SLAUGHTERING DOGS
 IN FORT SMITH

The city authorities are contin- nlng the slaughter of dogs found running at large on the streets of the city. The average is about twen ty a day, but frequently a wagon load of dead canines is hauled away at night, says the Fort Smith News1 Record.
 The mad dog scare and the slaughter of dogs has given rise to much discussion and rumor has become current that Chief of Police Surratt has made the state ment that he was in doubt of his authority to kill dogs on which the tax had been paid That the chief mas the authority is amply proven lf anyone will examine the ordi nance. Immediately after little Jen- nie Carnahan had been bitten May or Bourland issued a proclamation under authority of section 662 of Read and McDonough's digest and it is this proclamation under which the police are proceeding. The section as follows:
 Section 662. Whenever the pre- valence of hydrophobia shall, in any opinion of the mayor, make it necessary for the public safety it shall be his duty to issue his pro- clamation notifying owners of dogs to keep them on their premises, and any dog found at large on any street, alley or public place at the expiration of two days after the is- sue of such proclamation, shall be killed, unless he is muzzled and the owner of. such dog failing to com ply with the provisions of this sec tion shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction be fore the police court shall be fined in any sum not less than five nor more than twenty-five dollars

BEN NOT EVEN
 A TEDDY BEAR
But Fellow Insisted That Ben Rob. insOn Was President. Roosevelt
 Just the Same.

While it is not at all uncommon for one person to be mistaken for another it is certainly a very rare thing for a private citizen of our city to be mistaken for President Theo- dore Roosevelt, yet it was only last Friday that one of our we'll known fellOw-citiZen experienced this not unpleasant sensation. While Ben Robinson was standing in front of Robinson Brothers Plumbing house Friday afternoon, looking "the whole world in the face," a juve- nile stranger came up and in all seriousness held out his hand re- marking that he had not expected to find the worthy president of the United States in so secluded town at this time. With difficulty MT. Robinson assured hm that he was only a private citizen, and not only was he not the well-known bear hunter ana rough rlder PreSluenC but that he was not even related t6 him in any way. The stranger at first thought that MT. Robinson was attempting to conceal his iden- 1tity, and insisted that he knew the president, until crowd of men and boys had gathered and begun to laugh, seeing, the mistake. When the stranger saw in what ridicu- lous position he had placed himself he turned on his heel and walked away notwithstanding the fact that Mir. Robinson called to him and asked him that since they had shak- en hands they become acquainted.

The Jefferson circuit court has recently demonstrated what can be done towards preventing lynching. A short time ago a black brute at Pin4 Bluff attempted criminal assault up on white lady of that city. He was promptly arrested when the circuit judge of that distirct promptly called special term of court to try the negro and just four days from the time that he committed the offense he was in the penitentiary begin ming a sentence of 21 years. This prompt action upon the part of the officials doubtless prevented lynch ing. Every county in Arkansas would do we'll to follow this pQece- dent.-Oaachita HeRaM.

PINDALL FOR
 GOOD HIGHWAYS
Advocates Adoption of Amendment No, 10 to the COnstitutiOn-Chief Executive Takes Occasion to Compliment Jefferson
 County.

Gov. X. O. Pindall returned from Pine Bluff on the morning train, well pleased with the evidence of interest in the good roads movement in Jeffer- son county, says Saturdays Little Rock Democrat Governor Pindall de llvered strong address in the inter- est Of good roads before the Boosters Club last night in the Bluff City, and called especial attention to the importance of making a close and en- ergetic campaign for the adoption of Amendment No. 10 at the next general election. This amendment will give to cities and counties the right to is sue interest-bearing evidences of in- debtedness for the purpose of building roads, streets and making other req, Improvements.
 Seen at the executive office this morning, Governor Pindall said the people of Pine Bluff are enrnusias- tic over the prospect of adopting the amendment and they are thor oughly awake to the necessity of of better highways. "I shall give as much time as possible to the matter of good roads. I am glad to be identified with the good roads movement in this State, and shall lose no opportunity to advance the fact of the necessity or adopting Amend ment No 10. Our highways mean much to the commonwealth in more ways than one. The commercial life of any state is dependent to marked degree upon it's roads. Rail- roads are necessity, to move the volumn of business between States, and between sections of the same State, the country road should be improved to the point that the pre- duser, the man who feeds the world may carry his product to market with all possible ease and with the smallest amount of wear and tea" upon live stock and upon the pro- duct sought to be disposed of
