HOODOO DOCTOR AGAIN IN
THE COILS.

A case that attracted much in
terest in the City Court, presided
over by Judge S. Q. Nuckolls
last Thursday morning was that
Of the State Of Louisiana versus
one. Jos. Thibodeaux and Base
line Coop, both negroes. For
a number OF years this negro
Thibodeaux has been posing as a
cure Of all ills and extracting
hundreds of dollars from the ne
groes and a few ignorant white
people who were carried away
with his supposed cures. Since
DR.. Shaw has been Coroner he
has been Trying to obtain evil
dence that would land the negro
behind the bars and this week
syAficient proof that the negro
was practicing without a license
came to his notice by colored
man who had been himself
mulcted out Of $500 without any
results accruing to his sick child.
This negro acted as a main wit
ness. Several other witnesses
also testified, one being a hack
driver who said that he had been
bringing people to Thibodeaux's
house for seven long years.
Another witness who WAS sum-
moned for the accused testified
that Thibodeaux did not charge
for administering medicine, he
only accepted money for "cnt-
ing the cards." that had to be
paid..in order for him to give the
patient the desired results. the
medicine would not act other
wise. This same witness when,
questioned by the Judge wheth-
.er he had ever seen money paid
over to the nscrupulOus doctor
stated he had not, but one white
lady who had came from White
Castle to be treated had told him
she had been benefited SO much
that she was going to give him
One Hundred and Fifty Dollars.
After all of the evidence Was
furnished by the accused as well
,as his Attorney, the Court re-
quested the guilty party to stand
aside until the other case was
called to the docket. This par
ty was an old cOlored woman
about the age of sixty. 1t was
readily seen by the evidence that
she was another who WAS prae
ticing without any icertse and
the Judge gave them both the
minimum fine, which was 5000
or sixty days in Jail. An appeal
was taken by both OF the guilty
parties which will likely come up
at the next criminal term.
These quack or hoodoo doc
tors who prey on the ignorant
should receive a punishment that
they will long remember. 1t is
susIb Using however how peo-
pie can be begulled into the
belief that these slick artists can
effect cures bv their witeheraft.
DIR. Shaw deserves the plaudits
Of the community for his efforts
i'm getting evidence to convict
Niibodeaux and Judge Nnck0lls
tor imposing a sentence that
horld have the desired affect.

LEAGUE MAKES NO
RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR ALDERMANIC OFFICES
TINE FOR FILING PLEDGES
WITH RECORDER ENDS
SATURDAY NIGHT.

No recommendations for the Office
of alderman were made to the Con-
way Civic League by it's advisory COM
mittee at last nights meeting. AS
the time for filing pledges to abide by
the new corrupt practices act ends to-
night, no further candidates can be
put in the field after this date, and if
the league decides to endorse alder
manic candidates it will have to select
from those who have announced or
filed pledges.

one, and on account of the snow a
light attendance was out The ad-
visory committee simply reported, ask
ing for further time, which was
granted and the league adjourned

act it is required of all who desire to
become candidates that they file
pledges with the city recorder 80 days

that they have read this act and will
abide by it's provisions. AS the pri-
mary will be held on March 3, this 30
day limit expires Sunday, making to-
day the last day on which the pledges

All of the known candidates for
mayor, marshal, recorder and treas
urer and several of the members of
the present board of aldermen have
already filed their pledges with Re-
corder Opie Hartje, and it is consid-
cred probable that several other alder

ABOUT $75 PER ACRE

AT commissioners sale at the
courthouse this afternoon, the ]. w.
flrestone place, consisting of 100
acres just west of Conway was sold
for $7,450, CT practically SIS an acre.

judgment for a one-ffth interest in
100 acres of land on the western edge
of this city. In the case of Firestone
the largest owner of land affected by
the decree, judgment was rendered
against Mcleod for 81, 400 for i'm
provements on the property, taxes
paid, etc. In order to clear his title
+ flrestone brought suit for the partir
tion of the lands and the sale was or
dered at the last term of chancery
court.
Judge Il B. Wilson of Russellville
represented Mcleod at the sale to-
day. Starting at $4,000, the bids rose
rapidly until $1,000 was reached.
Judge Wilson's last bid of 7,40O was
raised $50 by Mr.. Firestone and the
place was sold to it's present owner
j. R. Donnell conducted the sale for
the commissioners.

the party to his own tribe and ther,
help to establish the mission Thf
was granted him and the missionar,
party, of which Bishop Lambuth was
the leader, set forth for this particn
lar tribe. The natives warned then
that they were going among cannibal'
and that his tribe was a eannibal tribe
but begged to be allowed TO assist il
any way he could
When the missionaries arrived al
their destination, it was found that the
king of the tribe and the native mis-
sionary accompanying the expedition
were fast friends and through such
friendship the missionaries were as
sured of safety
Leopards are a menace in that sec.
tion, often destroying the inhabitants
OF small villages to the last man. The
king promised the missionaries that
their people would be under the pro.
lection of a special guard against all
dangers and whenever one of their
number went after bucket of water
or on any other errand. a guard would
accompany them.
When time came TO construct a
church, Or mission, a conference was
called, the result of which was that
the king ordered his head builder to
go into the forest, fell trees and build
the walls of a mission He ordered
his man at the head Of the squad that
rooted the huts to gather poles and
thatch and roof the structure and the
plasterer to get his crew o. women to-
gether and prepare the clay for plas
tering when the building was com
plete.
The structure is now nearing com
pletion and there are three families
of missionaries from the United
States on the ground at work. Dem
onstrative of the confidence bestowed
upon the king by Bishop Lambuth,
when he left Africa for the United
States. he told the king he was going
to the great council in the United
States and that he wanted to leave his
children in his care The king very
readily consented and promised that
every attention and protection should
be theirs until their fathers return.
