BALLOTS DISPLEASING
To GOVERNOR BLEASE

Spartanburg, S. c.. Aug. 27.-Gover-
nor Cole L. Blease is good and mad
over the way he considers he has been
treated by the state executive commit
tee in the matter of ballots for to-
days primary elections. The COVER
nor made a request to Chairman John
Gary Evans for $4,000 additional bal
lots for his use today. Under a re-
cent ruling of the committee. no bal
lot will be counted unless it is the Of
ficial ballot furnished by the commit
tee. Former Governor Evans said
the committee could not grant Gov
ernor Blease's request. for if it did
so, every other candidate for office
would be in a position to make sim
liar demands and there would be no
telling where the matter would end
Thus no ballots have been furnished
any candidate, although the commit
tee has made ample provisions for
every voter to get tickets.

COUNTY WILL PAY TO

Absence of Fee For Supreme Court Mandate Would Give BrOwman .=s Lease on Life.

: Little Rock, June 19-If it de- pended upon the contingent fund of the Attorney Generals office to pay $50 for mandate from the Supreme Court of the United States showing the dismissal of a writ of error in the Will Bowman case, Bowman would at least have lease on life until the next legislature make a new appripriation for the Attorney General.

Preliminary Plans
 For Ark. on Wheels
w. B. Folsom Tells of Next Trip of the Arkansas Exhibit
 Train.

Little Rock, June 19-Prelim nary plans for the annual Arkansas on Wheels excursion were made here Wednesday by w. B. Folsom of Brinkley, the originator of the year ly northern junkets, who called upon sta,e officials and railroad men to see what could be done regarding :. better advertising train than was ever sent out before.
 It is the intention of the promoter to cut down the size of the train th:s year, limiting the number of passen- gers to 100, and making it q case of quality rather than of quantity. The train used last ysar was too eumber- some to handle, and By taking great CT care in the selection of exhibits, and the limiting of the attendants, Mr. Folsom bel.eves he can take out an advertising medium which will previous ones. As the value of this sort of train has been satisfactorily demonstrated, through the many land sales which can be directly traced to former tours of Arkansas on Wheels, MT. Folsom expects little difficulty in getting the spaces all contracted for in a short time. {, <9 ss.~
