King will deliver lectures throughout
the state of Maryland under the au.
spices of John Hopkins university and

Thus in a very brief time Mr.. King
has risen from obscurity to national
renown through making careful and
practical study of good road building.
He had no idea that his work would
develop to the proportions 1t has when
he first made that old "log drag" out
OF a pump stock and post at his
farm home in Missouri, but he was
in earnest and believing he was work
ing In the interest Of horseflesh, hu
manity and the saving of money for
the farmers he worked and talked him

WHEN \ JEST WAS RESENTED.

Even our friends should by this
time realize that the Loyal
Arkansan is jealous of his states
good name, and will not willingly
see 1t made the butt of ridicule or
jest, even good-natured.
In fact, we are very thin-skinned
when it comes to talking about
Arkansas, for the state has been for
so long maligned and misrepresent-
ed without rhyme or reason that 10y
atty demands answering devotion
to the perpetuation of its goo1
name
There was a little incident in Con-
gress the other day that illustrated
this.
It is told by the Daily Oklahoman
in these words:
when Congressman Fulton OF Ok
lahoma arose to address the House
the other day, he was introduced by
the chair as the gentleman from
Arkansas, and jocularly replied
that i" he had been accused of many
things. but never before OF coming
from Arkansas"
This provoked a somewhat
acrimonious retort from Mr.. Robin
son of Arkansas, whose labors in be-
half of statehood are gratefully re-
membered by all residents Of Okla
homa. Mr.. Fulton promptly disa-
vowed any intent to injure the feel
ings of anyone by his jocular re-
and shook his hand cordially.
The act was applauded and tne
incident happily closed.
The Oklahoma Congressman
merely fell into the habit of "sayin :
something mean about Arkansas"
although he protested 1t was only
in Joke, little knowing what a hor-
net's-nest he would stir up in the
chair occupied by the fiery little
Representative from Lonoke county
Mr.. Robinson arose to the occa-
sion in a manner that shows him to
be true Arkasan, and Mr.. Fulton
showed that he Is true gentleman
by making the amende honorable
But he will not joke any more at
the expense of Arkansas.

THE INTERURBAN
IS SUED AGAIN
Pole Contractor Says He Got Out His
Poles According to Contract and
When He Went to Deliver
Them the Secretary Re.
fused to Accept.

Another suit for damages has been
filed against the Little Rock and Pine
Bluff Traction Company. 1t was filed
yesterday morning in the Chancery
Court at Little Rock by Mehaffy, Will
liams C Armistead for D. A. Byrd,
and $4,000 is the amount of damages
asked for.
Byrd claims that on December he
was awarded a contract by tn traction
company to get out cypress poles for
the trestles to be built on the line be-
tween Argenta and Little Rock for
which he was to receive 1926 for each
pole which came UP to the require
ments. The poles were to be delivered
along the right of way. Each pole was
to be cut from sound and growing tim
Der, thirty-five feet in length and eight
inches in diameter at the top. Byrd
was also to dress down the poles so
there would be no rough places where
the limbs were cut off.
! In pursuance to this contract Byrd
says he went to work and got out the
poles, and recently he asked the secre-
tary of the company where to put them
and received the information that the
company had no way to put them
Byrd says that when the company in
corporated, it certified that it had a
paid up capital of $4,000 and 100000
of the stock subscribed for. II this be
true, Byrd thinks he should be grant
ed damages amounting to $4,000
which sum he says he is entitled to
through fulfilling the contract given to
him.
