Overstepped His Authority.

County Judge James Gould of Jeffer- son county received letter from Miss Jewel Pipkin, young lady school teacher at Noble Lake, in which she informed him that R. S. Gibbons, a negro school director of that district, had instructed her to close her white school at that place, because, he said, there were not sufficient funds in the treasury of the district to pay the warrants for operating the school. The three negro schools, however, of that district are to continue Judge Goulc promptly sent letter to the negro director in which he says Miss Pip Kin has a contract to continue hey school for nine months term under contract made by Floyd Jarvis, the white school director of the district He informs the negro that he overstep ped his authority in writing Miss Pip kin and that he was to look after the negro schools and keep his fingers out of the white school affairs in that dis trict. It is believed that the recent efforts on the part of the legislators to pass the segregation bill prompted Gibbons to issue such an order to the pretty young teacher of the Noble Lake school

Jewels Were Returned,

Recently the apartments of Capt. and Mrs. John B. King at the Balti- more hotel, Texarkana, were entered by sneak thief, who stole about $2,- 500 worth of diamonds belonging to Mrs. King. The theft was reported to Chief of Police J. J. Towery, who, with the assistants, set to work immediate ly on the case. They struck a hot clue and worked it vigorously. A woman and boy who were stopping at the hotel were both "sweated." On awakening the next morning, Mrs. King found her jewels on the floor just inside her door. They had evidently been dropped ever the transom during the night. It is believed the thief or thieves became uneasy, feeling sure the officers had them treed, and con- cluded that the easiest way out of the trouble was to restore the stolen goods.

Great Increase In Rice.

The report of the Bureau of Mines,
 Manufactures and Agriculture for the years 1905-06, which has recently been issued, shows wonderful growth in the riceraising industry in this state during the past few years. Rice grow ing is at present carried on in Lon- oke, Prairie, Arkansas, Lee and St. Francis counties, while in 1905 there were only 450 acres in the state that were devoted to the raising of this crop. The acreage last year was A. 240 and from present indications prom ises to be greatly increased this year Rice will be raised in Ashley, Jeffer- son and Poinsett counties this year as well as in the counties mentioned in the foregoing. According to the table of production given in this re- port the total amount received for the rice crop in 1905 was $11,34O and in 1906 was $111,724. This increase in the value of the rice crop was more marked than that of any other agri. cultural product raised in the state.

Will Develop Cement Fields.


 A party of capitalists have been al White Cliffs, Little River county, making thorough examination of the cement deposits. This field is said to contain inexhaustible quantities of fine cement. It was worked in form CT years and large sums were ex- pended in it's development for machin- cry, buildings, etc., but it has not been worked for the past three or four years. It is believed that as result of this visit that the works will be rehabilitated and greatly enlarged. The sum of $1,500,OO0 is to be expend- ed in this improvement, one-half to be put up by Holland capitalists and the other half by American capital ists. The company owns extensive in- terests about three miles north of Texarkana, in which are large num- Der of clay pits, the output of which is used with cement to make the latter of the proper consistency for commercial uses. The principal of fees of the company will be at Tex arkana.

Bid Peach Crop.

It is predicted that the peach crop In Sevier county this season will be the largest ever produced in that sec tion. The trees have all the fruit they can take care of, and in many or chards some of the trees will require thinning. The peaches are large and the indications point to early maturi, ty. It is predicted the crop will amount to 800 carloads. The big Or chard between De Queen and Horatio has at least 1,500 acres of trees in bearing, and the managers look for a crop of 300 carloads, while the small CT orchards in the county will doubt less produce 300 carloads more There are about 300 bushels to the car, and this estimate would give 150,000 bushels of peaches. Should this crop be properly gathered, pack ed and marketed, it should sell for at least $225,O00.
