C. II. ARNOLD AND WILL
 ROUSE NOT GUILTY

C. II. Arnold and Will Rouse of Hot Springs were acquitted this morning by the jury in Justice Nelson's court. They were charged with transporting liquor from Texas into Arkansas un- der the bone dry law.
 Rouse and Arnold were arrested last week just the other side of Pro- vidence creek, about eight miles north of Prescott, while they were in the act of leaving for Hot Springs after being stuck in the creek for some time. They were driving a Dort touring car and had about 15 quarts of booze in sacks in the rear of the car. They were brought here and placed in jail and their trial was set for today at 10 o'clock. Prosecut- ing Attorney Tillman B. Parks or dered them released on bond of $250, which was signed by John w, De- Woody, prominent citizen from near Hot Springs.
 At the trial this morning the state tried to prove that the defendants had tried to sell some of the whiskey to farmers in the neighborhood of Providence creek, also that it was a violation of the bone dry law to transport liquor even for personal use, but Circuit Judge c. R. Haynie

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
 Relieved by Black-Draught.

RoSSville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, oi Lhis place, writes: My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- iured himself with piece of heavy ma- chinery, across the abdomen He was so sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed 1l0 lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink it two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.

NATIONAL CAMP
Of WOODMEN
GOES TO MOBILE

Announcement received from Col.
C. D. Mills, sovereign sentry of the
Woodmen of the World in Florida,
by Secretary James F. Phillips, Of
the Chamber of Commerce, states
that Pensacola lost the national en-
campment to be held next July, Mo-
bile being the winner provided the
required railroad arrangements can
be made.
The letter from Col Mills states
that Pensacola was in second place
when the balloting was finished. the
proposition rendered by this city be-
ing considered excellent. 1t is claim
ed that Mobile offered ample grounds
for holding the encampment, already
wired, with the necessary piping and
sanitary equipment.
A contributing cause to Pensacola's
losing the encampment, it is stated
is the fact that the site offered was
on the army reservation. While this
was perhaps the best site offered, the
uncertainty of the international stu
alton and the possibility of the per
nit being revoked at any moment
worked against Pensacola landing thu
great convention.

ARMY CONDITIONS
WERE REVELATION

I believe it a patriotic duty to make
public my impressions as to the con-
ditions prevailing in the U. S. army
so far as the enlisted men are con-
cerned. Ny boy, John A. Walsh, be-
came restless and in a fit of wan
deriust joined the army and became
stationed at Fort Slocum, N. Y. Be-
ieving the army an unfit place for
my boy and catering to the objection
of his mother, she believing also that
he had begun life wrong by joining
the army, resulting in her nervous
breakdown, sought his discharge on
the grounds of under age.
I visited Fort Slocum to bring my
boy back home after his discharge
was ordered by the war department,
and had occasion to stay overnight
and all the next day and must say
that l WIS more than agreeably sur
prised at the nice, clean, healthy and
orderly environment in which I
found my son.
I stayed in his barracks, he being
away on pass privilege (such privil-
eyes I was informed by some of the
men were freely given to men who
behave themselves.) 1t was abso-
lutely clean and the room was order
ly, warm and well ventilated. It
could not have been better in the
dorrnitory of any Of the finest col
leges or universities in the land. |
had breakfast with the men and !

homes in the state of Massachusetts,
that could provide such a meal. The
dinner was as good as could be pro-
cured in the finest hotel. The treat
ment of the men toward me and to-
ward each other was gentlemanly at
all times. The recreation room in
which the men spend their time wher
off duty or not away visiting friends
or relatives, is provided for with al
the literature, magazines and news
papers that money can buy; the place
is most homelike and an atmosphere
of happiness and contentment Pre-

BARK SEREPTA MAY
LEAVE PORT TODAY

Another neutral vessel is expected
to get away today, possibly for Lon
don. This is the Norwegian bark
Serepta, which is yet uncertain
whether she will proceed hence for
London or Narvik either of which
places are in her charter, and it is
understood she has the option of
either point.
The Serepta is not loaded with
lumber like the majority of ships
from Pensacola, and when leaving
here today will have the great flag
of Norway prominently on her sides.
