NEGRO WAS LYNCHED
BY A MOB AT CONWAY
I _
Charged With Assaulting Mrs. Law
rence, Killing Her Little Son
and Stabbing Her Baby.
Conway, Ark. Sept. *22.- -Frank
Brown, a negro who was arrested j
several days ago as a suspect in ;
connection with the assault upon
Mrs. Lawrence and the killing of
her son here on the previous
Thursday night, was taken from
the jail and lynched by a mob at
ten o’clock tonight. The negro
was hanged to a tree in front of
the house where the crime was
committed.
The work of the mob was ac
complished so quietly that many
residents of the town knew noth
ing of what was transpiring and
no attempt was made to interfere
with the mob. After accomplishing
its purpose the members of the
mob disappeared and there is no
excitement here now.
It is reported that Mrs. Law
itmre today made a statement to
several women to the effect (hat
Brown was the negro who com
mitted the crime. She had pre
viously stated that she knew the
negro by sight, but so far as
known had never stated that sin*
knew his name. She stated to
day, it is claimed, that Brown was
working on tin* street near the!
house for some time and came to
her house for water several times.
Mrs. Lawrence told several per
sons this evening that Frank;
j Brown was the guilty party, and
| it is reported that Brown told the*
! mob that he committed the crime
I j
and begged not to be burned.
Sheriff Harrell was in Little
Rock when the lynching occurred
land when apprised of the facts
| over the telephone, said he believ
j ed the people had hanged the
| wrong man.
There was a reward of Sl.lOOl
offered for the arrest and convic
tion of the guilty party, $500 hav
ing been offered by the governor
and §600 by the people of Con - j
way.

MARRIED HIS SISTER.
—
A .Jefferson City lady decided
to scare her husband who was
quite a hard drinker, so he would
reform. To do this she procured
the costume of a devil he had worn
in a masquerade. The next time
! the erring spouse came home home
feeling happy she quickly donned |
the costume. As he opened the
door she stepped forward and said
in sepulchral tones: “Come with
me—1 am the devil.” The result
rather startled her, as the res
ponse which greeted her was: “Zat
so* Shake, oP boy, I’m your
brother-in-law. 1 married your
sister.’’ Kansas City Journal.

THE HOUSE WHERE I WAS
BORN.
Round the little old deserted house
the noisome weeds are growing.
And the wind udhindered wanders
through the broken western door:
Every rafter, beam and sash the finger
marks of time are showing.
And decay is running riot o'er the
rubbish-covered floor.
Here a rotting pillar staggers: there
an aged beam is falling;
Over yonder sags the mantlepiece, de
jected and forlorn.
There is helplessness pathetic, and the
voice of Old Age calling
]• rum each crumbling hit of mortar in
the house where 1 was born.
Here, before the ancient fireplace,
where the dust of earth Is lying,
1 first saw the future pictured as 1
watched the embers glow—
Here 1 lay in boyish dreaming, while
shadows, Hitting, flying,
Were a hundred ghosts of fancy as
they wandered to and fro.
Little knew 1 of the Universe which
spread itself around me
In a canopy of azure and a sta of gold
en corn—
My world was on the hearthstone
where my childhood dreaming
found me;
1 was king—and my dominion was the
house where I was born.
They were happy days -God bless them
—for my feet had ne’er been
ttraying
Where the soul is bruised and broken
by the brambles of turmoil;
But the long years of anxiety my tem
ples will soon he graying,
And my weary form bowed earthward
'neath tin* heavy hand of toil.
Earth was then a wonder palace —
from the western window gazing.
1 belelc the. New Moon hanging like
a shining silver horn;
And far down upon the heavens bright
the Evening Star was blazing—
Both were shining just to please me,
o’er the house where 1 was born.
1 have passed from it forever—all the
wonder and the glamour
Of flic little western w indow from the
world has worn away;
1 have seen its disappointments; 1
have heard its empty clamor;
And the house 1 once thought won
derful—how pitiful today!
But v ho knows? Perhaps eternity
in? y firing a realizing
Of the tilings my fancy painted over
eh‘ Id hood's early morn;
And, nay hap, the gift _pf prophecy
waafter all, arising
In my heart when 1 lay dreaming in
the house where 1 was born.

FARMERS URGED TO
HOLD COTTON BACK
State President of Southern Cotton
ton Association Issues an Ad
dress to Cotton Growers.
To the people of Arkansas:
During the past two weeks the
receipts of cotton at the ports have
| been enormous, showing beyond
! all question of doubt that thous
ands of of farmers are marketing
I their cotton as rapidly as it can be
picked and ginned. It is absolute
ly necessary that the producers
check the heavy receipts, by hold
ing the cotton off the market. We
expect to advance the price to It
cents, as recommended by the
Southern Cotton Association at
Asheville, X. C., on the 7th inst.
To do this, 1 recommend that there
be meetings called in all the town
ships of the several counties of
this state, and pass resolutions to
hold for the price agreen upon, a*
above stated, and to take a deter
mined stand against the present
strong combinations which have
been formed to defeat us in our ef
forts to secure fair prices for our
products. The bearish speculators
in New York, and the combined
spinners of Europe and New Eng
land, are moving heaven and earth
to cripple these farmers’ organ i
i zations and depress prices to much
lower levels.
The Farmers’ Educational and
Co-operative Union, The Ameri
can Society of Equity and the Far
mers’ Alliance are all working in
thorough harmony with the South
jern Cotton Association. All the.se
strong farmers’ organizations are
I committed to minimum price of
11 cents, and are urging their
members to stand firm.
1 would especially urge the
county officials of the Southern
Cotton Association to do all in
their power to keep this matter
i before their people, and to call
i meetings and devise means by
I which you can keep them posted
on this vital question. We are
1 faced with a short crop, with an
enormous demand on the part of
the mills, who are selling their
i cotton goods at high prices, and
I there should be no difficulty in ad
vancing the price to 11 cents per
pound, if the farmers will only
i check the heavy movement to the
market. The time for action has
! come, and if we would free our
selves from the oppression of the
“Bearish speculators” and hold
the ground we have already gain
ed, we must act and act now.
