SMALL CRIME TO
 COMMIT MURDER
Lack of Punishment for One Cowardly Deed Leads to Another Cold Blood ed Crime Near Fay-
 etteville.

Fayetteville, Sept. l0.-John D. Holt was arrested in the noun. tains near Lincoln last night by Deputy Sheriff Shelby Todhunt- CT and lodged in jail at an early hour this morning, charged with the murder of John w. Murray near Lincoln, Sunday afternoon. He has confessed the crime in all it's cold.blooded details, but does not seem to realize what il means. He constantly refers 10 the fact that Charlie Buck killed man from ambush and was sent enced to five years in the peniten- tiary, and was pardoned after five months. Buck was sent up from this county and was pardoned a few months ago, and the consid- eration of the case evidently had much to dc with Holt's crime.
 Holt is g years of age and in. telligent. His father is a mer- chant at Lincoln, and has besides one of the best farms in the county.
 Two weeks ago Murray chaig- ed Holt with stealing watermel- ons and gave him to understand that if he did not quit it, he would whip him. This preyed on Holt's mind and threatened tc ruin the reputation he had estab- lished as bully, and he shot Murray from ambush in order to save his reputation, figuring that, according to Bucks case, he would get five or six mouths ir the penltentiary. This is the on. ly theory that has been advanced
 An interesting coincidence is that Murray's grandfather was shot from ambush and killed ir Ohio 40 year ago by man nam ed Holt.

Government Reports.

oosSth hihSbt iSp puts iOi 1ht n IT : sas on field and garden products form very interesting study and is a revelation to most of us in that 1t shows where the growers who have been making mistakes can change their methods to ad- vantage. The reports are based upon rent of land at $ per acre, heavy rent for this section, but at whatever less than S5 would increase the ratios of profit by the difference. It appears that oats are raised in Arkausas at a loss of v cents per acre and that wheat comes out about even Corn shows net gain of S3. 95 per acre and cotton $ll 80, and then 1t takes up garden products, and beans (string beans) and to- matoes come out in strong relief as against either oats, wheat, corn or cotton. String beans show a net gain of $27.50 per acre and tomatoes crown the gar den list at S49 per acre. String beans yield nearly two tons per acre and tomatoes over six tons, averaging with pumpkins six tons per acre. The highest uet profit is on all garden products and all based on rent of land at S5 per acre. The reports seem very cautiously worded and cautious in their figures and says "many double or more than double these net yields on their crops; but use the averages so that we can the more correctly make a true com parison of the relative crops ] grown. The farmers of Arkan. sas should profit by such show lngs and not raise too much cot ton at net $ll.S0 per acre, or too much corn at net $3.95, when string beans more than double the average cotton and nine times more than corn, while tomatoes are net more than four times the net of cotton aud more than ten times that of corn.
 Now, with an unlimited mar ket, such as canning and pre- serving plant would make, why should we grow more corn than Tor home consumption, or any cotton? Then there is another item which seems strange to the writer, for we are asked to turn our attention O rhubarb, and the report shows t twill yield and pay from S200 to $500 per acre and We know of some who realize over $500 per acre." Now, this being true for the state, no doubt rhnbarb could be raised here sue cessfully. and every farmer could have easily oue-fourth 10 one acre, and even to take the aver age as shown and cut 1t in two. one would have more net income than from most other crops, aud when we have a market for all our products, and give us only the government figures and S5 per acre land rent, we have step- ped into an era of prosperity that has not before come to this com munity. Our methods will be changed and our labor frightened.
 We all know what our lands will produce in berries and fruits, and when we get an unlimited market the average in fruits and berries will be more than ten times as greatas now and steady daily income can be had from the farm and garden from the first strawberries until the last pump kins are ready for the canning factory.

NOR NAL SCHOOL
 OPENS SEPT. q
Finishing Touches Are Now Being Put On the Handsome Building Which the town of Conway Gives
 to Arkansas.

Conway, Sept. 10 The open ing session of Arkansas first state normal school will begin September 2l. The workmen are now engaged in putting the fin- ishing touches on the handsome building which the people of Con- way have erected and will turn over to the state when the school opens. Arrangements are now being made for an elaborate pro- gram to be carried out on the morning of September 23 when the building will be formally de livered by the citizens of Conway to the representatives of the state.
 It has been reported in various parts of the state that the build ing would not be ready for occu- pancy by the time set for the op- ening of the session, but, judg- ing from the manner in which the work IS progressing, the indl- cations are that the building will be completed and ready for the students when they arrive.
 The state normal school is the result of years of effort on the part of leading educators of the state who have deprecated the fact that Arkansas had no insti- tuition devoted to the training of teachers. After years of unsuc- cessful effort the last leglsla- ture was induced to pass a bill creating board of trustees and practically authorizing the board to establish d state normal school if ii could find some one willing to put up the necessary money. The bill did carry an appropria- ton of $l5,000, but i. was recog- nized that this amount would barely pay the salaries of the teachers and the ordinary running expenses for one year. It was not sufficient to buy the ordinary equipment needed to start the school, to say nothing of the ac- quisition of site and erection of the necessary buildings.

 When the board of trustees ad- vertised for bids from cities desir- jag to secure the new school, Conway secured the plum by of fering cash donation of S51, 900 to be used in erecting the school building, together with a free
