ty to operate any saloon outside of the corporate limits of municipali- ties.
 If there be no municipality within the county, the bill restricting the sale of intoXicants does not apply.
 The bill proposed by Senator Simms meets the approval of the prohibitionists to a marked degree, as it keeps the sale of intoxicants within the pale of police jurisdic- tion. Wherever a town is incorporat- ed to the extent of having a mayor and marshal. the intoXicants sold in that county must be confined ln sale to the limits of the marshals authority.

bridge building, the county judges need to meet and exchange ideas about the best and cheapest method of building roads and bridges, and I know of no organization which can do the members more good than the one proposed last night. There are 75 county judges in the state, and each and every one should be interested in this organization. With 75 counties working in harmony to secure needed legislation and 75 county judges with the same ideas about building and roads, there is no reason
 why Arkansas can not come to the front rapidly and in few years be threaded with good highways in every direction.'

CARRIERS AS
 COLLECTORS
The Graphic Inaugurates a New Plan For Handling Its Subscription
 Accounts.

Beginning with February the Daily Graphic will inaugurate a new plan in this city for the collection of it's subscription accounts that will, per- haps give more satisfaction all around.
 Beginning with tomorrow Saturday. each carrier will be made collector for his district, and will call on each subscriber on his route for the col- lection of their subscription accounts weekly or monthly as necessity may require. In this manner the Graphic can reach it's patrons more promptly
 than by the employment of one gen. ,, eral collector to cover the entire city. This plan is in vogue in a number : of cities of the size of Pine Bluff
 and larger, and gives general satis- faction. In addition to a regular stip- ;; ulated monthly salary for delivering ,, their papers, the carrier boys will : also be paid commission On their
 collections which should result in a betterx service. However, recalcitrant subscribers who are diliatory in pay ing the boys will receive call from
 collector direct from the Graphic
 office, and those who do not pay will have their paper stopped.
 Therefore, be ready to settle with the boys, please, when they call.

F. W. MAURICE
 GIVEN JUDGMENT Interesting Suit Decided In the Jefferson Chancery Court Here Yesterday by Judge Elliott.
IFS EFFECTIVE TODAY|CAME FROM DEWITT
Local Contractor Sued Dalhofi Con. struction Company and New Rail- way Company Because of Alleged Breach of Contract.

A case, which required the uninter- rupted presence of Chancellor John M. Elliott for three days, during which time volumes of contracts and sections of various law books were Tread and read again, came to an end yesterday in the Jefferson chancery court when Judge Elliott allowed a , claim of more than $4,0OO to F. w. Maurice, of this city, the defendants being the Dalhoff Construction Con- lpany and the Memphis, Helena and Louisiana Railway Company Mau- rice sued for nearly eight thousand dollars, but part of the claim was dis allowed.
 The suit was. originally brought in the Arkansas chancery court at De- Witt, but by special request Judge Elliott permitted the attorneys to sub init their evidence here and his de- cision came immediately after both sides had exhausted almost every leg al point known to the learned law yer of today. The case was fought hard and involved many fine points of law, which required no little ar gument from the attorneys for both the plaintiff and defendants. The decree of Chancellor Elliott will be entered upon the Arkansas chancery court records Monday, when Judge Elliott will go to Dewitt to hold a session of the chancery court.
 Maurice was a sub-contractor un- ! der the Dalhoff Construction Com pany in the work that was done on the Memphis, Helena and Louisiana road. He claimed that a certain sum was due him for services and material and the railroad was made a code fendant in the legal fight that result ed. Martin and Boyd, contractors, were interested in the legal proceed ing because of the fact that Maurice claimed to have furnished them with certain material in carrying out his contract.
 The Dalhoff Construction Company was represented by Attorney H. F. Auten, of Little Rock; the railway company by Bridges and Woodbridge, of this city; Maurice by R. E. Wiley, of Little Rock, and the firm of Mar tin and Boyd by Coleman and Men ard, of Dewitt

Organization Outcome of Good Roads Meeting-To Work in Harmony cd Much Good Is Expected to Re. suit From Efforts of Officials.

The County Judges Association of Arkansas was organized in Little Rock this week, at meeting of the county judges who were in that city to attend the Good Roads convention, and an official call was issued for a meeting to be held there February 28, 1907, for the purpose of completing the organization and taking action on matters pertaining to legislation The Association was organized by the elec- tion of James Gould of this county as president, and Andrew J. Rowland of Hot Spring county as secretary. Elev- en of the county judges of the state have joined the association as fol- lows: James Gould, Jefferson; w. A. Briant, Hempstead; Andrew J. Row. land, Hot Spring; J. D. Collins, Prai- rie; w. A. Falconer, Sebastian; H. E. Cook, Chicot; A. s. Gooche, Cross; c. T. Coffman, Pulaski; John B. Walker, Craighead; Jason Light, Greene.
 The organization of the. county judges is said to be one of the most important movements of it's kind in the state and follows the organiza- tion of the sheriffs and clerks. This new organization is result of the Good Roads Association meeting in Little Rock. The county judges will at their next meeting discuss and adopt such resolutions as are deem- ed by them to be needed in their work The association is already pledged to good roads and the county judges probably have more to do with this one thing than any other officer of the county.
 Speaking of the meeting Judge James Gould said:
 "This is an organization We have long needed, and I am heartily in fa- vor of it. Should the Arnold Senate bill become a law the county judge will be largely instrumental in organ izing new districts. for road working, and we need to get together and con- suit regarding the best methods of organizing these districts. This state also needs a uniformity in road and
