DEMONSTRATION
BILL ATTACKED
OPPOSED IN THE SENATE
CONSTITUTIONALITY is RAILS
ED AGAINST MARTIN
BILL.

Little Rock, Feb. lis it constitu-
tionsl for the state to make appro-
priations, or authorize the counties to
make appropriations for the purpose
of assisting the general government
in carrying on the farm demonstra-
ton work in the various counties?
That is the question which grave con-
stitutional lawyers and some profess
ing little knowledge of the law, ar
gued at considerable length in the
senate Tuesday afternoon, without ar
irving at any definite decision. The
bill comes from the house and author
ICES quorum courts to make appropri-
ations for carrying on the work of
the farm demonstrators. Senator
White opposed it. Senator Rodgers
of Howard declared it violation of
the constitution for county to make
such appropriations. Senator Watson
declared that it was not in conflict
with the constitution, and that it
would help the farmers who are the
foundation of prosperity Senator
Clerget spoke for it.
Senator Covington declared that in
his opinion the proposed levy would
be constitutional, and Senator Rodg-
ers of Benton, speaking for the bill,
declared that he was gratifed to see
the senator from johnson for once
"ome over on the Lords side. He said
that it would stimulate agriculture
and would help every farmer one
hundred fold. Senator Friedell said
he thought the principle all right, but
he must oppose the bill in it's present
condition. Senator Turner spoke for
it, and cited the fact that farmer
living on the poorest part of Crow
ley's Ridge had raised 100 bushels
of corn to the acre under scientific
direction, whereas the average for The
state is II IA bushels. Another
farmer who had been raising a quar-
ter of bale of cotton, raised bale
end a half under the demonstrators
direction. Senator Keel made a strong
fight against, and the senate was dis
cussing his motion to postpone further
consideration until the Fourth of July
when the body adjourned.

en- her revenue to create county that
could not support itself"
Representative c. P. Newton of Lo-
noke county, whose home is at Eng
land, when asked about his position
on or knowledge of the plan for new
county, said:
Il know nothing about such a
scheme, and l am unable to find any
member, either of the house or senate,
who does. | suppose it will die for
want of a daddy, as is would, Of
course, have to be proposed by some
member concerned in the alleged plan.
IF any new county plan is to be
entertained in this or any subsequent
legislature, with respect to Lonoke
and Pulaski counties, will say that
my town would like to be county
seat England is in the southwest
corner of Lonoke county, is three
miles from the Pulaski county line
and about the same distance from
jefferson. If we could get two town.
ships from Pulaski, three from JEFF
ferson and five from our own county,
with England as county seat, we
would have the best agricultural
county in Arkansas.
years ago we tried to get dis
trict court for England, but failed to
co.s;ince the legislature that it was
nee assary. Most of our citizens come
through Little Rock to get to Lonoke,
the county seat, a distance of nearly
50 miles. Pulaski and jefferson coun-
ty citizens in our section are submit
ted to the same inconvenience and eX-
pense.

such a formation, but | do say it
would be much more logical than

MUCH FERTILIZER
Is Being USED

The sale of commercial fertilizer
in this section is increasing by leaps
and bounds this year. The number
of dealers in Conway is larger than
ever before and all report a good
business. Nearly every farmer COM
ing to town during the past few days
carries back with him load of fer
tilizer. The farmers are fast learn
ing that they cannot always take
away products from their land with
out ever putting back anything to
replenish it and they are studying
their soil from a scientific standpoint
with a view to bringing it up to the
highest point of productivity. In ad-
d;tion to the largely-increased use of
the commercial varieties, the farm
ers are doing much to improve their
lands by growing forage crops and
saving barnyard fertilizer.

BEGINS WORK ON
WATER SYSTEM

Contractor Joseph McCoppen is to-
day making arrangements to begin
at once the construction of the Con-
way waterworks system, for which he
has the contract. This morning he
took up a number of men and teams to
Gleason, where the intake pipes and
pumping station are to be located and
started them to unloading the first
carload of wooden pipe to be used in
conveying the water to the reservoir.
For the first two or three months
practically all of the work will be
done with Gleason as the basis of op-
erations, and all the material will be
unloaded at that point, until the work
of laying the mains in the city is be-
gun. The pumping station and reser-
voir will be built and supply pipe
between each laid before any work is
undertaken on the distribution sys-
tenn.
Mr.. McCoppen will work under the
difficulty of having to ferry all his
material across Cadron creek. The
railroad company refused to build
him a spur switch on the east side of
the creek, where all the work is to be
done, and the contractor found he
could have the material ferried
cheaper than he could build spur
IT his own expense.

HARD OPPOSITION
FOR new COUNTY
REPRESENTATIVES SAY NO
PROPOSED TO TAKE TERRI
TORY FROM FAULKNER AND
OTHER COUNTIES.

If the proposition to create new
county of territory taken from Faux
ner and several other countie sever
gets the sanction of the present legls-
lature, it will be after one of the
hardest fights ever witnessed in the
general assembly, judging from the
opinions of practically every member
whose county would be affected by the
measure. A similar plan originated
two years ago at Beebe, where several
citizens gave notice of their intention
to apply for such an act, but the bill
was never introduced. 1t is assumed
that the same promoters of the new
county are back of the present pro-
posal. This mornings Little Rock
Gazette contains the following inter-
esting interviews with representatives
in regard to the proposed new county,
Representative Clark of Lonoke,
when asked of the proposed plan of
creating a new county from Lonoke,
White. Prairie and Faulkner counties,
with Beebe as county seat, stated
yesterday afternoon that he knew
nothing absolutely of it until he read
newspaper reports Monday. Since
then. he said, he had talked with the
representatives of all counties con-
cerned and found that they also were
unaware of the existence of plan
to create new county.
81 am greatly opposed to the plan,
if such a plan is on foot said Repre-
sentative Clarke, land | am sure that
no one from the counties concerned
will introduce a bill for such pur-
pose. In addition to being almost
physical impossibility to create such
county the plan would work for the
evil of the entire surrounding coun-
try. A county made in accordance
with the alleged plan could not sup
mort school system. | think | can
safely say that no such bill will be
introduced. | have received many let
ters from my constituency, most of
them from influential men, stating
that Lonoke county was bitterly op-
posed to any action that would weak
