 Senator Oldham said Ithat if the flow of the water in the bayou was interfered with much land in 1onoke county would suffer from overflow and for that reason he would vote against the measure.
 Senator Rasco said that the objec- tions raised to the bill were a1to- gether imaginary. The obict of the bill, he said, was to construct dam so that the water in the bayou might be retained during the dry season for the purpose of irrigating the rice fields in the vicinity and that it would be so constructed that the flow of water would not be interrupted in case of any danger of overflow.

SENATOR DAVIS MOVED TO TEARS AT CHURCH
Says He Wants to Lead Better Life
 and Wants to Try-tO Fill the Place of His Wife.

His voice choked with emotion and big tears standing in his eyes, Sen- ator Jeff Davis rose ill prayer meet ing at the First Baptist church We'd nesday night and pledged himself to a better Christian life, declaring that his greatest desire is to take ; the place of his late wife in the church.
 James o. Johnson, president of the Carmichael Johnson bank and an old political enemy of Senator Davis, was moved to tears by the declaration of his former antagonist and when the senator had taken his seat, rose to pledge himself to do more for God and the church. As Mir. Johnson was speaking, Senator Davis cried softly and tears glistened in many eyes at the confessions of the two men.
 Senator Davis was the first to rise after Rev Ben Cox, the pastor, turn ed the meeting over to-the congrega- tion for a season of prayer. He de- c1ared he had not lived as he ought to have lived and wanted to discharge his duty during the rest of his l.fe to God and the church. He declared that if there was anything wanted of him in the church. the members had but to call on him. He said his greatest desire is to take the place of his late wife in the church, al though he professed he realized he could never fill it. He asked the prayers of the minister and the. con- gregation to help him fulfill his pledge and to rear his children.
 The senator was crying as he took his seat and tears glistened in near ly every eye in the church while many were sobbing in sympathy. MT. < Johnson had tears in his eyes as he arose after Senator Davis had ceased speaking. He declared he felt good over what his former political enemy had said and said that he himself would lead better Christian life.
 Senators Davis wife, who died re- gently, was faithful church-goer and a consistent Christian and was loved by large circle of acquaintances.- Little Rock Gazette.
