In the Circuit Court, last week. a
a great many criminal cases were
disposed of. Most of them, how.
ever, were misdemeanors. The
only felony case tried by jury,
was that of the State against Eliza
beth Bats, a negro woman, charged
with the killing of her husband.
The jury found her guilty of in
voluntary granddaughter and fixed
her punishment at three months in
in the penitentriay. Sam Bats, the
the husband, was killed bv Eliza
beth, down on the Bayou Barthol-
new, near Tillar, in 1906. The de-
Tense was Justification, and proof
tended to show that Sam was COM
ing at his wife with an iron poker
when she shot him. The jury was
out for several hours befor arriv-
at a verdict. Col. r. c. Craig, of
Hamburg. and ]. c.. Knox, Esq,
represented the defendant and Hon

II such lawless and violent tao
ties shall become as common
and as successful in intimidating
cotton farmers and destroying
their property as in the tobacco
region, and if such crimes and
the numerous murders perpe-
trated by the tobacco outlaws
in Kentucky and Tennessee shall
grow to be the rule in the cot
ton states, then the South will
truly be hell of violence and
crime committed by the alleged
best classes OF the population.
In the tobacco> regions of the
States mentioned murder and
incenderism have become fright
fully common, but because they
are supposed to be committed
by or in the interest of promi-
nent parties who are determined
to control the staple crops and
dominate the markets, nobody
can be arrested, much less pun
iShed.
II that sort Of business is be-
ing commenced in the cotton
districts, and is not promptly
and Sternlv checked by the pub
lie authorities and the law of
fcers, its hackers and abettors
will take advantage of the
weakness or the cowardice OF
the ministers of law, and the
evils will spread through the
country. 1t is at the very begin
ming that this sort of lawless-
ness is to be brought up with a
round turn. When once it gets
in full sway the entire country
will be enslaved BY it."-New

Since the reports were put IN
circulation which were the fOun-
dalton for the above article, it is
announced that they were much
exaggerated, and that the night
riders were some thoughtless
BOYS, more bent on fun than
anything else. But, be that as
it may, the circumstance, which
has been heralded to the world
has done our State an incalcua-
BILE injury. 1t has branded our
people as outlaws before the
world Immigration will most
likely be retarded, as few people
care to move into a new coun-
try where la wlessness is tolera-
ted. We are glad to learn that
the report of the Arkansas
night riders was over-dra wn,
and that no effort was being
made to interfere with the law

Penalty of Disunion.

The Democrats of some sections
of the State have been given
taste of the penalties of disunion.
In Garland and Boone Counties,
il not elsewhere, fractional diff
ferences have split the party and
permitted the opposition to select
their men.
1t should be severe lesson to the
party workers that in disunion
there is weakness, and will sooner
or latter defeat.
What has been done in a county
or a district may be done in the
state. 1t is not probable, but pos
sible. Whether the cause of the
strife be real or fancied, whether il
be due to an ancient controversy a;
has been wagcd in Garland, or to &
personal grievence as was the cast
in Boone, or a combination of cir
cumstances as prevailed in thu
Sebastian.Scott senatorial district
the result is the same.
Democrats of this State mus
learn that there is something ir
politics besides personal aggrand,z
ment, and that the party will never
realize the fullness of its power un
til self is overcome and factions are
wiped out of existence.
Let this sentiment of disorganiz;
ton spread and the result will som
time, when least expected, prov
disastrous.-Little Rock Democrat

A Qenartnre.

Mrs Matte NJ. Wooten, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. H Adcock, was
born December 30, 1874. Mr.. Ad-
cock was born and reared in this
county and has long been known
as thrifty farmer and good citi.
zen of the Green Hill community.
Here with the aid of a good wife,
he reared the departed loved one.
Mrs. Wooten received her :earl y
education at the Green Hill school
and later became a student of Hine-
mon University School at Month
cello.
She accepted Christ during her
18th year and united with the
Methodist church at Green Hill
She was true to her church and
God until the end. When the last
threads of life were slowly break
ing she called her loved ones to the
bedside to bid them good bye and
asked that they meet her in the land
of Rest. Sad, yet sweet to depart
with such hopes of a glad reunion.
For Il long years she gave her
time and talent to the youth of
Drew county as teacher. Noble,
indeed. to spend ones time in lead
ing the minds of the young in the
ways of knowledge!
She was married to Henry r.
Wooten, March the II, 1897, who
by his love and kindness divided
her sorrows and shared her joys
giving her every attention during
her last illness. After 9 long weeks
of suffering, on the 2Ist of August
she passed quietly to the great be.
You'd: leaving husband, one little
girl, a father, mother, two brothers,
two sisters and host of relatives
and friends to mourn her death.
We would say to the sorrowing
friends in the words of the poet:
4ct must we part, aud, parting
weep;
What else hath earth for US in
store:
These farewell pangs, how sharp
how deep.
The farewell words, hew sad
and sore.
Yet we shall meet again ia peace,
To sing the songs Of festal Joy,
Where none shall bid our glad.
ness cease.
Aud none our fellowship destroy.
