RECEIVE SEWER
 BIDS TOMORROW
MANY BIDDERS IN CITY
SYSTEM ESTIMATED TO COST / ABOUT s4O,OOO TO BE CON-
 TRACTED FOR.

Bids tor the$ construction of the sewer system to be installed by Sewer improvement District No. 1 of Con- way will be received up to 1 o'clock D. n. tomorrow, at the office of R. W Roolns, attorney for the district. Probably a score of bidders have al ready arrived in the city, and the in dlcatIons are that there will be an un- usually large number of bids submit ted. On this account it is probable that the commissioners will be unable to determine the successful bidder he- fore Friday.
 The proposed system embraces practically all the built-up section of the city of Conway, only the outlying lands within the limits being omitted from the district. It will really be two complete systems, embracing the two drainage areas of the city, the di- vlding line of which is, roughly, a line drawn north and south through the city and passing through the court house. All sections west of this line will empty it's sewage into a septic tank to be constructed at the extreme southwestern corner of the city limits, while the eastern system will drain in- to tank to be built in the south eastern corner The engineer, Prof. G. H. Burr, has estimated the cost of the system at about S40,OOO.
 The board of commissioners, who will award the contract for the sys- tenn, is composed of J. w. James, chairman, H. B. Ingram and s. E. Anderson.
 The assessments for the district were filed with City Recorder Opie Hartje Saturday, and will be open for the inspection of interested prop erty owners for period of 10 days. Up to today no complaints of the as sessment had been filed with the re- corder

"SWAT THE FLIES" IS
 LITTLE ROCKS SLOGAN

Little Rock, June 4.-The swat the-fy" movement has reached Little Rock overnight, and everywhere the fiy-swatters are at work. Many of the local stores are giving away advertis- ing matter in the shape of fiy-swatters and nine-tenths of the boys on the streets are making use of them. They have swatted to the left of them, they have swatted to the right of them, but the ignoble insect marches onward, for there seems to be an inexhaustible supply in Little Rock. The fronts of many white buildings are well spotted with dead flies, but no one seems to object, just so long as the number of live disease-spreaders is diminished.

NEXT PREMIER
Son of Former Miss Jerome, of
New York, Considered for
Unionist Ministry.

London, December -o.-Thero is a
great possibility that the next Prime
Minister OF Great Britain will be tho
son of an American woman.
That man is Winston Churchill, now
First Lord OF Admiralty. the son OF
Lady Randolph Churchill. formerly tho
beautiful Miss Jennie jerome. Of New
York.
Not that Mr.. Asquith contcmplates
voluntarily relinquishinR tho burdens
of the Office of the Premier much
as 1t Is said would like to do so. Ito
ia not the kind of man, to quote
Abraham Lincoln, ito swap horses In
midstrcam." Mr. Asquith will sec tho
homo-rule bill passed finally into oper-
alton next April. or he will dle with
his cabinet lighting In tho attempt.
But there is one thing certain Ito
does not want to do, and that is to
make fresh appeal to tho country
on tho homo-rule question. If forced
to do so--and many believe this event
will DO inevitablc-it is almost certain
that a Unionist government will be re-
turned, and with It Winston Churchill
at Its head.
For a long time tho signs have been
wanting TO show which way tho wind
IS blowing for tho adventuresome
young FIRST lord Day by day political
events multiply to show that he is
getting restless In the ranks of tho
Liberal party, and at the Same tlme
lHc hlNerul party IS becoming hiEhlN
nervous about him. Mr.. Churchii's
yachting trips with Austen Chamber
lain. his frequent dinners with r. II.
Smith, who is one of the prime pal
hopes of the Unionists: his weck-ends
with his cousin, tho Duke OF Mari
borough, whose anxiety to hold office
In tho next Unionist government is al
most painful TO behold-all tell their
tale OF the trend OF Churchill. besides
proving very trying to radical nerves.
1t is not that these social emcnitics
arc In themselves disturbing. but re-
inforced by other signs. they beto6en
coming alienation from the advanced
Liberal policy. Since his transfcrrence
from the Homo Oflce TO the Admiralty
they are constant source OF glowing
irritation TO his party, Coupled with
this is Mr. Churchilrs well-known
penchant foralways being on the
winning side and the fact that the
Unionist party needs him badly.
Rcbukes of different kinds have
from time to time. been addressed to
Mr.. Churchill by the various party or
gans. He has been rcprovcd oven for
taking Il trip In an aeroplnne. Others
have commented on HE spacious Ideas

This policy is TO DO one OF ncgotia-

one conversant with the laws of the
land knows that In no individual is
vested the right to bind the govern
inent TO any specification
but this Is of less Significance in
itself than IS tho fact now established
that the administration has declared
itself regarding its attitude toward
Zig business generally.
When the Department OF Justice
wants 10 find out whether amy corpo-
ration is doing something it has no
business to do, all that is going to hap

not end with tho Attorney General.
The President became interested. He
expressed approval OF our attitude in
tho premises. And the result was even
more fortunate than We could have
hoped. Instead OF being obliged TO de-
