The Business Mems League played


 result that when the session adjourn | ed the question was as undecided as when the directors Of the state fair
 requested, few days ago, that the l league give some official expression on
 this subject.
 The meeting developed a two hours | debate on the question, pro and COL. | Secretary Waters of the State Fair As
 sociation made an eloquent plea that
 the state fair be maintained, or that if l Hot Springs decide not to hold it, that
 the charter be given to Little Rock,
 whose people have done so much for Hot Springs" Later Secretary Wa | ters moved that the league decide not 1 to hold a state fair this year. This l brought out a storm of protest, with l the result that a subsequent motion prevailed to the effect that the league take no action in the matter at pres ent. President Gus Strauss fthe league appointed a committee to interview every business man in the city and as- certain in this manner whether the business interests of Hot Springs de- sired the fair to be held.
 The meeting agreed to disagree, and pending the visitation to business in- terests to gain information relative to the state fair, the question still stands where it was left by the State Fair | Association some time ago-to hold on to the charter and to try and give some entertainment under the auspices of the fair association this fall
 Incidentally it was suggested that if Little Rock really wanted the state fair and would raise the money to pay state fair notes still outstanding, there would not be much difficulty in solving the question.

The picking was fairly under way when the notice of cancellation was received. It is said the dealers contract because the price already has dropped below that agreed upon and the prospects of heavy yield indi- cate it will go lower. Several of the growers are said to have retained at torneys and to have announced they will at once file suit for damages against the dealers. Approximately 150 cars of the fruit were involved in the contracts
