from the Asiatic Station, prepared a
book of this type.
It was neatly bound, free from typo

with photographs and drawings. AS a

tice was published by the Executive
Officer stating that the First Division
had been ordered home, and giving the
probable date of departure, that the
previous announcement was accepted
as without doubt. Then there were
smiling faces and happy voices; plans
for outings in ports which might have

and woe betide the subscriber who
fails to pay his share of the costs or
publication. His record is hunted up
by the members of the staff and pub
lished in full in some conspicuous place
in the next issue, and not infrequently
the cartoonist is turned loose on tho
victim.
The spirit of rivalry that is shown
on shore among publishers is mani
tested by the editors of the navy
papers, who manage by some stroke or
enterprise to secure a beat over the
men of another ships publication.
Sometimes the SCOOP consists in
the publication of list of target aver
ages in advance of the papers on the
other vessels, and the bluejacket re-
porters who fall down on such assign
ments never hear the last of it.
No little attention is paid to society
news, and receptions on board or
dances are always productive of ma
terial for the ships paper. One bit or
social news taken from the columns OF
the 'Ditty Box" is as follows:
Congressman Longworth and his
| charming wife, better known to us as
plain Alice Roosevelt, paid us visit
| soon after we arrived. She IS very
popular in Hawaii, and even the work
! ing men on the street take off their
! hats to say 'Goodby, Alice. -

voted to the interests of the enlisted
men thrive on shore. Most Of these
/ books have correspondents on the dlt-
ferent ships who can be depended upon
to send in letters containing all the
features of life aboard the war craft.
| OF these the "Bluejacket,' "Our
| Navy "The Army and Navy and
"sThe Navy are the best known.
With his own newspaper published
on board and all up-to-date facilities
for obtaining the biggest news in the
country for the columns of the same,
the Yankee bluejacket, whether at
home or abroad, is able to keep well
in touch with current events.

NO NEGROES IN
FARMERS UNION.
mississippi Will Bar Them.
If Organized 1t Must Be
AS Entirely Distinct Body.

Jackson, Miss, April II. THAT
some of the members of the Far
mers Union are opposed ito in
Guiding negroes as affiliated
members is indicaeed by the ac-
ton of the executive committee
last night, which was outlined IN
the following statement:
Seeing so much in the papers
recently concerning the position
of our Union on the subject of
organizing the negroes in Miss
issippi, we deem it advisable to
state our position.
1.-The white union in the state
has not and will not ..have any
thing to do with the effort to or
ganize the negro. We are OPP
posed to the white union, or
members of the same, having
anything to do with the organ
izution of the negroes. Any
officer of this organization taking
part in the organization of the
negroes, will be expected to re-
sign and withdraw from the un-
ion.
IF the negroes see fit to or
ganize, with organizers of their
own race, an entirely distinct
body, we shall not attempt to in
terfere, nor will we have any
thing to do with the matter. "
The position, as outlined by
the executive committee, while
it will appeal to the majority,
and would be sustained by the
locals, has naturally some oppo-
sition, as there are those who
believe that the organization of
the negroes would be a step in
the right direction, and would
certainly have more of beneficial
than harmful results, but they
seem to be in minority.

From Snodgrass Ark. Ed. of the
Nevada Co. Picayune: On account of
being busy with the mule l did not re-
port last week, on account of the pan
ic moved out of Prescott to cut ex-
penses until it is over. These panics
never last over years, and if the peo-
pie will attend to their own legitimate
and keep their bowels regular they
will live over this panic---that beats
drug bill. Up to this the farmers
never in the ANIMALS of the history of
Arkansas had such prospect for a
corn crop. Ivan Hawkins an ardent
reader of The Picayune has 20 acres of
corn already plowed out and more to
plow He has plenty of corn knee high.
Our venerable rural man J. Burns whom
all on this routes like and whose breast
hangs as far over the saddle horn as
any body will testify that am not eX-
agerating. Mr. Editor when the gang
of adverity struck, | did not know what
else to do, and my opinions is before
this panic is over there will be several
other sassafras digers, will leave
Prescott, and do something they was
not looking for never expect to stop

BEN HATlEY SHOOTS
KIRK CUMMINS
The Outcome of an AleT Cd
ton eween the Town
Saturday Nigh

This morning, about $50 o'c .ock
City Collector Kirk Cummins
was shot in the back as he was
crossing West Main street, be-
tween the Prescott Supply store
and the Nevada County Bank.
Ben Hatley was shortly after
ward arrested by city marshal
Marsh, and taken to the county
Jail.
1t seems that the shooting is
the outcome of an alteration had
Saturday night between Hatley
and Cummins, which came up
over Cummins attempt to arrest
Hatley for being drunk and dis
orderly.
From the best we can learn
Hatley was drunk Saturday night
and when Cummins attempted to
take him home, he became abus-
i've and Cummins struck him over
the eye with his pistol, inflicting
a rather painful wound.
When Hatley was on his way
to the jail he was heard to say
that he did not intend to kill him,
but that he wanted to give him a
little of what he had received.
After Cummins was shot he was
taken into the Nevada County
Bank building until Drs. Hester
ly and Rice arrived and made an
examination, and was then taken
to his home. His wounds are not
necessarily fatal. The weapon
used was a shot gun, and shot
were small. Both participants are
prominent in affairs of the town
and the whole matter is regret
ted by all.
