WILL BRIDGEMANN ACQUITTED
Indicted for Murder of Brother
Pleaded Self Defense.
(AnderSon Mail, 13th.)


Will Bridgemann, a Young white
man Of PelZer, charged with murder,
was acquitted by a jury in the Court
Of General Sessions Wednesday
morning. Young Bridgemann killed
his brother Richard 1t their home in
Pnlzer n night in February last.
Will and Richard Bridgemann had
been out together on the night Of
the homicide. Will had taken two
or three drinks of whiskey, but was
not intoxicated. Richard had taken
more liquor than his brother, and on
arriving at their home he stopped on
the outside. When he came in the
house Will Bridgemann asked Rich
ard why he had nOt come in at first,
whcreupon Richard drew his knife
and advanced on Will. He slashed
Wills coat and then cut him on the
neck as deep as the bone.
Will Bridgemann then drew his
pistol and fired on Richard, killing
him. 1t was clearly a case of self
defense. The jury was out only a
few minutes.

OUR WEEKLY LETTER
 FROM JOHN H. PAGE
Interesting Letters for
 the Farmers
ALL PARTS OF THE FARM WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THESE
 INSTRUCTIVE LETTERS

Tbe apparent deficiency in farming plans in Arkansas is in the raising of corn, grains. hay and forage for live stock, and in the raising of live stock to consume it. I have treated this subject in so many letters that an another along this line would seem like an unnecessary one, but the matter is so important at this time 1 will mention it again.
 The greatest shortage is in the hay and forage crop. The census of 1910 shows that Arkans a s farmers produced 1,021, 158 tons of grain suitable for stock feed, and the oil mills produced 233, 064 tons of cotton seed meal and hulls, from cotton seed grown in Arkansas, making a total of 1,254.2 tons of dry feed for stock. At that that time we had 3, 335,000 head of live stock. With the long pasturage season and accounting for the sale and slaughter of meat producing stock, there was enough feed produced to care for all stock, except the hay and forage. However, there was a great shortage of hay. For that year Arkansas produced 461,817 tons of hay and forage. Had there been plenty of hay in proportion there would have been ample feed stuff raised for that year. From year to year the same conditions have existed. We do not raise enough hay and forage. And yet it is our cheapest as well as best feed, and Arkansas land will grow hay and forage as abundantly and cheaply as that of any state in the Union. Let more attention be given to hay and forage crops, and our stock will be better fed, and more salable on the market, and in addition we will find more stock in the State and on the farms. Let the bankers and merchants take live stock as a basis of credit on the farm instead of cotton, and the landlords encourage the tenants to grow live stock, and our general condition will soon change for the better.
 have seen a statement ema- hating from some of the con- mercial bodies to the effect that Arkansas spent $75, 100000 for food stuff shipped into the State last year. In the first place the statement is misleading. It raises the presumption that the farmers failed by that much to raise enough to feed themselves. That of course is not a fact. A crop report for 1910 will show that the farmers of Arkansas raised enough on the farms to feed themselves and more. The trouble was that each and every one did not do so. Some failed and others raised a surplus. A perfect marketing system of agricultural products in Arkan- sas would soon show that Arkan- sas farmers can and will feed themselves and all other Arkan- sas people, if given the proper encouragement by tn ose to whom the people must look for aid in making their crops.
 Since this statement has been made, that Arkanss imported $75, 900, 900 worth of food stuff last year, l would like to see the authoritative figures upon which the statement is made. If it is an error, it should not be repeated, because it is damaging to the State. If it is true in fact, it does the state no good to be repeating 1t. JOHN H. PAGE,
 Commissioner of Agriculture.

Mosive Power In Norway.

The greatest single factor in the possible Industrial development of Norway lies undoubtedly in its cheap and abundant hydroeleotric power. The country having practically no coal resources, the Norwegian industries are coming to depend more and more upon the utilization of waterfalls as a primary motive power source.
