ALBRIGHT MADE THREATS.
The testimony of one witness
before the inquest jury Satur
day, which was strongly favor
able to the defendant was not
published by the Independent
because the witness was placed
on the stand after our reporter
had left the court room.
This witness wTas Lee Quinn,
who testified that he had come
to the bottling plant with Al
bright, because the latter’s fa
ther-in-law, Mr. Davis had re
quested him to get Albright and
take him home.
Witness heard Albright make
threats against Carouthers, said
he was going “to get even some
way with Carouthers even if he
had to take a gun.” Albright
had also shown him the car
tridges he had purchased, but
witness did not see him buy
them. They were 32’s. None of
these threats had been communi
cated to Carouthers said the
witness, because he had not
seen the officer until he passed
th'e bottling plant.
Witness said he went into the
bottling plant as the two officers
passed, but ran out when the
shotting occurred.
Sheriff MeCuistion was recall
ed at this point and testified that
while he didn’t find any shells
upon Albright’s person, he was

ANOTHER WEEK
WAS FAVORABLE
Hut Moisture Is Reported Need
ed In Many States to Stim
ulate Growth.
Another favorable week has
carried cotton somewhat further
along toward maturity. Tem
peratures have been high stim
ulating rapid growth where the
supply of moisture was suffi
cient and aiding greatly every
where in putting the plant into
a more thrifty condition.
There is some need for rain in i
Alabama. Mississippi, Tennes-'
see, Arkansas, Louisiana and at 1
points in Georgia and in Texas,
although in the latter two states i
the need is generally slight. As
yet no deterioration is reported
from lack of moisture anywhere,
but in the states named, plant j
growth is deficient and since the t
soil is dry rain would greatly |
stimulate growth.
Cultivation remains most ex
cellent and it appears that rain
alone is needed to boost the crop
very rapidly. In the Carolinas

some of the cotton is still un

of it being small.
Blooms are not yet numerous !
except in the more southern j
parts of the belt and in northern ,
districts are not expected be- 1

Postals Savings. “Moneys l oan
ed.”
Special to Independent.
Little Roc-:. June 28.—-Attor
ney General W. L. Moo-e Friday
afternoon informed the Postal
Saving.- Department of the Unit
ed States government, that the
postal- saving- deposited with
Arkansas bank-, are to be con
sidered1 with a j other moneys
loaned to the bank under the
head of “moneys loaned” in the
recently enacted Arkansas bank
ing law.
This decision, rendered at the
request of the government, gives
the individual the same protec
tion and rights of the govern
ment. The government will not
permit, a bank to handle the
postal savings unless the Attor
ney General, Postmaster Gener
al and Commissioner of Agricul
ture have approved of their ap
plication. The state law pro
hibits bank officials from hy
pothecating or selling any
bonds or securities without the
board of directors first passing
upon it.
1 he state banks which handle
the “postal savings” funds, file
with the government securities
and pay Interest on the amounts
deposited. They are allowed par
on government bonds, 90 per
cent on state and city bonds, and
75 per cent on other bonds, but
under the ruling of the Attorney
General, the banks will not be
permitted to give the govern
ment preference in the placing
of their bends.
Jailed For Family Row.
Two men from near White
River bridge reported to the city
officers Sunday night that a man
living upon a houseboat near the
bridge had assaulted his wife
and left her unconscious upon
the bank.
Deputy Constable Ivy and
Deputy Sheriff Grover Gardner
went to the scene and arrested a
pearler named Stark, who had
been mixed up in a family row.
The facts however were not as
stated by the men reporting to
the officers and while Stark was
put in jail, the officers say that
no serious charge will probably
be preferred against the man.

Republicans Allowed Wide
Range.
I
Black Rock, June ' 29.—The j
Lawrence county Republicans j
took the halter off their dele- j
gates after naming them today |
and they will be allowed to vote
as they please in the convention
at Little Rock on July 1. This j
means that if a Republican fa
vors Col. George W. Murphy,
Bull Moose candidate for gov
ernor, it’s up to him to vote for
him if he pleases. The delegates
are F. W. Tucker. G. W. Wells,
J. L. McKamey and T. J. Sha
rum.
The following resolution was
adopted:
“That the Republican state
convention, in our opinion,
should not nominate a candidate
for governor, but that each one,
in the coming election, be- leit
free to vote according to his in
dividual choice for the candidate
whose election, in his judgment,
will best contribute to the wel
fare of the state.”

To Enforce Blue Sky Law.
Special to Independent.
Little Lock, June 28.— Now
that the Blue Sky investment
and insurance law has been de
clared valid by the Pulaski
Chancery.Court, Col. J. J. Beav
ers, the clerk in charge of this
department of the State Audit
or’s office, has decided to start
out with renewed vigor to round
up all corporations of this sort
in Arkansas and force them to
take out a license.
Under this law all companies
with stocks or investments to
sell must file a statement show
ing their business with the state
auditor, and get a permit to
sell stock. Many companies of
Arkansas have filed a partial
statement, but have not secured
the permits. Because there was
an attack made upon the law,
there was a bit of laxity about
its enforcement, but now that
the law has beeen declared va
lid, Col. Beavers declares he will
prosecute every company sell
ing stock without first having
secured a permit from his office.
