VALUE OF LUMBER OUTPUT
Arkanas Is One of the Leading States
in Value of Lumber Produed.
Arkansas remains among' the
leading states of the Union in the
lumber industry. The lastest re
port of the government forest ser
vice shows that Arkansas stands
first as a producer of red gum and
cottonwood and second in its cut
of yellow pine, hickory, cypress
and red oak.
Iir total output of all kinds of
woods Arkansas stands sixih
among the states. This is a posi
tion of importance that should be
fully appreciated by our citizens.
It should he taken advantage of to
widely advertise our splendid re
sources throughout other sections
of the Union. A few years ago
Arkansas was far down in the list
as regards the amount of lumber
produced, but today she stands
among the first half-dozen states of
the country.
According ro me government s
report, the lumber cut in Arkan
sas in the .year 1906 was 1,448,
589,000, or about 5 per cent of the
total cut of 30,502,961,000 feet.
The report shows that the 466
mills in Arkansas reported a total
of 1,488,589,000 feet cut during
the year. Of this, 1,084,263,000
was soft wood and 404,326,000 feet
hardwood. The number of mills
using each variety of wood and
the number of feet of each species
cut in Arkansas is given in the
following table:
No. Mills. M. Feet.
Yellow pine.. ..235 1,024,011
White oak.270 100,502
Red gum.148 91,942
Cottonwood.... 66 90,920
Red oak.214 67,514
Cypress. 98 60,252

Elm. 54 9.321
Tupelo. 2,828
Yrellow poplar.. .. 1,650
Walnut. 136
Mixed. 13,217
Twenty-nine per cent of the red
gum cut in the country came from
Arkansas. The state also led in
cottonwood, having cut 90,920,000
feet, or 38 per cent of the total.
1,937 MEN INJURED.
Reports made out in the offices
of the Iron Mountain railroad, in
Baring Cross, show that 1,937 em
ployes of that road, working either
in the shops at Baring Cross or
on the Valley or Central divisions,
were injured between April 14,
1906, and .January 1, 1907. No
reports have been prepared on the
total number of accidents that oc
curred during the entire year,
from January 1, 1906, to January
1, 1907, but the number would ex
ceed 2,000. 1 ei ' ar.' probably j

SUPPER AT PLEASANT HILL.
To The Newark Journal:
The box supper at Pleasant Hill
church was well attended. The
best of order and {rood behavior
prevailed and the occasion well
enjoyed b.v every one present.
After the boxes were all sold, and
the purchaser and his best girl had
feasted on the contents, there was
a cake, presented by Mrs. M. P.
Holcombe, to be sold for the best
looking girl present. Miss Alice
Sandifer, Miss Cora Curtis and
Miss Ellen McAhron were the
contestants. After a spirited and
good natured light the contest was
decided in favor of Miss Cora
Curtis, the cake bringing $58.90,
after which there was a cake pres
ented, with a gold ring in it, by
Mrs. Pete Fortune. Mr. Scott
[Stockard of Magness was the
lucky one to get the ring. This
closed the program for the even
ing. The committee in charge
proceeded to count the proceeds
and reported a total of $68.85.
I'he members of Pleasant Hill
church thank all who were pres

THE CRIME OF PERJURY
Eminent Jurist’s Opinion of Wit
nesses Who Have Bad Memory.
The following extract from
Judge John H. Rogers recent
charge to the federal grand jury at
Fort Smith, has been published and
favorably commented upon by a
number of the state papers. It is
well worthy of the careful perusal
of any citizen.
“When illicit distilling is per
mitted in a community,” said he,
“every person in the community
becomes involved and corrupted;
every case in state or federal
courts finds its witnesses corrupt
ed by interest or fear, and dodge
in cases having nothing directly to
do with the distilling. It is wrontr
from the foundation, defraudii.g :
government and corrupting and
debauching the community. If
crimes against the laws of the
state or nation are allowed to exist
the moral sentiment of the com
munity drops to their level. That
condition has existed in this com
munity, when gambling houses
and saloons were allowed to run
wide open in open vialation of law
and order. I am glad to say that
a better sentiment has swept this
condition out of existence here.
In cases where such violations of
law are allowed to exist unrebuk
ed, officers and grand and petit
jurors have violated their solemn
oaths. It is a wrong and a shame
where such conditions are allowed
to exist.” After instructions re
lating to counterfeiting, violations
of the postal laws and making
fraudulent claims, Judge Rogers
dwelt at length on the crime of
perjnry. “There is another crime
so frequently committed,” said he,
“and very few cases which are not
suojeci tons evil influence; neiiner
is it confined to the poor and hum
ble, it throws its shadow across
bank and trust organizations, and
even the chief officer of a great
insurance company is now under
indictment on this charge. It
throws its influence over the bank
ruptcy law and converts a humane
law into a weapon for fraud which
has attached disgrace even to the
word “bankrupt.” After giving
the jury suggestions aa to the de
tection of perjury and to the credi
bility of witnesses, the judge said
in illustration: “The probabilities
should be weighed. To illustrate:
In recent prosecutions in this city
we have heard many ‘I don’t
know,’ and T don’t remembers,’
and such subterfuges. You can’t
tell me that a man can commit a
crime against the laws or take
part in the commission of crime,
as lias been shown by the gambling
cases and forget it all in few
weeks. The witness who is glib
about the things he wants to tell
and who don’t know’ or ‘don’t
remember’ the things he does not
want t«. tell, is committing per
jury.”
DRAINAGE CAMPAIGN.
A campaign in behalf of good
roads Mid drainage, to be waged
in Arkansas and Louisana, has
been planned by the Missouri
Pacific Railway Company, the De
partment of Agriculture and the
United States Commission of Pub
lic Roads.
This movement, which is one of
the most unique of recent years,
from the fact that the government
and a corporation are to co-operate
for a joint end, has as its object
the education of the people in the
territory mentioned, in the neces
sity of draining wet lands. It is
also proposed to show how easily
this may be accomplished by illus
trating the work done in other
parts of the country, along this
line with maps. Suggestions as

Use Scott's
Influenza.
Emulsion after
Grippe or Influenza, whichever you like
to call it, is one of the most weakening
diseases known.
Scott's Emulsion, which is Cod
Liver Oil and Hypophosphites in easily di
gested form, is the greatest strength-builder
known to medical science.
It is so easily digested that it sinks into
the system, making new blood and new fat,
and strengthening nerves and muscles.
