STATE SAVED MONEY
 BY 6O-DAY SESSION
Total Expenses of 1913 General As sembly Estimated to Be S76,OOO Compared With 1911 Say
 ing Was Si23,00G.

Little Rock, March iS.-The amendment to the constitution lim- iting the sessions of the legislature 10 So days saved the state approxi- mately si23,O0O this time, according to the books in the auditors depart ment.
 The records show that the mile age, per diem and expenses of the general assembly in 1911 were just a few dollars short Si99,000, while the warrants issued on the general assembly of 1913 to o'clock Mon day totalled S75, ,i79.55.
 However, several clerks and members will be here until April i. closing up the books, and there is expected to be about Si,000 addi- tional expense, making about S76,- 900 expended on the legislature of 1913.
 The session of two years ago last ed until May i3, and the governor called an extra session, which last ed three or four weeks. The ses- sion of 1913 lasted less than half the time of the sesison of 1911,

A Delicacy Indeed.

Dr. w. E. Flick recently brought to this office head of cabbage that for flavor. for whiteness and for tenderness excels anything of the kind ever seen by those who exam ined, tasted and enjoyed it. This cabbage, together with some 15O more, was. pulled last fall when lit tie more than forming head, placed in a trench, covered with straw and boards, and in that con dition developed into delicacy that would be appreciated even by people who care little for the or dinary cabbage. It is safe to say that thousands of such would find ready market at fancy prices in Mena during the three or four months following January 1, to say nothing of the demand that would be found in the cities for such a delicacy.

THE STATE:FUND
 IS AT LOW EBB
Persons Holding Warrants Must Hustle to Get Any Cash From the Arkansas TreaSury-Warrants
 Now Out Amount to $100,OOO.

Little Rock, March 1S.-Those holding warrants on the general revenue fund of the state treasury must present them early if they are to receive any cash on account, for the poor old fund is now at lower ebb than it has been in even the lean years of the past
 With nothing but the receipts from the feed and fertilizer tag sales, and fees collected by the sec retary of state to depend upon, there is little prospect for early re- lief for the treasury.
 It is customary for the collectors of the various counties to pay in the states portion of the liquor li- censes in January, but this year very little of this has been paid in so far There is no law requiring the collectors to make this payment in January, 1t being merely a GUS tom. Pulaski county, which pays over S20,000 from liquor licenses, is one of the wet counties which has not yet advanced this money to the treasury.
 There arc outstanding warrants for over Si00,000, so should any large amount of money be paid in, 1t would stand an excellent show of going immediately back into circulation. The newspapers of the state are holding fully two-thirds of the S15,000 the legislature voted to pay them for the publication of the constitutional amendments which were referred to the people at the last general election. There are plenty of these warrants float ing around to grab up anything placed in the general revenue fund. The last legislature appropriated nearly Sl00000 to pay for buildings and for deficiencies at the state agricultural schools, and none of this has yet been paid, though war rants are liable to be presented for the various items at any time.
 At the present time the feed and fertilizer fund is averaging about Si00 a day, with the receipts from the office of the secretary of state amounting to about S2,50O a month,

IS II OLDHAM
 OR FUTRELL?
Courts Will Decide Which Is Le- gally Acting GOvernOP-Lundy Is Attorney for Flu
 trell.

Little Rock, March ll.-If the saying of Solomon IS true, "a house divided against itself will fall," the roof of the state capitol is due for a tumble before the week end, for beneath it there are today two seats of government, and they are far | separated as it is possible under the limits of the building. Acting Gov ernor Oldham holds forth in the quarters which have been assigned to the governor in the northmOst corner of the building, while Act ing Governor Futrell has offices in the southmost corner, adjoining the Senate chamber. Both claim ants to the office are surrounded by retinue of legal talent and follow CTS.
 Acting Governor J. NJ. Futrell president pro tenn of the Senate who took the oath of office Thurs day morning, Thursday afternoon made formal demand upon Acting Governor Oldham, who took the oath of office as governor Wednes- day afternoon, for the office. The demand was met with a stony stare a look of askance and a point-blank refusal. In fact, Acting Governor Futrel was almost told to ''go to-
 Nothing daunted, Acting Govern or Futrell withdrew from the of- flee of Acting Governor Oldham and established his citadel upon the hill at the other end of the building. No further communication was in dulged in between the claimants for the office, but both set on foot legal proceedings to hold or grab the of flee.
 In his end of the building, Acting Governor Oldham consulted with his attorneys, and at the other end Acting Governor Futrell was sur rounded by an apparent majority of the Senate. His chief advisers were Senators Lundy of Polk. Rodg- CTS of Benton and Miles of Pulaski.
 Acting Governor Futrell is look ing after the real interests of the people of Arkansas, while attend- ing to his fight for the office, for he has taken the precaution to sign all appropriation measures, even though they were signed by Acting Governor Oldham. in order to make them legal He did this so that no question could come up on them in the future. Acting Governor Flu trell has further notified the en- rolling committee of House and Senate where he is to be found to sign all bills which have been placed in proper shape by them. He advised the heads of these commit tees to bring the bills to his office if they are to be legally signed.
 The question of who is the proper person to sign the bills will bring the gubernatorial problem to an early solution, for it is a judicial question which will permit the Su- preme court to pass upon it, and some way will be found to get the question into that court Monday or the week following, so the ques- ton of who is governor will not be long in being solved.

STANLEY ]. CLARK, SOCIALIST,
 ADDRESSED GOOD AUDIENCE

Stanley J. Clark, the Socialist speaker, who lectured at the court house Friday night, as previously announced, had the pleasure of ad- dressing a large and attentive audi ence, the court room being filled to it's seating capacity. Mir. Clark does not follow the plan of some. of his belief of haranging his hearers with abuse of men and parties, but con- ceded good in both, particularly praising President Wilson. He pointed out the gains being made by Socialistic principles, pointing to the postoflice, the Panama canal, the parcel post and other governmental features as direct advances in the Socialistic idea. The address was we'll received and represented the higher ideals of the doctrine.

GEORGE RAINEY INJURED.
Scafrolding Fell While He Was
 Painting at Scoggin's Mill.

George Rainey, who is employed as a planer feeder at the Scoggin Lumber Company's mill, was badly injured Tuesday morning when a scafTold on which he was stand
 ing fell to the ground. His left leg was broken just above the ankle and his mouth was badly cut. The planer was not running Tuesday and Mir. Rainey was painting the end of the boiler room. Im- mediately after the fall the other workmen at the mill placed him on a cot and carried him to the office of Drs. Parks and Dunman, where his injuries were treated. The fracture of his leg is serious, and the doctors may not be able to save the leg. \
