ARKANSAS ADOPTS
 ROCK HILL PLAN
REDUCE COTTON ACREAGE
ORGANIZATION PLANS TO CUT DOWN COTTON ACREAGE
 ONE-FOURTH.

Little Rock, Feb. 10.-Arkansas has joined the movement for the in- auguration of the oRck Hill plan of cotton acreage reduction. This is the plan originated by J. G. Anderson of Rock Hill, s. C., who visited Little Rock Friday and secured the endorse ment of state officials and commercial organizations who will assist in put ting the scheme into operation.
 It is now in operation in all the southern states except. Louisiana, and MT. Anderson is in Baton Rouge to- day for the purpose of organizing that state. The plan contemplates the canvassing of each township in the state for pledges of acreage re- duction, as much as 25 per cent of the amount planted last year. Mr. An derson reports that some of the big planters in his own state are reducing even 60 per cent.
 At the conferences held Friday, it was agreed that Clio Harper, former editor of the Arkansas Democrat, should be appointed state superin- tendent for the purpose of organizing the state and appointing committees in each county who shall have charge of the work in their respective com munities. It is planned that the ex- pense necessary in each county shall be borne there by contributions of those interested, but an appeal has generally been made for contributions toward the expense of the central of flee, to cover the cost of postage printing and stenographer's hire. To this end, an appeal is being sent out to bankers, merchants, cotton men and others signed and approved by Governor Donaghey, Commissioner Sloan, George A. Cole, president of the Farmers Union, and J. G. Ander- son, requesting contributions to be sent direct to the state superintend- ent in Little Rock. This letter says
 We think you will agree with us that something should be done quickly to strengthen present cotton prices and improve conditions for another year.
 '"The most practical thing in sight to do is to put the Rock Hill plan into execution without delay. Our sister states of North Carolina, Southh Car. olina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississipp and Oklahoma have already organized under the plan, and are now enggec Tn canvassing for pledges. We arc confident that we can safely appeal tC public-s spirited impulses to aid in thi, very important work. The money vii be carefully and judiciously spent The expense for the detail work il the various counties will be raised To cally. Our appeal to you is for i'm mediate assistance to get these coun t:es organized"

FEW MENINGITIS
 CASES REPORTED

Little Rock, Feb. Meningitis is reported from several places in the state, and there have been a numbe, of deaths from it, but physicians de. clare that it has not assumed the pro- portions of an epidemic. In fact there are fewer cases now than ordi- narlly at this season. There are not more than half a dozen cases in Lit tie Rock aat this time, with four deaths in January, while there were more than 40 deaths in this city dur ing the year 1911. There are two kinds, one of which is not contagious and nearly always prove fatal, and the other the epidemic kind which has been creating such havoc in Texas.
 There are two well-developed cases reported at Prescott, one being Hugh Dillard. eldest son of Sheriff billiard. There have been three cases and one death in Newport, the fatal case be- ing nephew of County Treasurer Park. There are two cases in Der mott, both children in the same fam ily

TAYLOR STILL AFTER
 GAMBLING FRATERNITY
LITTLE ROCK MAYOR SECURES $3,000 PARAPHERNALIA IN
 ANOTHER RAID.

Little Rock, Feb. 10.-The gambling fraternity is being given some pretty hard blows by the city administration during the last few weeks. Mayor Taylor has announced that the anti gambling law must be strictly enforc- ed, and if necessary, as he did one night last week, he will personally lead the raids upon places where it can be definitely shown that games are in progress.
 Last week there was a bonfire of $500 worth of paraphernalia and va rious kinds of gambling devices, and in few days, there will be another bonfire in which S3.O00 worth of the stuff will go up in smoke The raid was made Friday about noon, by the police, in the rooms over Arata's sa- loon at l24 West Markham. It was evident, however, from the aceumula- ton of dust, that the tables, wheels and poker chips had not been in use for some time. Two wagon loads of the stuff were confscated. This is the largest raid that has been made in the city in many years.

CONTRACT LET FOR ROAD BED FROM RUSSELLVILLE TO
 DOVER.

Little Rock, Feb 10.-The contract for the roadbed of the proposed new railroad from Russellville to Dover, which will open up valuable timber and coal lands in the Dover territory, has been awarded, and it is expected to begin actual work of construction soon, according to Robert A. Rags dale of Russellville, who is at the Ho- tel Marion.
 MT. Ragsdale is accompanied by N. w. Yoer of St. Louis, who is interest ed in the proposed railroad
 While the Dover line will only be nine miles in length, it will be great thing for Russellville" said MT. Rags dale. "The coal district around Dow CT s one of the greatest in the coun- try and railroad is all that is need ed to start things booming in that sec ton of the country. There is much valuable timber and some mineral which, it is believed, can be developed into paying proposition.
 Within few weeks our water and sewer system, the latter a municipal project entirely, will be completed ''

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE
 SUN"

The campaign for mayor has at last developed novel identity which con tradcts that which we have been taught to believe, That there is noth- ing new under the sum-"
 A man who was dragged into the race and now is pulling as hard against the collar as he claims to have pulled against the ''holding-back- strop' at the beginning; a man who claims to be no politician, and yet has been as industrious as the proverbial little bee in the organization of the election machinery; man who boasts of his long residence and model life for, To! these many years, and yet deems it necessary to exploit his par-excellent qualities in daily ad, couched snugly in the bargain corner of the daily press; modest man who has no platform except the boast of himself, and the insinuation that oth- CTS fall far short of his own beautiful opinion of himself; man whose only purpose is to serve the people, and yet says that he will resign his service in the less political position which he now holds in order to serve, for a few fieeting months, the children of Israel who have not Moses to lead them from wilderness of wooden pipes and peanut politicians.
 It is indeed fortunate that panic stricken people have discovered, in the bull-rushes of his private business, this long-looked for, automatic, self adjusting, rapid-repeating, rim-fring and fearless exponent of efficiency, impartiality and press-ad utiiity.
 He must be all right; he says he is; and it's too bad that all this sweetness should have been wasted on the desert air. It will be worse when, on the morning after the election the people dopt the policy of the wise business ran, who said; that as soon as an nploye got to believing that his ser ices was indispensable that he inn mediately discharged him. That's pretty sound logic in public affairs, too. So when his political remains are laid to rest. hope may be per mitted to write a suitable epitaph to him whose hankering for office was so irresistible that he was willing to re- sign the old that he might aspire to ! the new.
 i Tread softly round this sacred heap, It guards Ambitions restless sleep;
 Whose greed for place did ne'er for sake him
 Don't mention office, or you'll wake him.

DISAGREE AS TO
 NEW COMMITTEE

There is some difference of opinion between members of the city Democratic central committee over the selection of a new committee for the ensuing two years, the outcome of which seems this afternoon to be in doubt. Chairman J. H. Bailey yes terday issued a notice to the effect that the ticket would be held open un- til tonight for the reception of names for members of the new committee. reciting that the committee as a whole had taken no action to provide for the selection of new committee. Secre- tary w. B. Wilson, however. holds that the ticket closed on February 5. and states that unless directed other wise by the whole committee he will not print on the ballots any except the names which were filed with him prior to February 5. He states that If Chairman Bailey desires to open call a meeting of the committee to the ticket for other names he should take action on the matter. Mr. Bailey said this afternoon that he had the matter under advisement and might call meeting Monday.
 The list which was filed with Sec
 retary Wilson contains the names of all the present committeeman in the Second and Third wards, except J. A. Pence, for whom E. J. Witt is sub- stituted in the Third ward. In the First ward all of the present commit teemen are displaced by new names.

Letters received from Congressman H. M. Jacoway to Editor c. E. Cruce and Postmaster G. H. Taylor, which are printed in the Morrilton Demo- crat this week, indicate that Mir. Jaco- way is making an effort to have a mail car placed in the new Hot Springs City express train, which was recently put into service on the Iron Mountain Missouri-P Pacif- ic lines. Congressm aJacoway's letter to Postmaster Taylor is as fol- lows:
 ''I took the matter of having the fast train through Morrilton carry mail with the Department after re- ceiving your letter of January 29, and hope to be able to report success in the course of a week I do not know what the Department will be able to do in the premises, but 1 will attend to this matter carefully and let you hear from me as soon as I get advised in the matter"
