Do via reached New York yesterday. but
hc IL not one Of that statesman warmcst
admirers. The visitor is a X Williams
of Little Rock
MIR Williams is in the insurance blIsi-
ness. and lac II a typs Of the modern South
eFn business man. The Legislature al
most put him out OF business a few years
ago when Il declared war agRin insur-
ancs companies. but ~ IL recovered its
reason at a subsequent session the in
suTance business now goes on as formerly
Mr.. Williams has lived in Arkansas All
his life and went through the reconstruc-
ton period.

In"nt 81 the STAG said Mr. Williams ~
IN" lmpsrin yesterday -'rh. rice Ia
dtstry is attracting particular attention.
-Four years ago nOt a ErCin Of rico was
grown In the State. Last year the output
appropriated 2.OnO.OG0 bushels. la Ga.

Congress the back townships have not
been heard from; but JET has committed
pOlit zeal suicide 80 many times and come
to life again that this last occasion. I
think. will not prov" fatal. Ia fact
don't believe IL will have much effect.
The q, neral opinion in Littlc Rock Is that
he made the statement about expecting
a bag fee only in a spirit OF boastfulDess

AT the same time ell the business
centres Of the State realize that a great
deal Of harm is done Arkansas in Congress
and in the country At large by such mis-
