Organize and Plan Work
That Will Mean Much
to Our Farmers.

The Monroe County Agricu1-

Thursday p. M, with r. w.
Beck acting Chairman. Mr.. Nc
Kell talked on the purposes Of
the board and Prof. Lloyd on
The Reasons for Organization.
Among other things Mr.. Nc
Kell and Prof. Lloyd stressed
was the Importance of farmers
organizing, they being the only
class Of people who are not
now organized and who need
organization more than any
other. The purpose of this
Board is to help to meet the
need for a central body of rep
rasentative citizens \ of each
community to give advice and
help in the needs of the county
along lines of agricultural and
home life.
Judge T. r. Bateman was
elected President; June David
son, Holly Grove, Vice Presl-
dent; Mrs. r. F. Milwee, Secre-
tary.
This Board endorsed the good
work as conducted by Miss
Sarah l.. Fortinberry, Ex-Home
Agent and r. w. Beck, County
Farm Agent.
An outline of the Farm Dem
OnstratiOn Work as given by
Mr.. Beck and amended by June
Davidson, j. T. Bradley and j,

for the year 1920.
This organization will meet

after the first fight at Hoop

track and lay in the weeds all

easy range of automobiles go

into them, but they wished to
wait for Hills army in order to

serious task of capturing
Elaine. They under estimated

Every negro who joined
lodges was given to understand
that ultimately he would be
called upon to kill white people.
Unquestionably the time for
attack had been set, but plans
had not been entirely perfect

officers brought on the insur-

another scheme used by
Hill to obtain money was to
appoint leading negroes or sew

HISTORY OF THE
NEGRO UPRISING
How the Uprising Was Planned
BY a Designing Negro and
Mean White Men.

For the benefit of those who
may not have gotten the details
of the affair, | print the follow
ing:
chill, the designig negro
scoundrel of Winchester, Ark.
who was the central figure of
the organization which was
milking" the poor negroes of
their coin and exciting them to
uprising and crime, has escaped
into Louisiana, tho some say
he has shipped to South Ameri-
ca.
1t is said taht he had accu-
.mulated, by his schemes, many
thousands of dollars and has
carried his money with him. He
pretended to be with the q. S.
Government and worked the
unsuspecting negroes for mon
ley that way.
Another form of eXtOrtiOn
was to sell shares of $40 each
to the negroes in a proposed
building to be erected by the
union at Winchester. Hill would
find out what negroes possess
ed thrift stamps and Liberty
bonds and would issue a certifi-
cate saying that SO many
shares had been purchased at
$40 per share and all negroes
buying shares in the amount of
$50 or more were told that
their names would be engraven
in the building. In other words
he had so planned his campaign
that any negro possessing from
so cents to $50 was given an
opportunity to invest in some
thing connected with the union.
Fees for Attorney
'He then advised the mem
bers that the general attorney
of the union in Little Rock
would, for an additional con-
sideration, represent all Of the
negroes in their settlements
with landlords during the gin
ming season. He went to several
of the meetings with typeWrit-
tell powers of attorney which
he had signed by the negr )eS,
collecting amounts from S25 to
$50 and pledging payment Of
the balance of $50 each with
the crop as security. He was
very adroit in making use of
certain circulars issued by the
government and in distorting
the purpose Of the Arkansas
warehouse and ginners law to
convince the negroes that the
United States government was
endeavoring to correct evils
which he alleged existed among
the farmers.

(Continued from Page One) of the Federated Trades Council at Tacoma. Before he had reached his majority he was sent as a delegate to the American Federation of Labor annual meeting at Chicago. He was elected a member of the Tacoma City Council, and became an expert public accountant. Gov. J. R. Rogers appointed him Secretary of the Board of Audit and Control in 1897, and he later became Chairman of that Board. He was the Democratic nominee for Congress to succeed the late Frank E. Cushman, and was de fcated by only a few votes. He be- came a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1912, and ran second in. the primaries, Judge w. W. Black defeating him by few votes. The Supreme Court decided that Judge Black was not eligible for the nomination on account of a constitutional provision which pre- vented judicial officer from becom- ing candidate for any other office during the term for which he was elected Judge The Democratic State Central Committee then named Lister to, fill the vacancy on the ticket. Thisc was accomplished Oc- tober Il, less than four weeks be- fore the election. Lister conducted l whirlwind campaign, and was elected, defeating Gov Marion B. Hay by 622 votes. He was reelected in 1916 by 13,S40 plurality.
 Gov. Lister was probably the most popular Governor Washington ever had. Hc was a forceful platform speaker, clean in his personal life, and one of the best informed men on State matters in his State. He was nigh in the Masonic fraternity, and Elk and a member of the Methodist Church.
 Gov. Lister, accompanied by Mrs. Lister, visited Juneau last year with Tacoma members of the Nobles of
 he Mystic Shrine, and made many friends during his stay here. Prob lbly no visitor to the North ever made more favorable impression in
 his city.

FIRE CHIEF REQUESTS ONE TURNING IN ALARM
 STAND BY THE BOX

Fire Chief s. Freiman has request ed that when a fire alarm is turned in from an alarm box, that the per son turning in the alarm stand by the box until the Department reach es it. Several alarms have been turned in recently and, when the members of the Fire Department ar rived on the scene, there was no one to direct them to the fire.
 MT. Freiman has further asked that people turn in alarms only when there is need of the Depart ment. and not call it out unneces- sarily. It costs the City of Juneau about $40 whenever an alarm is turned in, and recently there have been a number of false alarms that have caused the city unnecessary expense.
 Parents are asked by MT. Freimar to impress upon their boys the fact that dana ging the alarm boxes is also costing the city money. Every day or so it is necessary for the city to replace broken glass in the boxes. If people continue damag- ing them, the Council will be forced to place fine on anyone tamperine with alarm boxes.
