CANNINGFACTORY MEETING Despite of The Bad Weather a Coodly Number of Our Citi> zens Met And Discussed the
 Needed Enterpr;se.


 Pursuant to a call quite a crowd of our farmers and business men assembled at Echin Hall Satur- day to investigate the cost of establishing a canning factory at Carlisle and to see how many of our farmers would agree to patronize an enterprise of this kind should it be established.
 J. w. Colvert was elected Chairman of the meeting and G. E. Ellis Secretary and the following comittees were appoint ed:
 To investigate cost of factory: l.. B. Krshka, R. A. Perkins and G. E. Ellis.
 To solicit our farmers and see how many would patronize the factory; F. M. Courtney, T. O.. Barrett, J. w. Puryear, l.. C.. Bennett and F. F. Erdman.
 1t has not been our pleasure to attend a more enthusiastic meet ing in Carlisle as each one present seemed deeply interested in the establishment of the enter prise. A number of good talks were made and each one presnt pledged themselves to do all in their power to encourage the move. The meeting adjourned to meet again on Saturday March 9th, when a report will be re ceived from the different com. mittees and permanent steps taken towards the establishment of canning factory in Carlisle. nsLet us all work together tc encourage the establishment oI this needed enterprise and we will have 1t.

, 2OOO Gallons Per Minute

Last Wednesday, the famous rice well of c. H. Chapman southeast of town was tested by J. W. Pagan, of Stuttgart, Duff Green, of Lonoke and some ex- pert well men from rice belt of Louisiana. It was given a thorough test and pumped on an average of 2000 gallons per minute. Figuring 6 gallons per acre each minute, this well would water over 300 acres of rice. There is no doubt this is the best well in the state and men who know do not hesitate saying that it is as good well as can be found in the South. MT. Pagan owns a well near Stuttgart which affords about 800 gallons per minute and which has been given up to be the best well in the Arkansas Rice Belt.

 James I. Ellis, of Little Rock. state business agent of the Far mers Union, spoke to quite a number of our farmers at Echlin Hall last Thursday. His remarks were of a high class nature and we are sorry that more of our farmers were not present.
 More and more we are regard ing farming in this country as a first-class business, giving men, tai outlet to the best men. It is stated that in Great Britain at the present time man without ex- perience- and lacking capital pro portioned to the acres, finds diff culty in securing a farm, as own e IFS will not rent or lease unless they are assured that the person is competent to handle the prop rty.

Negro Killed By Train

7
 West bound train No 1 which is due here at 12:22, struck a negro about two miles east of town last Tuesday and he received in jouries from which he died at 5 o'clock that evening. His name was supposed to have been J. Mack, as this name was written on the inside of the waistband of his trousers. There was noth- ing else on his person by which he could be identified.
 The Negro seemed to have been asleep near a cattle guard and as the approaching train gave the warning whistle it seemed that, in a frightened con- dition he rose to his feet but made no attempt to get off the track and the train struck him with the above results.

Country Will Be involved.
OFFICIALS HAVE NO WORD
LOCAL MANAGERS KNOW ONLY
WHAT RUMOR SAYS.

A rumor is abroad that the telegraph
operators IN both the Western Union and
Postal telegraph offices in this
city will go on strike on the
first OF June. 1t is stated that the men
have all sorts of grievances, and the re-
ports add a deal of information which
a telegraph operator doubtless is glad
10 know, for il was certainly news TO
him, as 1t was to the reading public.
There may be a strike of operators on
June 1; il apparently depends upon the
degree of acuteness reached by the stu
alton in New York. In that city nine
Western Union operators were discharged.
President ClOwry of the company says
they were dismissed for cause; Sam j.
Small, president of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' Union of America, says they
were discharged because they were mem =
bers of the union. he operators, too,
want the sliding scale abolished and the
system of split tricks done away with.

lar men is figured on a basis of seven

as extra time. The Postal at least in

ditions.'
