ANOTHER TRIAL
Of Night Riders to Begin at
Union City Monday.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. 16.-lt is
probable that another night-rider
trial will begin Monday. An agree
ment was made between Attorney
General Caldwell and Pierce & Fry,
representing the defense. to take
the matter up then and, as con-
ference has been called between the
attorneys for the State to decide
who will be tried next, it is almost a
certainty one of the conspiracy cases
will be called on that day. An agree
ment has also been reached wherein
nine men indicted for other night
riding offenses than murder will be
released on bond. This leaves eigh-
teen under arrest who have been in
dicted for the murder Of Capt. Ran
kin who have not been tried.
There are yet "a night rider pris-
oners in the barracks to be tried,
some charged with murder and aid
ing in the murder Of Captain Ran
kin and others with assault and bat
terry and night riding in mask. They
are as follows: o. D. Elbridge, Jack
Carsackler, Ed Rogers, Rufe Roney,
Ed Rooney, S. A. Hicks, J.W. Under,
John Ratliff, John 0. Williams, Rufe
James, j. H. Carsackler, Frank

Fresh on the heels of this rumor
comes another that the Lyon county
members are determined to sell and
that if MIR. Ewing refuses to sign
the contract they will make a new
one and sell anyhow. 1t is also said
that Caldwell county is negotiating
for a similar sale, outside of Mr..
Ewing's negotiations.
One item Of information that
comes from apparently reliable
sources, is that that the Imperial
Tobacco Co. has already bought Is
hogsheads of 1000 pounds each of
the new crop, from local prizing
houses, at prices ranging from z to
10 cents and is ready to take accept

Storm Pit News.

Last nights register in the various storm pits of Brinkley show rushing business" In J. H. Stacks and Pear son Elledge's big pit the register" showed 53 occupants at one time. At H. L. Brickell's there were 40, MT. Cullipher had 3o and so on all around the town.
 A funny little incident is told of a very exciting occurrence in the Stack Elledge pit. Men. women and chil- dren were down in the earth. and # is said that when they were down there mischief. (they say it was Sid Nord- linger) who was standing on the out side threw some heavy weight on the door of the pit. Doorkeeper Claude McCreight felt the jar. the balance heard it and the imaginations ran riot Some could imagine trees Iailng on the pit, others houses, brick walls. etc. Nerves were on high tension. When those in the pit found out the cause of the trouble the feeling of re- sentiment was probably such as would have been dangerous for Sid tt they could have got hold of him. It wouldn't have been another case Of Daniel in the Lions den.'
 Many of the storm pits being built by our people are real fine and costly ones. Some are furnished with cots and stoves, and the families are thus enabled to comfortably spend the night with ease of mind.
 When the storm cellars were first talked of in Brinkley, there were many who spoke in a sighting way ot those who built, but the wisdom of the pit dwellers" is no longer criticised.

WEST BRINkLEY ALIVE.
Donnelly Turns on the Cur. rent in new Addition.
 Everything Busy.

What does all this meanp" is a question perscn naturally asks when they walk cut west Cedar street and see the wonderful improvement going on in the way of street grading, build ing. etc.
 Why. It's DonneIly getting his new addition to the City of Brinkley in readiness to offer to the people for residence building lots. is the answer Of the man having charge of the crew of workmen. or some resident of that section, who apparently takes a pride in the expenditure and Improvements being made by Mir. DonneIly.
 Mir. Donnelly bought the 527 acre tract of Kelly land lying just west of the city. to the north of the Rock Island, about a year ago. A few months ago he moved here from Chicago and opened in the Greenlee- Gum Block. the handscmest real es- tate office in Eastern Arkansas. Mir. Donnelly was in Little Rock Wednesday and Thursday buying scrapers and grading tools together with teams to use in the work of im- proving west Brinkley.
 Mir. Donnelly said to the ARGUS man yesterday: '.Yes, I've got faith in Brihkley if they will just take hold and help push. There isn't town in the South that has so many natural advantages that BrinkIey has and yet must say that those who ought to be the 'livest wires" in the work of boosting Brinkley' are many of them content to go on giving all of their time and talent to pushing their own business with no care or attention for the work of pushing the town. They do not realize that Cotton Plant. Clarendon. and Wheatley are all docking after their own. and that NOW. right now. is the time for Brirkley business men to unite in an organized effort to boost Brinkley. We started right. in our big booster meeting New Year, never saw a better start. Every fellow appears to be too busy with his own business now to give any time to Brinkley. and as . con- sequence there is danger of our losing the splendid start we made. lf Brink. ley puts in sewerage am going to build 10 or l2 new houses in my addition at once"

President of National Ginners

=, IN a Strong Letter.

Mr.. j. A. Taylor, president Of
tho national Ginners Association,
comes out in a letter urging the
farmers to reduce the cotton
acreage this year at least ten
per cent.
In his letter Mr.. Taylor says:
"A year ago I strongly urged
you to reduce the acreage in cot
son and grow more feedstuff. 1t
seems from the acreage report
last year that only y part Of the
growers reduced their acreage
and in some sections a smalI
increase was shown. The result
has been about as I predicted,
the lowest prices We have had TO,
several years. It now looks as
il the crop will bring around
$3.50, 900. 900, or over $50, ,000. .O0O
