"L!D" WAS OFF
 AT STATE FAIR
GOVERNOR DONAGHEY'S LET- TETS TO OFFICIALS WERE NOT DELIVERED.
SHERIFF WAS "OUT OF CITY"
Bar and Concession Attractions Were c oaed. on Sunday, While Thou sands Thronged the Grounds and Viewed Exhibits-Airship Made Daily Trips Through Skyland.

Hot Springs.-The regular sched uled program was carried out at the State fair Sunday before the largest audience since opening day, and ill., terest seemed only accelerated be, cause of the attempt to put the lid on the big exposition.
 Letters had been addressed by Governor Donaghey at the instance of committee of ministers to Cir cult Judge Evans, Prosecuting At torney Means and Sheriff Houpt, and copies furnished President w. w.. Waters and Secretary Ray Gill of the association, requesting that no v-o.a- tion of the Sunday law be permitted None of the parties received his mes sage from the governor. The former two officials do not reside here and did not visit the city. Sheriff Houpt was not in the city and neither Pres ident Waters nor Secretary Gill re- ceived their mail on Sunday.
 Not only was local enthusiasm un- daunted. but the largest attendance of any day since the fair opened thronged into the city on excursions The bar and the concession attrac- tions, however, were closed in con- formity with the Sunday law.
 Frank Goodale in his Strobel air ship made daily fights, and the dirig ib'e threaded it's way among tho mountain peaks in manner whi h e'icited the cheers of the thousands present

Fruit Growino Profitable.

Possessing some Of the finest fruit growing country in the United States, Arkansans are rapidly aban- doning the old haphazard methods of fruit growing and are becoming bor- ticulturists in the truest sense of the word. The development being made by Arkansas in other lines in no way exceeds the remarkable progress of horticulture.
 This state is said 70 have a wider diversity of products than any region of like size on the American conti- nent. Almost every fruit known to man has been grown in some part of Arkansas. The real frlits of the state, however, and the ones for which it has become noted, are the products of the hill country-peach es, apples and strawberries.
 The E.berta peach of Crawford, Johnson Sand Sevier counties is one of the finest grown, and the peach growing industry in these counties is developing by leaps and bounds. The largest peach orchard in the world is located in Sevier county Hundreds of acres of trees are bear ing in these three counties alone, and a scattering of orchards can be found in Pope, Little River, Hemp stead and many counties of the southern tier.
 The industry has not developed in these counties, however, as it has Tn Crawford, Johnson and Sevier coun- ties. strip of pecu iar sandy soil which seems to be particularly well adapted to peach growing runs through Crawford, Franklin and Johnson counties. Peaches grown there have a remarkably rich flavor found nowhere else in the country. The industry has not developed to any large extent in Franklin county, however.

RICE ACREAGE DOUBLES.
Senator Rosco of DeWit. Gives Sur
 prising Figures.


 Little Rock.-Senator E. D. Rosco of Dewitt was a recent visitor in Little Rock on a business trip, and incidentally spread the story of the magic development of the rice grow ing industry in Arkansas county.
 The opening a week or so ago of the new rice mil at Dewitt draws particular attention to the rapid rate at which lands in Arkansas county are being turned to rice culture. Tae new mill is the largest Tn the sta,.e and is said by engineers to be one of the largest and finest in the en- tire country. It is a four story struc- ture and covers an entire block
 "A bank cashier in my town bought 120 acres last year, sunk his wei !, put in the necessary improvements and planted it in rice" said the sen- ator. His crop this fall brought him enough to pay for the land and all he had spent on it and left a fair return on the investment. Another friend of mine with a large acreage had a crop that averaged 114 bushels to the acre.
 "A well contractor in Dewitt told me that he already had contracts to put down as many wells next year as he put down during tke past year, that is, about 200 And 1910 is still several months off.
 "The rice acreage and crop of Ar kansas county doubled this year over 1908 and wi il double again next year oyer this. More than 10000 acres are now under cultivation and land is being developed at an astounding rate"

HEAVY FIRE LOSS.
Newport the Scene of a Destructive
 Conflagration.

Conflagraton.
 Newport-Three hundred and ten bales of cotton and $10,000 worth of other property went up in flames when the Wolff-Go Gman Mercantile eompany's frame warehouse, cotton platform and stables were destroyed the total loss being about $30,000 At $65 bae the BIO bales of cotton were worth $20,150. The loss on the warehouse is S5,000 and on it's con tents the same amount The cotton was insured nearly to it's full value. The building was partly insured.
 Tho fire started in the cotton yard from unknown causes and every thing combustible was consumed in a little more than half an hour. So fierce were the flames that the best the fire department, could do was to save adjoining property.
 Five thousand dol ars' worth of wagons and farm implements were stored in the warehouse. The horses in the. stables were rescued, and a dozen bales of cotton were saved.
 The cotton yard and buildings oc- cupied 2 half block on Plum and Beach streets.

Prohibition Eioht Is On.

Little Rock. - The Anti-Saloon league of Arkansas has begun it's campaign against the liquor traffic.
 The league will select candidates throughout the nineteen senatorial districts where vacancies exist, and make efforts to nominate them at the primaries to be held next March.
 The executive committee of the Anti-Saloon league, which met re- gently in Litt.e Rock, agreed upon a plan of action requiring every can didate for the state senate to an- nounce his position on the liquor question. The candidates favorable to statutory statewide prohibition will receive their support, and those favorable to local option, the system in vogue at present in this state, will be opposed.

Wants License Cancelled.

The suit of Finley vs. Shemwell, appealed from Clay county, has reached the supreme court. Shem- we'll operates ferry over Current river, in that county, and alleges that Finley secured license for a ferry, representing that he was to To- cate it so that it would not be with in three miles of any other ferry, when in fact, he declares, ShemweIl is located within a mile o. the lat ter. He asked $500 damages and the cancellation of F!nlev's license.

Justice Battle to Retire.

Litt'e Rock-The doubting oracles who took upon themselves the task of denying the statement recently printed that Associate Justice B. B. Battle of the Arkansas supreme cou t would retire at the close of his pres
 uous service of twenty-four years
 will doubtless become convinced, as the judge himself, ill one of the Lit
 tie Rock papers, says he vii not be candidate for another term. The announcement caused great surprise.

Thousands Inspect Depot.

Little Rock.-Between 10000 and 15,000 people visited the new Union station Sunday, according to esIi- mates made by various persons in and around the depot who observed the steady stream of people tha~ poured into the new structure on one side of the sidewalk and out on tn other. There was an incesSan, stream ot peep passing ir and out of the building throughout the en- tire day. The change in weather brought the majority of the people of Little Rock out of doors yesterday and all roads seemingly led to the new depot

 Has Six-Lecged Bu'Ifrog.

Sheridan.-Clifton Mcdonald has in his possession a freak of natu e which is attracting much ten,ion. It is a bullfrog with six well devel- oped legs. Four of the six legs are in the position that nature has al ways found it best to D ace frogs legs, but the remaining two are on the right side half way between the front and hind legs on that side. His frogship is lively, and seems to suf- fer no inconvenience from being the possessor of so many legs.

Boy Desperate Robs Bank.

Lawrence, Kas.-scores ol armed citizens are searching for Earl Bull lock, an 1S-year-o d de~perado, who robbed the State bank at Eudora.
 Bullock was arrested in Eudora by Deputy Sheriff Woods on 9 charge of robbing store. The deputy took the boy to the State bank with him while he talked to. Cashier F.. E. Will son. Bullock. during the conversa- tion, drew two revolvers and ordered the pair to throw up their hands. Then he locked them in vault and snatching s1,000, he fled. Two hours later citizens recessed the two men.

Quarterly Expenses Heavy.

During the quarter just cosed the general revenue fund, or an average of about $S0,000 per month. This was an unusually heavy expense ae- count, as the average monthly ex- penses are about $55,000. The in- crease during the third quarter, how ever, was due in large measure to the fact that the county assessors drew their pay for the year. Half the expense of assessing the prop erty of the county is paid by the state, the other half being paid by the county. This item amounts to about $40,000 annually.
 The approximate total of cash in the general revenue fund at the be- ginning of the last quarter of the year, October 1, was $126,000 This, with small amounts received through the secretary of states department, will have to keep the state going" until 1910.
 While it is not expected that the monthly expenses will be anything as large for the ensuing quarter as for that closed, yet they will figure about $60,000 or $65,OOO, owing to the opening of the state charitable schools and the administration of the State university; so that, with the most careful administration of the finances, the general fund can hard be expected to hold out longer han til December l,

Serious Fire at Jonesboro.

Jonesboro.-The large warehouse and manufacturing plant of the Bar. ton Brick and Lumber company was practically destroyed by fire The estimated loss in building and stock is between $3O,OO0 and $40,0oO, with about $15,000 insurance The fire is supposed to have been started on the roof, caused by spark from the smokestack.
 w. J. Sanders. an emplcye, was seriously injured by jumping from a third story window.

Will Grow Rice in Ouachita.

Camden.-Rice vii be grown in Ouachi,a and Calhoun counties next year. Dr. J. T. Henry of Eagle Mills, who planted an experiment fed this year and demonstrated that the ne lands near Camden were suitable for it's culture, will plant about eighty acres next year. Dr. J. s. Rinehart. a prominent physician of this city, and John Profit, a leading farmer. are making arrangements to plant 100 acres. The Freeman-Smith Lum- Der company of Millville, who also planted an experimental field in Cal houn county, will try it on a large scale. The pine lands have been con- sidered almost entirely worthless, and not so very long ago the Eag Lumber company offered 4,500 acres at 75 cents per acre. But since it has been found that these lands are suitable for the growing of rice the price has inclined steadily upward.

PoIicyho!ders Are Worried.

Inquiries are again coming into the state auditors department regarding the Southern Underwriters associa- tion," alias the Commercial Insur- ance association alias number Ci other high sounding titles, supposed to have headquarters in San Antonio, Tex, and which has been operating in clandestine way in Arkansas for the past two years.
 About six months ago the insur- ance department of the state had inquiries from persons who had talk en out policies in this organization, of alleged company, q though 1t was not authorized to operate in the state.

El Dorado-The Agee Wagon com pany of this place Is arranging to rebuild it's factory on tho site of the one just burned, which was new and fully equipped and had only been in operation a few weeks. The loss was a hard. blow to the stcckho' ders, as the plant was valued at S35,000 new and modern in all respects, and was insured for less than one-th,rd it's real value.

Citizens Anxious for President to

Pine B.uff-Another effort is being made by the commercial bodies Of Arkansas and Memphians to bring alout a change of the itinerary of Pre-. ident Taft, so as to bring him tn. ouc,h the lowlands of the Missis- sippi val ey, and possibly interest him in tEe great movement to re- claim the lands in this section Of the country through proper drainage. Many of the secretaries of commer- cial bo~ies throughout the state of Arkansas are writing letters to Jas. K. h, president of the Business Mems leaoue of St. Louis, who has the presidents southern trip in hand, urging hi.l to use his personal in- f1uence to induce the president to travel by rail from Cape Girardeau to Memphis.

CARLOAD OF CRAP SHOOTERS.
Thirty-nine Negroes Taken in One
 Raid Near Arqenta.

Argenta.-The largest haul ever made by Argenta Officers in a raid on crap game was accomplished by the capture of th;rty-nIne negroes charged with crap shooting in a bunk car at "Nigger Hi l." near McAlmont, the prisoners being emp oyel on the double tracking of the Iron Noun tain at that point. So numerous were the prisoners that two large wagons had to be hired from a farmer to convey them to town.
 It was a jolting ride fer the pris- oners, and to partly protect them, and also to prevent their escape, heavy siding, such as is used in hauling cotton, was put on the Wa gons Then, with officers in buggies at the head and tail of the process sion, the outfit started for Little Rock, arriving at o'clock in the morning. Justice Ivy was aroused from bed and went to his office, where the prisoners were ,isted and then taken to the county jail, six being released on bail.

Ouachita County Active.

A report received by the depart ment of education from Ouachita county shows that there has been much interest in that section in the Boys Corn club contests. The Qua chita county contest brought out a large number of exhibitors. Rev. J. F. Mckenzie, pastor of the Manse Presbyterian church at Fl Dorado, took a leading part in the promotion of the contest and in raising the prizes.
 Incidentally, in making his report he makes an inquiry the answer to m-l-h will probably interest many others connected with the county eX- hibits now being held, and that is as to whom the prize winning exhibits should be sent at Hot Springs. Su perintendent Cook states that al these exhibits should be sent to Hot Springs in care of the secretary of the state fair, Ray Gill.

Extensive Minina Interests.

It has been said that a man who lives in Arkansas has three chances at fortune: what is below the ground, what is on the ground and what is above the ground. Of these the fortune be.ow the ground is by no means the least, for, while the mineral wealth Of the state has been as yet but meagerly exploited, enough is known to prove that vast riches exist there.

These figures show that the value of the minerals mined in Arkansas, excluding bauxite, was more than six and one-quarter mil icns of dol lars. The amount or value of the bauXite production was kept secree by the Pittsburg Reduction company, the onIy producer. Coal was pro duced in the amount of 2,670,4 ,438 tons, lime in the amount of 33,0O0 ,ons and mineral waters to the ex- ent of 431 900 gallons.
 More than 75 per cent of the bauX- ite, aluminium ore, of the world is produced within from four to twenty five mi es of Little Rock. The out put is more than 90 per cent of the production of the United States, the only other mines of any commercial value in this country being found in Georgia and Alabama, and these are practically exhausted. The bauxite found in the Little Rock field will average 60 per cent aluminium and runs very ow in silica and iron.
 The bauxite field e.tends from Lit tie Rock in a southWesterly direction to Benton in strip sixty-eight miles wide. The Pittsburg Reduction com pony is working extensively in the field and has a $500,OOO plant at Bauxite.
 1ne ore is reduced here and ship ped to East St. Louis, where it un- derqOeS another nrOceSS of refinin 9 and then is shipped to Niagara Falls, where it is reduced to metallic a.um- mum.

Another Cash Pay Dav.

Pay day for the states employees has come again and gone, and with it full cash pay to everybody on the pay roll.
 This condition is expected to be repeated about twice more this year, and after that it is pretty certain that warrants for the monthly labors of those who drive the ship of state will have to be paid in scrip for a few months.
 ' It is figured that the general rev enue wi keep ahead of the hounds, so to speak, until December. After that the revenues will be slack until well into the new year.

Who Owns This Town?

A case involving the title to the townsite of the town of Ogemah, fin Ouachita county, has been appealed to the state supreme court, under the style of Oscar H. Winn ct al. ys. q. w. Campbell ct al. The plaintiffs aim title to the property under a patent issued from the state in 1905. They base this claim further on the contention that the land was a part of large section granted to the state in 1S41, for the aid of state in- ,ernal improvement projects.
 The defendants, who are now in possession of the land and have been for number of years, claim title on the ground that they have been in open possession for twenty years. and that the land nsver really be- onged to the state through the grant of 1841. The judgment ir the lower court was favorable to the defend ants, Campbell ct al.

The board of trustees of the North

Irvine in any ,arge quantities, unless
! the situation !: shall be materially
4nhanged between now and spring,
: However, they are well pleased
with the circumstances which . will
permit them to manufacture $50 feet
Of pure manila Irvine and sell It, at
the prices quoted ABOVE. The only
limit to the amount of pure manila
that will be turned out by the factory
at the penitentiary, will be the a:bil.
ity of the factory to make the Irvine.
THE management have secured a
large stock of very superior grade
of fibre, and the factory Is now and
has been for long time, busy max
ing the finest grade of pure manila
twine that has ever been offered by
anyone at any time.
Owing to circumstances in the
Irvine and fibre market, the farmers
Of the state should be congratulated
on being exempt from the extortion
Of the binder Irvine trust for at least
one more year.
