as inconspicuously as possible. Do not
have the strands all exactly the same

With The
Legislators
Agricultural School Bill Up

The House spent an entire day dis
cussing the Bellamy agricultural
school bill without having disposed of
the measure and leaving the bill still
in The same GoG0-rur position before
the house that it stood Saturday noon
when adjournment was taken over
Sunday. The entire day was spent
in considering and in most cases turn
ing down amendments to the bill, the
Bellamy forces having the better of
the battle as far as the amendments
were concerned. Toward the close of
the afternoon, however, after Mr..
DuLaney of Little River had introduce
ed a bill Identical to the one intro
duoed in the Senate by Cenator Glover
which provides for the establishment
of one school only, there were indica
lions of a shift to the opinion that
it would be best to establish one or
four schools. The apparent change
in opinion was marked by several
emphatic speeches which were made
at the close of the afternoon and the
reception of the sentiment expressed
in those speeches. A strenuous, STUB
bron fight waged the day through
by those opposing four schools snow
ed results, while the supporters OF
the r-school bill, tagged to an ex-
tent by fighting off amendments
throughout the morning and afternoon
sessions, showed less resistance to-
ward the last of the days tedious ses-
sion The Farmers Union was fire.
quently mentioned in the dis
cussion, those favoring the Bel
lamy bill backing their action by the
declaration that the bill was recon-
mended by the union, while on the
other hand. those opposing 1t fought
the measure on the ground that 1t
would be foolheardy to start by es-
tablishing four schools; that there
would not be enough students to at
tend more than one; that 1t would
be too costly and that one would
suffice 1t was also contended by Mr..
Glover of Hot Springs, who delivered
long speech at the close of the
session, for the substitute bill and
who declared that he was a member
Of the Farmers Union, that the Bel
lamy bill was only endorsed by 55
out of 10000 members of the organi-
xation.
Inc greater part or the Session was
spent in fighting over the location
OF the schools. an attempt being made
to provide that one of the schools
be established at Fayetteville in con-
nection with the agricultural expert
ment station. AS the bill now stands
1t does not designate any certain
place In any one OF the four districts
named. When first drawn it provided
that one of the schools be located at
Conway, where the State Normal
School is Many amendments at
tempting to reduce the appropriation
were also considered and defeated.

One of the most unique votes cast
in .he legislature in years was read
the other day in the House, in answer
to the name of Mr.. Brown of indie
pendence when the roll was called
for the vote on Mr.. Monroe's motion
TO put the bimonthly pay day bill back
on second reading. 1t was moved
that the bill be put on second read
ing and referred tc committee for
consideration. Mr. Brown objected
and his vote read as follows:
why send it off to get a fetter?
For they can bring out nothing better.
Let us get up and make law

ator Glover will probably ask that
additional copies of his agricultural

ceivevides for one agricultural school
and he maintains 1t is the one that
should receive favorable consideration.
