stitutional, and we consider him
mighty good authority on a question
of this character. Furthermore, his
suggestion that the people already
are taxed to pay too many federal
inspectors and agents to spy upon
them, harass and Cypress them, is
well worth being pondered. Florida
has an excellent child labor law, has
her own inspectors, and we believe
the law is being properly enforced :.
The proper way to reach the evils of
child labor is for each State to han
die the matter as Florida has done.
Certainly there is no nee6 for Fed
eral interference in this State.

We are printing Mr.. R. B. Stur-

of w. V. Knott that Cats and Stur-
kie were connected in a frame-up to
discredit Knott. We would not like
to have to explain as much as Mr. 4.
Sturkie will to clear himself of sus-

he has made himself persona non

that of Knott.

Glen st. Mary's precinct gave Mr..
Cats rousing majority-indeed,
1t was so rousing that MIR. Knott
asked a recount, to ascertain, if pos
sible, just how so many Cats votes
could get in one small box. When
the inspectors opened the box, how
ever, to make the recount, they
found it entirely empty. Every bal.
lot had been stolen from it. Where
sixty-seven legal objections before
the Supreme court failed to prevent
recount, this simple method turned
the trick.

man, why should you surmise there

From week to- week, from year to

Berries Cash Crop

The strawberry grower, hav- Ing from six to ten acres in ber- rles, will also grow Irish pota- toes and sweet potatoes, corn and cotton, cowpeas and grasses, and he will raise hogs and cattle, things that fit right Tn with the system which in eludes strawberries. The pro eeeds from the diversified crons more than pay the expenses of the farm, leaving as clear pro- lit the receipts from strawber- rles and cotton, which always are cash crops.
 AS soon as the strawberries are out of the way, the Jud- sonia association will begin to make plans for moving the ear ly Irish potato crop, which is ready for shipment about June 10, and which this year prom lses to amount to 125 or l5O cars. The yield of early pota- toes will average 100 bushels to the acre, the rain Saturday

COUPLE SLASHED BY
 CRAZED SON-IN-LAW
James P. Cole and Wife of Near Conway May Die as Result of Family Quarrel

Conway, May 22.-James P. Cole, a farmer living near Mt. Olive schoolhouse, 13 miles southeast of Conway, ,and his wife, were probably fatally slashed with a knife in the hands of Clyde Gillian, their son-in-law, in a family quarrel, at the Cole home last night.
 Cole received a deep wound on the left side of his chest near the heart, and a second wound back of the neck. His condition this morning is seri- ous, and physicians think may result in death.
 Mrs. Cole received a long slash on the back of her head. Young Gillian is believed to have been demented, as he ceased his attack on his wife's S parents at the call of Roy Young, the fourth person in the room at the time. Realizing the damage he had done, he is said to have called a doctor, to the aid of the wounded cou- pie, and later voluntarily came here and surrendered to the sheriff's office. He is now in the county jail.
 Domestic trouble is given as the cause of the difficulty. Young Gillian and his wife had lived with Mrs. Gilliam's par ents for about a year.

movement will show that the growers averaged $125 an acre for their strawberries. There is estimated to be 2,000 acres bearing.
 Three Varieties
 The leading varieties of ber- ries grown in this district are the Excelsior, Klondike and A roma which ripen one after the other, permitting continued picking from the last of April until nearly the first of June. In size, color and flavor they are similar and each variety has excellent shipping quality.
 Judsonia has been in the trawberry business for 35 years and it is today one of the biggest, if not the biggest, ship ping points for this fruit in the United States. The pioneer growers of this section com mercialized the strawberry industry in the South and made it profitable to the farmer. .Jud- sonia has originated practically every one of the commercial varieties of strawberries now grown in Arkansas, Texas, Ten nessee, Louisiana and Missis- sippi. Millions of plants are shipped to growers in other states.
 Credit for much of the sue cess that has come to the berry growers of Judsonia and the neighboring towns is given to the excellent cooperative mar keting system worked out through the Judsonia Straw berry and Vegetable Associa- | tion, which was organized in 1898. It now has membershu. of $50, each shipper being member or stoekholder, and in- cludes practically every com mercial grower of berries inthe | district.
 Through this cooperative organization the growers buy their boxes and crates. which also are products Of Judsonia. They also buy atwholesale and Tn car lots their feedstuffs and fertilizer, which works out a
 considerable saving to the far : mer in the consuming as well as the producing end. Railroads Assist
 The railroads have done their part to encourage the building up of this industry at Judsonia, the transportation service this season being in ev- cry way satisfactory. A special fruit train has been operated daily to handle the strawberry crop from Judsonia, Searcy, l Higginson, McRea and Bald | Knob, in connection with a re- Ilcing station at HoXie.
 Cars loaded at these stations in the evening are put in St. Louis the next morning in time to make connections with fast freight lines north and east bound.
 1 The banks at Judsonia stay .open during the strawberry season from ' o'clock in the morning until midnight, hand ling the daily business of the growers and the main street of the town resembles miniature Wall street. At night the berry plckers come in from the fields and the stores, refreshments Islands and travelling carnivals do a rushing business. C. M. Erganbright, a Jud- onla banker, says that these strawberry growers never lose 1 thelr farms on mortgages. He | gave the name of one grower who buys a new farm after ev- cry harvest. New strawberry | land is being opened up every l year.

Net Returns Show That the Farmers Will Average SIPS Per Acre for Their Berries This Season.

Judsonia, May 23.-Judson- ia this week is finishing mar keting the biggest strawberry crop in it's history. The ship ments from White county points alone aggregate 500 ears,, or more than 100000 crates, bringing to the farmers appro- ximately $250,000, according to W. C. North, president and sales manager of the Judsonia Strawberry and Vegetable Growers Association. This as- sociation marketed $50 cars of strawberries this season.
 The rain last Saturday will prolong the harvest by several days and greatly improve the quality of the berries now re- maining. The first car was ship ped April 24 and it is expected the last load will go out Satur- day of this week or Monday of next week. During the week of May 8, 24 cars a day were ship ped from Judsonia. The big gest day that Judsonia everhad was Monday, May 8, when $20,000 was paid out to the shippers by local banks.
 More than 5000 pickers were brought into the berry district to gather this immense crop. The price paid for pick ing was two cents a quart, or 48 cents a crate. The average picker easily made $1.50 a day and the earnings of some of the larger families frequent ly aggregated $10 to $15 per day. In every field there were more berries than the people could pick and the shipments represent not what the land produced, but what the pickers could gather.
 25 Buyers Present
 Twenty-Five buyers were here and 90 per cent of the Der ries were sold on the track al Judsonia for shipment to Pitts burg, Boston, Buffalo, Toronto Winnipeg, Minneapolis, Chica. go, Denver and intermediate points. In the matter of mar keting Judsonia ships farther than the Louisiana and other southern districts.
 Prices ranged from $2.50 a crate at the opening to $1.50 during the dry weather period, then went back up again to $1.75 with promise of closing around S2. It costs the grower about 75 cents to pick, crate and sell the berries under the Judsonia plan. There is good money in growing them at $1.- 50 a crate and they are fortune makers at $1.75 and $2 acrate. says MT. North, the largest strawberry grower in the state, who has sold $4, ,000worth from his 40 acres at Judsonia. The net returns from this years
