WANTED TO GET
BACK HOME AGAIN
bad JAKE" NOBLE PROVES TO
BE MAN NAMED ALBERT
BARNETT.
Barnett Was Homesick and Adopted
Scheme to Secure Free Trans
portation to Kentucky.

Winslow.-The would-be bad Jake"
Noble, who surrendered here to Dep
uty Sheriff Quinn, confessing that he
was wanted in Jackson, Breathitt
county, Kentucky, for the murder of
Jailer Wesley Turner, who he killed
last November, was discharged from
custody at Fayetteville when Sheriff
J. B. Hudson of jackson county ar
rived there. Hudson identified the
prisoner as Albert Barnett, former
resident of Jackson county. Sheriff
Hudson had secured requisition papers
from Governor Wilson of Kentucky
and they were honored by Governor
Donaghey. Barnett, however, was re-
leased from Jail as soon as the sher
if identified him. 1t is believed here
that Barnett was penniless and home
sick and invented the story in the
hope of securing transportation back

Fight Agricultural Appropriation Bill.

Representative Kersh of Union is
waging a vigorous warfare against
the Turner bill, which has passed the
senate. carrying an appropriation of
$4,000 for the four agricultural
schools of the state. Mr.. Kersh says
he has no objection to that part of
the bill which provides for the main.
tenaace of those worthy institutions.
but it Is an item of $27 500 contained
in the bill to finish paying the $4,000
bonus which Jonesboro subscribed In
order to secure the school which is
located at that place. that he is OBJ
iecting to. He contends that Jones'
boro should come across and pay the
full amount of the bonus herself Just
as the towns did where the other
schools are located. He therefore in
sisted that this item of 1900 be
stricken from the bill and the re-
mainder pro rated equally among the
four schools in the state.

Urqe Agricultural Training.

Hon. George A. Cole, president OF
Mobley, lecturer and organizer OF
boys corn clubs in Arkansas, ad-
dressed the house in response to an
invitation by that body. Mr.. Cole said
he thought the state had no better
law than that requiring agriculture
to be taught in the common schools
of the country, but he thought 1t
should be carried further and provide
a plot of ground to be utilized by
each school for experimental work.
He gave as cause for the failure OF
many agricultural schools the fact
that they have at their head literary
men instead OF practical farmers, and
pointed out the distinction between
the book method and the scientific
way of teaching agriculture. He
called attention to the fact that one
fourth of the people produce the food
consumed by the other three-fourths,
and declared that it is to the interest
of the majority that the farmer be ed
ucated to the highest possible stand
ard of perfection in his line of indus
try. He declared that unless our
farmer boys are trained in their call
ing our land will soon go into the
hands of aliens, many of whom are
scientific farmers. Without proper
equipment of our agricultural schools,
he said, our boys and girls will drift
into the literary schools, which do not
fit them for practical vocations Mr.
Mobley called attention to the two
kinds of education, the classic and
the avocational. The classic educa-
ton, he said, fits no one for the prac-
teal side of life, while those espe-
cially trained in any pursuit, even
though with limited literary educa.
ton, are the ones who succeed. He
reviewed the work of the boys corn
clubs as an educational factor which
is having a potent influence for the
uplft of the farming industry in Ark
ansas, and appealed to the legislators
to not graft literary branches upon
the agricultural schools of Arkansas.

Hurst-Bradhan Revenue Bill.

The Hurst-Bradham revenue bill
which has passed the house had a
rather rocky road in the senate for a
while when the measure was brought
up for consideration in that body
Senator Holland, chairman of the SEN
ate Judiciary committee. made a mo-
ton to table the bill, which failed, and
then Senator Keel moved to indefi-
nitely postpone, which also failed, and
discussion of the merits of the bill
followed. Among the important fea-
lures of the measure are that all
property shall be listed for taxes al
its full value, instead of only so per
cent. as is the present custom there
by assuring more equitable distri-
button of the burdens of taxation
among the wealthy and the poor peo-
pie. When all taxable property is as
sessed at full value the levy can be
lowered by reason of the increased
volume of assessed valuation, thereby
tightening the burden on the small
property owner, who as a rule, lists his
property for taxes as much nearer its
true value now than the holders of
large interests, such as railroads,
banks, etc. as well as of lands being
held for speculation Another feature
provides that appeals for the lowering
of assessments shall be taken before
the state tax commission instead OF
before the county court, as at present.
Senators Covington. Martin, CarlLee
and Clerget spoke in favor of the bill,
while Senators Holland Keel, White
and Friedell spoke against it,
