Injunction Is Granted.

Pine Bluff.-The supreme court OF
Arkansas has upheld Chancery Judge
J. NJ Elliott in his dissolution Of the
temporary injunction obtained by j,
J. Harrison ct al against Sheriff Nor
ton of Lincoln county. A number OF
property owners attempted to secure
4 permanent injunction against Sher-
If Norton, restraining him from col
lecting a new road tax, which was an
increase over the old tax. The plain.
tiffs in their petition for the perma'
nent restraining order, declared that
the law had not been legally passed.
A temporary injunction was granted,
but at the hearing Judge Elliott dis
solved it, and the case was taken to
the higher court.

PEACH GROWER
More Trees Are Being Planted
Yearly---H,332 Farms
Are Reported.
6,86O.OOO OF BEARING AGE
State Leads Others In Same Division
In Number Of Bushels
Produced.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Little Rochelle preliminary state
ment OF the general results of the
Thirteenth census relative to the num-
Der of farms reporting peach and nee
tarine trees of bearing age, together
with The number Of trees in each

the number of bushels Of peaches ana
nectarines produced in 1909, and the
value of the crop issued by Director
Durand Of the bureau of the census
department of commerce and labor,
has been received here. Further analy-
sis of the report may result in slight
modification of the totals here pre-
scented, but It is not expected there
will be any material change.
In Arkansas 1882 farms reported
s.S6O.000 trees Of bearing age, while
l0,SS9 farms reported 2,SS5,00O, which
had not yet reached the bearing age.
According to the figures, l,9O2,OOO
bushels of fruit were produced in 1909,
with a value of $1,503,000 That the
peach industry has shown a wonderful
growth is indicated by the fact that
on June l, 10000, only 100000 trees
we're reported, the production in 1899
having been $4,000 bushels. During
the decade the total number OF trees
increased from $4,000 bushels to l.
100000 bushels.
The report shows that in the entire
United States there we're 1,S43,6lV
farms, reporting peach and nectarine
trees Of bearing age, the number or
trees on these farms being 94,5O7 900.
There were S22,334 farms reporting
42,266,000 trees which had not yet
reached the bearing age. There were
produced in 1909 total Of 35,47O,O00
bushels of fruit valued at s2S, 1871, 900.
On June /, 1900, there were 39,9l9,OOo
trees reported with a production in
1899 Of 15,434,0O0 bushels of fruit.

isions into which the census divides

STATESMEN ARE FIGHTING
Delegation VIII Resist Sen
ate Amendment.

Western Newspspe. Union News Service.
Washington.-Mem of the Ark
ansas delegation have begun In earn
est a fight TO defeat the senate amend
ments which practically eliminates all
claims for Arkansas which we're car
ried in the omnibus claims bill.
Representative Joe T. Robinson said
that he and the other members OF
the house will fight to the last ditch
to see that Arkansans are paid their
claims.
In speaking OF the matter, Mr.. Rob
inson said:
"The action Of the senate, II 1t pre-
walls, in striking from the omnibus
claims bill practically all war claims
approved by the house will work a
great injustice on the claimants. The
government has been ineXcusably slow
in making settlement of these just de-
mands. Not a single claim stricken out
was of a questionable character. All
OF them are based on favorable find
ings OF fact by the court of claims.
The claimants have waited many
years for the government to REIN
burse them for the property which it
took from them or their ancestors dur
ing the Civil war and used for the
benefit Of the Union army. 1t Is diff
ficult to understand the reluctance Of
the congress to make appropriations
to pay these findings. 1t is true the
accounts are old, but whose fault has
occasioned the delay? For many
years these claims have been repeat.
eddy presented for payment. The bill
does not embrace all claims that
should be paid 1t includes only a
small part OF them The last section
of the amendment adopted by the
senate will shut out these claims for
ever II practically repeats the Bow
man and Tucker act, under which the
claims OF this character are prescott
ed to findings of fact. The court Of
claims is denied jurisdiction 10 here
after pass on them.
"The advocates in the senate Of the
so-called French spoilation claims
would, | believe, support movement
to adjust Civil war claims If payment
of the French spoilation claims could
be secured, From the investigation
Of these claims, I believe that there
is justice in them and |, for one, shall
seriously consider paying them before
| will see the senate amendment
adopted and the long suffering people
of the South forever shut out and de-
prived Of their just dues.
"The bill, as passed by the house
carried $75,27367 payable to citizens
of Arkansas. The senate amendment
will pay the pitiful sum of s7165, all
of this being confined to church prop
erty destroyed by the Federal army
during the war.
ut is TO be hoped that in conference
the house claims will be reinserted.
We shall make an effort to secure that
end. | believe that some speedy meth.
cd should be devised Of settling all
just war claims and getting rid Of
them, but am not willing in order to
relieve congress Of the trouble Of in
vestigating them, to arbitrarily say
now that any Just claims shall be for
ever barred The house is in temper
to resist the attitude OF the senate
very bitterly, and | expect hard fight
over the matter"
