JURY SCORES OFFICIALS.
Grand Jury That Handed in Anything
But the Usual Stereotyped Re
port in Garland County.
Hot Springs Oct. 22.— What is
, said to be the roost comprehen
sive and scathing report ever
submitted bs a Garland county
grand jury was made by the
grand jury which finished its
work late Friday afternoon.
The management of the poor
farm under W. F. Lewis was se
verely denounced, the commit
tee, which visited the poor farm
unexpectedly, reporting that they
found the building and bedding
in an inexcusably and repul
sively filthy condition, and that
the food was poor and insuf
ficient, and commented on the
fact that such should not be the
case when the poor master is re
ceiving a salary of $100 per
month, and when over $16 is
allowed for the sustenance of
each inmate.
The grand jury recommended
that measures which could only
be characterized as heroic should
be employed in alleviating the
conditions.
Former '.Road Commissioner
Hughes was also reproached with
the fact that altnough $67,000
has been spent on the roads in
the past four years, they are not
in a condition fo warrant any such
expenditure.
Judge Duffie in commenting to
the jury on their report com
plimented them for making it so
scathing, and remarked that he
believed that much good would
come out of it.
‘‘I believe this scathing report
on the poor house and roads is a
great? reflection upon the admin
istration of affairs in this coun
try,” said Judge Duffie to the
jury.

everyone to investigate the dif

of honest doubters, or those who
may be unacquainted with our
work, the standing offer: To

IMPORT ITALIAN LABOR.
_ «? !
Planters Are Investigating Experiments
in Chicot County, Ark, and
May Adopt Them.
Pine Bluff, Oct. 20—Jefferson
county planters are seriously
considering the matter of replac
ing negro labor with Italians,
and they have been investigat
ing conditions at Sunnyside
plantation, Chicot county, where
a large colony of Italians is lo
cated.
In a letter written to Sheriff
Gould by I. S. Wright, of the
Sunnyside company, the letter
says regarding the Italian labor
ers:
“I consider them first-class,
and far superior to the negro.
We rent them the land; they do
the rest. You would have to get
them through some Italian labor
agent. There is one here who
has gotten a great many for us,
who would be glad to assist you
should you decide to put in a
few families.”

HAVE YOl THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED
THE SUPERIORITY OF OUR ALFRED BEN’
JAM IN & CO. HIGHL\ TAILORED GARMENTS
T'HE tendency of many
* men is to belittle
ready-for-service gar
ments; this because
such men have not in
vestigated our superior
clothes. No matter
how forcibly we may
endeavor to place their
merits before you thru
newspaper column a,
words fail to adequate
ly exDress the value
and the advantages to
be gained.
You will not enjoy the
full appreciation of
their perfect fit and
superior qualities until
the garments are placed
on you and a thorough
test given.
The savings, compared
with the highest class
custom work is from
(COPYRIGHTED.) one-third to one-half
— not the ordinary
ready-for-servjce clothes; indeed, they are the products
of the highest-priced draughtsmen known in the busi
ness.
It is by genius and a thorough knowledge of designing
that they .acquire such perfect drape and faultless fit.

We invite comparison; we urge investigation.
