The rioting at a negro picnic on the upper Ouachita rlyer recently that re. suited in one negro losing his life and in others being injured. has been in- vestigated thoroughly by Sheriff Viii Hams, who announces that he has made some arrests in connection with the Illegal sale of liquor phase of the case. and that if the charges are sus- tained he will ask the highest punish ment under the law for those guilty ol the charges.
 T have been at work investigating as to who was selling the liquors at the negro picnic" said Sheriff Will lims yesterday, and am satisfied that 1 have the proof. And l will try to have the highest punishment under the law applied for the guilty if their guilt is established"
 Sheriff Williams stated that there has been "bootlegging" in a small way around both the outskirts of the city and the country for years, and ac- cause of the very sly methods of the operators, it is always difficult to get proof. In this instance the sheriff had some special men to make an IT, vestigation, and he states that he has secured some very strong evidence as to who supplied the liquors which were sold illegally at this negro gath ering, and that he will have his case ready to present in Justice Afford s court when the cases are called.

That even under the stress of con ditions relative to war prices the fc tail merchants were selling under lower margins of profit than ever be- fore, largely because of the benefits they have derived from a mutual pro lection against losses in bad credits. was the statement of President Dave Dodd before the Merchants Associa- ton last night.
 Mir Dodd stated that as the valna of credit has gone up the bad bills and the losses have gone down aad that previous to the adoption of the rating system whereby bad credits could be eliminated, unbelievable losses had been sustained by the III r. chants of this city. He spoke also of the inadequate protection the mer- chants had in the matter of enforcing collections by law. The garnishee was not equal to the occasion, and the retailer had practically no recourse at law.
 He declared also that whie the re tailers were making their collections under the new system their own rating with the jobbers and manuidc- turers was much better and they We're thereby enabled to enjoy advantages that in the end favored the consumer o. patron of the retailer.
 The secretary of the organization brought up a contention he had with the s. and $ firm in which it was complained of that the cashier of the latter firm had laughed scornfully in his face" The matter of the insult had been taken up by committee, and cOuid not De adjusted by apology. The controversy has been taken up with the Chicago office.
 The secretary also took gratutous umbrage at an editorial of The Senti- nel-RecOrd which after rectng some previous history, recommended that alleged discrimination between con sumers as between consumer and job ber, be adjusted without further agi- tation. The actual tenor and purIo @ of the editorial was explained to the association in an apparently satistac- tory manner.
 The matter of the price the retailers were to pay for oil was taken up but was deferred. The retailers are not satisfied with the prices they have quoted because of other cities within nearby radius receiving over prices and being enabled to sell to the retail trade at lower rates.
 President Dodd named some com mittees for matters before the organ ization. including a membership com mittee and an executive committee.

USE WOOD BLOCKS
 ON VALLEY STREET
COMMITTEE SELECT THE STYLE OF PAVING TO BE USED
 FOR TWO BLOCKS.
Matter of Paving the Remainder of the Street Win Not Be Taken Up Until the Railroad Commission has Acted.

Yesterday the committee of prop erty owners who are looking to the paving of the two blocks of Valley street between Reserve and Bridge streets selected wood blocks as the style of paving that would be used The wood blocks will be used from the curbing to the street car rails on the outside, but the regular hard brick paving wifi be used between the rails.
 The matter of the paving of the other part of Valley street extending to the Iron Mountain depot will not be taken up at this time, because of the fact that it has not been decided as yet whether the freight switch will be left there. This point is to be decided by the Arkansas Railroad Commission. which makes a visit to this city at l0 o'clock this morning to investigate the contention.
 The paving of the two blocks of Valley street on the north end will be done before the state fair. MessrG Williamson and Callahan want to let the contract immediately and have the contract call for the immediate construction of the improvement The street when paved. will materially in crease the value of the adjoining property. as 1t will turn much of the traffic from the congested part of Centra avenue on the back street
