NEGRO WANTED
FOR MURDER
Captured Here Saturday BY
Sheriff McCuistiOn and De-
putty Tasting.

A negro passing under the
name of Will Johnson and want
ed at Beulah, Mississippi, for
the murder Of negro woman
and the shooting of a white
man, who tried to arrest him.
was arrested Saturday after
noon in this city by Sheriff Nc
QUESTION assisted by Deputy j. I.
Tasting.
/ The negro had been traced to
Memphis, but the officers there
allowed him to get away be-
cause they lacked the nerve to
tackle him at one time, when he
was pointed out. Track of him
was lost for the time, but later
Johnson wrote his wife from
Brinkley and asked her to write
to him at Newport. Postmas-
ter Grubbs was notified and ask
ed to call upon the local officers
when johnson should apply for
his mail.
Saturday afternoon Johnson
made his appearance at the gen.
eral delivery window and when
he left was Swallowed by Mr..
Grubbs who at the same time
sent word to the sheriff.
The negro who weighs about
100 pounds and is known as a
desperate criminal, was pointed
out to the officers. Seated upon
a box with large stick in his
hand, the officers approached
even with him on the walk,
when the sheriff suddenly drew
his gun and ordered the negro
to throw up his hands. He did so
and was soon locked up in the
county jail.
Later he confessed his guilt
| to Sheriff McCuistion and was
taken back to Beulah Sunday
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff M.
Rosenfeld.

COTTON CONDITION
AND ACREAGE
Condition S3.l Per Cent of Nor
NAL and Acreage Increase
2.7 Per Cent.

Replies from correspondents
as of date of May 21st indicates
percentage condition for the
cotton crop throughout the
south of 83.l per cent of normal
and an acreage increase of 2.7
per cent over last year. This is
an increase of a little less than
100000 acres over last sea
sons planting.
1t is worthy of note that the
highest condition coupled with
the biggest acreage increases
are given from the Mississippi
Valley states and the southwest
and that in the Atlantic states
the returns are low. In Georgia,
the CarOlinas and parts of Ala
bama much of the cotton had
not come up at the time these
reports were made and this is
the reason for the low percent
ages shown. In places less than
rs per cent was up. Recent
rains have done something to
rectify this. Considerable i'm
provement was shown during
the week in Texas and rains
were beneficial wherever they
fell.
Rains of the past three days
have supplied moisture in suffi-
cient or abundant quantity in
all save a few sections of GeOr-
gia and South Carolina and the
crop is in position to advance
rapidly with bright warm wea-
Their.

Highway Board Completed.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 26.-At last
the vacancies on the State High
way Commission are to be filed.
Acting Governor j. M. Futrell
will today appoint C. w. Highfill
of Paragould, and A. S. Kilgore
of Magnolia, as the members of
this commission, and both will
accept. Acting Governor Flu
trell is not taking any more
chances with people declining
appointment on this Board, and
has secured the acceptance of
the positions before rendering
them.
Mr.. Highfill is an attorney of
Paragould, and one of the best
known boosters of that section
of the state. He has always
accompanied the Arkansas on
Wheel trips and done much for
his section of the state by adj
vertising it. He is a good roads
enthusiast. Mr.. Kilgore was a
member of the Arkansas legis
lature a number of years ago,
serving at the same time as Act
ing Governor Futrell. The ac-
ouaintance at that time was so
favorable that the acting gov
ernor has been considering Mr..
Kilgore for the appointment al
most from the first. Mr.. Kill
gore has served as prosecuting
attorney of his district, and is
recognized as one of the leading
men of his community.
The new members of the COM
mission are expected to meet
with r. G. Dye, the chairman OF
the commission, before the end
of the week and organize. A Sc
crtary and engineer will then be
selected and the work, which
has been delayed for several
weeks on account of those ten
dered the appointments declin-
ing to accept, will actively begin.
Ouite a few road districts have
been planned, but have been

ATLANTA GIRLS
BUY MILLINERY
MADE At HOME
Half the Hats Seen on Peachtree
Street Are Made Here, but
the Fact Is UnheraIded.

Half the women's hats seen on
Peachtree Street are made right in
Atlanta.
The fair peachtree promenaders
don't know it; the milliners they pat
ronize don't know IT; in many cases
the jobbers themselves don't know 1t.
There are three factories in Atlanta
making womens hats, of straw, felt,
plush hemp and the myriad other
materials which go to bedeck milady's
colffure and frame her pretty face.
But as soon as the hat leaves these
factories the manufacturers lose their
Identity. The hat is marked with the
jobber's label It may be marked
New York, Philadelphia New Orleans
or even London. The fact that II Is
made in Atlanta is nowhere to be dis
covered.
one manufacturer tells, with a
grin. of Atlanta milliners who
STOCKED up" in New York-with At
lanta- made hats. ~
Altogether. it is an interesting bust
ness.
The American Hat Manufacturing
Company, one of the largest of the
three Atlanta factories, imports
straws direct from China, Japan,
sItaly and Germany. These straws
are plated abroad. and either are
dyed there or bleached and dyed In
Camden, n. ],
Japan sends hemp braid. Italy fur
nishes the milans, leghorns and tus-
cans. Germany furnishes a peculiar
material known as Neapolitan braid,
which. though few know it, is made
from American cotton. China fur
nishes coarse Straws.
So much for the straws. The felt
bodies come from abroad, in the
rough-queer. looking toadstools Of
various shades Silks, ribbons, vel
vets, plushes and ornaments are car
ried in quantity enough to stock dry
goods store of large proportions.
Just now the factories are busy
with the hats to be worn this fall and
winter, and with misses and chill
dren's hats for spring, 1914.
Sample rooms already are filled
with fall and spring lines. dazzling
arrays of colors, and seemingly in al
most every shape, but with smaller
hats predominating.
The making of hat may be said to
| begin in the room where a skilled
workman makes plaster molds accu-
rately defining the shapes. From
| these plaster affairs, metal dies ART
| made. These dies are put in tbs
| presses and heated by gas flames

| From the presses the velvet anC
| plush hats go to a workman who
steams them and brushes up the mai
to it's original beauty.
The straw shapes are made in the
factory. Ingeniously designed sewing
machines, manipulated by skillfu
girls, sew the braid round and round
until a tiny knot grows into a gigantic
hat In the straw sea son $50 girls
are busy at these machines.

"All the machinery, all the

IT firmly believe a perma-
nent exhibit will bring to At

more business than all the
other things we have done put

Chairman of the Exhibit Com
mittee.
Five years ago, you could
sell solid carloads of one line

can not do it now. This plan
will enable you to make up

are doing it. Atlanta must,

visitor manifests interest in one line
or several let him telephone at once
to the manufacturers of these lines
to send a salesman. / believe, too,
that manufacturers in the outskirts
of the city will find it profitable TO
use the exhibit building for their
downtown office. This is done else
where with profit.
Atlanta should have four times
the payroll it now has. This is the
way to go about it."
EVansViIle's Experience.
Boiling H. Jones told of the eX-
perience of Sc furniture manufactur-
ers in Evansville, Ind, who put up a
building and displayed their lines in
it, keeping the ground floor for their
offices. They find it easier to get
prospective customers to look at their
wares, and also find the selling cost
cut to per cent.
That convinced me-" said Mr..
Jones. Did any manufacturer here
ever sell goods for 8 per cent mer-
Chandising cost? This argument
alone seems to me unanswerable."
He spoke of the changes which have
come about in the Southern field
within five years. No longer is it
possible to sell a merchant a full car
load of one line. Therefore, he ar
