WOULD IRRICATE
 IN THIS STATE

Hot Springs, Oct. 30.-That the state of Arkansas would profit vastly from irrigation and to a relatively greater extent than the west, is the theory which is to be tested out here by man of means. He is Col. cum brella BillD McGuigan, former turf magnate and now practically a retired farmer. In a trip through the west this summer with his wife, MT. Me Guigan became impressed with The manner in which the western deserts have been converted into Towering fields. He now proposes to try out his idea on Garland county farms. He said:
 Land in the west with an irriga- ton system, which was formerly a desert, is now worth from $150 to $500 an acre. I believe that an adequate system of irrigation would greatly as- sist the farmers in this part of Ar kansas. There are a number of farms in Garland county which can be irri- gated at One-tenth the expense at tached to similar project in the west"
 Mir McGuigan proposes to aid some local farmers in trying out his theory.

WHITES AND BLACKS
 IN A BLOODY BATTLE

Pine Bluff, Oct. 3O.-ln four-cor- nered pistol battle, which was witness ed by many ladies and hundreds of others who had gathered on the down town streets to witness the Yankee Robinson circus parade, which oc- cured shortly after the noon hour yesterday, two negroes, Charles Rich ardson, his brother, Tom Richardson, pardoned convict; Judge James A. Frazier, one of the best known magis- trates in this section, and Sam Reed, well-to-do farmer of this county, were all painfully wounded, but none of them was seriously hurt.
 The battle took place in front of the general merchandise store of Charles We'll, on Barraque street, near Main. Several shots were fired, one of which took effect. This struck Charles Rich ardson's left hip, and it is miracle that no innocent bystanders were in- jured. Bullets flew in all directions, one striking the front door of the lief ferson barber shop, across the street, which was crowded at the time.
 The negroes were taken away in surrey, and Sheriff Philpot would not make known his destination. Judge Frazier and Mr. Reed were taken to the offices of Drs. w. T. Lowe and o. C. Hankinson, where their wounds were dressed. Frazier sustained bad scalp wound when Tom Richardson struck him over the head with re- volver, and one of the bullets from Tom Richardson's gun tore away part of the scalp from the left side of Mr. Reeds head.
 NEGROES ABUSED CHILDREN.
 When Charles Richardson abused the two little sons of Judge Frazier, he started the trouble. The boys told their father that Richardson cursed them and ran them out of a doorway, where they were waiting to see the parade Judge Frazier went to the negro and reprimanded him. It IS said that Richardson told Mir. Frazier that he was as good as he was Judge Frazier, fearing trouble with the ne gro. went to his office and secured his gun. He returned and tried to tell Richardson what he thought of him. Richardson replied insultingly, and Judge Frazier struck at him. Rich ardson grabbed the magistrate and the latter drew his gun, While they were struggling for the weapon, Tom Rich ardson ran up from behind and struck Judge Frazier over the head with a revolver. Sam Reed, a friend of Fraz- fer, tried to protect him, and when he saw Charles Richardson with FraZ- ier's gun he began shooting at both of the negroes. Tom Richardson s gun was also discharged, and the bull let struck MT. Reed on the head. Both Frazier and Reed were staggering when the officers took a hand, and they were forced to overpower the negroes before they could arrest them.
 Tom Richardson killed negro named McBeth in Pastoria township several years ago, and after serving a year was pardoned by Acting Cover nor Pindall. Charles Richardson has never been well thought of by the white people of this city, because of his race equality ideas.

HALLOWEEN TONIGHT.

Although tomorrow night is Hal loween, according to the calendar, the small boys of Conway will very prob- ably start celebrating tonight, because tomorrow night is Sunday night and they cant celebrate then. But, any way, look out for the ghosts and gob- lins that prowl tonight. They have a penchant, you remember, of lifting loose gates and placing lunch counter signs on woodsheds and other lonely outbuildings.
 On the social calendar are num- Der of hospitable and merry making events.

RICH CONTRACTOR
shot TO Death

Minneapolis, Nov. 5.-What was at
first believed to be suicide in Min
neapolis, now appears to be murder
according to Deputy Coroner Roam.
About O'Clock last evening resi-
dents in the neighborhood of Mime
haha avenue and Ninth avenue south,
heard two shots, but paid no heed
to them, and early this morning a
mill city policeman found the dead
body of Andrew Johnson, a wealthy
Lake Minnetonka contractor, lying
dead in an alley midway between
Minnehaha and Ninth avenues.
Shot to Death.
The matter was at once reported to
the coroner, who upon Investigation
found that Johnson had been killed
by the bullet from revolver, which
had entered the right temple; and
come out of the left temple. john
son lay on his face in the alleyway,
and under his right hand was a pistol
in which there were two empty cham
bers. There was no trace of the sec
ond bullet, and there is no way to
account for the two shots that were
heard by nearby residents last even
ing.
The police and the coroner both in
cline to the murder theory. Chief F.
T. Corriston said this morning that
whether it was a case of suicide or
murder it would bear Investigation,
and even now detectives are working
on the case.

Says Soil Of the South is Friendly
to Almost Everything the Farmer
Produces - Address Made Before
National Farmers Congress Friday
Evening.

Durham, n. c., Nov. 5.-stThe place
for the farmer now is in the south,
where soil is friendly to nearly every
product of the country" declared
Secretary Wilson of the national de-
partment of agriculture today in an
address before the National Farmers
congress during it's visit to Durham
to inspect the tobacco factories here.
Wilson said he had nothing
against education in schools and COL
leges of the country, but that their
tendency had been to educate away
from farms instead of towards them.
"0f course, the cities and lands of
the west have called men away" he
continued, t'but the place for the
farmer now is in the south where the
soil is friendly to nearly every pro-
duct Of the country. The abandon
ment of farms has been upon such a
scale that the danger of reducing
the country to an import, rather
than an export nation is evident"

fective Flue Has Been Repaired

water rate was well above contract.
ASfew minutes after the battleship
had passed Cape Ann, and while she
was entering the fourth hour of her
test, seven-inch tube in one of the
lower boilers blew out and filled the
room with steam. Engineers immed-
lately cut off four of the IA boilers.
As soon as the extent of the injuries
Of the firemen had been ascertained,
the North Dakota was swung around
and headed back up coast for this
port where it was known that good
harbor could be reached shortly after
the expiration of the time limit. All
four of the injured men bravely urg-
ed the engineer force to disregard
their injuries and keep the battleship
on her work. Under ten boilers 81
knots was maintained for the balance
OF the time and at 4 o'clock the
North Dakota steamed into this har-
Dor and sent the injured men ashore.
\. The defective tube was replaced
and arrangements were made to leave
at midnight for a "a hour run at
speed of 10 knots an hour.

FRISCO: TO have A
WIDE Open REGIME

San Francisco, CAL, Nov. 5.-The
dropping of the graft prosecutions
and the making of San Francisco the
widest open town in the country, will,
it is generally believed today, be the
speedy result of the election of P. H.
McCarty to the mayoralty and of
Charles Fickert to the county prose
cutorship.
1t is believed on all sides that the
mayor-elect has in mind the sporting
features in Paris, rather than its ar
tistic achievements.
1t is still being openly charged that
Fickert, the fusion candidate, who
defeated Francis ]. Heney, was back
ed by Patrick Calhoun, head of the
United Railroad Co.. who was recent
ly tried on a charge of bribery, the
jury disagreeing. The San Francisco
Post, which is bitterly opposed to the
graft prosecutions, supported Fickert.
These facts, in connection with
Fickert's statement today that he
"did not believe in the un-American
spy system that had been employed
by Heney to gather evidence in his
graft prosecutions, have convinced
a. large part of the public that ces-
sation of the fight against graft may
be looked for.
Jerome Bassitty, saloonkeeper.
was the leading campaign worker of
McCarty. Bassitty was also one of
the hackers of Eugene Schmidt, San
Francisco's former boodling mayor.
and it is now believed the same forces
that were behind Schmitz will be
found lined up with McCarty.
Bassitty has already said he ex-
pected the ''lid to be removed from
the city"

Prof. Monroe desired to make an
experiment on the recent attempts to
secure constitutional amendment In
Maryland requiring from voters the
ability to answer questions similar to
these.
Eighteen of the twenty-four mem

presidents full name and two knew
only his last name.
No one succeeded in giving the
full name of a justice of the United
