PULLMAN SCORES PRESIDENT
Declares That Tolls Question Should Not Have Been Brought Up Now

Washington.-Sena Tillman of South Carolina made an unusual speech. vigorously criticising the presi- dent for bringing up the tolls issue before the country at this time and en- dangering the chances of the Demo cratic party in congressional elections next fall
 Senator Tillman announced he would vote for repeal only because he felt the South Carolina Democratic con vention had freed him from the tolls joker in the Baltimore platform.
 Tt staggers my common sense and I have been unable to understand just why he projected the fight on his party al this time" said the senator Tt is of great importance to the Demo cratic party 10 control the house at the next election and I believe the president should have kept quiet until the election was over"
 Until this issue was pressed to the front the course of Democracy had been onward and upward" Senator Tillman declared. There are so many things of more importance that the Democrats ought to do that l must say in my opinion it was a great blum der on the part of the president. The Democratic party, instead of present ing a solid united front. is split into contending factions"

leaf Spot on Strawberries.

There has been complaint in the Judsonia strawberry section about a disease that attacks the berry plant. and Commissioner Page took it up with the [. s. Department of Agricul- ture. He has just received the fol- lowing statement from C. L. Shear, the plant pathologbt:
 This disease is commonly called leaf spot, and is due to parasitic fun. gus. Some varieties are much more seriously affected than others. The Candy is unusually easily attacked Where the trouble is sufficiently i'm portant to justify the expense, the disease may be largely prevented by spraying with Bordeaux mixture in connection with the destruction of the diseased leaves. After the berry crop has been harvested, the leaves may be mown off, raked and burned, and this followerd by a thorough spraying with Bordeaux mixture"

Hocs Crosher Is Endorsed.

State Highway Commissioner Dye IS greatly elated over the incorpora- ion i1 the Democratic State Platform of 2 declaration 10 the effect that We favor tbe operation Of rock crushers oy the State Highway Commission, al which cTushers such state conyicts es are not needed on the state farm may be used.
 Friday afternoon three interventions veer filed in Pulaski circui, court in the case Of the State ys. State High way Com mission. suit brought by in terested parties in the name of the state 10 enloin the operation Of the crusher. These interyen uons are by the directors of Road Improvement District No. in Lincoln county. A. J. Walls. county judge of Lonoke county, and Chas. B. Coe. county judge of Jackson county. Half g dozen will follow Of similar character.
 These interventions ask that the work of crushing rock for the use O.. road builders in the state. commenced several months ago by the State High way Commission, be continued. The following allegations are made:
 That on account of the prevailing high price of rock prior to the crea. ton of the State Highway Commission, and the operation of a rock crusher for the purpose of furnishing crushed stone for road purposes. 1t was i'm possible to buy said rock and carry on said improvements al the exces siye price. placed thereon by rock crushers doing business in the state of Arkan- sas.
 "lnteryenor further states that prior to the establishment of the rock crush. CT and it's operation by the State Highway Commission, - county and the various road districts therein were compelled to pay 10 the rock crushers then in operation their fixed price ranging from s1 to SIPS per cubic yard for all rock purchased for the construction and maintenance of pub lie highways in said county for the construction and maintenance of cul- verts and bridges in said county: that by reason Of such excessive prices said county and road districts were unable to construct permanent rock roads only to limited extent as said prices rendered road building and bridge building almost prohibitive.
 That since the establishment Of said State Rock Crusher by Act of the Legislature and it's operation by the State Highway Commission. - coun- ty and the various road districts there in are able 10 purchase rock for road, bridge, and culvert building purposes at from G cents to 75 cents per cubic yard. and by reason thereof now have in contemplation the repairing and building of certain roads in said coun- ty, as well as the repairing Of cer- tain roads, bridges and culverts"
 It is pointed out that if the com mission be enjoined from operating the crusher. it will greatly inconveni- ence the county and road districts.
