HIGH WATER MAY STOP ROAD WORK
Building of Railroad Between Stutt- eart and England Being Hndered.

Stuttgart.-Unless the waters of the Bayou Meto subside rapidly with in the next few weeks, the compile tion of the Central Arkansas & East ern railroad between this city and England may be delayed until after the winter months have passed. Rains have hampered the contractors on this road ever since activities began last May, and several times the forces have been compelled to suspend work for several days. The overflow lands along the bayou, near McGreg- or, are covered with water, which makes the driving of piling and grad ing on that part of the line unusually slow and tedious, and an added rise in the stream may mean suspension of work altogether.
 The line running north through Fairmount and Foster is being rap idly built. All the grading has been done between Stuttgart and Foster and steel is being laid at the rate of about a mile per day.

General Revenue Fund Is Low.

When the state gets through pay ing it's current bills for the month there will be about $100,000 in the general revenue fund for the support of the government during the period between this and tax gathering time.

Few bills have been paid in the va rious institutions governed by the boards, as no board meetings have been held yet this month, The penl- tentiary and state charitable boards will meet shortly, however. The above approximate figure of $100,000 makes all allowance for the current bills of these institutions.
