FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1904
FAVORS SEGREGATION.
The segregation proposition,
which promises to he a lively issue
at the ensuing session of the Leg
islature, has received the support,
outspokenly, of at least one mem
ber of the Senate, Hon. R. R. Ad
ams, editor of the Sheridan Head
light, who says:
“The time was when the educa
tion of the negro was thought to
be beneficial to the South in gen-,
oral, but that is proven to be a
mistake. It accrues only to the j
blacks. Whatever education the
colored people receive from the I
public schools is a gift to them b.\
the generosity of the white peo
ple, which they manifestly do not
appreciate, nor do they show a ■
willingness to return such favors
in other particulars. It' they ob
durately continue to support poli
cies detrimental to the whole
South, including themselves, they
should be limited to do so from the
l>owers of their own resources.
Under the circumstances it is very
likely that the segregation bill will
be passed by the next Legisla
ture,”

Abscess.

Miss, wiiies, Aug. 15. 1902: "I
■wrtlit to say a word of praise for,
Ballard's Snow Liniment. I step
ped on a nail, widen caused Un
cords in my leg to contract and
an abscess to rise in my knee,
and the doctor told me that i
would have a stiff leg, so one day
1 went to ,1. F. Lord’s drily stoic
(who is now in Denver, Colo.)
He recommended a botileof Snow
Liniment. I got a 50c si/,“. and it
cured my leg. It is the best lini
ment in tlie world.”
Abscesses, with few exceptions,

sult from blows or from foreign
bodies, introduced into the skin
or flesh, such assplinters, ;horns,

SHERIFF MORGAN KILLED
Shot Down on the Street at Bates
ville Late Thursday Evening.
Slain by Robert Crosby, an Escaped Prisoner, Who
Was Immediately Captured and Narrowly
Escaped Being Lynched by Enraged
Citizens of the County.
Sheriff Jeff I). Morgan was shot
and instantly killed at o’clock
Thursday evening of last week by
Robert Crosby, who had escaped
from the Fulton county jail at Sa
lem. The killing occurred on
Main street in Batesville.
Sheriff Morgan learned that the
man was in town, and went to ar
rest him. When he placed the fu
gitive under arrest Crosby said
‘"all right,” and pretended to sub
mit, but suddenly dashed down his
grip and in an instant had shot
Sheriff Morgan in the heart. Sher
iff Morgan was shot once as he
fell.
Many people being on the street,
pursuit was instantly taken up.
James Hardy, who was near by,
rushed and grabbed up Morgan’s
pistol and tired at Crosby as Ik.*
ran. Then murderer also tired at
Hardy, but neither was hit.
Hardy was so close on his heels
and so many others pursuing that
he took refuge in a large barn near
the depot. By this time dusk was
coming, and the crowd soon sur
rounded the block and hundreds of
men gathered with weapons. The
barn was surrounded and the low
er part of the structure was enter
ed. Numerous shots were tired
into the hay in the loft.
Finally the man yelled “Stop,”
and came out and surrendered.
Then came a grand struggle to
lynch him.
Hundreds of frenzied citizens
almost fought with each other,
i
some to lynch and some to take >
him to jail, and the trip to the jail *
was almost a riot.
The mob lacked a leader, or the
man would have been hanged on
the street.
A rope was produced, and al
most a tight was necessary to pre-!
vent the lynching. After a long'
struggle the heroism of brave citi
zens succeeded in getting Crosby
in jail, where he was placed under
guard.
CKOSBY A MKHK BOY.
Robert Crosby, who fired the
fatal shot that, ended the life of one
of the county's noblest and most
beloved citizens, is only 'i'i years
old, and is a native of Indepen
dence county lie was born near
Cushman, and has a mother and
two sisters now living near that
place. After escaping from the
Fulton county jail he located in
Iowa where he remained until a
short time ago.
lie arrived in liatesville on the
local Thursday evening and had
gone to Hardy & Warren's livery
stable to secure a rig to drive out
to his mother’s where he expected
to stay a few days and leave the :
community again secretly.
The crime for which Crosby first
got into trouble was robbing, a
store in Izard county. A short
time after the robbery he was ap
prehended and placed in the Ful
ton county jail. Ho escaped jail
by knocking the jailer in the head,
and since that time has been hid
from justice.
CK< >SHY \s ST AT EM ENT.
The Batesville Bee states that a
representative of that paper called
on Crosby at the jail, and Crosby
stated that he did not understand
why it was that he shot Mr. Mor
gan, and that he did not intend to
do such a thing.
UIOGKA1MIICAL SKETCH.
.Jefferson Davis Morgan was n
native of Independence county,
and was born and raised in Green
brier township. lie was 41 years
of age.
He was educated in the common
schools, and attended one term at
the Arkansas (ollege at Batesville.
In IS,SH he was married to Mrs.
Mollie Edringtor, of Kentucky.
Six children, all girls, were born
unto them, all of whom and the
widow survive him.
He had served two terms as con
stable of Greenbrier township,and
had also served as deputy sheriff.
In lSNS he was a candidate for as
sessor, but was defeated by Win.
Ham. In 1902 he was a candidate
for sheriff, and in spite of tin* fact
that there were a number of other
very popular men in the race, Mr.
Morgan was elected by a hand
some majority, and had served
hardly one term at the time of his
tragic death. .
He made the county a faithful
add efficient officer, and his death
is deeply and universally regrett-'
ed. In his death Independence
county las lost one of its noblest
citizens, and a man whose place, !
both as an officer and as a man,
will be hard to till.
OUR TEHPERANCE LAWS.
____ i
The Gazette says that Arkansas
has the best temperance laws in
the Union of states. Each county
is free to vote its wishes concern
ing the liquor traffic. Forty-nine
nut of seventy-five counties re
fently voted against license, leaving
twenty-six counties in which the
sale of intoxicating liquors will be
legalized. Each county can try li
cense or it can try prohibition,and
be guided by experience. The
law is Democratic in that it affords
local self-government.
