were unalterably opposed TO an extra
session of the legislature, and another
bond issue.

Jury Is Reinstructed.
When court opened the jurors told
of a number of points of difference
and said it was doubtful whether
verdict could be reached Judge Sta.

magnitude he felt he must send the
Jury back with a few words Of caution
and advice. He declared the jury had
not been sworn to do other than to
reach one conclusion-the guilt or in.
Docence of the accused man. He said
If the jurors lost sight of that issue in
any private individual opinion they did
wrong to themselves, and violation Of
their solemn obligation and grave in.

to the accused man.

Hillsville is not known, but there was
no reason for such fears. Armed de-
tectives searched persons entering thel

Little Rock.-In answer TO the call
issued some time ago by Gov. Dona-
ghey the flood relief conference of
representatives Of various sections OF
he flooded district in the state met
At the Chamber Of Commerce. They
discussed the condition of the peO-
pie in the flooded area, means of re-
lief and adopted resolutions to be sent
TO congress in an effort to secure seed,
farming implements and money.
Reports of the exact conditions OF
the people and the extent Of the dam
age were not so alarming as was eX,
pected, but II was decided to cen
tralize the relief work so that all plans
may be carried out in a systematic
manner and all relief organizations
may work in conjunction.
1t was at first thought that govern
ment aid would be stopped. and this
was the primary reason for the calling
of the conference. but since such aid
is practically assured the people, it is
said, are taking optimistic views Of
the situation.
Mayor J. L. Scott of Forrest City
stated that the people of his district
have been amply provided for and that
no further aid from the government
will be necessary except in the district
flooded by the break at Modoc
Mayor Hugh Martin of Helena and

conditions not at all unf9yorable and
stated that refugees have been well
cared for in their sections with the
MD of the government They said it
would only be a matter Of short time
until outside aid could be dispensed
with
{. W. Watson, state agent for the
United States department of agrieul-
ture said THAI the NEST serious prob
lem facing the farmers was the pro-
curing of seed TO insure early maturing
crops. as planting will be extremely
late this season. The committee
adopted resolutions asking the de-
partment to provide an expenditure OF
a part of the government relief fund
TO assist in providing seeG fer dis
tribction among the Farmers of the
lowlands. A copy OF this resolution
was telegraphed to congress.
Probably the most unfavorable re-
port was given by Mayor E. 2. Toney
of Lake Village, who stated the water
in his city had receded only T. inches
since it reached its highest stage and
is now from one 10 five feet deep.
He said that Lake Village is still
practically isolated from the outside
world and that the surrounding terri
tory owing to its lowness. will prob
ably suffer more than any other sec
ton of the Mississippi delta

the refugees in Chicot county were
