great trouble with pain and weak
ness in my back, some days 1 could
not do thing, and to get rid of it,

internally and externally. Finally
heard of the work DR.. Bartz was do

BURGLARS MAKE
 FULL CONFESSION

Freely confessing that they were the men who entered the stores of 5. T. Deal, Drummer Hardware Compa- ny and Cole X Co. Tuesday night and stole quantity of goods, Sam Smith and Emmet Farmer told at their ex- amining trial this morning the details of the burglary. They refused, how ever, to admit that they had taken a number of articles which were miss ing from the stores, but which were not found in the negroes possession when they were arrested.
 Prosecuting Attorney George w. Clark filed two charges against each of the negroes of burglary and grand larceny, alleged to have been com mitted in the stores of B. T. Deal and Drummer Hardware Company A sufficient quantity of goods was not taken from the Cole store to reach the value of $10 and constitute third felony charge.
 After hearing the evidence Justice of the Peace w. B. Wilson bound each of the negroes over to the grand jury, fixing their bond at $500 apiece in each case. If giveE the minimum sentence in both cases, Smith and Farmer will have to serve eight years in the pen itentiary, three for burglary and one for grand larceny in each case.
 The prosecuting attorney states that he will make an effort to have Circuit Judge Eugene Lankford call a special grand jury and give the ne groes a trial As it is more than four months until the next term of circuit court the expenses of keeping the pris- oners in jail until then would exceed

Respectfully, "M. F. DICKINSON,
Secretary Treasurer.


 Secretary Dickinson also wrote to a number of companies selling fertilizer in the state and several of them an- swered that they had been endeavor- ing for months to secure tags from the office of the commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, but were unable to do so; and that they had been given official permission by the state agricultural department to sell their fertilizer without tags. The following correspondence between Sec retary Dickinson and the Arkansas Fertilizer Company of Little Rock is typical of large batch on file in the secretary's office:
 Conway, Ark, Feb. 28, 1910. Arkansas Fertilizer Company, Little
 Rock, Ark:
 "GENTLEMEN--I find that you have shipped fertilizer into Arkansas this year without the tax tag signed by the commi ssioner of mines, manufac- lures and agriculture, as required by the law of this state. I would like to know why you have done this. If you were unable to secure the tags you were justifiable possibly in shipping the stuff out as your trade was de- manding it. But if you had the tags in stock or had failed to make appli- cation for them as required by law, you have been guilty of a misdemean- or, and should be prosecuted for the same.
 "Please answer me at once, as I am Investigating this matter, not only with your company but with other companies that have done the same thing. Respectfully.
 "M. F. DICKINSON, "State Sec-Treas. Farmers Union." The company's reply follows:
 Little Rock, Ark, March 1, 1910. "Mr. M. F. Dickinson, Sec.- Treas, Ar kansas State Farmers Union, Con-
 way, Ark:
 "SIR-Yours of 18th ult. received, and we want to say that we are glad of the opportunity to explain to you why our fertilizers have not had the tax tags, as required by law. We be- gan in September inquiring at the commissioners office to know whether they would have tags in time for our fall shipments. We continued to in- quire and the writer of this letter made probably not less than eight or ten trips to the commissioner office during October, November and De- cember in quest of tags. We paid $500 in advance for tags, hoping that this would induce the commissioners office to give the matter the necessary at tention.
 "We explained that we were com pelled to ship goods or decline orders and were given an official eltter from the commissioners office authorizing us to ship goods without the tags until the tags could be obtained. As soon as we received the tags we began tag ging all of our shipments so that we could be legally in the right.
 'We have no objection to you mak- ing the contents of this letter public, as we would be glad for the public to know the troubles we have had in se- curing tags for this seasons ship ments.
 Yours respectfully,
 ARKANSAS FERTILIZER CO"
