Forgetting cooperation, forgetting
what the New Orleans gang had done
in the past, forgetting the desolation
and the hungry and unclothed children,
forgetting everything for their own
good and seeing only few pennies
held out by the New Orleans gang, the
rice farmers applauded that statement.
They went home and turned their backs
on the export deal The association
was forced to abandon the Louisiana
State contract. The New Orleans gang
was invited to come forward and give
the bond and finance the export deal.
Where are they? Turned their faces
toward New Orleans and skinned for

anthracite mean?"
That's kind of COAL" said little
Willie.
Yes. Anthracite coal is what we
call hard coal. SO anthracite must
mean hard. Now can you tell me what
bituminous means?"
That's coal, too" Willie replied.
But it isn't the same kind of coal
that anthracite is, is it? Bituminous
coal is what we commonly refer to as
soft coal. Now, Willie, let us see if
you can form a sentence containing
the words anthracite and bituminous."
Willie thought the matter over for
a minute and then said:

REPRESENTATIVE w. B. w. hEARTSlLGS DEATH A SUR-
 PRISE WAR VETERAN
OLDEST MEMBER OF BODY
by Wife and Chidren-Curio Collector

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Representative Wylie Blount Wright Heartsill of Greenwood, Sebasatian county, died unexpectedly here in local hospital.
 When the news of the death reached the statehouse both houses adjourned. When the body was sent to Greenwood In special car a committee from the general assembly accompanied it.
 Representative Heartsill was 72 years old and probably was the oldest member in either branch of the legis- lature. He was born September IS, 1S40, at Louisville, Tenn, and served with distinction throughout the Civil war. During the last three years of the war he was a captain in the Con federate army.
 Mir. Heartsill was elected represen. tative from Sebastian county in 1907 and again in 1909. Then skipping a term, he was elected for the third time in 1912.
 He was studious and read the great CT part of his leisure time.
 He also took an interest in the col lection of antique articles and heir looms, and at the time of his death possessed probably the most extensive and valuable collection of it's kind in the state.
 One article in his collection, prob ably valued by him above all others, is a clay teapot which is perfectly plated with silver. The teapot is known to have been in the Heartsill family for more than GOO years. It is said that the plating of clay with silver is a lost art now
 Representative Heartsill is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Wal ker Gentry and Miss Christine Heart sill and three sons, all of whom live at Greenwood.
