INSURANCE AGENT IS
 VICTIM OF POISON.
Nc Cause Is Given to Give Credit to Theory
 of Suicide.

John L. Johnson, B years old, insurance agent, died at the City Hospital about 7:3O o'clock Wednesday morning, as the result of carbolic acid poisoning, according to attend ing physicians.
 Johnson's home was at 1721 1-2 Wright avenue where Healey & Roth's ambulance was called. Johnson was rushed to the City Hospital where he died within a few minutes after his arrival. According to local officials of the National Life Insurance Company of Chicago with offices at 713 1-2 Main street, Johnson had been an agent for the company for the past three months and twas a capable and willing worker. /" They also declared that they know of no cause why John son should have taken the poison with suicidal intent as he had been in the best of health and so for as they knew, had no financial wor- ries.
 ! Rob ert M. Johnson, a brother, with whom John L. lived, could not be located Wednesday morning to learn his version of his brothers death.
 Besides his brother, MT. Johnson is survived by his parents, MT. and Mrs. Robert l.. Johnson of McCrory, Ark. He was veteran of the world war.-Arkansas Dem ocrat, Sept. 29, 1920.
 The remains were shipped to McCrory where funeral ser vices were conducted at the home of the deceased's grand father, MT. J. E. Atkinson, by Rev. Guy Murphy, pastor of the local Methodist church. The remains were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery. MT. R. M. Johnson, a brother, of Little Rock, accompanied the remains. z

NEGROES ORGANIZE
 TO ELECT BLOUNT
yethargy of Democrats May Cause Surprise at General
 Election.

inc nomination of J. H. RIount. negro, as an independ- ont candidate for governor has created a situation that will bear watching during the nresent campaign, according to local Democrats. It is not nrobable, but it is possible, that if the negroes organize for their candidate and if the Democrats remain away from the polls, the negro men and women of the state can roll up bigger majority than the Democrats at the general election.
 This can be made possible, it is said, through the we'll known lethargy of the Dem ocrats during the general cleo ton and through complete or ganization of the negroes. Nomination in the Democratic primary in Arkansas has al- ways been considered equiva- } lent to election in November because there in never any thing like a close race be- tween Republican and Dem ocratic candidates. This sit uation has brought about an indifference of Democrats about voting in the general election.
 Arkansas negroes have no ambition to elect a governor, but they do expect to roll up a bigger vote for Blount than is given Wallace Townsend, Re- publican candidate, in protest against the alleged unfairness of the Republican party lead CTS in grabbing ,honors and offices for white Republicans and leaving the negro mem bers of the party out in the cold. It is an inter-party contest, they allege, and they are organizing to make demonstration of t h i r strength in revenge upon the aforementioned Republican party leaders.
 Through the Inter-Racial Commission, and ot h e r sources, it is learned that the negroes in all parts of the state are organizing, as they nave never organized before, Tn behalf of Blount. An in- stance of this is the action of the negro Republicans at Hele- na Saturday, who met as ''The republican County Central committee of Phillips County" ana urged the members of tnelr race and white Republi- cans opposed to Lilly Whit lsm', to cast their votes for J. Il. Blount.
 The committee urged "every republican in Phillips county" to register a protest against tne action of Lilly Whites" at the state convention by votlng for Blount. Harding ana Coolidge were endorsed, out as protest against the dcuon of the Lilly Whites in

SILKS-Stronger Demand
For Goods for Immediate Use

Mill agents and large jobbcrs who
have good quality silks on hand for
Immediate delivery report an increas-
ing number of sales to retailers. Within
the last week the retail business in
silks has taken a squirt throughout
the North and East, and retailers in
those sections are now buying goods
to fill the present demand. The spring
business that retailers are getting now,
however, has not stimulated them into
buying heavily for future use Even
strictly summer goods have not been
taken in large quantity by the retail
ers, according to selling agents.
Present retail demand is centered
largely on taffetas in brown and navy
and satinfaced goods in lighter shades
The use OF brown as a spring color is
new departure in the silk trade, and
has caused some holders of goods to
redye their lighter shades intb brown.
The principal shades being called for
in the satin-faced goods are Adriatic
blue, jade. coral, orchid and peach
bloom. One of the strongest sellers is
satin-faced crepe in these colors.
Silk departments in local retail
stores yesterday enjoyed large busi-
ness. Managers of these departments
without exception reported that sales
double those of any day last week.
Complaints against high prices are reg
istered by customers, but they con-
tinue to buy the better class and more
expensive goods, say the retailers.

COTTONS--Fusure Buying
in Print Cloths Increasing

During the last few days cotton
goods brokers have reported an in
creas'ng number of sales of gray or
unfinished print cloths to printers and
convertcrs for delivery as late as Sep-
tember. One large order went through
yesterday for 6s-72. fine construction,
at. 20 cents a yard for July, August
and September delivery. Spot prices
on this construction are held at 26
cents. 1t was said in the market that
only few more of these goods could be
obtained for late delivery. Until this
week future buying had been light.
brokers assert that some of the future
buying is being done by speculative
interests. Several large converters and
printers said yesterday that the rise
IN gray goods prices and the resump-
ton of activity in the market had not
ted them to change their conservative
policies adopted some weeks ago.
A considerable quantity of the stand
ard $3.50 print cloths for spot and
April-May delivery was bought ycster-
day at % cents yard, the high price
prevailing for spots last week.
Converters catering to the garment
manufacturing trades said yesterday
that their customers are still holding
off purchasing. The mems wear
trades, they asserted, bought heavily
some months ago and are now using
up the goods as fast as they are de-
livcrcd. The women's wear trade,
not purchased in anything like normal
quantities. Opinions regarding the
amount of business still to be done in
this field vary greatly

IEWELRY-Large Diamond
I'm ports Reporfed in January

Figures just made public show that
local importers received diamonds
valued at SS,094,130 during January
The value of cut stones was $7.2T 1874,
an unusual figure, while the value of
the uncut or rough diamonds was S816.-
296. Local importers assert that if this
IS any criterion of what the year is
going to develop for the jewelry trade
the greatest diamond year in the his
tory of the industry can be expected.
Amsterdam led in exporting pre-
cious stones to this country, the impor-
tation from the Netherlands being
placed at $5.581 ,437. while Antwerp be-
gins to show up again as factor, stand
ing next to Amsterdam, with exports
of s762,564. France is third, with ex-
ports Of $613 952, and England fourth,
with S307,575. In addition to these
large amounts American merchants re-
ceived SS,127 from British South Africa,
S2,112 from Switzerland, SLIP from
British Guiana and 1856 from Germany.
The discrepancy between the figures
of the Dutch and Belgian exports may
not show exactly the proportion Of
goods which came from Amsterdam and
Antwerp, because it is reported that
many stones that have been originally
cut in Antwerp have been sent to AM
sterdam and shipped from Holland ow-
ing to the advantage that was to be
gained by the difference in the rate Of
exchange. But even without these
shipments Antwerp during January
made the best showing that it has

Elk Horn Coal Fails
To Earn 1919 Dividends

The Elk Horn Coal Company failed
by s87O,912 to earn its 1919 preferred
and common dividends of S935,499 The
reason for this, according to the an
nual report issued yesterday to stock
holders, was the drop in total business
from $4,951, 1921 in 1918 to S2,S29,542 in
1919, Expenses, taxes, etc, absorbed
s2,057,196 Of the earnings, and depre
citation and depletion, $2SS,033, after
which operating profits amounted to
$4S4,313, against sl,7l2,65o in the year
before
Interest charges paid during the year
aggregated s41s,726, leaving net earn
ngs of $64.5 .5S7 available for dividends.
Holders of the preferred stock received
s395,576 in disbursements, while COM
mon shareholders were paid s539.923,
thereby causing a sS7O.912 deficit to
be made for the year. After this loss
had been deducted from previous
surplus the profit and loss balance
