A VALUABLE ISSUE.

This issue Of the News is prepared
especially for our subscribers on the
farm, but it should be of no less in
terest to every business man in Hat.
tiesburg for the News feels sure that
the permanent prosperity of Hates
burg depends on agriculture and that
being the case every business man
should be familiar with agricultural
conditions. What every southern
state needs now is to educate is az
ricultural population for agricultural
purposes, Not only educate them to
produce the most cotton. corn and
other staple crops that is possible on
an acre of ground but at the same
time teach them how they can have
the most comforts and conveniences
ON the farm so that there will be more
of a preference for the vocation OF
farming. There should be bath rooms
and sanitary comforts on the farm
as well as in the city. There shouiu
he beautiful lawns and attractive
houses ON The farm as well as In the
city. The country school house snoulo
no the most attractive place in the
world and then the country road
should pe as good as the city pave
ment.

THE HOUSE.

After the House convened Tuesday
Mr. Parks of Lafayette presented the
announcement of the appointment OF
Mr.. Kerwin of Jefferson as the new
member of the House to succeed Mr..
Tucker, resigned. Mr.. Kerwin was
sworn in and made short state
ment relative to his admittance to
the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Davis of Columbia called up
House Bill No Sc, of which he is the
author, providing for the regulation
of the practice in the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Davis spoke in favor of the bill,
arguing that in cases of capital crime
the courts are often called upon to
appoint counsel for the defense, the
defendant frequently being unable to
employ counsel, and that as result
the counsel may or may not do as
much for his client under present
laws as he would If employed by a
rich client. Mr.. Shafer of Crittenden
also spoke in favor of the bill which
passed.
A message was received from Gov
ernor Donaghey urging action against
the present convict lease system
Early action in this matter seems as
sured.
A resolution to extend an invita-
tion to DR.. S. A. Knapp, in charge oil
the government cooperative farm
demonstration work in the South,
who is in Little Rock, to address the
House in the House chamber, was
passed. The House also appointed
committee to formally invite Dr.
Knapp to deliver the address.
The House defeated the Martin bill
authorizing school districts to exer-
else the power of eminent domain,
although a hard fight was made to
pass the bill. Notice was given that,
a motion would be made to reconsid-
er the vote by which the bill was
defeated
Senator Pindall of Desha made
fight on the floor of the Senate Tues
day afternoon for baseball-the Amer
lean game. The senator not only
moved to have the Senate adjourn
at 3 o'clock SO the senators could
attend the game, but said that he
for one would attend, no matter what
happened. The senator made good
his word. He not only attended the
game, but he had a street car in wait
ing for those of the Senate who
wanted to attend the game, and the
senator from Desha paid the freight.

SENATE CONSIDERS ADJOURN.
MENT ON MAY I IN ORDER

ARKANSAS HAS $4,000
Involved in the Decsion-Governor'
Message Favors Anti-convict
Lease Measure.

The Senate received a message
from the governor on Tuesday urg-
ing the passage of bill against the
leasing or hiring of state convicts.
He emphasized what he had said in
his message to the General Assembly
when he was inducted into Office
that he was absolutely opposed to the
convict lease system and could not
ratify what the penitentiary board had
done
Right after the reading of the mes
sage resolution was introduced by
Senators Toney and Yopp, providing
that all general appropriation bills be
given the right of way in the Senate
and that, the House eoncurring, the
Legislature adjourn sine die on May l..
Senator Simms of Ghicot moved
to strike from the resolution all the
words pertaining to the time of ad-
journment.
In support of his own resolution
and against the amendment Senator
Toney said the state is facing def
cit and that If the legislature remain
ed in session day after day each leg
islator drawing a per diem of $6, the
taxpayers of the state would not like
it. He said it appeared evident that
the state will be forced on a scrip
basis and that as member of the
legislature he wanted to be able 10
say that the legislature had at least
adjourned in time to save the taxpay-
ers some $4,000 or $4,000.
The most heated argument against
the Toney resolution was made by
Senator Rowland of Boone. He
charged the Senate had not worked
as hard as 1t should. He said the
practice of adjourning at noon on Fri
day until Monday morning was bad
and that no man in his private bust
ness would permit an employe of his
TO stop at noon on Friday until Mon
day morning and then draw the pay
for the days he failed to work. The
measure was placed for later con
sfderation.

mission of an amendment, to the eff
feet that all cotton textile manufac-
turers in Arkansas shall be exempt
from taxation for the next ten years,
was finally made a special order of

CINCINNATI, Jan. s.-J. Cal Ewing,
president of the Pacific Coast league.
nearly sold his plant in Los Angeles
on the trip here from the southern
California metropolis.
Ewing, on his way TO Cincinnati, told
the story of what might have been a
big baseball deal. While sitting alone
in the smoking section of the sleeper
Ewing was joined by bright looking
gentleman. The stranger proved most
affable and companionable, and the
baseball magnate under some skillful
questioning felt glad to tell his new
friend great deal about his busi-
ness.
Strange enough" the stranger told
him, he having introduced himself as
J. p Morgan, II always have been
in the baseball business, and nothing
1 have thought time and again would
please me better than to own a first
class plant and ripping good team
of players. What, for instance, would
you value your plant at at the present
time?"
Ewing began to think.
Mr. Ewing, l want to make a prop
osition !oSi to you" Morgan tinally said.
TO buy you out completely please set
me a figure"
This proposition was fairly stagger-
ing to Ewing and he fell to figuring.
Finally between them they got down
TO a tangible basis.
Il would have TO put figure of hall
a million dollars on the property, and,
OF course, would expect you to take
off my hands all the contracts now un-
expired and step into the business just
as it stands"
Ewing figured this would cause some
hesitancy on the part of the STRANGER
Not so, however. I'll accept your fig
ures, Mr. Ewing, and when we get
to Chicago tomorrow l will close the
deal with you," the stranger said
The conversation was Interrupted at
that stage by the entrance of ssMr.

Ewing that, the proposed purchaser
