Sev- eral cases on the civil docket have al- so already been cleared from the docket.

ELECTION BOARD
 FIGHT CONTINUES FAULKNER CONTEST UP STATE BOARD ASKED TO RE- CONSIDER APPOINTMENTS
 MADE THURSDAY.

From Saturdays Daily.
 The contest for the appointment of election commissioners for Faulkner county for the next two years is- ap- parently not yet over, delegation having called upon members of the State Board of Election Commission CTS yesterday in an effort to have the board reconsider it's appointments made Thursday, according to this mornings Gazette. The personnel of the delegation was not given in the Gazette.
 The fight for the control of the election machinery in this county is |arousing a considerable amount of in terest, although no intimation has been given out of any opposition to the regular Democratic ticket at the Sep tember election. Several weeks ago the county Democratic nominees sign ed a petition recommending the ap- pointment of E.. l.. King and John Lindsey as Democrats and J. M. Browning as the Republican. These appointments, however, were strenu- ously opposed by another faction of the party in this county, composed mainly of Clarke and Robinson SUD- porters, and this contingent recom- mended the appointment of R. B. Townsend, J. N. Legg and John Gar

ret. The opponents of the nominees
 slate are understood to have made an especially hard fight against E. l..
 King, attacking his Democracy.
 When the state board met last We'd nesday a compromise ticket composed of R. w. Robins, J. N. Legg and J. M. Browning was at first agreed upon. While the board was still in session on Thursday, however, MT. Robins ad- vised the members that he would not accept the appointment, and the board was called upon by delegation of the county nominees, who insisted upon the appointment of their origi- nal recommendations After hearing the delegation the board retired and in few minutes announced the ap- pointment of c. w. Clark, John Lind- sey and J. M. Browning. This selec- tion, while substituting MT. Clark in the place of MT. King, was said to be entirely satisfactory to the nominees. But not to the opposing faction. Another delegation interviewed the state board yesterday afternoon and urged that the matter be re-opened for another hearing, when the board meets to complete it's work next Mon- day. Whether or not the Faulkner board will again be changed will be learned at that time.
 The Little Rock correspondent of the Memphis Commercial Appeal sent in the following dispatch with refer ence to the election board contests last night:
 Little Rock, July 17.-Protests arc already coming in to the state election board over the naming of boards in certain counties, and there promises to be some lively delegations on hand Monday, when the board again meets. for the purpose of asking reconsider- ation in some counties.
 This is particularly. true of Faulk- ner county, where parties especially interested in the coming election have protested against the board named and asked for change that will meet thir approval. It is practically certin that some of these protesters will bel down at the meeting of the board Monday.
 The state board will also probably accept the recommendation of the old county board in Hampstead county, where a sharp local fight is on over the county seat removal, as to the ap- pointment of new commissioners. In this way they could not be censured by. either faction.
 While in the opinion of some of the members of the state board, there would be nothing irregular in recon- sidering the appointments already an- nounced in any particular county, still they are much opposed to such pro- cedure and will make no change un- less exceptionally strong reason is shown for such action.

TRAVELLED SOME.

T.C. Beck, Geo. W. Beck. j. B. Ran.
som and R. G. Rayne from Olympia,
Washington, arrived in Welsh Tuesday
being on their way westward after
visiting the capitals of thirty.four
states on their overland horseback trip
on which they are to call upon the
governor of every state in the Union
and extend an invitation to meet them
at the San Francisco Panama Expo.
Sition in 1915.
The four veteran coWmen started
from Olympia on May /, 1912 and they
are to complete their 10000 mile jour.
ney by June /, 1915,
With the party is the pack horse
Pinto" and the watch dog Nip, a
Gordon setter, who. have already COW
cred $4,000 miles. The Northwestern
Stockmens' Association has agreed to
give to the four men the sum of $4,000
providing the pack horse completes the
Journey. Pinto is of Arabian and
Morgan stock, weighing about 900 lbs,
and although he has already covered
more territory than any other pack
horse known, is in good condition to
complete the trip.
The party left for Texas and from
there will,viSit the capitals of Arkan.
sas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and
California, in the order named.
At each state capital the party has
| its photograph taken before the state
house with the governor and Pinto IN
the center of the group, as evidence
that the horse has made the trip along
with the rest of the party.

SOyWESTERA REFLECTIONS.

Most Of us didnt get in on time for
the Early Irish potato market Some
OF US who got in didn't plant the right
variety, or We d,da't plant early enou gh
or We didn't fer,lize properly. hence
these tears.
But an army OF farmers did get in
right, and at Lafayette, Carencro,
BrousSard and Breaux Bridge taey
have been selling potatoes since May
6th. A number Of carloads have been
disposed of and farmers received the
cash for their potatoes aS soon as they
were loaded on the cars.
This money comes in during a Lean
Season, and the fortunate farmers
who aVailed themselves of the oppor.
tunity do not now have to 90 hat in
hand to the merchants begging for
credit.
Another Lean Period" will he in
August, and those who have taken the
advice Of the Southwest Louisiana De.
velopment Bureau and have planted
pumpkin yams, will have the cash to
tide them over in safety. With three
cash crops year aud live stock and
hogs on the side. every farmer in
Southwest Louisiana can be indie.
pendent within two or three years.
Now let's talk drainage. All Of
Southwest Louisiana needs drainage.
Every day lost out Of the fields Is
money taken out of the pockets of the
farmer" A delay of one week during
the season of cultivation or harvest
may often spell the difference between
a handsome profit and disastrous loss.
Water.soaked land will not produce
as much by from twenty-five to one.
hundred per cent as well drained land
will produce. A decrease of twenty.
five per cent in the production of an
acre of land that would yield fifty
dollars is $1250. Can you afford to
continue paying that sort of tax for
the luxury of bad drainage, when forty
to fifty cents an acre drainage tax
would save you $1,000 per acre, aud
often more than that per year?
