SO-CALLED SOCIALIST
 SPEAKER FINED TWENTY
 FIVE DOLLARS AND COSTS

Yesterday afternoon in Justice Wheeler's court, was held the hearing of w. E. Clark, Socialist speaker who was arrested Sunday night on con- plaint of citizen of Texarkana that he was using obscene language on the streets and that he was disturbing the peace.
 The entire afternoon was taken up with the hearing of the testimony of thirty or more witnesses, who testi- fled as to the language the defendant used and those who favored him.
 The jury which heard the evidence, expressed it's opinion of the remarks alleged to have been made by Clarke, by returning a verdict of guilty and Justice Wheeler wound up the case by assessing a fine of $25 and the costs. The defendant stated that he would file an appeal, but up to late hour last night had not filed an ap- peal bond, nor had he made bond for release from the county holdover, and remained in jail.
 The defendant asked the permis- sion of the court to plead his own case before the jury, but gave the jury a dissertation on Socialism, rather than confining himself to the points of law involved and the evidence in the case, although the court once or twice eau toned him relative to the fact that he was transgressing the bounds of pleading.-Four States Press.

SCHOOL TERM AVERAGE
 SHOWS AN INCREASE
Statistics complied by State Superin- tendent George E. Cook show Average Length of School
 Term Nine Days

Little Rock, Dec. 17.-Statistics complied by State Superintendent Geo. R Cook show that the average length of the school term for the year ending June 30, 1913, was nine days more than for the previous year. The in- crease of approximately two days for the special districts. During the year the average value of school property in the special districts increased $9,- 900. while the increase in the com- mon school districts was less than $50 each. There were nearly 400 more teachers employed in the spec ial districts than during the year be- fore, and a decrease of nearly that amount in the common school dis tricts. Yet there was one teacher for an average enrolment of 39 in the common districts, and one for every 50 enrolled in the special districts The slight decrease in the school term for the BAT special districts, against the marked increase for the 4,758 common districts, is fully balanced by the great increase in buildings and other school property and the in- creased number of teachers in the special districts.
 There is balance of S1,4S0,274.55 on hand to the credit of the various districts. of which 27 per cent is to the credit of the special districts and 7S per cent to the common districts. If the overdrafts of the special dis tricts are considered, without includ- ing their bonded indebtedness, the net balance to their credit is only 13 per cent of the entire amount.
 It is also noted that "A per cent of the school population in the common school districts is enrolled while the enrolment in the special school dis trictS is 62 per cent, but the average daily attendance is 70 per cent of the enrolment in the special districts and 6S per cent in the common districts.
