Of Jackson County Fair Asso- ciatiOn- Site Committee Is Named - Organiza-
 tiOn Later.

The Jackson County Fair movement was given further im- petus Monday, when at a meet ing of stockholders held at tre court house, the committee in charge of the sale of stock, was continued in office with full DOW CT and instructions to employ a solicitor or solicitors to present the matter to the farmers and business men of the countW 70 enlist their support of the pro- ject. This committee is conl- posed of w. A. Billingsley, A. T. Hubby and George R. Hays
 A committee of three consist ing of Norman Wolff, c. J. Saen- ger and H. c. Sanders was chos- .en to investigate and report up- on all desirable sites, that might be purchased or leased.
 The sense of the meeting was that the full capital stock of $10,0OO should be sold if possi- ble. Letters were read by Sec retary Hubby from officials of the White County Fair and Craighead County Fair, telling of their methods, rules and suc- cess and offering valuable sug- gestions for the guidance of this association.
 To have fair this year, it is necessary that the organization be completed at an early date, or as soon as the complete list of stockholders can be ascertained and thus given a voice in the or ganization of the assiciatiOn. The meeting was adjourned by Chairman w. R. Harvey until Monday, February ?, the open ing day of circuit court.
 The White County fair has a paid in capital stock of $3,- 1900 and has expended $500 for track, $866 for fences, $2,- 900 for grand stand and exhibit halls, $620 for electrical and plumbing fixtures and $8O for 1 bridges, but in three fairs made enough over expenses to pay the difference between capital stock and total cost of plant. i The Association leased it's grounds for 5 years with re- newal privilege.
 The Craighead County Fair is capitalized at $5,000, of which S3, 800 is paid up. The Associa- tion has partly paid for grounds, it's track costing $952, while fences, seats, office, stalls etc., L nO nOO

Judge Landlord Out Of Race.

JuQSe LuStlt LdllkIO Olu Ol DeVall's Bluff, who intended 70 get into the race for the demo- cratic nomination for congress, from the second district to sue ceed Congressman Oldfeld, has decided not to make the race.
 This information was furnish ed by Judge Lankford, who was in Little Rock Saturday on his way to Hardy, Sharp county, where he convened court today, having exchanged circuits with Judge Meeks.
 Judge Lankford says he has found that he cannot make as thorough a canvass as a con- gressional candidate should make without neglecting his judicial duties and this he declines to do.
 "I think an officer should first comply with the contract he makes with the people when they elect him and prove faith ful to his duty in the office he has before he asks the people for other favors," said Judge Lankford.
 Judge Landlords withdrawal leaves the race to Congressman Oldfeld, who is seeking a fourth term, and Chancellor George Humphries of Fulton county.
 It is evident to the people of this section that the reason for Judge Landlords getting out of the race is not altogether what he states. He says he could not make a thorough canvass of the district, and yet it is re- fected that he had already made a pretty thorough cam- paign of the district before now, and that he could have as much time as either of the other gen. tlemen to make a campaign.
 The fact is that Judge Lank- l ford knew that with Judge Hum phries in the race, he would have little chance in carrying any of the nine counties in Judge Humphries' chancery cir cult, and that he could not be elected without carrying some of them.-Batesville Guard.

CHURCH REUNION

Two Presbyterian Factions in
Scotland May Get Together
Once More.

EDINBURGH, June 27-The re-
cent general assemblies of the two
great factions of the Presbyterian
churches in Scotland-the establish

pendent United Free Church-will be
followed during the year by negotia-
tons which are said to be promising
for union of these rival bodies,
mending an historical quarrel.
Various sects broke away from the
communion Of the state church as far
back as the seventeenth century. the
secession being in protest against the
alleged low moral state of the clergy
and the political system Of the es-

church sought to mend matters In

AMERICAN
Coal Shippers Strengthen Hold
in France and Spain and
Misgivings Are Caused.

LONDON, June 27.-The success,
of American coal shippers in securing
a large portion of the trade OF the
Mediterranean and Strengthening
their hold on that of French and
Spanish ports is occasioning consid-
cradle misgivings among the colliery
and ship owners of South Wales, who
formerly held monopoly Of this
trade. 1t has just been announced att
Cardiff that the Americans have Sc
cured an order for 100000 tons of
coal from the Italian state railways
for delivery during the next six
months, making total Of 300,00Ol
tons for this year. Formerly the whole
supply of these railways was secured
from Wales. The Egyptian state
railways have also bought more ex-
tensively from America this year, di-
verting in this way some $2,500, 0UUI
from South Wales. American coal
cargoes are also finding their way toll
French and Spanish ports with in
creasing frequency.
The high price of Welsh coal and
the cheapening of freights is held re-
spccsible for the change. American
coal can now be delivered at foreign
ports at from fifty cents to a dollar
a ton cheaper than the Welsh product
The Welsh collieries are working to-
their full capacity and are fully
booked for this years capacity, but I'll
is the future which the owners fear,
for the Italian and Egyptian orders
could always be depended upon,
whereas the orders now being filed
are irregular.

farce, "A Pair of Sixes," which

the very best comedies of recent

them of being afraid to take a
gamblers chance, twits them into
an agreement to adjust their
quarrels with the help of two
