MANY COUNTIES TO

Little Rock, March 8.-Road build ing over Arkansas will be the princi- pal occupation of the masses if the number of road improvement districts which have been formed by the as- sembly this session it so be consid- cred. Nearly every county of the state is represented, unless they were already improved before the session began. No real long districts have been organized, but the Stafford bill has been passed to permit counties to settle this question for themselves in the future, and if they desire to join with another county in a pike across the state, they are at liberty to do so without going to the legislature for relief. Jefferson county has been the leader in the number of road dis tricts, but Miller has not been back ward, and Monroe, Prairie and Lonoke, getting taste of the bene- fits to be derived under them, have asked for many more districts.
 The longest stretch of highway, permanently improved, will be the Little Rock-Star City, via Pine Bluff. This entire route is now in districts, with only short gaps here and there

This arrangement will permit of the tenant raising everything that he needs that can be produced on a farm for his family and his teams. Then the landlord to receive from the tenants share of cotton on the rest of the farm an amount of cotton equal to that which would be the landlords share if the land given the tenant for food and feed crops had all been put in cotton Under this plan the landlord will receive his full rent in cotton as his share and the tenant will be pro- tected by producing his own food and feed stuffs"

NEXT WEDNESDAY,
 IS CLEANUP DAY
CITYTO REMOVE GARBAGE
EACH CITIZEN REQUESTED TO CLEAN HIS OWN PREMISES
 WEDNESDAY.

In compliance with the request of the National Federation of Women's Clubs, the Conway School and Civic Club, with the approval of the mayor and other city officials, has selected Wednesday, March 10, as cleanup day. for Conway. It is urged that every one help to make our city clean and sanitary by thoroughly cleaning his own premises on that day. The advantage of cleaning early is that all breeding places for flies, mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects are thus removed before warm weather comes.
 All garbage which cannot be burn ed will be removed by the city, free of charge. The wagons will have either whistle or megaphone to an nounce them and it is requested that the refuse be placed in boxes or bags in convenient place so that the work of gathering it up may be done as uickly and easily as possible.
 The following ladies have been ap- pointed as superintendents in their neighborhoods to arouse interest and to see that all trash is taken up by the wagons as they pass;
 First ward-Mrs. R. B. McCulloch, Mrs. L. H. Pyle, Mrs. F. E. Robins, Mrs. T. M. Moore, Mrs. H. s. Tray Tor; Second ward-Mrs. w. M. Har- rell, Mrs. Leo Hamburg, Mrs. J. H.

 It is hoped that March 10, will be our city's most successful cleanup day.

FURTHER FIGHT ON APPO|N1FFS OF HAYS SURRIDGf IS UNDER FIRE MANY APPROPRIATION BILLS ARE YET TO BE PASSED
 IN HOUSE.

Little Rock, March 8.-With in. creased activity, because the session IS so near it's end, the senate Mon- day started in to clean up all remain ing appropriation bills in order that they may go to the house for consid- eratlon there. Six bills remain to he passed upon entirely, and amend ments must be adopted on two, with amendments yet to be read on several others. This will delay the passage of quite few of the bills until Tues- day, but they can be read in the house before the end of the day. If they are then considered in a commit tee of the whole, and before the end of the day whatever amendments that are decided upon are adopted the bills can be passed Wednesday and sent back to the senate for con- currence. Should the bills in any way be delayed until Wednesday. it will be possible for the senate to act upon amendments and the appro- priations would thus go by default, resulting in special session.
 The assembly was moving rapidly. and with no chance for a special ses- sion, when the fight arose over the confirmation of L. l.. Coffman as a member of the board of control. knocking the senate out of a day, with prospects for further time to be devoted to it before the session closes. The matter was still further compli- cated by the announcement last night that charges, based upon court rec ord, that James Surridge of Walnut Ridge, appointed Thursday by Gov ernor Hays to the six-year term of the board of control of the state charitable institutions, was connected with illegal liquor selling and the maintaining of blind tigers" will be filed with the senate today Accord ing to Harry Ponder of Walnut Ridge, certified copies of court rec ords in Randolph and Lawrence coun- ties, will accompany the charges.
 If it becomes evident that there is to be special session of the legisla- euiC, ihCHiOcfS Ol lHe SpeCldf lfVeSLl- gating committee which is looking after the affairs of the old state board of charities, as we'll as the one making an investigation of state de- partments, will ask that it be delay ed for month in order that they may file their final report with the assembly. Members of these com mittees hope to get through with their work within a month, and they think the legislature should pass upon their findings. Neither committee can devote much time to the work until after the close of the session, though they have their accountants at work.
 No more bills can be presented in the general assembly after noon to- day, it being unlawful for any to be accepted during the last three days of the session. At the close of the Saturday session TAT bills had been introduced, 476 ;n the house.

.45 WITNFSSfSFOR TRIAL OF BL0UNT CASE IS UP WEDNESDAY, ALL IN READINESS FOR TRIAL OF SLAYER OF OSCAR
 l.. HONEA.

Fortyfive witnesses have been sum. moned to attend the trial of Lee Blount for the murder of Oscar l. Honea, which comes up at an ad. journed term of the Faulkner circuit court on Wednesday of this week. Ot this number 28 were subpoenaed by the state and IF by the defense.
 While the number of witnesses is large, it is not expected that the actual trial will consume a great length of time, the selection of a jury being probably the most difficult task for the court. Both panels of the petit jury which served at the Janu. ary term will return to the special term, but it is considered probable that a large number of others will have to be summoned before a jury of 12 men can be completed. The selection of the jury will doubtless require all of the first day and prob ably good part of the second day
 Blount will be represented by At torneys J. c. Clark and A. l.. Barber who were appointed by the court to defend him. Prosecuting Attorney J B. Reed of Lonoke will be assisted by George w. Clark, former prose cutting attorney of this district.
 Sheriff w. w. Bishop stated today that he would probably bring Blount from the state penitentiary, where he is being confined for safe-keeping, to Conway on Wednesday morning.

It passes through the Monroe county bottoms on White river, and auto mobiles must now be lowed twelve miles now to strike good road after going aboard the boat at Claredon This trip has been very expensive, but when it is eliminated there will be much travel into Arkansas from Memphis.
