Checks For Any Snm Lawful.

Several weeks ago q rumor that at the last session of Congress an act was passed making it unlawful for a person to issue a check for a sum less than $1 gained circula- tion in Little Rock. The story was elaborated on and wonder was expressed that the bill slipped" through Congress.
 The fact is. it was explained by Powell Clayton. assistant United States district attorney. that a law on the subject has been on the fed eraI statutes since 1882 and that ! it does not prohibit the issuing oi checks in any amount one cent if desired. The act was simply eer- tified at the last session of Con- gress.
 The act provides that no check which is intended to circulate as money shall be issued for sum less than $1. This has been in terpreted by the courts to mean that a firm,individual or corporation cannot issue an obligation of the sort and redeem it n cash. For instance, banking concern could not issue it's note redeemable in cash and to be used as circula- ting medium for money, for a sum less than $l.
 The courts have expressly held that there is nothing in the act to prevent similar obligations being issued that are redeemable in mer- chandise.
 The rumor about the new law has reached some of the country banks and they are making in- quiries. The new law, however has nothing to do with business that is carried on through the med ium of a check.-Gazette.

being a professor in the University. superintendent of the Department of Farmers Institute. president of the State Farmers Union and president of the Arkansas State Fair Association. As the head of the latter organization, MT. Cole has already advanced several orig inal ideas. which. if carried out, cannot fail to put the Arkansas State Fair in the front rank of in dustrial expositions and cause our sister states to sit up and take notice.
 One of his plans, as outlined by him, when he accepted the presi- dency was broadening the scope of the fair by creating a more gen. eral statewide interest. At the same time he will be enabled there by to successfully finance the fair until such time as the legislature make an appropriation for it's sup port. The plan is to send a repre- sentative to various sections of the State to encourage farmers and producers generally to prepare ex- hibits for the coming fair, which will be'held at Hot Springs Octo- Der lO-l5 inclusive; and to place a sufficient amount of the capital stoc< of the association to carry the project through. To perform this work President Cole has ap- pointed J. A. Russey of Hot Springs. who has been identified with the State Fair ever since it's inception, serving on the board of directors and as a member of the finance committee. Mir Russey will shortly begin tour of the State.

SAM BlAIOCK MURDERED.
Shot by Station Agent at Riverton, Ia. With
 out Warning.

Sam Blalock, formerly sec tion foreman on the E. & B. Ky. at Strong. Lapile and Felsenthal and also in charge of extra gangs on 1t, but later roadmaster on the Iron Mountain between Clarks and Mer Rouge, was shot and fatally wounded at Riverton early last Friday morning by s. J. Byrne, station agent at that place. The trouble occurred just as north bound passenger train No. lO6 stopped at the depot. Blalock. who was on the train. stepped off on the platform beside the condue- tor and no sooner had he alighted than he was fired on by Byrne who used a shot gun loaded with squir- rel shot. the load almost tearing away the shoulder. One barrel of the gun snapped and as a result only one shot was fired. this being at close range. There is no known cause for the shooting and wit nesses to the affair declare it was absolutely unprovoked. It is said that the trouble was caused by Blalock reporting the agent for some act several weeks ago. but this could not be confirmed as the railroad officials seen say they have no knowledge of the affair outside of the bare facts of the killing. Sheriff w c. Welch, of Caldwell parish. who had boarded the train at Columbia en route to Monroe. immediately placed Byrne under arrest and returned with him to Columbia where he was placed in1 jail.
 Blalock's wound was dressed at Monroe and he was taken to Little ROCK and placed Tn the company s emergency hospital. where an op-| eration was performed in hopes of saving his life, but he died at l o'clock Sunday morning. His re- mains were taken to Monroe for interment.
 Local employees of the Iron Mountain, from the highest officials down. speak in no unmistakable terms concerning the shooting, which they regard as a premedi- tated murder. A brother of s. j. Byrne, the agent, was also present with a Winchester rifle and it is said prevented any interference while Byrne shot down the un- armed and unWarned roadmaster. He is confined in the Caldwell jail with the agent who did the shoot ing. It is said that several other employees of the Iron Mountain have at different times been threatened with death by the agent because of disagreements. Byrne is married and has a baby about three weeks old.
 It is reported that fund is be- ing raised by the local employees of the Iron Mountain to vigorously prosecute the case, which will be heard as soon as court meets at Columbia.

These two sentences comprise the sub.
stance of report current in Washing.
ton today. This report, to state 1t di.
rectly, was that while there may have
been no recent direct communication
between the two mon, President Taft
and former President Roosevelt have
been kept In touch with each other by
means Of mutual friends. Neither con
firmation nor denial was to be had at
the White House.
II is known that Senator Root, who

hunter was In the African jungle. II
also Is known that william Loeb, Jr.,

tary, now collector OF cusoms at New
York, has maintained communication
with Colonel Roosevelt, both by letter
and cablegram. Mr.. Loeb has been q
frequent visitor at the White House OF
late and has been on friendly terms
with President Taft.
These incidents, Il La believed, have
been largely responsible for the story
that Is now current and for ths state
ment that President Taft reads with
eomplaecncy the report that no has
"lost Mr.. Roosevelt friendship and
that the former president would not
be adverse TO having his name used as
a candidate against Mr.. Taft.
