In the northern district Senator I.
J. Raney of Independence county,
sought to have the eertifjeation delay
ed pending the result Of second prl-
mary in Arkansas county which he re
quested the state committee to order
owing to the fact that Raueys name
was left off the ballots in several pre-
cincts
Chairman Walls ruled this resolu
ton out of order on the ground that
the matter rests wholly With the
Democracy OF Arkansas county On
the face of returns which had been
certified TO the State Committee I l.
Wood of Mariana, publisher of the
Lee County Courier and president Of
the Arkansas Press Association, was
shown to have a plurality over Soma

son and Mississippi, had not officially
reported on this race. but it VAS
known that Senator Raney had carried
both these counties by majorities
which reduced Woods lead to approXi5

Woods plurality in Arkansas county
was approximately 700 leaving him Il
little over 400 head with the entire
vote of Arkansas county thrown out
His friends took the position that since
Mt Wood was proven to have had no
hand in the omission of Raney's name
from the ballots in a single precinct, it
was hardly fair now 10 force him TO
the expense and trials of second pri-
mary. especially since Major Bellamy
would hardly be a factor in the race
owing to the fact that he was known
TO be defeated.
The vote in the precincts where Ra

little over SO per cent of the county 5
total vote, and the total vote in those
precincts where Raney's name did not

FOREST NOTES

The Massachusetts, forestry
association offers as prize the
planting of fifty acres of white
pine, to the town which gains first
place in contest for town forests.
The Boise national forest in
Idaho had 80 fires during the past
summer, yet % were held down to
less than 10 acres, and of these Is
were less than one-quarter of an
acre. The supervisor says this
success was due to a lookout tower,
and to efficient telephone and
heliograph service.
Because of the war, English
manufacturers and consumers OF
pulp wood have caused consider
able uneasiness. Production is at
a standstill in the countries at war,
and in Norway and Sweden, prin-
cipal sources of supply, mills have
been greatly hampered because OF a
lack of coal and of chemicals.
England has practically no domes-
tic sources of pulp.

SPEECH IN PLI0CENE PERIOD
Communicating Ideas Was Then
In Existence.

The remarkable conclusion has
been arrived at, by putting two and
two together in high expert pro-
nouncements, that man had the
power of speech a million years ago.
This important point arises out of
the address delivered before the Dub
lin Royal society by Prof. Arthur
Keith on the ancient Pitsdown skull
known as the Eoanthropos Dawson.
If it be granted that Professor
Keith is right in fixing the date of
the Eoanthropos as Pliocene, and
that Professor Elliot Smith, who
also examined the discovery, is right
in interpreting the features of the
brain as indicative of speech, the re-
markable revelation is made that
mankind in the Pliocene period, a
million years ago, or even more, had
the power of forming and communi-
eating ideas by means of speech.

The Trey O. Hearts

This popular picture play began
its run at the Elco Theatre with a
matinee yesterday afternoon and
three shows in the evening to a
crowded theatre each performance.
Two reels of this highly interesting
play will be given every Thursday
evening. The Miner sent out 1900
papers last week containing the
opening chapters of the story and
another installment appears In this
weeks issue. Our story is just a
week ahead of the pictures and
those interested can keep in close
touch with the play by reading the
story in the Miner.
The nineteenth number of the
Million Dollar Mystery" given at
Opera House Monday evening was
pronounced one of the best sections
of this interesting picture play.
The play is beginning to close and
only a few more numbers will be
given before the mystery will be
cleared. The other offerings at
the Opera House have been good
all week.
"Seven Days" is the feature film
in three parts at the Elco next
Tuesday evening. This is a
comedy and guaranteed to drive
away the blues.
For Christmas night the Elco
will show an Essanay feature in
three parts entitled "Mongrel and
Master" This is recognized as a
powerful political drama of import
ance and is interesting from start
to finish.

TENNYSONs LUCKY STROKE
Ambiguity Won for Him Cow
eted NewdIgate Prize

The story of how Lord Tennyson
won the Newdigate prize at Oxford
is worth telling again. Three ex-
aminers were selected to pass judg-
ment on the competitors efforts, and
the last of these, to whom Tenny-
sons poem, "Timbuctoo" was sub
mitted, being of an indolent dispo-
sition, and seeing what he took to be
the letter 'sg," signifying 'sgood," ap-
pended to several lines, affixed, with
out troubling to judge for himself
the merits Of the work, similar
mark of approval, and thus secured
for the future laureate the coveted
prize. That same evening the three
examiners met.
"Whatever," abruptly demanded
he whose task it had been first to
read the poem, "made you think so
highly of young Tennyson's effort p
"Why," cried the others, in uni
nimity of surprise, eve only fol-
lowed your lead. You were forever
marking the lines with 'g.'"
GA 'g'!" cried their colleague.
"That wasn't 'g'-that was a note
of interrogation to signify that for
the life of me I couldn't make out
what the fellow meant"

NEW IDEA SEEMS GOOD ONE
Various Forms Of Insurance Might
Tend to Lessen the Horrors Of
the Modern Picnic,

Over in England new form Of
insurance has been devised. Per-
sons intending to 60 on holiday trips
may take out policies indemnifying
them against loss or damage or dis
appointment due to rainy, stormy or
unpleasant weather. Novel idea,
isn't it? In this country no such
insurance is yet obtainable- be-
fore long the idea may be imported
and improved. There may be spe-
cial policy devised, for instance, for
picnickers to indemnify them for the
pies used as cushions, for the discom-
forts of anthills as headrests when
sprawling on the more or less green
sward and for the consequences of
using a chaplet of poison ivy leaves
instead of the laurel of renown. Or
policy may be gotten up to insure
the holder against the sudden deci-
sion of the boss that the holiday
must be postponed so that he may
himself go to the ball game-or to
pay the doctor for attending little
Johnny for injuries and pains re-
sulting from raiding the green-apple
supply in the farmers orchard-or
the like. And when this form of in
surance is general and popularized
some of the drawbacks to picnicking
and holidaying will be more or less
quashed, won't they?
