of Rives, Wednesday evening, M. I.
Warren died, having been i'll only few
hours. Mr.. Warren has enjoyed good
health and on Wednesday was feeling
as well as usual and had labored in the
hay field all day and it is thought the
severe heat aud the strenuous days work
caused his sudden death. Late in the

usual hour and ate hearty supper. In
a short time he was taken i'll and died
at 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Warren was 20 years old, and
had been resident Of this section about
30 years, coming here from Humphreys
County, this State.
A wife and one son, Walter Warren,
survive. He was a member OF the
Christian Church, lived right and en-
ioyed the friendship and esteem OF
neighbors and large number of ac-
quaintances throughout the county.
BY hard work and excellent business
management Mr.. Warren had accumu-
lated a goodly share OF this worlds
goods and was the owner Of one Of the
best farms in the State.
Another good substantial citizen is
gone.

BANKERS FIGHT
 ANTITRUST BILL
Oppose Section Prohibiting Interlocking Directorates
 in Banks.

Washington, Sept. 30.-A tentative agreement was reached today by Sen ators Overman and Lewis, represent ing the support and opposition to the provision in the Clayton bill prohib- ting interlocking directorates in banks which, if carried out, will ultl- mately lift all banking legislation out of the antitrust bills and place 1t m the federal reserve act,
 The plan provides for the retention in the Clayton bill of the prohibition against interlocking directorates in banks, but placing it under the super vision of the reserve board with an amendment that it shall not go into effect for two years. There will also be an understanding that the reserve board at the next session of congress will recommend that the provision be repealed, and if it is re-enacted 1t will be made part of the federal reserve act. with such limitation in its opera tions as the conditions of business justify.
 Strong opposition has appeared among the bankers against the plrovi- sion and they have flooded the senate with telegrams for the last few days, denouncing the section as unjust.
 The senate today continued it's dis cussicn of the conference report on the bill. most of the time being taken up by Senator Borah. It is believed a vote will be taken tomorrow.

GERMANS FIND
 CITY DESERTED
Forty Thousand Inhabitants of Alost, Belgium, Aban-
 don City in Body.

London, Sept 30.-The Great, Bel gium. correspondent of the Daily News in dispatch dater Monday, as serts that by order of the military authorities, Alost, town of nearly 10000 inhabitants, was completely evacuated by the civilian population before the Germans took possession of the place Monday.
 "When the Germans enter2l Alost today it was as quiet as ,sepulchre'' says the dispatch. "The German ad- vance guard found the doors of all the houses open, all food in the larders ready to be eaten, all wine ready to be drunk-everything that the army could desire to satisfy it's wants-but the occupants of the houses were missing.
 Imperative orders came Sunday night for every person in Alost and surrounding villages to leave on Monday morning for Cheat. Today as far as the eye could see the broad highway teemed with painfully mov- ing people, and here tonight are many lhousands of item l. sroe1 on straw in the Palaise de Fetes."

 Coach Working Rapidly.

The opening game of the local foot ball season will probably be played here October 10 With Conway. Enough to show that Pine Bluff will meet Lit tie Rock, Fordyce, Camden, Conway at home, while they play Philadelphia, Hot Springs and Grossett at those cities.
 Football prospects have loomed up at the High school during the past week. More than forty candidates are now reporting for practice Coach Bassett is experiencing consid- erable difficulty with the green" ma terial. Not more than half a dozen have ever played before and this lack of ineXperience is causing the coach much worry.
 The regular team is very light, not weighing over 135 pounds. Jeff Alle,. and Reed Fletcher are doing valuable service in developing the green men so that the regulars may have a tough scrimmage each day
 Colclasure at guard is showing up well for the scrubs and promises to make valuable man for the regulars Harding, new man, has been shifted to the regulars and Is fast. He is be- ing worked on the end. Toney, at quarter, is running the team nicely for one of little experience. He is nervy and has plenty of speed.
 The back field is puzzling the coach. Bays, at fullback, is improving, but Mccain and Hamlin, halves, are both inexperienced, although both are showing good form. Collins and Will Hams are doing excellent work as tackles. considering the little play they have participated in.
 The scrub team is doing good work and is working hard to give the reg ulars fight

GROW NO COTTON
 AT ALL NEXT YEAR
This Is Plan Adopted as Compromise at Southern
 Cotton Conference.

New Orleans, Sept. 30.-Arousing public sentiment in favor of greatly reduced acreage or total elimination of cotton planting next year through the medium of county organizat-> with the ultimate aim of having state legislatures enact laws regulating planting, was the decision of the Southern Cotton convention today, as the best means of meeting the situa- tion caused by the European war. The measure was compromise one, and was unanimously adopted.
 The plan to have county organiza- tions of the Farmers union and the Southern Cotton association 10 obtain pledges from planters signifying they will reduce acreage at least one-half and where possible to have them pledge not to plant at all in 1915. Then the county organizations are re- quested to petition the governors of their states to call special sessions of their legislatures to enact laws prohibiting planting at all or provid- ing for acreage reduction of at least 50 per cent.

MAINTENANCE IS
 BIG ROAD PROBLEM
Unless Best Highways Are Maintained We'll They'll
 Go to Ruin Quickly.

Washington, Sept. 3O.---"Overstop- ping all other problems in it's i'm portance is that of maintenance" says Logan Waller Page, director of the United States office of public roads and president of the American Highway association.
 "rhe destructive agencies of traf- fic and the elements are unceasing in their activities and it is idle to talk of permanent roads any more than to speak of house, fence, or Mir. Page.
 "The public roads today, by reason of the exceptionally destructive traf- fic conditions, are more costly in construction and this is continually increasing with the advance in the prices of labor and material. It is criminally wasteful, therefore, to n- vest large sums of public money in building the highways demanded by traffic, unless the investment is con served by adequate maintenance Without such adequate maintenance road costing anywhere from $5OOQ to $15.OOO per mile may go to ruin
 in a year or two thus involving a permanent loss of considerable mag nitude.
 "When it is considered that tue ag- gregate expenditure on roads ill the United States is we'll over $200,O00,- coo annually, he seriousness of the question is apparent. look to the conference of highway officials which will be held during the fourth Ameri- can road congress. which meets in Atlanta, Georgia on November 9. to devote much attention to road main- tenanCe, end that the accumulatiye

 moral effect of their findings will go far towards bringing legislatures and country boards to a realization of the necessity for prompt and efficient ac- tion. The roads should be classified and suitable maintenance, ill o.gani- zation and money, provided accord ing to the importance of the repre- sentative classes of roads,
 One of the questions which the congress will discuss is that relating to the revision of road laws. A complete compilation Of the road laws of all the states will be avail able for the session devoted to legis- lation and it is expected that in out lining bases for revision, maintenance will be given particular attention.
