NEGRO MURDERS WHITE
MAN AT CARUTHERSVILLE
There was one of the most brutal
murders committed at Caruthersville
last Sunday when a negro known as
Nath Heed, shot and killed and then
attempted to hack to pieces with a
razor, Barney Fox, ago 20, son of H
Fox, proprietor of a grocery store at
Caruthersville, in one ot tho negro
dives across the Frisco tracks, close
to the river.
It is not known just how the af
fair started ,as tho only information
that can be secured from witnesses
is from the negroes. It was known1
that Fox had a considerable amount
of money upon him that morning,
and it is probable that the negroes
were aware of tho fact, and simply
robbed him. Tho negro claimed that
Fox owed him ?4 and that during
the argument in the restaurant and
pool room conducted by Tom Reed,
which is known as the gambling
joint, Fox was shot by one of tho
negroes who attempted to cut him
up.
Fox died before ho could bo remov
ed from tho scene, and his body was
removed to tho LaForge undertaking
parlors, pending arrival of relatives.
Fox was a veteran of the World
War, and has been employed on tho
rivor, Tho coroner's jury bound
over tho two negroes for a prelimi
nary hearing before Squiro Kling
ingsmith, and they were bound over
by the Justice to tho next term of tho
Circuit Court.
HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922
Comrade Dobs is out of jail, pardon
ed, but Comrade Bill Smith many
Comrado Bill Smiths who went to
Franco to defend Ameica and hor
honor, is still in Jail somewhere or
other for an infraction of an army
rule. Comrado Dobs advised Amer
ican disgraco; advised soldiers to be
Benedict Arnolds, but ho is free.
Comrado Bill Smith offered his life
to his country and took the supreme
risk of humanity, but he still is In
prison. This may not bo very "homey
niosophy" but it certainly is houioy
indignation. Wo wonder how long
this discrimination against patriotic
heroes and in favor of traitors will
last?

Agent O. N. Watts informs us, that
effective January 1st, there was a
reduction In the freight rates on all
grain and grain products, and other
farm products over tho Frisco sys
tem, of ton per cent.
Tho telegram to him was as fol
lows: "Effective Jan. 1st, this company
will reduce its rates from any point
to any point, ten per cent on tho fol
lowing: grain, hay and all grain
products, live stock, fruits, dried and
evaporated, vegetables, fresh or
green, cotton, cotton linters, cotton
seed, butter, eggs and poultry, live or
dressed. Tarriffs giving full and com
plete list of reductions will go for
ward tomorrow.' '
This reduction is voluntary on the
part of the company, made in the
hope it will stimulate movement of
grain and grain products and be of
material assistance in bringing our
agricultural territory greater prollt
in tho sale of these products. This
reduction, added to the cancella
of the three per cent war tax on all
freight shipments and eight per cent
on all passenger tickets, accomplish
es a very substantial reduction in
rates with the beginning of the New
Year.
This telegram was received from
Supt. Hilton, through F. C. Faulk
ner, divisional superintendent, at
Chaffee, and effects all points on this
division of the Frisco.
The general public will surely ap
preciate news of this kind, and while
there are a great many commodities,
that have not been included in the
list, we feel sure, that there will be
further reductions along this line,
as nothing has stagnated business
any more in this section than the ex
cessive freight rates. The rail
roads have not been all to blame in
this instance, although they have
received tho most of the blame, but
the war tax which has been placed
upon all ticket and freight shipments
b'as been a heavy burden, which
everyone had to bear. At this time
of the year when everyone is taking
stock and planning their program for
the year now spread out before us.
this news will be greatly appreciated
and as suggested in the telegram,
should have the effect of stimulating
better business.
Boost your best for Hayti.

BUREAU NEWS
By County Agent
LOWDEN BACKS IIP
FARMERS CO-OPERATION
On December 18th, Ex-Gov. Frank
O. Lowden of Illinois signed a con
tract to market all the cotton grown
on the 112,000 acres which ho owns
in Arlcanses through tho Arkansas
Farm Bureau Cotton Growers' Co
operative Association. Mr. Lovvden
also instructed his plantation mana
ger, J. A. Coodwln, to join the Ark
ansas Farm Bureau Federation. In
signing the contract, Mr. Lowden
said :
"It is the only salvation for the
producer. Every other line of In
dustry has its organization and the
farmer cannot hope to succeed with
out an organization. As condition
are now, the farmer has absolutely
no voice in deciding what price he
shall receive for his product.
"There can be no revival In busi
ness generally until the farmers of
this country receive prices more In
line with what they have to pay. The
basis is all wrong and until the bus
iness Interests recognize the fact and
do something to bring about a change
there can be no real prosperity In
this country. Tho farmers of the
south are fast realizing that only
through co-operative marketing ot
their cotton will the time come when
the agricultural interests of the
south are no longer at the mercy of
the business world. A wonderful
start has been made."
When Ex-Governor Lawden sign
ed the Arkansas cotton contract he
pledged himself for a five-year per
iod to market through the associa
tion all the cotton grown on his 32,
OOOacre Lincoln county plantation
and on his 10,000-acre Mississippi
county plantation. After Mr. Low
den arrived in Arkansas, he spent
nearly a week studying tho details
of the contract before he placed his
name to it. After his thorough, Mr.
Lawden was emphatic In his state
ment that every cotton farmer in
Arkansas should sign it.
Ex-Governor Lowdenpis a mem
ber of a co-operative dairying asso
ciation in Illinois and declares that
its operation has been very success
ful. He has been deeply impressed
by witnessing the operation of co
operative associations both in Calif
ornia and in Denmark.
Speaking of the Farm Bureau, Ex
Governor Lowden declared it to be
the best farmers' organization ever
attempted in the United States and
said he hoped that every farmer
would back it to the limit of hi3
ability. He is a member of the Oglo
County Farm Bureau? tho Illinois
Agricultural Association, and the
American Farm Bureau Association.

COTTON MARETING MEETING
J
Hayti,
Missouri
The Pemiscot County Farm Bureau
hold a cotton mooting at the Cham
ber of Commerce rooms ast Friday at
which timo Mr. Coleman, who has
been interested in the organization
in Arkansas, addressed tho farmers.
The leading cotton grovers of tho
county were -present at this meeting
and without excoption heartily ap
proved of the movement.
Tho south has been organized by
the farm bureaus of tho several
states and tho farmers have signed
up all of this product that they
grow within the next flvo years to
bo pooled and sold through a board of
directors. The pool will probably
havo about throe million bales ot cot
ton to sell this year and of courso it
will grow as tho fellows who aro not
in it seo that tho farmers in tho pool
aro getting more for their cotton. It
is natural to expet more for cotton
when it can bo sold in largo quanti
ties direct to tho mills and export
trado.
Our Farm Bureau is planning to
put on a campaign in this county to
sign up its mombors in this organiza
tion that has ever boon started, and
will possibly do the cotton growers
moro good than anything elso. The
farmers should give this considera
tion and look into tho details of it.
Any farm bureau official will bo glad
to givo pou tho information that you
desire.
