 Fitzsimmons does not make friends easily but when he starts talking he entertains with ease.

 u He recalled he time when he was in Pine Bluff eleven years ago in an effort to meet Jim Coroett at Hot Springs and it was truly amusing to hear the once great Napolean of the squared circle tell of his detention here by several deputies, acting un- der order of the then governor, Jas. fP Clarke.

WATSON IS INUNDATED
Back Waters From the Mississippi Floods Plantations and Sev- cral Towns Are Submerged
 In Desha County.

The town of Watson, in Desha county, is inundated, according to a report brought to this city yes- terday by Col. Gus Waterman, the levee expert from Dumas. The back waters from the Mississippi; river, which are higher than ever before K1own, have foo led many plantations adjacent to the river in the southeastern part of the state. and several of the sfna1'er towns. i1 that section have suffefe l.
 Col Waterman says no trouble has been reported from high waters in the immediate vicinity of Dumas and no breaks are feared at t!;is time, notwithstanding the fact that the Arkansas is also very high.
 The Memphis, Helena & Louisi- ana railroad is under water at many places and traffic has been abandoned between several towns. During the latter part of the week train on that road required two days to make one of it's trips, and the passengers are said to have had some thrilling experiences. Citizens of Watson have been completely separated from the outside world for several days. An effort will be, made today to send mail into that place from Dums by postman in charge of the rural routes.

 Insanity d Ground.
 The only other bill of importan~ introduced Saturday was one of fered by Beck of Sebastian, provid- ing that insanity shall be ground for the granting of divorce decrees. This was formerly the law in Ar kansas, but the statute on that sn'. ject was repealed some time ago.
 Hot Fight Predicted.
 The hottest fight that is in pros pect during the coming week in the legislature promises to come whe, the Amis anti-pool selling bill comes up in the senate for final ac tion Monday afternoon. The op- ponents of the measure, it is said, have prepared two amendments which will be offered if it is seen that the bill cannot be killed or adopted as amended by the agricul- tural committee to exempt regt- larly organized race tracks from the provisions of the measure. One of the proposed amendments will make the measure become effective sixty days after passage instead ot immediately after passage. This will prevent the bill from in- terrlpting thet siXty-day race meet ing that opens at Oaklawn park this afternoon. The other amend ment will provide tht Garland coun- ty shall be exempted from the pro- visions of the act. It is thought that no further attempt will Do made to fillibuster when the bi' comes up today and that final ac tion will be taken. The bill is a special order for o'clock, the = act hour at which thet first race of the meetinig at Oaklawn will be started.
 Representatives Fi2!t.

Oldham struck Owens, but before any other blows could be struck. the men were separated. They then apologiZed and shook hands. Every effort was made 10 keep the affair quiet, but the facts leaked out today.
 Committee in Deadlock.

None of the three measures that have been introduced meets the approval of the committee and it is under stood that new bill will !:e drafted, which it is expected, will combine some of the features of the measure now pending.

Atlanta, September 1.-(special9-By many people in Atlanta the announce ment made today by James L. Mayson that he would enter the race for Con gress from the Fifth district of Georgia, opposing Lon Livingston, is taken as an indication that the prohibition party has started a campaign to get control of the United States Congress. Of course, it is not possible to do this at once. but every little edge they realize, is an aid. May son is the president of the Fulton Coun- ty Anti-saloon league. and it's strongest endorsers have been the prohibition ele- ment in Atlanta. It Is understood that the prohibition party will also support Will liam Terrell in his race for the office now held by Mayson. that of city attor- ney. Two other men, it is stated, will enter race for city attorney.
