When will our farmers learn that
large cotton crop always means
low prices and a medium crop gen.
orally commands good prices? 1t
is a history of fat and lean years.
Short crops and good prices are
invariably followed by big crops
and low prices. Why? Because
when the prices are good one year
the acreage is increased the next
year, and so on. This condition
can be overcome when we learn
that prices are ruled absolutely by
supply and demand. This is true
of every other marketable product.
No. 666 will cure chills and fever
1t is the most speedy remedy we
know.

LIsTON BROS. IN TROUBLE

The Liston boys, living down In
the Taos country, have bumped up
against the authorities in that vicin-
ity for alleged horse stealing.
1t seems. the Listens were r.. est-
ed some two weeks ago and given a
preliminary hearing. They were
bound over to the grand jury that
will sit on this case on June 8.
The Journal is informed that they
had quite bunch OF horses in their
possession when they were arrested
that belonged to other parties.
The Listens once lived in the vic
Unity of Alamosa, but of late years
drifted over the line into New Mex
leo.
We understand that to the Anti
Horse Thief association Is due the
credit of fastening the charge uD'.n
the Listens and of having them
brought up against the law.-Ala-

"BLACK TEXAS"
Sentenced to Die In the
Electric Chair.

Abraham Smith, alias, "Black Texas,
man" throughout the local Chesapeake
+& Ohio division who was arrested in
Portsmouth Friday night on suspicion of
being implicated in the murder of En-
gineer Joseph Q. Gibson Thursday night
of last week at Ashland, and who was
iater identified as "Black Texas" the
negro who fired the fatal shot, was
spirited out of the Portsmouth Jail and
slipped into the Boyd county Jail at Cat
lettsburg by Sheriff Geige-.
Smith was captured last Friday night
by the Portsmouth police after a run
ming pistol battle through the railroad
yards there. He fought desperately un.
til his supply of ammunition was ex-
hAusted but was finally captured after
he had thrown his revolver away. He
was confined in the Portsmouth Jail on
suspicion Of the murder but at that time
nothing definite was known against him
Saturday morning Fireman Griffith,
of Ashland, who was with Gibson when
identified the negro as one of the quar-
tet who robbed him and killed Gibson.
About the same time, two negroes, Cal
loway and Bailey, confined in the Ash
land Jail on suspicion of the crime, con-
fessed that they were in the gang and
swore that BLACK Texas" bad negro,
had fred the shot which killed Gibson.
They described the man and gave a min
ute description of the gun which "Black
Texas carried and which was used in
the murder.
While in the Portsmouth Jail, Abra.
ham Smith was recognized and identi-
fled as being BLACK Texas" Confront
ed with these details BLACK Texas"
confessed his identity and admitted he
was in the gang that killed Engineer
Gibson but swore that a negro known as
"Blue Steel' fired the fatal shot.
Such hot feeling had been aroused
among the citizens of Ashland and the
rallroaders on the Big Sandy division, of
the chesapeake g. Ohio, that the offic-
ials determined to avoid locking "Black
Texas" in the Ashland Jail and it was
decided to slip him into the Boyd coun-
'ty Jail instead.
"Black Texas" has been indicted
by Boyd county grand jury and
will be given trial this week
Kenova Reporter, Sept. IL.
"Black Texas" was tried by a Boyd
county jury in the circuit court at Cat
lettsburg last week and was found guilty
of murder in the first degree. Judge
Halbert sentenced the negro to be cleo
trocuted November 10Th next at Eddy
vile, near Frankfort, the state prison.
Blue Steel" "RoadspOrt," and
"Stonewall," the other three members
of the murder gang, are at large.
