Iof an entrance as the Marble Cave, and which also carries and underground stream. It is not so large and does not have the strange and curious formations of the former, but it is one of the
 points of interest.
 There are two blowing caves Ii in the Arkansas Ozarks, one
 near Batesville and one in Searcy
 County, near Big Flat. All sum-
 mer long a cold blast blows from their mouth. In the winter they suck instead of blow, owing probably to the difference in the atmospheric conditions. The cave near BatesvilIe opens on the banks of White River and has been exploited as a health resort.
 It is Claimed that the air that comes from this cave will cure hay fever. At one time, not many years ago, a company was formed to build a hotel over this cave and to use the air that came from it's mouth as the sole venti- lation for the building. They in- tended to operate it as a semi hotel and sanitarium for hay fever victims during the months which this malady is prevalent
 The ore-bearing leaves of the Arkansas Ozarks have been con- fined to the mineral belt and have invariably been broken.into by miners, having no known outlet. The fact that they con- tained zinc ore is probably due to this reason, for had they had an outlet the ore would have passed off in solution, as it is soluable in water. Three very distinct openings been discover ed during the past two years in the mining district, one at the Red Cloud mine on Rnsh Creek. another at the Philadelphia mine on Clabber Creek, both in Marion County, another at Madison mine in Boone County, near Zinc. Both of the openings iu Marion County had been practically filled with ore. tallow clay and rock. In some places this formation was soft, and in other places it had been solidly welded to- gether by the water carrying lime and zinc in solution.
 The opening at the Madison IS we'll defined and has been ex- plored as far back in the noun tain as a mile and a half, and the end was not reached then. In this cavern in many places one has to crawl, the roof Is so low. In other places it opens out wide and forms chambers. Some places it is like a hillside and one can look down 20 feet to the bottom of the other sidewall, which at this place is full of curiously wrought portals of sev- eral feet across that open into other passages. You can hear water always running sometimes above you and sometimes below. (Continued on Second Page)

 The enthusiasm of the workers was apparent in every movement made in the futherance of the good roads cause. About sixty men left Brinkley early Wednes- day morning for the Cache River bottoms, and they were joined by eager and willing workers all along the way.

 The logging party who are going over the route of the Southern National Highway were in Texarkana last night. Leaving there this morning they will commence logging the route across the state, arriving in Little Rock about next Wednes- day, and after a short stay in that city they will be in Brinkley the following day.
 The party will be composed of A. L. Westgaard, official path finder for the American Auto mobile Association, Dell M. Pot ter, president of the Southern National Highway Association, a corps of highway engineers representing the Federal High way Bureau, the several bureaus of the states through which the route passes, newspaper cores pondents, a representative of the Associated Press, and one of the leading descriptive magazine writers in the country. At For rest City they will be joined by the party making the dedication tour from that city to Memphis, this trip being postponed that it might be made in company with the logging party.
 Preparations are being made by the business men of this city to receive the party when they arrive here and make their visit a pleasant one. It is planned to meet them at either De Vall's Bluff, or Hazen, it not being decided which yet, and pilot them through from there to For rest City. Every automobile own CT in Brinkley is expected to aid in this by meeting the log ging party at the point selected. While here they will be enter tained hv the Elk'S Club.

COTTON TOOK SHARP
DECLINE YESTERDAY
SIuInped Is Points in Local
Market

A sharp decline of fifteen points in
the cotton futures market yesterday
put the price in Americus down below
the twelve cents point, except for the
very best grades of which there is lit
tie offering. Americus warehousemeu
could account for the unexpected break
in values only in the fact that mills
seem pretty well supplied with cotton
at present, and will be contented t.
wait and watch new crop develop
ments. 1t was believed for time that
the threatened food in the Mississippi
delta would tend to advance values
sharply, but this has not been true as

What TO PLANT In
A LAWN FLOWER BED
Petunia and PhIOX in Varied
COIOrS

The lover of flowers frequently has
a half-formed plan in mind of what
she would like in her garden, but be-
cause she is not familiar enough with
the different flowers to decide Jn
what is needed to enable her to carry
her plan to completion it is finally
abandoned. For instance, she NAV
think that a large bed on the lawn
could be made an attractive featul g
of the home grounds. What shall SIZE
put into it to bring about the desired
result?
There are several plants that cal
be used for this purpose with fine eff
feet One is the petunia. 1t blooms
freely during the entire season AMI
gives a very brilliant show of color
when the darker varieties are used. 1T
is only when this plant is massed that
its decorative possibilities are fully re-
allied. If the center of large circul-
ar bed is filled with crimson varieties,
and white petunias are used as d
border the effect will be charming To-
ward the last of Summer the old
plants begin to look rather the worse
for wear" but if you go over the bed
and cut back every plant in it to with
in few inches of the ground, in a
short time new branches will start,
ard almost before you know it tn )
plants will have renewed themselves.
You Will get from them a profusion o.
fine flowers until the coming of frost.
Certainly no flower could give great
or satisfaction, but do. not make the
mistake of using double petunias for
bed of this kind. Attractive as the
double varieties may be they are not
adapted to bedding purposes.
A most attractive bed is made with
little trouble by planting phlox drum
mondi in rows, making use of the
white, pink and pale yellow varieties.
Such a combination will afford great
pleasure to the eye. If more bra-
liant effect is desired, use the scarlet
or bright carmine kinds. 1t is we'll TO
use white in whatever combinations is
made because it furnishes the contrast
needed to bring out most effectively
the beauty of other colors. The pale
yellow varieties of this flower can 3e
used to excellent advantage as, like
the white, they harmonic delightfully."-

As Result Of Murder Of
Melvin

Rochelle, Ca, April 12. = Sheriff
Gibbs and a posse who set out today
to run down the blacks who had
threatened trouble and who are want
ed in connection with the Melvin
murder, sent word this afternoon that
they must have reinforcements ut
once. The officers have encountered
the band near Tippetsville, in Dooly
county, ten miles from railroad
The blacks are heavily armed and
have defied arrest. Sheriff Gibbs has
called upon the sheriffs at Vienna,
Cordele and Hawkinsville to rush to
his assistance State troops will like

Wilcox county has never been so
stirred in all her history by any crime
as over the murder CT young Leon Mel
vim, 17-year-old son of J. c. Melvin,
one of the best known and wealthiest
planters of this community. Since
the tragic happening of last Sunday
evening, events have been culminaC-
irg so fast and furious until the citi-
zens are wondering just what will hap
pen next.
Yesterday two negroes in custody
of Chief of Police Collins and posse
of deputies, were taken from the Of
ficer by crowd of masked men, fog
ged with buggy whips, and ordered
to leave the county within six hours.
The crowd which overpowered the
sheriff numbered half hundred well
armed men.
Resistance was useless, as they eS-
pressed to the police oficer and his
force determination to take the prison
era at any cost Every man in the
crowd had a gun or pistol, and bouu-
tiful supply of ammunition.
Three men are under arrest charged
with the crime. They are w. A. Cole
nan, Jim Coleman and W. H Stevens.
Early today one of w. A. Coleman s
negro farm hands rode into town or
one of Coleman's horses. He was Il
once taken into custody.
Following the overpowering of the
police chief and the flogging of the
two negroes, Sheriff Gibbs and his
deputies went to the scene post haste
in automobiles in an effort to catch
the negroes who were beaten and
later released and are still on the
hunt. The officers are. also looking
for other persons in connection with
the crime.
