TWO PARDONED NEGROES
HELD IN COUNTY JAIL
Both Were Among Governor Dom
aghey's $50 PardOned in 1912.
Will Probably be Compelled
to Finish Other Term.

Two negroes, Nit Garrison and Am
brosia Afford are held in Jail here
awaiting probable terms in the state
penitentiary.
Garrison was tried and convicted
three years ago in circuit court of
burglarizing the jewelry store of T.
S. Bryan in Prescott. He was SEN
fenced to two years in the peniten-
tiary and after having served the
greater part of his time, was pardon
ed by Governor Donaghey. He was
arrested last week for burglary and
grand larceny committed again at the
home of T. S. Bryan on West Main
Street some time in January and was
given a preliminary hearing before
Mayor Handy and held for grand jury
His bond was fixed at $650.00 which
he was unable to give and will pro-
bably remain in Jail until July term
of court convenes.
The other negro. Ambrosia Afford
was sent to the penitentiary from
Ouachita county for grand larceny and
after serving a portion of his sentence
was also favored with a conditional
pardon by Governor Donaghey. He
was arrested here last week charged
with carrying concealed weapons,
found guilty and fined $4,000 and
costs and is now confined in the county
Jail.
The pardons issued by Governor
Donaghey were to be null and void if
the ones receiving them violated any
laws of Arkansas. Garrison and AL
ford will both probably be returned to
the penitentiary to complete their un-
expired terms.

OIL COMPANIES LOOK ON PEN
Atty SUITS AS PERSECUTION
Claim that Seed in Arkansas this Year
Is of Inferior Grade and That
Price Paid is as High
As Other States

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-Officials of the
big oil companies of Arkansas look
upon the penalty suits filed against
them recently by the Attorney Gener-
al, as persecution. They are alleged
with being in an unlawful combine,
but the operators declare the only
evidence of such a combination is con-
tanned in the assertion of the Attor-
ney General. The state association of
cotton seed crushers dissolved several
years ago, and since then the opera
tors claim there has been no meeting
of the men engaged in that business.
at is asserted" said one of the oil
men in discussing the suits, that we
are paying only $15 or $18 for seed,
where seed is bringing as high as
$2S in the Carolinas. We admit this,
and regret that such is the case. We
wish it was possible for us to pay the
higher price, but quality must play an
important part in the price of seed.
and this year there is no seed of quail
ty in Arkansas. have purchased one
car of prime seed this year, paying
$26 per ton for it, which compares
pretty well with the Carolina prices.
"There being no prime seed in Ar
kansas, we cannot make prime meal.
Meal made in Arkansas this year is as
black as your hat. We do not get
first grade oil from it, and the percen-
tage of oil is much less than the
prime grade.
"The car of seed purchased had to
, be shipped to Louisville, KY, for none
of the mills in Arkansas could handle
it. The machinery must be changed
to handle prime seed in order to get
all the oil from it. If we were to use
prime seed in our mills the oil would
all go in with that of the cheaper seed,
and we would not profit.
''If the grade OF seed next year is
better, or had it been this year, there
would be no complaint about the price.
All mills must have seed, and they are
, willing to pay the price"

OWNERS AND OPERATORS
WILL FILE PROTEST
Want Congressman Taylor to Serve
on Congressional Committee to
Investigate Mine Distur-
Dances in Colorado.

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-Owners of coal
property and coal mine operators of
Arkansas will send to Congressman
Sam M. Taylor a protest against his
reported refusal to serve upon a Con-
gressional Committee to investigate
the mine disturbances in Colorado.
While no coal is mined in the dis
trict represented by Col. Taylor, he is
known personally to most of the coal
operators of Arkansas, and they are
desirous of having him take an inter
est in matters pertaining to the min
ing of coal, even though, in this case,
the question in no way involves Ar
kansas.
There has always been a disposi-
tion on the part of members of Con-
gress, States prominent operator,
"to dodge appointment on the mining
committee, seeking instead to get OH
one of the committees where there is
greater publicity. In England the
mining committee is considered as i'm
portant as the committee on foreign
relations. The strongest men are
placed upon the mining committee, but
in the United States, where mining
is really big item, men who are not
needed on the supposed big commit
tees, are assigned.
"The mining industry stands second
in the value of production. in the
United States. Agriculture comes
first with about $4,000, 100000 per an
nun and the government gives the
value of the annual mining out put at
S., 900, 100000. The agricultural esti-
mate contains figures which are doubl-
ed by counting the value of products
and then the value of the stock which
has fattened on the product. You can
not have your corn after it is fed to
the hog, so there is an evident doubl-
ing of valuations. The mining indus
try also creates 50 per cent of the
freight tonnage in the United States.
"In spite of the enormity of the
mining industry the government does
very little for US, spending about one
hundredth part of that given to the
agrculturalists. The mining industry
is hazardous, that of the agricultural
list healthful. The government does
little to assist US in determining how
to make the hazard less, or the life of
the man who must spend many hours
day under ground, more pleasant
"We need such men as Sam Taylor
on mining committees, and then the
mining industry will be recognized,
and mentioned sometimes with pride
instead of only for the purpose of
making an investigation. If the gov
ernment looks more into our business
the operators will be less censured. for
the people will learn the truth about
our business"

money draHa from tai throu%a the
}o@aI memaer.
Some oac /. t>c.r roud asked Sen
a,or smita what Ben Tjlman had
been doing. Fighting the world, the
flesh and the devil. the Junior sena-
tor was quick to retort.
Another wanted to Fnow now mucn
cotton the speaker planted. We'll,
a sight more than | can tend, guess,
was the reply.
Senator Smith dismissed the ac-
cusation taat Hoke Smith Of Georgia
was the auth-r Of one Of the Smith
bills by saying that "the Georgia SEN
ator had no more to do with intro
ducing tnat bill than he had to do
with the nebular hypothesis or the
plan of salvation"
Same Old Story.
lThe governor again today took Sen
ator Smith to task on the subject Of
"Haskellism when he said the sena-
tor tried to defeat Ben Tillman. He
also taxed the senator with voting,
while a member OF the State legisla-
ture. against a separate coach law.
He said that Senator Smith did not
favor a resolution, offered at the Bal
umore convention by Western dele
gate, to repeal the 14th amendment
OF the constitution of the United
States. He referred to the lynching
of a negro in Bamberg lnty for
attacking white girl and added:
"Yet some Of you here today are hol-
lering for man who voted to pay
$4,000 to any negro's family that was
lynched. That man is Senator Smith.
Gov. Blease again paid his respects
to the State convention and the new
urinary rules then formulated. These,
he said, were concocted in the Jeffer-
son MOTEL, Columbia. The delegates,
he said, did not act like Democrats
with Democrats, neither as if in con-
, vention, but rather in caucus behind
closed doors. Referring TO his par
dons, he said that he had pardoned
four already this week and would
pardon another when he got to Co.
lumbia tonight.
The governor at Bamberg today
said that the States correspondent
had misunderstood MIN at the Barn
we'll meeting in reporting that he had
said Senator Smith is Republican.
What the governor says he said on
the Barnwell platform was: Senator
Smith voted with the Republicans"
