Raids in Sonora.

Washington Officials Are Not In
clined to Accept Texas Gov
clmor'S Oifcr for Cavalry
Bridges.

Nogales, Ariz., June 7.--At least
two Americans and 80 Mexfcans have
been killed by Yaquis and bandits in
the La Colorado district of Sonora,
Mexico, during the last two weeks,
according to the statement of nine
American mining men who arrived
from that neighborhood tonight
In the report on afafirs in Sonora
forwarded to the state department
by the returned mining men it is stat
ed that 10 Mexicans were killed by
Mexican bandits, and one American,
Charles Morgan, was shot in the foot
in raid at Navjos; five Mexicans
were killed by the Mexican bandits at
Muri, II miles from where r. S.
White, an American truck driver Of
Tucson. Ariz., was recently slain
1t is believed now that White was
killed by Mexican bandits, and not b
Yaquis as was at first reported, since
the tracks of his slavers showed that
they wore shoes and not the Yaqui
sandals.
The murder of c. w. P. Tevotee,
mining engineer, three days ago, I'M
dcubtedly was the work of the Yaouis
say the returned Americans. Two
Mexieans in, the automobile with
Tevotee and four other Mexicans ac-
companying the party on horseback
also are reported to have been killed
at the same time.

CENTRAL COLLEGE
DRIVE UNDER WAY

The state wide campaign for $780,
600 for Central College is now on with
full force. The program of the
Southern Baptist Convention adopted
at Atlanta recently for raising $75.-
00,0OO.0O0.00 and which includes this
Central College Campaign, is the lar
gest dubget ever before undertaken
bv anv religious body in the United
States. The Southern Methodist have
iust closed their great drive for $685.
900 100000. The Northern Baptist are
lust completing the raising of $780,
900 100000 for church financing. Last
year the EPISCOPAL raised something
over $6000.000.00 for pension fund
for aged ministers.
The religious bodies are just wax
ing up to their possibilities and obli-
cations, and we are glad to know that
Arkansas is among the first of the
Southern States to complete their
plans for big undertaking. Central
College is the only Baptist school
for girls in the state and deserves a
generous support in order that edu-
cational advantages may be offered
to a larger number of our splendid
young women.
1t is reported that more than one
hundred girls were turned away from
this school last year, because of lack
of room. Generous support of this
institution will be an investment in
character, which after all is the best
investment we can make. In COM
pairing investments it has been esti-
mated that $10,0O0.O0 in Liberty
Bonds BRINGS an income of $4,000 a
year At the same rate of interest,
the sum would paw tuition for seven
girls and leave $4,000 over. At the
legal rate of interest in this state, it
would nav tuition for eleven girls.
and $4,000 over, or would nay total
expenses for one girls, and tuition
for seven more, with $4,000 over.
The income from $859.14. invested in
Christian Education at thelegal rate
would paw tuition for onegirls each
year, as long as the school stands.
