out to a man who has been
killing her hogs, Sheriff 9. G.
Kavanaugh is left in a quandary.
If the crime had been committed
in Pulaski county things would be
different. But as the scene is laid
in Augusta, he is totally at sea as
to how to act in the matter, unless
he could be elected to the bench in
that jurisdiction and then go after
the hog killer.
The appeal came by mail. 1t is
addressed to "The High Sheriff in
care of the Policeman" Little
Rock. Its contents follow:
compliments from Rachel
Moody to the high sheriff in Little
Rock. I have Indictment to put
before you all. I have put it be-
fore the Grand Jurews of Augusta
and didn't get justice and I will
state the case before you ALL
came down to my house on the
eighth Of this month and shot won
of my hogs, and he came back on
the thirteenth of this month and
shot a nuther won. And as I was
trying to tell him what was best
for him to do, why he hit me with
his gun and broke the gun and
loaded it and drawed it in my face
and told me he would kill me if
just said nuther word. And he
DARED me to move another step.
Do the law allow any man to come
to widow house and do anything
like that7 And if it do not, why
I want you to do something. I am
looking to hear from you all at
once"

IN THE OLDEN DAYS.

An old lady in New York, cele-
brating the fiftieth anniversary of
her wedding, grew reminiscent. 1t
was 40 years ago, she said, since she
had Aer first clothes wringer, and
fiuting machines came in about the
same time. People then had one
daguerreotype taken and put in a
frame. There we're no egg heaters,
no carpet sweepers, no faucets, no
sewing machines, no street cars, cleo
trio lights and numerous other
things so common. The kitchen was
full of tinware, and Notwithstanding
the fact that water had to be carried,
it must all be kept secured. But
one good thing of those old days,
''hired girls" were only paid five dol
lars, or at most seven dollars per
month.

ACTOR AND DENTIST,

"There is one of the smartest men
l know" said he as he exchanged
smiles with an artistic man whose
iron-gray hair matched to a nicely
that showed careful selecting the
color of his clothing. He has the
sense to carry on two distinct call
ings, one for the winter, the other
for the summer time. In the win
ter he is an actor, distinguished
actor, too, he is with Hackett, and
in the summer he goes back to his
old calling of dentistry. He has one
of the finest practices, too, in New
York, but it seems it cannot lure
him from the fascination of the
stage"

Bean Culture,

The raising of white beans is q great
industry In many sections and it is
profitable, because the output is as
much a staple as wheat OF corn. Like
these crops 1t is a food stun which
has keeping quality.
The bean growing industry has
gravitated to the poorer lands, so that
but little of 1t is found in the corn
belt. And yet there are places in the
corn belt, and many Of them, where
beans might be grown to advantage.
Sandy knobs or worn out fields which
will only make twenty bushels of corn
per acre Will return a greater cash
product IL planted to beans.
Bean culture was once considered
very laborious. but it is not neces-
sarily SO now. BY the use Of modern
machinery it is made easy. They may
be planted with two-horse corn plant
er, cultivated with riding plows and
weeders, pulled when ripe, thrashed
and even sorted by machinery.
To make the most Of the space the
hills mays be only six inches apart,
but the rows should be wide enough to
permit horse culture. When planted
in this way and carefully cultivated IL
the ground is free from weeds the
crop may be carried through by horse
power. But II the soil Is foul one hand
hoeing will be needed. The crop is
loaded from the puller into hay racks,
and hauled to the barn. Spread upon
the barn floor or loft, it will be ready
for thrashing after two weeks of dry
weather. Before marketing sorting Is
absolutely necessary.
The old plan was to get the family
together In the evening about the
kitchen table and each by handfuls
picked out the bad specimens. But
the modern bean sorter is a small ma
chine and cheap, which you may take
into any room. The motion Is controll-
ed by a treadle and a slowly moving
canvas carrier brings the beans to
your hand as fast as you can look
them over, one spry man doing the
work Of five by the old system.

The Cotton Boil WeeviI.

Encouraging results are announced
by the Bureau of Entomology from it's
recent careful examination to deter
mine the present status Of the boil
weevil. The bureau examined some
40 localities in the states of Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Oklahoma, all infected by the cotton
boil weevil. In each locality from
two to five representative fields were
selected, and in each one Of these
fields groups of plants were examined.
Estimating the number of plants to
the acre, it was easy then to compute
the number of weevils to the acre.
This plan has been followed for sew
eral years, so that the comparisons
can now be made with conditions ex-
listing in previous years. The number
Of weevils is shown to be much small
er at this time throughout the infected
due primarily to the unfavorable
weather last fall, especially the very
early first killing frost. In Eastern
Texas no weevils were found, whereas
last year there were 226 per acre. In
southern Texas the weevils stand 256
now. as against 308 last year; in west
ern Texas, II against 101. In Louis
lana TIA Of the insects were found as
against against 485 last lear. In Ok
lahoma no weevils were found. The
figures are for comparison only and
will not, of course, stand for the en-
tire season, as the insects may not
have emerged from Information in
such numbers as to have been detect

reasonably early maturity with form

after all, is the one that Is most profit

5 IS ON THE
WATER WAGON,


WATER WAGON.
Tells BIG CROWD AT DANvILLE
THAT He HAS Nor TOUCHED
WH1sKEY SINCE MARCH, AND

Danville, Aug. 24.-Before a
crowd estimated at l 900 persons
United States Senator jeff Davis
today declared that he was on the
"water wagon" and that he never
intended to take another drink of
intoxicating liquors. He prefaced
this statement by the declaration
that he had not touched a drop of
whiskey since March.
His speech was of an unusual
nature, being devoid of his charac-
teristic indulgence in personalities.
The cheering was deafening
when a large picture of Bryan was
hung in the rear of the speaker on
the stand in the courthouse.
1t being the opening day of
court, a large crowd was in town
and the people packed the court
house to hear Senator Davis
speech. He paid tribute to Bryan
and the crowd cheered Justify at
the mention of the name.
Davis pledged his support to
Donaghey and said that Democrats
of his kind always supported the
nominee.
A poor man that would vote the
Republican ticket, he said ought to
be bored for the simples. He adj
vised the Farmers Union to stay
out of politics.
