der arrest in New Orleans. In connec-
tion with an indictment returned re

Moore Is charged in the Indictment

ing Monday night that he had received
a check for 10000 from the county
board OF education to pay back pay OF

awarded an increase.
Checks viii reach all the teachers,
white and colored, in a few days. The
raise represents a fiat advance Of $40
a month for white teachers and from
81 to IS a month for colored. A re-
quest was presented to che board FOR
Increased pay for teachers IN the col

Of OLD
COLLEGE ISSUE
Great Agricultural School May
Be Built at Bolton Is
Bonds Voted.

The future Of Bolton college, one OF
the historic old schools OF Shelby coun-
ty, will probably be decided by the
action OF the voters Of the county when
they vote upon the proposed $3.50, 900
bond issue some time during May or
June.
A proposition Is under consideration
for turning over the complete control
OF the school and the 1,200-acre farm
on which it Is located to the county
board of education.
The board and the county superin-
tendent, Miss Charl o. Williams, are
conducting the school this year, but
they have control only over the school
itself and about 100 acres Of ground.
The board of trustees of Bolton college
retained the remainder of the land,
which is said to produce crops of a
value Of about 5000 a year.
The farm and the original old school
years ago by the late Wade Bolton and
the school has been known as Bolton
college for 40 years or more.
For the past, 10 years the school was
conducted by a board of trustees, an
annual appropriation for it's mainte-
nance being made by the county court.
Several new buildings were erected and
much expensive farm machinery was
bought, but the trustees exceeded the
appropriation and were forced to sell
much of the live stock and abandon
their plans. A bond issue Of $3.50, 900,
provided for two years ago, was held
invalid.
A new bill, however, curing the legal
defects of the former act, will provide
funds II approved by the voters Of the
county for expanding the work OF the
school and providing needed facilities.
Some of the former trustees OF the
school favor making OF 1t a real agri-
cultural college, to which students from
adjacent counties might be admitted,
as well as those from Shelby county. I
Others believe that the school and
the entire tract of | 200 acres should be
turned over to the county school au-
thorities to be conducted as the county
agricultural high school. There is on
the tract, besides the main college
building, another school building used
as a county grade school.
The school Is in a fine agricultural
section of the county, about four miles
from Brunswick.
After the voters have decided as to
the proposed bond issue, conferences
will be held between members Of the
board Of trustees and the members Of
tn county board Of education and others
interested in the future Of the old col
lege TO determine what its future
shall be,

Perry Immediately upon recipe Of the
Hon. Q. IT. Perry,
Sheriff, Shelby county:
Dear Sheriff. am i~nclosing you
herewith telegram, which ] received
this morning, | see by The News
Scimitar that you have landed Laugh
ter in jail. Congratulations"
Sheriff Perry, upon arriving In Lit
tie Rock en- route to Memphis, learned
there that a message had been sent
from Hot Springs asking that both he
and Laughter be detained there until
a representative could be sent from
Hot Springs. No action was taken in
response to this message, the sender
of which is not known,
daughters Last Chance.
Efforts to detain Sheriff Perry In
Jail at either place, according to au-
thorities, would probably have resulted
in daughters escape.
According to Sheriff Perry, who stat
ed Tuesday that he intends to make
a. thorough probe of the entire affair,
1t is not likely that officials at either
Little Rock or Forrest City would have
detained him, knowing him as well as
they do and knowing the details of
daughters case.
Laughter, who has been in the Shelby
Jail since Friday morning, was taken
to the workhouse Tuesday to begin his
sentence.
1t is known that Laughter had high
official protection at Hot Springs, as
his influence reached the chief of po-
lice or daughters friends forged the
signature of the chief to the telegram
remains to be seen.

Laughter had been arrested, he was

He at once suspected a plot was on
