Relatives Cause Them
 Greatest Misery and Disgrace
Camp Beauregard Commander Appeals to Mothers, Wives and Sweethearts of Soldiers to Write
 Only Cheerful Letters

ball and chair is pitiful one in pri vate life. That of a soldier boy being driven to unpleasant duties of pri- soner under guard is just as shock 1 ing, but it is not an unfrequent sight in camp. The greatest number of the reasons for this predicament are let ters written by folks at home implor ing them to come home.
 q many cases of desertion, the cause is traced to these seemingly innocent letters from home. The sol dier receives such a letter he gets homesick or "blue" and decides to leave, with CT without permission After he arrives at his home he be- gins to realize what his action means and he decides to stay. Desertion in time of war is punishable by the death penalty. Deserters from this Division are sentenced to confine- ment in the Federal penitentiary for long terms, ranging from ten tc twenty-five years.
 eff mothers, wives, and sweet hearts could be made to understand what misery and disgrace they may bring upon their loved ones by writing such letters, 1 am sure they Wolufs send messages of good cheer instead of those which will make the son, husband or sweetheart downcast and homesick.
 Records of the camp courts demonstrate the havoc that is being played by these appeals of parents, wives, sisters and sweethearts. They show that six out of seven of the men found guilty of being absent without leave and sentenced to strenuous, de- grading and severe punishment testi- fled in their trials that they were prompted to leave their commands by pitiful appeals from their home. Had such letters not been written these boys, instead of being prisoners guarded by armed men at their heels, would be happy soldiers of the Div ision going diligently about their work.
 "If the people of Arkansas, Louis jana and Mississippi would realize that every letter written a soldier making him feel that things are not all right at home was the worst thing for his welfare, 1 believe they would stop sending him such messages. l know this section of the country and I feel that in no other part is patrio- tism greater and pride in the army more pronounced There is no inten- ticn at home to deter their progress, but the messages of gloom should cease"

Little Rock, May 14.-Gov. Brough has received an important letter from Mjaol-General H. C. Hodges, commanding the 39th Division at Camp Beauregard.
 governors of Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi to request the people at home to write only cheerful letters to the soldiers in camp. It is a matter that has been stressed by all military authorities and by the councils of defense.
 "It is impressed upon my mind ev- cry day." writes Gen. Hodges, "that many mothers, wives and sweethearts of our soldiers are, unwittingly, bring ing upon themselves and upon their soldier relatives the greatest misery and disgrace.
 'I want to see you. Please come home.' These eight words of affection hundreds of messages that are received by the men in this camp every day. Despite the fact that they appear as tender tokens from home, they are the cause of more misery and anguish on the part of the sol diers in Camp Beauregard than any ether cause. They engender home sickness and dscontent in the hearts of the boys who go, with or without leave, to their loved ones. In these strenuous times of war, the crime of being absent without leave is a ser icus one and it's punishment is we'll known, especially to men in the Army.
 Because the folks at home are the innocent cause of so many of these crimes, 1 want to make direct ap- peal to relatives and friends of the men to refrain from addressing them messages that make them believe things are not right at home-that they should return to their firesides, even without leave.
 "It is natural, 1 know for sick wife or mother to want to see her sol dier boy. In every one, except the most extreme cases, the desire should be suppressed, for the soldier, not being a physician could accomplish no real good by visit. but could on the other hand, by such visit without leave, get himself into predicament from which he could not extricate himself in months and in some cases years. A soldier should not be written discouraging letters but instead should be sent words of cheer. He has important duties to perform, for his country. and he can do them bet ter with light heart.

Had Bright's Disease-TOok Hobo"
 Got His Engine Back Again.
 Railroads companies are strict about the physical condition of their loco motive engineers. An engineer has hundreds of lives in his custody every time he takes out train load of pas sengers. So when Engineer E. s. Hardy, of Marshall, Tex, got sick and was examined by the chief surgeon of the Texas Pacific hospital, he was made to quit work when the doctor found he had a very bad case of Bright's Disease. Hardy then went to Denver, Col.-to specialist-who found the blood pressure 225 and urine full of albumin. Doctor told him he would never be able to work any more. Hardy then returned home and some friend suggested that he take the cele- brated Hobo Kidney and Bladder Rem edy. He took thirteen bottles, was again examined by chief surgeon, who said his blood pressure was normal and no albumin. Got his engine back and heartily recommends "Hobo' to all afflicted with kidney trouble. Try Hobo. Your druggist can supply Iyou-S1 per bottle Or write to Hobo Medicine Manufacturing Co.,, Singer,

Was Quick With Pistol.

Little Rock, ay 14.-Reedy Vance, murdered near the Cummins convict farm Monday night, was in the saloon business here at one time. In a row in a resort, about 20 years ago, he killed Jim Sullivan, white man. He was acquitted when tried for murder A few years before that negro sol dier. walking on Main street, pushed white woman from the sidewalk. Vance killed him on the spot.Again he was acquitted. It was but a year or two later when he killed a third man, a Chinaman.
 Vance had entered the Ctinaman's restaurant, located on Capitol avenue, between Main and Louisiana streets, and had eaten bowl of soup.
 Vance walked out without paying for the soup. The Chinaman followed him, demanding payment. Vance wheeled, exclaimed that he had al ways heard that "Chinaman would go to h--for 9 nickel, so here goes one!" and emptied his revolver into the Chinaman's body according to testimony brought out during Vance's trial. Vance claimed the Chinaman had knife and was attempting to cut him. He also claimed that he had gone to get some change with which to pay for the soup.
 Citizens had had enough of Vance's "fWjld West" life, however, and there was a strong demand for his convic- tion. He was tried and condemned to be hanged. A new trial was obtained and his case was taken to Perry county on change of venue obtained |by Vance's attorneys. He was again convicted, the Perry county trial re- suited in his going to the penitentiary for 20 years. He began his sentence September ?, 1902.
 April 6, 1908, he was paroled, but violated his parole and was recom- mitted May 4, 1910.

Hays granted Vance pardon, but the pardon contained a provision pro- hibiting him from returning to !Pu- laski county. Vance showed his old fighting spirit and rejected the par don, declaring he would serve his full term and then go where he desired. A year later he was paroled by the peni- tentiary commission.
 Vance had been allowed to conduct a small store within the stockade walls at the farm. He had accumu- lated considerable means; and after his parole he opened a store on the Walker Jones plantation just across the road from the main entrance to the convict farm.

 SOUTH OPPOSE UNION
(Committee Will Recommend Instead
 of Organic Union With Northern Church. Federal Union

Durant, Okla., May 14.-A report opposing organic union with the Northern Presbvterian church but recommending in its stead a federal union of all the Presbyterian churches iu the country, will be presented to the Southern Presbyterian general assembly which meets here Thursday.
 The report will be presented by a special committee appointed by the last Southern assembly, which has held joint meetings during the year with similar committee from the Northern assembly. The plan for fed eration offered by the Southern churchmen proposed that each church shall retain its own organization, and that over them all shall be a federal assembly made up of representatives of each church. This assembly will exercise only the powers delegated to it by the churches. and have general supervision over the gneral missions and othr work of the churches. The Northern committee refused to accept this plan, holding that it would not express the unity of the church that was desired.
