 Affair.

One of the newest picnics and ex- cursions planned for June is that of ten of the local railroad organiza- tions.
 Committees have been appointed from the different brotherhood lodg- os and meeting of these commit tees was held last Sunday night, when it was practically decided that Clarendon, Ark, would be the place for the picnic, providing that the town would build pavillions and make other arrangements for the accommo- dation of those who will go
 Another meeting of thescommittees will be held Sunday night April 24. At ths meeting committee will be sell ected to go to Clarendon and make proper arrangements. This commit tee will leave for Clarendon about April 27, but the picnic will not oc- cur until about June 20.

SAYS HIGH PRICE
 WILL CONTINUE P. P. Byrd Says Bumper Cotton Will Make No
 Difference.
WILL BRING 14 CENTS
Gives Out Statement at Little Rock and Talks Encouragingly
 of Outlook.

Little Rock, Ark, April 12-Even though Arkansas and the other states of the south should have a>@bumper cotton crop this season, P. P Byrd, of Pine Bluffs one of the leading tcot- ton men of the state, is of the belief that the pfice will remain above 12 cents The conditions have not been so favorable for q good crop in years as they afre today said Mir. Byrd while in the city Tuesday attending iobbers conventon,s"fo the farm CTS have had,pretty weather long enough to get their ground in con- dition, and a large per centage of the crop was planted in time to get the advantage of the rains.
 Much cotton is now up. If we have big crop I do not expect to see the price go below 12 and If cents, and if anything happens to ourtail the yield, the prices will be correspondingly high I do not look for cheap cotton again. Experiments with cotton picqers in my section of the state are still going on and there is a machine now perfected which the builders think will do the work, but there is no cotton to try it on. doubt very seriously if we will ever get a mechanical cotton picker which will do the work for the simple req son that all of the cotton does not open at the same time. If it did, the result would be easy, for we could thresh it, but with the top and bot tom cotton being about a month aaart, the mechanical cotton picker seerns almost hopeless.'

HOW VIM. CONLEY
 MET DEATH May Have Been Assaulted and Killed, But There Were No Witnesses.
THREAT WAS HEARD
Says One Man Threatened to Kill An- Other-Was in Charge Of
 Crew at Newport.

The Newport Independent has the following account of the mysterious Geath of William Conley a form s- Pine Bluffian whose jbodv was found on the railroad tracks near New2or:, Sunday. Mr. Conley has a sis:cr liv- ing this city and the body will be 1nterred here. The IndeEeldect | says:
 Early Sunday morning the dead body of William Conley, who was employed by construction company now filling in the Rock Island tres ties, was found on the railroad dump near the Iron Mountain-Ro Island intersection above this city
 Owing to certain suspicious circum- stances, an inquest was held by Es- quire John R Lotion Sunday morn- ing the verdict of the jury being that Conley came to his death by being struck with a blunt instrument. It
 was the opinion of the acting coron-
 CT as we'll as most of those who
 heard the evidence that Conley was
 struck by train. Physicians tes- tified that the wound across the back,
 running from the shoulder down to the waist line on the other side, had resulted in instantaneous death Conley's body was found west of the Mountain track and north of the
 Rock Island. One thing that excited suspicion was that the ground be- low indicated that he had fallen there
 and how he ever climbed half way
 up the dump is mystery.
 An old negro woman living near the Iron Mountain track testified that she overheard a conversation between two men walking on the track. One was heard to make the threat that
 he would kill the other if he lost his | job. This might have applied to
 Conley, as he was in charge of the Iconstruction crew While Conley's forehead was Scfatched and bruised, these 1njur-
 ies probably resulted when he struck
 the ground. Conley spent Saturday
 evening in Newport with a number of his fellow laborers and while they drank considerable cider, none of
 them thought that Conley was in- l toxicated.
 From letters found upon the dead
 mans person, it is thought that his
 home was Louisiana, Missouri and
 relatives in that city and also Pine Bluff were notified. Conley was feet 2 inches in height, weighed 185
 pounds was light conplected and
 about B years old. When killed he wore suit of overalls

BIG ACCOUNT IS D|SALL0WFD Judge Gould Turns Down Claims of Drs. Brunson.
 Johns and Wood.
HE GETS AN OPINION
Prosecuting Attorney Jones Holds Law Does Not Authorize
 Professional Fees.

County Judge James Gould yester- day disallowed claims of Drs. Asa Efunson, M c. Johns and R. P. | Woods, aggregating $1S70 which they filed against the county for yaccinat- Mg, fumigating and quarantining during the recent small pox scare in tfis county. Judge Gould's decis- ion was made after Prosecuting At torney w. D. Jones had furnished him with written opinion in which he holds that the law of 1909 does not authorize or justify the payment for professional services for vaccina- tion or for any treatment given in- dividuals infected. Judge Jones con- tends that the court has the power to fix the fees for such services, pro- vided the account is properly item- iZed.
 Judge Jones' opinion follows
 Judge James Gould, City. 1 Dear sir:-I have your favor ask inS my opinion as to the authority of the county court to allow claim filed by the Board of Health of Jeff ferson county for allowance. | think that the acts of 1909 paga 20, gives ample authority for the ai- lowance of claims for the suppress ion of any courageous or infectuoEs disease, but the law does not author ize or justify the payment for pro- fessional services for vaccination or for any treatment given individuals infected. take the law to meat that reasonable necessary expenses may be allowed and that the amount to be allowed is to be left to the court. I do not think that profess sional services, or the fact that pro- fessional men are employed to do the work, should enter into the question of the amount of allowance to be trade by you, because that would come in conflict with the prohibition of the law It is also the clear ln- tent of the law as I understand it, that all claims filed for this purpose shall be carefully itemized, showing the particular charge for each ser vice rendered, and that no claim shall be allowed, except upon the fl- ing Of such itemized account.
 Yours truly,
 w. D. JONES, Prosecuting Attorney. After receiving Judge Jones opln- icn Judge Gould addressed the follow ing note to J. H. Shelby, county aud probate court:
 J. H. Shelby, County Clerk,
 Construing the attached letter or the nrosecuting attorney as l do lna '''r- ties composing the County Boarl of Health have drawn more monA' th'n under the law they would be ent't.'d to for all services rendered, hence the account of
 Dr. Asa Brunson, $7S5.Oo; nr M. c. Johns, $40 %; Dr. R. P Wo"d' sG75.oO is disallowed.
