FARMERS SCHOOLS.
II Is Quite Probable That The Agricultnr.
al Schools Will Be Built.

The interest Of farm ers
throughout Arkansas is now
largely centered in the four new
agricultural schools that are to
be built in the state under ono Of
the laws enacted by the recent
legislature. Some who have
been lavoring the establishment
Of those schools have been de-.
pressed by tho knowledge that
the state is in q financial dis
tress, with but little prospect Of
relief for some time, but the gov.
ernor yesterday indicated that no
would appoint boards which will
locate and build the schools as
soon as possible and left the i'm.
preston that he intended that
work be commenced as soon as
possible after the appointment Of
the boards. The four agricul.
tural schools were q hobby Of the
governor. He talked il In his
campaign and sot 1t forth in a
prominent position in his mes-
sage TO the legislature. II is
generally believed that the gov
ornor will take every step posi-.
bio TO bring about tho establish
ment Of the four schools. Al
though the law providing for the
schools appropriates 100000,
not oil tho amount will DO ro-
quirea for some time, at least
and II 10 argued that the state
may be In much better finaneia
condition by the time tho bulk Of
the money appropriated for The
schools 10 needed.
The first step to DO taker
toward the establishment of The
schools will be the appointment
Of four boards Of trustees, one
Tor each institution. These
boards will be appointed by the
governor within tho next two
months.

The legislature of Tennessee

There is nothing that keeps
this section of Arkansas in the
background and retards its prog

road question is the most impor-

the people today. With good
roads North Arkansas will de.

such frightful public highways
as exist at present.

President Taft is pursuing a

South--aad failed. Taft is a

The contest will be a strenuous affair at 96 holes. As both players are near the top of their game a competition of uncommon interest seems likely.
 This afternoon Travis again won from his old rival, Findlay S Douglas in the semi-fnals by 3 up and to go The first two holes were halved Douglas got the third to par 4 The fourth and fifth were halved. Travis squared the match by getting the sixth par for the five and also won the seventh by the same showing. The eighth and ninth were halved which left Travis one up at the turn. He went out in 3S only one stroke in excess of the card allow ance The match was squared on the tenth, the eleventh being halved- Travis cut par half a stroke on the twelfth and a full stroke on the thirteenth, well niab stealing both holes. Douglas was two strokes higher on the twelfth The fourteenth and fifteenth were halved- The sixteenth ended the struggle Both over ran the cup but Douglas being shortest over played furthest and so failed 10 hole out while Travis got down his putt

 Championship
EDRINGTON AND KNOWLES
 IN SPECTACULAR BOUT
Oliver Has No Trouble Trouncina Valiant Chattanooga Entrant-ln IS Hole Handicap Mallory
 Wins Cup.

Memphis May 2S-Jack Burlington of Memphis and George c. Oliver of Bir- mingham will meet in the finals for the Southern golf championship association at the Memphis Country club.
 Edrington playing the most spectacular game ever seen in a southern tourna- ment, defeated Ellis Knowles of Pensa- socal, the favorite, in a brilliant S6-hole match today.
 The score was 1 up, Burlington whining the thirty-sixth hole and taking the lead for the only time during the match. In the other semi-fina1 match Oliver defeated w. A. Gaines of Chattanooga by z up and 6 to play.
 The Burlington Knowles watch was a sizzler from start to finish and was close ly followed by the largest and most fashionable gallery of the tournament Edringtons golf was marvellous and it was his nerve and gameness that enabled him to win the watch.
 Burlington won the sixteenth hole in the afternoon play and made the score even all for the first time in the en- tire match The seventeenth was halved and the struggle for the last hole start ed with all even. Both men made good drives and their brassies carried well. On his approach Burlington laid the ball by the hole, while Knowles shot into the group of spectators at the far end of the green. Burlington missed his first putt and Knowles ball hit the cup on a 3O- foot putt, but bounded out. Edring- ton then holed an easy one and won the match.
 The four minor flights were reduced to the finals, which will be played to- morrow at S6 holes. The results:
 First flight:
 R. G. Morrow of Memphis defeated Bryan Heard of Houston, up and 8 to play.
 J. H. Doughty of Memphis defeated Percy Galbreath of Memphis, up and 2 to play.
 Second flight:
 J. A. Selden of Macon defeated E. L. Brown of Birmingham, up and 2 to play
