DECI1I0N OF THE
 SUPREME COURT

l Little Rock, Feb. 15 - Elm. ployes of corporations in this section are highly elated over the decision of the Supreme Court yesterday, in which the semi monthly pay day act of the legis- lature was declared constitution al. The decision was rendered by Justice Frauenthal and was so plain on the subject the corpora tions of the state will hardly car. ry it further.
 The decision was rendered in case of Arkansas Slave Co.,. of Craighead County vs. State of Arkansas.
 There were three counts to the indictment, made for the pur- pose of testing the law so there could be no evasion through sub- terfuge in the future. The cor pOrations cannot hold back in any way now, and pay their men but once month, unless the employe refuses to accept a semi.monthly pay day.
 The Arkansas Slave Co.,, was indicted for making an agree. ment with employees to pay but once a month, for failing to pay semi monthly, and because em- ployes, at it's instance, had refus- ed to accept money in the middle of the month when tendered to them.
 The first C unt was dismissed by the Supreme Court, which held that such contract entere1 into by the empIoye would be without force, but the employer committed no criminal violation in making such a contract. The second count was sustained, and the third was reversed because at no time can an employer force money on an employe. This puts it up to the corporations now strong enough to suit any of the employees.

Most Pile Remedies Hiss the Cause

Disagreeable treatment with ointmentS or SuppositOrieS us ually fails to cure piles and cut ting them off won't remove the cause.

Many in the large audience at Haynes Hall last evening fol Miss Hettie J. Dunaway'S read ing of The Lady of the Decora tion" were, doubtless admirers of Francis Little's story.

Miss Dunaway, a talented Ark. ansas girl who is spending the winter studying in Boston has arranged the music and cos tunes appropriate to the pop1- lar Japanese tale and her imper- Sonation was exceedingly clever and interesting.

Ioa BusheIs PEI Acrs.

G. H. Afford gives the following:
"The Collins Commercial says
that Joe Stewart, who lives near
Mize, recently gathered 48e bush
els of corn from FIVE acres. From
four and half acres, he gathered
$50 bushels, an average of Io2
bushels per acre.
"He plowed the land deep last
fall and again this spring. He
thoroughly pulverized the soil be-
fore planting, used 1900 pounds Of
commercial fertilizer per acre and
200 pounds of nitrate of soda;
planted March 2oth; and gave the
corn frequent and shallow cultiva-
ton.
at is not so difficult to obtain
100 bushels on one acre, but $50
bushels on four and one half acres
is certainly good"

gpublte Opinion s
Believes in Poison.

Editor ReveilIe :
note in your Issue of the Week
ly ReveiIle that many are writing
in the interests of agriculture, par
ticularly since the cotton boil weev
il has come and destroyed the cot
ton crops.
l agree with them all In the
matter of diversi6cation of crops
and planting Iegumes TO aid the
fertility of our soil but / find that
we must plant crop that can be
sold for cash, as we need money to
pay our expenses and debts Cot
ton is the part of our crop that will
bring the cash any day It lie offered
for sale in the market. Of course
hogs and cattle ca be sold for cash
at any time you can find a buyers
but the average farmer is not in
shape to engage in stock-raising at
short notice.
Peanuts will sell for cash, but
the farmers generally are not able
to purchase necessary machinery to
D1ant and harvest such crops, and
prepare them for market.
/ used poison by direction on my
cotton this year with satisfactory
success, considering it was a bad,
rainy season.
/ have gathered 2S bales of cot
ton this season against IS bales
last year. l planted 100 acres In
cotton last year and got IS bales,
averaging 45o pounds per bale,
while this year I planted 81 acres
and gathered 28 bales, averaging
$50 pounds per bale.
l left two acres not poisoned and
did not get half as much cotton
per acre from those two acres as
did from cotton on which I used
the poison, so I tested the efhcien-
cy of the poison to my satisfaction.
The poison does not iujure the
cotton if properly applied, but toe
much of 1t applied will injure the
foliage Of the cotton.
/ had no trouble from the poison
Iinjuring stock.
Two applications OF this poison
will cost about 3oc per acre.
There Is no use to talk about de-
lstroying the weevil's alternating
qualities in this section and only 9
Joke to talk about destroying the
weevil by picking him off the cot
ton, and the biggest job ever un'
dertook to pick up the faller
squares.
Such is my experience this year

BODY cREMATED.
S. o. Martin supposed to Have Been
Murdered and Body Burned
In House.

Hazlehurst, MISS, Nov. 6.-S.
Q. Martin, farmer, 80 years old,
living fourteen miles west of this
place, near the town of Barlow,
was last night murdered and his
body cremated in his dwelling,
which was burned by unknown
parties.
Mr.. Martin had been in Barlow
late in the afternoon and returned
to his home about dark. Bet
ween 7 and 8 o'clock at night
neighbors were attracted by the
fire, and a negro named Faulkner
reached the premises, but not un-
til after the fire had gained con-
siderable headway. He claims TO
have seen the body of the young
man lying in the hallway. but was
unable to reach it because of the
heat. Others soon came up, but
were unable to rescue the body
until the house had burned to the
ground, when the charred remains
were taken from the fire.
Mr.. Marin is supposed to have
had 500 in cash, and possibly
more. He had also Just sold some
hogs for 5000, and received acheck
in payment, and it is supposed
that the murderers thought he had
collected on this check.
The deceased was the son of A.
M. Martin and a nephew of ]. @.
Martin, both of this city. He was
a .brother.in-law of M. S. McNeill,
district attorney. He leaves a
wife and two children. His wife
was absent from home at the time
of the tragedy, being quite sick
and at the home of M. Coen,
her step-father. No one was at
the. Martin home except the de-
ceased, SO far as known.-Special

There was no outlay for feed, the

he saw land values in southwest
Texas tumble from $50 and $40
per acre to So and So per acre as a
result of the boil weeYil. Land
couldn't be sold even at those
prces, and that was the only bless
ing connected with it. After four
years of depression, the people
went 10 diversifying and raising
stock, and the result was marvel

than they were before the advent
of the weevil. We can do the
