B NEGROES CAUGHT
 ROLL|N' DE BONES

Nine negroes pleaded guilty to crap shooting in the court of Mayor J. c. Dawson this morning and were fined S1O and costs, amounting to S1415. One pleaded not guilty, and another is to appear for trial this afternoon. Two others escaped.
 The IS blacks were ''rollin' de bones" in the exhibit hall at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon, when City Marshal J. R. Piercey and Dep uty Sheriff Roy Hendrickson inter- rupted them. The officers had been tipped by an elderly negro, who over heard the dicemen planning the game Saturday.
 Those fined were Fred Johnson, Dick Dalton, Will Beard, Spence Rey- holds, Herbert Thompson, Eunice Gatewood, Percey Ware, Claud Park CT and Will Wallace. Henry Harris pleaded not guilty, and will be tried this afternoon. Stump Greenlow, one of the trio who got away yes- terday afternoon, was arrested this morning and will appear before the mayor this afternoon.
 The negroes will be put to work cleaning the city's ditches.

WANT NAMES OFF
 ROAD PETITIONS

A delegation of eight citizens liv- ing south and east of Saltillo called upon County Judge E. L. Smith to- day and asked that their names be stricken off the petitions filed in county court for the Conway-Saltillo road. They stated that they had signed the petitions under wrong impression and were told that unless they did so their lands would be in corporated in the Vilonia road dis trict, which would be of no benefit to them.
 Judge Smith advised the delegation that he would not take up the ques- tion until the day set for the hear ing, March 22, but allowed them to file a statement requesting the re- moval of their names from the peti- tion.

going through the yards at Ashdown or Argenta. The fact that this ex- pense is eliminated and that cattle coming from these counties can be sold in tick-free pens and compete on the market with cattle from tick free territory means that the cattle growers in these counties will imme- diately realize from $50 to $200 more on every car of cattle they ship out. This saving alone in one year will more than equal all the local money necessary to make the coun- ties tick-free."

FRAIfRNAL INSURANCE
 MEASURE GETS THROUGH

Little Rock, March 12.-Arkansas is the thirty-seventh state of the Union to enact the New York confer ence bill into law. Having passed the senate some time previously, it was read third time and passed in the house the night preceding the ad- journment. There was very little discussion of the measure, as near ly everyone was familiar with it.. There were only six votes against 1t, and those largely on account of a misunderstanding of the terms of the law. It is long step forward in the standardizing of fraternal

RtNtWS SUIT YS.
 CONWpY CITIZENS FINLEY CASE UP AGAIN
S25,000 Damage Case, Once Thrown Out of Federal Court, is
 Brought Again.

A suit for 5000 damages brought against six Conway citizens last Au- gust by o. P. Findley, deputy state superlntendent under George E.. Cook, and thrown out of the United States district court in October for want of jurisdiction, has been filed in the same tribunal again Deputy United States Marshal w. H. Martin is here today serving summonses in the case. The defendants are L. H. Pyle. V. D. Hill, Frank Paris, Frank E. Robins, s. G. Smith, J. E. Little and B. C. Benedict. Mir. Benedict was not party in the previous suit, the other six defendants being the same. Carmichael, Brooks, Powers & Rector, Little Rock attorneys, iagain represent the plaintiff.
 In his former suit Findley claimed to be citizen of Texas, although at the time he was holding state office Tn Arkansas. On this ground Judge Jacob Trieber dismissed the case. The plaintiff now claims to be a cit lZen Of Louisiana.
 The suit is based upon resolution adopted by a mass meeting of Con- way citizens, condemning an audit of the books of the Arkansas State Nor nal School, made by Findley last summer, and urging the continuance of J. J. Doyne as president of the institution. This resolution was tel egraphed to the board of trustees of the Normal School, in session at Lit tie Rock when it was adopted, and was signed by 21 citizens of Con- way.
 A copy of the telegram on which the suit is based is as follows:

 At mass meeting of citizens of Conway held this morning, the fol- lowing resolution was unanimously adopted and was ordered to be tele- graphed to your board:
 "'We denounce the charges made by the so-called expert accountant, o. r. Findlay, which were published in Thursdays Arkansas Democrat, as vicious and unwarranted attack against an honored fellow-townsman. From personal knowledge some of us are able to testify that many of the charges are absolutely untrue and un- founded and it is our opinion that all of them are inspired by low, dirty, pol ltlcs, without regard for the interest of the State Normal School. We without reservation approve the ad- of President Doyne in every respect, and especially in his manner of handling the finances of the institution, and we point with pride to the great progress the school has made under his able and efficient

Our War Resources.

Much talk has been INDUCED in a.
bout the PREPAREDNESS of the United
States for engaging in a war with a
foreign power. By this preparedness
we do not refer to a strict military
preparedness, actual army and navy
strength, but to the resources of the
country, which will figure largely in
our carrying on a war. Commercial
ly speaking, we are better prepared
for war than any other nation on the
earth.
To summarize the items of our
preparedness, they may be listed as
follows:
We have 113,OOO,0OO people.
Our stock of gold is as large as
the combined gold reserve of France,
Russia and the United Kingdom.
Our pig-iron production is greater
than that of all the rest of the world
combined.
Our copper output is twice that of
the rest of the world.
Our navy ranks third among the
navies of the world, with Isl fighting
ships and tonnage of 100000.
Our merchant marine has a gross
tonnage of S,470,0O0.
We have only $4,000 regular and
100000 partially trained militia
troops but we have q 100000 availa-
bic men between Is and As and A.
77S,0O0 are eligible for service.
We vii soon have S2,7O0,OOO worth
Of anti-aircraft guns.

Attention!
Farmers, County Agents
and Commercial
Clubs.

The Kentucky State Fair believing
that the purpose and intent of its or
ganization was to benefit, foster build
up and advance the agricultural de-
velopment and interest in this state,
will offer this year prizes totaling
$4,000, for the best display of agri-
cultural products, including grains,
hay, feeds, forages, straw, tobacco,
hemp, vegetables, fruits, (fresh can
ed and preseved), honey, syrups, su-
CARS, cured meats, poultry products,
dairy products, and all other agricul-
tural products, which may be produc-
ed in any county in Kentucky during
the year 1917.
Prizes will be divided as follows:
$3.50 to the county winning first.
$3.50 to the county winning second.
500 to the county winning third.
The county winning first prize will
also receive a sterling silver cham
pionship cup valued at 500.
While another 500 is set apart to
be divided as follows: $50 to the first;
$50 to the second, and $50 to the third
to be given to the representatives of
the respective winning counties work
ing up the exhibits.
The awards will be made by three
disinterested, competent judges, and
the considerations governing the a.
wards will be quality and quantity of
arrangement of the exhibition of the
same.
All products for this exhibit must
be started to the Kentucky State Fair
either in wagon or by train, not later
than Wednesday, September 5, 1917,
to be arranged and ready for Judging
at noon of Saturday, September Sth.
No exhibit, or any portion of exhibit,
not started to the Kentucky State
Fair by Wednesday, September 5th,
will be considered in the jugdging of
same. This should enable all interior
counties, or counties from a remote
distance from the Kentucky State
Fair grounds, to compete on the same
terms, conditions and footing as those
counties lying nearer to the Kentucky
State Fair grounds. If necessary,
the pemher in CHARGE NAV renuire an
affidavit setting forth the date of cut
ting, removing or starting of any pro-
ducts exhibited in this class to the
Kentucky State Fair.
As a suggestion, l advise any one
in any county, who contemplates his
county being represented in this con-
test, 70 insist on several farmers in
each section of the county to prepare
and grow the same products for this
special exhibition. In other words,
say six farmers grow POTATOES (both
Irish and sweet), six farmers grow
hay, six grow grains, and so on until
arrangements have been made for the
growing of all kinds of products for
this wonderful display.
Full particulars will appear in the
catalog which will be issued about
July /, 1917, or upon application to

riculture, Frankfort, Ky.

Get Together Luncheon.

The Chamber of Commerce will have
a Get-Together Luncheon next Mon
day night, April 9th, at the Masonic
Temple, to which all of the citizens of
Richmond as well as the members of
the Chamber of Commerce are invit-
ed. The price of the luncheon will
only be so cents and it is hoped that
every progressive citizen and those
who are interested in the welfare of
the city of Richmond will be present.
The idea of this get-together lunch
con is to get all of the people of Rich
mond together in order to discuss
those things which will help the fu-
ture growth and development of the
city in the future. Many citizens are
not aware of what is going on in the
way of development; in the securing
Of an adequate sewerage system;
paving streets, etc, while at the same
time it is necessary that every citi-
zen get behind these great movements
for development. 1t is for the pur-
pose of acquainting the people gener-
ally of the situation before Richmond
and of impresing upon them the needs
of the city that this luncheon is to be
held. If there ever was a time in
the history of the city when the peo-
pie needed to get together it is now
and no better way can be found than
to discuss these matters around the
luncheon table. Every citizen in Rich
mond, who has the interest OF the city
at heart, should make it point to be
present on this occasion and lend his
presence and influence to the better
ment of the city.
