THE EXCESSIVE RAINS
ARE CAUSING DAMAGE

For several two or three and some
times greater number of showers
are a daily occurrence in this section,
and the rainfall has become so exces-
sive as to cause serious complaints
from Faulkner county farmers. The
rain, however, is not evenly distribut-
ed, very heavy showers often falling
in an area sometimes limited to only
a few square miles. The damage is
not confined to this section, the fol
lowing dispatch from Montgomery,
Ala, being one of many similar re-
ports appearing in the papers every
day:
Great danger to the cotton crop
from the continued rains is announc-
ed today by Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Wilkerson. With the crop late
anyway the water is teaching out the
fertilizers and the stalk is turning yel-
low.
"The lowlands are in bad shape, al
ready" says the commissioner, land
any more of it is going to bring enor-
nous loss.'

RAILROADS SEEK
FURTHER DELAY
Want THE Time EXTENDED
FOR TAKING REBUTTAL DEPO
SITIONS IN RATE LITI-
CATION.

Little Rock, July 1.--Col j. M.
Moore, special counsel for the Iron
Mountain and Cotton Belt railroads
has given the special counsel for the
tice that he will appear before Judge
Trieber in the federal court here Cat
urday morning and petition for an ex-
tension of the time for taking rebut-
tai depositions in behalf of the rail
road until October. 1t is supposed
the railroad attorney is to claim it
will take until that time to compile
the figures necessary to refute the
claims of the states counsel relative
to the income from intra and inter
state business.
The attorneys who represent the
state will resist the extension of time
to the railroads, alleging it would be
unfair to give so much time after
the state has presented its case, as it
would permit the railroad to hatcn up
such a tumble of figures there would
be no end to the investigation. 1t is
alleged that the railroads want the
matter passed for the summer in Or
der to give the attorneys vacation,
but the attorneys for the state are
particularly anxious to get the matter
out of the way, as General w. F. Kir-
by, one of the states attorneys, will
90 on the supreme court bench the
last of October, and some settlement
is desired before that time.

BIDS SUBMITTED ON
LIGHT PLANT BOILER

Representative of six boiler facto-

light plant committee of the city
council and submitted bids on $50
horse power high pressure boiler for
the local plant. If the council makes
the proper appropriation it is likely
that the bid considered best and low
est will be accepted, as the boilers now
in use are badly overloaded and would
probably be insufficient to furnish the
power through another season.

NEW PRESIDENT
OUTLINES PLANS
DIR. MILLAR'S STATEMENT
CHEERFULLY UNDERTAKES
WORK AS HEAD OF HEN
DIRK COLLEGE.

Under the heading "a Few Words
.'ersonal,' DR.. A. C. Millar, the new
president of Hendrix college, has a
statement briefly outlining his pur-
poses and plans in connection with his
new duties. He says:
interpreting my election to the
presidency of Hendrix college as a
clear call to duty, have accepted,
and now cheerfully undertake the
task imposed Knowing the burdens,
l could not seek, and the opportuni-
ties, could not refuse. Such work,
avoided to the point of peril, conscien-
tiously begun, becomes a labor of love-
The high standard reached under
President Anderson and his collea-
CUES must be maintained. The large
results of the endowment campaign
successfully managed by Commission
er James Thomas must be conserved.
Pushed without previous plans into
this field, | hope, after careful sur
vey of the situation, to present ma
tured program for the natural and
logical extension of our educational
activity.
LET those who profess friendship
and who acknowledge a debt of graft
opportunities to present it's claims
tude to Hendrix college, seek and use
and worth to the youth who should
be of our constituency. In no more
effective way can they make practical
demonstration of confidence in what
the college is and is trying to do.
In addition to good wishes we crave
active interest and service. Church
and state need men, strong, brave,
and of large, clear vision. My princi-
pal work shall be to promote and
maintain conditions conducive to the
making of such men. Such task is
a sacred trust and requires the help
of God and of good men. In this
work l expect the hearty cooperation
of Arkansas Methodsm of which
am. the servant.
81 count myself happy in having an
efficient faculty long identified with
the school, body of loyal and enthus-
iastic alumni, a board of experienced
and capable trustees, and especially
in having the continued cooperation
of Rev. James Thomas, who may be
absolutely relied upon to close up
all of the obligations involved in the
great endowment and debt-paying
movement.
"After my district conference, l ex-
pect to devote my whole time to the
promotion of the interests of the col
lege. During the summer l shall be
in the field, assisted by several stu
dent canvassers, and the correspond
ence will be in the care of Prof. w. E.
Hogan, secretary of the faculty at
Conway.
Il hereby acknowledge the many
cordial and helpful letters and words
from friends. The unusual press of
duties may deprive me of the pleas
ure of more direct reply.

indications That the Insurgents
Are Winning Repub-
Iican Party.

BEVERLY, Mass, August 15.-It is
again reported, on reliable authority,
that President Taft and his political
conferees plan realignment of Repub-
lican forces involving the elimination
of the leading standpatters, and pos
sibly of Ballinger also.
Taft is TO have a conference tomor-
row with Senator Crane Of Massachu-
sets. who is said to be the most intiu-
entail man in the senate, since the re-
tirement of Aldrich was announced. 1t
is believed that the results Of this con
ference viii be of great importance in
their effect on Republican policies
1t is stated on the best of authority
that the prospects are that Taft s con-
ference with Crane and others will lead
to administration opposition which will
practically end the power of Cannon
and Aldrich. Aldrich has announced
his retirement. but Cannon insists up
on fighting. Il is rumored that Taft is
likely to turn against him. and concede
to the insurgents their wish of ousting
him.
1t is understood that the President is
very DESTROYS of conciliating the West,
and that the CannonAldrich wing of
the party is specially unpopular in the
western States.
Taft, by granting the main points of
the insurgents fight, expects to har-
monte the Republican factions, leaving
out the Aldrich and Cannon men. This
is said to accord with the views of
Roosevelt, who has very cordial rela-
tons with some of the leading insur-
gents.

State Adopts Installment Plan.

The state will have to pay the bal ance it owes the state farm on the Gin stallment plan,' owing to the fact that the penitentiary fund, as well as the general revenue fund, is very low When w. H. Miller, agent for the Ur- quhart estate, appeared before the board and requested partial payment on the $45,000 still due on the farm, all of which is payable under an appropri- ation by the last legislature, there was a nasty inventory made, showing that even the $15,000 requested by the agent could not be paid now.
 It was finally decided to pay $3,750 now, an equal amount thirty days from now, another $3,750 sixty days hence and fourth installment ninety days in the future, making total of $15,000. Mir. Miller states that this well be satis- factory and that the estate will not em- barrass the board by asking for addi- tional payments before next fall.
 It was the general opinion of mem- bers of the board that a warrant for any amount that could not be met by funds now in the treasury, or that would be there by the time the warrant would be presented for collection, should not be issued.
The Green Forest tribune., 1910-03-18
Insurance Taxes Shy.

From taxes received so far on busi- ness done in Arkansas by insurance companies in 1909 it appears that the falling off in revenue from this source will probably not exceed $10,000.
 Last year the taxes amounted to $51,- S25, and with additional fees for agents license, annual filings, etc., the total reached something like $75,00O.
 Up to the present date the taxes re- ceived on 1909 insurance business amount to about $39,500, with several companies yet to report, so that the total will run $42,O00, in all probability The fees received for licenses for agents and annual filings by the companies will not vary perceptibly from that of last year. Already the amount received from this source approximates $1S,000, which, added to the taxes for the year, makes a total of about $57 ,500 received to rate.
 About TO life, fire and casualty con- panies have reported so far.

MAY IS IS PEACE DAY.
American Peace League Sending Out
 Programs for School Observance.

May IS will probably be very gen eraily observed throughout the schools of Arkansas as peace day, this being the date set apart by the American School Peace League for observance in tho schools of the country for the purpose of furthering the idea of settlement of all differences, national as well as other wise, by arbitration and not by force of arms.
 At the last meeting of the State Teachers Association Dr. Henry Smms Hartzog of Philadelphia, president of Ouachita Baptist College, was chosen president of the Arkansas Association of the American Peace League, and the idea of the league warmly endorsed by the 1,5OO teachers in attendance at the convention.
 It is expected that, in addition to the impetus to be given rhe movement in this state through the Boston headquar ters, from which provisional programs have already been forwarded to ths public schools, there will be special in terest worked up through President Hartzog and his associates.
