trade and all efforts have been crown ed with success. It is believed that the proposed campaign for Little Rock has caused some of these wan derers to avoid the city
 Several years ago several of these traders came to Little Rock and plac- ed on sale a miscellaneous lot of dry goods and merchandise and conducted a big advertising campaign in which they advertised that they had secur- ed their stock from railroad wreck and that they were selling first class goods below the cost of manufacture.
 Local merchants got together and discussed plans for ridding the town of these traders and keeping the peo- pie from being victimized.
 A plan was finally decided upon which proved successful and rid the city of the undesirable foreign mer. chants. Several merchants sent men to the "sale" and had them purchase some of their advertised goods. Upon examination of these goods they were found to be below the quality and texture advertised whereupon the mer- chants appealed to the law and were successful in forcing the traders to leave the city.

| would individually be glad to con- tribute towards It's maintenance.
 But what have done to bring down the condemnation of these Hot Springs officials? What have l done to cause them to threaten violence to me, to say 1t was well for me that I left the city when did, to warn me not to came back again? Why, 1t is this, they were not satisfied with all the wool they could clip from the lambs on the whole six working days of the week. But they wanted to continue the shearing process on Sunday. The State Baptist Association, in conven- tion there, found that this was going to be done and petitioned me as the chief executive of the state to prevent it if possible. I ordered the munich pal and fair officials not to violate the state laws, and then told them what would happen if they did This prevented them from making S6,000 on Sunday and this is their complaint.
 Hot Springs has thousands of good people within her limits. Hot Springs is undoubtedly the greatest health re- sort in the world The curative pow CTS possessed by her waters are un- surpassed on the face of the earth. She has the best hotels in the South Her natural scenery and surroundings are sublimely beautiful. But her muni- cipal management has for years, with very few exceptions, been the greatest travesty on law and order known in the United States. Hot Springs has given this state more trouble than all others in it. It is one of the greatest har5orers of crooks in the United States, and with our local system of government in many cases they have been immune from the rules of the law and permitted to prey at will on the public.
 At every session of the legislature laws are attempted to be passed con trary to the interest and will of the people of the state, for nothing but that the selfish interests of some of the Hot Springs officials may be satis- fled. These interests endeavor to combine all other interests antagonis. tic to good government, and between them the best interests of the people is sidetracked and made subservient to their will. This practice has be- come so prevalent that, to express it in the words of a former member of the legislature the good people of Arkansas got from their legislature just about what the crooks will permit them to have.
 "The time is about at hand when the United States government should take charge of these Springs. The world should have the benefit of these springs. It is in the interest of hu- manity that we bestir ourselves in this direction. I am in favor of ceding to the United States government the jurisdiction of a reservation sufficient ly large around Hot Springs. These springs should be made a national resort and to do that it would be bet ter to have the city policed and con- trolled by the national government.

SUSPECT BOUND OVER
Rice Grower of Stuttgart to Await
 Action of Federal GranI J.

 Western Newspaper Union New r1ce.
 Pine Bluff.-C E. Edmun ~~-m- erly of Woodruff, H., now pss- full rice grower of Stuttgart, A Has county, was bound over to aW Ee action of the federal grand jul, "a lowing preliminary hearing before United States Commiss A. l.. Burnett, on a charge of porting dynamite from one stat another in violation of fed statute.
 Edmunds was arrested here several days ago on information from Stutt- gart, which charged him with trying to dynamite rice mill at that place. The scheme failed, however, when residents put man on guard where he had deposited an ingenous contriv- ance to which was attached 57 sticks of dynamite. When he went there af- ter midnight, supposedly to set off the machine, he was fired upon when he refused to halt. He made his es- cape uninjured and was arrested in this city several hours later. This was the evidence of witnesses, but, notwithstanding they positively identi- fled him, Edmunds denies any knowl- edge whatever of the alleged dynamite plot.

 NEWS AND NOTES
Governor Issues Statement An swering Criticism for Action
 During State Fair.
WANTS G0VERNME CONTROL
Says Officials and Former Officers Have Neglected Duties Regarding
 Law Enforcement.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Governor Donagney issued a lengthy statement here last week on account of criticism of news papers in Hot Springs and Memphis. criticising his stand on Sunday law enforcement in Hot Springs when he stopped the fair association from charging admission to the races on Sunday.
 He characterizes in strong terms some of the actions of Hot Springs officials and former officials in the matter of law enforcement He says that the city of Hot Springs gives more trouble to the state of Arkansas than all the others put together and says he will recommend to the next legislature that it request congress to take charge of the city and place it under strict control.
 His statement in part follows:
 My attention has been called to a criticism given me by a correspondent from Hot Springs in Memphis papers and others. Also have been sent clip pings by friends in Hot Springs of what some of the local papers there are saying about me. These com plaints state in part:
 Feeling was intense against the governor. The effect of the official visit of Gov Donaghey to Hot Springs was that tho ArI,oncoc C+ota E,oir < e sociation was approximately deprived of revenue of $6,000.'
 The cause of the complaint is that the fair association lost the S6,000
 Any action that costs the powers that be now in Hot Springs money that they have planned to get infuriates them. It matters not what the ob- jeetions of society to the methods en- ployed by them to get this money may be.
 They complain that I have been negligent in my attendance at the state fair The state fair is such only in name.
 "The state as a state has no interest in it, has promised it nothing, owes it nothing now nor will it ever appro- priate anything toward the mainten- ance of the state fair now in Hot Springs, so long as it is run as it is The enterprise is handled by private interests and, like any other business matter, must stand or fall on it's own merits.
 If the state fair has made money, local interests get the benefit of it; if it has lost, they lose.
 The governor officially is under no more obligation to attend the open ing of this institution than he is to attend the annual opening of the Southern club, the Kentucky club, or the Arkansas club, all of which are supposed to be high-class gambling houses. Certainly, if they could in duce the governor to attend their openings and sessions it would lend dignity to their standing and bring many lambs to the shearing pen.
 If there could be a state fair pro- noted, real state fair which could be supported by the state at any time that the state has sufficient revenue to give it, would be glad myself not only to give it encouragement by my presence as governor or citizen, but
