12 Year Old White Bey
Kills Negro at Weldon
Arthur Farmer, a white boy only
| 12 years of age shot and killed Percy
l Slaughter, a negro at a sawmill at
Weldon last Monday.
According to the evidence at the
inquest, held by Coroner Nolen at
Weldon, young farmer shot Slaughter
in the back of the head writh a No. 12
shotgun, only one charge being used.
Both the white boy and the negro
worked at a sawmil at Weldon. The
boy states he had trouble with the
black, who during an encdflnter struck
him with a shovel, threatening his
life.
Fearing that the negro would at
tempt to kill him, the boy says he
went to his boarding house secured a
shotgun and shot Slaughter as the
negro stood in the sawdust room. It
is said that the negro had repeatedly
intimidated the boy in a bullying
manner.
The boy’s father is dead, his moth
er, brothers and sisters reside at Al

Billie Sunday’s Opinion
of the Southern People
Billie Sunday, the great evangelist,
told his congregation in Boston re
cently’ that the truest, the purest and
the finest men and women in Ameri
ca are below the Mason and Dixon
line. This is the verbatim state
ment of Billy Sunday in the Boston
Tabernacle.
“Sixty eight per cent of the men of
the South are in the church. Why ?
’You may not like it, but the •truesi'
Ithe purest and finest men and women
'in America are south of the Mason
land Dixon line. That’s the reason it
took thirty millions to lick six mil
lions. There are more pure-blooded
Americans south of the Mason
Dixon line than anywhere else in
this country. That’s why so many
of them are Christians. I say that
even if my old daddy was one of 4 he
boys in blue and fought against them.
They were hard to lick because they
were real Americans. South of the
Mason and Dixon line they have got
the North licked to a frazzle in re
ligion and morals.

Farmers Help to Make
Arkansas Free of Ticks
On July 2 a systematic dipping of
cattle was begun in 22 counties and
it is expected that they will be re
leased from quarantine by January 1.
At that time, the remaining coun
ties should be ready for the final
work necessary to make Arkansas
tick free by December 1, 1918. This
,is a tremendous task, but with the co
operation of the farmers it can be
done in the opinon of E. A. Wight
'hief Federal Inspector, who, with Dr.
R. M. Gow, State veterinarian with
the University of Arkansas has
charge of the work in this state. Ev
ery farmer in the tick territory
"should dip faithfully and consider his
'part in the work a real investment
since it will undoubtedly give quick
and direct returns in the form of
improved productivity of his cattle
which, based on the experience of
eleven other southern states that have
done systematic work, can be con
servatively estimated at $5 a head
for the first year the territory is tick
free. In these same states native ent
itle once free from ticks have ev
entually increased 19.14 per cent of
one-fifth of their original weight
while the average milk produced from
the native dairy cattle in these states
has been 23 per cent or one-fourth
more. The cattle of both beef and
dairy types have increased 26.9 per
cent in value since the eradication of
the tick. Arkansas farmers can ex
pect similar results.
Now is the time to lay a firm
foundation for building up a more
profitable cattle raising industry
in Arkansas.
ARKANSAS IS LAST IN
NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES
There is one automobile for every
29 inhabitants in the United States,
according to figures last year, made
public by the Federal public roads
bureau at Washington a few days ag0
Iowa with one car for every 11 per.
sons led the country in the number of
machines registered in proportion to
population. California, Nebraska, and
South Dakota ranked next in order.
Arkansas, with one automobile for
every 116, is at the foot of the list.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO HAVE FOR DINNER
You don’t need to worry about that
question next winter if your shelve.-,
are full of home canned products.
Y'ou can brag about your garden all
winter if you have your canned evi
dence on the table. Remember that
ihere is really nothing to canning
fruit and vegetables except, care,
'cleanliness,, fresh products and heat,
but take care and concentrate pro
ducts, especially soup mixtures, so
\that each container will hold as muci
canned fruit and as little water as
possible. Home canning is kitchen

CUT RAG MEEDS TO
PREVENT HAY FEVER
Dr. C. W. Garrison,, state health
officer, has issued a notice urging as a
preventive against hay fever that all
rag weeds be cut immediately.
Eighty-five per cent of the cases of
hay fever in Arkansas, Dr. Garrison
says, are caused from the pollen <
the rag weed, and this is the time of
year when the weed is pollinating. If
cut at once many will escape a re
currence of the attack of the annoying
ailment.

Studebaker
ESTABLISHED 1852
To match in SEATING CAPACITY the Stude
baker Four at $985, you must pay on the
average $1802. To match the Studebaker
Six at $1250 in capacity costs on the av.
erage $2254.
HERE is another remarkable point of Studebak
er VALUE proved by the industry’s own fig
ures. The few other ears that equal Studebax
ers in this respect cost many hundreds of dollan
more. Studebaker s are the strongest, lighest cars
of their capacity on the market. Less skillful
manufacturer may approach Studebaker in light
ness-but they attain it only by sacrificing strength.
Remember, seating capacity is only one point of
Studebaker VALUE—let us show you some oth
ers. For it is the sum of these VALUE POINTS
added together that makes Studebaker the best
automobile “buy” of 1917.
Studebaker Value May Only be Judged
By Comparing Studebakers With Cart
Costing Many Hundreds of Dollars More
