HORTICULTURISTS
ARE IN SESSION
IS 32ND ANNUAL MEET
DISPLAY VALUED AT S15O,OOO
AND A RECORD-BREAKING
ATTENDANCE.

Fort Smith, Jan 22.-With display
valued at $150,000 and a record
breaking attendance, the Arkansas
horticultural Society opened its thir-
ty-seeond annual convention yesterday
afternoon. The address of welcome
was delivered by Col j. Frank Mayes,.
and Senator P. A. Rodgers Of Grav-
cite, in responding, gave an outline of
the states fruit production in the last
few years. He valued the horticul-
tural production of the state in 1909
at $4,000, 900.
Secretary Ernest Walker of Fay
etteville. in his annual report, pleaded
for larger membership and a liberal
financial assistance from the state. He
outlined a plan to ask the legislature
for an appropriation for the horticul-
tural department or the state legisla-
ture to make a horticultural survey of
the state and take the place of board
of horticulture, which the legislature
refused to create two years ago. He
also urged a horticultural exhibit at
the Panama exposition, and stated this
matter would be placed before Cover
nor Robinson and the legislature.
President Bert johnson urged bet.
ter organization to handle the fruit
crops, declaring that the growers lost
heavily last year, when they had rec
ord-breaking crops, but had no meth
DDS in disposing of their production.
DR.. j. H. Reynolds, acting president
of the State University, addressed the
convention on the needs of the institu-
ton. His address, in short, was some
what quaint, in that it exposed condi-
ftions at the university that had never
fbeen heard Of before. DR.. Reynolds
devoted his remarks to the states ut
ter neglect for it's chief educational
institution and classed the university
as being extremely poorly supplied
with proper equipment.

ter that the bill was introduced for the
purpose Of consolidating Earle and
Norvel, but it is the general opinion
that Argenta and Little Rock are the
two towns most interested in the bill.
The feature which requires an cleo
tion in each town, where a majority
OF votes must be received in favor of
consolidation before it can take place,
looks as though Argenta is making
sure Little Rock will not take advan-
.tage Of the present law and again
make one city of the two.

SENTIMENT FAVORS
PRIMARY ELECTION
TO SELECT u. s. SENATOR
POPULACE WOULD CALL PRI-
MARES TO INSTRUCT THEIR
REPRESENTATIVES.

Little Rock, Jan. I8.-There ap-
pears to be growing sentiment in va
rous sections of the state in favor Of
a senatorial primary, IN line with the
resolution adopted by the house re-
questing the state central committee
to call such an election. 1t is report
ed here that in several Of the coun-
ties special primaries will be called to
instruct their representatives, and
some declare this can be done on short
notice, before the election of a sena-
tor is taken up on January 28.
Senator CarlLee Of Woodruff county
says that he is receiving strong petit
tons for Robinson, Brundidge and
Norwood, and does not know what to
do. He is anxious that his constitu-
ents hold an eeiction and determine
the question Of preference.
Representative Caldwell of Inde-
pendence was granted leave of ab-
sence Friday to attend a mass meet
ing that is to be called in Batesville
today for the purpose Of considering
the calling Of a special election for
that county.
There is developing spirited con-
test between David l. King of Hardy

remaining short time he could be
there. This period at the Longest
could be only until March 4, or about
80 working days after the change
could be made, allowing q weeks time
for any newly-elected senator to get
ready and get to Washington. So
it can easily be seen that it would
hardly be worth while to make a
change, even if there were any dis
satisfaction about Mr.. Heiskell's re-
naming there Mr. Heiskell is doing
everything in his power for the best
interests Of not only the people of
Arkansas, but Of the entire nation
as well. There is every reason for
retaining Mr.. Heiskell in his present
position and no substantial reason for
not doing So.

Excuses" was the subject so ably
handled by DR.. Goddard at the Metho-
dist church last night. The text was
Luke 14-18, "And they all with one
consent began to make excuse" His
sermon was directed principally to
those without the church, and his
searching questions as to the reason
for the excusesofferedbythe sinner left
them little with which to comfort
themselves. At the close of the ser
vices there were five or six conver-
sions. Services tonight at the usual
hour.

SUPPORTERS OF
ROBINSON HAPPY
OVER DEFEAT OF PRIMARY
RESOLUTION FOR THAT PUR-
POSE DEFEATED IN AR
KANSAS SENATE.

Little Rock, Jan. 21.-The feature
Of yesterdays session of the legisla-
ture was the debate in the senate over
resolution presented by Senators
Going and Lundy, providing that the
state central committee call a pri-
mary next month to nominate a can
didate for United States senator to
succeed the late Senator jeff Davis.
A motion by Senator Covington to
postpone consideration of the resolu-
ton until March was adopted by a
vote of 18 to II. The forces favora-
BILE to Governor Robinson favored the
postponement.
The supporters of Gov. Joe 7. Rob-
inson won a victory Monday morning
when a motion prevailed in the SEN
ate, by vote of Is to II, postponine
further consideration of the resolu-
ton requesting the state Democratic
central committee to call a primary
to settle the senatorial fight. Sena-
tor Webb Covington led the fight to
fpostpone further consideration Of the
motion to March 4, which is conceded
by all to mean the same as indefinite
postponement, and in a speech charac
terized throughout by bitter invective
and ridicule, he attacked the resolu-
tion and its supporters.
Senator Covington declared the res
olution was in direct conflict with the
act of congress which requires that
each state legislature ballot on the
candidates for United States senator
the second Tuesday after the meeting
and organization of the legislature.
The resolution requested the state
Democratic central committee to call
primary to settle the race for Unit
ed States senator. 1t provided for the
primary to be held not earlier than
February 25 and not later than Feb
ruary 2s, 1918.
The vote on the motion made by
Senator Covington was as follows:
Ayes-Calvert, Christian, Clerget,
Covington, Deaton, Futrell, Great
house, Harris, Hughes, jacobson,
Martin, Miles, McBee, Mccall, Over
man, Smith, White and President Old
ham.
Noes-CarlLee Ashley, Ferguson,
Friedell, Going, Holt, Lundy, Moore,
Owens, Phillips, Raney, Rodgers OF
Howard, Rogers of Benton, Toler,
Wagner, Wasson and Woods.
Immediately after the reading Of
the journal, Senator George L. Chris
tian, the only member of the Bull
Moose party in the Arkansas senate,
called up senate concurrent resolution
No. 5, which requests the state Demo-
cratic central committee to call pri-
mary to settle the race for the sena-
torial toga. Senator Webb Covington
moved to postpone further considera-
tion of the resolution until March A..
The fight continued until 11:45
o'clock, when a message from the gov
ernor announced he would deliver to
the joint session of the general assem-
| bly, a message at 2 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon.

Conway, Ark, Jan. p, 1913.
To the Hon. Eugene Lankford. Judge
of the 18th Judicial District:
We, the grand jury, empanelled to
serve at the January term of the
Faulkner circuit court, beg leave to
submit the following report, to-wit:
We have examined G3 duly subpoe-
naed witnesses and have heard eight
voluntary witnesses. We have re-
turned II true bills and dismissed 10
cases, six Of which were referred to
this grand jury from the July term,
1912.
COUNTY JAIL
Committee appointed to visit and
examine the county jail report that
they found it in a reasonably good
condition, with the exception of the
water tank and toilet room. They rec
ommend that the water tank be re-
paired or a new one put in at once.
We further recommend that the toilet
room be furnished with new fixtures
and put in a better sanitary condi-
ton.
COURTHOUSE.
We find the courthouse in good re-
pair as far as we We're able to tell,
and in more sanitary condition than
in the past. We would respectfully
suggest to the court that the vault
that we now have for the protection
of the public records for this county
is wholly inadequate for the increas-
ing volume of business, and would
suggest that the present vault either
be enlarged to at least twice its size
or that the present vault be given
over to the county clerk for the stor-
ing of the county court and tax col
lectors records and that an entirely
new vault be built for the circuit
court and recorders records.
POOR FARM.
-
just on the eve of our adjournment,
we did not visit the poor farm. The
records show that there are only two
inmates on the farm and that j. l.
Holt is the keeper Of the same. We
find that he has filed his bond and
contract and that they have been ap-
proved by the county court.
COUNTY OFFICERS.
We have carefully examined the re-
ports of the county officers, the re-
port of the justices of the peace and
cOnstables of the county, and find that
the justices of the peace have made
their reports and that the cOnstables
have PAID IN the money as the law re-
quires.
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
We find that the public roads are
in reasonably good condition for
this season of the year, except in a
few places. We find that since the re-
cent heavy rains that many Of the
small bridges and culverts have Deen
damaged and some washed away. We
recommend that the road overseers
look after this part of their work as
soon as they possibly can.
! We desire to return our thanks to
tAe court, prosecuting attorney and
the county officers for their courtesies
and assistance during our short ses-
sion.

SENATE PASSES
UNEVENTFUL DAY
ONLY LOCAL MEASURESUP
ADOPTS RESOLUTION DEPLOR
ING DEATH OF LATE SENA-
ATOR DAVIS.

Little Rock, Jan. 22-Apparently
with the life knocked out Of the body
through a skirmsh over the employ
ment of an additional stenographer,
and at time when idle stenographers
already employed sat about the room,
the senate listlessly Tuesday after
noon passed the time away on local
bills and minor affairs.
The only important measure of the
afternoon session was the adoption Of
a resolution of house concurrent reso-
tuition No. 9, by Doyle, deploring the
death of the late United States Sena-
tor Jeff Davis. Senator Charles Ja-
cobson, for number of years private
secretary to Senator Davis but who
later parted political company with
his former chief, delivered a very pa
thetic eulogy on the deceased senator,
telling of incidents in which Jeff Da-
Wis asserted his true self, and charac-
terizing him as a man sincere Of pur-
pose, though he many times appeared
to be insincere. He stated that the
love of Jeff Davis for the common
people was not polit cal thunder, but
It came from the heart. He also spoke
of the supreme confidence Of the form
er governor and senator, saying he
never went into campaign without
the belief he was going to win, and
was able to convince all with whom he
came in contact that he would tri-
umph. Senator jacobson further stat
ed that Senator Davis, as little as
many people believed it, was a deep
thinker, and was supremely happy
when alone, looking out a window, see
ing nothing and busy with his
thoughts.
Only once in the afternoon did the
senate take on a flash of its morning
fighting form, that being when Sena-
tor Martin arose and called for senate
concurrent resolution No. 4, which
called attention to the fact that there
was supposed to be only 60-day ses-
sion, and with the senate entertaining
local bills, too much valuable time
would be wasted He asked that this
he disposed of, and it was-tabled "a
to 6, showing that practically all the
senators have local bills they wish to
pass sooner or later A motion was
made to amend to consider only local
bills which had been advertised in
their counties for thirty days prior
to the convening of the General AS
fsembly, but this, too, failed.
On motion of Senator Holt cc..:-
nittee of seven, three from the senate
and four from the house, was provid-
ed to visit the State Normal.
The bill introduced by Senator Carl
Lee, giving the owners of the river
bank on a navigable stream the right
to operate ferries and to make landing
on the opposite bank, even though the
land is not owned there by them, was
passed.
Senator McBee called back his bill
for the consolidation of towns ada
cent to each other, providing for a
special election in each town before
consolidation could be made, for an
amendment. He was granted the
privilege and tackled on a provision
which made the bill apply only to
Crittenden county He explained la
