P. D. Scott Gets $40, 600 Damages
for Ten Acres Of Land.

The most important opinion
handed down by the supreme
court Monday was rendered by
Justice Kirby in which he affirm
ed the judgment of the Scott
county circuit ccurt, which award,
ed to p. ID. Scott $4,000 damages
for ten acres of land on the Sc
bastian county side of the Arkan-
sas river opposite this city, which
was condemned for the use of the
Fort Smith aud Van Buren, In
prOVement District for the use of
the free bridge.
The action grew out of con-
demnatien suit which originated
in the Sebastian county chancery
court and was afterward transfer
red to the circuit court of Scott
county. Scott insisted that if the
property should be condemned
for the use of the free bridge ii
would destroy his ferry privilege,
which would entail upon him a
loss of not less than 100000. The
Jury fixed the amount Of damages
at $4,000, which was appealed by
Judge Hill, representing the
Bridge Commissioner, to the su-
preme court.

Mai. Butt Died as he Wished to
Die,

Atlanta, Ga, April 2l.-MaJ.
Archibald Butt, one of the heroes
of the Titantic, died as he wished
to die, when he gave his life in
order that women and children
might escape. just before Maj,
Butt sailed on the Titantic, an At
ianta woman relative received q
otter from him which contained
the following paragraph:
"My ambition is to die leaving
a name that will reflect credit on
my family
"Archie achieved his ambition"
said this relative today. "He
died a good death, and we are
proud Of him."
Relatives in Atlanta tell of Maj.
Bntt's devotion TO bis mother,
who died four years ago in Liver
pool, where she had gone 10 visit
another son. Maj Butt was pre-
pairing to go to England to accom-
panied his mother back to her
Georgia home when he was Cabled
her death. Her body was Gre
mated, and the urn containing the
ashes was brought to America by
u friend OF Maj, Butt, who met
him in New York.
Enroute to Augusta, the soldier
sat in the Pullman car holding in
his arms the urn which bore the
earthly remains of his mother. On
his arrival In Augusta he still re-
fused to allow the urn out Of his
possession, and with his own
hands he carried it to the Gene
tery and buried it.
Maj. Butts love for his family
amounted to a passion, and while
he was off duty at the White
House he was tracing family rec.
ords. The records show that his
ancestors were OF the best blood
of England and Scotland. That
he was y member of the Order of
Cincinnati, Maj, Butt considered
one Of his greatest honors.
Maj, Butts nearest surviving
relatives are his two brothers, Ed.
ward II. Butt, Of Liverpool, and
Lewis Ford Butt, of Augusta.
His mother hoped to make an
Episcopal clergyman out ofhim,
and he was educated at the Uni
versty of the South with that end
in view. He, however, preferred
secular life, aud after graduation
took up newspaper work, He Ell.
tered the army during the Spanish.
American war.

You want water not quite 200 degrees

Many dealers object to eggs with pale

the water and use as little water as pos
sible.
A bit Of experience with damp floors
The upper sash of the windows were
taken out and muslin placed there In

appeared. The theory Of this seems to
be that the moisture rising escaped
through the muslin, instead of remain
