JUDGE SCORES GOVERNOR
Especially Refers TO Pardon OF Negro
Who Killed Man With Club.

In his charge to the grand jury at
the opening of the Crawford county
circuit court at Van Buren last week
Circuit Judge Cochrane said:
Gentlemen Of the jury: must
admit that 1t Is somewhat dis.
couraging to the courts and juries
to spend their time In convictine
men of felonies when the governor,
without reason or investigation,
will pardon those who are tried and
convicted. | am not against the
pardonine power Of the governor,
1t Is a good and wholesome power
granted to the governor by our
state constitution and when consci-
entiously and directly exercised
1t will accomplish great good, but
like all good laws when 1t Is improp-
erly and indiscriminatey exercised
without due caution and investiga-
ton, 1t becomes great evil. The
governor has just pardoned J. B.
Cox, who was convicted during this
term Of the court for murder In the
second degree. During the TWO
years that ! have presided as Judge
he has pardoned In my judgment
some Of the worst criminals that
have been convicted by the juries
Of this county, evidently without
judgment and without reason for
doing so"
The Cox referred to by Judge
Cochrane is negro, who was in.
dicted by the grand jury for frs,
degree murder. The jury which
tried the case found him guilty ol
second degree murder Some ol
the Jurors wanted to give him 81

The above prices are below the
average cost to the consumer on
the Little Rock market. Consider
them we'll Figure out for yourself
whether it is good business for you
to produce the items in this list that
YOU will need next year, or to buy
them. How much money can a
farmer make if he has to buy his
living at these prices after the crop
Is eatheredY How much money can
he make by producing his own food
and feed supplies at these prices?
1t is a plain business proposition,
and no good farmer can take
chances on buying his living at
these prices out of 15.cent cotton
or any other cash crop. To be on
the safe side we must raise our own
living at home next year. Do not
be deceived. These are not pros
porous times but perilous times for
the farmers. If the price Of cotton
goes below 15.cents next fall and
the price of food and feed products
remain as at present, the farmers
cannot hope to get supplies on a
credit to make a crop the following
season. The merchants cant af-
ford to sell goods at such prices to
make 10 or 12-cent cotton. Friends,
take heed while you may.

THE infective agent is known to be
discharged from these sources in the
excretions of the respiratory and diges-

sistant to the destructive agencies en-
countered in nature outside of the hu-
man body. Perhaps the most significant
transmission of poIiomyelitis to mon
