worst disaster the life guards OF ths

years occurred today on the sand
bars off the Peaked Hills. They stood
on the beach with their life boats
ana OTHER apparatus. unable to rem
dor assistance, while three coal carry-
ing barges were hurled to destruction
and all on board, II men, lost their
, lives ia the surf,
The barges we're the Treverton,

getaer at $l25.e00. With the excel

drowned sailors We're -all Philapel-

AS the two barges, tne Treyerton
and Corbin, broke up very quickly,
it is believed twelve lives were lost
within an hour after the barges
broke away from the trg Lykens this
morning and went into tle break rs
Five other seamen were seen 81 8

when, in attempting to reach shoe ia

Came From Philadelphia.
TIE TUG 1.ykens started from Pnila-
delphia last week with tie Treverton
for Portland, the Ccrbin for Ports
mouth and the Pine Forest for Mar
blehead.
The LyGens with her tow was off
Nausctt late in the evening. She later
mel the full force of the gale in the
arm of the Cape
The life saving patrol saw her stand
ing off shore to avoid the Peaked
Hill bars before dawn The gale in
creased in fury about o'clock, and
the strong hawser at the stern Of the
tug parted when the Lykens was
more than mile from the . eaked
Hill life saving station, The last
watch Of the night patrol was start
ing out from the Peaked Hill station
when he discovered wreckage. in the
breakers. The crew was quickly sum
moned but ii was too dark to make
on. anything, More fiotsam came
tuifbllng on the beach, but there was
nothing to identify it.
Cawu Reveals Disaster.
At dawn a stranded barge with a
single mast could be seen far out In
the breakers on the outer bar, while
in the offing lowered the tug which
proved to be the Lykens. The life
savers soon realized that no life boat
could traverse those 500 yards OF,
cross, whirling billows.
Two men We're seen clinging to the
rigging and three Others holding on
TO the house. 1t was apparent thas
re other two bargas had long since
broken up. The Lykens could not
render assistance, owing to the
heavy sea, and started for Province
town.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the men
of the Pine Forest were zen 20 gath
er in group. Before those on the
beach realized their purpose their lit
tie dory on top of the barge house
had been cut loose and launched. All
five men tnen tumbled into II for the
last fight for their lives. but before
they graspel their oars big comber
came rolling around the stern>of the
barge and over them. That was the
end.

rIELTON TRIES TO ESCAPE

Fred Melton, who is confined in the county jail at Batesyille, made an unsuccessful attempt to gain his liberty few days ago. He at tempted to escape by digging a hole through the brick wall of the jail. He worked on the hole at night, keeping his coat hanging over it in the daytime, and had a considerable hole dug nearly en- tirely through the wall when dis covered. Melton was bound over to the grand jury by the justice
 court here some time ago on a charge of burglary, and being un- able to give bond, was sent to jail.

RECALLS DISASTROUS STORM

Mr. Editor -TWenty-three years ago todayJune 28, 1888)one of the most destructive wind, rain and hail storms that ever visited Inde- pendence county swept the Char lotte neighborhood.
 If my memory is not at fault, there were 56 crops partially and many totally destroyed. W. M Jernigan had six or eight acre cat patch just ready for the blade, and after the storm you could not tell that an oat stalk had ever stood on the entire block. Corn, cotton, fruit and gardens were de stroyed, timber badly damaged and many residences injured. In many houses every pane of glass was broken from the windows. But the people lived over 1t, and if any of them ever missed a meal or went to bed hungry l do not know 1t.
 was at Barren Fork that day, at Joe NJ. Denison's, and could see the white or milky streaks of rain and hail and hear the awful roar; and Barren Fork is Is miles away.
 There were no lives lost that 1 remember, but there were many sad-faced farmers who had seen the results of their hard labor swept away in few short hours.
 This little look backward may cheer up some Respondent tiller of the soil and give him courage to press onward and thank God that such calamities are not upon him now. Bad things may be ahead, but some have already passed and yet all is well.
 The outlook here now Is good for a bountiful crop of corn and cotton. Health is good; about as much so here as any place we have ever lived. But the worst months are August and September.
 Best wishes to all. Cordially,
 JAS. F. JERNIGAN,

It was uphill business, too, at best, to go on toil- ing and sweating, day after day in the hot sun building a boat away out on dry land while the local an- vii and hammer clubs sat around splitting tobacco juice upon his lumber, whiting up his pine boards with their jack knives and telling him what a fool he was to
 be expecting big rain in a coun- try that was too hot to grow al falfa. But he kept at it. Finally

BOOST THE STATE FAIR Preparations Under Way For In1- provenent in All Depart
 ments of Exposition

Hot Springs, July 5.-Early in- dications point to the greatest ex- position this year in the history of the Arkansas State Fair.
 From a modest beginning it has developed into a thing of vast magnitude, not only statewide but interstate in scope. Having the finest and best adapted fair grounds and plant in the South, and locat- ed at the nations greatest health and pleasure resort, visited annu- ally by over 100000 people from all parts of the United States, and the world at large, 1t affords ex- ceptional facilities for the exploita- ton of our States marvellous re- sources. Never before have the eyes of the outside world been eentered on Arkansas as now. Her vast possibilities and opportunities for investment are attracting Capi- tai and thrifty immigration. Every progressive cOunty,-every wide awake town, in the State, which has commercial, agricultural and industrial advantages to offer, should be at the State Fair with exhibits and advertising matter.
 All departments promise won derful expansion this year. The cattle show will be immense, in cluding herds of many pure blood breeds from other states. The same will be true of the swine, horse and sheep departments. The poul- try department will be an interest ing feature, and breeders of fine fouls should prepare to maKe en- tries. Prospects of bounteous crops in all lines presage a show of agri- cultural and fruit products that will astonish the world.
 The amusement attractions will be more varied and higher class than ever, and clean in character.
 Railroads rates will be secured reducing the expense to a mini mum. A premium of $100 cash will be awarded the county mak- ing the best exhibit, determined by the greatest number of awards to individuals of the county.

BAKER GIVES HIS VIEWS
New Revenue Law is Too Radical and Would Especially Op-
 press the Farmer

MT. Editor. In addition to the statements accredited to me in an article or interview published in The Journal last week, desire to submit the following additional reasons for submitting the Tur- ner-Jacobson revenue law to the people:
 Section 3 provides that All property shall be listed and valued as on the first day of Febraury in the year in which same is assessed and the transfer or sale of any tax able property subsequent to the first day of February shall hot authorize any person to omit same from any list, althought such list shall not be made until after the sale or transfer of such property but all such shall be listed for tax ation in the same manner as if no sale or transfer thereof had been made
 The first of June, as the law is now, is the most suitable time for the farmer and laboring man. At this time he has less than any oth- CT time in the year. The first of February, the time of assessing in the new law, catches him with more property than at any other time. His crib is full corn, pen full of killing hogs, loft fulfof hay and oftimes one or more bales of cotton unsold, all of which would have to be listed at its full and true value in money. Two hund- red bushels of corn on the first day of February would be consumed by the first of June in the making of the crop. However, he would have $100 worth of corn to list if corn was selling at 50c per bushel one or more bales of cotton on hand, although might be out stand ing debts to the whole amount yet 1t would have to be listed for $50 per bale if cotton was selling at 10c per pound.
 Do the people desire this change of time?
 Now, as to real estate, We find in section Is this language: Each parcel of real estate shall be assess ed at its true and full value in money. He shall also, if the as sessor demands 1t, fix the value of the timber on any tract of land; also the minerals, fossils, quaries, springs or anything else on the land that gives 1t a special value.
 Who ever heard of a man hay ing to assess a spring or good well of water on his farm at its
