CAUSING NO WORRY
Consolidation of Election Law Does
 Not Appear to Cause Trouble.

Little Rock, Dec 9.-(Special.)- The new consolidated election law does not appear to be causing any great amount of worry among the circuit judges and prosecuting attor- neys throughout the state. Only in two districts, it appears, the Little Rock district and the North Arkansas district. or the second circuit. are they paying any attention to the con struction that has been put upon 1t by some constitutional lawyers. Tn those two districts the present judges are running for re-nomination, all though their terms do not expire un- til 1918. After all it is party mat ter, and by the time the election of 1917 is seld it may be decided that their names must again go on the ticket. There is no end to the com plications that may arise, unless a test case can be taken into Supreme Court and the mooted question de- cided. Associate Justice Kirby, the only member of the Supreme Court affected by the law, has not announceo what he will do about it.

$15O,OOO FOR RED RIVER
Sulphur River Gets $12,OOO While Red

 For the Sulphur river, the esti- mates have called for $12,0OO, this may possibly be sufficient amount in the opinion of the army men to keep up what little work they feel shCuld be done i'll that stream but in the opinion of the men interested in seeing the development of the stream, it is not anywhere near the amount that could be utilized.

ARKANSAS LEADS IN APPLES
p More Than any Other State-iIiss
 es Grand Prize by Technicality.

San Francisco, Dec 8.-But for the fact that Arkansas apple exhibit was not in place on the opening day of the San Francisco exposition, the state would be entitled tc, the grand prize fer apples. Today the Jury of Aw ards decided in favor of the state On tie appeal of John P. Logan, who had charge of the Arkansas exhibits, anG awarded 50 more prizes on ArKansas apples. This makes total of 303 prizes on apples grown in this state and gives to Arkansas 25 more prizes on apples than any other state. In lieu of the grand prize the jury a. warded the state two medals of honor, the highest award and equivalent to the grand prize.
 Arkansas prizes cm apples, in addi- tion to the two medals of honor, con- sist of 25 gold medals, 175 silver med als and 176 bronze medals. The total is II greater than was received by the state On it's appe exhibit at the St. Louis. A ruing made beefore the op- ening of the exposition grounds pro- vided that no state should receive a grand prize unless it's exhibit was in place the opening day of the exposi- tion.

NEGRO MADE eDdD.> \,
Jim Talley on WaldrOp Farm tMakSs
 Good Record This Year, .s1s

The News is always glad to men ton and to see success encouraged. We believe that this is indeed coun- try of opportunity, and when we get like it will be an encouragement to others. This story is about Jim Tal- ley, q negro, and perfectly black. Jim was in town this week to settle with w. D. Waldrop, on whose farm he rented land this year. MT. Waldrop and Jim came into the News ofice and showed us the receipts of their settle ment. Jim went on the farm this spring owing numerous debts. He had no team. He had, nothing to fur nish himself with while making a crop. He had his two hands and a Will too work That was all. He bought pair of mules from MT. Wal drop for $500 on a credit He had to be furnished to make the crop. When he settled the other day he paid all his back debts for this year, and he paid for the mules with interest in full and received receipt. MT. Wal drop states that Jim has in his smoke house and barn a plenty to make his next crop. He has a team that is his and owes no man. This is winning success under handicap. If Jim keeps this up he will after while be able to buy farm. Jim wants tc be careful and not get the swell head and he will find the next steps easier. What he has done others can do.
