The annual meeting last evening of

had already been president of the cham
her two years. was reeiected, Mr.. James

the nomination, and Mr.. ]. C. Freeman,

nomination.
The annual address of President Leigh

the Importance of Southern interstate

When the business of election OF Off
GERS were reached, Mr.. Leigh, having
no idea himself of serving for a third
term. retained the Chair, and announced
his readiness to receive nominations for
the position of president.
Mr.. James r. Gordon. first vice-pres.-
dent. promptly arose and said that he had
done SO for the purpose of nominating a
president for the ensuing term. He re-
marked that some surprise might be felt
by members of the Chamber who were
under the impression that there was
an unwritten, or a written law, to the
effect that president should serve for
only two years, but that he desired to
inform them that there was neither. a
number having served for more than two
terms some. indeed, for as many as five:
that. though the practice may have been,
in the recent past, on the part of the
presidents not to- serve for more than
two years, 1t might, under certain cir
scumstances, be said. as 1t had been said
of custom, that 1t was a practice more
honored in the breach, than in the OBJ
servance; and that, certainly, in the pres
ent instance. for the best interests of
the Chamber. MS well as for the city, the
wisest course would be to re-elect Mr..
Egbert G. Leigh. Jr.. as president, for

A. V. Swaty, il charge OF the gov

Arkansas, has sent out invitations TO
farmers of Columbia county to meet

meeting is for the purpose primarily
of securing the cooperation OF the

is expected that some action Will be
taken by the farmers in attendance
regarding the boil weevil investigation.
The reports of the government ex'
merits show that the weevil has not
extended as far north in Columbia
county as Waldo, but the farmers IN
that section are deeply interested IN
the Investigations now being made,
because if the weevil migrates tar-
ther north it will be in their helds
by the middle of the winter. 1t Is
probable that a committee will be Sc
lected at the meeting to ascertain
what steps can be taken, if any, winch
will tend to check the spread OF the

Is IL a New One?

Much interest has been caused by
the report that men excavaung IN the
rear Of the Rector bath house on Cen
tral avenue, Hot Springs, had dis
covered a new hot water spring, un'
earthed "a good quality of slate, and
found good indications Of coal. The
property is owned by Col. e. w. Rec
tor, who was having the excavations
made to install a new house heating
plant for the Rector bath house. 1t Is
the general opinion that the spring is
not genuine, but only from leak in
the hot-water pipes leading into the
bath house. The fact that it is just
across Central avenue from the other
hot springs leads other people to be-
lieve that after digging deeper, a gen
uine hot spring will be opened. the
temperature Of the water is 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
