QUORUM COURT
 MEETS MONDAY

The annual meeting of the Faulk her county quorum or levying court, composed of the county judge and the justices of the peace of the county. will be held here next Monday for the purpose of (evying the taxes for 1912 and making appropriations for 1912 1913. The tax levy is a mere formal ity, as most of the taxes are either voted by the people or levied by the legislature, but the matter of appro- priations is entirely within the dis cretion of the court.
 The appropriations for county pur- poses are usually made in accordance with recommendations submitted by the county judge and county clerk. One appropriation, however, about which it is considered likely that there will be a division of opinion, is that for the purpose of maintaining a government farm demonstrator in the county. An appropriation of $900 for this purpose was made last year, such appropriations having been made legal only in the previous Janu- ary by means of legislative act in troduced by the late Capt. w. w.. Martin Some objection was raised to this expenditure last year, but the appropriation was carried on a close vote.

NEGROES INJURED
 IN CUTTING SCRAPE
GATEWOOD MAY LOSELIFE
BEN LEWIS ESCAPES AFTER KNITTING ASSAILANTS OF
 HIS BROTHER.

Rushing to the assistance of his brother who was being attacked by
 Eunice and Robert Gatewood, ne groes, Ben Lewis yesterday inflicted serious knife wounds upon both the Gatewoeds and it is thought the iniu- ries of Eunice Gatewood may prove fatal. Lewis escaped immediately af- ter the encounter and has not been arrested.
 The affair occurred near a negro restaurant in the eastern part of the city late yesterday afternoon. Ac- cording to the best information ob- tainable, the Gatewoods were raunt- ing Lincoln Jones about having join ed the Holy Rollers" a negro sect who have been holding an open air revival here.

SEEK DODGE FOR
 6O-DAY SESSION
 % ATTACK ON AMENDMENT SAID TO BE PLANNED BY MEM BERS OF THE NEXT GEN
 ERAL ASSEMBLY.

Little Rock, Sept 30.-One of the radical changes which sometimes change up the cherished traditions of years, will be brought about by the emphatic adoption of the amendment initiated by Attorney General Nor wood limiting the legislative session to 50 days. This will apply to the session of 1913, and the members must begin at once to study plans for restricting the session to that time and transacting all necessary busi- ness. They are to receive pay for on- i ly 60 days, after which they must serve without compensation. It is opined that there are few patriots Willing to stay many days without pay.
 The attorney general has addressed to every member of the house and senate urging them to make good" on the proposition of a short, busi- ness-like session. He has shown them how at least 90 per cent of the spe- cial legislation which persistent constituency urges upon the members can be avoided by proceeding under general acts. Giving the first week of the session over to organization, and emitting the eight Sundays, there will be left but 46 working days for the transaction of the general busi- ness of the state and the special busi- ness that cannot be avoided.
 It has developed during the last few days that an attack will be made upon the short-session amendment by the legislature, although many mem bers are known to be for it. Others are contending that it was not prop erly advertised under the law, and that the speaker will be urged to hold it invalid and void on that ground. Should he do so, then the speaker will probably be mandamused, and the whole question be forced into court. The legislature will meet January 13, and under the amendment will ad- journ March 13, but the legal compii- cations that may arise may force longer session.
 Now that the personell of the legis- lature has been determined, there is resumption of talk as to the presid- ing offi"ers. Senators w. k. Oldham, T. J. Raney, A. C. Martin and w. k. Phillips are among those most strongly mentioned for the presidency of the senate. and Messrs Oldham, Raney and Martin especially are al- ready actively canvassing.
 For the speal1ership, o. C. Ludwig of Pulaski, Jo Hardage of Clark and S. A Miller of Jefferson are avowed candidates. and Bonnie Davis of Col umbia and T. c. lobe of Hampstead are probable entries.
 ! There will be only four Republicans in the next house against six in 1910. Republicans are sent by Crawford, Madison, Newton and Searcy counties and Logan and Carroll counties send Democrats this year. Senator c. L. Christian of Boone county will con tinue to enact the role of minority in the upper house.
