OIL TROUGH GIN
ADDS NEW MACHINE
Griffith & Pelley Install Machine
That Cleans Cotton and Helps
Farmer Get Better Price
Oil Trough, Nov. 12.—A ma
chine that cleans cotton, taking
the trash, bolls, hulls and dirt ou
of it, has been added to the equipt
ment of Griffith & Pelley’s gin at
Oil Trough.
The cotton is put through this
new machine by the suction sys
tem as it is unloaded from the
wagon and before it goes through
the gin-stands, and, if the cotton
is dry, all the pieces of bolls, hulls
and dirt are removed, and nearly
all the small pieces of trash are
taken out. The cotton then goes
through the gin-stands via the
suction route, with no more troub
le or delay than if it had been un
loaded directly into the gin-stands,
and when the lint comes from the
press, baled and ready for sale, it
makes a sample that is clean and
pretty and that sells readily for $6
to $8 per bale more than cotton
that is ginned in the old way.
It is certainly a great improv
ment and Griffith & Pelley are to
be congratulated upon their efforts
to give the farmers the very best
service. Although this addition to
their already modern plant is a
very expensive machine, and its
use increases the value of cotton,
Griffith & Pelley have not increas
ed the price of ginning, and say
that the new machine was put in
in order to give the farmers the
very best service obtainable.
BAD FREIGHT WRECK
A disastrous freight wreck oc
curred Tuesday night at O’Neal,
about 12 miles west of Batesville,
when 10 freight cars went into the
ditch. Several cars were complete
ly demolished and the track was
torn up for some distance, delay
ing traffic about 15 hours. No one
was hurt.

Trough spentyesterday in town on
business. Mr. Caldwell has been
freely mentioned as a candidate
for state senator but he informs
The Journal that he is out of poli
tics for the present and will not

GLAD ARKANSAS
“IS GOING DRY”
One of Newark’s Veteran Prohi’s
Writes From Texas to Express
Gratitude at Dry Victory
Editor Journal.—Will give you
a few dots from these parts I
have been here one month today.
This is strictly a Southern country.
This town has about 3,000 popula
tion, with perhaps 1,000 negroes
and Mexicans, but the white man
is in control. As you meet a negro
on the road anywhere he tips his
hat to you as in ante-bellum days.
This is a prairie county and they
do not grow anything much close
to here but rice and a few Irish
potatoes. In the Colorado river
bottoms they have fine land and
grow corn, cotton, potatoes, sugar
cane, alfalfa and different grasses,
but it was so dry this year they
claim about only one-fourth of a
crop. This town has two rice mills
and one-sugar factory, which they
claim cost $250,000. They have
open saloons here and from what I
see in Texas papers, nearly all
Southern Texas towns have
saloons, though I see that the anti
saloon forces have called a meet
ing to try to nominate a man on
the Democratic ticket that is in
favor of state wide prohibition. So
it will not be long until things will
begin to warm up on that ques
tion.
I was so glad to see that the
whiskey men got beat in the su
preme court in good old Arkansas.
That has been my vote and my
prayers to God for years. Now I
hope and pray that the officers
and people will see that the law is
enforced.
It is warm like the latter part of
May here today; has not been near
cool enough to frost yet, though
there has been two Northers since
I have been here that made the
fire feel good for five or six hours.
Grass is green and growing, and
we eat fresh vegetables out of the
garden any day we want them.
Roses and flowers are in full bloom
and look fresh like they do there
in May. Best wishes to you and
yours. Give my kindest regards to
old friends. Yours very truly.
J. W. Barnett.

BROTHERS HELD ON
MURDER CHARGE
Missouri Man Murdered at Newport
and Bert and Jim Pullman are
Held For the Crime
Newport, Nov. 11. — George
Fondring of Columbia, Mo.,a horse
trader, was murdered about 7
o’clock Saturday night while on
his way from Newport to his camp
one mile north of town. Bert Pull
man, a cripple, and his brother,
Jim Pullman, both horse traders,
have been arrestfcd pending an in
vestigation
The murdered man had been
camping with his wife and moth
er-in-law, Mrs. Sarah McCartney,
at the Confederate park near here.
Bert Pullman was taken into cus
tody by Sheriff McCuiston and Of
ficer Atkinson, while the brother
was arrested by Officer Payne.
The former tells of finding the
murdered man some distance from
his wagon. His story was contra
dicted by other witnesses before
the coroner’s jury, which conduct
ed and inquiry into the death.
Fondring’s body was sent to Co
lumbia, Mo., for burial.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
As a moving picture show con
cerns the general public I deem it
proper to take this method to in
form our patrons of the future of
our picture show and also to ex
plain why it is at present suspend
ed.
Before I purchased the machine
and fitted up the show the owner
of the hall made me terms as fol
lows: To rent it to me for 25 per
cent of receipts untill I got ready
to pay him $20 per month for it.
Early in October I notified him
that I would begin November 1st
and pay him by the month. The
last picture show in October netted
him $5.30 and when we started to
show the first time in November
he came up and said he had decid
ed he wouldn’t let us have it for
$20 per month but must have 25
per cent as business from now on
would be better and that he hadn’t
gotten enough money out of his
hall yet and unless we would pay
him 25 per cent we could not show
and that he would probably put in
a picture show himself, then he
demanded the keys and locked us
out and the machine in.
We are trying to get another
place to continue the show and
wish to thank our friends for their
past patronage and solicit your
patronage in the future. We have
not made anything in the business
in the past but with your patron
age we hope to do better this win
ter. Very Truly.
Adv W. D. and Anise Hinson.
FOUR KILLED WHEN
BOILER EXPLODES
Accident at White County Sawmill
Kills Four White Men and To
tally Wrecks Plant
Russell, Nov. 11.— Four men
were killed when a 60 horse-pow
er boiler at Henry Roetzel’s saw
mill near Russell, exploded at 7:30
o’clock this morning.
The dead are: John Hatfield,
aged 35, block setter. William
Hatfield, aged 25. Ed Larrimore,
firemam William Davis, aged 18.
He was hurled 50 feet and his
right leg torn off, but lived for
two hours after the explosion.
It is said that the explosion wras
caused by allowing the water in
the boiler to get too low after
which cold water was suddenly
turned into the overheated boiler.
The force of the explosion was
felt for a radius of three miles. In
the towm of Russell, two miles
west of the mill, window panes
were rattled by the force of the
explosion. The mill was complete
ly wrecked. The engine and other
machinery were reduced to a mass
of twisted scrap iron.
There were five men at the mill
at the time of the accident. The
only one to escape was M. T.
Wright, head sawyer, who had left
the sawmill but a few minutes be
fore to go to another building to
figure on a bill of lumber.
