?ood, and he will take a much
needed vacation for reeuperation.

PREFERRED DEATH
RATHER THAN WORK.j
1 _~ ]
\ Hot Springs, April 21.—Pre-j
furring death to a job on the city i
rock pile Frank Heinold of Roch- j
1 ester, N. Y., this morning ended j
his life in the city jail by sever
ing his jugular vein with a pock

MATCH FACTORY
FOR CLARKSVILLE.
Little Rock, Apirl 21.—Infor
mation reaches Little Rock that
northern capitalists are figuring
on the establishment of a match
i factory at Clarksville, which will
be the first west of Indiana.
The capital stock is $75,000 of
which $50,000 has heen sub
scribed, and $25,000 is home
capital. It is said to be a cer
tainty.
IT’S UP TO THE NEGRO.
Discussing the peonage cases
the Monticello Advance very sen
sibly remarks:
“It is to be hoped that negroes
: will not be encouraged by these
| suits to abandon their crops upon
| slight provocations and leave
I their employers to bear heavy
losses. This would lead to se
rious trouble between the races
and eventually work a hardship
on the negro. If there is no way
of forcing the negro to comply
with his contracts it will be only
the more reliable ones that will
get an opportunity to make
them.”
It is as the Advanc jays. It
is up to the negro. i is now
placed where he mus e honest
and upright in his contracts with
the planter. He can, not be
forced to nter’s
employ ur nfully
executed ' ;h the
planter. He may get into the
planter’s debt and jump his con
tract and the planter must sub
mit gracefully to the loss because
the contract-jumping negro never
has any property subject to at
tachment for debt.
The only hope for the planter
is to deal with the negro who
will faithfully perform any con
tract he may make. There can
be no doubt but what the plant
ers will protect themselves, and
the best way to do it is to pass
along the names of contract
jumping tenants and ■ for no
planter to give employment to a
tenant who has jumped a con
tract.—Pine Bluff Graphic.
