ARKANSAS CROP
PROSPECTS, GOOD

Responding to queries sent out by
the Little Rock Democrat, bankers of
the state report excellent crop pros
poets. The only exception to the OPP
timistic views expressed came from
Fort Smith.
Writing about conditions in Jeffer-
son county, Cashier M. f. Bloom Of
the Citizens bank says:
cat this particular season of the
year business conditions are rather
inactive in mercantile lines. Howev-
err, business prospects, based on pres
ent crop prospects, are encouraging
to the highest degree. We have made
close investigation of crop prospects
in our vicinity in all sections of our
county, and reports are encouraging,
and especially on the health of the
growing crops. 1--WE are of the opinion
that the cotton acreage has been de-
creased about Is per cent, and oats
and other crops planted, all of which,
up to the present time. are proving
profitable to the farmers. The plant
ing of oats has been in past years an
experiment which is now proving to
be valuable"

LOCKER CLUB LAW
OF TENNESSEE IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Memphis, Tenn, June 26.-Tennes-
sees new locker club law, prohibit
ing storage of liquors for individual
use in social and fraternal clubs,
was held unconstitutional in oecis-
ion handed down by Judge Jesse Ed
rington in the criminal court.
The law became effective June l
last.
The ruling was made in test case
by local fraternal organization. The
contentious were that the act was un-
just and discriminatory; that the cap
ton of the bill did not meet the re-
quirements of the state constitution
and that it was in violation of the
fourteenth amendment OF the federal
constitution.
The state supreme court is expect
ed to pass upon the case at it's Sep

Clyde HellnmS, a Widely-knoWn

as a result Of an automobile accident
near Tamo late Friday evening, when
Tax Assessor John NJ. Lee of Lincoln

Sheriff B. F. McGraw OF Lincoln coun-

Tie actual extent of Mr.. Hellums'
injuries have not yet been positively
ascertained, it being reported at mid
night last night that he is still un-
conscious, although he has shown
flashes of semi-consciousness, when
he appeared to recognize relatives.
No bones were broken, and it is not
believed his skull was fractured.
Mr.. Lee was only slightly injured,
while young McGraW was bruised
only. Ernest Adams, negro, who was
driving the car, is said to be suffer-
ing with internal injuries. His broth
er, S. B. Adams, has a broken collar
bone and Alex Bell, the third negro,
was badly bruised
The party had been on trip with
Assessor Lee, who was making as
sessments, and were near Tamo, on
their way to Grady, when tire
blew out and the automobile plunged
into the air, turning two complete
somersaults before it fell on it's side
in the road. All the occupants were
thrown out.
Mr.. Hellums is we'll known in Pine
Bluff, and has a number of relatives
here. One of his sisters, Mrs. F. G.
Cross, went to Grady, in answer to
telephone message and is with Mr..
Hellums, who is at the home OF his
brother, Jules Hellums. A house
party of Pine Bluff people had been
planned, to leave here Wednesday
morning, and to be guests OF the Hell
ums family at Grady, but this has
been called off because OF Mr.. Hell

PROSPERITY TIDE

New York, June 26-Dun's Review

Gross currents in business chan

still predominates and further pro-
gress is manifest.
"The agricultural outlook has been
somewhat impaired by excessive
rains.
"Harvesting of winter wheat is de-
layed and corn has received set
back, yet crop failures from too
much moisture are comparatively
rare. Depressing influences are felt
less keenly because they are believ-
I'd to be TEN porary, and confidence in
the future remains mistaken.
although July dividend payments
will not equal last years it is hope
full sign that of late several corpor-
ate interests have announced increas-
ed disbursements including two rail-
roads operating in the middle west.
at now seems assured that the ma
tons excess of merchandise exports
over imports for the fiscal year will
amount to a round billion dollars, and
while less gold has come here hits
week France has arranged for large
loan at hits center. The proceeds of
this will be used to finance part of

ceeding John NJ. Slaton.
So tense was the feeling over the
recent action of Governor Slaton in
committing the sentence of Leu NJ

imprisonment, that every near-beer
saloon and every locker club in the

Every policeman on the city rolls was

militia were present at the cere-
monies. a~1
There was much cheering and the
crowds generally were goodnarured.
Twice, however, the outgoing gov

the act of turning over the great seal
of Georgia to the incoming executive,
and again when he started to leave
the capital.
At Governor Slaton's country home,
he is strongly guarded tonight by mi
litia. Tomorrow or Monday the for

few days resting up and will then
make trip through the West.
