PHILIPPINE VETERANS
 HOME ON FURLOUGH.

Beebe, July 14.-Wat Terrence and Tom Baber are here on a brief leave from their company of United States artillery located at present at Fort Moultrie. This is their first trip home since they went to the Philippines two and half years ago. They were transferred from the infantry to the artillery while on the islands. They were not at Manila all the time, but spent year in province 300 miles from Manila, and their stories of camp life in that faraway world are very interesting to both young and old. They say that the Philippines, how ever, ar a summer resort compared with Fort. Moultrie.

MANNING SERVES
 NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL.
Politician Proves Ali Early Quitter in Gubernatorial Fight People Want Test Between
 Wood and Davis.

Clarendon, July 14.-At II o'clock today Hon. M. J. Manning telephoned to Governor Davis at Little Rock and wired Judge Wood and Mir. Vande- yenter that he had withdrawn as a candidate for governor.
 In an interview later MT. Manning stated in answer to an inquiry as to his reasons for withdrawing that he deemed it proper because the cam paign promised to be so extensive as to render it impossible for him to give the necessary time to it. He further said that there appeared to be popu- lar demand or dsire to have Gov. Davis and Judge Wood test their strength before the people.
 "While I am not unwilling to meet them or either of them in the con- test, said Mir. Manning, CT prefer not to engage ill such an unpleasant cam paign as this must of necessity be- come. 1 am deeply grateful to my l friends in all parts of the state for their pledges of support and interest in my cause, but I prefer rather to re- main at home than give the time to the canvass at the sacrifice of my private business interests"
 Much disappointment is felt by Mir. Manning's friel ds here because of his withdrawal, though all are aware that 1 it would entail no little loss on his part, not only of his large law prac- tice, but to extensive real estate in- terests.

GOVERNORS COMMISSION
 FILE BRIEF DEMURRER.


 In the case of the State of Arkansas vs. Thomas Cox ct al. the defendants Tuesday filed demurrer before the second division of the circuit court.
 This suit was brought by Attorney General Murphy against Thomas Cox, Ham Brawley, George R. Hayuie, Hugh Corry and Charles Wilmans, who constitute the "governor's capi- tol commission,' and were appointed by him in opposition to the commis- sion named by the legislature, the latter body being now in charge of the construction of the new capitol building.
 In this suit the defendants are re- quired to be present and show to. the court by what authority they act as a capitol commission. The demurrer filed by them Tuesday is very brief. It demurs to the suit on the ground that the plaintiffs have not set out sufficient cause of action.
 The argument on the demurrer will probably not be heard until the next term of court, which begins Septem- Der 2S.

SYMPTOMS BIG SAW MILL.

MT. Bert Hart, one of the most prominent, popular and enterprising citizens of Dardanelle, Yell county, Arkansas, is visiting Swifton, his ob-A ject being to improve his large plan- tation near by. At least ten thousand dollars will change hands in very short time, and in few days one of the largest mills in the state will be in position, in charge of the veteran saw mill man, c. L. Cravens, who has the reputation of being the best mill manager in the state.
 The very finest oak, gum and cy- press timber abound in abundance on Mir. Hart's estate and a ready market is awaiting the output of this mill. Ties are being cut for the trackage necessary to handle the product of this vast property. MT. Hart is reti- cent in speaking of his future inten- tions, but we notice an unusual stir and activity around Swifton since his arrival. He has carefully selected able assistants to look after his varied Improvements.
 Every avaSable man and team is being employed and we believe that upwards of one hundred employees will be found on MT. Hart's property in less than thirty days, as advertise ments for men and teams will be found in the leading papers of New port and other cities and towns of Arkansas. Indications point to the erection of large number of tene- ment houses for the comfort of his employees, whom we think will be- come permanent tenants in the future.

CoTTON's RAPID GROWTH.
Crop Bulletin for Week Closed Shows Rather General Rains Over the State, But Moisture Still Need
 ed in Some Sections.

The temperature for the week end- ing July 13 was slightly above normal, with scattered local showers the fore part of the week and copious to heavy and fairly well distributed showers the latter part, but rain is still needed in some localities.
 Cotton is still small, but is growing rapidly; the plant is healthy and wig orous and is taking on form; some of the early planted is beginning to bloom; insects are causing very little trouble.
 Corn has made rapid progress and is now nearly all laid by; it is healthy, has good color and is beginning to silk and tassel, and some of the early planted is in the roasting ear stage. The harvesting of wheat and oats has progressed under favorable weather conditions; the yields, as rule, will be light. Potatoes are being harvest- ed and good yields of excellent quality secured. Pastures, gardens, forage crops and berries are in good condi- tion, but apples will be short crop and of inferior quality; peaches are 3 failure.

FALSE FIRE ALARM
Department Called to West End
of City at q O'Clock in
the Morning.
TO AMUsE A DRUNKEN MAN
Mike Hunter, Butter Tub Factory
EmplOye, Arrested by Chief
Hastings.

The fire department had run at
O'Clock this morning to the plant of
the Fremont Butter Tub company,
Fifth street and Third avenue, the
call having been sent in by an opera
tor at the Union Electric Telephone
company's central office at the re-
quest of a man at the office of the
butter tub company. He said the
building was in flames
The Nos. and > companies and the
truck responded to the alarm, making
a wild dash through the snow-covered
streets in an effort to reach the build
ing in time to save it from destruc
ticn. only to discover that the call
was the prank of a drunken person,
who had disappeared when the fire
men arrived.
The men at the factory got their
pay yesterday. Last night several of
the employees gathered at the office to
show the Waterman how to enjoy life
after their fashion. Considerable Joy
juice was consumed. and along to-
ward daylight the party felt the need
of excitement to make their celebra
tion the success they planned it to be.
Mike Hunter was the cut-up, and he
suggested that Il run by the fire de-
partment would be Il jolly affair. He
did not have the nerve to call the cen
trail engine house direct. instead ask
ing the operator to transmit the
alarm.
Hunter is Arrested.
Chief Charles Hastings conducted
an investigation later in the day, To-
eating Hunter at a saloon in the west
end of the city and placing him under
arrest.
This business Of joking with the
fire department must cease" said
Chief Hastings. This is not the first
time this otfense has been committed,
and the police should make an exam
pie of Hunter. The department will
ingly turns out when it has work to
do, but to make run on a winter
morning just to afford amusement for
a crowd of drunken men is passing
the limit of endurance"
