Today, a few minutes before noon, he went into room and locked the door. When one of his sons attempted to en- ter the room he found the door locked and immediately broke the lock. As soon as MT Bryant saw him he said, i've done it; I've done it." and lapsed into state of unconsciousness, from which he never recovered.

HOME GROWN FOOD
 FOR XMAS DINNER

Little Rock, Nov. 13-One of the interesting and unique features of the agricultural campaign now under way in Arkansas is the proclamation issued by Gov. Hays calling upon the citizens of the state to have a Christ mas dinner consisting only of Arkan- sas grown food products. The proc lamation is as follows:
 Whereas, the great state of Ar kansas is now initiating movement to feed herself and encourage the production of all the necessary food for man and beast, and,
 Whereas, the crisis resulting from a demoralized cotton market makes it imperative that the citizens of this state make every effort to grow the things we should eat, which will re- suit in great diversifcation of crops and food stuffs instead of de- voting all of our energy to the cotton industry, and,
 Whereas, Arkansas now produces a great variety of meats, fruits, veg etables and other food products, and the greater production of these diver sified foodstuffs should be encouraged to the end that this state may feed herself first and then have something to sell of her surplus.
 Therefore, I do hereby recommend and request that everyone living with in the borders of our state prepare suitable menu of Arkansas food prod ucts, but Arkansas grown food shall be served on this happy occasion.
 ''It is further recommended that the press of the state of Arkansas, the women's clubs and other organiza- tions, farmers and individuals coop crate in this movement and that Christmas day shall be set aside to celebrate Grown In Arkansas food products"

finally passed upon the case, and the day of execution has been fixed by the governor. The commission is there Tore Tn a great dilemma, to know whom to obey. The supreme court and the governor have decreed the execution tomorrow, and it has been enJolned by the chancery court. If the execution IS carried out, will the commission be in contempt of the chancery order? and if it is deferred. will they act in disobedience of the orders of the governor?

UNIQUE QUESTION C0NFR0NTS STATE HODGES ELECTROCUTION IS GIVING GOVERNOR AND PENN COMMISSIONERS
 MUCH WORRY.

Little Rock, Nov. 13.-Will Arthur Hodges be electrocuted at the state penitentiary tomorrow, Nov. IA?
 That is a question that no one would assume to answer Thursday night. Gov Hays said the matter had passed beyond him, and that he would have nothing more to do with the case. Attorney General Moose said that he had never been consulted of ficially in the matter, that no request had been made of him to join in any conference to discuss the subject, and that he knew nothing of it except what he had read in the newspapers. No member of the Penitentiary Con- mission would say word about it last night, except that there was nothing to be said authoritatively, and no decision had been reached as to what would be done
 "I cannot see how the commission can proceed to execute the boy when it has been formally enjoined by Chancellor Martineau," said Grover Owens, counsel for the condemned "The chancellor issued an order re- straining the execution on Saturday, Nov. IA, or until after an examina- tion is made by the county court into the sanity of the accused. County Judge Asher has set Monday, Nov. 23, as the date for such inquiry
 The situation is unique, and there is no precedent to guide the authori- ties in the premises. The question is whether or not a chancery court has jurisdiction to prevent legal execu- tiCn after the supreme court has
