BARNWELL GRIEVES
AT CHRISTIE'S DEATH.
Had Been Known and Liked There
Since Boyhood-Relatives Go
to Augusta.

Barnwell, Sept. 28.-The news of
the killing of Robert v. Christie by
militiamen in Augusta was a great
shock to his many friends here, where
he had been known and we'll liked
since boyhood. 1t was indeed hard for
them to realize that "Bob" whose
young manhood held out so much
promise of future success, is no more
and that he should have met death
in such manner is doubly hard.
His mother, Mrs. L. c.. Christie, of
Barnwell, his sister, Mrs. A. M. Wray,

Garlic Brown, left here this mornin-

tectives in the pursuit of Wesley Ed
wards and Sidna Allen followed to
Des Moines, Ia, to the hiding place
Of the fugitives, was in Roanoke to
day.
In discussing his daughters con
nection with the Allen case captures
he denied with much indignation that
she had knowingly given assistance
to the officers. She had not the faint
est idea that she was being followed
until after Sidna Allen was arrested.
Speaking of his own part in the af-

SAYS FAULT Is
IN MARKETING
NO SURPLUS OF PEACHES
EXPERIENCE OF MORRILTON
ASSOCIATION CITED BY
G. L. MAYS.

In a communication in today's Ar
kansas Gazette, G. L. Mays, general
agent for the Faulkner County Truck
Growers Association and other SINH
lar organizations, contends that there
is no overplus of peaches, the trouble
in disposing of the crop occurring
when peaches are consigned to the
market instead of being sold at the
shipping point. Exaggerated reports
of the size of the crop, he states, are
also partially responsible for a de-
pressed market. Mr.. Mays letter
follows:
81 notice in every paper published
in Arkansas stories about the large
liberia peach crop. The facts are
there is no oversupply of peaches,
but there is big oversupply Of
would-be marketing agents. For in
stance, Van Buren, advertises 800
cars. Van Buren, will not ship one
half of 800 cars. What is the idea
of the fruit buyers when they read
these advertisements? Cheap peaches,
of course. If the growers will learn
how to grade and pack their fruit
honestly and put it in the hands of
experienced marketing agents and let
these agents advertise facts, there
will be no trouble in making f. o. b.
sales at reasonable prices.
In the three years the Morrilton
Association has been in business it
has never consigned a single car. The
associations fruit is graded and
packed right and the buyers know
this and are on the ground with cash.
Morrilton and Plumerville will have
about 100 cars of Elbertas and now
have orders for more than one-haf
the output. Other associations can
do the same with the proper method
of handling. G. L. MAYS.

the entire county. The committee on
decoration will have the benches,
purchased from the Episcopal church
grounds as soon as the grading is
reprinted and ready to place in the
completed and settled sufficiently.
Mr.. Douglass reports the band as
ready to give open-air concerts as
soon as other things are in readiness.
The work on the bandstand will be
begun when the grading of the
grounds is in right condition. A new
committee is to be appointed by the
president to attend to the erection of
the bandstand.
Several new names have been en-
tered in the contest for the Denney

There is very noticeable improve
ment in many of the yards.

that the mayor be requested to ap-
point general cleaning day at an
early date, also that he enforce the

BLOCK SYSTEM IS
NOW Is OPERATION

The manual block signal system,
installed on the central division of
the Iron Mountain railway several
weeks ago, was put in regular opera
ton for the first time today. The
system is designed to decrease the
possibility of collisions. A "block" is
the track from one telegraph station
to another, and no train is allowed
to enter "block" until it is clear of
other trains, except under certain
conditions where special precaution-
airy instructions are given. Tele-
phones are installed at all "blind sid
ings,' and when trains have orders
to meet at these places, the conductor
is required to report to the nearest
telegraph station as soon as his train
is in the clear on the siding.

START A CRUSADE
AGAINST SPLITTING
COURT ROOM IS CLEANED
OFFICERS WILL ENDEAVOR TO
STOP FILTHY PRACTICE
DURING COURT.

For the first time probably in the
history of the county, efforts will be
made on the part of the county off
GERS to keep the courtroom in a clean,
sanitary condition during the session
of circuit court, which cOnvenes here
Monday. In past years no restric-
ton has ever been placed on those
persons who chew tobacco for the
purpose of getting the juice out of it,
and after four or five days of court
overshoes or rubber boots have been
needed to navigate the courtroom.
All this is to be changed at the
Forthcoming session. Deputy Sheriff
C. o. Payne has had gang of men
busily engaged all day in scrubbing
and cleaning up the circuit court
room, and Circuit Clerk j. H. Hartje
has had printed a lot of placards
bearing the words Don't Spit on the
Floor-$5.00 Fine" which will be
posted about the courthouse. The
suggestion will be made to the pre-
siding judge that he make this fine
real penalty instead of threat, and it
is thought he will do so.
The court will be conducted by
Judge H. N. Hutton of Mariana,
who has exchanged circuits for the
term with Judge Eugene Landlord of
DeVall's Bluff. The docket is COM
paratively heavy one, and unless a
