 iOnists to Join Their Cham- .. piOn in Debate.

'Cyclone' Davis will speak at the Court House front this evening at eight-thirty. II was announced on last Sunday night at the mass meet ing that he would speak again at Pine Bluff tonight. The anti-prohibitionist were invited to send representative to meet Mr. Davis at this time on the question. of Statewide Prohibition in Arkansas, that any duly accredited representative of the opposition would be allowed to share time with Mr. Da- wis. So far the invitation has not been accepted However the invitation is still open. We are perfectly willing this question. Everybody is cordially invited to attend this meeting. The presence of the colored people will not be objectionable
 On Sunday evening there will be another mass meeting which will be addressed by Dr. Jas. A. Anderson of Little Rock. The churches of the city will call in their evening services in the interest of this mass meeting. pr. Anderson formerly served the first Methodist church in this city and is we'll known here. He is one of the finest speakers in Arkansas. He will preach at the First Methodist church Sunday morning.

MANY SAFEGUARDS
 ABOUT NO. l5
RESTRICTIONS PLACED ABOUT RIGHT OF CITIES AND TOWNS
 .w ITO ISSUE BONDS. I
Each PrOpesed Bond IsSae Must Re Snbmitted at Election Held for
 4i,ts That Purpose

Sc many safegards have been plac- ed about the proposed constitutional Amendment No. 15, which will give cities s,and {. Incorporated towns : of more than. LOO population the right to issue bonds for public improve ments, that virtually no criticism has been made of the provisions of she measure.
 Amendment No. 15 first restricts the purposes for which bonds may be issued It provides that bonds can be- issued to secure money only for public improvements of general na- ture- improvements which will be of use and benefit to all the residents of the city or town proposing to spend the money. Bonds can be issued for the construction of public highways, streets, alleys, and boulevards; for the purchase and equipment of parks and playgrounds, for the construction of city halls, prisons, libraries, hos. pitals, fire stations and equipment, viaducts and bridges, for pubic buildings of all kinds for the pur- chase, or construction Of waterworks, lighting plants and street railways, but it is specifically provided that bonds shall not be issued to aid in the construction of railroads or enter prises operated by any private cor poration, It is further provided that no money raised for specific pur- pose shall be used for any other or different purpose.
 r. The most important safeguard, however, is that which prevents the issuance of any bonds unless the peo- pie of the city or town order that l they be issued. The adoption of Amendment No. 15 when it is sub mitted to the people of the state on September 9, will not open the way to 1 the issuance of any bonds until the voters of city or town decide that they wish to raise money in that way fer public improvements. A bond is- sue can be authorized only by an election held for that specific pur- pose. In the first place the city coun- cil must pass an ordinance setting
 forth the specific purpose for which

With the big University of Pennsyl-

proa ching. no official decision has been
made on the probable makeup Of the

showed up to the Indian leaders salts

any predictions on the probable Bufi

POSTPONEMENT MAY
MEAN THAT TITLE
WILL GO UNDECIDED
Gives North Carolina Good
Chance to Take South
ern HonorS.

Because of the cancellation Of the
Georgetown-Un University of North Caro-
lima game yesterday afternoon on ac-
count of inclement weather, It is doubt
full IL the South Atlantic intercollegiate
baseball championship for 1912 will be
definitely decided. No other contest be-
tween the Tar Heels and the Hilltoppers
Ii scheduled, and in case both should
win their series with Virginia, as they
are likely to do, the premier honors will
have to 90 undetermined. North Caro-
lima Is even up with Virginia in their
five-gsme series, each having won two
games and as Lee Is car5cd to pitch In
the final battle, the Carolinians stand a
wonderful chance OF coppili, the series.
The Georgetown-Virginia struggles
commence tomorrow in Charlottesville,
respective teams made, during the
Northern invasion, the Blue ard Gray
aggregation appear to BE- much stronge r
| extensively, while Dave White, with a
record of four wins to one defeat, snould
be able to pitch on equal terms with
Rixey, the Blue and Gold star.
AS the last two games of the series
are to be played on the Hilltop Field
/ on May 3 and 4, prospects are that the
West End institution will defeat the Old
| Dominion collegians, and then the mix
up concerning the championship will
| occur unless another game between
| Georgetown University and North Caro-
| lima is scheduled.
| Coach Sprigman will take sixteen
men on the trip tomorrow. aud is ccn-
| fident that his charges will be returned
:, the victors I'm the initial combat with
Georgetowns greatest rival
After returning from Charlottesville
the Hilltoppers will depart again for
| their Northern trip, on which they viii
cross bats with Yale and Seaton Hall.

Davis Learned Managing
From Connie Mack

Harry Davis for years sat at the feet
of Mack. OF late seasons Davis held
the office of first lieutenant to the tall
and lean general of the Philadelphia
American League forces.
Shrewdness, a playing economy, fore
sightedness. and mental endurance have
combined to make Mack a remarkable
baseball manager. There are few tricks
to the trade that Mack does not know
MANY Of them can claim the angular
McGillicuddy as their inventor.
Davis, gifted with comprehension ant
memory, should be equipped to handle
ball club along the McGillicudd!
was much in the council of Mack
The Maps work at present calls fol-
a great deal of attention. Mack's repu
tation as a manager is established
Davis work with the Maps is tes
of Macks ability as a tutor.
