PRESS ASSOCIATION
 OFF ON JAUNT
Newspaper Men Left Little Rock Yes. terday On Trip Over the State
 Travelling on Special.

Little Rock, Ark, July 1S.-The an- nual midsummer excursion of the Arkansas Press Association left here this morning over the Rock Island in special train, to tour Eastern and Southeastern Arkansas for the bal ance of the week There were about sixty in the party that left here, and it was expected that at least forty more would join them along the route East of here. The party will spend tonight at Stuttgart, Wednesday night at Helena, Thursday night at Cros. sett, Friday night at Monticello, and probably Saturday night at Hot Springs. Hon. J. L. Wadley, secre- tary of state Fair Association, ar rived yesterday to join the excursion, and to urge upon the members the importance of visiting the Valley of Vapors before their return. This was not included in their original itiner- a,-y, but it met with considerable fa- vor among members of the commit tee, and the invitation will doubtless be accepted. The Marianna band will accompany the party to Helena.

Portuauese and Goldfish.

It Is an interesting fact that the fish ermen of northern Portugal started and developed the fishing industry on the banks" off the northern. coast of America, and, though they now send fewer ships, their taste for salt cod from Newfoundland is unabated-in fact. 1t is national Portuguese dain ty, It Is found in every little grocery shop, hard and brown as a board. A number of Portuguese have made their home on the islands to the south ot the mainland of Massachusetts. and there the dark eyes of the Ibegiap maiden, raven locks and a certain pie tnresque element in dress are not ia frequent. This connection with Por tugal dates back many years, the ships of Marthas Vineyard bridging the distance over sea and returning with Portuguese crews.--Exchange,

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs law in it's relation to Prepared Medicines, does not refer to such standard medicines as Foley s Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of ingredients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the remedial agents for the diseases they gre intended to counteract. For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
 has been a standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for children a1d for grown persons, and it retains today it's pre-eminence above all other preparations of it's kind. Foley Kidney Pill are equally effective and meritorious. w L. Dewoody & Co.,.

CONDEMNED MAN
 GETS AN APPEAL

Little Rock, Ark, July 1S-There will be no legal execution at Helena next Friday. July 21. The negro, Sylvester Thomas, who had been sen tened to hang on that date has been granted an appeal by the Supreme Court, and supersedeas issued. He had been convicted of assault upon Mrs. Fannie Lendley, an estimable white woman, who resides with her husband on the Carter planta tion near Marvel. His alleged victim is over so years old, and he is 30 the crime being one of the most atrocious ever committed iii the county. It is claimed, however, in the petition for appeal, that the evidence was wholly circumstantial. consisting chiefly of tracking him by his shoes. These shoes were found in trash heap in a corner of the negro's yard

Exact Thomaa.

Thomas Hoar. the devoted servan, upon whom Gilbert White, the English naturalist. depended to carry out his garden plans and to look after his comfort in many ways, was noted for his exactness. Mir. H. c. Shelley, in "Gubert White and Selborne." gives an amusing illustration.
 There was one occasion when Thom- ss came to report, Please, sir, I've been and broke a glass;"
 Broke a glass. Thomas! How did you do that?"
 "I'll show you, sir" he reJoined as he disappeared for moment. Returning with a glass in his hand. he let 1t fall on the floor, remarking:
 "That's how I broke 1t. sir"
 "There, go along, Thomas; you are . great fooi." said his master, adding to himself, "and was as great one for asking such foolish question"

Fate of Portulal's Homer.

''The Lusiad" Is one of the noblest records ever written of national glory and success. Camoens, its gifted au- thor. determined to do for Portugal what Homer had done for Greece. The great poem was written in the six teenth century. which has been called the heroic age of Portugal, and It's main feature is the rounding of the Cape of Good Hope by Vasco da Cana while a most Interesting episode Is the crowning after death of Inez de Castro as queen of Portugal "The Lusiad" took its name from Lusius. who was said to have founded Lisbon It's author was born about 1920, and his career, which began brilliantly was blighted by tho death of a broken heart of the lady of his love. for whose sake he was banisbed from the land He wrote "The Lusiad'' in his banish- ment and was recalled in 1571. losing on the way all his property except his poem Pensioned at first by the king, this great epic poet of Portugal died in great poverty in 1870, when his patron was also dead.

0ID HEALTH BILL
 MORE VALUABLE
New Board of Health Not Signed and Copy Was Defective-NeW
 Board Named.

Little Rock, Ark, July 1S.-The Board of Health act passed by the last Legislature was never signed and therefore did not become a law. There was House committee ln which the Senate concurred. The original bill was then lost in some manner, and the enrolling committee enrolled a copy which was supposed to be correct. It was discovered, however, a few days ago, that the House amendment to Section 10 was not included in the copy, and that the enrolled bill signed by President Toney, Speaker Milwee and Governor Donaghey was not really the bill as 1t was passed.
 A meeting of the newly appointed Board, named by the Governor July 10. was called for yesterday, and 1t was decided to make no effort to act under the supposed new act. Ali per sons interested had acted in good faith. and there was no sharp "prac- tices whatever in the approval or the faulty act, but it was recognized by the Board and by the governor that It was fatally deficient. Consequently a new board of six was appointed unde1 the old act, instead of the board ol seven under the new act. Drs. A. J. Vance, of Harrison, and D. K. Row land, of Fl Dorado, were dropped from these recently appointed, and pr. T.. P. Runyan, of Little Rock, add ed to the list. the Board, as organi7- ed, consisting of the following; pr Robert l..

be set aside for the college educa-
tion of young George Myers

in Tenafly, n. J., with his mother.
who is now Mrs. Coppell. Every
day he comes into school to this
definite Ideas as to what he will
do with the money in question or
to what college he will go.
Perhaps the magnitude OF the
sum appalls him. At any rate, if
he appropriates his income after the
manner of the average COLLEGE
youth he will have n formidable
task before him.
| 1t would be puZzling to decide
how many bulldogs, frat" pins,
banjos, tennis raquets, golf sticks,
ponies, autos and fancy waistcoats
he could sport on his 100000 a
year.
There is $417.58 which stands
out so lonely at the end of the
$4O5, 900, which would pay for tut
ton, books and board for one year.
and the interest on the larger sum
would afford generous support for
the remaining three years and still
have the principal intact.
What can the poor boy do? He
can buy an auto for $4,000. pay
! $4,000 for a bulldog, pay $4,000
year for clothes. $1,000 for his
rooms and $4,000 for his incidentals
and then he will have $4,000 a year
left.
Young Mr.. Church's schedule
when he comes to make it out, will
be interesting.

PUT POISON IN COFFEE.
Little Negro Girl Makes Startling
Administrations Dead

Darlington, April s. - Special:
Coroner ]. II. Kelley held an in
quest yesterday over the dead body
Of Jane Jeffrey, who died, accord
ing to the verdict of the jury, from
poison administered by Fannie
Cooper, her niece, girl about nine
years old.
Simon Jeffrey and his family were
taken violently i'll and his wife
died, and at the inquest Fannie
Cooper, who lived with the family,
testified that she put some rough
on rats in the coffee; that she put
ii in there because she knew it was
poison and wanted to kill her aunt.
She said her reason for wanting to
do her aunt harm was because,
while all the other members of the
household were permitted to sit at
the table and take their meals. she
was required TO sit on the floor
while eating. She said, too, that
Il few days before that her aunt had
ordered her to catch a black chick
en- that she intended to kill for dim
ner, and that she ran and ran the
little chicken but failed to catch
il as it flew off into the woods,
ANA that because she failed to catch
the chicken her aunt gave "a most
terrible fllogging."
Several members of the family
have been. and are now, suffering
agony from the poison and it is
said that Cooper himself is still
quite ill., The girl is under sur
veilance while the matter is being
taken up with Judge Shipp. All
the parties are colOred.
