TRIALS WE'RE EXPEDITIONS.

The trials Of the accused Negroes
were handicd with the greatest OK
Hcdltion, once the cases were pre-
pared. All the evidence was given by
members OF the union and virtually
every one of those indicted were ready
to plead guilty to murder in the
second degree when the coalition was
explained to him rather than 20 to
trial.
AS an example of the manner In
which the testimony came in, the
case OF Frank Hicks is Il good one.
The Negroes had all been told by Hill
that the Government was on their
side and that white lawyers from
Little Rock would take care Of them.
Hicks said that on Wednesday
morning when nc made two shots I'm
the direction of the four men COM
ing down the road, his idea was to
scare them. He wanted to know them
TO know that the Negroes were out
ana armed and that they were back
ing up the Government and that they
would have no white folks molesting
them. The members of the posse
were then put on the stand to show
that one OF these shots killed Bud
de Lee. That completed the case
ana the jury retired and returned al
most at once with the verdict of gull
ty.
Old man Coleman commended that
he did not fire shot. He said that
While the other Negroes were shoot
ing, he was standing up waving his
tnl1
union to give it to them, and he. was
IN the crowd which fired on the posse
lhe state showed that member of
the posse was killed by this fire and
rested with that testimony. The jury
IN this case took no longer to decide
than in that Of Frank Hicks.

SOON BACK AT WORK.
BY the last of the week, the Ne
EroCs who were not in Jail were back
ut work, picking cotton, or spending
their "seel money" One of the quaint
customs, and one to which Mr.. Falt-
haucr tried to apply modern business
principles that the tenant gets half
OF the proceeds OF the cotton seed no
matter how much he may be indebted
to the landlord for advanced provis-
ions.
The best lawyers in the county
were appointed by Judge J. Nj. Jack
son to defend the accused Negroes
Under the law which makes each party
to Il conspiracy guilty of all the Grim
cs which flow out of the conspiracy,
all might have been indicted for first
degree murder, but the court earnest
ly tried to administer Il faircr JUS
tice. OF the 100 Negroes indicted II
were sentenced to death. These were
Negroes who were shown to have fir
cd shots at white men.
Among them were the Hicks broth
ers, who had been officers Of the Hoop
Spur Union; ED. Coleman, who was
past sixty, and whose reputation had
been good all his life and J. e. Knox,
n preacher. Virtually all Of the Ne
grOes convicted We're Of the class of
steady workers, considered in the
South TO be the best of the race
The cases were prepared with great
care before court convened. The jury
was all white, and there was no de-
lay in finding verdicts. This is the
only thing about the affairs which has
an evil look.
Vcrdicts found in two or seven
minutes look much like prcarrangc.
ment, but in these cases the stories
OF the Negroes convicted themselves.
Some Of The lawyers refused to al.
low their clients to go on the stand,
because the story they had to tell
made the cases worse for the defend
ants than that OF outside witnesses.

A Commission Is Needed for Building a
National System Of Highways
By DR.. H. M. ROWE. Pas. President. A. A. A.

That a commission a contemplated by the Townsend Bankhead bill
will be the method Of administration adopted by congress for building q
national highway system is indicated not only by public sentiment but
by the weight of government precedent.
Highways should be considered in the same class Of public activity
as railways, waterways, merchant marine, the national banking system,
and, in fact, any of the great distinctly national undertakings. 1t seems
a selfevdent proposition that the building of a national system Of high.
ways will form an enterprise Of such magnitude and such completely as
to put it entirely beyond the sphere Of a single bureau or other subdi.
vision of an executive department.
Highways are Of such an al~lembracing and general Importance as
to make it impracticabe to intrust the task as a minor undertaking to
any single government department. A commission would consider the
needs of all of the departments.
From the standpoint of directness, Of responsibility, timeGness Of
action and comprehensveness of knowledge a commission devoing its
whole time to the one single task could not fail to accomplish far greater
results than would be possible through the medium of a cabinet officer
who would be devoting the greater part of his time and attention to mat
tiers wholly foreign to highways. 1t would seem that the commission plan
is unassailable.

The following simple recipes have
no harmful ingredients and will ac-
complish results as well as ready
mixed remedies for the same ailments.
An A%stringent Cream.
A ELECTROMAGNETIC %astringent
cream is made from four ounces of
mutton tallOw, one and a quarter
ounces of glycerin. One-half a dram
of tincture of benzoin, n quarter of a
dram Of spirits of camphor. One-eighth
of a dram of powdered alum. one-quar-
ter of u dram of Russian isinglass and
One-half nm ounce of rose water. The
rose water is warmed In a china cup
set In hot water and the isinglass is
dissolved In II. The mutton tallOw.
which has previously been tried out
at a gentle heat and added to the ely
cerin. is then blended with the rose
water. and the other ingredients are
added while the mixture is being
beaten. This makes a cream which is
astringent, tightening the skin, with
out allowing II to become fabby. as
often happens when one Is reducing
flesh.
Receding Gums.
Good teeth are requisite for both
health and good looks. Go To a dentist
and have the tartar removed from I'M
der and around the gums, her use
table salt on the gums several times
a day. Scrub the teeth downward,
never crosswise. The teeth should be
cleaned before breakfast. after each
meal and before retiring.
For a Slight Scar.
Spirits of camphor, touching the
skin with 1t twice a day, will some
times eradicate the spots left from
pimples. The liquid should be gently
rubbed in.
To Remove corns.
Salicyclic acid, ! dram; trim the
cOrn with IA very sharp knife or razor
blade. Apply the acid; cover with a
piece Of court plaster. In three days
remove the plaster and the corn will
come with II. Soft corns may be cured

The Producer Who Considers Utility Only
and Not Beauty Will Fail
By o r. S. JOHNS. Chairman Exposition Committee

The primary purpose of the Art league in originating and planning
the st. Louis Exposition of Industrial Arts and Crafts is to awaken the
business men to the Importance of original designs in industry. The
producer who considers utility only without regard to beauty will fail.
The close of the war marks the beginning of a tremendous oppor
tunity for American business in the world market. We must compete
with the manufacturers of the world not alone in quality and price, but in
design. Beauty of design, or line, form, coor-the perfect combination
of beauty and utilty-is now a governing factor in craftsmanship.
America lacks both schools of design and teachers of design. Amer
lean business men-for the subject is of vital interest not only to manu-
facturers but to all business mel who handle their products-must awaken
to the necessity of making adequate provision for this vital necessity. We
should develop our own industrial arts and crafts-our own designers and
craftsmen.
We hope in this preliminary st. Louis exposition to lay the founda-
ton for a great national exposition, which will exhibit the industrial arts
and crafts of the United States. We hope eventually to have an interna-
tonal exposition.
