Mineral Deposits EounG.

E. C. Root of Hot Spring county,
was in Little Rock Tuesday, confG'-
ring with State Geoiogist Whitlock
concerning samples of graphite ore
which he found on his farm and which
was pronounced to be of high grade.
Mr.. Root is now attempting to find
someone who will help him develop
the veins of graphite, which he is sure
cover a part ,and possibly the whole
of his entire farm. Mr.. Root states that
he did not go very far in attempting
to ascertain the exact extent of the
graphite vein on his farm, but said
that he had probed his land, which
lies near the northern boundry of
the county, at three different places,
about 200 yards apart, and had found
the vein of graphite at each place. He
states that he dug down in the VEN
about one foot and half at each
place, and in neither case did he sue
coed in reaching the bottom of the
vein. Graphite is a valuable mineral
1t is used, in the refined state, for
lead pencils and for various otter
purposes.

First Hanging in Calhoun County.
Rafe Wood, negro, aged 20 years,
was executed in Hampton Tuesday at
l D. M The crime for which he was
legally hanged was the committing Of
an assault on Mrs Fannie Doris, a

The crime was committed on the night
of December "a last.
Wood was given a speedy trial, was
convicted and sentenced on January
25, and Tuesday, just a month later,
the sentence was carried out. Wood
confessed while on the gallows that
he had committed the same offense
once before on a member of his own
race. He then stated he would like
to talk more, but could not.
After the black cap was placed over
his face, he asked that it be removed
for minute. His request was COM
piled with, and he asked the sheriff to
take his body home for burial. The
sheriff replied that he would not tell
him any lie about it, that his family
did not want him brought home, and
that he would be buried in the nearest
negro cemetery.
Wood said goodbye" and the trap
was then sprung. He was pronounced
dead in 16 minutes.

$1,132,654 Worth of Apples.

The statistics for the fruit ship
ments for 1907 has just been complet-
ed by Judge |. B. Lawton of Benton
vile, and certainly makes a fine SHOW
ing for Benton county. In gathering
these statistics from all over the coun-
ty, Judge Lawton had some help, but
it was a great undertaking, and fruit
growers will be greatly benefited by
it. The figures demonstrate that Ben
ton county is one of the greatest fruit
counties in the world.
There were ,163 carloads of apples
shipped out, and 2S3 cars put in cold
store, and it is estimated these brought
S630,96O. The evaporated apples
brought $359,100; cider apples, $751;
ia; distillery, $4,000; apples at can
ming factories, $4,000; dried apple
waste, $4G,0S0, or a total of $1,132, 654
for the apple crop.
With more than $1,000,000 paid to
the growers for apples alone, CONNER
cial orchard growing is becoming quite
big and profitable enterprise. 1t
must be remembered, too, that the ap-
pie crop in this county last year was
only a partial crop, being on an aver
age of about 40 per cent of full crop.
The price was most excellent, the best
for many years, aud this largely made
up the deficiency in quantity.
The figures also show 1,525,915 bush
els of apples reported, and if all sales
were reported it is believed the ag-
gregate would easily reach one and
three-fourths million bushels.
There were 1853 cars of peaches sent
out, 105 carloads of strawberries, 49,
sos crates of blackberries, and 6,S41
crates of raspberries produced. All Of
these Judge Lawton estimates sold for
100000. The berry crop was light
and the peach crop was lighter, only a
small percentage of the trees bearing
The total amount according to these
figures paid to the growers for the
fruit crop of 1907 was $1,731 ,654

We confess our inability to give

the element of doubt as to whether
they are wise or foolish, is still in the
