MOBLEY TALKS ON
COTTON SITUATION
Speaks to Gathering of Farmers at
Jonesboro and Advises How Best
to Market Crop.

Jonesboro, Aug. 16.-More than
ion from this and adjoining coun-
ties heard H. S. Mobley, president
of the State Farmers Union, ex-
plain the methods which will be
used by the union in marketing the
cotton crop this fall. His address
was made at the annual picnic of
the county Farmers Union, held
here Saturday.
The plan provides for the bulk
ing of the seed and the selling of
the cotton by grade, so that the
farmers may reap the maximum
profit from their crop. Expert
graders will be procured by the
union and every local union in the
state may take advantage of this
opportunity in finding out the ex-
act grade and value of the pro-
ducts. The details of the plan will
be sent to all the members of the
union, and President Mobley urged
that they form at once their plans
for the handling of the crops
He also endorsed the four state
agricultural schools, and urged ev-
cry farm to stand by the schools
which, he said, are giving the farm
ers' sons and daughters an oppor-
tunity to secure an education that
will fit them to be good farmers
and good home makers. He en-
phasized the fact that the majority
of the boys and girls of Arkansas
are not able to meet the entrance
colleges, and that the four agricul
tural schools are the only ones that
can give them the service they
need President Mobley urged ev
eryone present to sign the petitions
now being circulated by the Craig
head county union, in initiating a
bill providing a half mill tax for
the support of these schools, and
pointed out that this bill would not
increase the taxes, but simply
would set aside a stipulated amount
for each school each year. The peo
pie promised President Mobley that
when the state Farmers Union met
in Jonesboro in 1916, that 10000
farmers will meet the delegates.

Galveston Tex Aug. 16-The tropical storm which
struck Galveston today while very severe had caused
no serious damage and no loss of life at 10 o'clock this
evening The Galveston wall, built as precautlon
against such hurricanes had withstood the fury OF the
storm and showed no signs of weakening.
The storm struck the city late in the forenoon at
velocity of hiryfour miles hour At noon had IN
creased to fifty miles and during the late afternoon and
night fluctuated between sixty and seventy miles an
hour, blowing in a north-northeasterly direction.
Hundreds of persons left the city this afternoon
when the storm increased in severity.
Wind Reaches 9O-Mie Velocity.
At D. M the wind was blowing strong and driving
water from the bay into the lower part Of the city along
the wharf front.
In front of the News building the water about
foot deep running even with the curling.
At 9 o'clock tonight the highest velocity was sixty
five to sevenythree miles hour with occasional jets
blowing as high as ninety miles.
The ONLY damage thus far caused was the destruc-
ton of window panes and insecure woodwork expos
ed buildings.
A heavy rain fell throughout the day and tonight
the streets are filled with water to the curblng.
The local weather bureau advised persons living in
exposed places to observe proper caution.
No estimate as to the extent Of the storm in Gal
weston or the surrounding country could be made to-
night by the weather bureau owing to wire trouble.
It is estimated that 5000 persons left Galveston by
train interrban and automobiles during the last thirty
six hours Tonight all of the homes especially those

cred in downtown hotels and public buildings

Crum was brought here today
from Marion, Ark, where he was
held with Bert Spring, the negro
who shot Sheriff Mauldin.
An order was issued yesterday by
Judge Driver for Crum, Kenton and
theirs to be brought to Osceola for
the special term of court which is
to open tomorrow.
THREATS BEFORE TRAGEDY
Sheriff Collins, with an order
for the prisoners, went to Marion
today and brought the prisoners
here. Sheriff Ed Monroe of Critten-
den county accompanied the party.
He returned to Marion this after
noon before the tragedy occurred.
The prisoners were brought to
the Jail by a circuitous route, but
threats were heard of trouble if the
habeas corpus proceedings institut-
ed by Tennessee authorities to bring
the accused men to justice in Ten
nessee instead of Arkansas succeed
ed.
The identity of the members of
the mob is still shrouded in mys-
terry. Officials at the Jail declare
some were masked and the ones
who were not masked, they insist,
were strangers to them.
Investigation plans await the re-
turn of Judge Driver from his fish
ing trip tomorrow, when he will
convene a special term of court to
try the remaining prisoners from
Island 81.
Bert Spring, the negro who did
the shooting when Sheriff Mauldin
was killed, died last night from the
effects of wounds received at the
hands of the mob which burned
many structures on Island 81 fol-
lowing the murder of the sheriff.
A controversy has arisen since
the trouble on the island as to the
jurisdiction over the place, Tennes-
see claiming the prisoners should
be tried in Covington, Tenn, coun-
ty seat of Upton county, and the
Arkansas authorities claiming con-
current jurisdiction over the island
and alleging the Tennessee authori-
ties had failed to maintain order
there.
The better class of citizens de-
plore the affair today and seem to
take more interest in the fact that
the home club defeated Blytheville,
4 to 1, in today's game.
JAILER OVERPOWERED.
A. j. Huckaby, the jailer, says
that he did not know any of the
men in the crowd; that they were
all perfect strangers to him. His
story of the occurrence is as fol-
lows:

He was at the court house, watch
ing a ball game from the window,
when some one called him by phone,
stating that they had a prisoner
that they wished to place il the
Jail, and as he had the keys to the
Jail it was necessary that he go
there to let the party with the
prisoner in, and on arriving at the
Jail, very much to his surprise, he
was met by about II or IA men
who he says he did not know. They
commanded him to throw up his
hands, and as he started to get his
gun he was grabbed from behind
by some very strong man, and that
he was overpowered and his keys
taken away from him, and while
three men held him in the old
court house, which is about 100
feet from the jail, the rest of the
mob proceeded to the Jail, Huckaby
declares, where they encountered
the second jailer, who was keeping
guard at the Jail door. He was
likewise overpowered and his gun
taken from him.
What took place after that, as
told by one of the prisoners, who
was on the inside of the jail with
Crum, was that some six or eight
men opened the Jail door, and, aft
er looking the Jail over downstairs,
the men continued their search to
the second floor, where they found
Crum in a cell to himself, concealed
behind some quilts.
CRUM BEGS FOR LIFE.
This is where the shooting be-
gan. Some of the prisoners state
that Crum began begging for his
life, and with this some eight or
10 shots were fired in his body,
eight of them taking effect. AS
soon as the shooting ceased the
crowd came down out of the Jail and
locked the doors behind them.
MOB QUICKLY DISPERSES.
Mr.. Huckaby says that some two
or three cars were waiting in the
street, and that the mob, part OF
whom were masked, after finishing
their job, jumped into the waiting
cars and left in great haste. Mr..
Huckaby says that a part OF the
mob he would know if he were to
see them again, and that part OF
them were men that he never saw
before.
1t seems that it was well-plan-
ned affair, for it happened just
when the ball game was in its
best and that most of the people
were in attendance on the game.
Even Sheriff ]. T. Collins and Dep
uties Sallinger and Blackwood were
at the game, the latter acting in
