cd Because He Would Not Hold Up
His Hands.

hold UP his hands when confronted
by two armed men last night about
$3.50 o'clock while on his way homo
from his shoe repair shop, w. T. Sax
on. about so years Of age, was pos
sibly fatally shot in the shadow of
church in Greenwood mill Village
where he lives. According to Chief OF
Police M. ID. Chandler: whom Saxon
asked to see after being carried to a
local hospital, he identified one OF the
assailants as John Burnett, mill en-
ployee. Hack Fuller, another mill en-
ployee. Is also under arrest.
When accosted by the hold-up men.
Saxon says he recognized them an.
laughed, thinking they lwere playing
a joke on him. Burnett, he claims,
told him II he did not hold up his
hands he would shoot. Saxon replied
that he did not have the grit to shoot
1t ls said, and received one bullet at
close range. The bullet apparently
was an explosive bullet. 1t ranged
downward through tho abdomen, tear
ing Jagged holes In the intesttnes, Ply
sicians say Bax6n has no chance Of
recovery.
The tragedy last night was the eli
max OF a series Of robberies and hold
ups. Two Bailey Military institute
cadets were robbed Of a small amount
OF jewelry few weeks ago, and two
other cadets, by refusing to hold up
their hands, bluffed three bandits into
flight last Friday night.

HALF OF ARKANSANS
 ARE OF VOTING AGE
(By United Press)

Washington, March 3O.-Approxi- mately half of the population of the United States is of voting age, if find ings announced by the census bureau today for two states in which age sta- tistics on the 1920 census returns have been worked out, indicate con- ditions in all others. In Arkansas in- dividuals ever 21 years constitute 49 , per cent of the states total pop lla- tion and in Alabama they amounted to 4S.7 per cent.
 The bureau is also finding more children in the country than in the cities. As far as the study has been completed, children under 15 years in urban areas of Alabama constituted 29.6 of the total population there, while in rural territory they compris- ed 41.7 of the total. Arkansas figures bore out the conclusion, giving 4O.2 per cent of children in the country and but 2S4 per cent in the cities
 Counting on the showing, the census bureau suggested that while it might indicate larger families in the country. 1t could also be taken as an extent of t~e migration to the cities by country children reaching maturity
 More than third of the country's total population in 1920 and nearly 70 per cent of the urban dwellers- 37,77O,114 persons, to be exact-lived in cities of 25,000 inhabitants or more Census bureau figures said approxi- mately 36 per cent of the total popu- lation was grouped in the 287 com munities in this class.
