big IMPROVEMENTS
MAY Be ABANDONED
Defeat of Bond Amendment is Ser
oius Blow to Score of Arkan-
sas Municipalities.

Approximately $1,5OO,000 worth
of municipal Improvements were
contemplated by Arkansas cities
and towns under amendment No.
IA, commonly known as the bond
amendment, which was thrown out
by the supreme court, and under
the present improvement district
law.
Definite steps toward extensive
municipal improvements had been
taken by many Arkansas towns and
cities. Several had held elections
and had contracted for the sale of
their bonds, the contracts being
made on condition that they were
versely on the amendment. Others
had set dates for their elections,
while others had made preliminary
surveys. Proposed improvements
included waterworks, water systems,
sewers, street paving and electric
light plant. One, that proposed in
Little Rock, and which formed a
basis for the test case was for the
purpose of erecting city hospital.
Ashdown is expecting to expend
$4,000 for waterworks and sew
ers; Sloan Springs is going to
will spend $4,000 in taking over
it's waterworks and light plant;
Springdale will spend $4,000 for
similar improvements; Russellville
expects to lay 100000 worth of
street paving and Hope is going to
spend 100000.
The following is a list of some
of the improvements which were
contemplated under the bond amend
ment:

filed in the Pulaski circuit court
Yesterday by the Arkansas state fair
association against Earle w. Hodges,
secretary of state, in an effort TO
compel him to include the Hot
Springs racing bill among the meas
,lres advertised when acts of the
last legislature approved by the
governor are published. The suit
is brought to test whether the bill
which Gov. Hays mutilated by twice
approving, twice disappearing and
then returning it to the house of
representatives with veto message,
is a law.
Hearing on the suit was set by
Circuit Judge Fulk for Tuesday,
April 6.
The suit is based on the allega-
ton that Governor Hays approved
the bill, and that after attaching
his signature and approving the bill
he could not revoke his action. w.
H. Martin, United States district
attorney, and James P. Clarke, Unit
ed States senator, are attorneys for
the association. w. L. Moose, at
torney general, will act for Mr..
Hodges. The attorney general when
notified the suit had been filed, an
nounced he would file an answer
within two or three days, thus prom
ising that the matter would not be
allowed to drag in the courts.
The bill, known as the Sawyer
racing bill, gaining that name be-
cause it was introduced in the house
of representatives by L. E. Sawyer
of Hot Springs, speaker of the
house, provides for appointment of
a state fair commission to supervise
racing, and allows for use of pari
mutuel betting machines at race
proceeds from the machines be used
in making up prizes and awards for
county and state fairs.
Little trouble was found in getting
the bill passed in the house as it
was originally introduced. But in
the senate the measure proved the
pivot of all further legislation until
it finally was disposed of. The
measures opponents submitted
amendment after amendment only
to have the amendments rejected
by a margin of one or two votes.
Finally, after many futile efforts to
get a vote on the bill itself, the
measures supporters allowed an
amendment exempting 35 of the rs
counties of the state from the bills
provisions. This amendment was
adopted and the bill, by a margin
ol one vote, was passed. When the
house was called upon to concur in
the amendment attached by the SEN
ate, there was split in the house
machine and it came near not being
adopted, carrying, as it did in the
StHdte, ny hldJOiiIN VI pVN NAAN
vote.
The complaint filed yesterday sets
out the actions of the governor
when he took the several actions
on the bill. The suit alleges that
he first prepared a veto message,
showing it to persons in his office,
- Aoly ~, oft
ernoon of Monday, March s, he
abandoned his plan to veto the bill
and attached his signature of APP
prevail Several men who say they
saw him sign the bill left the gov
ernor's private office, but were sum
moned back in few minutes by
the word that Governor Hays had
again changed his mind and had

Don't Sell Livestock.

The Progressive Farmer urges
the farmers of the South not to
be so eager to sell their horses
and mules. quoting Georgia
weekly to the effect that OK
perience shows that these ami
mails always are higher after a
war than they were before.
The demand created by the
war in Europe is very strong,
and prices for animals which
come within the very rigid
specifications are good.
The Progressive Farmer says
it is a well known fact that the
earnings of the farmers of any
community are usually in pro-
portion to the number of horses
they keep. OF course, it is poor
economy to keep horses and
mules to a number beyond those
needed, for idleness for them
means a heavy expense without
any return. 1t is likely, how
ever, that did our Southern
farmers use more horses and
mules they not only would in
crease their gross incomes but
their net profits as we'll.
Handwork on a farm is ex-
pensive labor. and as a general
proposition, it is safe to say,
selling off horses and mules is
bad management.

YOrk County News Items.
(YorkvilIe Enquirer.l

Ed Cowser, a negro boy, was
placed in the county Jail last
night charged with the theft of
watch, the property of Mr..
w. NJ. Whitesides of Hickory
Grove No. 2. The watch was
stolen last Wednesday.
Supervisor Boyd, Commissions
ers Smith and jackson and
Engineer Miller went out today
to inspect the Yorkville and
Rock Hill road to Fishing creek
with view to getting an idea
as to the work to be done in
connection with the rebuilding
that is soon to be commenced.
The home of Mr.. Hugh Wallace
who lives on Filbert No. l, was
destroyed by fire between seven
and eight o'clock Tuesday night.
The origin of the fire is un-
known, neither Mr.. Wallace nor
any of his family being at home
at the time. None of the con-
tents were saved. The house,
which is the property of Mr..
John Hartness, was insured.
1t is not likely that there will
be any large steel bridges built
in York county this year for the
simple reason that there is no
money with which to build.
Asked yesterday if any bridges
similar to that built over Fishing
Creek on the Saluda road near
Rock Hill, would be constructed
this year, Supervisor Boyd said
that it was not likely. Although
steel bridges are needed over
one or two streams in the county
the financial condition of the
county will not permit such ex-
penditure.

letter to the mayor follows:

have for some time been con-
siderably wrought up over a

deluge that is shortly to blot us
off of the earth, by disastrous
tidal Yave, | am writing you, as
your city was seen in this dream
and also lookout Mountain and
the mountain was the spot on
which a great many people were
saved from the great disaster.
This dream has been typewriter
more than year and it gives
the date of the great volcanic
upheayal in midocean. If you
have any faith in such warnings,
and you want to see this dream
and read it, ! will mail it to you,
if you will promise to return it
after doing so. / am willing for
you to show it to one of your
best newspapers there and if
you and him think well of it and
ne wants to, he can let it appear
in his paper as warning to your
city to prepare for the event,
that some flesh may be spared to
again replenish the new earth.
Yours very truly,
