ID HAVE CLAY
 PLANTS IN YEAR
Eastern Expert, Declares After Invcs- tiqation That Industry Will Be
 Built Up Here Soon.

Little Rock.-Arkansas has un- touched clay resources which need only development to yield millions of dollars annually and which with the contemplated river transportation and cheaper coal rates would supply the markets for clay materials Of the entire South and Southwest, accord ing to w. L. Goeltz, a representative of four leading concerns manufactur- ing clay materials in the East and who is now in Arkansas inspecting the clay deposits of the state. MT. Goeltz declared that the quality of the clay deposits of Arkansas is un- surpassed by those of any other state. He said that by the close of the pres ent year several plants probably would be in operation in Arkansas de- yeloping and turning into articles of commercial value the hitherto spurn- ed and unused clay.
 So confident is Mr. Goeltz of the future of the industry in this state that he will establish permanent headuuarters in Little Rock. and will at once take the preliminary steps toward securing the interest of the concerns which he represents in the clay deposits here. Analyses of va rious samples of clay from different parts of the state will be made and the samples will be submitted to thorough tests.
 The clay deposits which I find in the vicinity of Little Rock could be be used for tiling. fire proofing, flow CT pots and face brick, said MT. Goeltz. The deposits contain an exceptionally fine quality of clay and are entirely undeveloped Arkansas brings large amount of clay mate rials into the state at large ship ping expense, when it could well be the center of supply for the entire Southern and Southwestern markets. The amount of revenue which could annually be derived from this indus try would easily reach into millions of dollars.

 on Saturday and Play Monday.

Russellville.-A petition is being circulated in the school of this city by the pupils who ask that they be given Monday. instead of Saturday, for their weekly holiday. The peti- tion is being signed by great many students, but it is meeting with some opposition.
 The principal reason given for the change is that it will create col lege spirit among the pupils and thus improve the school The petition is addressed to the Russellville School Board, but that body has taken no ac- tion on the question up to the present time, as the petition has not yet been placed in their hands.

Individual Cups.

The reported new enterprise of
the Boston and Maine system,
whereby through t penny-in-the-
slot arrangement the thirsty pas
senger is not obliged to conserve
his thirst or else drink from the
common cup or glass, is one to
be commended. In Kansas the
state board Of health has prohib-
tied the use of.the common drink
ing cup so far as it can exert it's
authority. 1t is prohibited on
railroad trains and at schools.
and the state has set an example
which might be profitably follow
ed all over the country. There
is no doubt that the practice of
using a single cup for a great
number of persons frequently
provides conditions for the de-

JUSTICE TO Mr.. DAVIS.

Elsewhere in this issue we
reproduce an editorial from the
New Haven, Conn., Register,
with editorial comment from the
Atlanta Georgian in which it
pays a high tribute to the life
and character of Jeff erson Davis
and gives to the South's great
chieftain a just place in the his
tory Of his country.
For nearly half a century Mr..
d wis has been maligned and
condemned for the part he play
ed in the act of secession, but
during these years there has
been constantly growing a senti-
ment in the North that Mr..
Davis had been unfairly treated
and held up to scorn before his
fellow countrymen. Only re-
Gently, by act Of Congress, was
his name ordered placed once
more on the Cabin John Bridge
from which it had been ordered
erased by the federal govern
ment during the white heat of
passion brought on by the Civil
strife. Time, the great arbiter,
has removed with each year, the
prejudices existing among the
conservative and intelligent
element of the North, and the
brave and generous of that sec
ton are ready to admit the
wrongs of the past and to give
to Mr.. Davis that justice which
has been so long denied him. 1t
means much to take the bold
stand taken by the Register and
the South can but appreciate the
generous sentiments expressed
in it's editorial endorsing Mr..
Davis for a place in the National
Temple of Fame.
Mississippi is not represented
in this National Temple of Fame,

with hold all other names until

GET BUSY FOR THE NEXT FAIR.

to cur fair last week quite a
number who wore badges boost

1910, these boosters fully appre-

have already begun their work
to make the next fair at that

One of the drawbacks with
which the management Of the
Tri.County Fair contended was
the late beginning.
We have no word of criticism
for any of them, because they
made an admirable showing un-
der existing conditions and cir
cumstances. They are to be
commended for their untiring
efforts and their labors were
crowned with success.

for the next fair is the present.

and know better how to go after
it.

GOOD

IN announcer column Will U0
found an article signed Tax
Payer" in which the writer sets
forth the advantages of good
roads and suggests the issuance
of 5000, 900 bonds to be utilized
in improving the highways of
the county.
The question of good roads is
attracting universal attention
and the benefits to be derived
from their construction is gener
ally conceded. Occasionally you
will find a man who is opposed
to spending money to build good
roads, but this class, as a rule,
are opposed to any kind of i'm.
provement. In the article by
TAX Payer" it is demonstrated
that by paying a low rate of in
terest on the bonds we can have
better roads than we now have
and at a less cost.
AS we have said, it will be i'm
possible for the county to con-
struct good roads as the roads are
now laid out in this county. To
attempt such thing would bank
rupt the county the first year.
The hopelessness of such an un-
dertaking can better be illustrat-
ed by calling attention to the
fact that if the public roads of
Lee County were stretched in a
straight line by the side of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad they
would reach from Mobile TO St
Louis and beyond. So the solu-
ton of the difficult problem, it
would seem, lies in the PROPOSE
ton frequently made to construct
a good road through each Super
visors' Dristrict and one main
thoroughfare north and south
through the county. This would
give US about a hundred miles of
roads to build which would not
prove an impossible undertaking.
While we favor any PROPOSE
ton for the improvement of our
highways, we believe that if we
had a law SO framed that each
Supervisors District could build
it's own road then there would be
less ground for complaint. A
law authorizing the Board of Su-
pervisors to order an election on
a petition signed by two-thirds
of the tax payers Of the district
would offer an opportunity to
any Supervisors district to vote
a tax on themselves without i'm
posing a similar tax on another
district which would be consid-
cred a burden. This is in keep
ing with the idea Of local self
government and also furnishes
an opportunity.to one district in
a county to have good roads and
not impose an Objectionable tax
upon the other districts of the
county.
1t will be recalled that in the
introduction of the stock law in
this section it was bitterly oppos-
ed by many of our people and
frequently a bare majority could
be obtained on the petition ask
ing for its establishment. AS its
benefits were proven by expert
ence, other sections dropped in
line and after a few years the
entire county and adjacent coun-
ties adopted the system. AT this
time the most ultra could not be
induced to return to the old Sys
tenn of fencing the crops against
the stock. AS an experiment we
favor our plan rather than that
of "Tax Payers" We believe
that it is more practical, ard
better and quicker results would
be obtained.
