Accompanied by Coach Sam Scott
the High School basketball aggrega-

committee of awards which selected a
design for one at meeting in the of
flce of the secretary of state Thurs

ASSOCIATION MEETS

The directors of the Faulkner
County Fair Association met last
night at the office of Bahner & Co.
Nearly all of the directors were pres
ent. Caspar Dunn was not able to at
tend, owing to recent illness. The
date for holding the next annual fair

ton at once. The selection of man

thusiastic over the work already ac-
complished by the fair association

ter things for the 1913 fair.

SENATE PASSES
LEFTOVER BILLS
FOURCHE DRAINAGE BILL
WAS REPEALED, AFTER MUCH
DISCUSSION FOR AND
AGAINST THE BILL.

Little Rock, Feb. 13.-While the
records for Thursdays session of the
senate will not show such a volume of
business as the preceding day, the
members of the body put in some ov-
ertime and removed from the calen-
dar another vexatious bill, repeating
the act of 1907, creating the Fourche
Drainage District. The most of the
morning had been spent in passing
bills introduced the day before and
made special order for Thursday con-
sideration, when Senator Miles arose
and called up his bill, repeating the
act, returned by the judiciary COM
mittee without recommendation. Then
followed a series of fireworks which
continued until after o'clock in the
afternoon, Senator Miles of Pulaski
making the principal speech for the
repeal of the act, while his colleague,
Senator Jacobson, was the chief op-
ponent of the bill.
This bill was as strongly agitated
on the floor and in the lobbies as the
st. Francis Levee District bills, and
practically every member of the SEN
ate took a whack at it one way or the
other before the roll was finally call
ed. The district was created to drain
large tract of land adjoining Little
Rock, and contracts let, besides much
work done on the district. The prop
erty owners in that section objected
to the assessments, more than to the
work, which all agreed was for the
good of the city.
Several amusing things took place
in the debate When it came time for
Senator Miles to close the debate,
Senator Clerget asked to make few
remarks. Though he had but 80 min
utes, Senator Miles yielded 10 min
utes of the time to the senator from
Conway county, expecting him to ia
vor the repeal of the measure, but
Senator Clerget took up 16 minutes in
arguing in favor of the district as it
stands. In the closing argument of
Senator Miles, he remarked the as
.sessment on one piece of property was
so great it would force the widow who
owned it out of possession. He was
asked the name of the widow, and
could not give it, but from the crowd
about the aisles, Mrs Fletcher rose
and stated she was the woman, and
proceeded to give her views upon the
assessments in the district
The vote stood 20 to 13, in favor of
repeating the act.
Senator Oldham introduced a road
district act for Lonoke county, allow
ing it to take the place of one already
introduced.
Senator Martin next introduced a
resolution, asking that the joint
finance committee be requested to re-
turn the deficiency bill which makes
appropriation to pay salaries for de-
partment clerks who have worked on
after Governor Donaghey vetoed ap-
priations for their salaries two years
ago. This resulted in an argument
which lasted until o'clock adjourn
ment, the finance committee keeping
the bill.

Illinois Drys Triumph

Chicago. Nov. 5. Sweeping
victories for the dry forces of III
inois were shown in figures COM
pleted today in cities and towns,
where women voted for the first
time upon the question of per-
hitting saloons in their commu-
mites. Twenty-eight towns in
which saloons are established
went over to the drys. Ten cit
les and villages already dry were
kept in the dry column. The
vets won five towns which were
already wet. In Carter, Calhoun
county, which is now wet, the
vote was a tie. In most instan-
ces the women came in with over
whelming votes against saloons.

Sulzer Elected and INDICATED

New York, Nov. a. VIM.
Sulzer, ousted from the governor
ship of New York last month by
a verdict of a high court of i'm
parchment. was elected to the
state assembly today from the
Sixth district by a sweeping plur-
atty estimated at an emily hour
at 1000 or more.
He ran on the Progressive tick
ct and apparently polled more
votes than his Democratic and
Republican opponents combined.
His old neighbors on the East
side rallied strongly TO his sup
port and it was early apparent
that he had swamped the opposi-
ton.
There was jubilation unbound
ed in the former governors
headquarters as the count began
to record his victory.
Sulzer himself was all smiles.
He regarded his triumph as a per-
sonal vindication, he said, and is
sued a statement thanking his
supporters and scoring Chas. F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall, whom he declared was con-
demned by the vote that gave the
district William Sulzer as it's rep
resentative at Albany.

Cider Causes Trouble

Postmaster General Burleson
has another West Virginia prob
lem on his hands, which proba-
bly, will not be so easily settled.
The postmaster at West Union.
Dodridge county, has reported
that package was left at his of
flee for shipment by parcels post.
1t was not until after the shipper
had left the Office that the post
master discovered that the pack
age was a jug and its contents
were hard cider. Under the reg
ulations of the department the
cider is unavailable. The owner
is unknown so he cannot be mott
fed to call and get it and so far
as it is officially stated it is not
wanted at the dead letter office,
where it would have to be sold at
auction to the highest bidder, un-
less the contents should leak.
The Postmaster General is now
trying to determine what to do
with the cider, and probably be-
fore he determines what course
to pursue several claimants will
call for the package and request
it's return to them. - Pennsboro

Elevations in West Virginia

AS feature Of its topograph-
ic mapping the United States
Geological Survey has placed
nearly 1900 bench marks in Do
sition in the State of West Vir-
ginia. These bench marks are
stamped with numbers represent
ing the elevations to the nearest
foot as determined by the level
man. AS a means of assisting
engineers and others who have
occasion to use the benchmark
elevations, the Survey has pub
lished q series of bulletins which
give the exact elevations of these
benchmarks and which in them
selves are Of value to those who
desire to ascertain the height
above mean sea level of any Sec
ton OF the State. Bulletin ATT,
one of this series, entitled IRE
suits of Spirit leveling In West
Virginia. 1909 and 191O," con-
tains a list Of approximately 300
bench-mark elevations. The
work during the period covered
by the bulletin was done in cor

Murphy Will Be Ousted

New York, Nov. 5. Voters of
New York humbled ard stripped
Tammany Hall of it's power by
electing Johnny Purroy Mitchell,
the Fusion nominee mayor by a
plurality according to revised re-
turns of about 10000. Mitchel's
strength carried through the bat
tie the Fusion tickets.
Far reaching results are likely
to come from the election. Pre-
dictions are made that the Dem
ocratic organizations in this city
will be completely overhauled and
Charles F. Murphy will be elimi-
mated as political figure in the
future. The toga of leaders is
expected to fall upon the should
ers Of United States Senator
James A. O'Gorman, which
means that the Wilson faction
will assert dominacy.
This will overthrow Murphy.
The Republicans secured control
of the assembly. which will give
that party absolute control of the
next legislature. This puts the
Empire state in position of hav-
ing Democratic executive but a
Republican legislative branch.
