We are no, at all surprised that so
many of our good people are leaving
for Missouri. Such things as the auto
tax here will drive many more away
Taxes in Missouri ON a touring car

are twice as much. The state OF Mis-

while Arkansas has no roads, with a
large and oppressive taxation.
After God had made man in his own

he became living soul. This we
found to be good. But since we are
all descended from Adam, both Jew
and Gentle, the question which arises
before us is this: Why was 1t that
Christ chose the Jews as His people
rather than the Gentiles? Why did
lie make the difference? We ask an
explanation of the above question as
we desire to understand the reason for
the distinction between the two.

 / At Russellville

RUSSELLVILLE, Ala, Au- gust 29.-(Special. .)--Barring of klansmen as jurors and a plea of not guilty by Porter Puckett featured Puckett's trial here, today on a charge of criminal attack on a little 11-year-old Vina, Ala., girl, his niece. She died a few days later as a result, it was al- legged.
 The trial proceeded swiftly and the case was given over to the jury at 0:sO o'clock. At 1f:SO o'clock t0nlght th6 l2 men retired for the night. They apparently were having trouble agreeing on a verdict.
 Travis Williams, attorney for Puckett, asked that members of the klansbe prevented from serving on the tliry. He was supported by Judge Charlea P, AlmOn, trial judge, who ruled that under q decision of the su- prenle court no member of an Organi- Eation which has offered reward for an arrest can serve as Jurymen in the case.
 Trouble Getting Jury
 Az q result several of the jurymen were excused after they declined to ans sWer questions aa to whether they arc members of the klan or not, The jury was finally secured about noon and the trial opened at two o'clock. 6ey- eral yeniremen wer0 diamisaed because they had q xsa opinions n the ease. Y

 Tine grand jury returned 14h in- dictments during its feuE day session which began Monday morning, Most of these were grand larceny, robbery, mad murdey eases against negroes, if is understood.

 The report fos file weeks activities was informally presented and contained no reference tQA theiE jaeGmpiete probe of city hall affairs. Their findings will probably be discussed when q final re- port is made jR HeptsmbeF before the present jury is discharged and the new one sworn in. /
 Report Surprise Failure to make any revelations con. corning their findings with regard to the city was considerable shock te many court house 'knOw alls" who pre- dicted Monday that something would happen" when the grand jury con tinued it's probe, started in July, of municipal accounts. With the appear ance of F. Hopkinson Smith,; who is conducting the audit of the city books, before. the Investigating body Monday, the belief that revelations were to be made, became more deep-seated. Fri day, however, when no new develop mepts occurred, the rumors suddenly vanished.
 The fall term of criminal court will be busy one, according to present in- dications. City appeal cases, a large number of eases passed from last term and several hundred new cases grow ing out of indictments returned at the July and August sessions of the pres ent grand jury, as well as many re- turned by the grand jury which served from April to June, will help to swell i the heavy criminal docket.

 Mr. Bryan was one or tle leaders in the light against naming the klan in the democratic platform and his efforts to prevent it was one of the features of the work of the platform committee.
