FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.

Assistant State Agent Mason
Snowden, whose present head
quarters are at Shreveport, La, is
in the city conferring with Special

Mr.. Snowden expects to have Lit

Mr.. Snowden seemed to be much
pleased over the interest manifest
ed in the demonstration work in
this county. The employment
of a special agent to devote his en-
tire time here, " said Mr.. Snowden,
''is the finest investment your
county ever made. Sooner or Ia

be infested with the boil weevil, as
that insect which has wrought
such havoc farther south is grad

your system of agriculture in ad-
vance, you will be many times
better prepared to meet the ravages
of the boil weevil when it comes.

St. Patrick's DaY.

Probably a majority of those
who are today celebrating ''St.
Patrick's Day" are imbued with
the notion that St. Patrick was an
Irishman and that this is an ami
versary of his birth. But those
who think so are wrong. St. Pat
rick was not Irish and although it
is highly probable that he had a
birthday history fails to record the
date. And his parents didn't call
him Patrick. Ireland was St.
Patrick's land only by adoption
and by right of evangelical con-
quest. St. Patrick may never have
driven the snakes and toads out of
Ireland, as tradition says he did j,
but he certainly did drive out
paganism, so that for centuries
after his death the country was
known as "Island of the Saints.
This day is the anniversary of
the founding of the first church in
Ireland, at Saul, near Stanford
Laugh, County Down, Ulster, on
March IT, 465, or I444 years ago
today.
He was born in Scotland sup
posedly in 372 and his baptismal
name was Succat. He was taken
to Ireland when IS years old as a
captive and slave of King Dalara-
dia, in which condition he remain
ed for seven years. He learned
the Irish language and customs.
He went to Gaul later and became
priest and bishop taking the
name of Patricus upon his ordina-
ton. He later returned to Ireland
and after completing his litework
there died at the place where his
first church was founded, his good
works living in the memory of the
Irish until this day.

LOCAL BILLS IN BOTH HOUSES
Many Under Consideration by
the Legislature.
Fifty-Six Bills Handled by the Senate and
rs Acted Upon by the
House.

Little Rock, March Io.-The
Senate was busy yesterday, hand
ling Sc measures. For the first
time since the Legislature conven
ed there was not quorum present
in the afternoon but the sergeant
alarms soon rectifed this.
Senate bill I66, Fletcher, to
protect the union label, was also
passed. Senate bill I79, Rowland, i,
requiring abstractors to give $5,-
900 bond was defeated Holland
introduced a bill making more
stringent the gambling laws; read
twice. The bill giving notaries
the right to perform marriage cere-
monies was defeated. Other bills
introduced were: 274, Rowland,
requiring notice in suits affecting
titles to filed in the county where
the property is located; referred to
committee; I75, Bush, for exc mp
ton of wages, referred to judiciary
committee; 277, Edmondson, per-
mitting others but sheriff or deputy
to serve summons; to judiciary
committee; 27S, Martin, giving

Senator Patterson gave notice
he would call up his state capitol
bill Thursday, and it was made a
special order for that day.
The house was likewise busy,
taking some action upon IS bills,
of which eight were passed. All
new bills were passed to a second
reading. Nothing but local bust
ness was acted upon, however, the
changing of the name of the poor
house in Clay county to the Coun-
ty Home being characteristic.
The amended Gam state wide
prohibition bill is expected to
come up for consideration today
and when the representatives start
for it the fur is expected to fly,
but it is generally thought the bill
will pass as amended by the senate,
calling for submission July IA.

SAID TO Be NOT
CONSTITUTIONAL

Little Rock, March I7.-There is
one bill now on the hands of the
House which will be permitted to
die a natural death. 1t is one
providing for the creation Eigh-
teenth judicial district to be COM
posed of Montgomery, Polk and
Scott counties. The reason for the
defeat of this bill is because it can
not be done under the present con-
stitution of the state. The consti-
tuition provides that any person
charged with crime in a circuit
court of district, shall have the
right to change of venue to the
other county of the district. The
formation of this proposed Eigh-
teenth district would leave Sebas-
tian county alone to form a district.
This county now has two districts
of the circuit court, one in Fort
Smith and the other governing the
territory outside of the Fort Smith
township, with court in Green
wood. The Supreme Court has
already rendered an opinion on a
case which went up from Sebastian
county some years ago that the
change of venue from one court to
the other in Sebastian county was
not the same as a change of venue
to another county of the district,
consequently, under the constitu-
ton, Sebastian county could not
be made into a district all by itself.

SWATY Goes
FOR IMMIGRANTS

Little Rock, March Io.-Special.
With a head stocked full of in
formation about every nook and
corner of Arkansas, Col. A. V.
Swaty, formerly a demonstrator for
the agricultural department, and
stationed in Arkansas for num-
Der of years, left today for Ger
many and Austria to recruit 800
families which he will in the fall
bring to Arkansas to be added to
the population of Yell and Hot
Springs counties.
Col. Swaty is now at the head
of colonization company which
controls large tracts of land in these
two counties, which is to be sold
cheap to the immigrants. 1t is
especially adapted to the farming
pursuits of the German farmers
in the sections of South Germany
and Austria, which will be visited
by Col. Swaty. He expects to
have no trouble in persuading this
number of immigrants to Arkansas,
with their families, as railroads of
the state are behind him in the
movement and offer inducements
which are most enticing to the fru-
gal German farmer. Col. Swaty
already has the promise of large
number to immigrate to America,
and if possible they will all leave
on one steamer and come to Lit
tie Rock via New York, in No
vember, by special trains.
This business Col. Swaty ex-
poets to make his life's work in
the future, and he has opened an
Office here which will act in con-
junction with him while he is in
Germany. Col. Swaty expects to
spend one-half If each year in
Germany and the balance in this
country with the immigrants he
brings over. When the lands in
Hot Springs and Yell counties are
all taken up, the immigrants will
be switched to other counties, but
Col Swaty will never bring over
immigrants for any state but Ark
ansas. which he considers the gar
den spot of the world.

Resolutions of Respect.

TO the consul commander, officers
and members of Conway Camp
No. IS w. O. w.
Your committee to whom was
referred the matter of drafting res
olutions of respect to our beloved
Sow. VIM. L. Durham, who de-
parted this life March 2, 1909,
would beg leave to report:
Whereas, Our hearts have been
made sad indeed by the visitation
of the angel of death, at the home
of our beloved sovereign and in so
doing called from his home the
husband and father of a loving
and devoted wife and affectionate
children and once again the aged
mother is made sad as she attends
the bedside of her dying boy, only
so recently berett OF another son.
"Lihu" as we familiarly called
him, was an honest, upright citi-
zen and respected by all who knew
him. He joined the Woodmen
May S, 1908, and was ever ready
to do his part as Chopper In the
Forest, and to assist those who
needed it by deed, word or action.
Resolved, That we tender to
his wife and his two little ones
our heartfelt sympathy and in so
doing we would not forget his aged
mother. Oh what true devotion
and love, words cannot, will not
express them. But allow us to
add that a mothers true reward
cannot be had in this life, but in
the sweet by and by our tears will
be stayed and nothing but love
and eternal happiness will be the
true mothers S reward.
Resolved, That the charter and
working tools Of this Camp be
draped in mourning for thirty
days, and that page in our record
book be set apart in "Memoriam"
and that a copy of these resolutions
be furnished to the bereaved family
and that our county paper be re-
quested to publish same.

In addition to providing for the
discharge of Caldwell & Drake,
George R. Mann and the present
commissioners, the Patterson bill
provides that the differences be-
tween the state and the contractors
shall be settled by a board compos-
ed of the two federal judges in
Arkansas and the chief justice OF
the Arkansas supreme court, as
recommended by Governor Dona-
ghey in his inaugural address. 1t
also provides for the organization
of new board OF commissioners
ia be appointed by the governor to
complete the building.
The passage of the bill will be
regarded as great victory for the
administration, as it was in the
senate that the greatest opposition
was expected. Friends of the bill
feel confident that it will pass the
house of representatives by good
majority. The fact that it passed
the senate before the report of the
expert engineers, which is expected
to be adverse to. the contractors, is
also regarded as significant. This
report will be in the hands of the
house committee on the state cap
itol by the time the Patterson bill
reaches the house.

HARPER'S SUCCESSOR

A Z a meeting in Blanchard hall this
IN afternoon at o'clock the impor-
"A tant question of successor to
Mayor Harper will be taken up. Invi-
tations sent out by the Municipal league
say the meeting will be held ito nom
mate a candidate for mayor Of Los
Angeles to run in opposition to Mayor
Harper at the recall election, which it is
now practically certain will be held.
This, is THE ONLY PURPOSE OF
THE MEETING"
The resolution to place candidate
in the field promptly is in keeping with
the definite and businesslike manner in
which the business mems recall of
Mayor Harper is being gone about.
With an assurance that an honest,
good, upright, fair, square, true, tried
and trustworthy, bona fide business
man will be selected to fill the mayor
atty, the last excuse for possible hesita-
ton over the recall will have vanished.
Good citizens who hung back because
they said they wanted to know some
thing about the successor of Mayor
Harper before giving their support to
proceedings for his removal will now be
able to go forward in the direction in
iicated by their consciences. The sue
cessor to Mayor Harper will be a
thoroughly efficient, responsible busi-
ness man, capable of appreciating the
grave responsibilities Of the Office of
mayor, capable of doing his duty, his
whole duty and nothing but his duty
as the clean executive of clean city.
