Rich Zinc Ore Found.

Harrison.-A late report from Mount Hersey in Newton County, indicates that one of the best mineral discov- cries ever made in that county has been made on the old Granby land, at a place not heretofore prospected. A few months ago the owners leased a 40-aere tract to a Mir. Stump, who is a conductor on the road between Mem phis and St. Louis, who, in looking over the ground, went down to q ledge which outcropped on the hill, and there found what he thought to be rich, ore bearing rock along the bluff.
 He decided to have a round of shots put in on the face of the bluff, which resulted in showing that the whole ledge carried a good per cent of zinc blende.
 They have uncovered it for dis tance of 90 yards along the hillside, and have broken off the ledge for a distance of from 10 to 20 feet back. and it all carries ore, and in places they found solid chsnks of free zinc blende which will weigh 50 to 100 pounds.
 MT. Stump has. satisfied himself that it is a permanent body of ore, and has ordered a concentrating plant.

Telephone Company Appe7ls Case.

Suit has just been filed ih the state supreme court in the case of A. F. Steiner, by next friend, M A. Williams, against the North Arkansas Telephone Company, an appeal being taken from the Washington county circuit court. The case involves a question of dam- ages for injuries received by young Steiner, alleged to be due to the negli- genee of the telephone company. In 1907 he was in the service of the tele- phone company and claims that he was instructed to climb telephone post and cut an overhead wire, which he did; that the post was not properly guyed and that it fell, breaking his leg and otherwise injuring him. He asked judgment for $7,500 and secured a Judgment for half that amount, s. $50

CHICOT FARMERS INTERESTED.
Agricultural Department Representa- tive Addressed Large Assemblage.

Lake Village.-J. J. Moore, district agent for the national agricultural de- partment, addressed a representative meeting of bankers, merchants, plant CTS, lawyers and physicians at this place and awakened great enthusiasm in the movement toward scientific methods of agriculture. His lecture was listened to with undivided attention by the representative gathering present and a movement was immediately inaugural ed to obtain the exclusive services of a special department agent for Chicot county for the ensuing year.
 The department of agriculture will donate $500 toward the employment of an agent and the local interests are Agents can be secured for $500, but it is deemed wise to have fund of 5000 in order to obtain the services of a more experienced man. One hundred and fortyfive dollars was raised at the meeting and committee consisting of J. G. B. Simms, J. c. Gillison and Har- " E. Cook appointed to solicit and collect further donations. It is thought the full sum of $600 can be raised with. out difficulty.
 This committee has appointed sub committees throughout the county and an organized movement inaugurated. The farmers of this section do not fear the boil weevil to any great extent, but desire to prefNre for any pest and also desire to adopt system of ex- tensive and scientific farming, thereby obtaining the greatest results from the best practical methods.

Demonstration Farms Helnful.

Little Roek.-The movement to have a government demonstration farm or farms established in Pulaski county is meeting with the approval of many of the real estate men and active citizens, who realize the benefits to follow The demonstrator from the government has proven very satisfactory and of great help in many communities where he has been sent and is thought to be of equal value to this section
 In speaking of the result of demon strations W. W. Rightsell said few days ago: "The. government demon stration farms are what has raised the Bermuda onions in Texas, for it was through government demonstration work that the soil was found to be adapted to the onion crop. The same is what has caused the eastern Arkansas lands to be used for the cultivation of rice and made what was considered cheap land very valuable.
 "The efforts of those who are trying to get a government demonstrator and demonstration farm here should be given every encouragement and should be assisted by the farmers and land owners. Not only is instruction and in- formation given the farmer, but the land Is increased in value as result of the education given.

DoNAGHEY URGES DRAINAGE.
State Will Be Enriched by Reclaiming
 Big Swamp Acreage.

Governor Donaghey has addressed letter to George A. Cole of Fayette- vile, president of the Arkansas Far mers Union, in which he urged the need of drainage in Arkansas and the entire lower Mississippi valley. He de- clared that such drainage would great ly lower the cost of living in this see tion of the country. He further stated that there are 6,000,000 acres of swamp land in Arkansas which, he states, could be prepared for cultivation at cost of $688 per acre, according to govern ment reports He further states that the draining of the land would increase the value of farm lands in Arkansas $210,00O,000, and would greatly in- crease the rural population and insists that the people of the state should move jointly in seeking legislative aid from Congress.

Praises the Boosting Convention.

J. G Hollenbeck, assistant general passenger agent of the Iron Mountain, IS believer in advertising for Arkan- sas and is boosting the Arkansas State Land Convention, which will meet in Little Rock in March, because it's pur- pose is to advertise the state. "The railroads are doing a lot to advertise tie state,' said MT. Hollenbeck, "'but the trouble is that the people have been content to sit back and let them go it alone. With the exception of spas modic efforts of local organizations, Arkansas has never enjoyed a real live boosters campaign until the advent of the one now being planned. That con- vention s going to boost the state.''

THE HORTICULTURAL REPORT.
State Printing Board Declines to Issue
 Proceedings in Bulletin.


 In view of the fact that the State Horticultural Society is doing great work for the state at large, and that the burden of the finances falls on the shoulders of comparatively few men, the question of the ability of the state to assist in the publication of the re- ports of the society was discussed among members of the state printing board.
 Secretary of State Ludwig sent a communication to the society stating that he would be willing to vote for the publication of the proceedings of the society, if it could be shown that the society was sufficiently connected with the agricultural experiment sta tion to warrant this action.
 State Auditor lobe was inclined to think that the cost of publication could not be paid from the state print ing fund, as he did not regard the so state government, and believed the printing fund is confined to pay the ex- penses of the several departments.
 Guy B. Tucker, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, heartily endorsed the proposition, and printing fund could be drawn upon to pay the expenses of the proceedings, called upon the attorney general for an official opinion as to whether the appro priation could be used for that pur pose. Commissioner Tucker stated that the printing of the proceedings of the society would be of great benefit to the farmers of Arkansas and to others outside of the state interested in the agricultural development of the state, and suggested that the proceedings be printed to be used as a bulletin from the agricultural department of the state.
 At the meeting of the state printing board MT Ludwig moved that the board authorize the printing of the report, which was voted down by the two oth- CT members, Governor Donaghey and State Auditor lobe.
 In giving his opinion to Commission CT Tucker as to the authority of the board to print the proceedings of the horticultural society, Attorney General Norwood says:
 Answering your inquiry as to whether you would be authorized to make requisition for the printing of a report of the proceedings of the State Horticultural Society, to be dis tributed as bulletin from your office, I beg to reply that it occurs to me that this would very properly come within the scope of your duties as commissioner, and that the same could be paid for out of the $50,00O appro- priated for state printing.
 t'I believe the auditor would be war rsnted in issuing a warrant against such appropriation to pay for such printing. It may not come technically within the provisions authorizing cer- tain matters to be printed, but many matters are printed for the informa- tion of the general public, and these matters are largely within the discre- tion of the respective state depart ments, and it certainly would be ex- pedient to distribute such valuable in- formation as the proceedings of this horticultural society among the fruit growers and farmers of Arkansas

DOUBLE HANGING AT osCEoLA.
Condemned Negroes Make Speeches
 TeIing of Murder Committed.

Osceola.-W and Charles Mullins, negroes, were publicly hanged here in the courthouse yard in the presence of 5000 people, for the murder of Mrs. Josie Cummings and Alexander Rob- ertson, her father, on boat near Shawnee, this county, December 6, 1909. Both made speeches from the scaffold in which they told the details of the crime, Charles speaking first and Will sanctioning everything he said. Sheriff C. B. Hall conducted the hanging and sprung the drop at 2;54 clock. Charles Mullins lived three minutes and Will Mullins six. Their bodies were cut down and turned over to the negro population for burial.
 In his talk Charles Mullins stated that he was not related to Will Mul- lins, but had been working side by side with him for a year. They had often discussed their condition, and if nally had reached the conclusion that there was an easier way to get through the winter than by working. Their plan was to rob the whisky boat oper- ated by Cummings, the husband of their victim. Having decided upon this they carried it into effect, and no one knowing of their intentions.
 They went to the boat with the pur- pose of buying quart of whisky, and found Mrs. Cummings and MT. Robert son on board. The latter was dressed, but he was taking a hot footbath. Will Mullins asked Mrs. Cummings to sell him quart of liquor, and she said she would if he would row her across the river to make the sale, which he did. Charles Mullins remained on the boat talking to old man Robertson, who con- tinued his laying.
 On the return of Mrs. Cummings and Will Mullins the latter made some re- marks which led Mrs. Cummings to be- lieve that violence was about to be used. She thereupon started for her gun and Will Mullins drew his pistol and shot her dead.
 Holding her father at bay, the ne- groes searched the boat for money, turning every article over and finding only $5.11 in a pocketbook under the quilt on the bed.
 
 witness to the crime still being alive, Will Mullins said to Charles: Have you lost your nerve?'' Charles re- piled that he had not, and asked for the gun. He took deliberate aim at the covering, pleading old man and shot him to death.
 Thinking to cover up the traces of their crime they set fire to the boat and fled. It did not burn up and they were soon detected, brought here and tried and convicted on December IS, 1909. No appeal was taken.
 When Charles had finished his state ment Will Mullins was given the floor, and he spoke briefly and to the point Charles has told you exactly how it happened,o he said. He then went on to tell about his criminal record, how many close places he had been in, how often he had been shot at and had used his gun, and how on one occasion he had been cut. He had as many names as there were colors in Joseph s coat working name, fighting name, voting name, wedding name and sev- eral aliases.
 Will had no oratorical name, and when his first wind gave out he drop ped to his knees and Charles followed him, each praying for the other, and both delivering their souls into the care of the Keeper of Souls.

ton to the fax growing and explained
how by planting the plump bright
seed and by treating it, it would be
possible to keep out the flax wilt. He
advised them that it would be well to
store the best fax seed that they
could secure and to sell it for seed;
the point being that If those who are
breaking up new land SOW scaly, dis
eased seed they will injure the land
for flax growing not only on their
own land, but also on the surround
ing farms. So that from an economic
standpoint it would pay the elevator
men to give attention to these things.
They were very much interested in
the information, and action will likely
be taken to encourage the matter of
better seed being sold in order to
conserve the crop for the future. 1t
is interesting to know that the bulk
of the flax now comes from 20 miles
further west than it did ten years
ago, showing that it is slowly moving
westward.
