PUBLICITY BILL
Measure Will Save State Thousands
 of Dollars.

Little Rock. May 6.-Great ac- tivity is disllayed this week in the newspaIer publicity bill which the pres, of Arkansas seeks to initiate, and unless there are many who fail to do their duty, a sufficient numl CT of names will be Is:.-1 s:,c1 hv satI1 .ay night to insure this bfll being submitted to the yot= CTS Of the state.
 This bill will. of course, De of bene- fit to the newspapers, but the bene- if to them is infintessimal compared to what it will do for the tax payers Iof the state The bill will give to the newspapers of Arkansas possibly g. 0000 a year, and save the tax payers several million. The newspa- pers are required to print the pro ceedings stated in the bill, at rates which takes most of the profit out of the publication, so the public is the real gainer.
 The greatest benefit of the bill Is that if adopted by the voters at the next general election, 1t will entire
 y do away with tax lodging No longer will the man with the forty acres and a mule bear the burden of thing just the same, but the big fei- -iJSr-&ba- secures the services of the him how to dodge taxes, must now step up and bear his portion, thus re- q icing the rate of the little fellow. This is accomplished by the county judge being required to publish re- ductions in taxes, and the county boards of equalizations must do the same. This will force the county boards and judge to explain to the people why big corporations are ia property owners, and no member of such board. or county judge, will sub init to such criticism. He will not make reductions and thousands ot acres of land will be taxed at the same ratio as that Of the poor man. This law should put s500,o annual ly into the state treasury, and many times that amount into the treasur- ies of the various counties.
 There are many other good features lfr the bill, such as a public account in, by special improvement district Do; rds, semi-annual published state Ine1ts of the financial condition of cfties and towns, but the thing of real interest to the property owner is tie death knell to tax lodging which will be sounded by this bill if the 'oters adopt it

TWO BASE BALL CANES
Alumni 6, High School 5.

The above tells in a few words the result of the best ball game seen in Springdale in several seasons; a game full of dash and ginger from the very start, and the score always close enough to make it interesting. In the first inning the Alumni scored two runs, as a result of three two- baggers. by the heavy hitting end of the Alumni batting list, and 1t looked as if the High School lads were to be sWamped. Clever work by the High School lads soon forged them ahead, a number of errors by the Alumni assisting materially. The game was tied until the first half of the ninth, when pinch hit, and an error, gave the Alumni the winning run
 The feature of the game was the pitching of the Thompson brothers. and the home run of Buck" Thomp- son, which tied the score. In the pitching end, the steadier game was pitched by the younger brother while the elder showed only flashes of fast form. Following was the line up of he two teams: High School: Rugle c Thompson D. R. Stafford 1st b, Gra- ham 2nd b, Russom 3rd b. Tillman ss Ewing If, Smith of, Sanders rf Alumni: Tillman c. Thompson p, G.. Stafford 1st b, F. Stafford 2nd b, I. Carter 3rd b. D. Carter ss, H.

SENATORIAL CONTEST
Congressman Floyd Probable Chair
 man of Convention.

Little Rock, May 6.-War clouds, mine warfare and athletics have shadowed the Senatorial contest dur ing the past week, but the forces are silently, yet diligently going ahead with their work. Senator Clarke is in Washington, but he has daily checking over the. list of dele gates to the State Democratic Con- vention. Judge William F. Kirby, who makes the contest, declines to discuss the matter, but the fact that he has not yet returned to his dut- ies on the bench of the Supreme Court, is taken for ample evidence that he is very busy preparing for the state convention.
 There are 629 delegates to the con vention, and Clarke supporters claim there are fully 430 of these in favor o1 the candidate declared the nominee by the state committe. A Kirby ad- wiser made the statement recently that Judge Kirby has a slight major ity in the convention.
 So keen is the interest that it is probable that few proxies will be presented at the Pine Bluff conven- on June 5, for all the delegates will be on hand.
 Senator Clarke is expected to re turn to Little Rock about May 25 and begin his preparations for the con- yention It is authoritatively stated that Congressman J. c. Floyd of Yell vile will be the choice of the Clarke men for permanent chairman of the convention No one has been men, toned for the place of temporary chairman by anyone connected with either headquarters, but several dele gates have suggested the name of Vincent NJ. Miles, a young attorney of Fort Smith, and a strong support CT of Senator Clarke The Kirby forces have remained silent as to their favorites for convention off cers, but they will prepare a slate, and the first test of strength will be in the selection of a presiding off. 'eer. The temporary chairman is selected by the State Democratic Cen tral Committee, and MT, Miles is a member of that body.
 Because of the great interest in the state convention. Pine Bluff will be crowded that week, and many are no' lreserving their hotel accommodations in order to escape a night under a tree, due to the overcrowded condi- tions of the hotels at that time.

 Near lilburn.

Clyde Cole. aged twenty nephew O. t. A. BoIes with whom he resided on the old SBkelton farm, one and one half miles From Fayetteville, was late yesterday Afternoon drowned in Skull Greek neak Lilburn, two miles north ef here While attempting to ford the stream W hich was greatly swollen due to the he1vy rain.

He sFates that the swift current swept the wagon and team down stream until it lodged against the pIers of the Frisco Bridge. There he young man walked out on the -ongue of the wagon to cut the har- ness from his team i'll order that the horses could swim ashore. However, he extrieated only one of the animals before he himself was swept from kils feet and carried violently down the stream One of the horses swam alhore and the other was drowned.
 As Cole was being carried down ,e stream he clutehed at oyerhang-
 s limbs and twigs and according to t te witness who was some distance agay, the drowning man very nearly saved himself several times.
 Carlisle ran to his rescue but ar lived within striking distance only in time to see Cole make his last effort to grasp limb which he missed by few inches only Then, as if he had spent his last bit of energy, he Sank.
 The tragedy occurred at o'clock and the body was not recovered until six o'clock about three quarters of a mile down the stream, when it was brought to Fayetteville to J. F. Moore's Undertaking Establishment.
 The deceased is survived by both parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cole, of sharon, Pennsylvania. Funeral ar engagements have not been announced. Fayetteville Daily.

Tolls. The negative team won the
debate by two to one decision. The
negative team was right on deck all
the time and came back at the af-

teams did exceedingly fine work and
the only regret is that there was no

The Negative team is as follows
Earl iShurtlefff, Charles Davis ant

The crowd was absolutely the poor
est we have ever had for anything OF
this kind. Really it is shame and
4 disgrace to this High Schoo
that no more students were present.
There were only twelve High School
students present. Think of it. There
are some two hundred students in
the High School and only twelve OF
them that have spirit enough to at
tend this debate and boost for their
school. OF the boys who represent
the High School in athletics, only
playing football, basketball or base
ball they continually howl support as
they should, but when it is an activ-
ity out of their line they say, ooh
don't care to go to that Debate
doesn't interest me-" and they stay
away.
How long do you suppose they
would stick to their game if every
one said the same thing. We must
have the support of the student body
bf we expect to win. We can never
expect to win any great honors in
athletics or any other activity until
we get rid of this selfish attitude
that prevails in our High School. We
must work together and stick togeth-
er to the last ditch.
1t is not all intentional, of course,
but we seem to have dropped into a
nut and stuck there. Let us wake
up and get little pep"
