Hogs Legally Drowned.

In response to an inquiry as to whether a farmer has the right, in con- structing a wire fence to separate his property from that of his neighbor's, to extend it across a small stream ad- joining his farm. Attorney General Kirby states that there is no law to prohibit the construction of such fence.
 The inquiry came from a farmer who had lost some hogs which were drowned in the stream by becoming entangled in wire fence. The own CT of the hogs was of the opinion that the fence was extended into the stream for the purpose of drowning stock that came in contact with it. If such were proven to be the fact, he believed the owner of the fence would be liable to prosecution on the charge of malicious mischief. MT. Kirby held otherwise, and it is not believed any attempt will be made to have the fence removed

H. H. Myers Resiqns.

H. H. Myers, register of the United States Land Office at Little Rock, made public the fact Tuesday that he wired his resignation last Friday to James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior, and that the resignation was forthcoming because the secretary wired asking that the resignation be tendered- immediately. The resigna. tion was demanded because MT. My CTS had accepted the nomination for Congress in the Second congressional district of Arkansas while already in the employ of the government.
 MT. Myers explained that on last Friday he received telegram signed by James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior, which read:
 Having accepted congressional nomination, your resignation is re- quested."
 Following the instruction of the tele. gram Mir. Myers wired Mr. Garfield as follows:
 Compliance with your request of even date, resignation mailed today"
 As indicated by the telegram, MT Myers mailed his resignation, and he is merely waiting the formal accept ance of it

The Board Failed to Meet.

Attornty General w. F. Kirby was engaged Tuesday in searching for au- thorities to determine the question of the legality of a County Equalization Board to meet and equalize assess ments, the board having failed to meet at the time required by law.
 The Boone county board is the one that neglected to hold it's meeting as it is required to do by the statutes. The law says the equalization boards of the several counties must meet on the second Monday in September A board could meet on that day and ad- journ to some future day, but the Boone county board failed to do this and has never had meeting since. The question has arisen, if the Boone county equalizers should now meet, would it's acts be legal?
 There seems to be no provision in the statutes for such case.

Hope to Effect a Compromise.

There will be lull in the agitation for lower frieght rates until the rail- roads and the shippers of Little Rock confer with each other on october and '. On these days, representatives from the Iron Mountain, the Rock Island and the Cotton Belt will dis cuss the reasonableness of the g per cent advance in rates, with the Execu- tive Committee of the Merchants Freight Bureau. The shippers, who are willing to give in somewhat, be- lieve that a compromise will be effect ed.
 Arbitration worked in Memphis, and Manager Bragg believes that it will in Little Rock At all events, all legal action against the roads will be dropped until the results of the conference are shown. AS one of the most prominent shippers said: We are going to do everything to allow the railroads to come to terms. We dislike rouslng enmity between the two sides through a legal fight, when all differences may be adjusted amicably, in conference.

NUMBER 30.
To RaiDe Fund for Orphanaqe.

A handsome brick orphanage, capa- ble of accommodating 100 homeless children, will be erected by the Metho- dist Episcopal church, South, at the corner of Fifteenth and Commerce streets, Little Rock, at a cost of $30,0O0.
 At meeting of the laymen from all portions of the state, held Thurs day at the Masonic Temple in Little Rock, this decision was reached, and plans were perfected for raising the fund, which is to be collected by subscription within a period of 30 days.
 Rev. NJ. B. Umsted of Beebe was ap. pointed to have charge of the cam paign for raising the funds, but it was decided that one Iayman in each of the 21 districts in the state would be ap- pointed to have charge of the work in his particular district. The church has had the plan of rebuilding the orphanage under consideration for some time, and those who attended the meeting Thursday were enthu- siastic in their support of the project.
 The church now owns three lots at Fifteenth and Commerce streets, upon which is a large wooden structure used for the home. The orphanage is in charge of the matron and one assistant and they are aided in caring for the inmates by the older girl in the home.

A Limited Dollar Wage.

Cotton pickers are receiving $1 per 100 pounds in the vicinity of England, Lonoke county, according to Postmas- ter Schooley of that place, but It IS only in the lowlands northeast of Eng land. where it is necessary to gather the crop at once lest heavy rains should come and inundate the fields. The cotton, too, MT. Schooley says, is of rather poor grade and picker cannot gather as many pounds as ln a first-class crop.
 The tempting price is having it's effect on the negroes, and the other plantation owners of that district find it necessary to raise their price in order to secure help. As high as 80 cents is being offered on plantations where the growth is heavy and easy to pick, but in all other portions of the county and in Pulaski, 50 cents remains the ruling rate.

State Capital Notes
Gets liberty On Bail.

w. l.. Greer, who was charged by a coroner's jury with the unjustifiabIe killing of James w. Reneau, was aI- lowed to give bail Tuesday in the sum of $5,000. Bail was granted by Judge Lea Tuesday morning after W. F.. the state. No argument was made by counsel either for MT. Greer or for the state
 In a habeas corpus proceeding the burden of proof is on the defendant and, for that reason, after the testi- mony had been submitted, Judge Lea asked MT. Rhoton who is MT. Greer's attorney, if he cared to argue the case, MT. Rhoton said he did not unless the court had some doubt as to the right of the defendant to give bail
 T am clearly of the opinion this is a bailable case" said Judge Lea The state through Roy D. Campbell, prose- cutting attorney, declined to make any argument.
 In fixing the amount of bail, MT. Rhoton said that he thought a dollar would be sufficient to guarantee MT. Greer's appearance in court when wanted, but suggested that the bond be fixed in any amount not exceeding $5,000. He maintained his client could make qualified bond for $100,000. Without objection the bond was fix ed at $5,000
 The bond was signed within a few minutes after the court announced it's decision and MT. Greer was not re- turned to jail
