State Penitentiary "Prosperina."

0kdtC 'SSPSf
 Within the past year the price of Arkansas convict labor has increased 300 per cent. For years the conyicts had been leased to the Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing company at 50 cents per day. After the contract with the brick company had e&pil ed portion of the conyicts were hired at $1 per day, and later at $1.10, and then at $1.50 and $1.4O.
 Commissioner Tucieri estimates that, at the present price secured by the board, the net profit to the state annually from he labor of he con --'o+s would amount to s93,000. Add twr--
 ing $lOO,Vvv receipts from the sars of cotton produced upon the state farm, would make the net profit S193,000. These figures are based upon the receipts of the labor of 300 convicts at $1.50, which wou d amount to $225,000, from which. de- ducting $32,000, the expense of nam aiming the penitentiary, would give the net profit of 3,0O0. When MT. f.a.eigh was awarded the contract at the recent meeting of the board he stated that, if his contract should be dhowed 10 stand, he might be able to pay the board $f.50 per convict ,ne year round, provided he should be permitted to use all the surplus oonvicts. The contract provides that t may be rescinded after thirty days notice.

Reward for Indictment Thief.

Harrison.-The reward of $500 of fered by Sheriff Reef for the arrest of the persons who entered the vault in the office of the Boone county cir cult c.erk and stole the indictments and destroyed the court records tor two years is apparently going to bring the desired results, as several strong clues are being followed up which are expected 10 cause the ar rest of the guilty persons. The vault was opened at night and the indicc- ments taken from a drawer and the records cut from book on shelf, indicating that the persons who com mitted the offense were very familiar with the office. All papers pertain ing to cases pending were not mo- tested, and these vii. enable the court officials to replace the records in many of the cases.

NEGRO SHOT BY
 WHITE FOREMAN
PLANTATION ROW ENDS WITH FUSILADE OF SHOTS IN WHICH BOTH PARTICIPATE.
KILLING IS HELD JUSTIFlABLE
Physician Who Had Been Called to Dress Minor Wounds Tried to Pre- vent Further Troub e-Man Slain Was Shot in Former Altercation With Negro.

Toltec.-James Williams, negro, Jones, white foreman, on the J. k. Alexander pIantation, about seven mi es from this place. Deputy Co., O. ner McNeil of Liltle Rock conducted an inquest, at which it was held by the coroner's jury that the killing was justihable.
 According 10 the story of the shoot ing the foreman ana negro F. argument of some ""u V" to,, Klnd on the plan ---..uu, and as the result Williams struck Jones with brick and Jones Int Williams with lamp. 1t is a.so alleged that the negro struck Jones with his fist
 The negro, who was employed on the plantation, then left for his nome and secured gun. He started to return to the scene of the trouble when an attempt was made to in duce him to return home without continuing the affair. According tC the story, however, the negro went on back with his gun to where Jones was having his injuries dressed by Dr. Short, who had been summoned.
 Seeing the negro, Dr. Short stepped out between the two men. He warn ed the negro not 10 start anything.
 The two witnesses, Dr. short and ne. TO, testified at the inquest that Williams shot at Jones with s4tot- gun and that Jones fired immediate ly afterward. He fired three shots. But one shot took effect. It entei ed the negro's body about two inches above the hip on the eft side. The negro died within a few minutes.
 Deputy Coroner McNeil stated that the negro fell forward and when found the first finger of his right hand was pressed against the trigger and that the gun contained an emp ty shell.
 Jones was recently shot in the leg by negro on the plantation, whom he is a-so alleged to have shot.

ROAD WORK PROGRESSING.
County Judge Asher Gives Views or
 Highway Construction.

Little hock-County Judge Ashel has returned from his trip north ant east, after having spent a part o the time at Cleve and, O., attending the national good roads convention. AS a summary, Judge Asher says he finds that the road builders in Ar kansas are not behind the times and that road building depends, in the various parts of the country, on the kind of construction rock and the amount of money available. The sys- tenn of road building, he says, varies with the conditions encountered, but the same general plan is followed throughout the country.
 Judge Asher says he found that in many cities the asphalt pavements are not holding out well and that they have to be patched frequently. The practice of laying asphalt over granite pavement is proving fai ure in some cities, as the base seems to be too hard In time, he says, the asphalt top slips away from the gran ite base and peels off He says that gro~i'
 -uite block pavements are holding their own and that creosote blocks are growing in favor. Brick pave ments in cities of the far north are on the decline, the judge says, for the reason that the severe winters injure the pavement. In some cases frost gets under the p"vements and ,he contraction sometimes ruins a street for several blocks.
 Referring again 10 New York, Judge Asher Says that the average cost of a state road per mile is $9,500. Part of the cost is due to the fact that the general scheme is to bui a road that shall not have more than per cent grade any where.
 Il found one thing said Judge Asher, and that is that the grea, progress made in road building in the east is due to the farmers. The farmers are the ones hat made the demands, and the tanners are respon- sible for the good roads, It is my opinion that the Farmers Unioa could not take up a greater work for Arkansas"

Did Not Retaliate.

Despite the fact that the governor of Ok ahoma has repeatedly refused to honor acquisitions made upon him by the governor of Arkansas, partlc- ularly within the past two months, Governor Donaghey declined to p ay a similar game when he granted requisition from Governor Haskell for the return of two men to Oklahoma, charged by information with ylolat- ing the Oklahoma liquor laws. The men are Frank Jernigan and G. B.. Garter, and George B. Noble is the officer named to take custody of the men.
 When Governor Haskell declined some time ago to honor requisition for Dick Beatte of Woodward, want ed in this state in connection with the prosecution against the Mabray gang, there was strong disposition to have similar treatment given re- uuisitions from the Oklahoma chief executive However, this has not been resorted to as yet.
