Christi, that the federal reserve
board is considering a cotton relief
proposition he presented involving
the issue of $5O0,OOO,OO0 of fed

He proposed that the reserve
board advise member banks it will

BOY is DROWNED
AT PEACH ORCHARD
Poplar Bluff Lad Loses Life in
Pond of Water-No One Saw
the Accident.

Poplar Bluff Citizen Democrat:
Little eight year old Billy Kim
Minis, we'll known to the majority
of Poplar Bluff people and loved
by all who knew him, was acct
dentally drowned while on a visit
with his mother at Peach Orchard
Sunday afternoon. No one saw the
accident and friends here were
dumbfounded when news of his
death reached here Sunday evening.
Billy and his mother were on
their way to visit with relatives
near Peach Orchard. At the time
they were staying with Mrs. Brown,
a cousin, at the latter place. Billy
had gone out to play near a shall
low pond a short distance from
the home. A little after two o'clock
members of the family who went
in search for him found his body
near the shore. The pond was very
shallow, and it is believed that the
lad fell in, lost his head, and
strangled to death, or was suffo-
Gated with mud from the bottom.
He had apparently been dead only
few minutes when found.

CANDIDATES FAVOR
new PRIMARY LAW
Judge Walls, However, Thinks
Courts Ought Not to Be Allowed
to Pass on Contests.

Little Rock, Aug. 14.-So far as
can be learned, every candidate for
the democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation so far announced has come
out squarely for the proposed pri
mary election law defeated by the
last legislature. The experience of
the past four years in the contests
for United States senator and gov
ernor has made it plain to every
citizen that the present primary law
in the Kirby Clarke senatorial con-
test and the Brundidge-Hays gu
bernatorial contest it was shown
that the present law was sadly de-
ficient in more ways than one,
the courts holding that they were
helpless to correct alleged wrongs
for want of jurisdiction. The pro-
posed law, which Mr. Brundidge is
now seeking to initiate, will give
the courts ample authority to pun
ish all offenders who corrupt the
ballot, or in any way attempt to
defeat the will of the people at pri-
mary elections, whether they be
held by democrats or republicans.
Judge A. j. Walls, who is also be-
ing mentioned as a gubernatorial
possibility, although he has not yet
announced his candidacy, stated in
a public address several days ago
that he was opposed to the propos-
ed law because it delegated entire
ly too much authority in one man.
He favors the system giving party
organizations full power to settle
all contests when dissatisfaction
over the count occurs. There is no
penalty prescribed under the pres
ent law, but the act now about to
be initiated makes it a felony, with
punishment in the penitentiary, for
anyone to commit fraud in primary
elections. The proposed law is
something similar to the laws now
on the statute books relative to the
commission of frauds in regular
elections.

THE ARMY WORM.

The fall army worm that was
recently reported in Southern Tex
as is moving north and is now in
Louisiana. He has paid Greene
county few visits in the past
and he may come again this fall.
There are three or four and
sometimes five generations of the
worms each year. Each genera
ton is several times more numer-
Gus than the former one.
When the worm is full grown
he goes into the ground and makes
his change from worm to moth. Al
this stage of development he car
be almost completely destroyed by
frequent shallow cultivation.
If he is not yet in our fields but
toward them he can be kept out
by blowing deep furrow around
field for worms to fall into. Wher
a good many are in furrow, draI

lar actor will be seen in the famous
