JAIL BREAKERS
IN fHE Tolls
Vic Golden and James Parker,
Two Escaped Negroes Arrest
ed At GAINESVILLE.

Two of the negroes, who broke
Jail here Monday night August
4, have been arrested at Clarks-
dale, Mississippi, and are be-
ing held for Sheriff McCuistion,
who will probably leave tonight
to bring them back.
One of these negroes, Parker,
was the trusty whose theft of
the jail keys and treachery
made possible the escape, and
probably above all the others,
his capture was most to be de-
sired. Parker was first arrested
on the charge of stealing a
watch and clothing at Auvergne
and Golden was being held for
the burglary of Newport stores.

F0RGER ALSO A
HORSE THIEF
Jim Smith Under Arrest For
Forgery Proves Man Wanted
For Horse Stealing.

\ deputy sheriff from Gaines
VII, Ozark county, Missouri, ar
rived Saturday evening and next
morning departed with a pris-
Gner, jim Smith. under arrest
mere Tor forgery, but wanted in
Missouri for stealing a horse,
upon which he made his way to
this section.
Smith end a companion, Will
Shaw, were captured Thursday
evening on the Island by Sheriff
McCuistion, Deputy Hastings
and Abe Ballew of Weldon, but
as the officers had nothing upon
which to hold Shaw, the latter
was released.
Smith had entered the store
of Mcdonald & Bond at Weldon
and after buying certain goods,
offered a check on a Newport
bank in payment of same. Mr.
Bond managed to telephone the
Uank in the meanwhile and
earned that the bank carried no
such account.
Smith had become suspicious,
however, and proved fleet of
foot. The officers at Newport
were communicated with and
with Ballew after them from the
rear, their capture resulted near
Village creek. The officers had
q half mile run, however, before
he gave up.
The horse stolen by Smith has
changed hands several times
and is now the property of
Thurman West, who though an
innocent purchaser, may be
called upon to give up the animal,
worth $50 to SIS, to the own
er in Missouri.
When Smith was arrested
here w. S. Morgan and Mr..
Jones of Tupelo came up to see
if he was not the man who had
passed forged checks upon
them, but said that he was not.
Tasting & Jones cashed a
forged check for SIS and w. S.
Morgan & Son one for Sc, the
same white stranger having
worked the two firms.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 18.-Rec
ognized as great in many other
things, the state of Arkansas
is now recognized as great III
politics. The state of New
York has turned to Arkansas in
its present gubernatorial I'M
pleasantness, and requests OF
Secretary of State Hodges that
he send to the Attorney Gener-
al there, copy Of the proceed
ings in the impeachment pro-
ceedings brought against Pow
ell Clayton, Carpetbag governor
in 1871.
New York evidently expects to
take some pointers from Ark
ansas in the political game, and,
as remarked by Chief Justice
McCulloch of the Arkansas Su-
preme Court:
"New York took this idea OF
having two governors from Ar
kansas, but we can always claim
TO have had two first"

age to Cotton Crop.

Quite favorable weather for
cotton prevailed in the two Car
ollnas and Georgia during the
week ending August Is, and ex
cellent results were secured in
field growth and general devel-
opment. Showers at the end
of the week were helpful and
another favorable week is fore
casted from the present mois-
ture supply.
In Alabama, Mississippi, Ten
nessee and louisiana, some small
deterioration is noted, though it
is doubtful if the losses are any
greater if indeed as great, as
those usually occurring at this
period when the plant approach
es maturity. Shedding is report
ed, due in most instances, to
lack of moisture and in Lousi-
ana considerably increased boil
weevil damage.
In Texas and Oklahoma and
'over about half Of Arkansas
heavy losses occurred and the
plant is fast running into
state Of decline that cannot be
recovered even with favorable
weather and abundant rain
fall. Permanent and irrepara-
bic loss has however just begun
except in unfavored localities
and if rain comes during next
week in general and heavy fall
great good will be done.
|. Greatest loss has occurred in
Oklahoma, but over large areas
in these three states the plant
shows arrested development and
is rapidly losing vitality and
thus cannot properly mature the
fruit that had been set.
