Dover D. Holmes, For Five Years in the Postal Service, Leaves City
 to Avoid Trouble.

Dover D. Holmes, 9 years old, a negro for five years mail carrier at the Pine Bluff Postoffice, barely escaped being roughly handled by mob Friday night and had it not been for the precautions taken by Postmaster F. c. Furth serious trouble might have resulted Holmes has since been advised to resign, which he did, and he and his wife have left the city.
 Friday afternoon Postmaster Furth learned that there was consider able feeling against Holmes in the Southwestern part of the city, where he delivers mail daily. It was charged that Holmes had visited the home of MT. King, a son of Coun- ty Road and Bridge Commissioner. John B. King and while there Mir. Kings young wife asked for some stamps, which she intended to pur- chase from the postman. Mr. King was absent from the home and
  Holmes is reported to have said "All right, honey" in reply to the young Woman's request. She slammed the door in the negro's face. She then reported the negro's insolence to her husband. who became angered and told several friends of the negro's familiarity. They talked the mat ter over and decided, 1t is stated, and whip him. It was then that Postmaster Furth learned of the in- cident. He hired a buggy and hur- ried over the route in an effort to find Holmes, who was then deliver ing mail. He found him and took him to the Federal building. He questioned the negro, who strongly denied the charge. The negro's con- fiicting statements created suspicion and Postmaster Furth made a furth- CT investigation and finally conclud- ed that Holmes had been insolent.
 There was much talk about mob violence and Postmaster Furth kept the negro secreted in the Federal building over night. The next morn- ing he advised Holmes to resign and Holmes, fearing further trouble, quit his job and he and his wife left tne city
 Holmes has been succeeded by Ar thur Knight, negro postman who was formerly in the Postal Service here. Previous to last Friday Holmes has always enjoyed good reguta-

COUSART DISTRICT 2 HAS BEEN COMPLETED
Great Work Was-Planned By County Judge Jamss Gould d\and is Work
 Hg Successfully.

The csusgft Drainage| District, the Qargest project of it's kind ever at tempted in this section, has been eompleted' and is now in operation, with tell ing results. The new drain age canal is twenty eight miles long and begins near Fairfield, in this county, and extends to Deep Bayou
 in Lii ncoln county, into which it's empties. The canal was built at a cost of s1o0,o0o and about twenty thousan nd acres of fine farm lands nave been reclaimed. The width of the capal, at it's mouth, is 55 feet, with a fall of one foot to the mile.
 The ditch was constructed by W. E. Ayres, of Memphis, an experience ed drainage man. To County Judge James Gould, is known throughout the state as one of the most pro- gressive and public spirited men in Arkansas, being the originator of the good roads movement in this state, the property owners in the district owe much for the success of the un- dertaking. He was the prime nov CT in the district and aided mater ially in it's formation and final com pletion. Attorney w. F. Coleman of this city, drew the bill for the dis trict. A. M. Barrow, is president, R. S. Cherry, secretary; w. c. Hud- son, treasurer and c. P. Gould, the other commissioner. The officers served the district without compen- sation and the bonds were sold for 9S. Under the bill the contractor took the bonds, after the commits sioners were unable to dispose of them.

 one of the most promising speakers of the school, and on this occasion did great credit to himself by bril- liant effort in the most convincina tones and discussion of the subject that might only be gleaned by care ful study and the most eloquent lan- guage. The feature of the evening was the speech by Eugene Smith who followed Mr. Mccain, as second on the negative side. Mir. Smith is not only the first debater in his school at Little Rock, but is known as state wide orator of great abil- ity for young man of his age. He has commanding voice and every thing that goes to make a magnetic and forceful speaker. His talk was highly interesting and when his time of speaking was up he was easily seen to be the most prominent speak CT of the occasion and practically a winner for his school.
 The program concluded with an in strumental selection, 'The Manzinita Waltzes', by Miss Emma Sorrells The debate furnished one of the best arguments that ever rang through the halls of the High School and can be highly praised as a beginning of the annual Tri-High School debating contest. The pupils who took part discussed the subject on which they had been studying, in it's every phrase The fine effort of every speaker was shown by the audience in it's liberal applause.
 On the stage with MT. Brewster were seated the participants in~~tfre program. One feature ofgthe stage was the 'sBillikin" which the Little Rock debaters placed upon the table in full view, of course bringing them good luck. The judges of the de- bate were /Rev. Forney Hutchenson of Hot Syringe; Rev. French Thomp- son, Hot Springs and Chas. Wiley of Memphis. The judges held seats in the audience. After the debate they retired from the auditorium ''to reach a verdict. They remained out for quite a while, an on re-entering Rev. Thompson, state that he never found a debate in which more weigh ing" was required flor passing his opinioh< The judges stated that they had carefu11y studied the contest and decided that slight preference they believed was justly due the Little Rockians. This was received with applause from the Pine Bluff audi ence, because they believed the judg- ment had been fair, but the close ness of the decision gave high hopes of conquest for the local High School in the debate next year. An other feature which added to the de- feated ones was the fact that the Lit tie Rock school representatives were both members of the Senior Class of their school, while both local repre- sentatives were from the Junior Class.
 Eugene Smith, representative of the Little Rock High School, is a very talented young orator, and be- sides a number of honors accorded him in his home school he has on one occasion been the recipient of a medal in the state oratorical contest held in Little Rock annually.
 The debaters of the local school who spoke last evening, although in- experienced in the '.art of the rost- rum." are highly deserving of praise for the manner in which they car ried out their arguments.
 After the debate the home of Mr. and Mrs G. H. Martin was the scene of a merry gathering of the students
