once practically wilderness. Its development started twenty years ago. Blytheville, Ark. it's largest town, was twenty years old last spring. In 1910 it had population of 3,849. Tn 1920 the. population increased 675 pe;' cent, now being 6,447. The co.lty's population grew from 30,468 in 1910 to AZ, 32O in 1920, or 55.3 per cent.
 Crittendon county nearby gained 30.6 per cent. Craighead county 31.9 per cent and Phillips county 32.8 per cent. The bottom land or alluvial soil counties of Arkansas made the greatest population gains of any counties in Arkansas.
 What is true of the Arkansas al- luvial counties is true of the Mis- sissippi "delta region" and the Louisiana alluvial soil region. The settlers are becoming more and more numerous.
 The figures are considered strik- ing in view of the small per cent gain in total population for the states as a whole, due largely to the great exodus of the negro population. Wheras Mississippi s 1920 census shows a decrease in population since 1910, the bottom counties show big gains, indicating that the rich soil of the bottom counties is attracting large numbers of white farmers, many of whom are from northern states. They are finding that growing season of ten months each year makes it possible to raise livestock at min mum cost of production and that two crops of many products, such as clover after wheat or oats, two yields of corn, etc., are assets of tremendous worth. They are find ing also that the land values are much lower than those in older farming regions while, on the other hand, the soil is of such quality that it's earning capacity is certain to make the land more and more valuable.
 An alluvial empire of super soil" is the way the folks of the lower Mississippi valley refer to the country.

The cases in question are those of Frank Hicks, Ed Hicks, Frank Moore, J. E. Knox, Ed Coleman and Paul Hall. They were found guilty of murder by the lower court and this courts verdict was affirmed by the state supreme court. The cases were appealed to the United States Supreme Court where they were dnied review, the action being in effect an affirmation of the decision of the state supreme courts. The cases of six other Elaine negroes sentenced to death by the lower court now are pending in the state supreme court.
 Gov. Brough explained that the people of Phillips county, in which Elaine is located had been promised that no outside influence would be allowed to prevent full enforcement of the law and that in his opinion this promise had been responsible for the loyal manner in which Phil lips county residents supported off cers of the law when there was dan ger of mob violence being inflicted on the negroes charged with murder for participation in the riots.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. l5.-No cIemency will be shown in the cases of the six negroes under sentence of death for participation in the Elaine riots last year, and the fixing of dates for execution awaits only off ciaE notice from the United States Supreme Court that the cases will not be reviewed by that tribunal. according to statement issued late today by Gov. Charles H. Brough.
 In this statement the governor said he had reached definite conclusion that these negroes were guilty of murder in the first degree and that the sen nee imposed by the courts of Ark sas would not be coWmuted by him. The statement was made at the end of a conference with sew eral residents of Elaine, who urged the governor to allow the sentences to stand.

covery that artesian wells can be brought in' anywhere in the re zion are the three great factors that are paving the way flor develop ment.
 The Mississippi river finally has been controlled by the levees or earthern embankments, so that no floods in the lower valley are now feared. Drainage districts, or ganized like road districts, handle drainage problems. These under takings have had the support of the United States government which has contributed some $200,000,000 to the nations greatest reclamation project.
 Effective protection gainst water and the excellent water from arte- sian wells for drinking purposes have contributed enormously to i'm provement of health conditions, so that the region now has none of the dangers that it had ten years ago or even five years ago.
 Immigration has increased steadi- ly and thriving towns now exist where there were tracts ten years ago. Towns twenty years old have had phenominal growth, and the farms about them have been settled and put under the plough in pro- portion.
