ONLY TWO ]. & R.
 BILLS SUBMITTED
PRIMARY AND ANTI-PROnI
Measures are to be Voted Upon in November-EducatiOnal Amend
 ment is Strongly Favored.

Little Rock, July 6.-The time in which initiative petitions may be filed expired today. There has not been the usual appeal to this direct system of legislation this year. Out side of the three proposed amend ments, the only measures to be sub- mitted to the people at the Novem- Der election are the repeal of the statewide prohibition law, and the enactment of the pure primary bill.
 Some interesting fights are prom ised on some of these measures. It is developing that there is an under current of opposition to the primary law which will call forth the most earnest and eloquent appeals of it's advocates to overcome. It has the approval of party leaders, and sev- eral of them, including Col. Brun- didge, will take the stump for it. There is no denying the fact, however, that the opposition will be more or less formidable
 The campaign for the educational amendment, No. IF, to permit school districts to levy a tax of 12 mills for school purposes, is being prose- cutting vigorously. Dr. Brough is en- Enthusiastically committed to the meas ure, declaring that he is for the boys and girls, whatever the effect may be upon his political future. It's ad vocates are showing that the passage of thi amendment will not increase the taxes of single district in the state, unless majority of the elect ors of that district should vote in favor of higher rate of taxation. Under the proposed law, it will be possible for district to vote any amount it may desire, up to maxi mum of twelve mills. It is purely optional. It is probable that a ma jority of the districts would not ex- ceed the present maximum of seven mills.

Must Have Brains.-Here Is One.

A healthy humorist gets off good things even in business letters. Here is good sample from the pen of James K. Wallace:
 While this is unsolicited, I would be glad to have you print my testi- monial in your valuable sheet among other testimonials. Will say l had the malaria about two months this winter and tried several kinds of rem edies and never found anything that did the work until l tried Hays Specific and l must say it does the work, as find that Hays Specific and Malaria won't work together.
 l expect to keep Hays Specific in my house. The children won't cry for it, as some say, but I find after they take few doses they laugh and play because they feel good after taking two or three doses.
