capitalized at $15O,0OO, divided into
shares Of 500 each, and the stock
holders are residents of Sebastian

a short stretch of territory, will open
up a valuable coal field, which had
not been developed owing to the
transportation facilities being limited.

Farmers In Session.

cational Union of America, is holding
its annual convention in Little Rock
in the hall of representatives at the
State house, President c. A. Barrett
of Atwater, Ga, presiding. Ben L..

made the address of welcome and the
response was made by Homer L. Higgs
of Greenfield, Tenn, the editor and
proprietor of the National Union

all except those who are in possession
of the password. There are about rs
delegates in attendance, the represen-

Big Loss In Cotton.

According to a summary compiled
by Commissioner Tucker from the
county crop reports that were recent
ly published there will be a big loss
in the cotton crop for 1907 over last
year. The decrease will amount to
nearly 80 per cent, the figures for
the present year being 70.1 per cent
of 1906 Arkansas last year pro-
duced GAL 900 bales, estimated. The
approximate output this year will be
$50 ,641 bales. To make the latter total
conditions from now until the staple
is picked must be normal, the weather
must be favorable for good develop
ment, and no further insect damage or
the early visitation of heavy frost.
A cold spring, a reduction of the
acreage and other evils, such as boil
weevil and heavy rains, are respon-
sible for the poor showing of the
Arkansas crop. Other states have
nearly all suffered the same troubles,
and the cotton crop as a whole in the
Southern States will be materially
less than last year.

The State of Arkansas won its suits
In the Pulaski Circuit Court against
the ST Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern Railway Company, and
obtained a judgment for $4,000. The
cases were brought by Lewis Rhoton,
as prosecuting attorney, it being
charged the company violated the law
by furnishing senators and representa-
tives in the legislature of 1905 with
free transportation. The Company
filed demurers to the complaints and
attacked the Gonstitutionality of the
act. that makes it unlawful for railroad
companies to furnish free transporta-
ton to officers. The cases were argued
before Judge E. w. Winfield. The
State was represented by Prosecuting
Attorney Rhoton and the railroad
company by T. M. Mehaffy, general
counsel. After the argument the court
overruled the demWers and gave
Judgment in each of the five cases for
the maximum penalty of $4,000. The
money goes into the general fund OF
Pulaski county. Before judgment was
announced the defendant elected to
stand on the demurrer. The Arkansas
constitution of 1874 provides that the
legislature shall prohibit railroad COM
panies fro mfurnishing free transpor-
tation to any legislative or judicial
officer of the State. In 1887 the leg
islature passed an act making II
unlawful for railroad company to fur
nish free transportation to any such
officer and fixed a maximum penalty
of $4,000. The same legislature also
made it a misdemeanor for any such
officer TO accept or use free railroad
transportation and fixed the penalty
at a fine and removal from office.

Church Service BY Phone.

Rev. NJ. H. Ingham, rector of St.
Johns Episcopal church of Camden,
has had special telephone service
installed in his church, in order that
persons who are unable to come may
hear the services. 1t was primarily
designed TO meet the wants of an
afflicted member, who could not
attend at all, but it is working so wei
that many who are kept from being at
the church now hear the services over
the telephone. All that is necessary
to get the telephone service is to notify
the rector about an hour before the
time for preaching.

Women Establish Library.

By making AID selling cakes and
pies, sewing, selling cigars, and even
by carrying notes from young men to
the popular young ladies of their
town, the public-spirited women of
Dumas, all members of the Dumas
Library Club, have raised more than
$1,000 for the establishment of pub
lie library in this enterprising little
town. These women have even gone so
far as to plant, plow and pick cotton
on an acre of ground which one of
the interested citizens donated to the
club. They hope to make bale OF
cotton on this acre of ground, and as
it will most likely be ginned without
cost to them, they will realize a sub
stantial sum to add to their fast-grow-
ing fund

Oppose Social Equality.

county states that timber buyer
named C. H. Weis was given a severe
whipping and forced to leave the town
between suns. 1t is said that Weis
boosted that he was no better than a
negro, and went so far as to attend
a negro church and kneel at the
mourner's bench during a religious
meeting. 1t is alleged that the white

Weis that his conduct was not pleas

practice of social equality, becoming
SO bold in his actions that the citi-
zens took drastic measures in order
to show him the error of his ways.

Auditor Moore has settled the mat
ter of the position he would take in
regard to the expenditure of the COM

has made no statement, preferring to

State Capital Notes
Penitentiary Board In Session.

Following the agitation of the bad
use in the penitentiary, the board.
which is now in session, has ordered
all bad flour to be destroyed, and
new supply purchased. After the
-four question had been disposed of
the board took up the matter OF the
education of the inmates of the reform
school. By the statute, passed at the
last session of the legislature creating
the reform school, it was provided that
the boys and girls confined should
receive three months education each
year. 1t was the belief Of some of
the board members that the school
should be established Immediately
and Secretary of State Ludwig
answered the objections of the oppo-
nents of the plan who contended it
is alleged, that for the balance of the
year the inmates would be required to
work and go to school later. The dis
cussion was long on this proposition,
but finally was settled by the unanl-
nous vote of the members in the
appointment of L. Perry as special
instructor of the school at salary
of $50 per month. Mr.. Perry's name
was placed before the board because
of his qualifications for the post, hav-
ing been employed in the reform
school at Nashville, Tenn. The appoint
ment was made at the suggestion of
Superintendent Chestnut. DR.. R. l..
Russell, present penitentiary pbysi-
clan, was appointed physician Of the
reform school and will receive SIS per
month as salary for the additional
duties. The board passed upon the
awarding of the contracts for supplies
for the month of September and
adjourned to meet in special session
September II, when the retention to
his position of the superintendent OF
cooks, the lighting of the reform
school with electricity and the con-
sideration of the parole of several
prisoners will be acted upon.
