MOOSE SPLIT ON
 NEGRO QUESTION

Little Rock, July 27.-The Bull Moose party of Pulaski county held a county convention at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium last night, and it developed a first-class row over the question whether negroes should serve as delegates to the state con- vention. The result was bolt of the lilly white" faction, which held a separate meeting in another part of the hall while the other convention was in session.
 The debate, which was exceedingly lively at times, was enlivened by per sonalities, but no actual disorder took place. The 19 negroes present were the bone of contention, many claim ing they had perfect right to serve as delegates, while others could not see it that way.

A WORD PERSONAL.
From Tuesday's Daily.

From Tuesday's Daily.
 Upon the advice of our physician, who believes that a change of climate will hasten her recovery from an ill., ness of several weeks duration, the editor of the Log Cabin Democrat will leave with Mrs. Robins tonight for Colorado. During the absence of the editor, the paper and business will be in charge of Fletcher Smith, whose long connection with the office makes him we'll fitted to assume the responsibility. Backed by as loyal force of employees as could be found anywhere, we have no fear that both the newspaper and the printing busl- ness will be carried on as efficiently as ever and that if any change at all is seen, it will be an improvement The numerous details of the business, however, will take so much of Mr. Smiths time that the opportunity of newsgathering will be limited, and the friends of the paper will confer a great favor upon us if they will telephone or send in such items as may come to their notice.

COMPRESS COMFY
 BUYS MACHINERY
PLANT TOBE READY OCT. 1
WEBB COMPRESS co. GIVEN CONTRACT FOR MACHIN-
 FRY AT $23,50O.

The recently organized Conway Compress Company today contracted with the Webb Compress Company of Mendon, La., for the purchase of the machinery to be used in the plant to be installed here. The plant in- cludes 2000-ton steam press of the latest and most modern design, 120 horsepower boiler and all other nec- essary equipment. Seven cars will be required to ship the machinery to this place.
 Dr. Robert D. Webb, president of the manufacturing company, said Conway will have a compress equal to any in Memphis or other large city. It will have a maximum capac- ity of 1900 bales in 10 hours, which will be more than sufficient to meet any demands of the local market.
 The cost of the machinery for the compress will be $23,5O0. In addi- tion to this an expenditure of about $10,O00 will be required for buildings and grounds. The plant is expected to be ready for operation by Octo- Der 1.
 Secretary G. L. Banner of the Conway company said today the warehouse capacity would be 5000 bales, sufficient to store all the cotton likely to be in Conway at any one time. The establishment of a con- press here, he thinks, will greatly strengthen the local cotton market. Keeping the cotton housed and pro- tected from the weather will make it bring a better price, and the fact that it will be sold only by grades, he says, will also make the staple sell higher
 The compress will be located on the Martin & Harton property south of the McCulloch ice plant. Work on the buildings will be started at once, in order that they may be completed by the time the machinery is received here.

judge.
 Designating October 12 ss Coium- bus Day.
 Amendment No. 10 itself does not prescribe the style of the enacting clause. The fact that enabling act was one of the last approved by the governor, on June 30, 1911, may have some bearing on the question.
 The whole problem, however, IS one in which the layman finds himself lacking in sympathy with the hair splitters. The simplest way to set tie it appears to them to be that acts bear the title of the people" or the general assembly," dependent upon their origin. Much valuable time of the most expensive session on record and the legal acumen of the attorney general were exhausted in an effort to solve the problem, but the best that could be done was the general adoption of the double-barreled clause, one of which must be right.

 Fade like the mist away, That all thy future life may be A continuous, happy way.

Last Year barley sold around the

ket for barley is but 80 cents. Far
mers can better afford to feed their
barley rather than sell at this figure
for they will make three times as
much out Of it for hog feed.
