LITTLE ROCK
NEWS BUDGET
Items Gathered at the State
Capital By the Picayune's
Representative

Little Rock, July %. Next
Monday the state board of elec-
ton commissioners will meet and
select the election commissioners
for the different counties of the
state. This board consists of
Governor Pindall, Kirby and Lud-
wig. Pindall and Ludwig have
been consulting each other as to
what appointments they will fa-
vor; it is alleged that no matter
which way Kirby votes in the
meeting. the selections made by
them will stand, as they consti-
tute a majority. 1t is said that
they have practically agreed on
the commissioners from each
county. Governor Pindall is well
known for his fearlessness in
dealing with questions when they
arise, and he has acted this way
in regard to the selection of the
commissioners. There will be a
roar in certain sections when the
appointments are made public.

ALTMAN GONE
WITH ANOTHER
Wife Former Resi-
dent Of Prescott Takes An
other Mans Wife

Pine Bluff, July q. Pine Bluff
social and business people read
with peculiar surprise yesterday
the statement of a we'll known
business man to the public with
reference to the recent divorce
and later marriage of his wife to
former resident of Little Rock,
Prescott and other points in Ark
ansaS.
The statement is in the nature
of a warning that J. E. Altman,
former manager and solicitor for
the Pine Bluff Retail Merchants
Association had alienated the af-
fections of the wife Of F. M. Av-
erert, a we'll known merchant of
Pine Bluff, that Averett had con-
sented to a divorce from his wife
and that she had left the city for
parts unknown, presumably in
company with Altman. There
are later rumoYs of the marriage
of the couple at some point in
Southern Arkansas.
According to the story brought
out by the published card, it is
alleged that Altman met Mrs.
Averett at her husbands store
several times, and later kept up
a correspondence with him. Some
time since, it is said, she went to
her husband and informed him
that she wanted to get a divorce
as she no longer cared for him
Averett consented to the legal
separation and soon afterwards
his wife left the city.
Rumor has it that she met All
man at Buena Vista and that they
were married a few days ago.
In his statement to the public
AVerett says he has made it for
the purpose of warning people
against Altman, and also to set
the public right as to the causes
leading up to the separation of
himself and wife.
Altman made Little Rock his
headquarters for time. He
came to Little Rock from Pres
colt, where he formerly resided,
and it is said that he was run
out of that town. Soon after his
first visit to Little Rock, a woman
with a child arrived in the city
hunting him, and she went on to
Pine Bluff to join him.

Though the county scrip of Pu-

off, it is now better than it usu-
ally is. for any kind of script re-
deemable by the county, is today
worth 100 cents on the dollar.
There is over $4,000 in the coun
ty treasury, and this can be
checked on by road warrants and
teachers warrants, or any other
kind as long as it lasts. Pulaski

THE HISTORY OF BUSINESS.

Henry Clews' latest financial let
ter says:
1T must be recognized that our
business system is fluctuating one;
that progress goes in waves: that
prosperity is always followed by adj
yersity; that contraction follows ex-
pansion. and that high prices must
be succeeded by low prices. Such Is
history for ages, and such is the eco
nomic course of business affairs"
Clews is talking of mainland con-
ditions, which are confessedly unsat-
isfactory.
For the benefit of Hawaii let us
read: II must be recognized that
our business system is a fuctuating
one; that progress goes in waves;
that adversely is always followed by
prosperity; that expansion follows
contraction, and that low prices must
be succeeded by high prices.
II Hawaii, after its period Of con-
traction, is not on the verge of pro-
gressive expansion, 1t never has been
and never will be.

o'clock and will be held in executive
session.
All that could be learned in regard
to the purpose of the gathering was
that 1t was to make general canvass
Of the situation. Even those who had
been invited to attend appeared to be
absolutely in the dark as to the intent
of the meeting, and National Commit.
teeman A. G.. NJ. Robertson, who had
had the call issued, was silent as the
sphinx. However, for some time past,
especially since the statement OF Sen.
ator Hewitt calling attention to the
loss Of strength of the Republican par
ty on the other islands. several of the
leaders of the party have been anx.
ious to have the work of preparation
for the campaign started, as 1t Is sure
to be a strenuous one, and 1t is prob.
able that 1t is with this end In view,
as well as on account Of the fact that
he isigoing away soon to attend the
National Convention at Chicago, that
Robertson has had the forces called
together.
