BIG FIRE IN
HOT SPRINGS
Six Million Dollars Worth Of
Property Destroyed.

Hot Springs. Ark, Sept. Gov
e1nor Hays offer to send the militia
here to help patrol the fire district
was accepted this morning and two
companies started for Hot Springs.
1t is estimated that the monetary
damage is $4,000, 900, and that $500
people are homeless. Fifty five blocks
were burned. The homeless will be
cared for temporarily in camps near
the city. There is plenty of drink
ing water, but no light or power.
In the path of the flames were man
ufacturing establishments, hotels. a
humber of the more pretentious resi-
dences and public buildings. All
were destroyed. =
So far as can be ascertained there
were no fatalities, and the few that
were hurt suffered only minor in
juries,
Among the buildings destroyed
were the city's light, gas, water and
power plants, the county courthouse,
the high school building, tlis Park,
Moody. Jefferson City and Princess
hotels, St. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern Railroad station and shops,
the Ozark sanitarium, Peoples laun-
dry, Crystal theatre and Biiou ring,
besides a hundred or more smaller
business buildings and man: resi-
dences, incluling some OF the best in
the city.
But few " ihase whose homes
were destroy ID saved any Ut their be-
longings, and guests Of the hotels
gave little h q to the::' valuab!es and
luggage in their efforts to escape with
their lives.
The fire started in negroes cabin
at $3.50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
and swept to the southern extremity
of the city, reducing to smouldsr-
ing mass of wreckage an area more
than mile in length and from seven
to ten blocks wide in the eastern Sec
tion of the city.
The homeless this afternoon had
been cared for in homes and hotels.
A generous downpour of rain aided
the cOnd tions greatly and perfect
order prevails. The citizens of the
city and Governor Hays are aiding
Mayor McClendon in every way in his
effort to right conditions.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE. g
Two Other Subjects Mentioned With
Financial Question.

Baton Rouge, Sept. 8.-FOllOWlng
is the message of Gov. Hall to the
General Assembly:
Gentlemen:-The Board of Liqui-
dation of the State Debt having been
unable. under the stringent restric-
tions and conditions of Article 46 OF
the Constitution, as amended In 1910,
to cOnsummate arrangements for the
retirement of the consolidated bonds
OF the State, maturing Jan. !, 1914.
It has become necessary to refer the
subject matter to the General Assem-
bly, for its consideration and action.
Inasmuch as any other provision for
the settlement of the debt requires
a different constitutional grant of
power and this cannot be seasonably
obtained under the ordinary proceed
ure to amend the constitution. the
necessity for the calling Of consti-
tutional convention is as obvious as
it Is imperative.
Whatever merit there may be in
the suggestion sometimes made that
there is need of revision of our
entire organic law. thera is no serious
division that the con.enticn rendered
necessary at this Linae by the circum-
stances to which reference has iecn
made should be restricted. as far as
possible, TO revision of ii" Consti-
tuition with respect - the debt due
Jan. /, 1914. The solution Of the
debt problem is far too vital to be
retarded or endangered by the many
causes for confusion and Giscord that
would inevitably arise should COM
srSo a$ hA
tion be attempted.
While there may be doubt as to
the power of the General Assembly of
itself to call constitutional conven
tion of limited power, there can be
none as the power of the people to
do SO upon the submission of the Ques-
tion to them by the General Assemb-
TX, But the question .s to the extest
to which the powers of 9 convention
can thus be limited or the method
of limitation is one of law, although
II may involve one of expediency as
we'll.
There are two methods which pro-
sent themselves for consideration.
One is by limiting the convention in
express terms to the specified subject
matter or matters to be considered;
and the other by excluding subject
matters the consideration of which is
prohibited Without undertaking to
give the reasons here, will say that
a careful study of the subject has led
me to the conclusion, and / SO rec
ommend, that the latter plan is the
better 1t is the method adopted in
1906. by which the convention of
1908 was limited. The same result
could thus be accomplished and at
the same time those who might be
disposed to raise some question as to
the legality of conventions, limited
otherwise, would probably be sileneed
by the decision of the Supreme Court
OF this State already rendered.

A Few Words to
Farmers of the
Parish.

The United States Department o1
Agriculture, through the Bureau Of
Plant Industry, has been studying the
needs and condition of the southern
farmer for a number of years and has
had the welfare Of the farmer u
heart all the while. It has sent men
who have tho fundamental princi-
plea Of real farming we'll learned. In
to the weevil infested States to show
the farmer the more scientific way OF
farming, how to get more out Of the
soil at lower cost, how to mix and
use commercial fertilizers judicious-
ly, when to apply, how to properly Be-
lect seed for planting purposes, how
to keep the fields growing good crops
every year.
The department seeks to bring to
your door what has been learned
and successfully tried out by tbs
State experiment stations and CEN
trail government for years, all free
of charge to the farmer.
So, as have been sent here to
take charge of the farm demonstra-
tion work and club work / feel the
respcnsi bility that rests upon my
shoulders and realize that without
your willingness and eagerness to
learn I cannot be of any service TO
you. But IL you will let me, as an
agent of the Department Of AgrteuE
ture, can. Do not think that
have something to sell or some sell
fish motive when l visit your farm,
for it is your welfare that l seek to
help, your interest that I have at
heart, and hope you will at least
give me q chance.
In sections where this work has
been carried out three or four years
great change has come about.
Trees and stumps have disappeared
from the fields and in their places
fine crops grow. Briars and bushes
have been taken from fence corners.
fences made good and straight, bet
ter barns built, houses painted, roads
built, more and finer stock raised,
better schools and churches, and as
a result better living and happier
people.
From time to time l expect to
write a bit in the columns of this
paper, and ask you to read it, and
then II you have any questions per-.
tanning to farming that you wish to
ask me drop me . card or see me IN
town on Saturdays and we will talk it
over. Get your neighbors to take
this paper.
Yours for service.

be directed to head this board, which
generally consists of one to three OF
ficers. 1t is the duty of such board to
personally check over properties of a
company and give proper receipt for
same. The formality of a survey is
authorized by the state military
authorities on various occasions, but
usually on the retirement of a COM
handing officer, so that a successor
will have an official account of equip
ment, such as arms, uniforms and the
like which are owned and granted by
the state, to guide him in assuming
charge of the company. Several months
ago Captain NJ. H. Lyon voluntarily
resigned command of Company after
II years of service to be placed on the

pleted ii is probable that an election
to name a successor to Captain Lyon
will be called.

A Means of Recreation For the Seden-
tary or Bedridden.
Speaking of conjuring, the allied art
of juggling is one OF the most anus
ing and valuable of diversions, espe-
cially to the sedentary. Many physi-
clans become expert in juggling, but it
is to their patients that it is most
useful.
The bedridden. II they retain the use
Of their hands, may beguile many a
weary hour in learning TO keep three
or four tennis balls in the air at once
and in balancing sticks and other sim
pie objects on the fOrefinger or on the
chin.
For the brain worker who does not
care for walking there is no better
us that in cases where there is any
reason to fear some form Of paralysis
the educating of disused cerebral
Ierebellar and spinal centers by the
rapid and complex movements requir.
ed in juggling might serve to act as
an efficient preventive.
We do not wish to claim too much
for manual education of this kind but
we may point out that 1t tends to per.

The Queer Way In Which Crime Was
Brought to Light.
DR.. John Dome. the famous Eng
fish divine and poet, who lived in the
reign of James L, was q verita BILE
Sherlock Holmes. One of his famous
exploits was as follows: He was
walking in the churchyard while a
grave was being dug, when the sexton
cast up moldering skull The doctor
idly took it up and in handling it found
a headless nail driven into 1t.
This he managed TO take out and
conceal In his handkerchief. 1t was
evident to him that murder had been
done. He questioned the sexton and
learned that the skull was probably
that of "a certain man who was the
proprietor of brandy shop and was
q drunkard. being found dead in bed
one morning after night In which he
had drunk two quarts OF brandy.
Had he a wife?" asked the doctor
YES" What character does she
bear?" "She bore a very good charac-
ter, only the neighbors gossiped be-
| cause she married the day after her
husbands funeral She still hses here"
} The doctor soon called on the woman.
He asked for and received the par
ticulars of the death of her husband.
Suddenly opening his handkerchief. he
showed her the telltale nail asking in
loud voice, Madame, do you know
this nail?" The woman was so sur.
prised that she confessed. was tried
! and executed.-London Tit-Bits.
