CONFESSED ID
 PURJURY CHARGE
EXAMPLE OF THE LITTLE RE sPEcT SOME OF THE loNoR-
 ANT NEGROES HAVE.
Deputy Prosecutor informed Lettie Thompson She Would be Prose
 cuted if She swore Falsely.

An example Of the disrespect which some negroes of the lower types have for the law was demon strated yestenlas in the trial of a case in circuit court.
 Lettie Thompson. a negress, was on the stand Tn connection with an Illegal cohabisation charge. She had sworn in the lower lourts to n certain con dition. and yesterday her evidence was to have bee taken again
 Before she went on the stand Dep uty Prosecutor Wood heard the ne- gross was going to swear opposite from her evidence m the lower court. and he went to her anu informed her that if she did she would be com hitting perjury, and wonld be pun ashed then under a very grave charge. as isss
 The negress did not follow the caution, but went on the stand and swore ter story through. anI then when asked by the deputy prosecutor if she had not sworn opposite in the lower courts she frankly admit ted she had.
 T swore lie the other timep said the negress.
 When she stepped from the wit ness box she was taken to the grana jury room. where she was indictea for perjury and will probably get a long sentence in states prison as a means of correcting her disrespelt for the law.

FOOTBALL TEAM
 OFF FOR CONWAY
IS IN GOOD CONDITION TO MEET OPPONENTS ON THEIR OWN
 FIELD SATURDAY.
Because of Lack of Home Support the Team Hao Been Unable to Schedule Any Games In
 This City.

The local High School team had it's last workout yesterday afternoon and the boys wll take the Iron Mountain this afternoon for Conway to meet the High School at that place.
 The team Is in much better condi- tion save for few slight injuries than at any time this season and with the new formations and the new arrangement of the men the boys feel that they ought to win by q good score.
 Conway has played no match games, but has been practicng very hard. so we have a little iiea of how the score will go.
 Several changes have been made in the line up, and while composed of the same men the coaches feel that the Conway line up is better than the one that defeated Pine Bluff. Garratt, the fast tackle, has been shifted to full back, in order 10 make use of his ability in making the forward pass f. Lambert has been placed ill Garat's tackle posi- ton.
 McNeal has been put in at center and Rogers is playing guard shov- ing Hoffman out to tackle; with Broom in his regular position at guart and Merritt and Housley play ing ends it will be some team" that will make any gains through the line.
 Great credit is due the second team for their regularity and hard work at practcIng' without the faith. ful scrubs" no team would amount to any thing.
 The management is well aware that no team has as good a chance of winning games away from home, land that we might have more hopes of the championship if we could play more in Hot Springs, but there is Inc sum at the disposal of the Athlet lie Association, and no game this season has even nearly paii ex- penses.
 This money has to come either from the players or from the coach es and neither is financially able to stand it Therefore the next five games will be away from home as follows:
 October 21 at Conway; october 2S. Henderson Seconds at Henderson; November 1, Clary Training School, at Fordyce; Nov. II. at Pine Bluff; Nov. s, at Little Rock; Thanksgiv ling. Conway at Hot Springs.

OUR THEATRICAL ARTISTS
Home Talent Held Full Sway at
Opera House Wednesday
Evening

| A pleasing event occurred ON
Wednesday evening at the opera
house when Mrs. Hutchinson s
class in expression played before
bne of the most cultured and
critical audiences ever assembled
in cur little city. The house was
full to its capacity. 1t was worth
the price alone to note the int
est of both patrons and friends
of these young folks.C Prof.
Bucklin S orchestra was present
and delighted the audience with
several fine numbers which add
ed decidedly to the ensemble
furnishing an overture and play
ing between the intermissions.
As the curtain rose, a scene was
presented that was quite enough
TO invoke the widest enthusiasm.
One really finds himself void of
descriptive adjectives applicable
to portray the unconscious
naivette of this younger set who
presented the drama, Joe;
they captivated the audience at
the beginning and held them in
a state of increasing interest un-
ill the curtain fell on the last
act.
This play was followed by the
comedy GOWN TO Maggie, ~ pre-
sented by the older pupils of the
class.
To say that this was an enjoy
able part of the program is eX-
pressing it but mildly. Each one
acted his part so well. This was a
first class comedy, chaste enough
for the most refined to enjoy.

Home Owning

Alleging that there is an or
ganized movement on foot on
part of foreign interests to ac-
quire large holdings of cotton
lands in the southern states,
President Barrett of the Farm
ers union urges that it is to the
welfare Of the southern farmer
and business man to cooperate
TO the end that the farmer may
own his acres.
The foreign ownership Of large
cotton-bearing plantations is a
menace much more substantial
than the old bogy of foreign
competition i'm cotton growing.
1t is worth the careful consid-
GRAFTON not only the farmer him
self but, as well, of the business
man who would suffer from this
new factor in our economic
scheme.
President Barrett shows a
realization Of the condition,
when he says:
"The movement of 100000
Americans across the border in
one year has unmistakable sig
nifcance. and it mus be recog-
nized with regret that the ele-
ment thus lured away repre-
sents some of the best blood and
the most valuable energy among
our people. That such a move
men should occur while in the
eastern states vast tracts Of ser
viceable farming lands are neg
lected seems anomalous, but the
stubborn fact is there, and IS not
to be gainsaid.
The Constitution has often in
dicated the evils of tenancy or
cropping as those which the
entire South should combine IN
minimizing or wiping out.
The one-horse farmer is, in the
last analysis, the backbone Of
the South.
He should be given the oppor-
tunity TO acquire his own land
upon reasonable transatlantic
Constitution.

Blames Politicians

"lt isn't the farmers, it'S the

the reciprocity with Canada, said
James j. Hill, chairman of the
Great Northern. THE plea is
made. ostensibly on behalf of the
farmers, that Canadian wheat
would come in and deprive the
American farmer of obtaining
the pay for his product to which
he is entitled. As a matter of
fact. the difference in the price
of wheat between Winnipeg and
Minneapolis is only &c or 3o.
and the cost of transportation
over the $50 miles between those
cities would add Sc or 9c 10 this.
so that argument seems illfound-
ed.
They say the market for man
ufactured products is dull. Well.

Great Britain. And who next !
Canada. Doest it seem logical
and reasonable that this northern
neighbor, our best customer but
one. should be cultiatvedl
The reciprocity measure IS
the greatest which has come be-
fore the country since the Civil
War and should be passed.
Regarding a report that the
Hill lines are TO be extended into
Canada, and that the Canadian
Governrleut stands reday 10 give
a subsidy Of $4,000 a mile for
SUCH extension, Mr.. Hill said:
THAT statement is stupid. We

for now. II they want lines
