General R. G. Shaver is taking an ac-
tive part in making the Confederate Re-
union at Little Rock a success and has
received inquiries as to the probable
number who will come from Polk coun-
ty. lie says he knows about how
many old soldiers will 60, but is de-
sirous of getting an idea of the num-
Der OF others who will take ADVANTAGE
Of the reduced rates to attend the
biggest event of the kind ever held in
Arkansas.
He has received information to the
effect that special train will be run
from Texarkana to Little Rock, arriv-
ing at the encampment for breakfast
on the first day, May is.
He believes that this furnishes the
best way for Polk county people to 90
to Little Rock, they leaving Mena on
No. 3 on the 18th, reaching Texarkana
about 8 p. m, and from there on the
special.
In order to get better idea of the
accommodations that will be required,
the general requests The Star to sue-
gest that those who expect to 60 will
notify him of the fact at as early a
date as possible.

pclnmenss Alter sigaiag Bill for
htw Eighteenth Izdieial
District.

After sisaue the Whistingloa-Cock-
burn bill Yesterday creating The
Eighteenth Judicial district. BY taking
Garland coWg on the Seventh dis
trlct and Montgomery Of the Ninth
district, Governor Donagaey made
the three appointments made neces-
sary by the formation 81 the new dis
ttict. He appointed Judge J. B..
Wood as prosecuting attorney for the
new district, according TO his promise,
and also appointed Calvin Z Gotham
OF Hot Springs Judge Of The new dis
trict, and ] S. Utlsy Of 3 nton prose-
cutting attorney Of the Seventh dis
trict. judge Evans will remain Judge
OF the Seventh district. The plans to
put Polk county in the new district
were abandoned.
There was no contest for prosecute
Ing attorney, but three candidates
were out for Judge Of the new district.
The Garland County Bar Association
endorsed A. J Murphy for the new
judgeship The county officials and
the members Of the legislature, how
ever, were all in favor Of Judge Cot
ham, and since the governor knew
Judge Gotham intimately, while the
latter was attending college at Con-
way, the appointment fell to him.
Another very strong candidate was
Gibson Wit Of montgomery county,
who was put forward by his friends.
Mr.. Witt was also well known to the
governor, who stated yesterday that
he had great confidence in his ability
and integrity but said that it looked
as though the only thingfor him to do,
since Judge Gotham has such strong
was to make this APP
pointment as he did.
There was no opposition 10 either
Judge Wood Of Hot Springs or Mr..
Utley for their positions. The new
district, which win BE- known as the
Eighteenth, win be composed Of Car
land and Montgomery counties. This
will leave Hot Springs, Grant and Sa-
line counties in the Seventh and Little
River, Sewer. Howard, Pike and Polk
in the Ninth district.
The advocates Of the bill for Great
ing new district were unanimously
in favor Of providing a place for Judge
Wood, especially since opponents Of
the bin had intimated that the bill
was a subterfuge 70 put Judge Wood
out Of Office. is reported that adj
vocates of the bill obtained promise
from the governor 70 appoint Judge
Wood if the bill became a law, since
the Judges home is in Hot Springs
and he would not be eligible to retain
the Office in the Seventh if Garland
county was put in the new district.
Judge Evans home is IN the Seventh,
SO he remains judge Of that district.
