The Big Water Suit

That the layman in the Arkansas
valley may have better understand.
ing Of the figures Involved In the Kan
sas-C Colorado water suits, the follow
Ing data Is offered:
There has been appropriated from
the Arkansas river senior to January
I, 1884. s2l second feet. There has
been appropriated junior to that date
$3.50 acre feet, The water suit in
wolves the later amount OF water, or
something running about S7& per cent
OF the total appropriated water of the
entire river. In the lower end OF the
valley the per cent Is a little greater.
However, In giving the figures, there
Is no reason to believe for one minute
that any danger exists, other than the
danger involved in any suit Of law. 1t
exists for the reason that there Is Il
suit. Any man can start such suit
regardless OF the worth OF his claims,
and there Is no reason to feel for one
minute that the water conditions in
the Arkansas valley will not remain
bS Ullcy arc AuC SuIU GAiSoSS uo"C'CI,
and the Arkansas Valley Ditch asso-
citation, aided by the state, is defend
ing them as matter of policy, and
taking no chances with the greatest
asset the state has.
Recent decisions In the water mat
ters fully settle all doubt OF any out
come, and 1t is said that Kansas resi-
dents take the suit very lightly, and
with no reason to believe that there
is anything 10 them other than last
chance. The state Of Kansas as a
state, was fully convinced Of that in
the last suit, and the final decision of
which was given by Justice Brewer of
the United States Supreme court
and general basing laws are the basis
of all decisions and the outcome can
not help but be the same. However,
the suit exists and the state and ditch
associations are taking the opportu.
nifty once and for all Of settling the
much mooted question Of state rights
to state water. Therefore the appro.

The Ben Hill County
Fair a Great Success.

The new Babe has been born and
Ben Hill County has her first Fair,
one that every citizen Of the Coun-
ty should be proud of. The exhibits
are most excellent, the relies are
curiosities to our young people as
we'll as some Of our older ones
Everything points to a great Far
for our new County, and we feel like
every live citizen will do their part
to make this a great success. Ben
Hill must have her Annual County
Fair every year, she has as good re-
sources and can make as good dis
plays as any county in Georgia, and
all our people won't have to go out
side of the county hereafter to see
a number one Fair. Also during
this Fair every citizen should see
the great picture at the Lyric Thea
ter called the Shadow of the Cross,
something in this you can not I'M
derstand and which will leave some
thing on your mind to study about
many days thereafter. Every citi-
zen that could should purchase a
season ticket to this, our great first
County Fair, all the encouragement
you can lend at this time will be
better for cur future Annual Fairs
that we expect to have. See the
great display of the International
Harvester's machinery and C0lum-
bus make wagons. The DoDD SUPPLY
COMPANY sells their line OF one and
two horse wagons which you will
find on display and stands ready to
make any one a reasonable price on
the Columbus Wagons, and offers
their guarantee against any imper-
feet workmanship on any of these
wagons. Mr.. E. c. Miller who lives
here will take pleasure in introduce
ing this entire line made by the In
ternational Harvester Company.

name all the relics that he has in
his possession. but will give only a
few, which he prizes the highest.
He has a commission to Nicolas
