COAL MEN HOPE TO
 REACH AGREEMENT

Little Rock, April 20.-Coal oper- ators of western Arkansas, in writing to their representatives here, state that another meeting of the operators and miners will take place in Kansas City today, and it is hoped that some agreement will be reached at this meeting which will result in the mines being re-opened the first of the month. The operators stated in their letters there was plenty of coal to supply the trade for several months, and it would probably be well for the mines to re- main idle until the first of July, but they all wanted the contract signed as soon as possible in order to be sure the mines can start by July l and so the operators can begin booking or ders for fall delivery.

Smith are also avowed candidates. It is by no means certain that R. F. Mil wee will make the race on account of this being his first term in the house and his having much other work to be done. As Representative Little was one of the prohibition leaders last year and submitted to the house a liquor bill, it is probable that he will have the support of all the prohibit tionists, and if he does, that will in- sure his election, as the house is al- ways in favor of prohibition. Should Judge Milwee decide not to make the race the contest is expected to narrow down to fight for blood between Lit tie and Going.

LEGISLATIVE RACES
 ARE OPENING UP
HOUSE AND SENATE HEEDS
ARE BEING DISCUSSED BY MEMBERS OF THE NEXT
 GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Little Rock, April 20.-Nearly ev- cry day members of the next senate or house meet in Little Rock to discuss the race for speaker and president of the house and senate, respectively, and the general impression is that the senate will produce a dark horse which will beat out either of the men now running for the presidency. Both sides, the prohibitionists anl local op- tionists are claiming a majority in the senate, and while the latter is proba- bly in control, yet the most of these men are not radical on the subject and cannot be depended upon to oppose all sorts of prohibition measures. The prohibition faction will back John P. Logan of Grannis for president and the local optionists will be split be- tween John H. Holland of Greenwood and Kemp Toney of Pine Bluff, should both of these men insist on staying in the race. This would probably mean the election of Logan, but for the dark horse proposition, and new member of the senate here yesterday stated the dark horse could be de- pended on.
 In the house the principal candi- dates are R. F. Milwee of Clarendon, Clyde Going of Jonesboro and Repre- sentative Little of Osceola. Abner Hurst of Fayetteville, Jeff Parker of Stephens and w. A. Black of Fort

water was taken from the river and

fair crops. The following year an

1t will be noted that in the year
1908 the system OF bringing milk to
the creamery was changed to cream.
Under the old method the whole
product was sent to the creamery
where separation was made and the
skinned milk was then returned To
the farm. However, this was expen
sive to both the creamery and the
farmer. To one it necesssitated the
running of expensive machinery and
the heating OF the skinned milk in
the summer moths in order that the
milk would not sour before il could be
got home and fed to calves. To the
other it necessitated hauling heavy
loads to the creamery and CORES

THE STATES FINANCES,

According to the figures of State
Treasurer Edwards, if all goes we'll
the State will turn the year with a
balance of from $4,000 to 100000 in
stead Of the discouraging deficit which
was faced two years ago. At the end
Of November there were warrants due
and outstanding amounting, in round
numbers, to $35O,0OO, since which time
$1S4,040.23 has been retired, which in.
cludes $97,623.33 of pension funds,
while there is due into the treasury
something like $3.50, 900 cash from the
sales Of State cotton, and this will, it
is estimated, throw the balance to the
right side of the ledger. The figures
given are approximate, but conserv-
atively estimated they are correct. and
the actual cash balance will substan-
tiate them.-Moss Point Advertiser.
